Chapter 104: Gourmet Temptation
"How is this little jar sealed?"
Wang Yuzhong said, "Cover it with cotton cloth and seal it with mud."
This Qi Lele had heard of it, but she had never seen it, so she said, "Don't pretend for the time being, wait for two days."
"Okay."
When Xie Zi'an was pulled into the room, he didn't feel the slightest surprise: "Do you have a good sealing method?"
"There are two ways."
Qi Lele said: "First, choose a wooden stopper that is the right size for the mouth of the jar, stuff it in, and then seal the gaps around it with wax. Second, make a screw-on lid."
"I've heard of the cork. But what is this spiral?"
Qi Lele nodded: "It's just a kind of pattern, just like the threads on the snail shell, have you ever seen a snail?"
Xie Zi'an looked at her.
Qi Lele smiled and continued, "It is to engrave a thread near the mouth of this jar, and then make a lid that is a little larger than this one, and the inside of the lid is also engraved with a thread of the opposite pattern, and the two sets of threads are combined, and as long as one of them is rotated, the two can move along the thread, and finally they are tightly combined."
Xie Zi'an took the jar and rubbed his fingertips at the mouth of the jar, as if he was thinking about what Qi Lele said.
Seeing this, Qi Lele looked around, and finally turned out a piece of candle and pressed a circle of crooked lines on it with his finger: "Probably something like this."
"Threads are so much more than that! It can also be made into a pump that can pump water from low to high. It can be used for irrigation of farmland and can also be used for pumping water in shower systems. As for the rest, I can't think of it for a moment."
After a long time, Xie Zi'an said: "This time, let's seal the mouth with mud for the time being, and next time we will see whether to use the method of wooden stoppers or spirals."
Qi Lele is indispensable.
Xie Zi'an turned around and found a cylindrical wood the thickness of a candle, and also brought a carving knife, as if he was planning to try.
Qi Lele leaned over and drew carefully, and then saw that Xie Zi'an had carved a circle of thin lines on the wood, which had a bit of a spiral in shape.
"Yes! That's it."
It's easy to say, but it's not easy to do, or rather, it's easy to carve the first half, but it's a little harder to have the reverse lines on the other side.
After two days of work, a hundred small jars were cleaned and dried, and then they were ready to be filled.
Heat the tahini paste and sesame oil into a small jar, cover the mouth of the can with a thick cotton cloth, tie it firmly around the mouth of the can with a rope, and then cover the mouth of the can with a layer of wet mud, and wait for the mud to dry.
A hundred cans is not much, but it is not too much, but fortunately, there are many people in the family, and it was packed in a day's work, and it was densely packed in the yard.
Qi Lele's heart is hot, these are two! After it is sent over tomorrow, you can get the funds for the next batch of goods!
Seeing that there was still a lot of sesame sauce left, Qi Lele discussed it with Aunt Wang and decided to make some hot dry noodles, and then slaughter the remaining chickens, so that everyone could have a good meal.
Seeing the chickens, Qi Lele remembered something and asked Xie Zi'an, "Have you mentioned to your father about raising some domestic animals?"
Xie Zi'an said tactfully, "Daddy loves Jie."
This is not agreeing, Qi Lele nodded, and decided to think of some other way.
Livestock must be raised, and there are so many people in the family now, and it depends on how much money it costs to buy meat and vegetables!
On this day's dinner, everyone ate to great satisfaction.
Seeing that everyone was in a good mood, Qi Lele sighed softly: "After eating today, if you want to eat chicken again, I'm afraid it's not very convenient."
Xie Sixian was suddenly alert: "Why?"
"Because we have all the chickens we have at home, if we want to eat chickens, we have to find people who are willing to sell them."
Xie Sixian furrowed her thin eyebrows: "Why did you finish eating?"
Xie Ziyan, who knew some of the inside information, couldn't help but suggest, "Why don't we raise some more chickens?"
Xie Ziwen seconded: "It's good to raise chickens! You can lay eggs, you can eat meat, and you can accumulate fat!
」
Qi Lele showed a little embarrassed: "If you raise chickens, there will be some smells, not very good."
"If you stay away, you won't be able to smell it! Don't we have a big yard in our house now?"
Su Yaxian took a sip of tea slowly, smiled without saying a word.
Xie Dai leaned back on the recliner and listened to their words as if listening to music.
Qi Lele glanced at them and changed the topic: "Actually, milk also has a lot of delicious methods."
"Really?"
Qi Lele smiled: "Yes, for example, double skin milk, there is a double layer of milk skin, the upper milk skin is sweet, and the lower milk skin is smooth. It tastes milky and fragrant."
"And yogurt, sweet and sour, very appetizing. In addition, milk and eggs can be used as cakes, which are fluffy and fluffy and melt in your mouth."
Xie Sixian's saliva is about to flow out! Xie Ziyan and Xie Ziwen also secretly swallowed a few times.
"Milk, we've got it! Big brother, don't we have a cow in our house?"
Xie Zi'an said: "The family's cattle have been sent for breeding, and it will take a while to get them back."
Several sighs of disappointment rang out in the courtyard.
"Actually, if there is a sheep, and a whole sheep is roasted, it tastes very good."
At this time, even Xie Zi'an was a little surprised: "You can make roasted whole sheep?"
Qi Lele said modestly, "I was fortunate to learn from others."
Xie Dai's fingers moved, and he also picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Su Yaxian glanced at him, with a bit of a good show in her eyes.
