Chapter 67 Noodle Shop Problem
Shen Yueyao asked: "I heard from my mother that the lease of the noodle shop has not expired yet, so it can continue to operate."
Ye shook his head and said, "If we continue to open it, we'll just be throwing money into it. It would be better to set up a stall and sell noodles during market hours. We'll spend less and earn a little more."
“Actually, there are several Yangchun noodle shops in town.”
Moreover, the price of noodles has increased a lot in the past few years of running a noodle shop, but the price of noodles remains the same. Even if you work hard all day, the money you earn is hard-earned.
But she doesn't know anything else.
She is not very good at working in the fields.
"But sister, you haven't tasted the plain noodles I made yet. I'll make some for you at noon."
Ye didn't know why, but when she saw Shen Yueyao, she liked her from the bottom of her heart and couldn't help but want to be nice to her.
Or maybe she has a younger brother at home, and when she came to the Shen family, there were only boys at home, so she felt very rare when she saw Shen Yueyao, her younger sister.
Seeing that the aunt and sister-in-law had a good relationship, Cui was also happy and said, "Yes, let your third sister-in-law make some Yangchun noodles for you to try. I think they taste very good. We happen to have some big bones at home, so we can use them to make soup."
When Shen Yueyao heard about making soup with big bones, she couldn't help but sigh that the ancient delicacies did not add any technological things and they were all authentic flavors.
However, in this case, the cost of things is indeed high, and you probably won't make much money from a bowl of noodles. Add to that the rent of the house, the noodles and bones, and all these things cost money, so it's really hard-earned money.
Shen Yueyao thought for a moment and said, “Third sister-in-law, I brought noodles and rice. You can use the noodles I brought to knead the noodles. Knead more. I will also make two different bowls of noodles. You can try how they taste and try them both.”
Ye was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up. Could it be that her sister could also make noodles?
When she thought about what her husband said about her sister being smart and knowing a lot since she was a child, she understood.
"Okay, I'll listen to my sister."
For some reason, she was looking forward to it now.
Shen Yueyao is preparing to make hot dry noodles and noodles with soybean paste.
She actually likes to eat sauerkraut noodles, but the sauerkraut is not pickled yet.
Maybe next time I come to my mother's place, the sauerkraut will be ready.
Shen Yueyao took a look at the environment at home. The tables and chairs were all broken, and even the salt jar was missing a corner. The clothes worn by her parents and her sister-in-law were also patched. It can be seen that the conditions at home were somewhat difficult.
Even Xuanxuan, who was sitting on the doorstep with a piece of candy in his hand, was reluctant to eat it and kept licking it with his tongue.
Seeing this, Shen Yueyao felt a little sour in her heart.
Even when Shen Yueyao was cooking pork belly, Cui was reluctant to put it in and kept telling Shen Yueyao to take it back because the meat was too expensive.
Shen Yueyao just wanted to make something delicious to improve the diet for her parents.
Besides, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Shen Yueyao felt that the family needed to have some means of making a living.
It is actually possible to make tofu, but you have to buy soybeans and grinding tofu is very hard work, and you have to get up early before dawn.
It would be better to think of other ways. A noodle shop cannot rely on noodles alone, it needs to add some other foods.
As Shen Yueyao was thinking, she looked up and saw the corn hanging on the wall of the yard. Her expression changed.
By the way, you can make corn vermicelli. Vermicelli can be made into hot and sour vermicelli or vermicelli soup.
The main reason is that there are no sweet potatoes here. If there were sweet potatoes, you could make sweet potato vermicelli.
But it's noon now, let's talk about this after lunch.
Shen Yueyao looked down and saw the spinach in the stove. Her eyes lit up and she asked, "Mom, is that spinach?"
"Yes, the spinach has just grown and is still fresh. If you want to eat it, mom will cook it for you."
Shen Yueyao said excitedly: "No need, mother, wash the spinach and squeeze the juice, you can squeeze out green juice."
As Shen Yueyao spoke, she said to Ye who was kneading the dough, "Third sister-in-law, don't knead the dough yet. Squeeze the vegetable juice and mix it in. The dough will be green. It will be more appetizing with the color, and the taste will be different."
This will give the noodles a hint of vegetable flavor.
Ye was stunned. "Can noodles come in other colors?"
The noodles we eat are all white, but people like white noodles. If the noodles are yellow, people always think that coarse noodles are added and they will have objections.
Therefore, when making noodles, the Ye family always uses good quality fine white flour.
This will make the cost higher. If there are not enough noodles, everyone will not be full and the guests will also complain.
After all, noodles are not only made by their family, there are several noodle shops in the town.
But I've never heard of noodles made with other colors.
Shen Yueyao explained with a smile: "Of course, there are many colors, such as red, orange, purple, etc., but you need to juice the corresponding fruits and vegetables. Now we have spinach, which can be fried to make green juice, and carrots, which can also be fried to make orange juice. You will know when you try it later."
Ye was very surprised, as if a new world had opened up.
She was also shocked by the thought that noodles could come in various colors.
Not to mention others, even she would feel hungry when she saw noodles of different colors.
Cui washed the vegetables and squeezed out the juice as Shen Yueyao instructed, then poured it into the basin, and Ye began to knead the dough.
When He came out, Ye was amazed again and again, "Sister, it really is green, why didn't we think of it before?"
How many times have they eaten spinach, but they never thought that they could also mix it with dough to change its color.
"You can do this not only with noodles, but also with dumplings. You can make dumplings with different colored skins so that it's easier to distinguish the different fillings."
Ye felt that everything her sister said was very useful, and she took notes carefully.
After kneading the dough, Ye started to roll out the noodles. At that time, there was no noodle press at all, so the noodles were made entirely by hand.
Shen Yueyao felt that making noodles would be much easier if there was a noodle machine.
Otherwise, it would be tiring to do it manually.
However, making a pasta machine is not that easy, and I don’t know if someone who knows how to use iron can make it.
She can draw the various parts and assemble them.
Shen Yueyao was quite impressed by the third sister-in-law's knife skills in cutting noodles. Without years of accumulation, the knife skills would not be so good and the noodles would not be cut so quickly.
Shen Yueyao said: “Third sister-in-law, noodles can actually be made into wide noodles.”
Ye shook his head and said, "Everyone still likes to eat thin noodles. Thin noodles are easier to cook and save time."
Shen Yueyao nodded, it was indeed true.
Just as they were discussing, Xuanxuan's crying voice was heard from the door.
"Woo woo, give it back to me, give it back to me, my aunt gave it to me."
When Shen Yueyao heard Xuanxuan crying, she quickly put down what she was holding and ran out.
At the door, I saw a little boy of about six or seven years old holding Xuanxuan's candy in his hand, and he said as if it was a matter of course: "Your aunt is also my aunt, why is it yours and this is mine."
When she saw the little fat boy, Shen Yueyao frowned. This was Song Mao from her second brother and sister-in-law's family.
When Xuanxuan saw her aunt coming, she stopped crying with a twitch of her nose. She walked to Shen Yueyao's legs, hugged her legs, and looked at her aggrievedly: "Aunt, the candy you gave me was taken away by Brother Songmao."
