Chapter 109: Making Somen Noodles

Xuan Ye looked at the cup of tea in front of her that was still steaming, raised her eyebrows and became interested all of a sudden, took the tea in her hand, put it to her mouth, and tasted it carefully.

"This tea smells very fragrant, drink it in the mouth, first bitter and then sweet, the aftertaste is endless, it is a good tea." After Xuan Ye drank it, his eyes gradually lit up, he was just holding the mentality of giving it a try, but he didn't expect that the tea fried by Xu Tiantian was indeed a good tea, and it tasted sweet and memorable, and he was full of praise for this tea after drinking.

Hearing Xuanye's high evaluation, the other two dared to be tight, each got a cup of tea, tasted it carefully, and found that the tea stir-fried by Xu Tiantian was indeed more fragrant than the tea he had drunk before, and the tea was full of flavor.

Li Xiaohui drank the tea in her hand, her face was a little intoxicated, she nodded, and made up her mind that she must learn the art of roasting tea in the future: "Drink it well, this is the best tea I have ever tasted." ”

"This tea ......" Shen Qi was very shocked after drinking it, as for the fact that he had drunk a lot of good tea with Xuan Ye, but he had never seen this kind of practice, and such tea, he thought that the tea made by this would not taste good, but he didn't expect it to be far better than the tea he had drunk before, and he was speechless immediately.

In the following days, Xu Tiantian and they all spent on the island.

Because I have been on the island for a long time, I don't have much to eat, after all, this is an isolated island, no one grows food, crops, and some are just some wild fruits, of course, these wild fruits can't be hungry, so I have to eat the same thing every day.

Staying on the island all day with nothing to do, it was very boring, and in desperation, Xu Tiantian ran to the boat and took down the playing cards.

Xu Tiantian held the playing cards in her hand and beckoned to a few people who were already about to be idle: "Come on, come on, it's boring to stay, it's better to play poker for a while to relieve boredom." ”

"Okay, I'm going to play." Li Xiaohui watched Xu Tiantian bring something interesting, and suddenly came to her senses, and the whole person was not lazy, so she hurriedly responded, for fear that she would forget her.

After Xuan Ye heard this, he had no opinion, after all, staying is also staying, it is better to play cards and pass the time: "Okay, I didn't have a good time last time, so I continued to play." ”

At that time, Shen Qi didn't want to play, but he didn't win a single time when he played last time, and he felt ashamed when he thought about it, so it was better to stay bored.

Thinking about it, Xu Tiantian and Xuan Ye are freaks, plus she played poker in modern times, from childhood to adulthood, she has been playing for a long time, and she is very proficient; And Xuanye is a very smart person, he can learn what he learns quickly, and it's strange if he doesn't lose playing with the two freaks.

However, Shen Qi thought that there was still Li Xiaohui, a little white, and felt that he should not be the one who lost the worst, so he also participated happily.

"Whew~ These two days are suitable for drinking rice porridge, and I am about to vomit after drinking." Li Xiaohui looked at the stinky cards in her hand, a little worried, and soon thought of drinking rice porridge every day these times, and she was about to vomit it when she drank it.

Listening to Li Xiaohui's words, Shen Qi played the cards in his hand, glanced at Li Xiaohui with his eyes, the corners of his mouth rose, and began to sarcastically mock her: "What? After a few days of eating, I began to get tired of eating. ”

"Hehe, what does it have to do with you, I didn't eat you, and I can't stop you when I play cards." Li Xiaohui was also a violent temper, and when she heard this, she raised her foot and kicked it over, threatening Shen Qi with her eyes at the same time.

After Shen Qi saw this look, he honestly shut up, of course, he was definitely not really afraid of Li Xiaohui, the main thing was that her pestering kung fu was really flattering, and she was already a good praise for her.

Xu Tiantian was playing cards on the side, watching the interaction between the two, she was overjoyed, Xu Tiantian also saw that Shen Qi was only Li Xiaohui, a tigress, who could be lowered.

"Since I'm tired of eating, I won't eat it today, and I suddenly thought of another kind of food, which is quite convenient to make and easy to store." Turning his head, he suddenly thought of what Li Xiaohui had just said, not saying that she was actually a little tired of eating, and suddenly thought of eating instant noodles and dried noodles every day before I crossed over, which I could eat myself, and I can eat it now.

After Li Xiaohui heard this, her mind became active all of a sudden, and she hurriedly put the cards in her hand, ran to Xu Tiantian's side, put her on Xu Tiantian's shoulder, and asked her, "What?" I don't know why, every time I hear you say this, I think it must be delicious food, but you never say anything that is not delicious. ”

"It's good, it's a bit troublesome to do, but it's a lot more convenient when you eat, and you have to make more when you do it, and when you eat it, you can pick it up and cook it and eat it." Xu Tiantian was so abrasive by her that she couldn't do anything, and hurriedly nodded in response.

After Xuan Ye heard this, he immediately thought of the military camp, if Xu Tiantian used this thing in the military camp, then when there was a war, he would not have to be so nervous to transport the food over.

"What is it? Sounds pretty amazing. Xuan Ye asked Xu Tiantian quietly.

Shen Qi listened to Xu Tiantian's description, and he couldn't think of anything in his mind, so he looked at Xu Tiantian with some doubts: "Is there really such a thing?" Why haven't I heard of it before? ”

"Okay, seeing that you can't play anymore, then let's get started." Xu Tiantian watched the three of them stop playing cards, they all put down the cards in their hands, and asked one by one, and suddenly one head and two big, three people asked together, and they didn't know whose question to answer, so they just started making noodles.

The reason why I have been making dried noodles is also decided after careful consideration by Xu Tiantian, at the beginning I decided to make instant noodles, but the most important thing to make instant noodles is oil, and now there is little oil left with them, and fried instant noodles are not supported at all, and in addition to the most convenient instant noodles, there are only dried noodles left, which can be cooked thoroughly whether they are boiled in hot water or soaked, and they are much healthier than instant noodles.

Before Xuanye and them could answer, Li Xiaohui took the lead and returned to Xu Tiantian and stood beside her with an excited face: "Okay." ”

"You girl, why do you look more excited than I am?" Listening to this voice, Xu Tiantian turned her head to look at her, only to find that she was looking at herself with interest at this time, so she shook her head helplessly.

Li Xiaohui did not hide the excitement on her face, but said the words in her heart: "Of course I will be excited!" Now I can learn one more thing. ”

Xuan Ye turned his head to look at her after hearing this, but he didn't expect this Li Xiaohui to be a real person, and he said everything in his heart, which was much better than those who had been secretly holding back the bad.

Xu Tiantian took advantage of this effort to look at the grain they brought, and found that the grain had begun to have insects, but fortunately, there were not many of them, so he decided to make most of the grain into noodles so that it would be more convenient to store: "Then let's start, let's keep less grain, and make the rest into noodles, so that you won't worry about the grain going bad." ”

"Okay, you can decide for yourself." What Xu Tiantian said, under normal circumstances, Xuan Ye would agree with both hands, after all, she is an assertive person, and he will not easily do things that he is generally not sure of.

So Xu Tiantian led Xuanye, and they were ready to start making noodles.

And making somen noodles is not simple, there are many kinds, and the proportion of them must be clearly grasped.

Dried noodles are a kind of handmade noodles that are as thin as hair, white and tough, and durable, and resistant to cooking, some are round and thin, and there are also wide and flat, the main varieties are ordinary noodles, color noodles, handmade noodles, etc.; According to the varieties of auxiliary materials, there are egg noodles, tomato noodles, spinach noodles, carrot noodles, kelp noodles, lysine noodles and so on. At present, dried noodles have formed a pattern of common development of staple food, flavor, nutrition and health care. Somen noodles have always been one of the main noodle dishes loved by people because of their good taste, easy to eat and easy to store.

Xu Tiantian looked at it and found that there were about dozens of catties of grain in his hand, so he weighed it in his heart and decided to leave ten catties, and the rest was all made into noodles.

Once the noodles are ready, the preparation begins.

The first step is to make noodles, when Xu Tiantian was in his previous life, he couldn't do anything else, but his cooking skills were quite good, mainly because he usually had nothing else to do except go to sea, so he usually studied cooking, although he had never made noodles, but he had seen others do it, even if he didn't miss the gourd painting scoop, he could still make it.

I thought about it carefully in my mind, and I thought that when I was watching it from the sidelines in my previous life, the noodles used by the noodle maker were made the night before, so that the noodles would be very chewy.

When I think about it, I know that I won't be able to do it today, but it's not bad to mix the noodles out in advance.

So he commanded Xuanye and them, who were watching from the sidelines, and moved.

When mixing noodles, there is also a doorway, and when mixing noodles, you should also look at the temperature level, add a little water when the temperature is high, add a little less when the temperature is low, and add some salt before mixing noodles, which can make the noodles more gluten.

"I'll meet in a while, Xuan Ye will pour water for me, and I will stop when I say stop." Xu Tiantian rolled up her sleeves, stood in front of the wooden basin that had already placed the noodles, and looked at Xuan Ye who was standing not far away and ordered.

After hearing this, Xuan Ye did not refuse, and immediately walked to Xu Tiantian's side, and then scooped up some water and poured it into the flour.

When Xu Tiantian saw it, she put her hand in it and began to reconcile little by little.

Next, Xuan Ye also followed Xu Tiantian's instructions, poured water into the flour little by little, and soon, she kneaded the pot of flour into dough.

"Whew~ I didn't expect to knead so many noodles at one time, I'm quite tired." Xu Tiantian raised her arm and rubbed her forehead with her arm, while taking a deep breath.
