Chapter 85: One More Day
A meal of noodles is sparse. Even the noodle soup in the clay pot was drunk.
And in order to satisfy Yu Wuya, a big foodie, Chen Xu made noodles three times in a row before he stopped.
"Hiccup~" Yu Wuya leaned and sat on the grinding frame and kept burping, stroking his belly and humming: "This noodle made by Engong, I'm afraid the first emperor has never eaten it, and after leaving Engong, he can't eat such delicious food, which is a big hatred in life!" ”
Well, Chen Xu, who is a sycophant, is very satisfied, and he is often satisfied, just because he crossed over to satisfy his little appetite, he not only invented a stone mill, but also invented noodles, which made noodles be advanced by hundreds of years in China's brilliant food civilization.
"Hiccup~" Chen Xu also burped comfortably and said with a smile: "That's not simple, make some noodles and bring them with you after drying, you can cook them at any time if you want to eat them in the future, if you have vegetable oil, you can also make instant noodles, add a little lard and salt seasoning packets, even if you brew it with boiling water in the ice and snow, you can eat it in an instant, that is a must-have for home travel!" ”
"Eun Gong is saying that this noodle can be cooked and eaten at any time after drying?" Yu Wuya suddenly exclaimed.
"That's nature, noodles are easy to process, shelf-stable, and faster to eat than coarse grains such as corn corn, as you have just seen, and it is very convenient to cook."
"Okay, this is the best, let's make more today, my sister and I can still eat it when we go back to Wancheng, Engong is simply a master in the food industry!" Yu Wuya excitedly began to pat again.
Even Shui Qingrou's eyes lit up, and her pretty face showed a touch of surprise.
So after resting and eating, Yu Wuya couldn't wait to jump up, turned into an electric motor and began to grind frantically, and after seeing Chen Xu demonstrate a few times, Shui Qingrou also eagerly took the bamboo spoon and began to feed the grinding, and soon did it handy, completely becoming a pretty village girl who grinds noodles, and the two brothers and sisters are extremely skillful in cooperating.
The milled flour was sifted out by Chen Jiang, and the white flour was put into a large clay pot.
Chen Xu cut a few bamboos and tied them under the pergola, then made a large pot of noodles, rolled them into a thin dough and cut them into noodles, and then instructed the apricots to hang on the bamboo poles one by one to dry.
The five of them cooperated with each other and were busy all afternoon, grinding out more than ten catties of flour, and the noodles made were full of seven or eight bamboo poles, until Yu Wuya's tired hands couldn't lift up.
Looking at the uneven length, short, width and uneven noodles swaying in the wind like twine, Chen Xu couldn't help but twitch his cheeks a few times.
At present, the conditions are too poor, the cutting board is too small, and there are no adzes and planers, the cutting board is spliced with bamboo nails with sawn down wooden boards, the surface is uneven, so the dough rolled out is also uneven in thickness, and the knife work is not good when cutting, and the thickness of the thickness is fine, so the noodles are completely uneyed.
Although Chen Xu couldn't look at it, these noodles made Yu Wuya excited, like a big horse monkey drilling through the noodles.
"Brother Xu, what are you doing?" After harvesting the wheat, Niu Dashi, who came over with a bamboo tube and drinking tea, looked at the white twine hanging on the bamboo poles, and was very surprised to pull a few with his hands.
"Niu Dashi, if you move around again, I won't give you noodles?" Apricot yelled with a tense face.
Niu Dashi hurriedly withdrew his claws, but his face was full of excitement, "Brother Xu, this is the noodles you are talking about?" ”
"Yes, this is the noodles, the braised pork rib noodles we ate at noon are soft and glutinous, especially delicious!" Apricot began to show off again.
"Hey, girl, can you let me taste it?" Niu Dashi looked at the noodles hanging on bamboo poles and began to drool.
"Xing'er, cook a bowl for Brother Dashi!" Chen Jiang said as he cleaned up the clay pots and rattan baskets all over the ground.
"Hmph, I can only eat one bowl!" Apricot muttered a little dissatisfied, but she still started to make a fire and boil water very quickly.
"Sister Xing'er, help me cook a bowl too!" Yu Wuya said gratefully with a smile.
Xing'er nodded and glanced at the water that was helping Chen Jiang's things clean up, and then cooked a few more handfuls of noodles.
While Niu Dashi waited anxiously, the noodles were quickly cooked, and the pork lard, chopped green onions, and a spoonful of braised pork rib soup left over from noon were brought to the table.
"Let's eat!" Xing'er angrily paused the noodles in front of Niu Dashi.
Niu Dashi was not unhappy in the slightest, but opened his mouth excitedly, and couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and stir them a few times, but he didn't care whether it was hot or not.
"Hmmm, delicious, delicious, delicious!"
The entrance is soft and slippery, and with the thick soup of braised pork ribs and the aroma of lard, Niu Dashi can't help but shout loudly while eating.
But obviously not reading a book is different from reading a book, his praise words are very pale, only two words delicious, far less than Yu Wuyan's sycophant.
"I've been pushing the mill all afternoon, and I'm really hungry!" Yu Wuya took the noodles handed over by Xing'er and began to gobble them up, "This noodle is much stronger after drying, soft and moderate, more refreshing than at noon, plus the bone broth is full of fragrance, delicious, peerless delicious!" ”
"Sister Shui, come and eat a bowl too!" Xing'er was very satisfied, and helped Shui gently bring a bowl and put it on the table.
"Water girl, let's eat, they've been busy with us all afternoon, and they must have been hungry for a long time!" Chen Jiang gently pushed the water to the edge of the table.
"Senior sister, eat quickly, the noodles at this time are even more delicious!" Yu Wuya also urged repeatedly, Shui Qingrou finally didn't carry the temptation of noodles, sat down a little shyly, picked up chopsticks and ate nervously.
Time flickered, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the next day.
"Senior sister, don't rub it off, let's leave early after breakfast!" Yu Wuya once again stood at the door with two baskets of tea leaves and a large bag of dried noodles to urge.
Shui gently dressed up and dressed up, slowly walked out of Chen Xu's room and stood under the eaves, gently fiddling with his skirt with both hands hesitantly, and whispered with a blushing face: "Senior brother, can we stay for another day, my hand has not healed yet, and I can't hold the reins of the horse!" ”
Yu Wuya looked at the two hands wrapped by his junior sister like zongzi, his face twitched a few times, he clearly remembered that this girl had already untied the sackcloth when he ate noodles yesterday, and his hands were flexible and free, and it seemed that there was no big problem.
"Then stay one more day! Just enough to help me grind wheat! Chen Jiang smiled.
"It's okay, I haven't eaten the steamed buns and dumplings that Engong said!" Yu Wuya roughly guessed his junior sister's thoughts, although he was helpless, he still readily agreed, to be honest, in fact, he didn't want to leave.
