Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 4 The Code of Wealth (Please read the new book!)
The method of making cool skin is still relatively complicated, but this does not trouble Li Yi.

In his previous life, he stayed in the Guanzhong area for a long time. Not only did he like this kind of food, he also learned it from a local master for a period of time.

But when he saw the white noodles at home, he was dumbfounded again.

Making cold noodles requires all-purpose flour, but the flour at home is ground using old-fashioned techniques. In addition to flour, there is also a lot of wheat bran and impurities in it.

With these things, the flour utilization rate is not high, and the cold skin made is not chewy enough.

At the moment, Li Yi found the fine radish seeds at home, then dug out two large bowls of semolina from the tank and filtered them!
After filtering, the wheat bran and larger particles in the flour have been filtered out, leaving behind all-purpose flour that can be used to make cold noodles.

Then add water and knead the dough according to the ratio of flour to water 2:1, knead it into a dough, and let it rest for a while.

The key to making cold dough is washing the dough, which means washing the dough in water to wash out the gluten and batter.

This process was very time-consuming and laborious, and it took Li Yi half an hour.

After doing this, let the gluten rise for more than half an hour, filter the batter and let it sit. After layering, skim off the upper layer of water.

Then Li Yi found a large iron tea tray at home, brushed it with oil, poured in the batter, and steamed it. The cold skin took 5 minutes to cook, and the gluten took 10 minutes to cook.

Soon, the dough will come out of the pan!
Cut the dough into long strips, tear off a piece and put it in your mouth. It is smooth and elastic, and has a faint smell of wheat. In one word - refreshing!

In the following time, Li Yi poured out all the remaining dough and made a total of 11 pieces of dough.

Whether the cold skin tastes good or not depends on whether the dough is well made, and whether the soup is well prepared.

Liangpi itself has no taste, it provides texture.Other taste and visual enjoyment depend on seasonings and side dishes.

Li Yi searched in the kitchen for a long time and found only vinegar and salt, but nothing else.

Vinegar and salt alone obviously couldn't meet Li Yi's requirements. Fortunately, he saw a lot of dried chili peppers hanging on the wall. Li Yi took off the chili peppers, mashed them, and made a spicy spicy dish.

There is no doubt about the importance of chili oil for cold skin. A good chili oil will be red and bright, and the aroma will be fragrant and mellow when you smell it carefully.

Whether a bowl of cold skin is placed in front of you, whether it is pleasing to the eye and makes diners move their index fingers, all depends on the chili oil.

After doing these, Li Yi went to the vegetable garden in the courtyard, picked out a few seasonal vegetables, washed them and used them as side dishes.

Soon, a pot of Guanzhong Liangpi with full color, fragrance and flavor was completed.

Liangpi alone is obviously not enough. Think about the famous Sanqin set meal in Guanzhong, which in addition to Liangpi, also includes Roujiamo and Bingfeng soda.

Soda is a luxury item and cannot be obtained. There is no meat in roujiamo, but steamed buns are available!
Guanzhong's steamed buns were called pancakes in Li Yi's hometown, and now Li Yi was making pancakes again!
Compared with making cold skin, pancakes are much simpler. In a short time, a dozen palm-sized white cakes were ready.

Li Yi had just taken the last white-skin pancake out of the pan when he heard the big yellow dog in the yard suddenly barking. When he looked up, he saw that the third sister and Tang Xue were back.

By the way, Li Na took Tang Xue for a spin on the mountain, giving guidance and comfort to her best friend who was two years younger than her, and constantly apologizing for her incompetent brother, which finally made Tang Xue no longer act like before. Sad.

Seeing that the sun had already reached noon, she estimated that her parents would be coming back from the fields soon, so she took Tang Xue home to prepare lunch for her parents.

But as soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I noticed something was wrong. I smelled a strange fragrance wafting from a distance, which made people swallow their saliva.

"Xiaoxue, can you smell it? It smells so good!"

Tang Xue nodded subconsciously, and then said: "It seems to be the oily smell of pancakes, and it seems to be mixed with something else!"

"Is my mother back? She may be worried that your daughter-in-law will be wronged, so she came back early to prepare delicious food for you!" Li Na said.

Hearing the words "daughter-in-law", Tang Xue's eyes flashed with pain.

Eighteen or nineteen years old is the same age as a flower. She also dreams that one day she can wear a red wedding dress and marry her wishful husband.

But she never thought that her ideal husband would be like Li Yi.

Thinking of this, Tang Xue couldn't help but tears welling up in her eyes.

But being stubborn by nature, she endured it and did not let her tears flow.

Li Na on the side also noticed Tang Xue's abnormality. After scolding the bastard brother again in her heart, she immediately changed the subject and said: "Xiaoxue, don't think too much. Let's go inside and see what my mother did for us. Let’s eat!”

However, when the two entered the house, they were surprised to find that their mother was not in the house, and it was Li Yi who was busy around the stove!

When they saw several large bowls of strange noodles and a plate of white pancakes with a slightly yellow skin on the Kang table, their eyes widened even more.

They all know what kind of person Li Yi is.Although the Li family is a small family, Li Yi is the son of Li Shankui and his wife, and they love him very much!

In addition, he has three sisters above him. Even though the family conditions are not good, Li Yi has never suffered much since he was a child.

Even in the collective days a few years ago, Li Yi didn't have to go to the fields to earn work points, let alone do housework.

Growing up, Li Yi never even washed a pair of socks!

As for cooking, it used to be the responsibility of the eldest sister Li Mei. After the eldest sister got married, she handed it over to the second sister Li Lan. After the second sister got married, she now handed it over to the third sister Li Na. What Li Yi has to do every day is Get home on time for dinner, that’s it.

"Xiao Yi, did you do all this?" Li Na asked in surprise.

Li Yi smiled and said: "Haha, try my craftsmanship!"

Li Na took Tang Xue's hand, came to the kang table and took a closer look, and then said: "Xiao Yi, what is this you made? It looks pretty and smells good, but I don't know how delicious it is. Unappetizing!"

Before Li Yi could answer, Tang Xue whispered: "This seems to be our Liangpi!"

Li Yi immediately said: "It's Liangpi!"

Just as he was talking, a bell rang in the yard, and then Li Shankui and his wife were seen driving a mule cart into the yard.

Li Shankui skillfully unloaded the truck, drank the livestock, and fed the grass, while Zhang Yuehong put away the hoe, went into the house to wash her hands, and prepared to help cook.

When she saw the cold skin and white skin pancakes on the Kang table, she immediately said to Li Na: "Nana, why don't you take out the piece of pickled pork and fry it to replenish Xiaoxue's health?"

Li Na said hurriedly: "Mom, I didn't cook today's meal."

"You child, Xiaoxue hasn't married into our family yet, why do you let people go down to cook?"

Before her mother could finish speaking, Li Na hurriedly explained: "It wasn't Xiaoxue who did it. To tell you the truth, these were all done by your son!"

"Xiao Yi. How is this possible?"

At this time, Li Shankui had also settled the big red mule at home and walked in. Hearing Zhang Yuehong's words, he immediately asked: "What did you say?"

"My father, Nana said the food on the table was cooked by Xiaoyi!"

Li Shankui looked at the food on the table and was stunned. Then he frowned and said, "Did you buy it from outside? Don't spend this unjust money in the future?"

Li Yi smiled and said: "My dear father, please see what this food is before you talk!"

Then Li Yi said again: "This is called Liangpi, which is a specialty of Qin Province. Don't say that my pocket is cleaner than my face now. Even if I have money, we don't sell it in our county!"

"Humph!"

Li Shankui had an expression on his face that said, "I believe you are the only one who's crazy!" This made Li Yi look embarrassed!

He still doesn't know the virtues of his son. Even if he is given a piece of meat, he may not be able to cook it well or make such beautiful food unless the sun rises from the west.

Zhang Yuehong was afraid that the two men were going up against each other again, so she hurriedly came out to smooth things over and said, "Okay, stop talking, hurry up and try to see if this food is delicious!"

Then, under Zhang Yuehong's greeting, all five members of the family came to the table, and then everyone picked up a large enamel bowl and started eating.

The fiery red spicy pepper fully opens up the taste buds, and the cool and smooth cold skin drives away the heat!

The first time they ate cold skin, both Li Shankui and his wife and Li Na almost swallowed their tongues. It was so delicious.

Even Tang Xue, who lives in Qin Province, felt that the cold skin made by Li Yi was more authentic than many old chefs, and he ate a big bowl of it.

"So you really made this thing?" Li Shankui asked with confusion.

"I made it, how does it taste?"

"Well, it's okay!"

Seeing the confused expression on her father's face, Li Na tilted her mouth and said, "What do you mean it's okay? This cold cold skin is so delicious. With my brother's skills, even if he sets up a stall in the county, it's not bad." I can support myself!"

When Li Yi heard this, an idea flashed in his mind, and he seemed to have found the password to open the door to wealth.
