Chapter 247: Unauthentic Yangchun Noodles
The old man looked at the ugly set of teacups on the table. He had tea to drink. Although the teacups were a bit ugly, they were at least a token of his apprentice's thoughtfulness. He nodded reluctantly.
But that expression looked like he was going to go to jail.
Zhou Guo smiled and took out two kilograms of tea leaves. It was fine as long as you could drink the tea, as it was all placed in the cup. If this thing had been made in her previous life, she would have had someone specially make it like this.
He also took out several large bags of noodles and placed them on the table. "We will eat this in the morning from now on."
Everyone looked at the packets of dry noodles and swallowed.
Li sighed and said, "Why buy this if you want to eat noodles? Just go to the grain store and buy a few buckets of flour and come back to make it yourself. This money is enough to buy as much flour as you want."
Zhou Mai stared at the noodles and said, "Aunt, the noodles we roll at home are not as delicious as these!"
The rest of the Zhou family nodded.
The last time I ate this kind of noodles was a few years ago. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, each person in my family got a small bowl of it. The taste is still remembered today.
Li nodded helplessly, "Yes, it smells good, but with your appetite, I'm afraid this pack won't be enough for one meal."
I'm afraid Zhou Guo can only eat half a pack by himself.
Zhou Xing smiled and said, "Noodles are expensive, so we can't eat them to our heart's content. One bowl per person is enough every morning. If you're not full, you can drink porridge."
No one said a word of objection. Being able to eat a bowl of noodles every morning was already something they couldn't even dream of, let alone expecting to have it as a meal.
Zhou Guo was dumbfounded. He originally wanted to buy some noodles to eat in the morning for a few days to change his taste, but he didn't expect that he would still have to drink porridge. However, if he really ate to his heart's content, the others would probably have nothing to eat.
It's better to ask for less. It's nice to eat something fresh. At least it's not just porridge. Well, sir, your face is turning green from drinking so much.
……
Early the next morning, after practicing his martial arts, Zhou Guo stood guard by the stove.
Zhou Xing was busy washing rice and cooking porridge. Seeing her little figure squatting at her feet, she said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll cook your noodles when the porridge is ready. You don't need to stay here to watch."
Li came over, looking angry and amused, "If you don't want to work, go to the side. You're squatting here blocking the road."
Zhou Guo had no choice but to stand up and walk away.
I looked around and everyone was doing their own thing, but I didn't see the gentleman.
I stretched my neck and looked outside, and sure enough, there was someone in the vegetable garden.
Every day when he has nothing to do, he goes to the vegetable garden.
She went out to the vegetable garden, and when she got there, she saw the old man with his hands behind his back, hunched over, looking left and right in the vegetable garden.
It has been a long time since the vegetable seeds were sown, and she watered them every two days. Since they sprouted, the seedlings have been growing rapidly. The beans have been put on racks, and the cucumbers are planted in a circle along the vegetable garden, and racks have been put on them early. The green leaves and vines have begun to climb the racks, and they will be ready to eat in ten days or half a month.
The white radish and cabbage seedlings are already edible and are growing well.
The old man was standing in front, looking at these two fresh and tender seedlings without moving.
The leek seeds also slowly emerged into seedlings, but the temperature was too high, so they grew slowly. The leeks transplanted from the mountains nearby had grown to half their original height.
The sunflowers have also sprouted.
Parsley grows the slowest, and only a few sprouts can be seen now. At first glance, it looks like nothing has been planted.
The several clumps of onions moved from Aunt Chen's house are also growing well.
It’s just right, I can use it to cook noodles in the morning.
I walked forward and pulled a few, looking at the fresh and tender radish leaves and cabbage seedlings, I squatted down and pulled a small handful as well, feeling sad if I pulled too many.
This made the old man feel distressed. "They haven't grown up yet. Why are you pulling them? How many bites can you eat?"
The old man also reclaimed the land, watered and fertilized it. When his apprentice was not available, he did this work. It was heartbreaking to see the small seedlings that he had raised with his own hands being pulled out one by one.
Zhou Guo raised the small green vegetables in his hand and said, "Master, vegetables are planted to be eaten. Why would you plant them if you don't want to eat them?"
The old man said, "If you want to grow them to eat, you have to wait until they grow up."
Although Zhou Guo felt a little distressed, he didn't look so distressed. He laughed and said, "Master, I sowed more seeds when I planted them, just to have them to eat when they grow to this point. Otherwise, how can they grow big when they are so densely packed together? Don't worry, you will have enough to eat when you grow."
Seeing that he was still staring at the vegetable seedlings in his hand, he said, "Aren't we going to make noodles this morning? Putting two green vegetables in the noodles will make them delicious and look good."
The old man looked up to the sky and sighed.
Zhou Guo only drank two bowls of porridge in the morning, leaving room for noodles.
Put a little oil, a few chopped green onions, dried shrimps, pine mushroom powder, soy sauce, and salt in a bowl, then pour boiling water in it and a fragrant aroma will come out.
Put the noodles in and put a few blanched green and tender vegetable sprouts on top, and a bowl of green white jade noodles is ready.
Zhou Guo sat at the table, holding his bowl and took a sip of soup first.
Fresh and delicious.
Take a bite of noodles.
Smooth and chewy.
The key is that it doesn’t irritate the throat at all!!
What a delicious breakfast! It has been a long time since she had such a delicious breakfast. After taking a sip of the soup, her eyebrows were raised with joy. There was matsutake in the oil, and with the addition of shrimp skin and pine mushroom powder, the taste was even more layered.
The Zhou family members held their bowls, with their heads down in silence, slurping the food with great enjoyment.
The old man only took one bite and had already forgotten the fresh and juicy vegetable sprouts in the bowl. He had the honor of eating such noodles only once in Jiangnan. The little apprentice was really amazing and could cook delicacies from all over the world.
Zhou Guo finished one bowl and then ate another.
The delicious food is so filling that even after my mouth is full I still want to eat more. I drank a big bowl of soup and touched my stomach. If I couldn’t eat any more, I would really like to have another bowl. If that doesn’t work, drinking some soup is also fine.
"Oh my god, I didn't know noodles could be so delicious. The ones I ate before didn't taste like this. There were eggs back then, but here there are not even any eggs!" Zhou Gu finished the last sip of soup, licked the bowl, put down the bowl, and excitedly slapped the table, he was dizzy with the fragrance.
Zhou Dabang nodded, "I remember the noodles I ate before seemed to taste like this. At that time, there was still a noodle taste, but this bowl of noodles has no noodle taste, it's all fresh taste."
Zhou Xing also agreed.
Li smiled and said, "It will probably cost a lot of money in the future."
Zhou Mai and Zhou Mi no longer remember, but this bowl of noodles is the most delicious noodles. They looked at Zhou Guo and said, "Shall we do the same tomorrow?"
Zhou Guo held the bowl and smiled, "This is very simple. You can see it. Put in oil, salt, soy sauce, scallions, shrimp skin and rice noodles, pour in boiling water, scoop in the cooked noodles, and you can eat it. It may taste better without adding any vegetables." The vegetables covered up some of the delicious flavor.
But everyone was very satisfied with the food, and the old man finally said: "It tastes better than the ones made in ordinary noodle shops."
