Chapter 13 Cold Face
"Third sister-in-law, it's really starting to freeze." Ye Xiaomei on the side flushed with excitement.

Zhou Ran was also very happy, "We will have ice tomorrow."

On the second day, Zhou Ran made a lot of ice in one go. Not only did she eat iced watermelons, peaches and other fruits, she also put ice in the house.

Considering Ye Ximing's health, the ice was placed in Ye Xiaomei's room. Zhou Ran and Ye Xiaomei didn't have to worry about sweaty palms while sitting by the ice basin doing embroidery work.

Of course, Zhou Ran did not forget to put an ice basin in the house of Father Ye and Mrs. Zhang.

As for Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Li, if they want to enjoy the coolness brought by the ice basin, they can choose to go to Ye Xiaomei's house.

Zhou Ran started to embroider large pieces of embroidery since she came back from Linglong Embroidery Workshop that day. What she embroidered this time was a picture of Magu offering her birthday. This embroidery requires a lot of stitches. As long as this picture is embroidered, Zhou Ran will be able to master several new stitches.

However, the picture of Magu's birthday that Zhou Ran wanted to embroider was relatively large. After a few days, Zhou Ran only embroidered one corner.

It was half past midnight and the hottest part of the day had passed. Mrs. Chen put down the half-made shoes and prepared to cook.

Mrs. Li on the side also stood up lazily and asked Ms. Chen: "Sister-in-law, what are you eating today?"

"I soaked the mung beans, cooked mung bean porridge, fried eggplant, mixed with cucumber, and heated up some steamed buns." Mrs. Chen replied without thinking.

Li curled her lips, she was tired of eating the same thing every day.

Zhou Ran smacked her lips after hearing the conversation between the two. Her sister-in-law Chen's cooking skills are indeed good and the dishes are delicious. However, Chen's knowledge is limited and the ingredients are limited, so she can only cook a few dishes. Not only Li, but also Zhou Ran was a little tired of it.

Zhou Ran wanted to eat cold noodles. On this hot summer day, it was so refreshing to eat a bowl of cold noodles with ice cubes. It was sweet yet sour and fragrant yet spicy.

"Sister-in-law, do you have cornstarch at home?" Zhou Ran sucked in the non-existent saliva and asked Chen.

The Ye family is a farming family. Even if they don’t live a hard life, they still don’t eat plain noodles. They also eat mixed-noodle steamed buns and noodles with buckwheat noodles, so the Ye family has buckwheat noodles. As long as there is cornstarch, then Zhou Ran can make cold noodles.

Mrs. Chen nodded, "Yes, I kept the cornstarch that the chef asked me to buy when you and your third brother got married before it was used up."

"Then let me cook today." Zhou Ran stood up from the embroidery stand and said.

Mrs. Li's mind whirled and she said expectantly: "Are the three younger brothers and sisters going to make something fresh to eat?"

Zhou Ran nodded.

"Then let me help my younger siblings." Mrs. Chen said.

"it is good."

"I will also help my three younger siblings." Li said positively.

"I...I'm also going to help Third Sister-in-law." Ye Xiaomei also stood up.

Zhou Ran smiled and said, "Then let's go together."

Mix buckwheat noodles, white flour and cornstarch evenly in proportion, add alkali and a little salt, blanch the noodles in boiling water, knead them into a relatively hard dough, and let them rest for about two-quarters of an hour...

There was no meat at home, and there were no apples or anything else this season, so Zhou Ran made a simple version of the cold noodles, with only cucumbers and eggs as side dishes.

But that's all, the Ye family can eat without even raising their heads.

After eating three bowls in a row, Ye Erlang wiped his mouth and asked Zhou Ran: "Third brothers and sisters, what do you think if I buy these cold noodles in the county?" Zhou Ran thought for a moment and said: "It's okay to sell cold noodles. But the second brother also wants to sell braised pork sausages, and I’m afraid that the second brother will be too busy.”

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang on the side immediately said: "What's so difficult about this? The elder's family and the second's family are idle at home. Just ask them to go to the county town to help sell."

If the cold noodles sell well, the family can earn more income.

After hearing this, Mrs. Li said excitedly: "Mom is right, my sister-in-law and I are idle at home, so we might as well go to the county town to sell cold noodles. This cold noodles is so delicious, and it might sell better than braised pork sausage." Woolen cloth."

When Mrs. Chen heard that she was asked to sell cold noodles in the county town, she was excited and worried. "Mom, my second brother and I have no business experience..."

Mrs. Zhang glared at her angrily and said, "What are you afraid of? When the time comes, you can set up your stall next to Erlang's stall selling braised pork sausages. If anything happens, Erlang will help you."

"Mom is right." Ye Erlang said to Chen, "Sister-in-law, selling things is not as difficult as you think. You will know after you try it for a day or two."

Seeing that Ye Dalang had no objection, Mrs. Chen nodded and said, "Then...then I will listen to you."

After hearing their discussion, Zhou Ran said, "Actually, braised pork can be added to these cold noodles, which will make it taste even better."

At that time, guests who want to eat vegetarian food can eat the vegan version, and those who want to eat meat can add a few slices of thinly sliced ​​braised pork to the bowl.

The next day, customers in the county who often came to Ye Erlang's stall to buy braised pork sausages found that there was a noodle seller next to Ye Erlang's stall. The literate people looked at the word "cold noodles" written on the signboard and asked curiously. Said: "What kind of noodles are cold noodles? Is it just cold noodles?"

Ye Erlang smiled and said, "Cold noodles and cold noodles are different. The noodles of our cold noodles are specially made. They are stronger and more refreshing than ordinary cold noodles. Coupled with our secret seasoning, the taste is incredible. It’s so good, I guarantee you’ll want a second bowl after one bowl.”

After hearing this, the guest smiled and said: "So you are from the same family. Your braised pork sausage is really delicious, but I don't know if this cold noodles is as delicious as you said. So, give it to me first. Come have a bowl and let me have a taste."

"Okay." Ye Erlang responded and asked his sister-in-law Chen to make a bowl of cold noodles for the guests.

They have cooked the cold noodles in advance, and now they only need to add the side dishes and sauce.

The cold noodles were quickly served to the guests, and as soon as they took the cold and refreshing noodles into their mouths, their appetites instantly whetted their appetites.

After finishing one bowl of cold noodles, the guest asked for another bowl.

Seeing him like this, the other customers around who were selling fat sausage became curious about how delicious the cold noodles were, and those who were not short of money also took out their money and asked for a bowl of cold noodles.

By the time Ye Erlang's braised pork sausages were sold out, Chen and his friends were also sold out of their cold noodles.

The three of them packed up their things, then went to the pork stall to take the large intestine and meat that Ye Erlang asked the butcher to leave for him, and returned home together.

As soon as the three of them arrived home, Li talked non-stop about setting up the stall with Zhou Ran and the others.

Mrs. Zhang waited for a long time, and when she saw that Ms. Li never got to the point, she said impatiently, "Quit talking, just tell me how much we sold today."

Mrs. Chen smiled brightly and said, "Mom, we sold it for a total of two hundred and sixty-four cents."

Ms. Chen was originally worried that her mother-in-law would scold her if she couldn't sell a bowl of noodles, but later she realized that she had overthought it. Selling food was easier than she thought. As long as it tasted good, she wouldn't have to worry about customers paying for it. money.

Mrs. Li added on the side: "If you add meat tomorrow, the price will be even more."

Mrs. Zhang nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, okay, you have worked hard, go down and take a rest."
