Chapter 2798 Brewing and Vermicelli Pressing
The little lolita/fairy was going to make Double Ninth Festival wine, and Young Master Xuan and the beasts were so excited that their eyes were filled with little stars.
Young Master Yan and the beasts temporarily stopped their work and cleaned up the place without leaving any fishy smell. Young Master Xuan was busy until the morning of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year before putting out the last few pots of spiritual food.
Student Le Xiao dug a long pit in the middle of the vacant wooden shed, poured the embers from the stove into the pit to heat it, and also threw some firewood in to burn.
In the middle of the morning, the little loli made some rice.
Young Master Xuan, Calabash Boy, and Shui Dun helped, while Yan Xing and Bai Yin Ying Sheng each took a pair of huge stone mills from Little Loli's hands to grind powder and grind pulp.
Three little creatures sit on the mill turntable and help add ingredients.
After soaking the rice for two to three hours, pour it out and drain, and then soak a batch of rice again.
The water-drained spiritual rice is put into a large urn and a large pot, which are used for cooking and steaming rice. The large urn and large pot are placed directly on the stove, and several barrels of spiritual rice are steamed in a steamer.
Yan Shao and Baiyin Yingsheng worked as donkeys and pulled mills all day during the day, and they did not temporarily stop working until dark.
In the evening, a group of friends sat and cracked nuts and waited.
When the time passed, it was already the early morning of the ninth day of the lunar month, and the little loli started steaming rice.
Young Master Yan is a specialist in making fires. He has a special fire. He can summon a special fire and throw a wisp of it into the stove, and the stove will burn brightly.
He and Baiyin were responsible for managing the fire and adding firewood.
Ying Sheng, Xuan Shao, Shui Dun, and Calabash Baby helped pour out the soaked spiritual rice and drain it, or re-soak the spiritual rice, or help the little Lolita do other tasks.
The three little creatures are like bricks, they can be moved wherever they are needed.
There are more than a hundred pots and a large pot boiling water. Whenever any pot or vat needs water, there is also hot water to add.
Boil the spiritual rice in the big urn and evaporate the water. Place the roasting stand on the long fire pit. Move the urn over and place it over the fire embers to simmer. Put another pot on the big stove to cook the rice.
The first pot of rice was cooked over a temporary fire, so it took longer to cook on a cold stove and in a cold pot. The fastest pot of rice also took four hours to cook.
After midnight, the first pot of rice comes out of the oven.
The gourd boy helped the little fairy move the big pot off the stove, then poured the rice out, dissipated the heat, mixed the rice wine, and sealed it in a jar for fermentation.
After Little Loli moved away the first pot of rice, Mr. Xuan and Ying Sheng put another pot on the stove, poured in the spirit rice and continued to cook the rice. If any pot of rice was steamed, they also moved it down and poured it out. heat dissipation.
Neither Calabash Boy nor Mr. Xuan touched the task of mixing the wine koji, and the little Loli did it by herself.
Since the first pot of rice came out of the oven, the rice in other large urns, large pots, and steaming buckets have been cooked one after another, and the friends are very busy.
After the first batch of rice is mixed with koji and put into a jar for fermentation, the second round of rice is cooked one after another. Basically, there is not much time to rest in between.
The beasts are very happy and full of energy.
From day to night, Mr. Le Xiao and his friends kept steaming rice, mixing wine koji, and sealing it into altars. The Double Ninth Festival passed like that.
The last batch of rice was mixed with distiller's yeast and sealed in the jar. It was already past midnight on the tenth day of the lunar month.
Mr. Xuan, who was so tired that his back ached, sat down and showed up in panda paralysis, shouting in disbelief: "Little beauty, you actually cooked more than 30 million kilograms of spiritual rice in one day! How much wine will be harvested?"
"This batch of rice wine I brewed is rice wine. If it is the head of the wine, it will cost at most one million catties." Le Yun did not take a break. The rice noodles and rice milk grinded by Yan Shuaiguo and Beast Beast were put into the pot and steamed, and two more were steamed. Pot rice.
After the rice was put on the pot, Bai Yin was asked to take care of the fire, and he directed Yan Shuaiguo, Shui Dun, Ying Sheng and Calabash Baby to move the marinated fish to the stove for smoking.
The marinated fish were hung on the pole to dry the moisture. The hook was not unhooked when it was retracted into the space. Now it is just a matter of lifting the pole full of fish to the shelf of the wooden shed.
Little Loli wanted to make smoked fish, and Master Xuan couldn't rest well, so he jumped up to help.
The handsome guys and Beast Beast were responsible for hanging the fish, while Le Yun threw some charcoal and spices into several large stoves and ignored them.
The handsome guy and three humanoid beasts lifted the fish onto the shelf, and soon there were rows and rows of poles above the more than 100 large stoves, hung with strings of fish pieces.
After more than an hour, the rice milk is cooked.
Mr. Xuan and Calabash Man moved the pot to the ground and took out the rice milk bag wrapped in cloth.
The little Loli took out a hand-type vermicelli press and took out two wooden pillars to set them up.
When Yan Xing saw the little machine, he was shocked: "Little Lolita, you take the vermicelli press with you when you go out?
However, this is very different from the products in our hometown. In which province was this a local specialty found? ”
"Wrong, this is not brought from my hometown, it is made by Le's." Le Yun put the press on the wooden pier and tried it. It felt that the angle and height were suitable.
"Ah, little beauty, what's your brain? Why did you even think of this!" Mr. Xuan danced with excitement.
The little loli is so awesome!
They are also traveling. Others are worried about how to find resources and how to survive, but little loli is enjoying the mountains and rivers all the way, and she has not forgotten to eat!
Anyway, he didn't expect it. Even though he always regretted that he didn't have the raw materials to make pork stewed vermicelli for little Loli, he never thought of getting a machine to make vermicelli himself.
"I originally wanted to make an automatic machine, but I felt that it would lose the fun and sense of accomplishment. In the end, I chose to make it by hand."
Le Yun smiled, there was nothing she could do, she was surrounded by a group of foodies. In order to keep the foodies motivated, she could only occasionally put some thought into bringing people and beasts together.
The two handsome guys and the humanoid beast surrounded the machine. You went to give it a try, and he took the handle and pressed it to find the feeling. They had a great time.
The little loli let the handsome guy and the beasts study the machine, spooned the cooked rice slurry into a basin, added some seasonings and some medicinal soup, kneaded it, kneaded it into a big ball, and put it in the barrel of the press. inside.
The humanoid beasts were vying to be the coolies, and the calabash boy was the closest, successfully seizing the opportunity to be the squeezer.
Calabash Boy pulled the handle of the machine and pressed down, and the vermicelli was squeezed out of the barrel of the press. Each noodle was smooth, round and shiny.
The eagle was so clever that it flapped its wings gently, creating a little wind to dissipate the heat of the squeezed vermicelli.
The little Loli placed a few bamboo poles in the wooden shed again. When the vermicelli grew nearly one meter long, she cut a section about 40 kilometers long and put it on the bamboo poles to dry.
The gourd baby was happily pressing the handle, the hawk was fanning beside it, and the other two humanoid beasts and three little creatures were chirping and sipping from time to time.
Young Master Yan Shaoxuan was greedy and wanted to grab Calabash Baby's job, but in the end he held back. They were adults after all and had to maintain their own image.
Le Xiao’s classmates used different seasonings to prepare the rice paste dough, and studied each finished product. Once they knew what they were doing, they stopped working on it themselves, and Xuan Shao and Huluwa took over.
Shui Dun, Bai Yin, and Ying Sheng took turns controlling the small machine, and they were all experts at squeezing.
Press all the rice milk into vermicelli in one pot, steam the rice noodles ground into powder in another pot, and continue to press vermicelli.
Rice noodles also need to be kneaded for a while before entering the machine, and when the rice is steamed, it needs to be pounded in a stone hammer for a while to pound the rice and knead it into rice balls, and then put it into the machine for pressing.
It wasn't until noon of the next day that all the rice from several pots was pressed into vermicelli.
The result was pretty good, with dozens of poles filled with vermicelli.
In fact, for monks who have high-energy items like storage containers, the vermicelli does not need to be dried. The pressed vermicelli is cooked, put it away, and when you want to eat it, take it out and soak it in hot water and mix it with condiments. Just eat it.
However, Xiao Loli thinks that the vermicelli must be dried first, foamed in hot water before eating, thrown into boiling water and rolled around before putting it in a bowl, and then mixed with condiments, so that it tastes soulful.
This is also due to habit. The process of certain snacks has formed a deep-rooted concept in the mind. If any process is missing, it will make people feel unauthentic and unauthentic.
Classmate Le Xiao followed the old-fashioned process of making vermicelli and drying it. Young Master Yan Xuan, who is also from Earth, didn't notice anything wrong.
The humanoid beast and the three little creatures were all laymen, so they naturally followed blindly without question.
Therefore, neither humans nor humanoid beasts thought of storing the ingredients to squeeze fresh noodles when they wanted to eat something, nor did they think of storing the freshly squeezed noodles.
The beasts and beasts were still excited after all the hard work, and excitedly took out the spiritual rice they had stored, shouting that they would steam the rice again and press vermicelli, and they would save a lot of dry food.
After all, they have big appetites and can eat a lot in one meal. The little vermicelli made by the little fairy is not enough for a meal in their eyes.
The main reason is that it takes more than 20 days to smoke the fish, and it takes a while for the camellia oleifera fruits to be picked, so the beasts have time to make vermicelli.
Le Yun did not object. She only asked the beasts and handsome guys to prepare the smoked fish in a few days, pick the camellia oleifera fruits, and arrange the coniferous spiritual planting space.
Mr. Xuan didn't object to his friend Beast Beast continuing to make vermicelli, and worked hard to help soak the rice.
Mr. Yan, in the technical work of making spiritual meals, he can only participate in one or two processes where he should try not to touch the ingredients.
Therefore, he was gloriously reduced to a fireman, and at most he occasionally operated the machine and was a little expert in squeezing.
In short, he is just a handyman and a hard worker.
For the sake of Lingshan's stuttering food, Young Master Yan was very... courageous and accepted his fate and worked hard.
Isn't there an old saying in Sangzi - you can't blame the government for your miserable life. He was born with such spiritual roots and had no chance to be a cook, so he was destined to work hard.
People, you should accept your fate.
A man who knows the current affairs is a hero, and Yan Xing feels that he is a very qualified hero.
A group of friends were very busy, busy making vermicelli and smoking fish. It was not until the smoked fish was almost out of the oven that they finally stopped steaming rice to make vermicelli.
Each batch of smoked fish was taken off the shelves at different times. The shortest batch was smoked for seventeen days, and the larger ones or those on the outermost side were smoked longer, taking twenty-three days.
All the deliciously smoked fish are off the shelves, and the camellia oleifera fruit picking season is ushering in.
