Ancient Foodie Survival Guide

After Xie Xun's injury recovered, Jiang Shuyao returned to his previous habit, spending a lot of time thinking about eating every day. A while ago, Xie Xun went out of the government office in Beijing. Jiang Shuyao was unable to prepare, so she could only bring him sauce and bacon, but now that she had learned from the past, she began to think about making some portable and easy-to-make food.

Xie Xun often shared interesting things on the road to her during her recovery, and Jiang Shuyao understood the habits of ancient people better.

Most people don’t bring some pots and pans with rice, meat and vegetables like you do, most of them eat dry food. Xie Xun and the others don't like to eat too much dry food and they panic. They will smoke it with hot steam to make the dry food soft and eat it with sauce.

The more he said, the clearer the thoughts in Jiang Shuyao's mind.

With only hot water, how can one make a delicious and easy-to-carry meal?

She has been busy in the kitchen these few days. After Xie Xun's injury recovered slightly, she followed her to the kitchen and stood aside watching the excitement.

When Xie Xun stepped into the small kitchen, he saw the removed window at first glance. It was empty. There was a high wooden frame in front of the window with a lot of noodles hanging on it.

Jiang Shuyao unloaded the windows and installed the nets. Now the noodles have almost dried out, and they are just in time for the next step of making.

"Why dry the noodles?" he wondered.

While removing the noodles, Jiang Shuya explained, "This is the noodles. The noodles are easier to store after drying. Next time you want to eat the noodles, you don't need to remix the noodles. Just take a handful of the noodles and cook it in the pot. Up."

Xie Xun nodded and sighed: "So it can be like this." After finishing speaking, he paused, and suddenly thought of something, "If it is like this, then I can bring some dried noodles and cook them next time I rush, so I don't need to eat dry. The dry food?"

Jiang Shuyao smiled and said, "What's so delicious about noodles?"

"There is also sauce. I cooked the noodles and mixed them with sauce, just right." He arranged the food quickly, but he was a little hungry when he said that.

Jiang Shuya thought for a while: "This is also OK."

There are many kinds of convenience foods, such as red oil noodles, dried noodles, and covered noodles. In addition to noodles, there are also convenient vermicelli, which can be eaten by boiling or soaking them in hot water.

But when it comes to convenience food, they are no better than the most popular instant food pioneer-instant noodles.

Instant noodles are different from the above-mentioned convenience foods. Its noodles are deep-fried, and they are tougher and more fragrant after being soaked. If there is no hot water, they can be used as dry noodles and eaten dry. The taste is not inferior to snacks. Save for longer time.

The dried noodles she made are conventional, slender, take them off and cook them in a pot, remove them and drain them with water. When the noodles are almost dry, pour a lot of oil into the pot and add the noodles.

There was a loud bang, and the oily fragrance overflowed.

Because Xie Xun was lying down, Jiang Shuyao was afraid that he would not be able to digest, so he never let him eat heavy meals. Now Xie Xun kept swallowing as soon as he smelled the oily fragrance.

After the splashing oil bubble subsided, Jiang Shuya used long chopsticks to remove the noodles. The noodles are kneaded with eggs. After frying, there is a strong mellow aroma. The heat is controlled just right. The noodles come out with golden color and distinct roots, which are crisp and delicious.

Xie Xie had eaten the glutinous rice, thinking that Jiang Shuyao made this. Although he didn’t understand why he wanted to make it so that the roots were separated, he still cheered up and said: "Good smelling glutinous rice." After that, he sneaked around next to Jiang Shuyao. , I want to reach out and steal one to eat.

Jiang Shuya turned around, and he immediately withdrew his hands, feeling lingering.

"It's not a bun, it's a noodle."

"Noodles?" Xie Xun was even more puzzled. "Why fried noodles? How can you eat this crispy noodles?"

"Of course, the noodles are cooked or soaked." Jiang Shuyao began to prepare the instant noodle seasoning. Since there is no time to dry the vegetables, the freshness of the soup base cannot be relied on the dried vegetables. It has to be provided by the package.

She turned her back, and Xie Xun began to move around again.

When he was preparing to move, Jiang Shuyao turned around again, took the sauce, and saw Xie Xun standing aside, saying, "I'm not very convenient for cooking when you stand here."

Xie Xun could only take a step back, looking at the golden and crisp noodles greedy.

It's so fragrant, the glutinous rice outside is not so fragrant. Is it because of rubbing the eggs in?

"I want to eat fried egg noodles tonight." He requested.

Jiang Shuyao naturally responded.

Just as Xie Xun was thinking about how to eat some instant noodles, a small carrot head ran in outside the door, bouncingly shouting: "Sanshu! Sanshu!"

Because Xie Xun was injured, Xu did not allow twins to disturb him often, so the twins hadn't been to the third room for a long time.

When he came to the third room again, not only Xie Zhao was excited, but Xie Yao also trot behind. It's a pity that Xie Xun was injured. They couldn't pounce on him all at once, but stopped in front of him.

As soon as Xie Xun stuffed the instant noodles into his mouth, Xie Zhao rushed in like a calf and caught him.

Xie Zhao's **** grape-like eyes rolled around a few times, looked at Xie Xun, and smiled: "Uncle San~"

Xie Xun was extremely embarrassed in his heart and pretended to be calm on the surface. He waved, and Xie Zhao and Xie Yao walked over.

Jiang Shuyao was carrying them, unable to see their little movements.

Xie Xun whispered: "Your three aunts won't let me eat heavy oil."

Xie Zhao nodded, expressing understanding.

Xie Yao looked at him quietly, as if saying: Is this the reason you stole the food?

Xie Xun was even more embarrassed. The elder brother and the second brother said that he had the same temperament as Xie Yao when he was a child. No wonder he was treated as a young adult since he remembered. Facing such a child is really helpless.

He was seen stealing a meal just now, and Xie Zhao did a good job, and also grabbed instant noodles on tiptoes.

He was much bolder than Xie Xun, chewing loudly, one by one without stopping.

Xie Yao looked at Xie Zhao, then Xie Xun, and followed him to grab a piece of instant noodles to eat.

Xie Xun was caught off by their food, and ate with them.

When the instant noodles were down for a long time, Jiang Shuyao turned around and saw the two children who had eaten it at a glance. The older one just took it away and was not caught.

"Xie Boyuan!" Jiang Shu said with a frown, "The kid is ignorant, are you ignorant?"

She walked over and asked the twins: "Have you washed your hands? How come you can eat without asking, what if you can't eat?"

Xie Zhao looked up at Xie Xun, as if he meant to confess him.

Xie Xun quickly said, "They asked me."

Hearing the words, Jiang Shuyao stared at Xie Xun, which made Xie Xun feel a little guilty for a while. Just as he admitted his mistake, he listened to Jiang Shuyao muttering: "Just like you, how can you teach your children in the future."

These words hit Xie Xun, and he blushed immediately, and said, "It's mine, I must correct it and be a good father."

When Jiang Shuyao took away the instant noodles and returned to the kitchen to cook the noodles, Xie Xun was still frowning in serious reflection.

Xie Zhao took out the instant noodles he had just concealed from his sleeves, chewed it "chuckly", raised his neck and said to Xie Xie: "Uncle San, is the third uncle pregnant?"

Xie Xun was awakened all at once, yes, he hasn't written the eight characters yet, what is he reflecting on.

Here, Jiang Shuyao started to make instant noodles. In order to test whether the thickness of the noodles is appropriate, she cooked and soaked a bowl separately, and the finished product was good.

The sauce package is rich in sauce and full of meat; the powder package is ground with seaweed, shiitake mushrooms, etc., mixed with spices to increase the freshness. The finished product has a taste similar to modern instant noodles, even because of the sufficient ingredients, more A smell of meat and fat stewed.

The soup cooked in the sauce bag is clearer than the broth, but because of the powder bag, the umami taste is not bad, and the instant noodles are rubbed into the egg, the mellow aroma is also compensated. Looking at the simple single bowl of noodles, it is actually quite ingenious.

After Jiang Shuyao tasted each side, he felt that it tasted good, so he sprinkled green onion, blanched the greens and put it in, and finally fried an egg as requested by Xie Xun.

Because the two little guys were there, Jiang Shuyao also gave them two small bowls to taste.

The three of them stood in a row and couldn't wait to taste them before they arrived at the table.

The chopsticks jumped, sucked into the mouth, the movements were neat and uniform.

The fried egg noodles are golden in color, and the noodles are stronger than regular ramen noodles, and after the oil, the fragrance of the egg is locked by the high temperature, and it tastes more delicious and mellow. It is said to be instant noodles, but it is more like ramen noodles, with soft elasticity, even the instant noodles that are soaked will not lose the unique smoothness.

The smooth ramen is wrapped in a clear soy-scented soup entrance. The heat is just right, so that the marinated aroma of the sauce pack is incorporated into the ramen, but the ramen will not absorb too much soup and become soft and waxy, losing itself. The sense of strength and tenderness. Chewing the noodles, the rich egg aroma and light oily aroma linger on the tip of the tongue. Compared with ordinary noodles, it has a unique flavor.

After eating the soft and strong noodles, look up and drink the soup below.

The clear noodle soup is protruding with a sauce and braised fragrance. The minced meat is mixed with the soup and tasted carefully. There is also the noodle and egg fragrance of the noodles scattered in the soup. You can also have the fragrance of the noodles in the soup. This kind of deliciousness, not to mention hungry pedestrians on the road, even those who stay at home cannot refuse this bowl of ramen. It is quick and convenient to make, delicious, warm and mellow, leaving a lingering fragrance on the lips and cheeks, and I just feel completely unhappy.

So after eating the noodles, the three of them stood still and waited eagerly for Jiang Shuyao to fry the noodles again.

It's a pity that when Jiang Shuyao was about to continue, the old lady sent someone to pass the message over. The boss and the second of Dafang came back from the academy and let Sanfang go over to have a family dinner at night.

Let alone two small ones, even Xie Xun was a little disappointed.

When Xie Ye and Xie Wei had arrived, Xie Zhao and Xie Yao squeezed out a smile to welcome the eldest and second brother who had returned from the academy.

The brothers were extremely warm when they were in each other. The four sons of the big room greeted them and sat down at the table.

Both sides glanced at each other and were puzzled why the other side was unhappy.

In Xie Wei Xie Ye's opinion, after returning from the academy, they were finally free, but they couldn't go to the snack street to eat and drink. They had to have a family dinner with the family first, which was really annoying. Thinking of the scene when saying goodbye to classmates, Xie Ye Xie Wei was very unhappy. Classmates think the snack street is delicious enough, and they will definitely eat more delicious when they return to Xie's Mansion. Xie Ye and Xie Ye feel very helpless for the envy of the classmates.

Not only can they not eat more delicious food than the snack street, but they also have to eat some light and unflavored meals with the old lady.

For example, the simmered turtle in the soup in front of you was exquisitely cooked and fresh when you drank it, but it lacked the flavor. Compared to these expensive dishes, they wanted to eat spicy fried skewers and hot and spicy dishes. Mala Tang.

In Xie Zhao Xie Yao's opinion, they were finally sent to the third hospital by their mother, and they could have dinner tonight, but it was a pity that they had a soup because their eldest brother and second brother returned home.

The juniors are not happy, but the elders are happy.

Even Xie Guogong, who didn't show up so much, came, and looked at Xie Ye and Xie Ye quite relieved: "In the blink of an eye, you two are at the age of imperial examination."

Jiang Shuyao listened to the side, a little surprised, thinking carefully, it is indeed autumn, which is the time of autumn.

The old lady also echoed a few words with a smile, and asked if she was ready and whether it was arranged properly.

Xie Ye Xie Ye answered one by one.

The old lady said and beckoned, the maid walked over to Xie Ye and Xie Ye offered a wooden box.

"Grandma?" The two asked puzzled.

"Open it and take a look." The old lady smiled kindly.

The two opened the wooden box and saw that ginseng with good roots was lying inside.

The rules of the township test were strict, food and lodging had to be confined to a small room, and only dry food was allowed, nothing more than dried buns, steamed buns, and pickles. They were put in a cage and eaten for three full days. I dare not drink more hot water to avoid running back and forth to the toilet.

Xie Xun suffered during the scientific expedition. He did not eat or drink on the last day. He supported himself with a single breath, and finally handed in his papers early because he was really hungry and uncomfortable, and he didn’t want to eat the steamed buns with dry skin. Up.

Therefore, a piece of ginseng is extremely important to candidates. Even if the board and lodging cannot keep up, the energy of answering the paper will not vent with a bite.

"Thank you, grandmother." The two stood up and thanked.

Xie Xun suddenly remembered something and interrupted: "By the way, you don't need to bring pickles, but the meat sauce made by your third aunt." He and his colleagues in Donggong are the people who understand the deliciousness of steamed buns.

Although I don't understand what meat sauce is, the three words "three aunts" are the signs. Xie Ye and Xie Ye quickly thanked him.

At this time, Jiang Shuyao said: "Why don't you bring instant noodles. I will pack them in bamboo tubes, soak one bucket and throw away one bucket. It's more delicious than eating steamed buns."

Xie Xun suddenly nodded in agreement. Xie Zhao followed the discussion. Xu quickly asked his son to thank him, Xie Li asked what instant noodles were, and Zhou asked when he thought about eating...

A group of people are lively and lively. For more than 30 years, the old lady has never seen a family banquet so relaxed and noisy.

After the old lady was beaten in her face last time, she had been stunned for many days, but she also figured it out. She chanted sutras and worshipped the Buddha every day, and stayed quietly in Shouning Hall without asking about Sanfang.

Looking at it now, as if it was just a blink of an eye, Jiang Shuyao, who was once hated by others, turned out to be the most favored person in Xie Guogong's mansion. She couldn't understand, she couldn't understand too much.

Even the reticent Xie Guogong was amused by their noisy atmosphere, and asked the Xie Li next to him: "Look at you like this, you seem to have eaten food made by the third daughter-in-law?"

The old lady waited for them to calm down, but did not wait for a long time, and the atmosphere became more and more relaxed.

Even her fearful and serious eldest son asked, "Third siblings, can the spicy strips be sold in the Linjia market? My colleagues have been pestering me all day after trying it once."

"You should be able to, but you have to ask your second wife about this. Hot strips are more through her hands."

"Since the spicy noodles are on sale, how about the cakes?"

What's the matter? The old lady had a headache and couldn't bear to shout: "Quiet! The rules!"

Everyone turned their heads to look at her in unison, making her feel out of place for a while.

She swallowed that breath, her eyes gliding across the faces of a table of people.

Changed, everything changed.

She is now sure that people who once disliked Jiang Shuya have turned their backs. Not only have they turned their backs, but they are also holding the moon. They love Jiang Shuya, who was once incompetent.
