Chapter 60 Cold Noodles



It is really difficult to remove the hair of wild boars, so there is no other way, so Ye Erniang suggested peeling the skin directly.

Then it was Ye Erniang's turn to skin and remove the bones, Wen Xi cut the meat, and Xiang Ye chopped the stuffing.

They worked until noon. Xiangye saw that the work was almost done and asked:

"What's for lunch? I'll go make dinner. You guys go back and rest."

Wen Xi put down the knife, shook her arm, which was numb, and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her arm.

"Auntie, please roll some noodles! Let's have cold noodles. It's too hot today."

"Cold noodles? How do you make them?"

"Cut the noodles, call me, and I'll make them. By the way, do you have any eggs at home?"

Xiangye nodded:

"Yes, I have. I still have half a basket left from the one I bought from the county last time!"

"That's fine. Today I'll let you taste my cooking skills again."

A set of offal, a basin of bones, a basin of evenly fat and lean pork belly strips, and some back seat strips, each weighing four or five pounds. There were also two large basins of minced meat.

Everything is ready, only salt and seasoning are missing.

Ye Erniang returned to Wenxi's room to rest. She had fallen in love with the kang since she slept there the night before. Although the weather was warm, it was a new house after all, and the temperature would drop at night, so Mao would light two fires every night.

It's warm and comfortable to sleep on.

Ye Erniang thought that she would get one for herself when she got home.

Wen Xi had already reached the stove, while Xiang Ye was chopping noodles.

Gu Shengmo sat at the fire pit to help watch the fire, looking out the door while muttering:

"Why hasn't mother come back yet?"

Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear. There is a sound of a door opening in the distance.

Mao came in carrying a basket on her back, looking a little unhappy.

Xiangye asked worriedly:

"Sister, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

Mao shook his head helplessly:

"Nothing much, just a few sarcastic remarks."

Upon hearing this, they knew that they must have met Second Aunt Miao.

Recently, Miao Shi didn't know whether she was sick from being idle or what. Instead of staying at home and spending time, she was always gossiping about other people's affairs.

Whenever she met the Gu family, she would say a few sarcastic words. Whenever Mao saw her from a distance, she could not help but run away.

This time we happened to meet face to face, so I didn't run away.

When Miao heard that Mao's family had dug a spring well, she was jealous for a long time and said she would visit them one day to see if the spring water was delicious.

Then I smelled a foul odor coming from Mao's backpack. I ignored the advice and opened it. I saw a pile of pig intestines. I almost vomited the leftover rice.

They immediately stood far away from Mao, as if Mao were a pig intestine. They even mocked Mao, saying that he lived a miserable life and actually ate this kind of thing. They said that they were really struggling and were willing to give him some grain flour.

Mao was so angry that he didn't say anything and just walked back home with his head down.

Wen Xi went over and took Mao's arm, comforting her:

"Mom, don't bother with her. Haven't we already seen what kind of person she is? Anyway, we know whether we are living well or not."

"Hey, that's not why I'm angry. I mean... after all, we came here together. Not to mention helping each other, but we can't offend everyone we meet, right? With her personality, she'll suffer sooner or later. She spends money like water every day. She'll have to endure it in the future."

Xiang Ye curled her lips. She remembered that when she was in the mansion, she and her friends were often bullied by the Second Aunt:

"People like her need to learn their lesson through hardship."

Wen Xi found a few eggs and said with a smile:

"Mom, I've made something delicious for you today, just wait. Auntie, when the water boils, cook the noodles. When they're cooked, scoop them out into a basin and add some cold water."

Then Wen Xi took some burning branches from the stove and stuffed them into another stove.

I scooped a spoonful of lard into the pot, and while the pot was hot, I chopped the green onion and ginger, beat the eggs, cut some wild celery into cubes, and scooped half a bowl of yellow sauce for later use.

There was a sizzling sound coming from the pot. The solidified lard slowly melted away, emitting bursts of fragrant leaves.

Wen Xi threw in some scallions and ginger to bring out the aroma, then some wild celery. Then she poured in the eggs.

The aroma instantly becomes stronger. Finally, add the yellow paste. A unique aroma hits your nose. Finally, pour a ladle of water in and cover the pot.

Then he saw three pairs of eyes staring at him.

"Sister, it smells good."

Gu Shengmo also cooperated by sniffing.

The food in the Great Chu Dynasty was usually cooked by stewing, boiling, braising and steaming.

So the first time they saw stir-fry was from Wen Xi.

Although Mao and Xiangye also learned how to stir-fry for a while, they always felt that it was a little bit lacking.

When the noodles are almost out, rinse them twice. The egg sauce is ready.

After calling Ye Erniang, the group started their special lunch.

The tangled noodles, paired with the egg sauce with a strong sauce flavor, are very appetizing.

The noodles soaked in spring water add extra points to this noodle dish.

This spring water is really sweet, and it would be even better if I used it to soak cold noodles. I will definitely try it if I get the chance.

Then several people ate too much.
