The Beginning of Siheyuan: The Pig Killer of Qinjia Village

After dinner in the evening, we sit down and chat together to pass the time.

The gluten has been steamed when cooking, and it is steamed in cold water for about 15 minutes. In fact, the gluten can also be made without yeast, but it will be a little hard after steaming, depending on your taste.

By around 7:30 in the evening, the kitchen was probably not used by anyone.

Chang Wei looked at the precipitated batter, which had already settled, with a layer of yellow water on top. He called Ding Yan and Liang Ladi over, and said as he worked on it. "Mom, Ladi, come and see, pour out all the yellow water on top until the white batter comes out."

After he finished pouring the yellow water, he led the way out with the batter in his hand. "Come on, let's go to the kitchen and boil some water first."

They went to the kitchen together and Liang Ladi boiled water.

Chang Wei took out the four enamel tea trays he bought in the afternoon. Now there are no stainless steel plates, so he can only use this as a substitute.

Wash it clean, dry it, and apply a layer of oil.

While waiting for the water to boil, Chang Wei also explained the method of making cold noodles without washing the noodles. The difference is that there is no gluten, and the cold noodles made without washing the noodles are not as crystal clear and chewy.

After Liang Ladi's water boiled, Chang Wei stirred the batter evenly. The rice spoon at home was relatively large, so Chang Wei scooped a spoonful of batter onto the tea tray and shook it evenly. Put the tea tray into the boiling water, cover it with a lid, and steam it over high heat. "Mom, Ladi, you saw how I did it! The tea tray we use is thicker and will take longer to heat. So the specific time depends on whether the cold skin has bubbles. Normally, three to five minutes will be enough."

It was his first time, so Chang Wei wanted to know the exact time to use the tea tray. He quietly opened a corner of the pot lid and saw that the cold noodles in the pot had already started to bubble. After about five minutes, he directly removed the lid. "Mom, you see, the bubbles that appear mean that the cold noodles are cooked. I just timed it, and it takes about five minutes to steam each time. Ladi, you have a watch to remember the time."

As he spoke, Chang Wei placed the steamed cold skin along with the tea tray on cold water to cool it down, then brushed a layer of oil on the cold skin while explaining the process.

"Putting it in cold water can speed up the cooling of the cold noodles. Rinse it with a layer of oil to prevent them from sticking together when stacked. Mom, you can try to do it with the other tea trays."

Ding Yan and Liang Ladi tried it separately. The operation is very simple, just remember the steps. Qin Huairu, who was interested, also tried to make one, and the cold noodles she made turned out very good.

Make it thinner. Two pounds of flour can make ten sheets. Today was my first time making it, so I was not very familiar with it and only made eight sheets.

"Mom, as you can see, cold noodle itself has no taste, it only provides taste. So now we need to pair it with side dishes and seasonings. I have a soup recipe here that can make its taste unique. In summer, it only needs to be paired with cucumber shreds and other seasonal vegetables for a cold salad. When it is sold in winter, we can add a stove and simply stir-fry it with seasonings and side dishes, so that it is suitable for all seasons. I have already bought the ingredients for the soup recipe, and it needs to be boiled in a pot for an hour. Just add a little when stirring each serving of cold noodle in the future..." Chang Wei explained and instructed carefully, and demonstrated the method of making chili oil again.

After everything was taught, they returned to the room. Chang Wei mixed the cold noodles with cucumber shreds, salt, vinegar and other condiments, and spicy oil, and presented them with red and green cold noodles.

Looking at the delicious cold noodles, they all swallowed their saliva.

Chang Wei greeted them with a smile. "Mom, Dad, Ladi, Huairu, come and try it. It will taste even better when we make the soup with the recipe later."

At Chang Wei's call, Liang Fengnian's family and Qin Huairu all started eating, each holding a large blue-rimmed bowl.

The cool and chewy cold noodles bring a refreshing taste, and the spicy oil awakens the taste buds on the tip of your tongue.

"Wow~ Boss, it's delicious!" Qin Huairu narrowed her eyes into a line and exclaimed in amazement.

Liang Ladi was speechless, and nodded her head in agreement like a chicken pecking at rice.

Liang Fengnian and Ding Yan knew the result from their shining eyes.

Chang Wei also picked up a bowl and tried it. It was indeed good and quite successful.

Nine p.m.

Chang Wei took Qin Huairu home on a tricycle and left Liang Ladi one thousand yuan to buy a house. It was agreed that Liang Fengnian would make inquiries tomorrow and start selling cold noodles after buying a yard.

Moreover, in order to set up a stall selling cold noodles, the tricycle needs to have a shed frame, so Chang Wei rode back and found time to do it.

I got home around half past ten.

I found no one at home and saw the bicycle in the kitchen. There was a note on the main door saying that the two boys had gone to Qin Huaifeng. The three half-grown boys could play together.

Chang Wei grinned. These two guys were quite tactful. They were making room for him and Qin Huairu to kiss each other in the evening.

Close the courtyard door, boil water in the kitchen and take a bath together. Qin Huairu put on a cheongsam, and Chang Wei's eyes instantly burned, and he pressed against her impatiently.

Tonight was destined to be another night of continuous gunfire. When the east turned white, the ups and downs of the figures in the house finally calmed down...

Chang Wei boiled some water, carried the sleeping Qin Huairu to the kitchen, washed her, and then sent her back to her room.

OK! Qin Huairu was so seductive in her cheongsam that he was in high spirits, and he couldn't control himself and knocked her down again.

I looked at my watch. It was already half past three. I didn't need to go to sleep anymore.

Today is July 25th, the Xinshou Market, if for no other reason than to have a chance to see Xu Huizhen, I must go. I wonder if she will be at the market today, otherwise I will have to spend time looking for her later.

He boiled a large pot of water, went to the pigpen, grabbed two fat pigs, and knocked one down with one punch with ease.

Bleeding, leg hair removal, and disembowelment were all done in one go.

At around 4:30, Chang Wei locked the gate, climbed over the wall and left the yard, pulling a cart out.

When passing by Qin Zhengshan's house, he saw that the Ding brothers had already gotten up and were teaching Qin Huaifeng boxing in the yard.

Chang Wei waved them over, left some money, and told them to collect the pigs from the agreed villages during the day.

…………

This is Xu Huizhen.

These two days have been very exhausting for her.

After the matter was settled and he had acquired the management rights of the tavern, he was eager to share it with Chang Wei and confess his feelings to him.

But when I wanted to share this good news with Chang Wei, I suddenly realized that I didn't know where he lived. In the end, I could only think that he would definitely go to the Xinshou Market, so I could only wait for a day. This long wait was simply torture.

Fortunately, her father Xu Qing'an didn't ask too many questions, otherwise she wouldn't know how to answer.

Xu Qing'an has already told Xu Huizhen that he will take over the tavern next month, so he doesn't need to help sell wine. At three o'clock in the morning, he packed up and took his second grandfather's wine cart to the Xinshou Market, eager to see Chang Wei.

The closer I was to meeting him, the more nervous I became. I suddenly remembered what my second grandfather said, and I was worried that someone else would get there first...

She was absent-minded all the way, and felt that time was extremely long. Her mind was full of Chang Wei. She really wanted to grow wings and fly over to find him. In addition, she was not very familiar with her cousin who took over the wine business, so she was not so casual when chatting with the second grandfather on the way.

After two hours of hard work, they finally arrived at the Xinshou Market. After getting off the bus, Xu Huizhen said hello to her second grandfather and hurried into the market.

There weren't many people at the market at this time, mostly vendors setting up stalls, so it was easy to find people at a glance.

But after walking around, Xu Huizhen didn't see Chang Wei, feeling a little disappointed. But thinking that he said he didn't rest every day, and it was still early, she guessed that he hadn't come yet, and trotted to the road that must be taken to the market from the village to wait.
