Abandoned peasant woman in the prosperous world

Chapter 86 Parting ways (1)
"What are you doing?" Qin Yuyao walked into the yard and asked.

Bao'er raised his head and said seriously: "Mother, we are giving Xiaobai a bath." Holding a piece of creamy soap, he wiped it on the struggling Xiaobai, muttering: "Xiaobai, Be good, don't move, your body won't itch after washing."

Seeing this scene, Qin Yuyao raised her eyebrows, and looked at Ren Feiye who was squatting opposite Bao'er.I saw Ren Feiye sullenly, holding back a smile, met Qin Yuyao's eyes, and winked at her.

These two had a great time.Qin Yuyao shook her head amusedly, and went into the room to cook.

Today, with Ren Feiye's great bargain, he had to get two good dishes.Qin Yuyao put the garlic sprouts and coriander on the stove, and looked out through the window, the Xiushui River sparkling in the sun.Qin Yuyao wanted to catch two fish very much, as the saying goes "no fish can't make a feast", you must have fish when entertaining distinguished guests.

However, in front of Ren Feiye, it seemed that it was not good to roll up his trousers.After all, this is not a modern place, and men and women still have to be more cautious.What's more, if Ren Feiye sees her spearfishing method, I'm afraid it will cause another burst of surprise.After thinking about it, he shook his head and let go of the thought.

There are also some fried pork and beef at home, but they can also make two dishes.Qin Yuyao looked at the ingredients on the stove, and planned to make a stewed potato with twice-cooked pork and beef.She looked outside the yard and saw the two servants guarding the carriage, um, let's have beef ramen again.

Just do it, Qin Yuyao opened the bag of noodles, and took out a piece of hard noodles.Put it into a basin, add half a scoop of water into it, knead and stir it together, then start pouring flour into the basin little by little, and start kneading the dough.

For beef noodles, when kneading the noodles, pay attention to "three times of water, three times of ashes, and ninety-nine and eighty-one times of kneading".The ash is the flour alkali. When kneading the dough, you must add water at least three times, three times the flour alkali, and spend a lot of effort to knead the dough to make the dough pliable and chewy.

After the dough is reconciled, it needs to be left for about two quarters of an hour, which is called wake up.Qin Yuyao put the kneaded dough into the basin, and while she was waking up the noodles, she planned to stir-fry the twice-cooked pork first.

The steps of twice-cooked pork are relatively simple. First, pour a few scoops of water into the pot, and cook on a high fire under the pot.At the same time, Qin Yuyao peeled off a white garlic clove, smashed it with the back of a knife, then cut the onion and ginger into pieces, waited for the water in the pot to boil, grabbed a handful of peppercorns, and poured them into the pot together.

Cook for half an hour, remove the onion, ginger, garlic and peppercorns, put in the sliced ​​radish and cook, add a little salt.Serve the pork cubes that have been sitting in the shade, slice each piece, pour into the pan, roll a few times, and then fish out.

Clean up the soup in the pot, boil it dry and pour in the oil.When the oil is hot, wash the garlic sprouts and cut them obliquely into diamond shapes.At this time, the oil was already hot, and Qin Yuyao poured the sliced ​​meat into the pan and began to stir-fry.Stir-fry until the meat slices are rolled, then pour a little soy sauce for coloring, and then add a little sugar to enhance the taste.

Finally, add the garlic sprouts, stir-fry until they are raw, add a little salt and stir-fry for a few times, then take it out of the pan.

"Wow, it smells so good!" At this moment, Ren Feiye poked his head in, stretching his neck like a greedy cat.

Bao'er hugged Xiaobai who was wet all over and followed behind, proudly said: "My mother's cooking is the best."

"Really? Then you are really happy." Ren Feiye looked down at Bao'er and said with a smile.

Bao'er pursed the corners of her lips, a little shy, but she couldn't hide the pride and complacency in her eyes.

After frying the twice-cooked pork, Qin Yuyao brought out another bowl of beef, leaving one-third for ramen and the other two-thirds for stewing potatoes.Peel and cut the potatoes, cut the onion, ginger and garlic, wait until the oil in the pot is hot, and then start to wave the spatula.

"Bao'er, your mother is really amazing!" Ren Feiye sincerely praised Qin Yuyao's neat and powerful technique.

Bao'er's face was full of pride at this time, and her little face was raised even higher.

Qin Yuyao turned her head to look at the two of them, smiled and shook her head, stuffed a handful of firewood into the bottom of the pot, and started to simmer.Because the beef is already fried, so you only need to wait for the potatoes to be cooked through.Not long after, the delicious beef and potatoes were served.

After finishing these two dishes, almost two quarters of an hour have passed, and it's time to make ramen.Qin Yuyao washed her hands, pulled out the dough from the basin, threw it on the chopping board, and began pounding, kneading, stretching, and throwing repeatedly.

This step is called slipping.Qin Yuyao put the dough on the board, held both ends of the strip with both hands, lifted it up and beat it hard on the board.After stretching, fold the two ends in half, and continue to hold the two ends and beat.Finally, knead into long strips and pull them into round strips with thick thumbs and long chopsticks.

Put the smooth noodles on the chopping board and sprinkle with clear oil.Hold the two ends of the noodles with both hands, stretch both arms evenly and accelerate outward, then fold the two ends in half, place both ends in the finger crevice of one hand at the same time, hook the other end with the middle finger of the other hand facing down, and turn the palm upwards. Form the noodles into a noose shape, while stretching with both hands to the sides.

After the noodles are elongated, put the end hooked by the right hand on the left finger, and continue to hook the other end with the right hand to stretch.This neat and handsome movement made Ren Feiye, who was standing at the door, open his mouth in astonishment.

It turns out that noodles can still be eaten like this?

In this era, the way people eat noodles is to knead the dough, press it into pancakes with a rolling pin, and then cut them into thin strips with a knife.Put it in water and cook it, then take it out and eat it.Have you ever seen Qin Yuyao's steps as complicated as a big dish?
Ren Feiye was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, remembering that even the snails can be made so delicious by Qin Yuyao, he wondered how delicious the complicated noodles would be?Thinking of this, I couldn't help swallowing.

After the noodles are pulled, it is time to cook the soup.Qin Yuyao sliced ​​the remaining one-third of the beef cubes in the bowl, poured a few scoops of water into the pot, added star anise, ginger peel, salt, etc., and brought it to a boil.After skimming off the oil foam that floats on top, put the noodles in and sprinkle with radish slices when they are half cooked.

Then chopped scallions and coriander were placed in a bowl, and the clear soup was poured in first, and then the noodles were poured into the bowl.The steps are somewhat different from the modern Lanzhou ramen, but due to limited conditions, this is the only way Qin Yuyao can think of.However, even so, Ren Feiye was still amazed.

"Both of you, go wash your hands and get ready to eat." Qin Yuyao stood in front of the stove, with her back to Ren Feiye and Bao'er, said while scooping noodles into a bowl.

"Mother, I've already washed it." Bao'er raised Bai Shengsheng's two little hands and said in a soft voice.

Qin Yuyao turned her head to look, and saw that it was indeed the case, the two had washed their hands at some point, and they were sitting at the table at this moment, raising their faces and looking over here, as if they were waiting to eat.

"Then let's have dinner." Qin Yuyao served twice-cooked pork, beef stewed potatoes, and three bowls of beef ramen in turn, then took three pairs of washed chopsticks, glanced outside, and said: "The two little boys outside Brother, don’t let them come over to eat?”
