Chapter 311 Instant Noodles
Qian Xiu Gu invited her to have dinner at her home, but she refused: "No, I will be back to town tomorrow. If you have anything, remember to go find my aunt and the others."
She nodded and made some more gestures.
Wen Zhenyi smiled and nodded, then came out of the alley. Here she could see some children playing with smiles on their faces, and they would look at her curiously when they saw her.
In the afternoon, Wen Zhenyi accompanied them to the market and bought a lot of things. He chose the best fabric for the wedding dress and also picked out a set of gold and silver headwear for Zhu Tao.
As for those who gave money to Qian Xiu Gu, they did not buy it in front of Geng Ru, but found out the price and waited until the day was approaching before buying it.
When Qin Niangzi, her mother and daughter came, they didn't bring anything with them and were wearing their own old clothes. They simply bought some cloth and took it back to have them make clothes.
We can't favor one over the other. In the end, no one was left out and the carriage was almost full.
When the owner of the cloth shop saw them out, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
Geng Ru looked at the cart of things and said, "There's no limit to how much I'm buying now."
Old Lady Wen smiled and said, "The fabrics in this county town have beautiful patterns. I'm thinking of buying some to make Yi Yi a few new clothes."
"Grandma, I still have a lot of clothes."
"It's okay. It's good for girls to have more clothes."
They left the city gate early the next morning and returned to Wenxia Town.
The journey was quite smooth without too many setbacks.
As soon as Mrs. Wen returned home, she distributed the information to everyone, and neither Shen Hanxing nor Shen Xiucai was left out.
However, the two grown men did not know how to sew clothes, so they finally handed the sewing work over to Madam Qin.
After Wen Zhenyi came back, life returned to normal.
There is nothing wrong with the noodles made by the noodle machine, as long as you control the kneading process well.
Old Lady Wen and the others looked at the noodles made by the noodle machine and were a little surprised. This thing was quite fast.
Old Man Wen nodded. "It's really fast! If you were to pull or roll it by hand, it would take a lot of time. Look, it took us only a short while to make a big basin."
Aunt You’s belly is a little big now: “Yi Yi, what are you going to do with so many noodles?”
“Make dry noodles.”
"Dry noodles?"
After Wen Zhenyi came back, she asked Axiang to cut a lot of bamboo poles. Now she hung the noodles on the bamboo poles and asked them to take the bamboo poles out to dry.
Wen Chengwen looked at the noodles in the yard and asked, "Are you just going to leave them like this?"
"Don't worry about it, just wait until she's done." Wen Zhenyi said and ran to the backyard to find Xiong Lu who was tinkering with something: "Uncle Xiong Lu."
Xiong Lu put down the tools in his hand: "Miss, what's the matter?"
"Help me make something."
"you say."
Wen Zhenyi briefly stated what he wanted.
Xiong Lu nodded, found some materials nearby, and started making what she wanted.
Everyone was looking at the noodles in the yard and wondering what the dry noodles were for, when they saw her walking out of the backyard with a strange object in her hand.
"What is this?" Old Mrs. Wen looked at it for a long time but couldn't understand it.
"You'll know in a moment."
Others saw her clean the things and boil water to cook them again.
Then I saw her smearing oil on these things and wrapping noodles around them.
Wen Zhenyi poured oil into the pot, waited for the oil to heat up, and then put the strange thing in along with the noodles.
"Fried noodles?" The group of people looked puzzled.
Wen Zhenyi did not explain and continued to make a lot more. When he had enough, he put all the pancakes aside.
"These fried noodles, even if I give them to you, I'm afraid you'll find it hard to swallow them."
Old Man Wen looked at it and nodded: "It looks dry."
When Wen Zhenyi came back, she also made some sauces and asked the owner of the beef stall to send her beef bones.
She had thought before about how to keep these things sealed for a long time. In her previous life, there was plastic packaging, but there was no such thing here.
She thought about this for a long time, until later when she saw that the pills Shen Xiucai took when he was sick were sealed with wax, she finally had an idea.
She wanted to try using wax to place the food in it to see if it would have the same effect.
So he had asked Xiong Lu to make some molds of different sizes, in two halves, and put the things in them and seal them with wax.
I don’t know if this method will work, but I can only try it. If it doesn’t work, I can also use a small jar, but the cost will be much higher.
She also took the time to go to town to buy a lot of vegetables, and used an oven to dry them and remove the moisture.
When Zhu Tao saw her doing this, she felt that she was wasting food, as the good food was being roasted dry.
By the afternoon, the noodles were almost dry after drying in the sun. Wen Zhenyi asked them to take the noodles into the kitchen and cut them into the same length with a knife.
As for the ones that couldn't be changed, she didn't waste them and planned to keep them for her family to eat.
When everyone finished their work for the day and returned to the yard, they saw a large bowl on the table, covered with a plate, and nothing else.
If you count carefully, it's the same number as everyone else.
Shen Xiucai looked at the covered bowl in surprise: "What is this?"
"instant noodles."
"Is there any convenient way to eat noodles?" Everyone looked suspicious.
Wen Zhenyi didn't explain much: "Hurry up and sit down to eat, it won't taste good soon."
Shen Hanxing sat down next to her: "Just open it?"
Wen Zhenyi smiled and nodded: "Yeah."
The others also took their seats and opened the covered plates in front of them.
The moment the dish was uncovered, they could already smell the enticing aroma: "This smells quite nice."
Shen Xiucai picked up some noodles and said, "Why are these noodles so twisted and wavy? They're quite interesting."
“Grandpa Shen, try it.”
Others took up their chopsticks and took a bite. Their eyes lit up after taking a bite. The noodles did not feel clumpy at all after being soaked for a long time. They were still very elastic.
Although you can't see the meat, you can smell the aroma of meat, and the green and red things on it look like vegetables.
It was rare for Shen Hanxing to finish the whole bowl of noodles and drink some soup.
The rest of the people even drank up all the soup.
Wen Chengwen felt a little unsatisfied: "Yi Yi, is there anything else?"
"Yes." Wen Zhenyi went to the kitchen to take out the things and made a portion for Wen Chengwen in front of them.
"Is that all?" A group of people looked at the bowl covered with a plate, each of them a little unsure.
"Okay, we'll be able to eat in a moment."
After a while, she opened the plate and inside was the instant noodles they had just eaten.
