Chapter 972: Longevity Noodles
The custom of longevity noodles has been passed down in China for 2,000 years, and it can be said that it is a very old tradition of the Chinese nation, but with the recent invasion of Western culture, this traditional custom has been greatly hit.
Especially after the Western cake entered China, many Chinese families have abandoned the custom of making a bowl of longevity noodles for the elders when they celebrate their birthdays, especially in the cities, and it has been completely abandoned and replaced by cakes.
Whether it's a birthday or a banquet, there is always only a cake in it, and longevity noodles can't be seen at all.
The invasion of Western culture is very strong, which can be seen.
Zhao Chaogang's three uncles actually wanted to prepare a big cake for his grandmother, a cake as high as a floor (Zhao Chaogang's nephew spent so much money for his grandmother's birthday, they are his grandmother's biological sons, of course they have to come up with something that can be handled), but this plan was refuted by grandmother and Zhao Chaogang.
Grandma refuted the three uncles' mentions, Chinese have to follow the old tradition of Chinese to celebrate their birthdays.
Besides, my grandmother's previous birthdays were all bowls of longevity noodles, and they were cooked by my grandfather, and my grandmother wanted to reminisce about the taste of longevity noodles, which was a kind of commemoration of my dead grandfather.
Hearing that his old mother wanted to commemorate his dead old father, the three uncles didn't say anything again, and even their grandson was clamoring for cake, but they were ruthlessly criticized.
On my grandmother's birthday, I decided to make longevity noodles.
The three uncles wanted to make a bowl of longevity noodles for their grandmother to eat, but unfortunately, they didn't have this skill, and the three uncles couldn't even make noodles, let alone stretch the noodles to a length of 73 meters. Therefore, in the end, the matter of making longevity noodles fell into the hands of Zhao Chaogang.
Making longevity noodles is actually simple, but it is also difficult to say.
Simple and simple methods, difficult and difficult methods, like the simplest method, go directly to the supermarket to buy longevity noodles, like the usual following to do it, but such longevity noodles are too simple.
Rare words. It is to make noodles with your own hands, roll noodles, and make whistles.
If you want to make your own longevity noodles, you have to prepare refined flour and eggs. salt, salad oil. Rolling Battle. soy milk, wash clean gauze.
After preparing these things, first put the eggs, salt, and refined flour together according to a certain ratio, and pour a certain amount of soy milk (water is also fine). Then start kneading the dough, very hard, repeatedly, and so on. The longevity noodles made will be very strong.
After feeling that the dough is ready, the gauze that has been washed in advance is moistened in clean water, and then the dough is covered with wet gauze.
To make pasta, whether it is leavened noodles or dead noodles, as long as it is boiled or steamed, it is used. It is to put the noodles in an unventilated place for a while after making good noodles or making good noodles, and then they can be molded.
For dead noodles, cover the noodles with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and leave them for a while, so that the gluten can better play its role in increasing the toughness of the noodles. The purpose is to make the steamed pasta softer, or the boiled pasta more tender and delicious.
At the same time, you can start to make whistles, the whistle of longevity noodles should not be too fancy, especially the whistle of longevity noodles of the elderly, or it should be light, so that it is good for the body of the elderly.
The whistle that Zhao Chaogang made this time was just bone broth, the few thigh bones in the pig's thighs, the soup cooked from such big bones, plus the ingredients that Zhao Chaogang took out from the martial arts secret realm, it was absolutely delicious.
Now at the door of the kitchen, the grandsons of the three uncles were all poking their heads there, their mouths full of saliva, they were lured by the smell of Zhao Chaogangton's bone broth. It's a pity that this bone broth is stewed for grandma, and no one can eat it until grandma doesn't eat it, which is a rule left over from the old days.
After half an hour, the noodles are ready, and it's time to stretch the dough into long noodles.
However, pulling dough into noodles requires not only good skills, but also a lot of strength and stamina, so if you don't think you have such skills, you should obediently roll the dough into noodles with a rolling pin.
If you don't know how to use a rolling pin, you can also rub it by hand, although the final longevity noodles don't look good, and a little thick, but at least this is the longevity noodles you made with your own hands, and your parents will never dislike the bowl of longevity noodles you made. For your parents, your heart is the best birthday present.
Everyone must have seen the ramen technique in the ramen shop, so the walkers will no longer be verbose here.
Half an hour later, the longevity noodles made by Zhao Chaogang were finally ready, and this longevity noodles were definitely just seventy-three meters long.
When Zhao Chaogang was making this longevity noodle, he had been monitoring it with his divine sense, so after Zhao Chaogang pulled this longevity noodle, it was exactly seventy-three meters long.
Although it doesn't matter if there are more or less, if it is exactly 73 meters, that is not a good sign! In the countryside, it is a good omen to pay attention to doing things.
At eleven o'clock at noon, my grandmother's 73rd birthday banquet finally began, this time the banquet Zhao Chaogang prepared a total of 28 tables of banquets, every family in Liujiabao was invited to eat, this is the custom in the countryside, as long as there is any great joy, when the banquet is placed, every family in the village should be invited, and there are many lively people.
Grandma's real relatives only have eight tables, of course, the dishes on this are a little better than the others, such as those 'dragon and phoenix soup' made with 'flag snakes' only on these eight tables, the 'dragon and phoenix soup' on other tables is only made of water snakes caught in the village, wild freshwater eels are only available on these eight tables, and the others are farmed freshwater eels.
The other dishes are all exactly the same, and there is always a difference between intimacy and intimacy.
Before his grandmother's birthday banquet, Zhao Chaogang's direct blood relatives kowtowed to his grandmother sitting on the Taishi chair in the lobby of his grandmother's house and said happy birthday, even Zhao Chaogang was no exception.
"Mom, I wish you a happy birthday, every year has today, every year has today!" Zhao Qiang and his wife kowtowed to their grandmother first.
"Grandma, nephew Zhao Chaogang kowtows to you here, I wish you a happy birthday, every year has today, every year has today!"
Zhao Chaogang kowtowed to his grandmother three times very seriously, some people said that Zhao Chaogang's blessings were very old-fashioned, and they were too simple, and there was no birthday gift, it seemed too shabby, then I can only say one sentence, you really watched too much TV.
When you celebrate the birthday of your relatives, you directly come with some very literary and artistic greetings, not to mention whether your relatives can understand it, and you have shown your culture to others, implying that other people's culture is not as high as you.
It's like Zhao Chaogang saying to his grandmother for a while, very literary and artistic words to wish a happy birthday, can she understand grandma? Grandma can't understand at all, grandma only went to the second or third grade of primary school, can only understand words, want her to understand those congratulatory words that are very literary and artistic, it is really difficult for her.
As for birthday gifts, Zhao Chao is to take out millions, or even tens of millions of birthday gifts, is it really good for grandma's birthday?
First of all, Zhao Chaogang's three uncles will be very embarrassed, the nephew has taken out tens of millions of birthday gifts, but as his own son, he has no gifts at all, and others will definitely say something behind his back, and when the time comes, it will only stiffen the relationship between Zhao Chaogang and the three uncles.
Besides, birthdays in the countryside are all wrapped in a red envelope, and when they arrived at their grandmother's house, they were all given directly, most of the red envelopes were one hundred, two hundred, and the wealthy ones in the family were five hundred, one thousand, if Zhao Chaogang came up with tens of millions of gifts, what do you let these relatives think, and when the time comes, the atmosphere of this birthday banquet will be destroyed.
Having a happy birthday is the best reward for your loved ones.
"Grandma, my niece and daughter-in-law Li Liping is kowtowing to you here, I wish my grandmother a happy birthday, every year has today, every year has today!" Zhao Chaogang just started kowtowing, and Li Liping also kowtowed with Zhao Chaogang immediately, although he and Zhao Chaogang are not married yet, but don't worry so much about this day.
"Grandma, I kowtow to you, I wish my grandmother a happy birthday, every year has today, every year has today!. ”
"Okay, okay, get up, get up, Chaogang, you have to know Pingping well in the future, otherwise it's up to me to clean you up." ”
Grandma asked Zhao Chaogang's family to get up with a smile on her face, she was very satisfied with Li Liping, her nephew and daughter-in-law, she was filial to herself, and she was also very diligent in housework.
"Grandma, there are gifts for grandma. Grandma, today is your birthday, can you sing a happy birthday song to your grandmother?"
Grandma just asked Zhao Chaogang's family to get up, and she came to her grandmother's side, and said to her grandmother like a treasure.
"Okay, okay, Nan Nan sings a birthday song to grandma, of course grandma likes to listen to it, Nan Nan is really grandma's intimate padded jacket!" Hearing that Nan Nan still wanted to sing Happy Birthday to herself, Grandma's face was full of smiles.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you....... ”
Soon, a burst of happy birthday songs full of children's voices sounded in the lobby, and the ...... did not disperse for a long time. (To be continued......)
