Chapter 99 Qin Zhizhi’s unexpected discovery!

Ning Ning touched the little girl's head. They had been together for a long time and had a good relationship.

"Wow, that's great. I'll help too."

When Gu Yunlang heard that it was to be used to make delicious food, he was very happy and his eyes lit up.

"Yunlang, just watch over there obediently. I've already arranged for someone. We'll go find Sister Zhizhi later."

"I will listen to Sister Ning'er."

Gu Yunlang is incredibly well-behaved, and Ning Ning loves him so much.

"Who is looking for me?"

"Sister Zhizhi, you're back. I brought the ice." Seeing Qin Zhizhi coming back, Ning Ning immediately went to greet her.

"Sister, Sister Ning'er said that these ice cubes are used to make delicious food. Is that true?" Gu Yunlang also hurriedly asked Qin Zhizhi for confirmation.

"I'll make it for you at noon. Remember to thank Sister Ning'er."

Qin Zhizhi saw the expectant look in Xiaotuanzi's eyes and decided to make it at noon. With ice cubes in hand, she could have enough delicious food.

"Sister Zhizhi, you are so nice!"

When Ning Ning heard that she could eat it at noon, she was very happy. It was worth it for her to deceive her father by bringing up His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"That's great. I'm going to tell my brothers and sisters."

Children’s favorite thing to do is to share. When Gu Yunlang knew that there was something delicious at noon, the first thing he did was to find his friends to share it.

"Go ahead, run slower!"

Qin Zhizhi was worried that Gu Yunlang would fall, so she shouted anxiously.

"Don't worry about her, sister-in-law. Let's go and make some delicious food."

When Gu Yunfei heard that Qin Zhizhi was going to cook delicious food again, she couldn't wait.

"Sister Zhizhi, I want to learn too. When I learn, I will cook for mom."

When Ning Ning heard that Gu Yunfei was going to study with Qin Zhizhi, she also wanted to learn. Her mother couldn't come to the Gu family like her, so she wanted to learn on her own.

"Come on, let's go to the cellar and get some ice."

So the three of them went to the cellar together, got a bucket of ice, and carried it to the kitchen.

Qin Zhizhi decided to make cold noodles today.

Qin Zhizhi found the flour at home and kneaded the dough first to make cold noodles.

"I'm going to knead the dough now. Let's mix the flour and water in a certain proportion, then stir it into a floc. Then knead it vigorously like this until it becomes a smooth dough."

Qin Zhizhi explained the process to the two of them while kneading the dough, and emphasized that the softness or hardness of the dough would affect the taste of the cold noodles.

After kneading the dough, it’s time to wash it.

The two were very surprised when they saw Qin Zhizhi put the kneaded dough into clear water.

"Sister-in-law, why do you put the dough in clean water?" Gu Yunfei was very curious.

"Of course it's to wash the dough, knead it like washing clothes, this will remove the starch in the dough and leave the gluten."

"What is gluten?" This time it was Ning Ning who asked the question.

"I'll put it in the cold noodles later. It's delicious. I'm sure you'll like it. We need to change the water several times when washing the noodles so that the water is not cloudy."

When washing her face, Qin Zhizhi let the two of them do it themselves. Although they were nervous as it was their first time, they learned very seriously.

Qin Zhizhi specially found a wooden basin to put the starch water obtained from washing her face.

"Sister Zhizhi, why doesn't this water pour out?"

Ning Ning and Qin Zhizhi kept the water for washing their faces separately, thinking that she was being thrifty and reluctant to throw it away.

"This is a treasure, don't pour it out. Let's leave it for a while and wait for the starch and water to separate naturally. I still have a lot of use for it."

Because it takes time to settle the starch water, Qin Zhizhi taught them how to make smoothie desserts during this period.

Qin Zhizhi pretended to go to the room to get food, but actually she went to exchange things with Wanwan.

Then several people made mung bean smoothie, hawthorn smoothie, peach smoothie, and wild grape smoothie together.

Qin Zhizhi served a small bowl to Ning Ning and Gu Yunfei respectively. They were icy cold and delicious.

"Sister Zhizhi, you are amazing. This is the first time I have eaten such a delicious dessert."

Ning Ning's happiness was written all over her face. She felt that bringing ice cubes to Gu's house today was the right choice.

Although Gu Yunfei was not as exaggerated as Ning Ning, the joy on her face was enough to show her satisfaction at the moment.

"This is a bit cold, so eat less at a time."

Qin Zhizhi also served herself a bowl and squinted her eyes in delight. This is what summer should be like. So happy.

After a few people worked hard to make the smoothie, the starch precipitation was also completed.

Qin Zhizhi slowly poured away the clear water on top of the precipitated starch water, leaving the starch paste at the bottom. This would be the batter for making cold skin later.

The next step was to steam the cold noodles. Qin Zhizhi first explained the key points to the two of them, and then demonstrated it to them personally.

First, brush a thin layer of cooking oil on a flat plate, pour a spoonful of batter into it, and shake the plate to spread the batter evenly.

Then place the plate in a pot of boiling water, cover the pot, and steam over high heat for 2-3 minutes, until large bubbles appear on the surface of the cold skin.

Take out the plate, put the cold skin into ice water to cool, then peel it off.

The two of them learned seriously. After Qin Zhizhi made about five or six pictures, Ning Ning started to make a fuss about wanting to try it.

Qin Zhizhi was guiding her from the side, and Ning Ning did it very well.

Gu Yunfei was not willing to be outdone. Seeing that the two of them had done a great job, Qin Zhizhi handed it over to them with confidence and went to prepare the seasoning.

The key to making delicious cold noodles is the seasoning. Qin Zhizhi added minced garlic, chili oil, vinegar, soy sauce, and other ingredients, as well as shredded cucumbers, gluten, and other side dishes.

After Gu Yunfei and Ning Ning finished steaming all the cold noodles, Qin Zhizhi cut the cold noodles into strips, put them together with the side dishes, and poured the sauce on them.

The three of them felt a great sense of accomplishment when they saw the results of their hard work for half a day. Qin Zhizhi even asked two of them to taste the food first.

Afraid that it wouldn’t be enough, Qin Zhizhi made some cold noodles as well, as the sauce could be used anyway.

"Why haven't Brother-in-law Gu and the others come back yet? I can't wait any longer."

Ning Ning felt that she could eat two large bowls now, it was so delicious.

As soon as Ning Ning finished speaking, she heard Ning Xuan's voice.

"Sister, we are back. What did my sister-in-law make today? It smells so good."

As Ning Xuan entered the yard, he smelled the fragrance and quickened his pace.

"Brother, you are finally back. We made delicious food today."

Ning Ning had been waiting for a long time and finally saw them come back, so they could finally have dinner.

"Hurry up and wash your hands. It's time to eat." Qin Zhizhi saw that everyone was there and urged them to wash their hands.

As soon as the children entered the yard, they smelled the fragrance and couldn't help but wash their hands obediently.

When the cold noodles and smoothies were served on the table, both the children and Gu Jinghuai and the others were filled with surprise.

The deliciousness of the smoothie amazed everyone. It was the first time that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew that ice could be eaten in this way.

He felt it was a waste to use ice cubes to cool off.

After eating the smoothie, the heat is relieved a lot, and then having a bowl of spicy and sour cold noodles makes people feel refreshed.

Qin Zhizhi specially praised Ning Ning and Gu Yunfei, and the children kept praising them.

In an inadvertent moment, Qin Zhizhi's gaze rested on her second brother. She was surprised at first, then smiled secretly.
