Chapter 151: Braised Noodles

Originally, they didn't plan to open a shop, but this winter the weather is fine, and the meeting is still in the middle of the meeting, but when it rains, it snows and they can't go.

Meihua has also made some money in the past two months, and she discussed with Wang Changshun and others of the Zhou family to rent a small shop in Jiangma, so that she can sell it every day, so she doesn't have to worry about bad weather.

They looked at several, and there was a rent fee of five taels of silver a year, and Meihua and others took a fancy to it and wanted to rent it, so they looked for Qiaozhen to see if it could work.

Qiaozhen has been to see, the location is OK, not remote, the house is not big, not small, you can put a few tables in it, if you rent it here, no matter how windy or rainy it is, no one will worry.

Qiaozhen nodded, and then began to teach the second brother and sister-in-law to make food, pork stewed noodles, mutton stewed noodles, these two things, in addition to fire, plus meat buns, these are enough to eat now.

Speaking of braised noodles, people in the Central Plains mainly eat noodles, and they feel uncomfortable if they don't eat noodles.

This braised noodle is not too cumbersome to make, but it is more troublesome than ordinary noodles, first of all, the time of mixing the noodles is really to add a little salt water to the noodles, and then add water, and tell the people watching the trick while adding.

The dough should be kneaded evenly, and it should be formed into a dough with moderate hardness and softness, and after it is reconciled, Qiaozhen covered the dough with a basin and said to let the dough rise for about a quarter of an hour.

At this time, Qiaozhen asked Qiaozhen to boil the pot, and then she put the mutton and lamb leg bones into the pot to boil, before Qiaozhen had soaked the meat and leg bones in cold water, and soaked for about two quarters of an hour.

Qiaozhen put ginger and green onions in the pot, as well as fennel, which are to remove the smell and enhance the flavor. is indispensable, and then Qiaozhen explained that Qiaohong, the time when the soup comes out of the foam must be skimmed, so that the soup is fresh.

When the dough is awake, Qiaozhen kneades it again. After kneading, she covered it again and woke up for a quarter of an hour, repeating this several times until the dough was smooth and elastic, and then Qiaozhen nodded.

She kneaded the dough into long thick strips and cut it into the same size with a knife.

Then she rolls out each dough into a rectangular sheet about 1 centimeter thick, and asks the plum blossom to help put some oil on it, and put it there to wake up. This one wakes up for about a quarter of an hour.

When it was time to wake up, Qiaozhen told Meihua and others that in addition to mutton soup, pork can also be used, if it is pork. Just boil pork and big bones, the steps are the same, and it takes about an hour and a half to boil.

As for the ingredients, vermicelli, shredded kelp, and daylily are used. These tricks were also soaked in advance.

A pot of soup is gurgling on the stove, smelling fragrant. Wait until it is boiled. Although the soup did not become milky white, it also looked quite fond of people, and it attracted water.

Qiaozhen scooped the soup into a small pot, took the awakened dough and stretched it into long strips, and then went down to the pot.

Then put in the kelp shreds, daylily and vermicelli. After putting salt and simmering for a while, she sprinkled green onions into it.

"Okay, let's have a bowl and try it. See how it tastes. Qiao Zhen smiled, she was very beautiful in her heart, because she looked good. The Wang family served a bowl of it, and the time of eating it was accompanied by garlic and a little chili oil.

A mouthful of noodles and a mouthful of garlic, everyone sweated profusely, shouted fragrant, shouted happy, Qiaozhen was also very satisfied.

The stewed noodles give her the feeling of mellow soup, tough noodles, crispy meat, and delicious flavor. She believes it will be popular.

As for the other kind of fire, the fire burns flat and round like a baked cake, because it is made out of the fire, so it is also called fire.

Fire is used to make noodles, noodles do not need to be too ruthless, Qiao Zhen said the trick while doing it, after the noodles are kneaded, kneaded into noodles. Roll the dough well, roll it out into long strips, then roll up the long strips, flatten them, and start rolling them out again.

Roll it out not much, and then put the fire on the iron lid, this is specially made for the kang fire, the top is a round iron lid, the bottom is a coal fire, of course, the firewood is burned, the top is pasted into mud, only a small hole is left, let the flame slowly come up, heat.

The fire was placed on the iron lid, and Qiaozhen turned and pressed it with her fingers, and in a few moments it was pressed into a round cake, and then she started the next one.

When the fire slowly changed color, he turned it over, and after turning it over, Qiaozhen continued to roll it out.

"Eldest sister, the fire is bulging." Qiao Hong shouted next to her.

Qiao Zhen smiled, there will be a big bag in the middle of the fire and then heated, and it will bulge, which is normal, so it's okay.

She picked up the fire, put it in the stove regardless of the heat, and set it aside one by one, so that the fire could continue to heat up, and when it was completely ready, she could take it out.

Qiaozhen handed over all these to a few people, and she has been helping out in the plum blossom store after she was busy with the move.

I thought it was cold, and there weren't many people coming to eat, and the big guys just wanted to learn more and prepare for the coming year. How do you know that the business is still very good, first a few of the next door smelled the fragrance to eat, and said that it was good to eat, so it was passed on to ten, ten to hundred, there were many guests who came to the door, there was no place to sit if there was time to squeeze, and some people took a bowl, squatted on the side, and the people around them ate while chatting, but also had a special interest.

Erzhong and Meihua, Qiaohong are all busy, Zhou's family takes care of the family, and she has to take care of her mother-in-law, and Qiao'e has to cook and watch the children, so they can't help.

Qiaozhen led Jia Shi over to help every day. Meihua plans to let his nephew come to help after the New Year, and then find a good daughter-in-law in the Zhuangzi to come to work, otherwise he will be really busy.

Pay is rewarded, they work so hard, the silver money is a lot of money, every day to earn money, plum blossoms will give half of the mother-in-law, because she has to spend, buy things every day, and have money in their hands that can be moved. In addition, she also has to give Qiao Hong some and let Qiao Hong keep it as a dowry.

Zhou was very happy, and the money in his hand was also a lot more relaxed, and the only thing that made her dissatisfied was the eldest daughter-in-law Yuhua.

Dazhong and Yuhua because of the cold weather, rarely go to the meeting, if you don't go to the meeting, there will be no income, Dazhong is okay, usually nothing to help the family, but also go to the second middle school to work, but Yuhua is not, she eats and sleeps every day, sleeps and eats, does not pay a penny, and mutters all day long, saying that Zhou's is eccentric, and takes the silver to open a shop for the second family but does not care about them.

Zhou's family is very angry, the second family opened a shop with the silver she earned herself, and Qiaozhen added some, and now she is red when she sees people making money, and she doesn't think about whether she and plum blossoms can compare.

It is said that Yuhua also makes a lot of money by eating two things, she didn't give much to her mother-in-law, but gave a lot to her mother's family, and she saved the rest by herself, and now she wants to deduct money from Zhou's hands, how can Zhou's be willing, so Yuhua has a black face every day, and everyone doesn't care about her, fortunately, she doesn't live here, and she doesn't bother to worry about her.

Qiaozhen was helping in the store that day, and suddenly felt that her body was not very comfortable, she knew that it might be her own few days of the month, she said to everyone, go back to rest.

When she walked to the door of the house, Qiao Zhen found that there was a carriage parked in front of her house, she took a closer look, the carriage belonged to Chen Xuanyu, because she recognized his carriage.

How did he get here? didn't call anyone to call him back, Wang Tao was at home by himself, and no one entertained them. He also sat down, Qiao Zhen smiled and walked into the courtyard.

She went into the main house to take a look, but found no one, and in the main house, Wang Tao was squatting on the ground, drawing words with branches in the frame of sand.

"Tao'er, is anyone coming?" Qiao Zhen asked, she didn't know if Chen Xuanyu was here.

"Aunt, it's Chen Gongzi who is here, I said to call you back, but he didn't let him, said that he wouldn't leave for a while, and he was talking about it when you came back by yourself. He went to the backyard. Don't let me follow. Wang Tao looked at Qiaozhen and smiled, he liked his current life very much, he didn't have to be beaten, scolded, he ate well, he wore warmly, Chengzi and the third uncle also taught him to endorse and read, he was very satisfied.

"Oh, he went to the backyard, it's cold, what is he doing in the backyard? Who's coming? Qiaozhen was not in a hurry, and asked in detail.

"Childe brought a woman, I haven't seen it, and Uncle Xiaowu, they are all in the backyard." Wang Tao and Qiao Zhen said it clearly.

Qiao Zhenyi frowned, female? How could Chen Xuanyu bring a woman to his house, and what is the relationship between her and Chen Xuanyu.

"You draw it. Auntie went to take a look. Qiaozhen touched Wang Tao, and then walked lightly to the backyard.

Her steps were very light, she usually walked not heavy, and as soon as she reached the corner of the wall, Qiao Zhen was stunned for a moment, because she heard the voice.

"Young master, you really can't do this. If you lose face with your wife, what will happen to her? Think again. A woman's voice came, not young.

Qiaozhen stopped, what's going on? Who is this woman?

"Don't say it. Mom, don't talk about it. Chen Xuanyu interrupted her with a loud voice, not wanting to hear her continue.

"Young master, you are scolding, and the old slave has to say, you are not worth it for a woman like this, you are lonely now, if you turn your face with your wife now, you will be in danger, your life will be difficult, it is better for you to respond first, and then make plans later." Is that okay? The person who was called Mom persuaded.

Is this because of yourself? But what's in their way! She and Chen Xuanyu didn't have anything to do, why did they say it so seriously, and they ran to their backyard to say it, probably knowing that they wouldn't come back so early, so they didn't shy away from talking about it.

Qiaozhen didn't know about Chen Xuanyu feeding himself medicine with his mouth, and he didn't know that Zhou had acquiesced to their affairs, because Zhou didn't tell her.

"Mom, you are my nurse, I really respect you. But I really can't listen to you this time.

My mother has gone too far, it's not for my good, it's for me. I can't let people down, and I can't deal with this family business, as for the family that my father said, as long as I am sincere enough, the other party will not embarrass me, and my father will not blame me, and will let me choose it myself. Mom, don't say any more. (To be continued......)
