161 Pork stewed vermicelli
After more than half a month, Li Ming's cultivation is getting better and better day by day, and Zhu can't sit still, urging Li Qingsong to call him back to the store, so as not to ask others to replace the position, and the owner doesn't want him in the future.
Qingsong is not without this concern in his heart, but for the sake of Li Mingjiang, he has never said anything, serving his father and mother every day, and he looks like he is no longer a child, and he is several years older than before.
Most parents, except for a few who are mindful, expect their children to live well. Zhu's eccentricity towards Qingsong, and Li Mingjiang also felt sorry for him, so he persuaded him: "I'm almost well, you go back to the store to do work." ”
Qingsong just shook his head: "The eldest sister and the third sister are all women, and there is still a man to serve them." ”
Wang Xiaofu said with a smile on the side: "I am not a man at home, the owner treats you kindly, you should also think about the owner, although there are many young men, everyone has their own work to do, and the lack of you is a gap, and I am afraid that the owner will be unhappy if the time is too long." ”
"Daddy"
"Your sisters and I are not enough to take care of my uncle, don't worry, the cooking will be done properly, no worse than when you were there. ”
Wang Xiaofu said that he moved Qingsong, and even the Zhu family looked up to him a little: "This person is really good at looking at people's eyes." ”
Li Mingjiang said: "Xiaofu, this kid is sensible, don't always look at him unpleasantly." ”
Two or three days later, Li Qingsong said goodbye to his family and returned to the store to sell the leave, not only the people in the store, but also Xue Niang and Yueniang came to ask him if his family was okay.
Originally, these days Lily has been preparing a dowry for Lamei, and some of the big families who pay attention to it have begun to save dowries since the birth of their daughters, and what antiques, calligraphy and paintings, wood and gems, they have to save for more than ten years before they show the importance and love of the daughters in the family.
The countryside is not so particular, and no matter how much they love their daughters, it will only take a year or two to slowly find a dowry, and there are not a few people like Song Xiuxiu who can buy a set of dowries in a few months.
Lily and Sister Lamei are not much different from each other, but in Lily's heart, she is a little bit of a child, because she was a teacher in her previous life, and when she first met Lamei, Lamei was a little girl of middle school age.
Lily's action of saving a dowry for Lamei was not hidden, and when she came back from the spring, she snorted and said: "It's the same sister, the eldest sister raises you and raises the girl!"
Originally, Lily planned very well, and when Wang Xiaofu explained to her father, the two families would have the same ceremony, and finally get married, and she would just be able to prepare the dowry.
It is not a coincidence, Li Mingjiang went up the mountain to cut bamboo and fell and was injured, but spent a lot of money for the treatment, if it were not for the tofu shop, not to mention the dowry of Lamei, even the daily use of the family should also tear down the east wall and make up the west wall.
In the past few days, Li Mingjiang and Zhu's attitude towards Wang Xiaofu have all been seen in their eyes, and they secretly thought: With Xiaofu's intelligence, it is a matter of time before he wins his father's mother, and it won't be long before Lamei can get married, but now that the money is not in hand, he has to think of a way to make money.
Lily calculated his own family background, how to calculate why it was not enough, and was so worried that he didn't know what to do, and took out the money-making methods he had learned from working everywhere in his previous life and doing everything possible in his mind over and over again, and finally remembered an idea.
She had thought of this idea as early as last year when she was harvesting sweet potatoes, and then she was busy and forgot about it, and when she thought about it again, Lily couldn't help but look at her forehead: "I'm so busy and confused, I can forget even such a big thing!"
Her idea was not new, it was made of sweet potato starch to make vermicelli. When she went to the county, she paid attention to the shops on the street, and only saw one or two handfuls of vermicelli in the grocery store, and she didn't know what they were made of, and no one bought them.
Lily thought to herself, if she could get the vermicelli out and promote the way to eat it by the way, not only the people in the town could eat it, but also the business in the county, and she might be able to take a few points.
Although there are enough sweet potatoes to eat at home now, it is far from enough to make vermicelli, and the current staff around Lily is too busy, so she thought about it again and has a plan in her heart.
As the saying goes, if things are slow, things will be round, and Lily is not in a hurry to find someone to talk about business, but she took advantage of the time to call Lamei to help, and the two sisters pondered how to make sweet potato vermicelli.
Try to make it at home, don't use too many sweet potatoes at first, take a basket of well water, wash it clean, and cut off the rough parts at both ends. The next crushing is best with a flour beater, but in these days, there is no such thing, so Lily has to chop the sweet potatoes first, and then grind them on the small stone mill at home.
The more the sweet potato flour is broken, the better, the stone mill grinds slowly, but the flour is good, the grinding slurry is first mixed with water and filtered, clear for a day, and then mixed with water and filtered again, and the sweet potato flour is automatically separated into two layers in the water after a day or two.
Decanter the top layer of water, and leave half a pot of white flower pollen, and put it under the sun to dry. When it is semi-dry, cut it into pieces with a knife and move it to the bamboo plaque to continue drying, so that it can be dried until it is dry.
The sun-dried sweet potato starch is fine and white, and Lamei also thinks her sister is making powder to wipe her face, saying: "White is white, but this is too white, I'm afraid it won't look good." ”
Lily laughed: "This is not a powder to wipe your face, it's a mile to eat." ”
The gouache used to wipe the face is often made of glutinous rice, which is the same process as making sweet potato flour, but the glutinous rice flour powder is more delicate, and many whitening drugs such as angelica angelica are added to it.
Lily didn't think about making some rouge gouache to sell, and then after thinking about it, the idea of the town, she made rouge gouache and not many people were willing to buy it, and the quality was not necessarily as good as Wang Xiaofu They brought from the county, or it was more cost-effective to make food.
When all the sweet potato flour is dried, take a lump, melt it in a basin with cold water, and then use the boiling water that has just been boiled to wash it.
When she did this, Lily laughed: even if you can't make sweet potato vermicelli, it's nothing, it's not bad to be able to make paste, and you can cook in the future.
Then add dried sweet potato flour to the paste, knead it into a soft dough little by little with the kneading technique, and hold it in your hand without sticking to your hands.
The next is the leaky vermicelli, because it is at home, it is most convenient to use a colander to leak the vermicelli, where do you know that this step is most likely to make mistakes, either it leaks intermittently, or it sticks so that it can't leak.
The two sisters wasted two pots of sweet potato flour to figure out what the dough should be kneaded into properly, and it must be leaked while it is hot, and it will not be possible to do it if it is slightly cooler.
Lily and Lamei were so hot that their hands were red, and Zhu couldn't help but say: "Two losers, how can such a good thing be used to make tricks!"
Lamei didn't lift her eyelids, her eldest sister was clever, but her mother didn't understand these.
Lily smiled: "You don't know, if this thing is made, our three girls' dowry will be mile, and we are not spending things." ”
Zhu pouted: "What do you want those dowries? ”
She said that she was used to saying this, and she couldn't change her words for a while, and the two sisters didn't bother to care, so they just said: "Mother, you let me go, don't get in the way." ”
Zhu came to the kitchen to see what they were doing, but when he saw that the two girls were sweating profusely, they didn't have the heart to talk to her, so he suddenly felt left out, and shook his hand and walked out: "I'll go outside to find someone to talk to." ”
She was in Liushan Village a few decades ago, but she didn't see so many people and so many new things in the town, and now in addition to serving Li Mingjiang, she just runs out every day, carrying a bag of pumpkin seeds to the streets and alleys to find people to talk to, as long as she doesn't make trouble, Lily doesn't care about her.
The lily over there tried many times, and finally succeeded in leaking a handful of vermicelli, and when it leaked to a certain length, Lamei caught it with a wooden stick that was finger thick and one and a half feet long, cut it and put it in the bamboo plaque, and then leaked a handful.
By this time, Lily had already been so tired that her arms were sore, but looking at the crystal clear fans, her face couldn't help but bloom with joy.
In the end, there was a lot of Taocheng, so many sweet potato powders, in the end, only leaked into four sticks of vermicelli, Lamei took the vermicelli to the yard to dry, so that they could be shaped and dried as soon as possible.
When Zhu came back the next day, he saw a few sticks of fans hanging in the yard, so he came over curiously and touched it, and shouted: "It's hard like this, can this be eaten? I said earlier that I told you to toss less and toss less, but you didn't listen, but now it's good, those good sweet potatoes have been lost!"
Lamei was also worried about herself, it was all because of her confidence in Lily that she was not as out of shape as Zhu's, and Lily saw that the vermicelli was not much different from what she had seen in her previous life, and she was happy: "What's the hurry, I'll show you a hand when I turn around, and you will know the benefits of this thing." ”
The Zhu family wants to enjoy the blessings of their daughter, and refuses to cook, and the two sisters don't expect her to cook.
Lily asked Lamei to go to the pork shop to weigh a pound of pork belly back, the meat skin was still hairy, put it on the stove and burn it with fire, scrape and wash the meat skin, and cut it into half a palm-sized slice.
Take a handful of dried vermicelli and soak it in warm water, the vermicelli will become soft soon after entering the water, and Lamei will be relieved at this time: "It's just so hard, I'm still afraid of poking it out of my stomach after eating." ”
Lily laughed out loud: "It's so hard, how can you eat it?"
Without further ado, the sliced pork is blanched in boiling water to skim off the blood foam. In addition, heat with a little clear oil, stir-fry the green onion and ginger, put some bean paste in and stir-fry until fragrant, then pour in the pork belly slices, add a spoonful of autumn oil and half a spoon of sugar.
Stir-fry until all the meat slices are browned, drop two drops of rice wine to remove the smell, add half a pot of water, and bring to a boil over high heat.
At this time, the vermicelli is soaked, cut into two to three pieces with scissors, added to the pot and boiled for a while, and then put the chopped cabbage leaves into it.
The final finished sauce is rich in color, fragrant with meat and vegetables, and it is frighteningly fragrant with a bowl of rice.
After Li Mingjiang's little problem was cured of the Tho Ma Tofu Soup, his appetite improved again, and he ate more than a bowl of it, and said: "This vermicelli made by the big girl is fragrant and soft, and it is really delicious." ”
Zhu said: "This idea vermicelli needs a basket of sweet potatoes to make it, no matter how thick the family foundation is, how can it withstand such a Taocheng?"
"Mother, do you just say it's delicious?" Zhu didn't speak, so he didn't want to make this disobedient girl proud, so he didn't stop for a moment, and put two chopsticks and noodles into his bowl, and sighed and ate quickly.
