Siheyuan: Stab at Louzi at the beginning

Chapter 616 Egg Noodles

"Before, it was because I had never eaten meat, and I just wanted to eat the minced meat in the noodles. Now it's because I want to eat something light."

Sha Zhu did not answer this. Instead, he picked up two small green vegetables, plucked the leaves, washed them, and threw them into the boiling water.

The fat man also brought the noodles over at this time.

Take it out of the pot two minutes after putting it in the pot. Put two pieces of cooked green vegetable leaves in each bowl. You can even see a little oil in the noodle soup.

The aroma of noodles, eggs, vegetables and occasional aroma of oil, when combined together, the dish is perfect in color, aroma and taste.

To this, Xu Damao only wanted to say that he could eat two bowls.

Ma Hua handed over a plate of peeled garlic cloves at the right time, and Xu Damao waved his hand and asked him to take it back.

It doesn't matter if the fragrance is half reduced. The smell of garlic is too strong. It would be rude to talk to people.

Ordinary people may not pay attention to this, and Xu Damao doesn't care either. The problem is that he really doesn't like to eat it because he ate half a clove of garlic raw when he was a child, and it caused a burning pain in his stomach.

The doctor said it was the garlic that burned my heart and it would be fine in an hour or two.

It was good, but I still remember the feeling clearly.

Sha Zhu didn't hesitate to serve himself a bowl, and also reminded Fatty to close the door so that outsiders wouldn't see them cooking for themselves.

"Da Mao, what do you think of my cooking skills? Which one is better than the noodles with soybean paste that my father made?"

The two of them sat together and ate noodles, which gave Sha Zhu the feeling that they were getting closer. He stopped calling Director Xu and started calling him "Da Mao" instead.

Xu Damao didn't care much about this detail.

"If you've never eaten meat, then of course the noodles with minced meat taste better. You think egg noodles taste good because you've become a big fat man now and you eat a lot for lunch. This noodle is your after-meal snack, so of course you think it tastes better if it's lighter."

Sha Zhu touched his belly and said, "I don't think I've gained that much weight."

Xu Damao didn't want to say anything about this and just ate his noodles.

Ma Hua is a very honest person: "Master, you have gained at least 80 kilograms of weight in the past year. Before, you weighed at most 120 kilograms, but now you weigh at least 200 kilograms."

Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.

Sha Zhu was holding the egg noodles at the moment. He didn't know whether to eat it or not, but he would be missing out if he didn't eat it.

"Vegetarian noodles, vegetarian noodles. Eating these egg noodles won't make you fat. It's a shame to waste food."

After convincing myself in my heart, I still ate the bowl of noodles with determination.

"Ma Hua, if you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb. Just enjoy your noodles."

Xu Damao had already finished a bowl of egg noodles. He originally thought he could eat two bowls, but one bowl was enough for him. The alcohol had also worn off, and after he sobered up, he felt much better.

He didn't remember anything else, but he remembered how to make egg noodles.

“Where did you buy this noodle press?”

The more Xu Damao looked at it, the more he liked it. This was the thing his home was lacking. With this thing, he would be able to eat noodles at home in the future. Anyway, Qin Huairu didn't even go to work now, so she had nothing to do every day.

Some people may not have seen a 'noodle press'. If you have to describe it, it is a large rotating wheel driving a small gear, and the small gear drives two adjustable cylindrical stainless steel rollers. The gap in the middle is used to squeeze the dough into long sheets.

Generally, it is necessary to add white flour and squeeze it back and forth many times.

Below is a removable and adjustable 'tooth gear' that can roll the dough into noodles.

The structure is very simple. "I bought this from the logistics department. This thing is available in department stores. I don't know if it requires an industrial ticket. I heard it's quite expensive."

The main structure of this thing is made of pure stainless steel, especially the two cylindrical stainless steel rollers, which are pure solid. Steel is so important nowadays, so it is understandable that the price is a bit higher.

If the price is really cheap, then every household in a courtyard house should have one.

If you want to eat noodles now, you can only roll them into noodles with a rolling pin and then cut them into wide noodles with a knife, or you can directly cut the dough into noodles with a knife and put them into the pot.

For a family, especially one where the woman does not have a job, it can be said that it is not very practical and it just saves some trouble.

In addition, the price is high and ordinary families cannot afford white flour, which is why it has not been widely popularized.

"I'm going to buy one when I have time. With this, I can make egg noodles at home."

"You're already getting too gluttonous. Sister Qin is your nanny. Wouldn't it be nice to have Sister Qin make handmade noodles for you every day?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Qin Huairu is not my family's nanny. I'm just helping her. It's her fault that her family can't even afford to feed themselves and raise their children."

"Yes, yes, yes, look at my mouth."

Shazhu stopped chatting awkwardly and before he knew it, he had even finished the noodle soup in his bowl.

As soon as the empty bowl was placed on the table, his apprentice came over to take the bowl away and wash it, and also washed the pot clean.

"I know why you've gained weight. You don't even want to move before meals. You eat from a special stove and leave the cooking to your apprentice. The only thing missing is your apprentice feeding you personally. With your condition, it's not surprising that you've gained 300 pounds."

Looking at Sha Zhu's height and then thinking about how he weighed 300 pounds, Xu Damao almost laughed out loud.

When sold as pork, it can be sold for more than 200 yuan.

"Well, you are the director, you are right, I will start losing weight from tomorrow."

Xu Damao washed his hands and left the kitchen.

There was only one thing left for today, which was to hand over the supplies prepared by Liu Lan to her. They were not brought into the steel rolling mill, as it would easily cause criticism if others saw them, so they were still in the car outside the gate.

We went all the way to the breeding group office. This time was the quietest time for the breeding group.

Generally, we prepare the poultry for today's dinner in the morning, are busy feeding the chickens and ducks and collecting eggs in the morning, and have nothing to do in the afternoon.

Before, Qin Huairu would stay here until lunchtime and then go back to the courtyard. At that time, it was because she was not busy, and later it was because the factory leaders headed by Director Yang tacitly agreed.

Sure enough, Liu Lan was sitting in the office, holding a drawing in her hand and a new dictionary next to her, looking up something as she went along.

It's clearly an illustration, but I don't know what it's looking for.

"Director Xu, you're back."

Seeing Xu Damao coming back, Liu Lan put down the textbook in her hand and picked up the thermos to pour a glass of boiled water.

"Let's drink some water first. I just went to the boiler room to get some boiled water this morning. I opened the thermos cap on purpose. It's warm enough to drink directly now."

Originally Xu Damao thought it was nothing, but after Liu Lan said this, he suddenly felt guilty.

No matter what, Liu Lan is a good woman.

Since leaving the steel mill, they had fewer opportunities to meet each other. During those few months in the countryside, they basically didn't see each other.
