Joe's Farming

Qiao Yu tried mixing ground rice flour with sweet potato starch, then adding water and kneading it into a dough, which is similar to making sweet potato flour.

However, the cooked rice noodles have a softer texture and are suitable for cold dishes or stir-frying.

Qiao Yu then tried adding starch to the rice noodles and mixing them with water to make a paste, spreading it on a flat plate and steaming it. It was like the rice rolls he had eaten in his previous life, but a little thicker.

After steaming, cut it into thin strips. It tastes good, but the process is too complicated.

You can just improve it and try to sell rice rolls.

Qiao Yu stopped only when the rice noodles he made were enough for the family to eat for two days.

I fried some delicious meat sauce and made dry rice noodles for everyone.

Everyone thought it was delicious, but Qiao Yu was still a little dissatisfied because it was not the kind of rice noodles he wanted in a casserole.

It is also difficult to preserve and can only be made as needed.

This means more labor costs.

Gu Feng couldn't bear to see his husband frowning, so he asked him what was wrong.

Qiao Yu then told her what she was not satisfied with.

The food Gu Feng cooks is just barely tasty enough to kill people, and he has no idea what kind of taste Qiao Yu wants.

Finally, it was Li Xin who said, "How about combining the two methods?"

Qiao Yu became interested.

Li Xin continued: "Brother, didn't you say that it was mainly a problem of taste? Then it must be a problem of the way the raw materials were processed.

I remember seeing the traditional method of making rice noodles when I was traveling...out for fun.

It is to directly beat the rice into rice paste, then filter it, and finally knead it into a ball and steam it in a pot. After it is steamed, it is pressed into rice noodles with a mold. "

Qiao Yu slapped his head and said, "Yes, the mold! I'm so stupid. The taste of the round rice noodles will definitely be different, just like the sweet potato noodles."

Qiao Yu turned to Gu Feng and said, "Brother Gu, please make a mold for me later."

Seeing that Qiao Yu was happy again, Gu Feng immediately agreed.

Let's leave the building of the house to Uncle Dali and the others.

-

In the afternoon, Gu Feng made two molds with different holes according to Qiao Yu's instructions.

It's like there are many small round holes at the bottom of a wooden barrel. When you press the steamed rice paste into it, thin rice noodles will come out.

Qiao Yu took this opportunity to soak a large basin of rice. After it had absorbed enough water, he went to his aunt's house to borrow a stone mill to grind it into rice slurry.

After the pulp is ground, it must be sieved again to remove impurities.

Finally, pour the rice slurry into a steamer and steam it. After steaming, the rice slurry solidifies into blocks. Then put it into a mold and press it into rice noodles.

After the long and thin rice noodles were rolled, Qiao Yu had a premonition of success and hugged Gu Feng excitedly.

"Husband, you are so amazing!"

After cutting the pressed rice noodles into the desired length, place them in a ventilated place to cool naturally, and then wait for them to dry.

The dried rice noodles are very suitable for storage and can be cooked directly when eating.

Qiao Yu said excitedly: "This is the rice noodle I want."

And just like sweet potato noodles, he can promote the recipe and then he only needs to collect the rice noodles and won’t have to make them himself.

During this period, because we have to make century eggs and salted duck eggs, the house is filled with jars of pickled eggs.

Qiao Yu felt really tired.

He planned to build a new factory at the foot of the mountain to process food. He could then recruit long-term workers from the village or buy people from the dental clinic.

For simple production methods like rice noodle and sweet potato flour, he would promote them for free, and then select the best ones for himself.

After Qiao Yu demonstrated it once, Bai Lan learned it.

Suddenly, more than a dozen baskets of rice noodles were drying in the yard.

Brother Wen happened to come in the evening to hand in the account books, and the trial operation of the new store was very successful.

However, customers reported that hot and sour noodles alone were too monotonous, and they couldn’t just eat hot and sour noodles every day.

Wen Ge'er said, "I have discussed it with my aunt and asked them to send 20 portions of braised pork rice to our store every day. We also prepare some skewers in advance and bring them over so that customers can choose. The hot and sour noodles here have to be made on the spot, so they can't be sent over in advance, but I can send someone to deliver them after they order."

Qiao Yu nodded: "Have you recruited enough people?"

Brother Wen nodded: "I hired two and tried them today. I think they are okay."

Qiao Yu suggested: "Hire two more. I made some new food today. You can stay and learn from it.

We will also sell new stores in the future. The stoves also need to be modified. I have ordered something and you can go to the blacksmith shop to pick it up tomorrow."

Wen Ge'er quickly agreed. He also wanted to know what food Qiao Yuxin was going to make.

"By the way, I plan to open the new store in five days, and then I will give all customers a 20% discount."

Qiao Yu gave another order.

"it is good!"

"Come on, I told you to do it."

In fact, it is very simple to make casserole rice noodles. Just prepare the ingredients in advance, add water or bone broth to the casserole, and put all the ingredients in one by one.

Bai Lan stewed bone soup in the afternoon, and Qiao Yu fried crispy pork.

Qiao Yu asked Wen Ge'er to put the bone soup first, and then add rice noodles, crispy pork, kelp, radish slices, tofu skin, and fried peanuts. Not much of each was put in, but it looked very rich. Put some chopped green onions, sesame oil, and salt when it came out of the pot.

“If you want to eat chili, you can add it yourself, if you don’t want to, you don’t have to add it. It is not recommended to add soy sauce, which will destroy the original flavor.

I don’t have time to prepare it today, otherwise I could add some dried day lily and some bean sprouts, it would taste even better.”

When Qiao Yu was talking to Wen Ge'er, she also cooked a bowl and added some chili sauce.

It is red and looks very appetizing.

Wen Geer tasted a little of each with a small bowl: "They are both delicious, but I prefer the clear soup, it's very fresh."

Qiao Yu blinked proudly: "Not only that, you can also add kimchi and sauerkraut, and then it will have a different taste.

I like to add chili peppers, the kind that is crushed and mixed with garlic.

Unfortunately, the chili peppers have not yet produced any fruit.”

Wen Ge'er's eyes lit up: "I understand, clear soup is the most basic, and guests can add other flavors according to their own taste.

Brother Qiao, how come you are so smart? This way of eating is not available in other restaurants. "

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "That's why I told you to hire two more people so that you won't be too busy when the time comes.

If you add more ingredients, you will be charged more. I am thinking of making a special menu, writing down every kind of topping you want to add, and charging more for adding more, and no charge for not adding any."

He didn't dare put all the condiments on the table and let the customers add them themselves like in the modern world.

"Okay. I'll start selling this rice noodle in the store tomorrow."

Qiao Yu smiled sheepishly: "Uh... let's wait a few days. It feels like what we made today is not enough for our family."

Brother Wen also smiled awkwardly: "Yes, yes, tell me when you can sell it. I will recruit two more people tomorrow."

Finally, Qiao Yu asked Wen Ge'er to take the two bowls of casserole back to let the Wang family taste them, and he and Bai Lan cooked more than ten bowls.

Qiao Yu prepared kimchi, sauerkraut, hot sauce, coriander and garlic, and let everyone add as they pleased.

It was the first time for everyone to see this way of eating. While they were curious about the novelty, they were also impressed by the small casserole rice noodles.

One bowl was not enough for Gu Feng and Gu Gang, so Qiao Yu quickly made another bowl for them.

Gu Feng watched from the side and said to his husband thoughtfully: "This is easy. I can do it myself in the future."
