Chapter 61 Water Substitution Law
Now that he has agreed to manage the money, Qi Lele is no longer ambiguous, and immediately asked Xie Zi'an to write down all kinds of details, and make a separate list of purchases and matters.
The seeds sown in spring are in the first place, and Wang Yuzhong has already made a decision with others, so he just has to buy them at that time.
Orchard planting doesn't have to be rushed, good fruit trees are not cheap, and it is important to plant grapes and watermelons first, both of which can be profitable in a few months.
Then there are rations, the food on the Xie family's side is enough to eat for a while, but the Wang family's is not enough, after all, there are eight more people to eat, and they are all young adults doing farm work, and they can not eat the most.
Then there is organic fertilizer.
Xie Zi'an stopped writing: "What is organic fertilizer?"
Qi Lele quickened his tone and said, "It is fertilizer, which is made from weeds, pond mud, wheat straw, night incense, animal manure, bean dregs, plant ash, etc., which can increase soil fertility and increase crop yield."
Xie Zi'an was silent for a long time.
Qi Lele can somewhat understand his mood at the moment, after all, there is no distinction between readers! It's reasonable to not accept it for a while. Even in modern times, there are many people who say that they will not eat the vegetables poured by the night fragrance.
"How?"
Qi Lele said tactfully: "I won't go into detail about this, the process is not troublesome, but you may have to think of a way in terms of materials."
Xie Zi'an's voice was a little tight: "Do you want a lot of night incense?"
Qi Lele said, "I don't need a lot of it, it's mainly relying on other things."
Xie Zi'an exhaled a breath of turbid air and said slowly, "Okay."
Qi Lele pursed his lips and snickered.
Xie Zi'an asked, "What else do you have to remember?"
"That's all for now, I'll wait for the rest to be bought."
Xie Zi'an put down his pen and seemed to inadvertently click on the treasure mirror on the side.
"Do you want to continue listening?"
"Yes!"
Xie Zi'an said, "I remember yesterday someone promised to get me something to eat."
Qi Lele grinded his teeth, he wanted to eat something delicious, right? Yes! Don't cry, you count me as losing!
Looking at Qi Lele's back as he left menacingly, Xie Zi'an touched the tip of his nose, laughed lightly, and raised his legs to follow.
The kitchen was full of ingredients, and Qi Lele rummaged through it, and finally found what he was looking for: sesame seeds.
Scoop out the sesame seeds, carefully sift them out, rinse them with clean water, and soak them in clean water.
"What is this going to do?"
Qi Lele didn't raise his head: "Sesame paste, have you eaten it?"
Xie Zi'an looked at her serious side face, and the words that came to her lips changed inexplicably: "No."
Qi Lele said, "You must have never eaten that hot dry noodle."
"Unheard of."
"I'll give you a taste today!"
Xie Zi'an smiled, "Thank you for your hard work."
Qi Lele glanced up at him, "What do you think! You'll have to do the work later."
"But at Madame's orders."
"Sister-in-law, do you want to make something delicious again?" Xie Sixian's soft voice sounded from behind the two.
Qi Lele turned his head and saw the little girl standing far away, looking over expectantly, and farther away, Xie Ziyan and Xie Ziwen were still avoiding.
「……」
Did they put radar on her for positioning? When I saw her in the kitchen, they all popped up.
Since there is a ready labor force, there is no need to do it in vain: "Scrub this little jar and the little stone mill, and wash the rolling pins."
When Xie Dai and Su Yaxian woke up, they saw such a scene, a few boys were working with their sleeves rolled, and the little girls were circling around them, chattering, so lively.
Su Yaxian said with a smile: "Since Le Er entered the door, everyone in the family has become popular, where can I see people at this time in the past?"
The tip of Xie Dai's nose moved: "Sesame?"
Qi Lele doesn't just fry mushrooms in the kitchen
Hemp, this fried sesame seeds is a meticulous job, you have to keep stir-frying, and at the same time pay attention to the heat, it is easy to burn when it is big, and it is not fragrant if it is fried.
She stared at the pot wholeheartedly, and she didn't even notice that there were two more people around her, until the sesame seeds were a little browned, she twisted a few grains and tasted them, and they were burnt and crispy!
"Sister-in-law! Are you ready to eat?" Xie Sixian secretly swallowed her saliva as she spoke, this sesame seed smells too good!
Qi Lele turned his head, but was taken aback, why did even Xie Dai run to the kitchen!
What else could she say? I can only scoop half a bowl per person, mix some sugar, and satisfy their cravings!
As for the rest, add some cold water and continue to stir-fry until the smoke is out.
Pour the fried sesame seeds into a dustpan, toss them into the air, remove the soot, char and crumbs, and then prepare to grind.
Xie Ziyan was full of food and drink, and immediately took over the grinding errand.
Qi Lele said: "This grinding sesame seeds is not an easy task, you have to grind evenly, not fast or slow, can you do it?"
"He can't." Xie Zi'an took Xie Ziyan's collar and lifted the person aside, and sat down by himself: "I'll come."
Qi Lele nodded and began to add sesame seeds to the stone mill.
Xie Ziyan dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, puffing out his cheeks and being angry for a long time, but in the end he could only succumb to the eldest brother's ***, in terms of body and arm strength, he was indeed not the opponent of the eldest brother.
The fried sesame seeds are already fragrant, and they are even more fragrant when ground into sesame paste, and everyone gathered around the two, licking their lips from time to time, and the appearance of wanting to eat should not be too obvious.
Qi Lele didn't bother to care about them, and after the sesame paste was grinded, he poured it into a small vat, added the same volume of boiling water, and then took a long rolling pin.
"Is it okay to keep stirring?"
Xie Zi'an glanced at her, took the rolling pin and began to work.
Xie Ziyan silently closed his mouth.
A smile flashed in Xie Dai's eyes.
After stirring for a while, the originally sticky tahini began to change, and the oil, water and residue in it were visible to the naked eye. Qi Lele shouted to stop and added some boiling water to it: "Go on."
Xie Zi'an continued to work without saying a word, and the people around him were also quiet, stirring like this for half an hour, Qi Lele added boiling water again.
By this time, most of the oil has floated to the surface, and the dark sauce at the bottom is honeycomb and barely runs.
This time, Xie Dai stretched out his hand and took the rolling pin in Xie Zi'an's hand, Xie Zi'an stepped aside, and his right hand hanging down his sleeve trembled slightly.
Xie Dai didn't stir for too long, and Qi Lele shouted: "Okay!"
Scoop out all the oil floating on the top layer, put the layer mixed with oil residue in the middle alone, and stir and separate it when you turn around, as for the bottom one, it is the sesame paste that Qi Lele wants!
At this moment, Xie Dai opened his mouth: "I only heard of the method of frying coke and pressing the oil, but I don't know that adding water and stirring can also produce oil."
"This is a water substitution method, which is a little more fragrant than the pressed sesame oil, and the rest of the sesame paste is also more mellow."
Xie Dai dipped some sesame sauce and tasted it, and said, "It's really good."
At this time, Wang Yuzhong and Aunt Wang also came over: "Is this making sesame paste? It smells so good!"
Qi Lele listened, and couldn't help but look at Xie Zi'an, didn't this person just say that he hadn't eaten sesame paste? Xie Dai has tasted it, even Wang Yuzhong knows it, will he have never eaten it?
Xie Zi'an lowered his head and straightened his sleeves, as if he didn't notice Qi Lele's eyes.
Qi Lele couldn't help but feel funny, so let's pretend!
Xie Sixian hurriedly invited credit: "It was my sister-in-law and eldest brother who did it together!" We're all helping!"
Qi Lele touched her round bun and said with a smile, "Well, everyone made it together."
Aunt Wang smiled and said, "What are you going to eat at night? I'll help you."
"Aunt Wang came just in time, I really can't knead so many noodles alone."
"Do you want to eat noodles with this sesame sauce?"
Qi Lele blinked: "Yes and no!"
If you want hot dry noodles to be chewy and chewy, the main thing is the kneading technique.
Add an appropriate amount of alkaline noodles and salt to the white noodles, add some water, stir until the shuttle is in a state without dry powder, and then start kneading the dough with your hands, so that the kneaded dough is very hard and has a faint yellow color.
After the dough is kneaded, cover it with a cotton cloth, let it rest for half an hour, then knead it a little softer, cut it into portions, roll it out into a cake shape with a rolling pin, and then cut it into thin strips with a knife.
Taking advantage of the boiling water, Qi Lele scooped out some sesame paste, added some cold boiled water, and stirred until it was thin and set aside.
Boil the water over high heat, drain the noodles below, drain the water with a drain sieve after scooping it up, then scoop a spoonful of sesame oil and pour it on, stir well, make sure that each noodle is stained with sesame oil, then add a little vinegar, salt, green onions, etc., and finally a spoonful of sesame paste, stir well.
This bowl of hot dry noodles is good.
In fact, it would be more perfect to add some diced sauerkraut and radish to it, but it seems that there is no sauerkraut at home, and Qi Lele can only eat it.
The first bowl was originally intended for Xie Zi'an, but Xie Dai never left, so naturally the elders should be given priority.
Xie Dai took one, tasted it carefully, and bowed: "Not bad!"
Xie Sixian swallowed her saliva, couldn't hold back any longer, and pulled the hem of Qi Lele's clothes to be coquettish: "Sister-in-law, I want to eat too!"
Where can Qi Lele parry?
"Good, good! Sister-in-law will make it for you right away!"
Then, the second bowl came to Xie Sixian as she wished.
Xie Ziyan and Xie Ziwen saw each other, and they followed suit, and they also shouted that they were hungry and wanted to eat......
When he remembered Xie Zi'an, it was already a few bowls later, Qi Lele handed the bowl to him, looking at him as if he was smiling, he was inexplicably a little weak-hearted, and couldn't help but say, "Don't blame me for this."
Xie Zi'an didn't answer, and said, "It was originally done for me, and the hardest work is also ***."
Qi Lele had no choice but to say, "I'll compensate you next time?"
"A word?"
Qi Lele said, "A word is a certainty! Can Xiang Gong enjoy his face now?"
