Chapter 233 The enviable noodles
She actually didn’t know where it came from, so she just said casually that whoever buys salt depends on the place of origin.
Liu Yunyan picked up a bag of salt and looked at it again and again. She thought that this kind of bag could only be used to hold rice, but it turned out that there were smaller ones.
During this period, everyone has truly seen the benefits of this kind of packaging. Shopkeeper Shen also said that this bag will affect the environment, but it is indeed easy to use and there is no material that can completely replace it.
Water vapor cannot penetrate, it is extremely tight.
If Daqi also had these things, the soldiers would no longer need to carry vinegar cloth. If there is a better choice, who would use that thing to add flavor.
"Manager Shen, are you coming to the celebration banquet tonight?" Liu Yunyan asked.
"If nothing else happens, I will go and have a look." The celebration banquet of the ancient border officers on their thirtieth year and the appearance of Shuozhou City.
Liu Yunyan smiled and nodded, "Then we will make arrangements first."
"Bring these fireworks for you, they will not be included in the payment." Shen You almost Forgot about it.
On the way back, they bought a lot more fireworks. When they went to the fireworks market, Wen Zhi said that he had never set off fireworks during the New Year.
Seeing that they couldn’t fit it in the trunk, they immediately said that the cost of finding a small car in the same city to carry the goods would be deducted from the cigarette money.
The most expensive one Wen Zhi bought cost tens of thousands. It is said that it was blue fireworks, something very romantic and full of stars.
Blue fireworks contain copper and are difficult to store and transport, so they are expensive.
The boss who sells fireworks said that the sales are quite good. They are all bought by big bosses. There are very few in stock, so they usually need to be booked in advance.
Shen You's mind was filled with the video he had just watched, Nian Beast: This high-end game.
The big fireworks can't be set off in Jiangcheng. They have to go to the snowy mountains of Daqi to set them off, which is safer.
After Liu Yunyan and Uncle Zhou left with their things, Shen You put down the treasures that he had dug up and cleaned them up when he had time. It was time to prepare the ingredients.
Wash your hands, roll up your sleeves, and look at the lively lobsters in deep thought.
"I'll do it." Wen Zhi took out the kitchen knife with a familiarity.
Shen You stepped back and left the seafood to him, while she went to prepare other ingredients.
The dry goods are soaked in advance, the beef that needs to be marinated is prepared, and the necessary dumplings for the New Year are prepared.
In her hometown, people actually eat glutinous rice balls during the Chinese New Year, but Shen You thinks the glutinous rice balls are too greasy, so she waits until the Lantern Festival to eat them, so she will make dumplings this year.
Use a household meat grinder for the meat filling and add your favorite ingredients.
A total of three kinds of fillings were made, three delicacies, beef, and classic pork and cabbage fillings. If you can’t finish it in one meal, you can put it in the frozen layer of the refrigerator and you can still eat it in the next few days.
She made it at home. Although it wasn't particularly pretty, it still looked like a serious dumpling.
The two of them were busy inside and outside the kitchen. Shen You sat at the dining table. She used to support the old craftsman to buy a bamboo dustpan, which was perfect for putting dumplings.
While making dumplings, you can also watch a video on how to make intangible cultural heritage.
The sun is setting outside the window, and the afterglow shines on the dumplings with large fillings and thin skins and the bustling New Year flowers.
From time to time, the sound of cutting vegetables and faucets can be heard in the kitchen. Looking from Shen You's perspective, you can see the shadow of the ground tilted and lengthened by the setting sun. Behind the half-open kitchen curtain, a slender figure is busy. Faintly visible.
If this were the fireworks in the world when thousands of houses were lit up, it would indeed be beautiful, she thought.
After working for a long time, I finally finished the food preparation work. The soup has been simmered, and it will be almost time to cook later.
It was already dark in the north. Shen You put on his coat and cloak and appeared in Shuozhou City with Wen Zhi.
This place does not have the modern bustle and prosperity of the peaceful and prosperous times, but it has a simple flavor.
Everyone with someone at home basically posted new couplets, and the better ones even bought door god paintings.
Several wealthy households doing business were even more decorated. Shen You didn't go to the main hall of the report celebration banquet. She, Uncle Zhou and the others played with snow sticks with the grandson of the uncle who worked in the barracks.
The celebration banquet was inevitably full of undercurrents. When she went, there must be someone who wanted to find out her details and the route of transporting supplies.
She didn’t want to deal with the Chinese New Year.
This old man was the one who said he would cover her escape. When the reinforcements arrived, there was a shortage of people in the logistics kitchen, so he and his family just stayed behind to work. They didn’t have much money, but they provided food and drink for the whole family.
Several ancient children couldn't take their eyes away when they saw the snowflake stick, and they wowed several times.
They have never seen such fun and beautiful fireworks. They really look like snowflakes when lit.
The soldiers who were given noodles and pancakes with well-seasoned ham also ate happily.
I don’t know where I bought the soy sauce, plus crushed pepper, salt and oil, and cooked the noodles with large ham bone soup. It was fragrant, so fragrant.
I said before that the life of the soldiers under the two Pang family generals was good, but now it seems that it is still not as good as them.
Look at their bowl of noodles, even the two generals of the Pang family might not be able to eat it!
Liu Yunyan said to the outside world that the Liu family had spent money to ask experts to send food, and it was reasonable to give priority to the city defenders under her command and the team on the side of the national division.
Even if you are dissatisfied, endure it.
The soldiers on duty tonight, regardless of whether they were soldiers under her command, could also receive ham noodles, which moved everyone very much.
“Brother, didn’t you say that the defenders of Shuozhou City lived a hard life, suffering from cold and starvation, but you are eating so well?”
The officer on duty, who had been staring for a long time, said in shock.
Is there any way to get him to serve under General Liu? Life here is hard, these are magical days!
"Brother, why don't you recommend me."
Vice General Situ, who had just slipped out to sober up, made a bowl. He finished the soup and noodles in two mouthfuls and almost had to put the bowl together. have eaten.
He was also surprised that Liu Yunyan could distribute such good food to everyone.
And the rice and noodles her soldiers have been eating these past few days can match the quality of those from wealthy families.
They could only eat brown rice and hard pancakes during the march from the capital. It was only during the Chinese New Year that they had barbecue.
"It was like that in the past. It's not just that the Imperial Master invited the master to bring us food. The key is the relationship between General Liu and the master. There's nothing to say!" Liu Yunyan's young general said proudly .
Vice General Situ suddenly realized that she had established a relationship with him first.
“Give me another bowl, this noodle is so delicious.” He raised the bowl and looked at the soup in the pot with greedy eyes.
At this time, in the main hall, under the flickering candlelight, the generals were toasting and drinking together. There was no sound of silk and bamboo, and coupled with the bleak Northland, there was an even more impassioned atmosphere.
"This glass of wine is a tribute to the national master. The two battles were really satisfying! The shame of the year can be regarded as being beaten back by us."
In those days, the foreigners destroyed the city all the way and fought. To outside the capital.
Wen Zhi drank the first cup. After someone said something nice and toasted alone, Wen Zhi coughed lightly, pretending that his injury was not healed, and wanted to drink tea instead of wine.
General Qi Tai said hurriedly, "The master's health is in critical condition, I will drink for him."
After drinking for two rounds, someone asked, "Master Imperial Master, where does that expert come from? He is so capable of transporting grain in."
Wen Zhi held a rough hand He took a sip of tea from the pottery bowl, and his simple movements made him look particularly graceful.
"She once taught me stargazing and fortune-telling, but unfortunately I have no talent."
Everyone: Seriously? Don't you have any talent? ? ?
Then what are they?
Obviously, everyone doesn't believe in the argument that she has no talent, but they also understand what's going on. The national masters have all been taught by her, shouldn't they be very capable? !
No wonder the Imperial Master is also henpecked, it turns out that one is even more powerful!
