Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 226
For several days in a row, people in the village were busy drying noodles.

After the noodles from each household were finished drying, Liu Guangju organized people to set up two large pots in the wheat field, and officially started serving the noodles.

The procedures of cooking the pot, kneading the vermicelli, serving the vermicelli, and scooping up the vermicelli all require manpower. After all, no ten people are too busy at all.Among them, making powder is a physical labor, which needs two groups of young people to do it alternately.

Liujiagou has not ordered vermicelli for more than ten years, and the younger generation does not even know the general process.Ever since, Liu Wuye became the technical director, giving pointers around the washbasin.He mainly checks whether the noodles are evenly blended. If they are not blended well, there will be a large piece in the pot, which is the vermicelli.The old Niutou was the general person in charge of the scene, and greeted him back and forth with a loud voice.

Sweet potato flour is no different from wheat flour, they both need to roll up their sleeves and stir vigorously in the basin.However, sweet potato flour is much rougher than flour and requires a lot of effort.

"Hi...Hi..." Following Liu Wuye's beat, Liu Junhao and the other three began to stir in the basin.

At the beginning, I still felt my hands were cold, and after a while, I felt sweat on my forehead.

After the noodles were reconciled, Liu Guangju stood by the pot and served the noodles.

The mold for the lower vermicelli is made of half a gourd ladle, and a lot of round holes are drilled at the bottom with thick nails.

He put the noodles that had been reconciled in the basin into the gourd scoop, and then held the gourd scoop with one hand, and gently tapped the gourd with his fist with the other hand, and the noodles fell into the pot in a straight line along the round hole.

The vermicelli was very thick at first, but when it fell into the pot, it became as thin as cotton thread.

Putting vermicelli seems simple, but it is also a technical task. If the rhythm is not well grasped, it is easy to make a "rolling pin" thick as a thumb.

The raw vermicelli rolls in the pot and immediately becomes crystal clear.Someone next to them fished them out with a stick, put them in cold water to cool them, and after they cooled, put them on a bamboo pole and hang them on the shelf next to them.

Ordering vermicelli can be said to be a rare major event in Liujiagou, so the idlers in the village came to help.

"Uncle Xiaohao, get me a piece, I'll make a dough ball" The hairy boy came over with his schoolbag just after school.

"Ask your father, I'm busy here." Liu Junhao reprimanded him, and then disturbed.

"Get me some." Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, the child reached out to grab the basin.

Liu Junhao hurriedly made a ball of noodles and threw them into his hands, but Xiaowazi saw it and came here to ask for it.

When they get the noodles, they throw them under the stove to bake the dough balls to eat. The freshly made noodles are very sticky, and the baked dough balls are crispy and crispy.Wukong was so greedy, he also grabbed a sorghum stalk and jumped to the basin, pointing his claws at the noodles inside and screaming.

Liu Junhao didn't want to talk to this guy, turned his head and pretended not to see it, but Liu Qihua made a big ball of noodles for Wukong.

However, the monkey's grilling skills are really not very good, and the cooked dough is either half-baked or black.It took a bite and felt that it was not tasty, so it secretly wanted to stuff it into the owner's pocket.

After accumulating a few brains, this guy became honest.

When it was Liu Junhao's vermicelli, everyone noticed the difference.The noodles are very easy to mix, and they are also very smooth after being put into the pot, and there is no "rolling pin" at all.

After the vermicelli iced out, Er Mazi pinched a few and tasted them. It was cold and sweet, and the sweet feeling went straight to the bottom of my heart.He immediately ordered ten catties, saying that he would eat it at home during the Chinese New Year.

The vermicelli that has just been placed is very soft, and it will slip and fall to the ground directly when hanging on the shelf, so it needs to be watered on the top at night to let the vermicelli freeze.

On the second day, people break off the ice on the vermicelli.Repeat this several times until the spine of the vermicelli is dry and there is no need to water it.

In a few days, the dojo was covered with vermicelli racks.Those children used this place as a playground again, drilling around in the vermicelli racks, knocking off the bamboo poles on which the vermicelli were hung if they were not careful.

When something went wrong, these guys ran away one by one.When the people who waited found out, they couldn't find the culprit at all. It was Liu Wuye who went to the school to file a complaint before they survived.

After a busy week, Liu Junhao was finally able to eat his own vermicelli.

In the evening, the two couldn't wait to make vermicelli soup.After tasting it, Zhang Qian kept admiring it and said that she must bring some back when she returns home on New Year's Day.

A total of [-] catties of vermicelli were made this time, and after deducting the dozens of catties left by them and Professor Zhao's family, there was still a lot left.

* * *
New Year's Day arrived as soon as it was mentioned, and the school was on holiday for three days. His wife went back to see her parents, and Liu Junhao naturally accompanied her all the way.

Give the door key to Mr. Zhao, and ask him to take care of it when he is free.

He didn't think so when he was idle, but now that he was about to leave home for three days, Liu Junhao realized that there were a lot of miscellaneous things.Chickens, ducks, rabbits, etc. in the yard need to be fed, and guests who come to buy rice field eels need to be greeted. These things cannot be done without people.

Before leaving, the monkey wanted to go to the street with them, Liu Junhao chased him several times before leaving it at home.But as soon as he drove the electric car to the entrance of the village, this guy jumped out of the grass again, standing in the middle of the road and barking non-stop.

The two discussed it, and they decided to take Wukong with them.A few days ago, Xiao Zeyu heard that a monkey had come to their house, and he kept clamoring to come and see it.This time is just right, let the little guy see the monkey.

There were not many people in the car they took at the station when they first got on the car, so no one noticed that they had brought a monkey with them.

But just after a while, Liu Junhao saw a little girl next to him who kept looking around.

"Mom, look, monkey!" Tong's voice was particularly clear in the carriage, and people followed her fingers to look.

Wukong found himself in the spotlight, immediately jumped onto the top of the car seat, scratched his head, made faces at people, and finally bowed to everyone.

The little girl couldn't stand the temptation, struggled out of her mother's arms, and ran straight to the monkey to feed the sesame cake.Wukong was a bit greedy, and after eating, he stretched out his hand to ask others for it, so the little girl had to run back to her seat and bring the whole bag.

Several other children in the carriage were also very curious, and they gathered around and took out their own snacks to feed the monkeys.

Now Wukong has developed, bubble gum, sesame crisps, peanut kernels, etc. After a while, his hands are full.The guy put the food in Liu Junhao's arms and continued to beg for it.

Zhang Qian hurriedly patted it on the head, taught it a lesson, and the monkey finally calmed down.

After 2 minutes of not being honest, it began to climb up the handrail and jump in the carriage again, causing the passengers to applaud again and again, and this guy became a "little star" in the car for a while.

Seeing that the fudge in his arms was good, Liu Junhao peeled one off and stuffed it into his mouth.Unexpectedly, the monkey found out immediately, jumped over and yelled at him.

Looking at the meaning, it seems to say that these things belong to it, and no one can touch it.When they rushed to the city, the food the monkey received was packed in a large plastic bag.

Liu Junhao was afraid that Wukong would be tired, so he wanted to help.Who knew that this guy wouldn't ask others to help him, holding the plastic bag tightly, obviously afraid that Liu Junhao would steal it again.

After getting off the taxi, Zhang Qian's parents, brother-in-law and nephew were waiting at the gate of the community.

"Mom, in which barber shop did you dye your hair? Why didn't you dye it well? There are still so many white hairs?" After saying a few words, Zhang Qian found that her mother's hair had changed.

"It's not dyed, it's thanks to the local honey. You got me two bottles of honey last time, and I make a cup every day. No, it's only been a few months, and my hair is shiny and shiny, and it's turned black again. In the community Those aunts of yours are so envious that they can't do it, they kept telling me that they want you to raise more honey bees next year, they want to buy..." When talking about honey, Zhang's mother became more talkative up.

"That's right, next year your family must raise more bees. My skin has become much more delicate after drinking honey water. The girls in our unit kept asking me for the secret of beauty." Wang Yun also interjected. , Then she took a closer look at my sister-in-law's skin, and said with a little envy: "Your skin is so white, it's so delicate in such a dry weather, it's so tender that it's almost watery."

"I didn't even drink honey," Zhang Qian said with a sense of complacency.

They talked about beauty, and a few men couldn't get in their mouths, so they simply set up chess in the living room.As for Xiao Zeyu, from the moment he saw Wukong, his mind was completely captivated.Run back to the bedroom and get out your dolls, machine guns, Transformers, etc. for the monkey to play with.

Wukong encountered so many interesting things for the first time, and it was quite interesting to play.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Qian's cell phone rang.Looking at the number, it was Teacher Wang calling.

"Xiaoqian, did you see the monkey before you left? Uncle Zhao and I searched all over the place, but we didn't see it." Teacher Wang on the phone was very anxious.When she left, she promised to keep the door safe, but she lost her things in a blink of an eye, no wonder she was in a hurry.

"Aunt Wang... Wukong didn't lose it, it came with us. I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you." Zhang Qian hurriedly explained that the two of them were confused and didn't think about it at all along the way.

"It's fine if you don't lose it, it's fine if you don't lose it." Teacher Wang chatted for a few words before hanging up the phone.

Zhang Qian brought a lot of things back to her natal home this time. The big and small bags were all local specialties, such as vermicelli, mushrooms, fungus and so on.She thought it was troublesome to get so many things, but Liu Junhao insisted on bringing them all.

Liu Junhao has his own considerations. It is the first time for his wife to come back home, so she can't be too shabby.Besides, these things are not worth a few dollars, but more of a heart.

When cooking at noon, Zhang Qian showed her skills. The mushroom fried meat she made was very impressive to Zhang's mother. She even said that her daughter's craftsmanship has surpassed her own, and the fried mushrooms are fragrant and tender.

Liu Junhao thought that the material was good, and all the mushrooms were produced in Shisuo.

It is said that the coldest temperature in Shisuo is above zero degrees. After Qiuli sprinkled mushroom spores by the spring, he picked mushrooms several times.Now I still have more than ten catties in my house, which is enough to eat for the New Year.
