The days flew by, and after the Dragon Boat Festival, it was the seventeenth day in a blink of an eye.

May 17 is Lee's birthday.

People who are older generally don't love their birthdays.

Li is in his fifties, young and not there, and it seems that he can't talk about being old.

Villagers celebrate the birthday of the elderly, which is generally more subtle. If the family conditions are good, they will set up a banquet, invite relatives and friends, and the whole village will come over for a meal, which will be lively and lively. If you live a whole life, the momentum will be even greater.

If the family conditions are average, just cook a longevity noodle at home, and the juniors will be happy in front of them, and they will do their filial piety.

Li's birthday is not a full birthday, and the Du family has always been low-key, so it didn't make a big deal.

Early in the morning, Liu got up.

She went to the kitchenette to boil water and prepared to boil red eggs and longevity noodles. The red eggs were coated last night, but the longevity noodles had to be made in the morning.

Du Yuniang also got up early, and she was going to make Li's bowl of longevity noodles by herself.

"Are you really up?" Liu smiled slightly surprised, "But seriously, Yu Niang, if you have always been as sensible as you are now, your mother will rest assured." ”

Du Yuniang hummed softly, "I've grown up!" When she said this, she was a little apprehensive, she lived to be almost thirty years old in her previous life, and it was actually quite awkward to pretend to be a little girl at this time.

Liu smiled and said, "Yes, yes, you have grown up." She said as she prepared to scoop out some flour so that she could mix the noodles and make noodles.

"Mother, I'll do this today!"

Liu Shi was stunned for a moment, and she suddenly remembered that the fried noodles made by her daughter last time came, "Okay, you can do it!" ”

Du Yuniang is very happy and is a joy to be trusted.

Du Yuniang plans to make noodles.

Dough rolling is a more complex technique to operate, it will not be difficult, it will not be difficult, but it is a skill that requires diligent study and hard practice to master. It's not easy to make noodles delicious and tough.

When Du Yuniang made noodles, she put some salt and alkaline noodles in the flour, and then she added water little by little, and then stirred the flour into a flocculent.

The temperature of the water is the key, and when it is added to the flour, it must be even, and if you add too much, it will affect the texture of the dough, which will affect the taste of the noodles.

Mix the flocculent gnocchi into a dough and knead repeatedly.

Kneading dough is also skillful, and the seemingly disorganized dough and kneading dough are actually regular. The whole process takes about two quarters of an hour, and the surface of the kneaded dough is smooth, and there is no flour on the basin or hands, which is considered qualified.

After the dough is kneaded, it should be placed in a basin and covered with a curtain for about two quarters of an hour. The dough swells slightly, making the dough softer.

Beat the dough into strips, put it on the tabletop and knead it repeatedly with both palms to form strips.

Du Yuniang's movements were fast, and Liu only felt dazzled. The noodles that had been kneaded into strips were in her hands, as if they already had spirituality.

Du Yuniang kept beating the dough in her hand, twisting the noodles into a twist shape, and then stretching them open, constantly expanding its malleability. She shook the noodles in the air repeatedly, as if she were flowing water; Her movements are fast and short, and although her arms are slender, they are very powerful when she hits the dough. The two arms kept shaking and crossing, and the ductility of the blank became better and better.

Stretch to form a dough blank, double dough blank after repeated folding and pulling, seven folds called large ramen, and twelve folds can stretch out the dragon whisker noodles. Although it is an exaggeration to say that the noodles are like hair, a real ramen master can fold the dough by more than 20 folds.

Du Yuniang once saw her master's ramen with her own eyes, the movements are beautiful, and the noodles pulled out are like hair, which is simply a work of art.

Du Yuniang put some flour on the board, rolled the pulled dough on the flour a few times, held down the two ends with both hands, and then energized the dough.

After the strength is full, she holds the two ends of the dough blank and stretches it slightly, shakes the dough blank, hands both heads into her left hand, grabs the middle part with her right hand, gently takes it, and turns it over to the right outside, and stretches the dough long in the shaking. Continue to pull the face in your hand, fold it in half, stretch it, fold it in half again, and stretch it again. Remove the dough that can't be pulled at both ends, and then continue to fold and stretch, slowly the noodles become thinner and thinner, until the thickness of the noodles reaches Du Yuniang's requirements, she stopped stretching the noodles, but held the middle part of the noodles and shook them gently.

Liu was dumbfounded, this unique skill of stretching out noodles is even more powerful than the masters in those noodle restaurants in the town!

"Jade Niang, you, you ......"

Du Yuniang smiled, feeling that her small body seemed to be a little unbearable. In her previous life, when she started to learn cooking, she was in her twenties, and she is only thirteen years old now, and it is really difficult to do such physical work.

She panted and said, "Mother, I'm going to be tired to death, do you dare to take a closer look at the chicken soup?" ”

The soup stock for the longevity noodles was made last night, and the broth stewed with pork bone sticks and whole chicken has been simmering on the stove for a night.

Liu Shi shook his senses, and hurriedly went to the stove to lift the lid of the pot and take a look.

The aroma is tangy and steaming.

"Alright, alright."

Du Yuniang saw that the time was almost up, so hurry down.

"Mother, look at the noodles, I'll rest." She wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, and sat aside to watch the fire with her bumaza.

Liu couldn't hold back, but still asked.

"Yu Niang, in the end, who did you learn this craft from?"

The first time Yu Niang touched the kitchen knife, she cut it so well! I've never taught her how to cook or make pastries, but she seems to have learned it at a glance.

And the dishes she makes, obviously they are made with similar materials, and if they do, they are many times stronger than her in terms of taste and color.

And the dim sum thing, the dim sum method is really complicated, is it really something that can be made by thinking about it?

And this side of the ......

Liu also came from when she was a little girl, and when she was a girl, she had to learn to cook and help the family. Who hasn't cut his fingers twice and fried two dishes when he first learned to cook!

Let's take her as an example, they are all married, and they still don't know how to make sauce, and later they learned the craft of making sauce by themselves at their in-laws' house!

Du Yuniang knew that she wouldn't be able to hide this sooner or later. She looked down for a moment, then got up and walked to the small kitchen door to look outside.

Du Xiaozhi was feeding chickens and ducks in the yard, and Du Xiaoye seemed to be washing clothes.

Du Yuniang turned back, walked to Liu's side, and whispered: "Mother, I told you, you are not allowed to tell others again." ”

So mysterious?
