Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 211

Xiuyao rescued him: "Grandpa, Brother Xiaofei already knows a lot." She didn't explain where she got it from, anyway, it was from a book, so they couldn't let her take out the book.

Old Liutou laughed loudly: "That's right, your little brother Fei is really good now, and the planner is cracking, and the people who come to our mill all say that he is very good."

Liu Fei was shy and blushed, "Grandpa, I can keep accounts, so what's the big deal."

Liu Hongmu bit her lip and frowned, she was already very good at keeping accounts, okay? It’s really hypocritical after reading the book. Grandpa said all day that Liu Fei has learned manners after reading the book, and he is still considering whether to let him read it too. .When he looked at Xiuyao, he felt that she was different from other girls. The little girl knew so much, and she spoke politely.

After scooping up all the water, Xiuyao asked Liu Sheng to stretch out the big bundle prepared earlier and tie it to the four pillars.Lao Liutou asked him to tie it directly to four large iron hooks in a mill, which were specially used for grinding tofu and draining water.

Xiuyao asked someone to dig out the starch, put it on the big bag, and let it drip slowly.The burden is a cloth with relatively large holes woven with thick thread, which is specially used for making tofu.

Old Liutou looked at the bundles hung low and asked Xiuyao: "Girl, when will it be better? What else should we do?"

Xiuyao smiled and said, "Grandpa, don't be in a hurry, it will take a long time to eat tofu."

Not only Lao Liu was in a hurry, but others were also in a hurry. She said that she was making vermicelli, but it was clearly a mess. What kind of noodles were they?It has to be similar to noodles anyway.

Xiuyao smiled and said, "Grandpa, it must be similar, just wait and see."

After a night, Xiuyao went to the mill early the next day, and seeing Lao Liutou's red eyes and swollen eye bags, she couldn't help but concerned: "Grandpa, you didn't sleep."

Old Liutou wondered: "I was thinking about midnight."

Xiuyao burst out laughing, "Grandpa, it's not a snail girl, how could it come out by itself. We still have to process it."

Old Liutou urged him to hurry up, and Xiuyao asked someone to light a fire in the house to raise the temperature.She said to Lao Liutou: "Grandpa, in the future we will dry the gorgon powder in autumn, so we don't need to light a fire, and it can be dried in ten days."

The fire in the hut was very lively, and the gorgon powder had stopped dripping for a long time, and it dried quickly after being transpired by the high temperature.Xiuyao made it thinner again, but within two days, the dough was ready.

The old willow head squeezed it, and found that it was all scattered, and it became something like flour.He was surprised: "Yaoyao, there are so many sweet potato powders in our house, why don't we use that?"

Xiuyao laughed, "Grandpa, can sweet potato powder be used to make noodles?"

Old Liu thought for a while, then shook his head: "It doesn't seem like it will work, it will fall apart soon."

Xiuyao said: "Yes, that's why we're going to extract this gorgon powder." She looked at the time and said to Old Liu, "Grandpa, we're going to order vermicelli after lunch."

Old Liutou naturally agreed, he was very excited, since Xiuyao got him sweet potatoes and helped renovate the water mill, he was curious about Xiuyao, it just depends on what other interesting things this girl has.

Everyone ate a rough lunch, and then called a dozen big laborers, and Xiuyao ordered the vermicelli.

While wiping the dried sweet potatoes, Xiuyao asked Liu Sheng to take her to Laojie's blacksmith's shop in Yangjiatun to make a mold for making vermicelli.She modified what she had seen before, and now it is more convenient and easy to use, even a woman can do it.

Everyone was making vermicelli in the mill, a pot was always burning, and it was full of boiling water, gurgling and tumbling, and another large vat of cold water was just drawn from the spring and cooled.

Xiuyao and Lao Liutou first mixed the gorgon powder into a paste, then poured the gorgon powder into a large pot filled with dry gorgon powder, and then asked several people to keep rubbing the noodles together.She kept pinching non-stop, checking Xiuyao while pinching, and seeing that it was almost done, Xiuyao said: "The powder was successfully pinched, that's it."

Everyone was very happy, and waiting to see what happened next, Xiuyao asked Liu Sheng to stand on the table, holding a colander, and then she asked her grandpa to dig out a large ball of dough and put it at the bottom of the colander.Then cover the top layer, the upper colander lid has a handle, you can twist it all the time, you can slide it down, and then press the dough out into strips of vermicelli.

Seeing this, Xiuyao said to Liu Qi: "Brother, hurry up and take out the big chopsticks and put it in cold water!" Liu Qi and Liu Wuliang The man picked up the vermicelli with the long wooden chopsticks that Xiuyao asked someone to make, and put it in a cold water tank.

Xiuyao asked two other people to pick up the vermicelli from the cold water, then passed a wooden stick through it, and set it up to let the water drip.

The vermicelli was soon covered with small icicles, and Xiuyao asked someone to pull the vermicelli apart, so that there should be no sticking, so as not to become a lump in time.The cold water is cold, and everyone has to take turns to get vermicelli from the cold water, but they are very happy, and the heat is in full swing, so they don't feel so cold.

Someone quietly stuffed the vermicelli into his mouth, chewed it twice, and shouted: "Oh, it's so delicious, refreshing and chewy!"

Others also tried it one after another, and they all said it was delicious. Xiuyao smiled and said, "When tomorrow is ready, let's stew pork in a big pot so that everyone can eat enough." Only when they say it is delicious can they advertise. buy it.

Everyone applauds in unison.

The vermicelli was almost ready, so Xiuyao was carried into the temporary greenhouse when the water stopped dripping, and continued to hang in it to dry.Continue to live in the house, the temperature is very high, but within two hours, the vermicelli will be dry.

Xiuyao tried it and found it to be good.When everything was ready, she asked everyone to take it down and bundle it, and then weighed it.From one thousand catties of fresh sweet potatoes, more than 250 catties of noodles were produced, and finally a little more than two hundred catties of vermicelli were produced.

When doing this, Xiuyao paid attention to the fact that when outsiders came to help, they would only do one part, not all of them.And Xiuyao doesn't want to monopolize this technology, she just needs to monopolize it for a period of time.Adding sweet potatoes, she can make more money. After all, she is not the only one who can make this kind of thing called Suofen in ancient times, maybe someone else made it somewhere.

In the evening, Lao Liutou asked Liu Sheng to take out twenty catties of frozen meat, six pig's trotters, and forty catties of pig bones from his home, chop them into pieces, and stew them in a large pot. Xiuyao asked him to add more water.

"You can't add water in the middle of the stew, or it won't be fragrant." Everyone knows this, so they would rather start adding more water.

At about the same time, Chinese cabbage was thrown in again.After stewing for more than half an hour, the aroma of the meat had already wafted ten miles away, making everyone in the mill salivate.

Xiuyao asked Liu Qi to lift the pot. She looked at it and found that there was enough water. She asked her grandpa to add vermicelli into it, add a lot, and then cover it again and continue to fill the fire with firewood.

After another quarter of an hour or so, everyone couldn't bear it anymore and gathered outside the boy's room to wait for the meat.Those who came to help were carrying small pots, waiting to share them with their families at home.

Xiuyao estimated the heat, and shouted: "Okay, let's open the pot!"

Old Liutou yelled to open the pot, and Liu Sheng and Liu Qi lifted the lid of the cauldron. Suddenly, white air rose and the fragrance overflowed. Everyone couldn't help swallowing a big mouthful of saliva.

Lao Liutou estimated the meat in the pot and the number of people who came, first filled a big pot and put it next to his home to eat, and then began to share among others.

Each person has a small pot, with meat, bones, vermicelli, vegetables, and soup, and they are evenly divided.Someone couldn't help but took a bite of vermicelli first, sucked it into his mouth with a sip, it was so hot that hissed, chewed it, and couldn't help shouting, "It's so delicious!"

Others tasted it while swallowing their saliva. They all exclaimed that it was delicious, and couldn't help running home to share it with their families.

Old Liutou also celebrated it as a big event, asked someone to open the wine jar, and asked Qin Ye to drive a donkey cart to deliver a small pot to Mr. Ren, and brought Qin Yang back by the way, and then went home to fetch his grandma and elder brother My aunt, sister-in-law and Xiao Zhengzheng all came to pick me up, and the family celebrated in the mill.

The sleeping hut can’t hold so many people, but there is enough in the mill, so everyone sits around the big table, screaming and screaming after eating, and they all say it’s delicious.

Qin Yang's face was full of greasy food, and he lost the gentleness in the school: "Sister, sister, it's so delicious, I'm going to cry." As he spoke, he wiped his eyes, and they fell off. tears.By the way, the grievances of being scolded by the husband before and being beaten twice and not being able to speak out, are really delicious, and I don’t care about any grievances.

I just gave it to my husband, really, I should give it to him later, otherwise I won’t be beaten for nothing!He didn't dare to say this, otherwise he would have to be punished more. Now the family and Mr. Ren are all out of the same nostrils.

Seeing him crying, Xiuyao took out a handkerchief to wipe him off, and said with a smile, "Is it that delicious?"

Qin Yang sniffed, "Do you think there is?"

Everyone agrees: "Of course there is, it's so delicious!" After saying that, they hurried to put vermicelli in the basin, even ignoring the meat.

Yao shi laughed and said, "This vermicelli tastes better than meat."

Xiuyao smiled slightly, "Stew it in broth, the aroma of the meat will go into the vermicelli, so the vermicelli is even more delicious."

Xiao Zhengzheng has been picky eaters recently, and he doesn't want to eat in various ways. He is fighting wits and courage with Xiao Chen and Li. This time, he ate delicious vermicelli and a big steamed bun, leaning crookedly on Li's arms Li yelled that his stomach was bloated.

Mrs. Li rubbed his belly for him, and smiled lovingly, "What are you doing eating so much, it's not like you have nothing to eat."

After the meal, everyone sat together, talking and laughing happily, with constant laughter.

Seeing that the vermicelli was successful, Xiuyao went to the side to sum up, sum up the technology and see if it can be improved.Old Liutou called Liu Fei, came in with an abacus, and the three of them settled the accounts to see how much they could sell.
