Cooking noodles is a difficult thing for me, because cooking noodles is indispensable in my usual cooking, and it saves time and effort to make. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoI'm from the north, I learned to cook when I was a kid, and the first lesson I took was to cook noodles.

But now, with the development of technology, even the process of mixing noodles and rolling noodles has been perfectly replaced by machines.

Today's home kitchen machines can even produce a glove film in a few minutes after stirring the dough, which is equivalent to kneading it by hand for dozens of minutes, while the noodle maker can easily turn the egg dough into fresh noodles with full strength and uniform thickness.

Human wisdom is so wonderful, although its own strength is small, its ability is limited, but where there is a need, there will be development, human beings will use tools to break the limits of their own ability, so that the possibilities become endless.

Cooking the noodles is as simple as boiling water, putting the noodles in it, and waiting for them to cook. However, this simple step is also cooked deliciously by some people, and some people are boiled into a pot of paste. Simple things often contain a lot of rules, and if you violate them, you won't get the best results.

Take cooking noodles as an example, the water temperature, heat, and cooking time are all basic, and in addition, there are really a lot of tricks.

For example, instead of waiting for the water to boil, put the noodles in when the water is not boiling and a string of pearl-like bubbles is rising, cover the pot, and add some cold water when the water is boiling. The noodles cooked in this way are quick to cook and not sticky, delicious and beautiful.

For example, if you make your own hand-cut noodles, you can add a little vinegar when cooking them to neutralize the alkaline flavor and make the noodles look whiter.

For example, adding a little salt when cooking noodles can prevent the noodles from rotting, and adding a little oil to prevent them from overflowing. The noodles do not have to be boiled in boiling water until they are rotten, they can be boiled until the hard heart is broken, and after they are removed, the residual heat in the noodles will still make it further cooked. If you put the hot noodles directly into cold water to cool, it can make the noodles more smooth and elastic, and it is suitable for adding seasonings to make various cold noodles.

Right now, I'm making shredded chicken noodles. On a day like the summer solstice, when the weather is hot, a bowl of cold noodles is refreshing and appetizing, which can prevent loss of appetite in the bitter summer.

This is probably one of the reasons why people like to eat noodles on the summer solstice, right?

Cold noodles with shredded chicken look simple, but they are quite complicated to make, and they are one of the more complex types of noodles, because the same dish needs to be finely shredded and processed separately, and the preparation of the sauce is also very painstaking.

So I had a lot of time to spend in a daze while chopping through the vegetables.

The simplest things are actually not simple, just like the simplest people who seem to have complex hearts. I remembered Acacia and Coral, and since then, there has been no news of them. Have they reconciled? Did Hehuan forgive her? In the future, where will they go together, or separately?

It suddenly occurred to me that human beings could never become pure light. As a human being, I am well aware of all my flaws and inferiorities, and even if I am constantly trying to get better, those traits such as jealousy, cowardice, indecision, etc., will always come out and cause trouble from time to time. Even a pure girl like Hehuan has countless shortcomings, which cannot be avoided at all.

Therefore, my hope to eliminate the dark side of humanity and turn humanity into a bright existence is an unsolvable proposition, and I can only force myself into a dead end of self-disgust.

Human beings are originally a kind of beings who are burdened with original sin and still strive to move forward. Even if this original sin will lead to bad things, it can only be borne and overcome by us as a race, and we believe that it can be persevered and survived.

"Something, so sour, it smells bad!"

The sudden sound scared me into a trembling heart, and I realized that because my mind was so distracted, I added too much vinegar to the bowl of the sauce, and the sour taste was overflowing.

It's actually Lixia. He crouched on the windowsill next to him, frowning and covering his nose with a look of disgust.

The rising sun enveloped him in a yellowish light, softening the lines of the fellow who always jumped in rudely through the window.

My heart tightened suddenly, and then I relaxed.

He looked like he was as usual, so my words unconsciously became as usual, as if he had never left.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I accidentally poured too much vinegar!" I laughed unconsciously.

Lixia didn't speak again, but he didn't jump off the ledge either. He crouched silently on the windowsill and watched as I laid out shredded chicken and various dishes on the cooled noodles and drizzled with the remixed sauce.

"Hey!"

When I was almost done, Rixia suddenly called me, and I looked up at him.

But he turned his head awkwardly away from me.

"After humans die, ghosts exist, we just don't know what it's like over there. Someday, we're all going to go there, and it's not your human fabrication. ”

Why...... What do you want to say to me?

I was taken aback, but after thinking about it, I felt that there was only one explanation.

That day, I used to write down my feelings on a note left for him. Originally, I thought that maybe that sad empathy could bring him a little comfort, but then I thought about it, Lixia is not a human being, how can I use human emotions to speculate on him?

It just so happened that the words were written in pencil, so I erased them with an eraser. Could it be that even after wiping it clean, he still saw it?

Nothing is impossible, he's a big demon!

So, is this phrase spoken to me now, to comfort me?

Looking at his awkward expression, a trace of warmth suddenly welled up in my heart. He also looked calm, he should have ...... It's all right.

"Hmm......" I nodded, my eyes slightly moist, "Come down, help bring the bowl over!" ”

"What is this?" Lixia, who jumped down, curiously picked up a pair of red and black wooden chopsticks with flowers printed on the table.

"Don't move!" I hurriedly snatched the chopsticks from his hand, "This is for Sister Liqing." ”

This is the chopsticks I bought for Liqing yesterday.

It was an idea that occurred to me two days ago. If you have to find a way to get something that Liqing has touched every solar term, then why not the daily teacups, dishes and chopsticks?

On the day of the beginning of spring, I just inadvertently brought back a wine glass, didn't I?

As long as I can make the food she likes to eat and is suitable for this season, wouldn't I have been able to get what I needed, and I didn't even need permission.

Because the job of washing dishes was mine, wasn't it?

However, since I wanted to keep something, I still felt that I couldn't use the usual ones, so I went out of my way to buy a pair of beautiful chopsticks, hoping that no one would notice anything wrong!

If it can be successful, it seems to be much easier in the future.

I was secretly excited, but I saw someone poking his head through the kitchen door and calling my name in a very ambiguous tone: "Shining, Shining!" ”

When I saw it, it was actually Lichun.

"Shining, someone is looking for it outside, it's a little girl!"

Lichun smiled like a flower, but his beautiful face looked a little weird at the moment.

"Looking for me?" I wondered, who would come to me so early? Or a little girl?

I took off my apron and walked out the door, and in the warm sunlight, there was really a silhouette of a girl at the door.

I rubbed my eyes and looked closely, and it was actually acacia.

Still dressed in a plain white dress, she held a small square box wrapped in floral cloth to her chest, and walked up and down the door uneasily.

When she saw me, she let out a soft "ah", as if she wanted to call my name, but she was suddenly embarrassed, so her voice changed to an "ah" and choked in her throat.

Her face suddenly turned red, and I suddenly became cramped.

"You...... How did you get here? "I was embarrassed for a few seconds, but I broke the silence first.

"Today...... Today is the summer solstice," the girl said in a mosquito-like voice with a red face and a bowed head, "Our hometown makes summer solstice cakes, which may not be to the taste, but I still want to give you some to taste." Please ...... Take it! Thank you ......"

As a result, she couldn't speak clearly, and finally, she suddenly shoved the small package into my hand, turned around and ran away quickly.

To say thank you? I looked down at the finely wrapped box in my hand, shook my head and smiled.

What is the summer solstice cake, I really haven't eaten it!

It seemed that there had been a bird chirping crisply, and I covered the sun with my hand and looked up at the sky, but there was no sign of the bird.

It's a nice day. (To be continued.) )
