Chapter 143 Rolling Noodles



After deciding what to cook for lunch, the four people in the cafeteria got busy.

Sun Lai Di went to chop wood, and the remaining three people prepared to make noodles.

Yi Qingqing came up with some ideas, but she still needed help from Aunt Guihua and Aunt Dongmei in some areas.

"Aunt, I'm not sure how much I should make, so I need your help," Yi Qingqing said.

Aunt Guihua said it was very simple. She took a large wooden basin and scooped out the sorghum noodles for lunch.

Then Yi Qingqing took out the wheat flour to be used according to the amount of sorghum flour and placed it on the clean large table.

"This sorghum flour needs to be mixed with water and boiled into a paste first, and then the sorghum flour is added to knead it into dough. This amount is a bit large, and I'm afraid it will be a bit slow to boil in one pot. Let's use two stoves!"

Yi Qingqing said.

"I can cook this sorghum porridge. We can use the two adjacent stoves to cook it. I often make sorghum dough, so I should be able to do it. You can also take care of it if there are any problems," Aunt Guihua suggested. After listening to Xiao Yi Zhiqing's description of the dough, they roughly knew what it was.

She is also someone who cooks a lot, and she immediately realized that the difficulty of wrapping the noodles lies in how to wrap them: "Is the amount of wheat flour used in this wrapping noodles more difficult, and is the later stage of rolling the noodles more difficult? The dough should be just ordinary dough, right?"

"You are very smart, that's how it is," Yi Qingqing praised, "So Aunt Dongmei, the job of kneading the flour dough will be handed over to you. I heard that you are the best in the team at kneading dough!"

These two people were praised in this speech, and both Aunt Guihua and Aunt Dongmei smiled.

The three of them started working in a hurry.

Seeing that they were about to light the fire to cook the sorghum porridge, Sun Zhaodi said, "No one is lighting the fire here. How about I help you light the fire first and chop wood later?"

"You're welcome. It's just boiling water and cooking sorghum flour paste. The heat doesn't require much effort. We can do it ourselves. You don't need to put down your work to help us," Yi Qingqing said.

She can be a smiling tiger and a dagger hidden in cotton.

Sun Zhaodi: “…”

She imagined the wood as Yi Qingqing, and chopped it with great force, one stroke at a time.

Yi Qingqing was still joking with Aunt Guihua and the others: "Aunt Sun is really good at chopping wood. She's quite strong. I'm afraid I'm not as good as her. You picked the right person for this job!"

"You mischievous ghost!" Aunt Guihua found her vindictiveness very amusing.

Sun Zhaodi was almost mad with anger, her arms were sore from chopping. What did Yi Qingqing mean by that? She said that she was good at chopping, so she deserved this job?

Why did she chop wood so hard just because she hated her? She didn't even chop her own wood so hard. Whatever, she was going to take her time!

After just a few minutes of dawdling, Yi Qingqing noticed, "Aunt Sun, are you tired of chopping wood? Take a break and keep working! We depend on you for the firewood supply for cooking!"

After she said this, the other three people stared at her, and Sun Zhaodi could no longer waste time.

She regretted it. Why did she take revenge on her sister?

Instead of venting her anger, she hurt herself. I don't know if her sister will appreciate it or not!

Yi Qingqing and Aunt Guihua cooked the sorghum flour paste, slowly added sorghum flour into it, and kneaded it into sorghum dough.

Aunt Dongmei had also kneaded the white dough. Yi Qingqing pinched it and gave Aunt Dongmei a thumbs up: "It really lives up to its reputation!"

Yi Qingqing divided the dough into several pieces, two small white doughs and one large sorghum dough, and divided them into several portions. "I'll roll the first one first. You can watch first. We are all experienced in cooking and we all know how to roll noodles. We can get started quickly if we know some tricks. We want to save white flour and wrap the sorghum flour so that it doesn't fall apart. First of all, the sorghum flour or corn flour in the middle and the white flour skins on both sides need to be mixed to the right hardness. Now they are just right, we can start rolling them."

As she spoke, she started rolling out the white dough.

On the door-sized table, the dough was slowly rolled into a large pancake. "At this step, we just need to roll it out to the approximate shape and size. This size is about right."

“The sorghum filling can be rolled a little thicker, and then there’s another wheat flour pancake.”

Yi Qingqing rolled out two white flour cakes and a dark red sorghum flour cake, and placed the sorghum flour cake between the two white flour cakes.

"Now comes the most important part. Rolling out the sandwich dough requires a lot of strength. You must press it carefully so that the three layers of dough are fully bonded. As long as the proportion and hardness of the dough are well controlled, there will be no big problems in this step."

Yi Qingqing took the rolling pin and rolled it along, turned it, chopped it, rubbed it, and rolled it. The sandwich dough became thinner and thinner. "At this point, the dough is thin and shiny. It's almost done!"

She pointed to a large piece of sandwich dough and said that there was now a hint of dark red underneath the white flour, which was a sign that the dough was fully bonded together.

"This is really hard work!" said Aunt Guihua.

Although Xiao Yi Zhiqing looked quite relaxed, her movements were quite powerful. Women who have rolled out dough know how strenuous it is, let alone rolling out sandwich dough!

Many young wives are still not good at rolling noodles!

Everyone knows that Xiao Yizhiqing is capable, but this one is too capable. It's a pity that her two sons have already married, otherwise she would really want to bring such a good girl home.

However, Xiao Yizhiqing's family is well-off, she is capable, and most importantly, she knows what she is doing. Such a person can get along well anywhere and will not live a bad life, just like when she was young!

Aunt Dongmei was also amazed. She herself was very good at kneading dough, but it was not an easy job, so she knew how difficult it was to roll the dough to this degree. It required not only carefulness but also strength.

Who wouldn't like a girl like this? It's a pity that one of his sons is married and the other is always messing around, and is not worthy of such a good girl.

But Ying Hua is also a very talented person. Next time he comes back, he can introduce them to each other. Ying Hua is seven or eight years older than Xiao Yi Zhiqing, but older men also know how to care for others.

The big golden book now contains descriptions of Li Mengxue working in the fields. Yi Qingqing had no idea that Aunt Dongmei wanted to introduce the hero of the original book to her just because she saw her rolling out some noodles, otherwise she might have been in a delicate mood and was very scared.
