Border Cook

Chapter 279 Sliced ​​Noodles
Zhang Chunwang, "..."

This approach doesn’t seem right!

Zhang Chunwang gritted his teeth and said, "I won't go!"

He just acted arrogantly and let his dog bite someone, and now he is going to apologize. What's the big deal? Does he have no shame?

"If you don't want to go, I'll break your legs and have someone carry you there!" Zhang's father shouted angrily, not giving Zhang Chunwang any chance to refute.

Zhang Chunwang knew his father's temper and understood that he couldn't avoid this matter. He hesitated for a long time before reluctantly agreeing, "Let's go!"

A good man does not suffer immediate losses.

Seeing his son was extremely unhappy, Zhang's father immediately said earnestly, "When you are under someone's roof, you must bow your head. I have taught you this many times, why can't you remember it?"

"When you can be a bully, be a bully. When you can't be a bully, just keep your tail between your legs and behave yourself. This is the way to survive, and it's also the way to protect your family property and make money. Don't try to hit stones with eggs, but don't take the straw seriously. You still have to step on it!"

"Remember no!"

Zhang Chunwang curled his lips, "Wouldn't that make me look spineless and embarrassing?"

The clay man still has some blood in him, what has he become?

"Integrity, face?" Zhang's father snorted coldly and rolled his eyes at Zhang Chunwang several times. "Can you eat or drink? Remember, these two are the most useless things in the world!"

Isn’t it good to be more practical in life?

Taking advantage of this opportunity, it would be a good idea to cling to someone who is important to you. That would be the right thing to do!

After leaving Zhangjiazhuang, Lu Qiyan went all the way to the orchard.

Zhangjiazhuang was quite close to the orchard, and they arrived there in less than half an hour.

In March, the weather is getting warmer and buds have grown on the branches of the peach trees. In some warm places near the houses, the buds have quietly bloomed, a sea of ​​pink, pleasing to the eye.

Lu Qiyan dismounted and headed towards the house.

Guo Kanglai saw the stranger coming and hurried forward, "Who are you and what are you doing here?"

"I passed by here and saw the peach blossoms in full bloom, so I wanted to ask for one. Is it possible?" After Lu Qiyan said this, he took out his purse, took out a small piece of silver and handed it over.

The ultimate goal of an orchard is to make money. It doesn't matter what is sold, as long as it is reasonable and legal.

This was the idea and principle that Guo Kanglai and Xia Mingyue had previously discussed when they were discussing the future development and management of the orchard. The specific matters will be decided by Guo Kanglai based on the circumstances and will be dealt with accordingly.

Seeing that peach blossoms can be exchanged for money, Guo Kanglai naturally did not refuse, "The peach blossoms here can also be sold. Since you want to buy some, just pick one and I will pick it for you."

"Thank you." Lu Qiyan paid the money and picked a branch that was full of flowers, some of which were in bloom and the rest were in bud.

"You have good taste. You can enjoy the flowers now and for a long time." Guo Kanglai smiled and took the scissors to cut the branches and handed them to Lu Qiyan. He said, "The peach and apricot flowers in this orchard will bloom soon. It's a good time to enjoy the flowers. You may want to talk to your relatives and friends. If you are interested, you can come here to enjoy the flowers. The price is very reasonable."

Then I can sell some peach blossoms and get a good income. Maybe I can even sell some peaches and pears in advance.

Isn't this business something that can be done for a long time?
Seeing that Guo Kanglai had a lot of ideas in business and worked very diligently, Lu Qiyan felt relieved and agreed with a smile, "I will definitely tell people I know."

"Thank you." "Goodbye."

Lu Qiyan jumped on the horse, holding the peach branch in his hand, and galloped away again.

We went all the way to the county town, and when we got home, it was already dark.

Everyone had finished dinner, and the people in the central kitchen had all gone home. Jiang Zhuguo and Zhuang Cui had also finished all the chores and returned to the house.

Xia Mingyue was sitting in the main room reading a storybook. When she saw Lu Qiyan coming in with a chill all over his body, she stood up quickly and poured him a cup of hot tea. "You're back. Have you had dinner?"

"I just finished my work and haven't had time to eat yet."

To be exact, he had been running all the way and hadn't even had lunch, so he was starving and his chest was almost sticking to his back.

After Lu Qiyan finished speaking, he handed the peach blossom to Xia Mingyue, "When I came back, I saw that some flowers were in full bloom, so I picked one and brought it back. You can keep it for the vase."

The peach blossoms were fragrant and lush, and Xia Mingyue was very happy to see them. "I just happened to get a white porcelain vase a few days ago, which is perfect for arranging flowers."

As she spoke, Xia Mingyue took out the porcelain bottle, poured some water into it, and put the flowers in.

The size is right and the colors are very coordinated.

Xia Mingyue was quite satisfied and placed the flowers and the vase on the coffee table next to the kang in the inner room, which was leaning against the window.

Standing facing the window, it looks particularly beautiful against the fine wooden lattice windows, the light beige curtains hung by Xia Mingyue, and the warm yellow candlelight at this time.

Xia Mingyue liked this branch of peach blossom very much. She looked at it carefully from top to bottom for a long time, moved the vase again and again, and even reached out to fiddle with the flowers on the branch, smiling with her eyes curved.

After a long time, she said happily, "I'll make something for my husband."

"Okay." Lu Qiyan's eyes were also full of smiles.

They had pulled noodles for lunch, and the noodle stew was made with the braised pork stew made by Lou Shanzi. It was rich in flavor and had a great aftertaste. Everyone praised it highly. Xia Mingyue also approved of it and even left a large portion for Lu Qiyan so that she could cook for him when he came back in the afternoon.

Seeing that Lu Qiyan seemed extremely hungry at this time, Xia Mingyue gave up on the relatively thin pulled noodles and decided to make knife-cut noodles instead.

It is said that knife-cut noodles originated in the Yuan Dynasty. The dough must first be kneaded into a long oval shape, and then the noodles are cut from top to bottom with a knife, one by one, directly into the boiling pot.

The noodles are cut evenly, like willow leaves, thin and tough, with a chewy, soft and smooth texture. They are not only delicious but also easy to digest.

In modern society, knife-cut noodles were not a dish in Xia Mingyue's restaurant, but it was a home-cooked meal that she often used to treat herself. Therefore, she liked knife-cut noodles very much and had mastered the skill of making them.

After trying a few times, Xia Mingyue was able to skillfully cut into thin noodles.

As Xia Mingyue cut the noodles, the noodles flew into the pot one by one, like dancing white ribbons. Once in the pot, they rolled continuously with the water.

After all the noodles were cut, Xia Mingyue put a handful of green vegetables into the pot. When the noodles were cooked, she scooped them out and put them into a bowl. She poured enough noodle sauce on them, put in two braised eggs, sprinkled with a handful of chopped green onions and coriander, and a bowl of fragrant knife-cut noodles was served on the table.

Xia Mingyue cut the braised donkey meat that had been soaking in the braising pot into a plate, mixed it with some almond mustard greens and served them as a side dish for Lu Qiyan's noodles.

The donkey meat is tender and fragrant, the mustard greens are fresh and refreshing, and the most important thing is the fragrant sliced ​​noodles in the bowl, which are fragrant and delicious, smooth in the mouth, chewy and delicious...
