Chapter 342: Door-to-door meals
Yun Xue rolled the noodles here, and Yun Ting and the others also came back, "Eldest sister, what delicious food are you making there?" Yun Lei jumped and jumped over to take a look, "Huh? It's noodles, but how do they turn black, not white? "The sorghum flour itself is purple, and with the mushrooms, it has a bit of a black feeling.
"It's sorghum noodles, the noodles that Sister Yunxue rolled out with sorghum noodles." Yushu still thinks it's quite interesting, this method has never been heard of at all.
Yun Ting and Yun Lei also felt quite fresh, and asked Yun Xue vigorously.
"These are all handed down by the old man, we don't produce wheat in the north, don't we have to buy white flour from outside? Ordinary people, except for the New Year, where are they willing to use white noodles? I can't help but find a way to make and eat. Whether it is cornmeal or sorghum flour, you can use this method to make noodles. Of course, it can also be mixed with elm bark to grind powder, which is also sticky and easy to use. Yun Xue smiled and cut out the last piece of noodles, and then put it on the curtain.
In the kitchen, Yunni had already lit the fire, and the water in the pot was boiling. Yun Xue came to the kitchen with the noodles and put the noodles directly into the pot. On the pot table, a basin was placed with half a basin of cold water in it. When the noodles in the pot are cooked, they are scooped into a pot and passed through with cold water.
Sure enough, although the boiled noodles were a little darker, they were not broken at all, and they were even more chewy than the white noodles. Yun Xue poured out the water in the basin and added cold water again, and the noodles were already cold by this time. "Set the table, let's eat. It's in the yard, and it's comfortable to eat cold noodles on a hot day. ”
Tianfu led Yunxia back from outside, just in time for dinner. These two people thought it strange to see so many people in the family.
"Brother Tianfu, hurry up and wash your hands and eat, where is the noodles that my eldest sister rolled today." Yun Lei shouted babblingly.
Although Tianfu felt a little strange, he still happily led Yunxia to wash his hands.
The table was set up in the courtyard, and on top was a plate of shredded cucumbers, a bowl of garlic sauce, a bowl of egg sauce, and a bowl of crushed pickles. Yun Xue thought, it's a pity, there are no spicy cabbages or tomatoes, otherwise, you can try to eat cold noodles. However, it's good to have these, and the big guys each grab a bowl of noodles and add garlic sauce or egg sauce to their liking.
The noodles are very slippery and chewy, and they have a light mushroom aroma. The children ate very happily, and they shouted that it was delicious.
"Sister Yunxue, I really didn't expect you to have this ability. Heck, this one tastes better than white noodles, and it tastes so good. "They have never eaten the orb, and they praise it vigorously.
Yun Xue shook her head, "It's just a fresh meal, but it can't catch up with white noodles." Sorghum flour is too thick, don't you think? Yun Xue felt that it was not too ideal, and the sorghum flour was still thicker. However, at this time, it can be regarded as a rare thing. "Hurry up and eat, I've done a lot today, everyone can eat hard."
On a hot day, eating cold noodles, everyone is more and more refreshed, and they all eat a lot more than usual. In fact, northerners are willing to eat cold rice in summer, even if it is newly made rice porridge or rice, they also like to eat it with cold water. So they don't have to worry about eating bad stomachs or anything, they have already adapted.
Yun Xue didn't worry about this, and smiled and watched her younger siblings eat. Baozhu They are girls, and they eat well, each of them eats two bowls, and they all shout that they are delicious. "I don't eat it, this is more than half a bowl of my usual food, it's really full." Baozhu laughed.
"Sister Yunxue, if the big guys know this method, they will probably have to rush to pick up the big mushrooms." Pearl Road.
"If you know, you know, it's just a meal. Besides, it's too troublesome, and you have to have mushrooms, so most people don't want to bother with that. "Yun Xue doesn't care, these things are just to eat a full stomach, and they are not a top secret, whoever loves to learn will learn it.
The girls sat at Han's house for a while before they went home with their baskets on their backs. Yun Xue and Yun Ni also quickly picked out all the mushrooms they picked up, left some for the night to fry and eat, and the rest were all split and spread out on broken mats to dry.
"Eldest sister, you are all here, Yunxia is at home. I'll go to the river and take a look, and I'll get some fish and add vegetables in the evening. Tianfu said, and left with the basket.
Xiao Yunxia saw the mushrooms and liked them very much, but she forgot about sticking to Tianfu, and followed Yunxue and the others to pick mushrooms. Her little hands are also very useful, and she really split the mushrooms, and she was so happy that she clapped her hands.
In the small courtyard of the farmhouse on a summer afternoon, the crisp and cheerful laughter of the little girl sounded, which made people feel better when they listened to it.
"What makes you so happy?" Shen Hongjun stepped into the courtyard, followed by Shen Liang and Yun Zhen.
"Big brother, look, there are a lot of mushrooms." Yunxia held a handful of mushrooms and ran to Shen Hongjun to show the treasure.
"Ah, there are so many mushrooms, did Yunxia pick them up? We may have done it. Shen Hongjun picked up Yunxia and threw her away.
Xiao Yunxia was not afraid, but laughed happily, "It's a little higher." She shouted.
Shen Hongjun threw it twice, and then put Yunxia down, "Okay, my brother is tired and can't throw it." ”
Yunxia's little face was flushed, her big eyes were shining, and she was still very excited. However, she didn't ask Shen Hongjun to continue to coax her to play, she just pulled Shen Hongjun's hand and went to pick mushrooms together.
"Did you go into the mountains in the morning? I got all these mushrooms back, is this kind of mushroom delicious? Shen Hongjun hadn't seen these mushrooms in the Northeast, so he asked casually.
"It's delicious, the noodles that the eldest sister rolled out with mushrooms and sorghum noodles at noon are delicious." Yunxia hurriedly answered at this time. She has a very good memory, and she can remember everything that everyone has said. She had heard Yunxue say just now that the noodles were made, so she hurriedly said at this time.
Shen Hongjun and the three were a little strange, they hadn't heard of it. Even Yun Zhen knew for the first time that the eldest sister still had this ability.
Yun Xue had no choice but to tell them again, "One day when I go up the mountain and encounter that kind of big mushroom, I will make it again and ask you to come back and eat it, today's one has been eaten up by everyone." Yun Xue thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, let's eat here at night, and I'll fry mushrooms for you to taste." ”
"Okay, then we'll eat at home in the evening." Shen Hongjun said with a smile.
Yun Zhen looked at the sky, it was only the beginning of the day, and it was a bit of a waste to stay at home for an afternoon. "Eldest sister, then let's go to the forest to see if we can get some game and come back, and we can add some vegetables at night." Yun Zhen was afraid that there would be nothing to eat at home, after all, Shen Hongjun and Shen Liang were going to eat here, and it was too bad to look good.
When Shen Liang heard this, he was also interested, "Okay, I've never hunted in the woods here, let's go and try it." So saying, he was going to go out.
Yun Zhen hurriedly entered the house, went to find a bow and arrows and other things, and then went out with Shen Liang and walked towards Dongshan.
"These two people, who are in a hurry, say that the wind is the rain." Yun Xue couldn't help but shake her head and smile. "How much prey is there in the mountains now? The smart ones have long been hiding in the woods and not coming out, and if they come out, they will be caught, and they are not stupid. ”
"It's okay, let them go, there's nothing to do when they're idle." At this time, the crops in the fields were not yet edible, and although there were occasional people coming across the river, there were not many of them, and the patrolling soldiers could easily catch them. Besides, in broad daylight, they didn't dare to come.
"By the way, what's going on with your camp? Is the house built? Shen Hongjun reported to the imperial court and asked for a border tuntian here, and then the imperial court agreed. In the past few days, Shen Hongjun has been busy with this matter. After all, if the soldiers really want to live here permanently in the future, they must have a house, otherwise they will not be able to do it at all in winter.
Shen Hongjun has already found a place, just near the wasteland that the sergeants have reclaimed, found a place, and has begun to let people start building houses. When they build houses, they are naturally different from the Han family, most of them use wood to make wood-carved houses, and then smear a thick layer of mud on the outside, so as to save time. A woodcarved house is not a problem if you live in it for more than ten or twenty years. Ten or twenty years from now, it won't necessarily look like it anymore.
"Well, I've figured it out, and I'll start building a house now. It is estimated that before the last autumn, it will almost be able to dry people, don't worry. Shen Hongjun knew that Yun Xue cared about him, so he smiled very satisfied. Maybe I'll be a little busy lately, and I don't have much time to come, so if you have anything, let Tianfu come to me. ”
"Hey, I know." Yun Xue's heart was sweet, since Shen Hongjun came here, Yun Xue rarely used her brain, if there was anything, Shen Hongjun helped, and generally didn't need Yun Xue to bother. Yun Xue is now more and more dependent on Shen Hongjun.
When Yun Ni saw these two people talking, her eyes began to change, and she couldn't help but snicker. After thinking about it, he dragged Yunxia with him and went to the back garden, "Let's go, accompany the second sister to pick some cucumbers and come back, and eat cold vegetables at night." "It's better to make room for it, or she will feel uncomfortable staying here.
Yunxia has had enough of playing with mushrooms, and when she hears that she goes to the garden, she is naturally not happy. "Second sister, can you help me catch a butterfly? I look at those butterflies so beautiful, can you catch them? ”
The two sisters talked as they walked, and there was no movement for a while.
In the front yard, only Yun Xue and Shen Hongjun were left. Shen Hongjun suddenly chuckled, "These younger brothers and sisters of your family, all of them are ghosts. Yun Xue rolled out the noodles here, and Yun Ting and the others also came back, "Eldest sister, what are you making delicious food there?" Yun Lei jumped and jumped over to take a look, "Huh? It's noodles, but how do they turn black, not white? "The sorghum flour itself is purple, and with the mushrooms, it has a bit of a black feeling.
