Chapter 9 The product is processed

The next day, Huang Lele and his mother rode their bicycles to the granary, now the rice noodle processing plant, very early. The two uncles had already gotten up and were fiddling with the machines, looking like they were inspecting, perhaps worried that they had been installed overnight yesterday, that something was missing, or that the screws were not tightened.

When he saw them coming, he said to his mother:

"Sister-in-law, we now have to wash and soak the rice for a certain time, and then put it into the machine to process, you can produce the product, the operation is simple, three people can produce: one person feeds, one self-cooked, the other person has to wear heat-proof gloves, catch the rice noodles in front, and then use this big scissors to cut them to the right length, and one person has to rub the rice noodles while they are hot, and hang the drying rod."

When my mother heard this, she got on her bicycle and went home to carry two bags of rice. Soak the rice in the bucket and wash the rice while saying, "

"Looks like it's enough to buy a few buckets back!"

Mom thought: Anyway, there is no work to be done in the field now, and my uncle alone is enough to deal with it. Let Lele go and invite her aunt and eldest cousin to watch together, or the two technicians will leave, she will have to invite someone. It's better to ask someone else to ask your sister to help.

The aunt has two daughters, two boys and four children, and the two cousins have inherited the personality of the uncle, and one cousin and one cousin have inherited the intelligence and cleverness of the aunt's family.

The eldest cousin is one year older than the third sister, she graduated from primary school in the village, and because of her poor study, she was not admitted to junior high school, so she worked at home with her aunt. The personalities of the eldest cousin and the second cousin are the same as those of the uncle: wooden and silent, but they are both hardworking!

And the eldest cousin, although half a year older than the elder brother. In his previous life, my brother started to study in the first grade when he was more than eight years old, so he went to school in the same year as his cousin. Now my brother is almost nine years old and is already in the third grade, and my eldest cousin is only in the first grade of elementary school. If you calculate the age carefully, my brother's birthday is in October, so when he goes to elementary school, he is actually a month away from turning six years old!

The little cousin is eight months younger than Lele, and now he is only more than four years old, and his grandmother is taking him with him.

Mom and two uncles were cleaning the machine, after all, it was the food that was eaten. The aunt went home and took her bucket to the river to fetch water, and came back to fill the tank for later use. Lele and her cousin cleaned the floor outside the house. Then went to cook a pot of porridge. Then take out a bowl of sauerkraut from the sour jar, sprinkle with salt, chop the green pepper and garlic and put it in the sour bowl and mix well. Wait until you have a little taste, and you can use it to send porridge to eat! In rural areas, almost every household will have one or two sour jars......

After my aunt finished picking up the water, she moved out the wooden shelves and set them up, so that when the rice noodles came out, they could be dried directly to prepare......

It was almost noon, and everyone washed their hands and drank porridge. Seeing that everything is almost ready, it's just waiting for everyone to process!

Everything was ready, and Uncle Lin said that he could take about two catties of soaked rice and go through the machine first, and thoroughly clean up the unclean items stuck to the machine. Rice noodles that have passed through the machine are not edible, so if you feel that it is a pity, you can use them to feed livestock.

The rice passed through the machine, cooked itself in the machine, and then slowly spit out the knotted rice noodles through the circular strainer, and the Uncle Zheng in front was already wearing gloves and preparing to catch them, and then cut them, and then gently rubbed the knotted rice noodles on top of a clean cloth. Before he could break up the first handful of rice noodles, the second handful of rice noodles had already been cut! By the time he hurriedly picked up the drying rod that had been put aside, hung up the rice noodles, and then took them to the wooden rack on the floor outside to dry, there were already several portions of rice noodles waiting for him to rub and sprinkle......

According to what they just did, it would take four people to keep up with the speed of the machine! What kind of technicians are those! These divisions of labor are not clear. It is really unreliable to only understand the theory!

Speaking of the division of labor, among the four people: the person who cuts and the person who adds the ingredients are relatively idle, and the busiest person is the person who rubs the rice noodles and the person who takes it out to dry.

Everyone was busy in an orderly manner, so Lele took a stool and sat at the door......

Halfway through, the machine suddenly got stuck, and the rice noodles were gone, and everyone looked at Uncle Zheng and Uncle Lin. The two of them also looked dazed and idiots.

Lele remembers that there were occasional such things in his previous life, because the machine overheated, causing the rice to soften and stick to it, so it got stuck. In the past, my mother smeared a little tea oil or peanut oil on the filter and movement, and the machine could continue to run.

See everyone, you look at me, I look at you. It's just that no one has an idea, so Lele had to take his mother's hand and say:

"Mom, the machine is probably stuck with rice noodles, so it's not powdered, right? Why don't we try to smear the machine with some peanut oil? ”

"How does Lele know that it's sticky?"

"Some time ago, Lele saw Da Chun's younger brother eating steamed rice cakes, and the rice cakes stuck to his mouth!"

"Well, then let's follow Lele's method first, first disassemble the filter to see, if it is really sticky, put some peanut oil."

Uncle Lin and Uncle Zheng were familiar with this, and the two of them removed the things in three or two, and the inside was really stuck with rice noodles and blocked the exit, after they cleaned it up.

My mother brought clean gauze and dipped it in peanut oil, smeared it on the movement and filter, and the two uncles put it back on again.

The machine was up and running again......

The moment the machine was disassembled and assembled, a business opportunity flashed in my mother's mind:

"I said, if you don't install this filter cartridge that is as fine as a round powder, won't it be the size of the powder that ordinary people make by hand?"

"It's a bit like, and you don't have to grind rice so hard to make it directly!"

"Well, during the festival like this, you can help people process powder by the way, and it's okay to charge processing fees and electricity fees, right?"

"That's right! If you don't have money, you continue to exchange it for rice. It also saves us from not having so much rice to process rice noodles. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The four adults chatted like this, and at the same time they were busy with the work in their hands, and the two buckets of soaked rice were used up in such a relaxed atmosphere. Now my mother has soaked two more buckets, saying that everyone will go back early to rest and process it again in the evening. I also borrowed two buckets from my aunt's house to carry water, so my mother planned to buy an extra big water tank and a few buckets to come back, otherwise it would not be enough.

When the four of them walked out of the house, they saw rows of off-white rice noodles hanging on the wooden shelves outside, and everyone was very happy and fulfilled.

It's human, and curiosity is indispensable!

No, the rice noodles just hung out, and the people passing by ran over curiously and asked Huang Lele, who was wearing a big straw hat and guarding the rice noodles outside:

"Lele, this is your rice noodles?"

"Yes! These rice noodles are delicious when cooked! ”

"How do you know it's delicious?"

For the sake of publicity, plus this rice noodle is also cooked, it can be eaten directly. Actually, when it first came out of the machine, it was hot, it was really delicious, very tough and chewy, and several of them had tried it.

"Give one to you to eat and try it, don't you know?"

Although Lele said so, they had never seen this kind of round rice noodles, and they had seen their own home-ground and steamed handmade noodles, so they still didn't dare to try it. She simply took a stick of rice noodles and ate it for them. Only then did someone take the rice noodles and put them in their mouths.

Everyone chewed the rice noodles that were still warm, and looked at their expressions, and they still enjoyed it.

It seems that there has been a certain amount of sales in this village recently. Coupled with the nearby villages, the supply is still in short supply for the time being. And they don't have to worry about not having rice, they basically don't have any cash in their hands, and they have to buy a lot of things to sell rice for money, or directly exchange rice for shopping.

"Lele, this rice noodle is very chewy, but I don't know how to cook it when I go home?"

"This is very simple, the rice noodles are not dry yet, if you want to boil, put it in boiling water and boil it softly, scoop it up and put it in a bowl. Of course, if it is sun-dried rice noodles, it is best to soak them in water to soften them first, and then put them in boiling water to boil, which is easier to cook. Then take the tomatoes, peppers, garlic, and ginger and cut them well, then boil the oil in the pot, stir-fry the ginger and garlic twice, put the peppers and tomatoes into it to fry the fragrance, add salt, and then put a scoop of water into it, boil the soup, the salt in the soup should be enough, and then put the soup into the rice noodle bowl, if the salt is not enough, you can also add a little. Of course, if you have meat, it will be better to cook the broth. It's okay to put eggs. There are many ways to eat, you can fry it, you can dry it......"

"Lele, then, this, is this rice noodle sold now?"

"It's not for sale yet, and I don't know when I'll sell it until my mom finishes making the rice noodles inside."

"Then I'll just wait here. Ask your mother later, if I sell it, I will buy it and cook it for my son and daughter. It was Uncle Pan of the second team who spoke, and after speaking, he found an open space and sat down.

This Uncle Pan, Lele knows each other. Usually very hardworking, compared to the average rural person, his brain is relatively flexible, and he also has a small business in the village. There is a son and a daughter in the family, and the small life is a relatively wealthy family in the village.

The villagers who probably wanted to buy it in the back probably didn't have much to do at home, so they simply followed to find a piece of land to sit down and chat......

Mom, when they finished making rice noodles and came out of the machine after cleaning up, they were surprised to see many people sitting on the floor chatting.

Huang Lele hurriedly ran over and shouted:

"Mom, those people want to buy rice noodles and eat them at home!"

Mom squatted down and whispered in Lele's ear:

"Rice noodles have just come out of the machine, can they be sold? Besides, I haven't figured out how to sell it yet. ”

"Of course you can sell it, we have dried the water, and they just need to put it in the water and scald it when they buy it, and then they can scoop it up and put it on the food to eat!"

"Then we have to see how much rice is used today, how many catties of wet rice noodles are there, take two poles of rice noodles to weigh, count how many poles, and then we can get the approximate number of pounds of rice noodles."

"That's right, let's remove the cost, electricity bills, and rent fees, which are about two cents and a half cents to three cents a pound. Let's set three cents a pound! ”

While Huang Lele was whispering to her mother, some villagers had already begun to stand up and came over to ask her mother:

"The eldest daughter-in-law of the Huang family, how do you sell this rice noodle?"

"If you want to buy it with money, it's three cents a pound; If you exchange rice, two catties of rice and one catty of rice noodles. This is the price of wet rice noodles, if the rice noodles are dried, it is two catties of rice for eight taels of dry rice noodles. ”

"It's so expensive!" "That's it, why is it so expensive!" As soon as Mom finished speaking, someone was too expensive.

"The eldest daughter-in-law of the Huang family, weigh me five catties, and I'll go back and try to cook it according to what Lele girl said just now. I wanted to eat it when I heard this girl. "The first one to say that he bought it was Uncle Pan, who was the first to say that he was waiting for his mother to come out.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll go get the scale and weigh you."

Lele's mother brought a rod scale, grabbed the rice noodles from the rod from the relatively dry and first batch of rice noodles, and weighed five catties in the tray for Uncle Pan. Tie the rice noodles with hemp rope and take a piece of five gross tickets from Uncle Pan's hand.

When Uncle Pan was leaving, Lele suddenly thought that there were only four people in their family, and even if their whole family ate rice noodles tonight, they wouldn't be able to eat it all at once. Lele hurriedly shouted to him:

"Uncle Pan, if your family can't finish eating this rice noodle tonight, put it on a dustpan and dry it, otherwise it won't be so fresh when you eat it later!"

"Huh...... Okay! It's still thoughtful and thoughtful! I know. After Uncle Pan finished speaking at her, he went home happily.

With Uncle Pan's generosity, the villagers in the back saw it, so they bought it back for a pound and half a pound for me. When I bought something new and went back, I would definitely talk to everyone in the neighborhood, and the people who heard about it also came one by one and bought some to try it at home......
