Chapter 400: Smooth Noodles
In order to meet the needs of hard labor, local governments strictly enforce laws and sentences are based on the highest standards, without any room for maneuver.
As for the various places that supervise labor, in order to speed up the work, one can imagine the severity of the harshness.
Therefore, there has always been a saying in the world that if you are sentenced to hard labor, you have basically lost half your life. If you are sentenced to hard labor for three to five years, it is equivalent to losing your life. It is the default that people cannot come back.
Manager Fu had also heard about Yueran Restaurant from Xia Mingyue before, and knew that Zou Fuquan was also a small-minded person with evil intentions.
This person has made troubles time and time again, and this time he is even more unscrupulous. It shows that he has bad intentions and is a complete disaster in the world. As long as he speaks a little in front of Magistrate Zhang, Magistrate Zhang will know what to do.
This Zou Fuquan will never appear in front of everyone again!
Hearing this, Xia Mingyue nodded slightly, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's all as it should be." Manager Fu smiled and said with concern, "Ms. Xia and Commander Lu have made this happen It’s been a hard journey, and it’s getting late now, so go back and take a rest, I’ll take care of the rest.”
Xia Mingyue knew that Manager Fu had a strong background and could handle this matter properly. Then he and Lu Qiyan took Wu Jin back first.
After returning home, Xia Mingyue cooked and prepared meals herself, with Jiang Zhuguo helping.
What was prepared for Wu Jin was the river shrimp wontons that had been promised before.
The skin is thin and the filling is big. It fills half the pot. After cooking, Wu Jin scoops them all into the earthen pot. There are so many wontons that they almost overflow.
Wu Jin was ecstatic when he saw this, but he did not forget to bark "woof woof" at Xia Mingyue twice before going to eat in front of the earthen pot and wolfing down the food.
After Wu Jin settled down, Xia Mingyue went to prepare meals for her and Lu Qiyan.
Remembering that Lu Qiyan liked to eat noodles, Xia Mingyue felt that ordinary noodles were too ordinary, so she decided to make something unique this time.
Sip the noodles.
Stir-fried shredded tenderloin in a wok, add diced tomatoes, diced mushrooms, shredded fungus, soaked day lily, shredded fried tofu, shredded egg pancakes, etc., with soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, salt, glutinous rice flour When the seasoning is complete, add boiling water and simmer for a while to make a fragrant and rich noodle stew.
Then mix the soy flour with white flour and add boiling water to form a soft dough.
The key to making Jianer noodles is to slurp them. The tool used to make Jianer noodles is called a press bed, which is a wooden tic-tac-shaped shelf covered with a noodle racket with multiple holes as thick as chopsticks. Use the tip of the squeezing tip to push the mixed soybean and white flour dough hard, so that the dough forms a noodle-like shape from the holes in the squeezing bed and falls into the pot.
Put the noodles into the pot, cook them in boiling water, take them out and rinse them with cold water to make the noodles more chewy and refreshing, then pour the fragrant noodle marinade on top...
Two steaming bowls of noodles The Jian'er noodles were quickly served on the table, and Xia Mingyue asked Jiang Zhuguo to go to the central kitchen to get some braised pork and braised vegetables, along with pickled pickles.
Lu Qiyan was already empty, but the toppings on the noodles were full of ingredients, and the noodles had a faint yellow color due to the use of bean flour, making the color even more attractive, which only made Lu Qiyan feel hungry. The greedy insects came out of their holes and made a sound like beating drums.
But thinking that Xia Mingyue took so long to eat dinner and was even busy satisfying his taste, Lu Qiyan felt heartbroken and just put the large piece of braised pork into Xia Mingyue's bowl.
"Hurry up, lady."
After Xia Mingyue moved the chopsticks, Lu Qiyan took the chopsticks and put a bowl full of noodles into his mouth.
The chewy Jian'er noodles have a unique taste. The bean noodles have a unique fragrance, which is comfortable and easy to digest. The stew is rich in flavor and has a rich taste in the mouth...
Yummy! Sure enough, the most delicious thing in the world must come from the hands of a lady!
Lu Qiyan was extremely emotional, and the movements in his hands became a little faster.
Seeing Lu Qiyan eating with great interest, Xia Mingyue narrowed her eyes with a smile.
The happiest thing in life is that as a cook, the meals you cook can be fully recognized by the diners, and you eat them cleanly without leaving any leftovers.
The happiest thing among them is to cook for the one you like, and the person you like eats it like a wolf and wolfs it down.
Full sense of accomplishment!
After working hard all day, Xia Mingyue and Lu Qiyan took an early rest after dinner.
The next day, Xia Mingyue got up early as usual.
After getting up, I was very busy.
First of all, we are busy disposing of the live sheep that have been purchased but have eaten white deer grass.
Xia Mingyue went to ask Yin Lingyou about this matter.
Yin Lingyou's reply is that there is no need to deal with it too much. You only need to let the sheep eat more, drink more and run more every day. It will only take 30 days at most. The sour and bitter taste in the sheep will be caused by eating white deer grass. The amount that is discharged is almost the same and can be eaten normally.
This made Xia Mingyue and others breathe a sigh of relief.
It’s just a matter of raising it for an extra half month, and supplementing it with some more fodder and labor. The loss is not too big, and nothing is wasted.
Guanshi Fu immediately arranged the matter, and for the sake of safety, all the sheep purchased previously were taken to other places and kept in captivity for more than a month, so as to avoid wasting the mutton after slaughtering and discovering that the mutton was unusable. The condition of things.
But as a result, there was a shortage of ingredients originally prepared for the Yipin pot.
Fortunately, He Shunzi always prefers to reserve more supply sources, so in addition to Lijiazhuang, a few places where live sheep can be purchased, there are several other villages where many live sheep can be purchased.
After getting Pei Youguang's confession from the government office and confirming that there was no area where Bailuliancao was sold, a batch of live sheep were collected from those villages. After returning, they would be bled to make sure there were no problems, and then slaughtered.
In order to ensure that there is no problem with the mutton used in Yipin Guo, each freshly cut mutton must be sampled and tasted to control the quality as much as possible.
Guanshi Fu fully agreed with Xia Mingyue's proposal and immediately arranged for someone to do it.
Although this approach seems a bit troublesome and the method is a bit clumsy, it is the most effective and the best way to ensure the best reputation of Yipinguo.
Be quick and it won’t delay the normal opening of Yipinguo.
Secondly, it is about how people in Lijiazhuang and other villages were deceived into feeding sheep and eating white deer grass.
The government will come forward to inform everyone of the toxicity and danger of Bailuliancao, confiscate all remaining Bailuliancao, and strictly prohibit the use of this substance. Any consequences caused by the private use of this substance will be borne by the individual bear.
When all the villagers heard about this, they were terrified and did not dare to do any deception. They handed over all the remaining white deer and grass at home. When they fed the sheep again, they also fed them in a disciplined manner. Don’t dare think of any other so-called shortcuts and be clever.
Zi Jian'er noodles are popular in Shanxi and northern Shaanxi. Bean noodles, stick noodles, and even pea noodles can be used. There is no fixed combination of noodles and braised noodles. You can cook them according to your personal taste. I ate them when I was a child. My grandma made bean noodles and I thought it tasted good, so I wrote about bean noodles here~
