Chapter 124 Want to lie down
At noon, the two aunts who were invited arrived.
Maybe because Li had reminded them that they were going to cook, they cleaned up very neatly, wrapped their hair with towels, and tied their sleeves tightly. At first glance, they were efficient workers.
"Aunt Lianhua, Sister-in-law Xiaolan." Xiaocaoer greeted people when she saw them coming.
"Oh, we haven't seen each other for a few days. Our little grass has grown taller again." Lotus said as she reached out and touched the little grass's white and plump face.
Xiao Cao'er was no longer surprised by this situation. Everyone who saw her wanted to touch her face, either by touching or pinching it.
She doesn't let them succeed in everything. She looks at the person and her mood.
After saying hello, they started working.
Xiao Caoer looked at the powder that had settled. The water was clear and the powder could be vaguely seen at the bottom. "Dad, please pour this water out, just like this morning. Be gentle and don't shake the powder away."
Yang Dashan: “Yeah, got it.”
Seeing him pouring water, Xiao Caoer asked Li and the others to divide the work and arrange who would do what, otherwise they would be in a hurry when they arrived at the meeting.
All the steps were explained to Li last night. Now Li was explaining to Lianhua and Xiaolan what to do next, while Xiaocaoer was watching beside them.
Start pouring water into the pot, "Mom, light the fire!"
Xiao Cao saw that they had poured out the water. Li took out some powder with gauze and boiled it with water powder in a while. The rest could be hung up and dried after the water was dried.
Li took a basin, added a small amount of powder to hot water to make a paste, then gradually added powder into the basin, pressed it down hard, and finally played with the powder. When he felt it was almost ready, he could filter the powder into the gourd ladle.
Li gave Xiaolan and the others two pairs of extra long chopsticks. "Xiaolan, if the flour leaks down and floats up, you can help scoop it into the basin. Lianhua, you mainly watch how I do it, and help her keep an eye on it."
On the stove next to her is a basin of cold water that she has prepared in advance. The powder should be cooled after it comes out of the pot, so that it will be more resilient.
Xiaolan had never seen such a scene before. Her hand holding the chopsticks was shaking slightly. She said excitedly, "Just pick it out?"
"um, yes."
Li's powder was already in the ladle. She tapped the ladle gently, and the powder fell down very smoothly. White lines fell into the water, slowly became transparent, and then floated up.
Seeing the floating powder, Xiaolan quickly scooped it out and put it into a basin of cold water.
After working for a while, the two people's cooperation was obviously very harmonious. One was leaking the noodles and the other was scooping them out. In a short while, they had made a pot of noodles.
This is also tiring. After Lianhua had seen enough, she felt that she could give it a try, so she took over the work from Li. She and Xiaolan also worked together seamlessly.
It took another hour to make all the noodles into vermicelli. I left some in the pot, intending to eat it that night, and took out the rest and put them in a cool place to dry.
This is just a trial phase, and it is not certain whether it will succeed.
Old Lady Yang and Xiao Caoer picked a handful of green vegetables and a handful of green onions in the vegetable garden. They also picked a few red peppers, washed them, cut the green onions into chopped green onions, smashed the peppers into small pieces, and chopped a piece of fatty and lean pork belly into minced meat.
Old Mrs. Yang threw the vegetables into the pot, stirred it back and forth, and when she saw that the color had changed, she took out the vegetables and noodles and put them back into the pot to cook.
The water in the pot was just right, so she seasoned it directly, added salt, soy sauce, Sichuan peppercorns, a spoonful of lard, stirred it, and scooped it into the bowl.
The Sichuan peppercorns were kindly provided by Xiaocaoer.
Then heat the oil in a pan, add the chili and stir-fry until fragrant, then add the minced meat to make a whistle shape, scoop into a bowl and sprinkle with chopped green onions.
The aroma immediately filled the air, and everyone gathered in the kitchen, unable to help drooling.
"Wow, grandma, you are so awesome. This vermicelli is so fragrant." Xiao Cao'er stood at the kitchen door and flattered Grandma Yang inside.
"Auntie, your cooking skills are really good." Lianhua gave a thumbs up to Old Lady Yang.
"That's right, the freshly made vermicelli can be made into a new food, it's amazing." Xiaolan also praised.
Old Lady Yang's tail slowly rose to the roof: "Okay, okay, no matter how much you praise me, I will only give you one bowl. Come on, take it to the main room and eat it."
Everyone came over to serve their bowls, and Li served Xiaocao'er's, and she followed behind happily.
Looking at the fried browned minced meat, red peppers, green vegetables, and transparent noodles, everyone's eyes were filled with amazement and their mouths were watering automatically. Everyone took their own bowls, sat at the table and started eating.
Xiao Cao was thinking while eating, it’s not bad to cook it like this, but hot and sour noodles are even better, so she needs to study how to make the ingredients for hot and sour noodles.
Swallow, actually, pork stewed with vermicelli is also good. Let’s serve a new dish to Brother Xingyun’s restaurant.
Let's just make them all dry for easy transportation. Brother Hua Ming will definitely be able to buy them all for me.
Xiao Caoer: In an era of material scarcity, being able to make such delicious food is already very good. Don’t ask for too much.
Just like modern people, a handful of noodles, some vegetables and a poached egg is also a meal.
This sweet potato vermicelli can also be made like this, it doesn’t have to be spicy and sour vermicelli.
Wait until these are dry and see how they turn out. If they are successful, we can then start mass production.
That night, Xiao Caoer sat on a reclining chair in the yard, staring at the night sky in a daze, counting the stars in the sky, one, two, three... countless stars, but none of them belonged to me.
I sighed in my heart and really wanted to lie down!
After a few days, the sweet potato vermicelli were dried. Xiao Cao calculated the vacation time of his brothers in the school. At night, his brothers did not come back, so he guessed that Mr. Zheng had given them more tasks.
She soaked some vermicelli in advance and planned to take it to the county town the next day to let her brothers try the new food.
The next morning, Xiao Cao'er ran around the village twice, and then performed two sets of military boxing in the drying yard in the backyard to complete his exercise.
"Oh, you're sweating again. Hurry, hurry, hurry, put on these clothes. Be careful not to catch a cold. I've boiled some water for you and brought it to the bathroom. Go ahead and I'll find some clothes for you."
Seeing her granddaughter running and playing and sweating all day, Old Lady Yang felt heartbroken and secretly made a note of everyone in the family except her and Xiao Caoer.
"Thank you, grandma! You are so kind to me."
