Chapter 185 Hand-rolled Noodles
They put the picked amaranth into a vegetable bowl, waiting to be made into dinner.
The dinner was very sumptuous, with cold-boiled amaranth, cold-boiled mung bean jelly, scrambled eggs with oyster mushrooms, stir-fried lard with green onions, stir-fried loofah with pork slices, and a delicious mushroom soup and mung bean residue pancake.
Because there was so much more work to do at home, everyone was busy except Zhou Mingyuan and Zhou Minghua.
Only during the meal time can everyone slow down the overall pace and relax.
It took three times to make six buckets of mung bean jelly, and now it is lying obediently in the bucket waiting to cool down and take shape.
The remaining work is to wash the mushrooms and then dry them in the sun.
"Grandma, do we need to collect the wheat that's drying in the sun?"
Placing it like this in the yard is actually a bit of a nuisance.
"Yeah, put it away. There isn't a lot to wash today, so just put it in the big basin for now. We'll have to pull it out and dry it tomorrow."
Old Mrs. Zhou and others were cleaning the table, while Zhou Mingshu and his children were busy, slowly collecting the wheat into the wooden basin.
This mat can be used to place mushrooms.
Excluding those that were eaten, each person got about half a basket of the remaining mushrooms. We squatted together and finished processing them in less than half an hour.
After I finished cutting the mushrooms, the sun had just set and there was still nearly an hour before dark.
This little time is enough for Zhou Mingshu to help everyone review their lessons.
It's just the right time to deepen everyone's impression.
Early the next morning, Zhou Mingshu stretched and got up.
There was a constant "rustling" sound coming from the yard. Zhou Mingshu combed his hair in confusion and went out.
It turned out that my aunt and mother were washing the green onions and coriander.
"Saya, you're up. We're not in a hurry to leave. Don't panic. Just pack slowly."
"Well, I see."
The nature of doing business among one's own family is completely different from that of Zhou Lao Er and Zhou Lao San carrying heavy responsibilities for others.
You can go whenever you want, when you finish your own business, but if you want to work for someone else, you have to arrive early in the morning and be selected by the manager. If you go late, you won't get a share at all.
Zhou Mingshu yawned twice and began to wash his face and rinse his mouth.
Seeing that breakfast was not ready yet, she took her shoes and clothes to the back of the house to wash them.
I took a look at the fish basket and saw several loaches in it. It would be good to cook some loach soup. I can ask my father to come and collect them later.
Early in the morning, the air in Lianglin Village was very good. Every breath of air inhaled was cool and refreshing.
She came back carrying the basin, and could just see the wasteland next door from the door.
A small area on it has been treated, and that piece of land has been completely turned over. No matter what is planted, it will grow well.
"Grandma, have you started tilling the soil? Have you applied fertilizer?"
Looking at the newly turned soil, there seemed to be nothing else on it.
"No, there is no such thing as that much fertilizer at home. Even if there is some, most of it is spread on the ground."
"Oh, then let's go to the mountains and carry some. The rotten branches and leaves on the mountains should be quite fertile. Why didn't I think of it before? If I had thought of it earlier, we could have spread it on the ground."
"Haha, that's right. If you want to transport some, just do it. This way, the vegetables you grow will be more and bigger."
Mrs. Zhou has already kneaded the dough in her hands. The next step is to pinch the dough into pieces, roll it out, and then cut it into noodles.
Zhou Mingshu was watching this great project from the side. This is how hand-rolled noodles are made. The taste is something that can never be compared to machine-made noodles.
"San Ya, don't just stand there in a daze. Go to the backyard and help me pick some greens, then wake up your elder sister and the others."
"I'll go right away."
Zhou Mingshu reached out and picked up a bowl of vegetables from the table and went over. As soon as she arrived at the backyard, she saw that everyone had already gotten up and there was no need for her to shout.
"We're having noodles this morning, and they're going to be put into the pot soon, so hurry up and wash up."
Zhou Mingqi yawned as he passed by her.
"Saya, how can you get up so early every day and still be so energetic? I really admire you."
"Haha, when I think about making a lot of money every day, I stop dreaming and can open my eyes quickly, and I feel energetic."
"That's a good idea. I'll try it tomorrow."
Several people went to the front yard, and Zhou Mingshu continued to pull the green vegetables.
This little green vegetable was planted a while ago. It has only grown to the size of a palm now. It is very tender all over, so Zhou Mingshu picked some more.
The little donkey under the donkey shed kept snorting, trying to attract Zhou Mingshu's attention.
Zhou Mingshu smiled. She was going to turn a blind eye to it, but in the end she couldn't bear it.
She picked a few leaves that had been eaten by the caterpillars and fed them to the donkey with her own hands.
Then he took the basin and went to the front yard.
The roots of this small green vegetable can be twisted off with a little force, and then after washing them one by one, they are all thrown into the pot by Old Mrs. Zhou.
"Let's have a delicious meal today!"
Old Mrs. Zhou said this, and then Zhou Mingshu watched her take out a jar of mushroom sauce from the kitchen storage room and scoop out a large bowl of mushroom sauce from it.
It turned out that grandma was planning this, Zhou Mingshu smiled.
"Whoever wants to eat can add as much as they want, and we'll make new ones when they're all gone."
As soon as the noodles were put into the pot, Zhou Mingshu picked up her bowl and added a lot of mushroom sauce. She liked it very much and then peeled two cloves of garlic to eat with it. It was really delicious.
After consuming a large bowl of soup, she added another spoonful of noodles to the original mushroom sauce soup base, and that was the limit of her appetite.
"Dad, I looked at the fish basket while I was washing clothes just now. There are a few loaches in it. Remember to catch them after dinner. I will cook loach soup for everyone when I come back."
"okay, I get it."
Zhou Mingshu was not idle after dinner. The garlic on the chopping board had not been chopped yet, so she helped chop it.
It is quite troublesome to prepare these fresh ingredients, and the one kitchen knife at home is not enough.
"Grandma, let's prepare two more kitchen knives. One is definitely not enough."
"I have another one at home, but it hasn't been used for a few years. Boss, why don't you take it to town and let the blacksmith do something with it?"
"Row."
After finishing the noodle soup in the bowl, Old Mrs. Zhou went to the storage room to look for the kitchen knife.
Early in the morning, I have to chop green onions, coriander, and mince garlic, so it is necessary to prepare a handful.
The other ingredients are fine, no need to bother.
After everything was packed up, the sun was slowly rising from the top of the mountain.
Boss Zhou got on the donkey cart, picked up the whip, and drove the donkey cart away.
