Seeing that he had to wait so long, Brother Tuan couldn't help but feel a little anxious;

For the next half hour, he was guarded, and he didn't want to leave a single step.

Red Beans also went with him, and in addition to the ice drink, she also wanted to try cold noodles.

"Mother, do we still have noodles at home? Can you make some noodles out, I want to try cold noodles. ”

Zhang's and Mrs. Xie are a little strange, what kind of cold noodles? Aren't all noodles hot after cooking?

Looking at the puzzled expressions of the two, Hongdou understood that there was no cold noodles here.

She remembers that in history, there was a cold tao in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

I don't know if it's just that this place doesn't have it, or if it's not in the entire Daqing country.

"Mother, after you cut the noodles, pull the noodles to both sides, pull them a little finer, and then cook."

"Okay, my mother will knead the dough for you now."

After Zhang finished speaking, seeing that his mother-in-law did not object, he turned around and went to the kitchen to get busy, just as the perilla leaves were also finished.

"Grandma, can you cut some shredded cucumbers? Mix cold noodles for a while. ”

Hongdou thought as he spoke, and now he has to knead the noodles freshly, which is quite laborious.

If you make money by making ice, look for opportunities to see if you can make somen noodles.

Dried noodles can be stored for a period of time, and it is more convenient to eat them directly if you want to, which is another transaction.

Hope all the best.

Several people were busy, and half an hour passed quickly.

When the red bean lifted the lid, he saw that the water in the small basin in the middle had really condensed into transparent ice cubes under the action of stone absorption.

I couldn't help but smile on my face: It's done.

Grandma Xie: "Oh my God, this, this is really ice?" ”

Zhang: "Girl, our family really made ice." ”

Brother Tuan'er: "Sister, sister, it's ice, it's ice." ”

Several people surrounded the wooden basin, surprised and didn't know how to react, Xie Pozi couldn't help but touch it with her hand,

"It's ice, it's ice."

Zhang and Brother Tuan couldn't help but touch it with their hands.

"Grandma, mother, brother Tuan'er, shhhh Red Bean looked around, signaling not to be heard.

Only then did several people realize that they all closed their mouths.

This is the biggest secret of their family, the secret recipe for their meal, which must be kept secret.

However, the corners of the eyes of a few people bent up, all revealing their good mood.

"Let's take the ice to the kitchen and melt some first."

"After a while, the noodles are cooked, go through ice water, cool down, and now it will be comfortable to eat in this weather."

After Hongdou finished speaking, he directly carried the small wooden basin into the kitchen, and the rest of the people consciously followed in as if they were being towed.

Zhang's cooked the noodles quickly.

According to what her daughter said, after scooping up the noodles, she went through the ice water and put them separately in a soup basin.

Xie Pozi was not idle, boiled the perilla water, let it cool, and chiseled a piece of ice by the way, and put it in for a while.

While moving in his hands, he thought in his heart:

I didn't expect her, an old woman, to have such a day of enjoyment, dragging her granddaughter's blessing.

The red beans checked the seasoning, and the basic ones were quite complete, but they were not as rich as the seasonings of later generations;

At this time, chili oil is made of dogwood, and the taste is average, so it can only be used at present.

In the follow-up seasoning part, the red bean did it herself, so as not to let her mother be reluctant to put the seasoning and oil. This noodle doesn't taste good, but it doesn't taste good.

Brother Tuan has been swallowing saliva for a long time, this smell is too fragrant.

Especially when the last hot oil is poured into the noodles and the fragrance comes out;

Not to mention that he is a child, even Xie Pozi and Zhang's eyes are reluctant to remove the soup pot.

"Alright, it's ready to eat."

Hongdou took the lead in sharing a bowl with each of the two elders, then Brother Tuan, and finally served a bowl himself;

A few people just ate around the stove, and no one wanted to move their positions.

"Sister, this noodle is too delicious, so delicious."

Brother Tuan'er ate with a mouth full of oil, and after saying this, he continued to bury his head in the bowl.

Not only Brother Tuan, but Mrs. Xie and Zhang's also ate with a satisfied face, and Hongdou was very happy to see this.

Although the taste is not as good as that of later generations, it is rare in this era when materials are not so abundant.

Seeing that a few people had eaten almost, Hongdou put a part of the ice cubes into the boiled perilla water,

Stir well, and then one person will share a bowl of water to hydrolyze greasy.

"Grandma, mother, how about you try this perilla ice drink?"

As he spoke, he handed the missing bowl to Brother Tuan'er.

The three of them had just finished eating cold noodles, and although they were full of comfort, they were also a little sweaty;

Now a bowl of cold drink is drunk slowly, and it is as comfortable as a fairy.

"Yes, yes, red beans, our perilla drink must be easy to sell, drink such a bowl this day, keep it and extinguish the fire."

"Otherwise, we'll try to sell it in the afternoon, and if it sells well, we'll have to buy some more stone to come back."

Mrs. Xie is now full of confidence.

After the perilla is boiled, put ice cubes in it, and the amount will be more. They sell bowl by bowl, and they don't worry that no one will buy it.

"Perilla drink is to be sold, but I also want to sell this cold noodle, grandma, mother, what do you think?"

Cold noodles are only sold in summer, and the perilla drink and cold noodles are together, and several of them are also busy.

"I listen to my sister, cold noodles are delicious, I like to eat them."

Brother Tuan is now a loyal fan of her sister, and everything her sister says is right.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Zhang laughed, but:

"Red beans, this noodle is delicious, but the flour is expensive, I'm afraid few people are willing to buy it."

Xie Hongdou has considered this problem, if all the fine noodles are used, the price is expensive, and few people in the town are willing to spend money.

How do you mix some thick noodles?

"Mother, I have to bother you to try again, add more thick noodles to the thin noodles."

"If the taste is not bad, let's mix it up, and the price will be lower."

Xie Pozi and Zhang's both think it is feasible, anyway, the ice has been made, and no matter how bad it is, they can still sell ice drinks;

If the cold noodles can't be sold, they eat them themselves.

Thinking like this, the two of them took advantage of the fact that it was still early to make noodles before noon.

There are more people on the road at noon, because the people who are doing the work are rushing home to eat or buy food outside.

At this time, it is better to sell, that is, they themselves are more affected, which is a trivial matter.

The red bean continued to take his younger brother to make ice under the eaves, and prepared some more for today's use.

Ice drinks are simple and sold by the bowl, and someone will definitely buy them on a hot day.

At noon, everything was ready, and several people discussed going out, but they encountered a problem before going out.

"I don't have enough bowls at home, what can I do?" Zhang Shi looked at the two small kegs in front of him and said.

It's okay that cold noodles are dry, but this cold drink must be packed with something, otherwise it will have to be sprinkled.

"It's okay, mother, pick some leaves from the yard and use them to serve noodles."

"As for the cold drink, if you want to take it out, you have to bring your own things to fill it, anyway, the town is not big."

"If you drink it now, you won't have much time to delay a bowl, let's go to the grocery store and rent a few more bowls, it's enough."

You have to ask for money to rent, Mrs. Xie thought a little distressed, but there was no way, and the place where it should be spent could not be saved.

"Just do what Hongdou said, let's check it again, and go out when it's ready."

"The people who are coming home from work are also on their way."

Zhang quickly washed the leaves and put them in the basket with the bowl;

The four of them went out to the street together with apprehension.
