The ancient daily life of a farmer's daughter-in-law

Chapter 127

After sorting out the recipe, Li Qingnuan found a sunny day and began to think about noodles.Anyone who has made dried noodles at home knows that when the thin noodles cut by themselves are pulled down with a wooden stick, they often break due to uneven force, and when making pulled noodles, the noodles are not easy to break no matter how thin they are.In addition to the quality of the noodles, this is more due to the addition of a natural graying agent to the ramen.The ash agent is obtained by burning the ash of the ash grass.In the past, the peasants were poor and reluctant to buy soda noodles, so they would use this ash agent to steam steamed buns and boil beans.Li Qingnuan knew that this thing was worthless, and it looked black and yellowish, but with its surface, it could achieve the effect of being as thin as cotton thread.Otherwise, how could there be a saying that ramen is a nest in the future!

More importantly, this fluffy grass ash will not affect the taste.

After the reconciled two bowls of noodles woke up, Li Qingnuan pulled down the softness of the noodles.When the shape of thin noodles came out, she quickly asked Tian Tieshi to help hang them on the noodle rack.

This noodle rack was nailed by Tian Tieshi himself according to his wife's request. The four round wooden sticks protruding from the top hang the stretched noodles, and the roots below are pressed down with stones to prevent skewing.It looks pretty decent.

Put the shelf in a ventilated place where it can see the sun, and it will be half dry by the end of the day.

There are many cats and dogs running around in the village, especially the big cats, who run around regardless of who they are at night.In order to avoid them from spoiling things, Li Qingnuan moved the shelf into the east room at night.

Early the next morning, Li Qingnuan, who was thinking about dried noodles, woke up at dawn.She poked the bronzed chest of the man beside her, said a few words, then put on her clothes and tidied up a bit, and went to the east room.

After a day and a night of drying, the fine noodles have been air-dried.Smelling from a distance, there is also an aroma of noodles.

Li Qingnuan almost burst into tears when he saw the noodles that were similar to what he had imagined.She pulled off some dried noodles, and frivolously scooped up some sauerkraut and duck intestines, and cooked a pot of hot and sour dried noodle soup.

It smells really delicious.Didn't Tian Tieshi, who had just opened the house and opened the door, grinned and sniffed as soon as he arrived at the door of the kitchen, and praised the fragrance of his wife's cooking.

Just like that, Li Qingnuan's dried noodles and duck intestines were ready.She was very thoughtful, and specially used the wrapping paper for candies and pastries bought during the Chinese New Year to pack the bread into handfuls, and then used a small oiled paper bag to wrap a little bit of the spicy fermented soy sauce that she had made before as toppings.It looks clean and functional.

As for the price, she set it at fifteen cents a catty.Because a catty of white noodles costs nine cents, you can produce a catty of four taels of fine dried noodles.Adding salt, fermented soybean seasoning for cooking noodles, oil paper for packaging, batter, and the wages of one person per catty, the cost is only about ten yuan per catty.This is not counting the labor cost reduced by more production in the future.

Li Qingnuan gave some dried noodles to his sister-in-law and Lin's family respectively, and both sides responded well, especially Mrs. He directly said that this thing is most practical during busy farming season.You must know that when farming and harvesting wheat and corn, many people basically cook a meal in the morning in order to grab time to grab the wheat field.But at that time, women would feel sorry for men who went to the fields to do coolies, regardless of eggs or meat, but they were the most willing to spend money.If you have this kind of noodles, you only need to boil them with boiling water and pickles to eat, which not only saves time, but also relieves the hunger of farmers. Compared with cold eggs, it is not expensive.

Thinking about the news he got from his sister-in-law, Li Qingnuan thought that this is also a good market.Besides, I will give birth by myself in a month, so I can't just rely on that idiot Tian Tieshi to cook for me every day.Get some dried noodles, even if my sister-in-law comes to serve me, it will save me some trouble.

When Li Qingnuan made a basket of duck intestines into spicy appetizers, the small market in this town would come to an end.

Originally, Li Qingnuan planned to keep his man as company, and the two of them went to the small tavern in the town to see if they could sell it.But Tian Tieshi refused to agree to her words, not because he was afraid that he would hurt his wife's heart if he didn't have a sale, but because his sister-in-law He's repeated orders not to let him take his daughter-in-law to the town.It is said that it is the last month of pregnancy for a woman, so she must be most cautious.

In the end, Li Qingnuan was so persuaded that he had no choice but to agree to let Tian Tieshi and his eldest brother go to explore the way first, and if they couldn't, they asked Zhao Tieniu to set up a way.

Li Qingnuan breathed a sigh of relief when his man and elder brother left with a few bowls of spicy duck intestines and wrapped noodles.In fact, she is not sure whether this thing can be sold.But looking back, now that it’s cold, I’m not afraid of breaking it, and if I can’t sell it, I’ll keep it for myself.Anyway, my daughter loves spicy food.

Knowing that her brother-in-law was not at home, Mrs. He brought tiger-toed shoes for her little niece after cleaning up the stove at home.After a while, Lin Yueniang also came with a few eggs.
