Chapter 15: Ramen

No matter how uncomfortable it was, in the end, the scalper was still put up for dinner, and the old man didn't say anything to make the scalper think, but he seriously discussed the matter of moving with Erniang.

It's not that the old man has opened the door, but Ma San's matter has indeed come to an end, and what the old man says about his maternal uncle is also to be listened to.

At night, after the family rested peacefully, I heard the old man in the middle of the room lowered his voice: "Mother-in-law, I want to come to my mother and uncle is right, I am not afraid of 10,000 in case, if this good man in the yellow flower swing really wants to avenge this Ma San, sooner or later I still have to find Zhang Wu's head, it is difficult to guarantee that Zhang Wu will not bite out of our house, so the west of the city has become a dangerous place." ”

Yao Erniang also said: "What I said is exactly, if you don't know how to go for a walk in the next few days, you can move over quietly when you find it in the next few days." ”

The old man said: "Done! But remember to tell my mother and uncle that I only recognize the house, and the face of the old Huang family can't be lost! ”

Yao Erniang chirped: "Phew! It's a stubborn mule! ”

The scalper was lying on the bed, and naturally heard the discussion between the old man and his mother, and thought that he really had no intention of inserting willows!

Early the next morning, the ox got up early in the morning when he heard the sound of his general's chirping, still carrying water, burning the fire, boiling the bad, and feeding the mules, and then at the call of the old hen he touched a hot egg, and then played a trip to the eyebrow stick, and then went to the stove room to prepare a hot breakfast.

I didn't know that when I opened the crockpot and found that there was no leftovers in it, I remembered that I was uncomfortable last night, and my mother made noodles and naturally there would be no leftovers. Thinking of noodles again, the scalper remembered that he had cut a lot of water sheds yesterday, and when he saw that he was still by the stove, he simply went to the house to take a piece of bacon, washed it with plant ash and cut it into small pieces and put it in the pot, went to the side of the mule shed and dug up a piece of ginger and two garlic seedlings, and then made a fire and burned the water shed while cooking the meat.

Yesterday when I saw it when I cut artemisia knotweed, it reminded the scalper of the knowledge he learned in a dream, as if he could use the gray water to make a kind of pasta called ramen, so I thought that since I tried to make filtered salt and preserved eggs yesterday, I might as well try this ramen today.

After a while, the water in the pot was boiled, and the grass was burned to ashes, and the cattle hurriedly scooped off the foam in the pot, and put ginger and garlic to add enough water, and put the ash of the grass in the basin and added water to tann, and after filtration, a solution different from the ash water of Artemisia knotweed was obtained, and then mixed with a little salt water.

So the ox took a litre of flour, and moved the square table in the hall to the stove, and made noodles on the square table.

However, although the scalper can make some food, but the food seen in the dream is not easy to follow the cat and the tiger, and the noodles are either dry and water, or more water is added to the noodles, and soon a liter of flour is not enough, so I have to bite the bullet and take it again, but when I came out, I was shocked by Fushou.

The brothers and sisters of the Bi family are young after all, so there is no need to call up to sparring, Fushou was startled and went out to take a look, only to find that the sky was only exposed to the rising sun, it was indeed very early, so he followed the scalper into the stove room, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Young master, are you eating noodles this morning?" I'm afraid it's too much, and last night Mrs. only had half a liter to eat. ”

The scalper looked at the huge dough on the table, and couldn't cry or laugh, but it was not easy to spit out the truth to Fushou, so he said: "It's more, but I'm not afraid, I want to try the pasta method taught by the master to see if it works." ”

As he spoke, he mixed some dry noodles with the soft noodles, and kneaded them according to the way he dreamed, and after rubbing them back and forth a hundred and ten times to feel the moderate softness and hardness, he pinched a ball and kneaded it into strips, which opened and pulled. Who knew that the first time I opened it, I saw that although the noodles were easily opened, the body was full of openings, and they broke when they were folded and pulled.

Then the scalper was pulled off, broken, and it took half an hour to make it, and it didn't get the dough to four folds, but it was much better than the first one, and it was only broken when it was pulled to three folds.

"What is this doing?" Just when the scalper was sweating profusely, the father and mother who got up at some point entered the stove room, Yao Erniang looked at the dough on the table and the flour scalper with a surprised face, and shouted angrily from the heart: "If my mother doesn't kill you little beast, dare to do such a bad thing with good wheat noodles?" ”

The panicked scalper hurriedly explained: "Mother, don't worry, I'm making food, it's a secret method passed down by the master." ”

As soon as she heard that it was a secret method passed down by her master, Yao Erniang suddenly wilted, and she was taken aback by the secret method yesterday, and at this time, she naturally didn't dare to talk nonsense when she mentioned the secret method, so she could only ask: "What is the secret method?" ”

The scalper hurriedly kneaded the broken noodles in his hand into strips and said, "It's called ramen, and I've eaten what the master made, but I can't learn it, and I don't know what's wrong." ”

This time in front of my father, I didn't care how many broke, and I pulled the fifth fold hard, although the fifth fold was broken by more than half, but there was still a small half that was pulled into the thickness of chopsticks. When the scalper saw it, he simply didn't do it twice, and forced the sixth fold, but although all the noodles were broken this time, many of them were pulled into thin strips thinner than chopsticks.

The scalper said with a bitter face: "When my master makes it, he can pull this noodle into the thickness of a hair, and he can fold it in half, but he can't do it here." Last night, my mother made noodles for me, and I just want to learn to make a bowl for my mother. ”

If you want to make food, Yao Erniang's craftsmanship is naturally much higher than that of the scalper, and when she saw the noodles pulled by the scalper, she couldn't help but be curious, and picked up the thin noodles pulled out by six folds, and couldn't help but be curious: "It's weird!" This side can be thinned, but my son's secret method is in the recipe for making noodles? ”

"Hmm!" The scalper nodded, directly handed over the water ladle filled with the ash water, and said, "The main ingredient is this water, but I came according to the recipe, this side should be no problem." ”

Yao Erniang thought for a while, then reached out and pinched the remaining noodles and the dough on the table, and asked, "Is the method like you just now?" ”

"Whoa! Should be! The scalper scratched his head, but he got the flour from his hand on his head.

"Get up, mother, try it!" Yao Erniang pushed her son away with a clear understanding, wiped her hands with a hand towel, and directly kneaded the noodles pulled by the scalper into a ball and threw it aside, reached out and pinched a ball from the dough on the table.

Erniang thought about it, but she folded the noodles on, reached out and dipped some fluffy gray water on the noodles, and rubbed them twice to pull them away. After opening it this time, I could see that there were many fewer cracks on the noodles, and immediately Erniang folded it up and smeared it with gray water. After going back and forth like this a few times, the noodles became a lot more slippery, and the cracks were almost invisible after they were opened, and then Yao Erniang began to fold and pull, this time it was enough to pull to five folds before it began to break, six folds broke half, and seven folds were all broken, but the noodles pulled out by the seventh fold were already only one-third thin of chopsticks.
