said goodbye to Mrs. Zheng, and Li Xin left the county with everyone.

returned to the house in his town, and Li Xin told Wenbo and Wenhao everything in the town. Although the two children can't help much, they still need to know something about the family.

"We finally have a shop at home!" Wen Hao jumped up happily, and his reaction was very similar to Yueting.

"The eldest sister thought, when will the shop be able to open?" Wenbo asked.

"It should be relatively fast, and now that the chefs have been found, the next time is just to train the cooks well. You can just know these things, and you don't have to worry about anything. For you, it's right to study well now. Li Xin smiled and patted the two of them on the shoulder.

"Sister, when it opens, we can't go?" Wen Hao was suddenly a little frustrated. The academy is closed, and when their own shop opens, it may not be their time to rest. Moreover, the opening of the shop is more important, and it cannot be opened when they have a break because they want to participate.

My own shop is open, but it's a big day! This is my first shop! However, I'm afraid I won't be able to go then.

"It's okay if you can't go when you open! When you rest in the future, you can go and play at any time. Li Xin rubbed Wen Hao's head.

"Yes! The eldest sister is right, it is our own shop, and we can go there at any time in the future. Wen Bo also smiled and coaxed Wen Hao.

"I know, but this is our family's first shop!" Wen Hao was still a little frustrated.

"What's in the first place! In the future, there will definitely be more and more shops in our house. But! Don't always think about the shop, these are just means to make a living, in the final analysis, it is the right way to study hard and take the imperial examination. Li Xin sighed. In this era, the status of scholars is relatively high. If you are a businessman, even if you have a lot of money, you will always have a low status and will always be looked down upon.

Although you don't want to think like that, it's just that this is the status quo today.

Therefore, if you open a shop at home, you can't use it as the main thing, you still have to buy more land. Therefore, it is better to buy more land to be a landlord, which is still in the category of agriculture, and it is much better than that of businessmen.

The good thing is that in this dynasty, the treatment of merchants is quite good, compared to other dynasties, it is already very good. At least, as long as the merchant's family is willing, the family can still take the imperial examination. Therefore, in order to improve their status, many merchant families will still let their children study, hoping to make a name for themselves.

"Sister, don't worry! We'll definitely be reading well. Wenbo said solemnly.

Because he is busy with opening a store, Li Xin may have to stay in the county for a long time. Therefore, early in the morning of the second day after returning to Sanshi Town, she went back to Osmanthus Village first. Since she is going to live in the county seat for a while, she will have to deal with the matter of vermicelli.

Although at this time, there may not be a lot of sweet potato flour that everyone makes zuò, but you can also teach everyone to make zuò noodles first. Now that the sweet potato flour has been made, the next steps are not complicated. I think she will teach it once or twice, and everyone will be able to. As for those who haven't learned, they will naturally learn with those who have learned well, so she shouldn't have to worry too much.

When she returned to Osmanthus Village, she didn't have time to go home, so she went to the village chief's house first. When she met the village chief, she said that she wanted to teach everyone how to make zuò noodles, and asked the village chief to do her best to notify people.

"Sister Xin, why are you in such a hurry? Is there something wrong? The village chief looked at Li Xin strangely. According to Sister Xin'er's temperament, if you want to teach everyone to make noodles, you should come to tell him in advance, and then ask him to inform everyone. Because of this, there may not be too many people notified for a while, and if some people are not prepared, they may go far away, or go somewhere to visit relatives.

"I bought a shop in the county and plan to open a shop, so I may have to live in the county for a while. For the time being, I can't come back to teach you how to make vermicelli, so I'll teach you how to make vermicelli first! Always make everyone wait, maybe many people are already waiting in a hurry. Li Xin said with a smile.

"In that case, Sister Xin, you should go home and rest first! I'm going to tell everyone first. ”

"Uncle doesn't have to be in such a hurry, making zuò vermicelli is also very fast, why don't you start again in the afternoon! I'll go back and get something ready. "I have already told the village chief about the matter, and Li Xin will go back to his house first.

When she got home, she looked at what she had been prepared earlier. There are two main things to prepare, the first is a bucket with many uniform holes, and the second is a stick that will be used to dry the vermicelli in the back. These things, Li Xin had previously instructed the two people in the family to help with the farming to get them out for her in their spare time.

It's not hard to make anything, you can make it with a little free time. In the case of barrels, in fact, ordinary wooden barrels are fine, and small holes of uniform size are drilled underneath, and these small holes also determine the thickness of the vermicelli. And those sticks, which can be bamboo sticks or wooden sticks, wooden sticks will be more troublesome to make, and bamboo sticks are simpler. Just find some thinner bamboo branches, almost a little thicker than your thumb. The bamboo stick itself is relatively rounded and does not require complicated processing.

Li Xin went back to take a look, and everything was ready. Originally, you don't need to prepare much, just one bucket, and a few sticks. After all, she is just demonstrating to everyone, and she is not going to use it at home.

Seeing that everything was ready, Li Xin didn't have anything to worry about, so he waited at home to go to the village chief's house in the afternoon.

"Miss, is that vermicelli delicious?" Back at home, Caiyun asked Li Xin curiously. This time, Li Xin came back and didn't bring anyone else, so he brought Caiyun and Caixia.

"It's delicious or not, you'll know when you've eaten it, so let me say it, and I can't tell it clearly! If I think it's delicious, but you don't think it's delicious, then what can I say! Li Xin smiled.

"When will I be able to eat it?"

"We should be able to eat it before we leave! Even if you can't eat it this time, you will have a chance in the future. ”

In the afternoon, Li Xin also went to the village chief's house. When she arrived, there were already a lot of people gathered in the village chief's house, but almost only people from Osmanthus Village, and very few people from other villages came. After all, time is tight, and it is impossible to notify everywhere at a time. However, there are not a few people, and if these people learn it, they will be able to spread such skills in the future.

Moreover, the village chief is indeed a very good person, not to mention whether other people will teach others everywhere. If the village chief asks for advice, he will definitely not hide anything.

"Sister Xin, you're here! Everything you want us to prepare, it's ready. Is it going to start now? Seeing Li Xin coming, the village chief asked.

Everything that should be prepared in the yard has been prepared, a fire has been made, and water has been boiled in the cauldron on the stove, which is already boiling at this time. It seems that the village chief really started preparing early.

"Now that you're ready, let's get started!" Li Xin said. To make vermicelli, you first need to beat the paste. Stir two scoops of sweet potato flour with warm water, stir for a while and it will slowly cook. After that, I put more sweet potato flour in it to make it mushy.

In the process of kneading the dough, Li Xin didn't have enough strength, so he asked the strong men in the village to help.

When the noodles are ready, it's time to start leaking. You can try it before leaking to see if the dough is suitable, such as the leaked vermicelli is not thick, not fine, and continuous. If the strip is too fast, the phenomenon of broken strips occurs, indicating that the slurry is too thin, and it should be mixed with dry starch and then kneaded to make the dough toughness moderate; If the next strip is difficult or too slow, the thickness is uneven, and the surface powder slurry is too dry, some wet starch should be added. It is advisable to adjust the powder before the filament leakage at one time...... The temperature of the dough is better at 30~42 degrees Celsius.

When leaking filaments, the paste should be stirred well, and warm water should be added while mixing, and the water temperature should be 50 °C. When the starch ball is out of your hand, grab a ball (hand), and a little will hang down naturally, if it keeps falling, you can leak the filament. When draining the wire, prepare a pot of boiling water, and only leak the wire when the water in the pot boils. When the bottom of the silk sink to the bottom of the pot and then surface, it can be out of the pot, after a cold water tank to cool down, use the hand to form a bundle and wear it to the wooden stick, after another cold water tank to cool down, continue to swing until the vermicelli is loose. Then put it indoors, and take it out to dry the silk outdoors after it has cooled through.

At this time, the vermicelli is also made, and then the process of drying the silk, the vermicelli is taken to the leeward and sunny place, and the packaging is the finished product after drying.

On the one hand, the village chief's house has already set up a shelf, and the noodles can be hung up directly to dry. Li Xin made a few rods, and then asked the village chief to give it a try. Later, several people in the village tried it, and this was not difficult. Let's give it a try, and the memory will be more profound, so that you can learn it as quickly as possible.

After that, Li Xin mainly taught everyone how to make zuò dough. Because of the quality of the vermicelli, this is a very critical step. The temperature is not easy to grasp, like more than 30 to 40 degrees, and she just touches it by feeling, which is almost the temperature of the human body. There's no thermometer, it's just a matter of feel, but fortunately, I've touched it more times, and it's not difficult.

Moreover, it is not necessary to be so prepared, it is almost appropriate, and it is impossible to be so strict.

Seeing that there were more and more noodles hanging in the yard, Li Xin was also very happy. This is the first time I have made zuò vermicelli since I came here! It's been a long time since I've eaten vermicelli, but I really miss the taste a little. I just don't know when these noodles will be dried, and I hope to eat them as much as possible. R1152
