Popular peasant wife: mountain man lacks training

Chapter 397
Geng Sang called Lu Nanchuan over to help him. Fortunately, making noodles is not a technical job. Lu Nanchuan has great strength, and the noodles he made are better than his own.

While Lu Nanchuan was kneading the noodles, Geng Sang started kneading the dough, cutting the kneaded dough into small sections, each section was a steamed bun, and the small sections of noodles needed to be kneaded further to form a steamed bun shape.

If the dough in the section is not doughy, the taste of the steamed buns will not be as good as the kneaded dough.

Fortunately, there were not many steamed buns to make, and the dough was reserved for making red bean buns and jujube rolls, so Geng Sang only kneaded a dozen or so doughs.

After kneading the steamed buns, the next step is to make red bean buns and jujube rolls. It has been more than half an hour since I was busy.

During the period, Geng Sang went to see Lu Nanchuan once, and the noodles were almost soft, so he waited for it to be released again.

When Geng Sang was about to steam the steamed buns on the pot, and when the pot was ready to be boiled after a short wait, the dough for deep-fried fritters also spread out again.

This time, it was time for Geng Sang to prepare deep-fried dough sticks, and asked Lu Nanchuan to light the fire on the stove. Now, he brought over the oil jar that had been placed behind the stove at noon. The frozen oil inside had already melted, poured it into the pot, and The pot started to burn at the same time.

Geng Sang tidied up the chopping board. Geng Sang was ruthless when setting up the stove for the sake of cleanliness and beauty. He bought ceramic tiles to stick on the cooking surface, and made a small piece of tile surface next to the chopping board.

Just these few tiles cost more than a tael of silver at the beginning, and the craftsman who built the stove for his own house couldn't help but sigh at the waste, but now it seems that he did the right thing.

There is no iron plate for making noodles at home, so I can only make do with this porcelain plate, and smear a layer of hot oil, which is neither sticky to the plate nor very clean.

After the oil pan was heated up, Geng Sang first took a small ball of noodles and threw it in to test the temperature before he began to pull the fried dough sticks into the pan.

First fried dough sticks, then lotus vegetables mixed with batter, crispy meat, radish balls, mochi leaves, etc., and finally, when the fried things are almost done, pour two bowls of peanut kernels into them and fry them. No need to burn the fire anymore, the oil is hot enough to fry the peanuts.

The real cooking time is just over half an hour. The real time-consuming thing is that it takes a long time for various preparations before cooking.

When frying all kinds of food, Geng Sang and Lu Nanchuan had to take time out to taste almost every fried food. After frying the food, their stomachs were basically full.

Take out the last peanut kernels from the pot, sprinkle salt and pepper and other spices on Geng Sang, then find a clean jar and seal it, so as not to taste bad after the moisture returns.

The bamboo baskets at home are all newly bought, and they have been scrubbed and washed yesterday. There is a layer of oil paper in the baskets, and Geng Sang puts the fried food in, and makes Lu Nanchuan hang them on the iron bars hanging from the beams in the house. on the hook.

Although Geng Sang and Lu Nanchuan's New Year's goods are not as particular as other people's, after the pot is finished, there are still two full baskets of food fried, one basket is deep-fried dough sticks, and the other basket is other deep-fried foods, such as It is crispy meat, dried tofu and so on.

After tidying up these things, Geng Sang scraped out the lukewarm oil from the oil pan and poured it into the jar, and then took the cabbage leaves and threw them into the pan to wipe the vegetables.

The cabbage leaves were poured on the bottom of the pot and there was no need to worry about it, Geng Sang only had time to take off the lid of the steamed buns on the big pot inside.
