Chapter 15 White Noodles
Seeing the little boy walking away, Lin Yunxuan and Zhao Dalin walked back with the chicken coop. Later, go to the rice noodle shop and buy some white noodles, which is flour, and they can go home.
By the time Lin Yunxuan and Zhao Dalin returned home after buying all their things, it was already too late.
Zhao Dalin put the chicken coop at the door of the kitchen, found a broken bowl, filled it with a little water for the chickens to drink, and went to find water to drink. After Lin Yunxuan went to the kitchen to put the things she bought, as soon as she walked out of the kitchen, she saw Zhao Yun'er and Zhao An trotting over.
It turned out that the two of them heard movement in the hall and immediately ran over. They were excited around the chicken coop.
"Wow, chick! Chicks are so cute! Sister, is this our chick? Zhao Yun'er said as she couldn't help but touch the hairy head of one of the chicks with her hand.
"Yes, you will be responsible for taking care of these chicks in the future, okay?" Lin Yunxuan said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, I promise to take good care of them and raise them fat." Zhao Yun'er clapped her little hands and said happily.
"I'm going to help take care of the chicks too." When Zhao An saw the cute chicks, he couldn't help but touch the feathers of one of the chicks with his hand.
"Okay, okay, then I'll leave it to the two of you. Now, you need to find a cage to settle these chickens, which I borrowed from someone else and will return them tomorrow. Lin Yunxuan pointed to the chicken coop and said with a smile.
"I'll go find the cage now." Zhao An volunteered, and disappeared after speaking.
"Did you buy chicks?" He Cuifang came over when she heard the sound, still holding an unfinished embroidery in her hand. Although Lin Yunxuan made a lot of money selling fish balls during this time, she will continue to embroider some embroidery in her free time, thinking that she can more or less help her family.
"Mother, look, this is our chicken." Zhao Yun'er pointed to the chicks and said loudly with excitement on her face, "My sister said that the chicks will be taken care of by me and my brother in the future." ”
"Okay, you'll take care of them in the future." He Cuifang looked at the chicks in the chicken coop, and her heart blossomed. In the past, she could only envy other people's homes for raising chickens and ducks, but she didn't expect that after only a few months, she could raise chickens at home.
"Aunt Fang, did you only catch these fish today?" Lin Yunxuan stood at the door of the kitchen, pointed to a wooden basin in the kitchen and asked He Cuifang.
"Well, there are only a few fish in the fish cage that I went to collect at noon today. Maybe they've caught a lot lately, and those fish have gotten smart and hidden. So we changed places to put fish cages in the afternoon. He Cuifang replied.
"Then I'll go cast the net now." Zhao Dalin, who was drinking water with a bowl on the side, heard this, and was anxious, put down the bowl and said.
"Wait, I'll go with you." After He Cuifang finished speaking, she took the embroidery in her hand back to the hall and put it away.
Lin Yunxuan saw that it was still early, so she called Zhao An and Zhao Yun'er to catch fish together.
Several people were busy until the evening, and finally caught twenty or thirty catties of fish.
Lin Yunxuan remembered that she had told Zhao Dalin at noon that she would make noodles for everyone to eat in the evening, so she went home first to prepare, leaving a few of them to pack up the fishing nets and fish cages.
When she got home, Lin Yunxuan first took out a pound of white noodles, added a small half spoon of salt, then beat in an egg, and then poured in some warm water, stirred while pouring, and then kneaded into a dough after stirring into a flocculent shape, and kneaded it into a harder dough, so that the noodles can taste strong. As the saying goes: soft dumplings and hard noodle soup, hard noodles will be strong. Then cover the dough with a damp cloth to rise, and after almost a stick of incense, the dough is sobered up, and she kneads the dough again, and soon kneades it into a smooth dough, and then covers it with a damp cloth and rises again.
After the dough wakes up, Lin Yunxuan sprinkles some dry flour on the panel, presses the dough into a round cake, and then uses a rolling pin to roll the dough into a large pancake, roll it out to a thickness of two or three millimeters, and then sprinkle some dry flour on the rolled dough to prevent the dough from sticking together, and then fold the rolled dough in half and cut it into a suitable width with a knife. After sprinkling another layer of dry flour on the cut noodles, she pulls them up and shakes them vigorously so that the dry flour spreads evenly and the noodles are done.
At this time, He Cuifang and the others also returned home. Lin Yunxuan asked Zhao An to help boil water and cook noodles.
While waiting for the water to boil the noodles, Lin Yunxuan prepared the toppings.
There was some minced meat left over from making fish cakes in the morning, and He Cuifang was afraid that it would go bad in the evening, so she fried it and put it away. So she stir-fried the minced meat that He Cuifang had fried in the morning, added minced garlic and the seasoned sauce and stir-fried for a while, then added a bowl of water, boiled until the soup thickened, sprinkled with chopped green onions, and the fragrant toppings could be out of the pot.
At this time, the water was also boiling, Lin Yunxuan put a little salt into the water, and then put the noodles in it and stirred it with chopsticks to prevent them from sticking together. After the water is boiled again, I ordered a bowl of cold water, and after ordering the cold water twice, the noodles are cooked, and after the cold water is over, the noodles are taken out of the water, and then put in the fried toppings.
"It's time to eat!" Lin Yunxuan brought the noodles to the table and shouted loudly, attracting everyone to come over for dinner.
"Wow, it smells so good! I'm drooling. Zhao Yun'er was the first to arrive at the dinner table, and when she saw the noodles on the table, her eyes were about to be heartbroken.
"Yes, your saliva is going to flow on the table, why don't we catch your saliva quickly, we don't want to eat your saliva." Zhao An said with deliberate disgust.
"Brother!" Zhao Yun'er stomped her feet angrily, turned around and tickled Zhao An, scratching Zhao An straight and begging for mercy.
The two made Lin Yunxuan and Zhao Dalin and his wife, who came later, laugh.
Zhao Dalin's family rarely eats noodles made of white noodles, after all, white noodles are more expensive, and it is good to be able to eat noodles or gnocchi soup made of thick noodles. In the past, when the two elders of the Zhao family were still there, the family rarely made white noodles, and only in the year when the harvest was better, when Zhao's father had a birthday, he could eat white noodles once.
Everyone was holding the noodles and eating with relish, and Zhao Dalin said while taking a big bite of noodles: "Xuan'er, this noodles are much better than at noon, they are strong and slippery." ”
Lin Yunxuan: "Uncle, I didn't lie to you, I said at noon that the noodles I make are even better than those at the noodle stall." ”
"Uh-huh." Zhao Dalin chewed the noodles in his mouth and responded vaguely.
"Wow, you've had noodles at noon." Zhao Yun'er, who was immersed in eating noodles, heard this, wiped her mouth, raised her head and said, "Next time I will also go to the delivery of goods, and I will also go to the noodle stall to eat noodles." ”
Zhao An knocked on Zhao Yun'er's head and said with a smile, "Stupid, didn't you hear my father say that the noodles made by my sister are better than those made by the noodle stall?" You still have to eat noodle stalls, do you want to eat delicious food or not delicious food. ”
"yes, then I'd better eat the noodles made by my sister." Zhao Yun'er's eyes rolled slightly, and then smiled sweetly at Lin Yunxuan, "Sister, will you make delicious noodles for Yun'er next time?" ”
"Okay, whatever Yun'er wants to eat, my sister will do whatever it will do for you." Lin Yunxuan touched Zhao Yun'er's head dotingly and said.
"Then apart from this noodle, will my sister make other noodles?" Zhao Yun'er continued to be a strange baby.
Lin Yunxuan snapped her fingers and said a few kinds of noodles at once: "Yes, I will make cold noodles, scallion oil noodles, stewed noodles, fried sauce noodles..."
Zhao Yun'er felt that her saliva couldn't be stopped when she heard it, she wanted to eat everything. And He Cuifang, Zhao Dalin, and Zhao An were already stunned, it turned out that there were so many kinds of noodles, and they had never heard of them.
He Cuifang and Zhao Dalin felt more and more that Lin Yunxuan's identity was not simple, but they couldn't say why, and then they simply didn't want to. And Zhao An and Zhao Yun'er are still young, they just think that their sister is so powerful, they seem to be omnipotent, and they can always surprise them.
Lin Yunxuan saw that everyone was so happy and satisfied, and her heart was also full of a sense of accomplishment. It was a good feeling, and she felt like she was starting to enjoy life here. The sun rises and the sun sets, although I am running for three meals a day every day, I live every day very steadily.
