Reborn Big Brother: Farming Daily Life

Chapter 48 Sauerkraut and Shredded Pork Soup Rice Noodles

Shen Qingning opened the earthen pot and put it under her window sill for three days. The rice soaked in it had already fermented, and the water surface had become mushy. Grabbing it with her hand, the rice grains were very smooth and tender, that's about it.

This is a delicacy from her hometown in her previous life. When she was kept at her grandmother's house, there was an old woman selling handmade rice noodles not far from her grandmother's house.

The grandchildren of the old woman's family are the same age as her, and the children often mix together, so they see a lot of these things.

When she brought out the clay pot, Qingxiu also gathered around to look, "Are you ready?"

Shen Qingning lifted the manhole cover, took out a bucket of water, put the rice in the basket, and washed it with water.

"This is just the beginning, it's still early, it's still early, I can eat it at night."

Qingxiu looked at the sky, she just finished her breakfast, "What kind of delicious food can last a day? No matter how delicious it is, it doesn't take much time. Does it really say that in the book?"

"Of course it's true. The books I found at the book store that day were all about delicious books from all over the world. I wrote this down as soon as I saw it. It must be delicious when I make it."

Early this morning, Shen Dahe and Mrs. Li drove out in a donkey cart. They were going to Lin County to see if there was any store willing to sell the bean curd sticks.

Now, apart from the previous Zhuji store, there are two other stores that also sell bean curd sticks, and the elderly and children of the whole family carry baskets and walk around the streets to sell them, and the price is even cheaper than in the shops.

Shen Qingning's family discussed with a few shops, and everyone earned a little less, and lowered the price accordingly.

No one in their family has a very genius business mind, so they can only lower the price within an acceptable range to prevent the loss of old customers.

Within a few days, Shen Guan and Shen Qingning urged Shen Dahe to go to Lin County to open up the market, and maybe sell more than now.

After discussing with each other, the couple decided that it was feasible, so they set off early this morning with their belongings and driving the car.

Shen Qingning also took advantage of his parents' absence, so he must fiddle with the rice noodles today!
The two sisters tried their best to grind the soaked rice into rice milk, squeezed out the rice milk with a cloth bag, and then put the rice noodles in a wooden barrel and steamed them in a pot.

Surviving a set is quite tiring.

Qingxiu sighed, "Fortunately, we make yuba at home. Everything in this set is ready-made, which saves a lot of trouble."

"Sister, where are you now? The most tiring part has not yet begun."

……

After the rice noodles are steamed, they are poured on a wooden board and kneaded to form a large cooked rice noodle.

Shen Qingning clapped her hands, "Okay, then we can press rice noodles."

She took out a simple noodle press she made with a bamboo tube. One end of the bamboo tube was sawn open, and she drilled many thin holes in the other end.

In fact, Shen Qingning had already found a master in the county to make a noodle press machine, but he dared not take it out in the space.

She almost broke her mouth because of this noodle making machine. The master has never seen it before, so she talked for a long time before she could make it clear.She knows how to use the principle of leverage, but she doesn't have the brains to explain it clearly to others.

How to say?Say give me a stick, can I pry the earth?At that time, I am afraid that people will really say that he is a ghost!

Fortunately, the finished product is quite satisfactory, and it should be easy to use.If you don't have enough food, you can use bamboo tubes to make do with it, but she is selling it, and if she really wants to use bamboo tubes, she doesn't know if the money she earns is enough to pay the hirer's wages.

The water in the pot was already boiling, Shen Qingning pressed the rice noodles in the bamboo tube into the pot with all his strength, this was the most tiring of all the procedures!

Putting it in boiling water is to prevent the rice noodles from being brittle. When the rice noodles float up, it is cooked. Pick it up and put it on a large bamboo sieve to dry.

"Okay, let's put it aside for now. When my parents come back, I will make rice noodles for dinner."

Qingxiu looked suspicious, "Isn't this just noodles? Noodles made of rice?"

Shen Qingning nodded, "This is called rice noodles, not noodles."

"What flavor?"

"It doesn't smell much."

"Ah? Tasteless, then you have spent so much effort just to make a bowl of tasteless noodles?"

"It's because it has no flavor, so you can make whatever flavor you want."

Qingxiu was confused.

The two sisters have been busy for most of the day for this little thing, and they haven't done a lot of work at home.

Now that the new house is built, it is really comfortable to live in, but it takes more work than before to clean it up.

The front yard alone is many times larger than before, and there is an old tree on the east side, I don't know how many years old, with lush branches and leaves, Shen Dahe also kept his promise to hang a swing on the tree for Shen Zheng.

It was only when Shen Zheng officially moved in that he realized that the swing was in the care of his second sister, and when Shen Qingning was free, the swing must belong to her.Only when she is working, the swing belongs to Shen Zheng.

And due to Shen Qingning's coercion by force and the temptation of delicious food, Shen Zheng didn't even have the courage to resist!
A horse shed was set up against the west courtyard wall, and next to it was a big chicken coop. Mrs. Li raised more than a dozen chickens at a time.

There are many children in the family, and she doesn't plan to sell the eggs after laying, and leave them all for the children to eat, and make up for what they didn't eat before.

Connecting to the chicken coop, there is a long and narrow path leading directly to the backyard.The back yard is much larger than the front yard, and now the vegetables in this yard are enough for the whole family to feed chickens and pigs.

Both the latrine and the pigsty are built in the backyard, which is convenient for fertilizing the vegetable garden and avoiding too much odor in the front yard.

Shen Qingning is very satisfied with the current living conditions.

What she needs to do most now is to earn money to buy land!
The so-called family has no panic, she has no big ambitions, she just wants to be a landlady, and she can live a happy life with a mouthful and a hand for a lifetime!
Now the family only has the two mu of land they got when they separated, plus the five mu of land they bought after being tied up to protect against the disaster.

With a total of seven acres of land, it is difficult to support a family, so there is no such thing as a happy life, let alone a mouthful and a hand for food!

There are still two or three months before the Chinese New Year, and if the bean curd sticks sell well by then, or the rice noodle business can be done, she wants to encourage her father not to farm next year.

Planting seven acres of land without paying rent, and then making bean curd sticks or rice noodles, it’s more cost-effective to pay [-]% of the rent for the tenant’s land!
The two sisters fed the chickens and pigs and did housework, and soon it was time to make dinner.

Considering her cooking skills, Shen Qingning still handed over the task to Qingxiu, she is still suitable to be a commander to control the overall situation.

If Qingxiu knew that her culinary skills were so refined, she might throw away her spatula and go on strike.

Heat the oil in a pan, pour the onion, ginger, garlic and dried chili and sauté until fragrant, then add the shredded pickled sauerkraut, stir-fry over high heat, then add shredded pork and stir-fry together.

Put this up and put it away first. When the parents come back, they can cook a powder and eat it.

I also took eggs, bean sprouts, peppers, and minced garlic and fried a large plate of egg fried noodles.Then I cooked a light pork shredded powder for Xiao Miaoer alone.

After finishing all these, Shen Dahe and Li Shi came back.

The whole family was cooking at the dinner table, except for Shen Zheng who had already eaten so much, no one else moved their chopsticks.

"Qingning, is this the rice noodles you mentioned?"

Shen Qingning nodded, "Well, the hot and sour rice noodles with pickled cabbage and shredded pork soup!"
