Chapter 41
Wu San said: "Then have another bowl of lotus root noodles."

An Xu’s noodles here are all semi-dry noodles prepared in advance, and there is ready-made hot water on the stove. A bowl of noodles is ready in a short while, uncover the bone soup pot that has been warm, and scoop a spoonful Thick bone broth is poured on the noodles, and a few slices of fat sausage are added, and it can be served on the dinner table.

"Sister, I'll deliver it. You make lotus root noodles." An Chong handed the kettle in his hand to An Xu, and reminded in a low voice, "Don't tell them how lotus root noodles are made."

An Xu is funny, probably because there are no tuber plants such as sweet potatoes and potatoes that are widely eaten, and the consumption of starch in the Ming Dynasty seems to be blank.

The lotus root noodles were ready yesterday, and An Xu made a bowl for An Chong and Zong Che. The two guys' amazement at the food is still vivid in her mind.

"Don't tell me," she whispered, "send the noodles quickly."

Put the kettle on the stove, and An Xu took out a bamboo cup. The cup has a radius of about ten centimeters and a height of eight centimeters. Its capacity is about the same as a rough pottery bowl, and it has been specially dried. It is more elegant and interesting than the rough pottery bowl. If there are too many, it is more suitable for making lotus root powder.

Put a spoonful of brown sugar at the bottom of the cup, followed by two spoonfuls of lotus root starch, and then pinch in a few jujube slices that have been cut in advance, and the raw materials for lotus root starch are ready.

In order to boil the water quickly, I only put a bowl of water in the kettle, surrounded by flames, it quickly boiled away.

An Xu poured boiling water, and quickly stirred the lotus root powder that had been boiled in cold white with chopsticks, and it became crystal clear and transparent to the naked eye, mixed with slices of red dates, which looked lovely.

Because the bamboo cup is used, when the water is boiled, a very light bamboo fragrance slowly rises, mixed with the fragrance of lotus root powder, which attracts the appetite.

As soon as An Xu was delivered to the young woman, she exclaimed in surprise, "It's so beautiful."

Then Mrs. Zhang hurriedly asked An Xu, "How much is this thing?"

If it's too expensive, she doesn't want it.

An Xu smiled, "There are not many ingredients, and a cup costs two cents."

Mrs. Zhang said: "Your noodle soup doesn't use any good ingredients. Why do you need three Wen?"

An Xu still smiled and said, "We use bone broth, which takes a lot of effort."

Mrs. Zhang had something to say, Wu San had already pinned five copper coins out of his belt, pushed it forward, An Xu put it away and left.

Walking to the side of the cart, the man lowered his voice and said: "Where can I eat a bowl of noodles for three or five cents, and I will let you eat fresh ones, eat quickly."

After that, there was the sound of eating noodles in a daze.

Mrs. Zhang just married him, smiled, and whispered: "Didn't I want to save some money for our family?"

"How much money can I still afford you to eat?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang smiled shyly, took a wooden spoon to scoop up lotus root powder and brought it to her mouth. Compared with the girl who was still setting up a stall on the side of the road, her life was really good.

Zhang's sense of superiority made Zhang talk more. She looked at the long line of camels parked on the other side of the road, and asked in a low voice: "Boss, where do they get all these camels from?"

Wu San was also curious, and kept looking at it while eating the noodles, and said, "It should be from outside the pass."

Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhao, who was surrounded by a female camel, had already signaled several people to keep an eye on their surroundings.

Fortunately, it was not what they were worried about. The couple left after eating, and the period was only about a stick of incense.

Fang Fu smiled and said, "Sir, you are worrying too much."

Mr. Zhao also heaved a sigh of relief, but the vigilance in his heart has not disappeared, but he is already five or six points sure that they are overly guarded against the stall that suddenly appeared on the roadside.

"When you go out, you can never be too careful." He told the young master.

Fang Fu turned his head to look at the novelty booth car on the side of the road. After so many years away from home, he can still tell what kind of person he is and what kind of temperament he is.

That's just two siblings who are simply running around for their livelihood.

The sun was slanting to the west, and the light gradually changed from bright to a warm orange. It was already past time. Fang Fu looked forward and said, "Mr. All right, we'll go back when the camels have cubs."

It is impossible to go any further now, the next post station is still more than [-] miles away.Although a large caravan like them can rest in the wild, but the large number of people in the caravan also means that the target is large and it is easy to attract horse thieves, so if you can live in a post, you will not take risks.

Mr. Zhao disagreed, "Shaodong's family, you take the people back first, and I will watch over here."

Fang Fu raised his hand, "Stop arguing, I'll go over there for a bowl of noodles."

Mr. Zhao: The Young Master stayed here to eat noodles, right?
"Sister, it's getting late, let's go back." Here, An Chong was also preparing to go back.

A caravan of camels stopped by the side of the road, and later travelers who passed by the official road also stopped to eat noodles. The ten catties of noodles An Xu made yesterday were almost sold out by now.

Moreover, this boy didn't know when he started calling her sister, which put An Xu in a good mood, and immediately replied with a smile: "Let's go."

"Girl, come to a bowl of noodles."

Fang Fu came here at this time.

An Xu looked over and asked, "What noodles do you want?"

"Big bone soup, mushroom soup and a bowl of each." It's mid-afternoon today, and he can understand what the noodles are selling here.

Walking to the booth while talking, Fang Fu looked at it and asked, "How many noodles are left?"

"About three catties." An Xu said.

"Drink it all, by the way, and your lotus root powder, give me a cup too."

Not long after Fang Fu sat at the table, three big bowls of noodles and a cup of crystal clear lotus root powder mixed with red dates were brought to the table.

No wonder that in the middle of the afternoon, every woman who stops to eat must order a cup of lotus root noodles.

He stirred it with a bamboo spoon, took a spoonful and put it in his mouth. It was slightly sweet, mixed with a faint fragrance of lotus root and bamboo, which can be called a good product.

Fang Fu often goes to Hangzhou, and has eaten at the Baiwei Restaurant in the city. There are many desserts, and there are not many desserts that can compare with this lotus root noodle.

He looked up, and the girl beside the car was cleaning up the pots and pans, and she was ready to go home.

He used to disdain the saying that his father used to say, all the truly skilled people are in the mountains, but today he has seen it.

Four bowls of three catties of noodles, divided into three bowls for Han Yun, Mr. Qin, and Zhao Ming who stayed behind to watch the camels. Fang Fu ate with chopsticks. Although the aroma of the noodle soup drew saliva, he still ate in a leisurely manner. .

After one sip, you will know that this noodle is also very good. After taking another sip of the soup, the umami taste is even stronger than what you smelled.

At this level, it is more than enough to be a chef on the first floor of the capital.

Fang Fu thought while eating, and at the same time raised his eyes to look at the back.

"Girl, come here, let's talk." After eating two more chopsticks, Fang Fu took out a handkerchief and pressed the corner of his lips, and said like an elder.

An Xu had put away all the pots, bowls and wooden barrels at this time, and was just waiting for the last guest to leave. Hearing this old-fashioned tone, his eyes almost popped out of his sockets.

"What do you want to talk about?" she asked.

Fang Fu's smile was originally a gentle and amiable face, this smile gave people a sense of intimacy, "Come, come and talk."

He waved his hands, much like an elder seeing a happy younger generation.

An Xu couldn't bear it, and asked, "You Gui Geng? Change your attitude."

Fang Fu: Why don't you eat this set?

"I think you've just reached Ji at most. I'm already 23. It's okay for you to call me uncle."

An Xu hurriedly said: "No, what's your last name, I'll call you directly."

Little girl, she is not very old, but her vigilance is quite like that of an old businessman.

Fang Fu patted the table with a smile, "Come and sit, let's talk about your lotus root noodles."

When An Chong heard this, he subconsciously took a step forward to block An Xu.

"I won't steal yours," Fang Fu laughed, "I see that your lotus root noodles are well made, so I want to buy a recipe, how about it?"

An Xu thought for a while, and said: "Although the method of my lotus root powder is simple, it is excellent. It is most friendly to the elderly and children with weak stomachs. My home is simple, but due to insufficient materials, if you want to buy it, I will buy it. You can send a few recipes of assorted lotus root powder."

She is interested in this deal.

The smile on Fang Fu's face became more sincere, and he said, "That's very good, I don't know how much the girl will ask for."

Far away, Zhao Ming, who was guarding the camel, said to Han Yun in a low voice: "Young master is going to deceive people again, I guess, you can buy this recipe with five taels of silver at most."

Only a quarter of an hour later, Zhao Ming's assertion was broken.

"You want to give this camel to her?" Mr. Qin took his young master to the nearby field for a few steps, and said in a low voice, "Young master, our camel is worth at least 30 taels of silver."

 Today's chapter is fatter, thank you Xiao Rou'er for your reward.

  In addition, there is an update before it is put on the shelves, please don't fatten up, I need your follow-up support.
