Seductive Queen, I'm hungry again!

Chapter 183 Tell me a secret (one update, please subscribe!)

Hao Chi accidentally talked too much about stewed pork vermicelli, and then realized belatedly that there is no vermicelli in this time and space!

The folks don't know what vermicelli are at all, so how could they create a folk proverb like "Pork stewed vermicelli-kejinzao"!
After being asked by Long Chenxiu, Hao Chi was really a little dazed, but luckily now she doesn't have to be afraid of imperial power, so she rolled her eyes and started talking nonsense.

She mysteriously lowered her voice and whispered in Long Chenxiu's ear: "Hey, Chenxiu, I want to tell you a secret! I only told you when I was on my own, so please don't tell anyone else. Ha, otherwise everyone will think I have hysteria."

Long Chenxiu felt that Hao Chi's hot breath made his ears itchy, and his heart also itched. He really wanted to pull her into his arms to relieve the itching.

But as soon as she heard that she had a secret to tell him, he immediately lost the itch and looked at her intently, wanting to know what kind of secret could make her so nervous.

Hao Chi looked around to make sure there was no one in the room, so he "confided everything" to Long Chenxiu.

"I once had a very, very long dream. In the dream, an old fairy took me to a strange place, and then I lived there for many years."

"I was an apprentice to a chef at that place, and then I learned many weird dishes from him. The vermicelli I just told you about was learned there!"

After finishing speaking, Hao Chi looked at the strange looking Long Chenxiu nervously with a sullen face, "Uh, you won't lock me up as a monster, will you?"

Long Chenxiu looked at her without saying a word, his face was dark and unclear, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Hao Chi regretted it a little at this moment, did she go too far with nonsense?
Did Long Chenxiu not believe it or was he afraid?
Alas, it seems that the ancients all believed in strange powers and chaotic gods. Could Long Chenxiu think the same way?

Just when Hao Chi was worried, Long Chenxiu suddenly touched Hao Chi's pale face lovingly, "Chi Chi, don't worry, why would I treat you as a monster. In my opinion, you should She must be a little fairy!"

Ga?
Hao Chi was dumbfounded, where did he say this?

"When you're talking about dreaming, don't you mean the time when you fall asleep every year on your birthday?"

Long Chenxiu's question immediately found the most reasonable explanation for Hao Chi's "lie"!
Hao Chi didn't expect that Long Chenxiu's brains were bigger than his own, and he was able to link these two things together.

But then I thought about it again, that's fine, if I fall asleep every year on my birthday, it will be a perfect explanation.

Save yourself from being frightened, and others will make a fuss.

So Hao Chi nodded, "Well, it might have been at that time. But it wasn't just at that time. I have often had such dreams since I was a child. Every time I dreamed, I would go to that strange place, and then Learned a lot of dishes."

As the saying goes, if you tell a lie, you need to use countless lies to "complete the lie".Hao Chi is like this now, trying his best to make up that lie seamlessly.

In this way, if there is any brain twitch in the future, such as saying the wrong thing or cooking the wrong food, it can be pushed to the dream.

After hearing Hao Chi's words, Long Chenxiu looked at her with even more distressed eyes, "Poor Chi Chi, you have been bearing such a secret all by yourself, it's really hard work! You can tell me anything in the future, I will I will never let you be afraid again!"

As he said, he took Hao Chi's little hand, held it firmly, and placed it on his chest, "Don't worry, I will protect you well in the future!"

Hao Chi was so touched, his eyes were red and his cheeks were also red, "Well, I believe in you!"

"Then tell me what those vermicelli are?" Long Chenxiu didn't want to make Hao Chi feel uncomfortable again, so he changed the subject.

Sure enough, Hao Chi regained his energy immediately, and explained it to Long Chenxiu in detail.

"According to the different raw materials, there are many types of vermicelli. The most common ones are sweet potatoes and potatoes, and my favorite is potato vermicelli." Hao Chi said happily.

Long Chenxiu interjected puzzledly: "Why? Are there any differences in the potato vermicelli?"

Hao Chi said: "Potato vermicelli is whiter in color, while sweet potato vermicelli is darker and blackened, so I prefer potato vermicelli."

In fact, another reason is that in her previous life, her hometown was rich in potatoes, but sweet potatoes were relatively rare, so Hao Chi was more used to eating potato vermicelli.

"There are many ways to eat vermicelli. After soaking, stir-fry, eat with cold salad, or stew, they are very delicious, especially stewed pork vermicelli. That is one of the favorite delicacies of the people in the place in my dream."

In fact, it is not wrong to say that it is a place in a dream. For Hao Chi, everything in the previous life is already like a dream.

If it wasn't for her cooking skills, clear memory, and many concepts that are incompatible with this world, sometimes Hao Chi would really suspect that her so-called past life was nothing more than a dream.

Long Chenxiu didn't know what she really thought in her heart, but he just became very interested in the vermicelli, "How to make potato vermicelli? Can you make it?"

Hao Chi recalled for a while, and said: "The main steps of making vermicelli are selecting ingredients and extracting vermicelli, mixing ingredients, adding alum and kneading noodles, boiling water to drain noodles, cold bath to dry noodles, and packaging. It is not difficult to say that it is difficult, just Just a little trouble."

Speaking of this, Hao Chi actually wanted to make vermicelli by himself, so he immediately said to Long Chenxiu, "Why don't we make some vermicelli together, we can eat it in less than two days."

Long Chenxiu also became interested, "Okay, I will do it with you."

As a result, a "shocking" scene appeared in the palace: the emperor ignored political affairs, and started working with Hao Chi instead.

He ordered someone to bring ten catties of potato starch from the Imperial Dining Room, add seven catties of warm water to make a slurry, then pour boiling water into the basin from the middle, and quickly stir it in one direction with a wooden stick until it becomes very viscous. Tuan, this is Gorgon.

Grind Erqian alum into flour and put it into the basin, then pour the beaten gorgon into it, stir evenly, and then put it in a warm place to ferment and decompose the remaining starch.

After the starch dumplings are ready, add water to the pot to [-]% full and bring to a boil.

Then put the starch ball into an iron leaking machine with a hole and squeeze it hard.Speaking of this noodle making machine, Hao Chi usually used it to make glutinous rice noodles, and now it is also very suitable for making vermicelli, which made her very happy.

The vermicelli is leaked into the boiling water pot, and the water in the pot is always kept at the initial water level, and the water in the pot is controlled at a slightly open level.

Take the vermicelli that has leaked into the boiling water pot, gently remove it and put it in a cold water sink, put it on a stick, put it in cold water for a quarter of an hour, take it out and put it on a shelf in the kitchen.

After finishing these things, Long Chenxiu felt a sense of accomplishment, and it was the first time for him to personally participate in this kind of activity.

"Chi Chi, the vermicelli is ready, you can eat it, go and make me the stewed pork vermicelli." Long Chenxiu couldn't wait, thinking that the food made by himself should taste particularly delicious.

No idea, but Hao Chi shook his head and said: "It's not enough, the vermicelli should be dried in the kitchen for an hour to strengthen its toughness. Then hang it in the sun to dry, when it becomes [-]% dry, shrink it into a pile and remove the vermicelli. Stick it to dry it. You can’t eat it until it’s completely dry!”

Long Chenxiu's face fell when he heard it, "Oh - it will take a long time to eat it!"

Hao Chi smiled and said, "It won't take long, I guess we can eat it in two or three days."

Now is the midsummer season, the weather is very dry, and the vermicelli is dried very quickly!

In fact, the best season to make vermicelli is autumn, when it dries faster.But they do little, just eat by themselves, and there is nothing serious about it.

When Long Chenxiu heard this time, a look of anticipation appeared on his face again.

"Then I'll be waiting for you to cook delicious food for me!"

"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be full when the time comes!" Hao Chi said with a smile.

The two handed over the vermicelli to the maids to take care of it, so that they wouldn't get dirty by flies, birds and beasts.

Then Long Chenxiu took Hao Chi back to the house, and the two drank tea and chatted, spending the afternoon leisurely.

Three days later, the vermicelli was completely dried, Hao Chi excitedly took a bundle and soaked it in water to make stewed pork vermicelli.

When Long Chenxiu saw this step, he asked very puzzled: "Chi Chi, this vermicelli needs to be soaked after drying, why not just eat it right after it's ready?"

Hao Chi was taken aback, she really hadn't thought about this question, because she had never seen anyone eat freshly pressed vermicelli!

After thinking for a while, she said, "It should be that the vermicelli tastes better after drying. Or, next time we make vermicelli, let's make some and try it first?"

Long Chenxiu agreed, "Okay, next time we make it, let's try how the fresh vermicelli tastes. Then you should hurry up and make me pork stewed vermicelli."

Hao Chi agreed, and went to work in the kitchen.

Long Chenxiu was a little impatient, so he simply asked someone to move a small bench, and sat in the yard outside the kitchen, waiting for the dishes to be ready.

He is full of infinite expectations for this legendary delicacy!
　There will be more later!If you are sleepy, go to bed early. Going to bed before ten o'clock is good for your health!
