"Twist?"

Fellow villagers, you look at me, I look at you, including the Ma branch secretary and several village cadres standing on the side, the same.

Farmers in remote mountain villages like them usually can't go to the county seat a few times a year, and their knowledge is very limited, and even if they have the opportunity to go out, they probably don't have spare money to consume snacks.

"Twist, twist ......" Only a young man with a shaved pot lid behind Ma Zhishu kept chattering, and then spoke weakly, "Teacher Li, are you talking about hemp candy, it's the kind of ...... where two pieces of dough are twisted together?"

Li Yadong glanced at him, this person did know, a young cadre in the village, who was smart, replied with a smile: "Yes, that's it." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be hemp candy. Ma Zhishu and the others suddenly knew it, but it was just because of local customs and different names, so they couldn't figure it out.

"Teacher Li, are you going to teach us how to make hemp candy?"

Ma Zhishu's eyes lit up, and he finally figured out the Tao inside, he is the most knowledgeable person in the village, and he usually goes out the most, so he quickly explained to the villagers who didn't know much, "Let me tell you, this thing is liked by people in the city, soaked in spicy soup or mutton soup to eat, it is very delicious!"

Everyone's eyes were also bright, and they realized that this was a good thing, whether it was called twist flower or hemp candy.

Li Yadong nodded and said: "Yes, I'll teach you this, after you learn it, let's build a donkey cart together and pull it to the town or county to sell it every day, and it can also be given to commissaries and restaurants, and it will definitely not be a problem to make a little money." ”

"That's great!"

Ma Zhishu slapped his thigh suddenly, and sighed that this Teacher Li was too smart, and he even thought of how to sell it for them.

What a powerful man!

They Dalong Village needs such a craft too much, how much is the demand for hemp candy, Ma Zhishu, who will go to meetings outside every once in a while, knows very well that urban residents have to eat almost every day, and it is half a staple food, where will it be sold.

"Then we'll start ......," Li Yadong smiled.

Most of the villagers below had never tasted this thing, and when they heard the village party secretary say it so well, they had already opened their eyes and stared at the long table without blinking.

The steps of making twist are actually not that complicated, but many things in this world are like this, even if you know that it is not complicated, there are always a few people who have the courage to try, so it is also that small group of people who make money.

In the era of a thorough seller's market, there is no need to worry about the problem of surplus commodities, and besides, it is still the basic grain of the country, and the first word "dry" is right.

Li Yadong scooped up a little water from the wooden bucket filled with clean water next to him, and after washing the handle, he began to make noodles.

Water in the northwest desert is definitely a cherished resource, such as Dalong Village, the whole village has only two wells, or the government funds to play, usually the villagers use water very economically, often a bucket of water will have a variety of uses, including Li Yadong They are the same, every time they go to fetch water, they look at the wells that seem to dry up if they are not careful, and they always dare not waste it, to put it mildly, he has not taken a bath since he came here, this summer, every day is to use a wooden basin to hold some water, take a towel to wipe it, the girls are the same, no way, under difficult conditions, everyone is equal, it is not good to specialize。

"Everyone remembers that when mixing noodles, you should add some oil, which is about 10 to 1 with flour, and then see if it is sweet or salty, and then add an appropriate amount of sugar or salt......

Li Yadong while facing each other, while explaining the details to everyone, after all, it is a thing made of grain, it is better to be more careful, to avoid everyone to take fewer detours, because every time it fails, it means that more food is lost, and even the landlord's family has no surplus grain this year.

After kneading the flour and oil and ingredients with his hands, Li Yadong began to add water to it, "Everyone usually focuses on pasta, I won't say much about the steps of kneading dough, I only need to pay attention to one point, don't knead the dough too hard, slightly softer, so that the twist taste will be better." ”

The villagers listened attentively, including Ma Zhishu and a few people, they also have to learn, although they are village cadres, they have a pitiful salary every year, but they are basically on the books, and no one has to be much better.

There are also delicate people, and I was thinking at this time, isn't this Teacher Li a dignified college student, how can he get along and be more skilled than their mothers-in-law who cook every day?

However, more people directly ignore this problem, what are you kidding, people are college students, what ability is not, what is so rare with a face?

"Once the dough is ready, cover it with a damp cloth to keep it moist, and let it sit for about 20 minutes, because you have to make it again. ”

Twenty minutes passed quickly, Li Yadong kneaded the whole dough into a long strip, then picked up the wood chips that scraped the dough, cut out small agents, and then covered with a damp cloth and left it for another ten minutes.

"The previous steps are simple, presumably many people have experience, but now everyone has to take a serious look, if the sight is not good, you can come around and take ......a look," Li Yadong reminded.

Because the next thing is to rub the twist, which will directly affect the appearance, most people buy things first to look at the appearance, good quality is very important.

When the villagers heard this, they all got up and stepped forward, and put Li Yadong and the long table inside and outside three layers outside, but fortunately, it was not yet noon, otherwise they would have to suffer from heat stroke on such a hot day.

In fact, it is not difficult to rub the twist, the key is to be careful, the good small agent is kneaded into a slender strip, and then the two are put together and rubbed in the opposite direction, and the two ends are combined, and a twist embryo is completed.

Li Yadong is very simple to do, but he will be useless, in order to ensure that everyone learns at one time, simply let them try it themselves, there are so many people on the scene, with each household as a unit, each household must have at least one person, and must rub out a twist embryo in good condition, just take his root as the standard, and continue to rub it if it doesn't work.

This process took a lot of time, and there was always a handicap party, and after more than an hour of hard fighting, under Li Yadong's patient guidance, he finally barely reached the standard.

"It's a bit long, the twist embryos have dried, and the taste of the fried ones must have an impact, but there's no way, let's fry them first, and the main thing today is to operate the complete steps for everyone. ”

The temperature around the bonfire was too high, and without Li Yadong's action, Ma Zhishu had already sent someone to wash the pot and pour oil.

Oil is still quite expensive in this year, and everyone regards fried food as garbage in the future, but in this era, everything fried out of oil is more expensive, which also creates a higher status of twist in the northwest region than steamed buns or flatbreads.

"The oil temperature doesn't need to be too hot, you can put your hand on it and feel it, just two percent hot. ”

Li Yadong really taught him by hand, this step was not replaced, and under the scorching temperature, he held the wooden tray and stepped forward and twisted the embryo.

Then you have to pay attention to the color in the pot at all times, sweating like rain all over your body, and the body is really cold and can't be cool.

After about seven or eight minutes, the twist embryos have all been fried until golden brown and can be taken out of the pan.

"After cooling for a while, you can taste it, people who have eaten it to see if it is this taste, the taste should be worse, when you go down to do it again, remember to pay attention to the speed when rubbing the twist, don't let the water in the dough evaporate and dry." ”

A total of more than 30 twist flowers were fried, and the villagers ate them separately, and those who had never eaten them only felt that this twist was so crispy and crispy, and they were full of praise.

Ma Zhishu, these people who have eaten, after tasting it, are actually very praised.

"Teacher Li, it's not bad, it's not bad at all, I feel better than what is sold in the county. ”

"Yes, Mr. Li, it's fragrant!"

"Anyway, I don't feel anything wrong, it's definitely good to sell when I take it out......"

Li Yadong smiled and waved his hand, "It's just a psychological effect, after all, I did it myself, and another one, it has something to do with just coming out of the pot." ”

"Mr. Li, you are too modest......",

"No, that's the case for people with great power. ”

"Haha......"

The villagers were all smiling, and they couldn't hide the excitement on their bodies.

Li Yadong saw all this in his eyes, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and smiled, "It's up to you next." "The reckless age
