Chapter 118 How the Noodles Are Made
Originally, as agreed last year, they were going to the Xu family for dinner, but Xiao Tianbao left them all behind, and even sent someone to invite the Xu family and the Su family.

It's rare for the mayor to invite these two families. Naturally, they will come as soon as they invite them.

In Xiao's living room and dining room, there are five tables in total. The arrangement of elders and elders, juniors and juniors is very reasonable.

Neither the Xu family nor the Su family expected that they would be able to have dinner at the mayor's house at noon on the first day of the new year, which was something they had never done before.

They all knew that they had been honored by the Luo family, to be more precise, they had been honored by Luo Xier.

Xiao Tianbao also changed the rule that they go to the Xu family to have dinner together, so that they all have dinner at the Xiao family. After that, the Xu family and the Su family can eat at the mayor's house every year. It has grown many times.

Speaking of Chinese New Year, Xiao Tianbao sighed, "As soon as Chinese New Year comes, our town feels too deserted and not lively."

"Then how lively do you want to be? This is not a capital city, it's just a small town"

"I plan to recruit some young young men next year, let them dance lions, step on high and knock, twist Yangko, and play in the town for a while every day, so as to make the new year more flavorful."

"You pay for this money?"

"Of course, but you are not poor, so you should do something, right?"

Xi'er smiled, "On behalf of our Luo family, every year during Chinese New Year, we will include a ten-day play, from the [-]th to the [-]th day of the new year, how about it?"

"Ha ha, alright,"

Shopkeeper Xu thought for a moment, "Our Xiangmanyuan is not as big as her family, so we will go with little sister Xi'er. She will cover it for ten days, and my family will cover it for five days. It happens to be the fifteenth day, how about it?"

"Yes, Not Bad"

Shopkeeper Su thought for a while, "How about wrapping up the red lanterns on both sides of the official road? Hanging a string on each tree, how old is this?"

"Well, well, it's not bad, haha, then it's decided"

Xi'er curled her mouth, "I think Patriarch Xiao's inviting us to dinner is fake, but asking us to pay is true"

"Haha, girl, you hit the mark"

There are so many people sitting together, it's really lively, you say something to me, and Xi'er says a word, which immediately makes everyone's emotions high.

"Brother Su, your hand-rolled noodles need to be improved."

"How to improve, you have a lot of ideas, tell me"

"How about turning into ramen?"

"La, ramen? What is ramen?"

"I don't know. In fact, you can expand your noodle business to a wider extent. You don't just want to sell braised noodles and small hot pots. You should open a workshop to sell vermicelli and dried noodles."

"Nope"

"I'll teach you"

"Why don't you show your hand now, I still don't believe it, my hand-rolled noodles can't match your ramen noodles"

Everyone was almost done eating, and taking advantage of the enthusiasm, they all clapped their hands, "Miss Xi'er, come here, Miss Xi'er, come here!"

Xi'er grinned, "It's rare that everyone is so excited. Okay, then I'll show you how the noodles are made. It just so happens that everyone hasn't eaten the staple food yet, so let everyone taste the taste of this ramen."

Shopkeeper Su rubbed his hands, "Then let me make a stew for everyone?"

"Okay, it's right at the door, you beat the bittern, I'll live"

"no problem"

The Xiao family gave strong support and hurriedly asked the cook to move all the things that were used to the living room. Shopkeeper Su made stew, Xi'er pulled noodles, and both sides started to work.

Xi'er quickly rolled up her cuffs, made a large piece of dough in the porcelain basin, and then covered it with a damp cloth to wake up.

Shopkeeper Su cut a white striped chicken into small pieces, blanched it in water and stewed it. He made a small pot of chicken soup and used it to pour ramen noodles.

Xi'er kneaded the dough every once in a while, then put it down and woke up again. It was almost half an hour. She counted the heads and divided the dough into many portions.
Then he pulled the noodles with both hands, kept pulling them together, and pulled them together again. Under people's amazed eyes, a piece of dough turned into noodles of uniform thickness, and the people present were stunned.

She put the noodles into the pot, opened it twice, and poured it out, shopkeeper Su couldn't wait to pour a big spoonful of marinade on it.

The first bowl of noodles was given to Xiao Tianbao, he picked up the chopsticks and started to eat without saying a word.

"Well, yes, this kind of noodles tastes different from those cut with a knife"

Shopkeeper Su immediately yelled, "Miss Xi'er, hurry up, hurry up, I want to try it too"

Mrs. Luo came over to help her, she pulled the noodles, she cooked the noodles, and soon bowl after bowl was brought to the table.

The last two bowls belonged to shopkeeper Su and Xi'er, and Xi'er pouted at shopkeeper Su.

"Taste it" and then eat it on its own.

Shopkeeper Su ate the ramen and sighed while eating, "Xi'er girls, why are you showing off this skill now?"

"Just remembered"

"I've learned your craft. I feel like you put something in it? Isn't that right?"

"Yes, a little bit of salt, a little bit of alkali, it tastes good,"

"I'll just say it, teach me later"

"No problem, when I have time, I will help you make a noodle machine, so that everyone can taste the different textures of noodles"

"What, and a noodle machine?"

"Ah, if you shake it by hand, you can also shake it with a donkey. I'll try it after I finish it. It's just a preliminary idea."

"Hey, I said aunt, you are sincere and greedy, don't you know that waiting is a kind of torment?"

"It won't be too long. You should learn this ramen first. It's okay to recruit some young apprentices. Ramen is also a craft. You are not too young. Take a break when you have time."

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, we were supposed to eat dumplings, but instead ate a bowl of delicious noodles. Everyone was very satisfied.

Ji Kang's eyes were shining when he looked at Xi'er, and he hid his love for Xi'er deeply in his heart.

After eating the noodles lively, it was time for the meal to end, and everyone went home one after another.

Shopkeeper Xu and Shopkeeper Su followed Xi'er back to Luo's house, "Girl, today you have to teach us everything you say."

"It's nothing rare, just practice a few more times, it's just that no one thought of it before, the dough should be soft and hard, ten catties of noodles, add a small spoonful of alkaline noodles, a small spoonful of salt, you must wake up the noodles It is very delicate, so the noodles are delicious.”

"You pull it for us again?"

"I have to rest when I go back. You guys go back to practice on your own. It's the first day of the new year, so please spare me."

"Okay, let's go back to practice, you remember the noodle machine"

"I know, I know"

Xi'er drove them away, and after returning home, not long after, Uncle Ma's family came.

The two cooks got busy immediately, and Aunt Ma was pulling Mrs. Luo, which was called chattering.

Uncle Ma and Xi'er talked about his business this year, "This year's business is better than last year. Although there are more people selling things, the wholesale price you give to my family is cheap, and this year your family has more varieties and larger quantities. , especially canned food, which sells very well in winter, but my uncle is getting older and doesn’t want to run a business anymore.”

"Then, is Uncle Ma interested in helping me manage the farm to the north?"

"Hey, let me take care of it, will they be convinced?"

"You are the uncle of their boss, why are they not convinced?"

The old horse's eyes turned red, "It's rare that you girl value me so much. I'm old, and even if I do it for you, I won't be able to do it for a few years."

"You are not that old"

"The grandson is already engaged, isn't he too old?"

"Not as old as my mother, look at my mother, those who don't know think she is only in her 30s"

"That's because you are filial and kind to your mother, otherwise she can look so young?"

"Hey, I'm talking about business. If you will be the steward of the farm for me, I will give you 50 taels of silver a month. Do you think so?"

"Are you stupid, give me so much?"

"Your monthly sales are about the same amount."

"Hey, but it's too hard to sell goods, and you have to fight when you meet local hooligans, uncle."

"Then it's settled. Go to my farm and help me look after the group of workers, and then find three reliable stewards to manage the pasture, pond and orchard, so you can relax."
