Escape after crossing

When the water becomes turbid, change the basin of water and continue washing until the dough stops changing size. This way, when we eat the cold skin, there will be gluten in it.

At this time, Jiang Ziluo asked Manager Zhang to find some yeast, knead some yeast into the gluten, and then let it rise for a while, and then put the gluten on the steamer to steam it.

The water used to wash the noodles is separated after sedimentation. Pour out the clear water on the top of the basin and leave only the batter at the bottom. This is how the batter for making cold skin is prepared.

After all these were done, Jiang Ziluo asked someone to heat the pot, put half a pot of water in the pot, and wait for the water to boil. At this time, Jiang Ziluo brushed a layer of oil on the iron plate to prevent the cold skin from being peeled off.

After the water boils, pour some of the batter into an iron plate, shake the plate evenly so that the batter covers the entire plate, put it into the pot, cover it with a lid, and continue cooking over high heat.

There is no way to tell the time in this world, so Jiang Ziluo counted the seconds. When he counted to sixty, he opened the lid of the pot, took out the iron plate, and rinsed it with cold water so that it would be easier to remove.

The first sheet of batter was a little too much, a little thick. But it was still easy to peel off, and there was no rot. Jiang Ziluo started the second sheet. He put less batter in the second sheet than the first one. After shaking it well, he put it in the pot, covered it with a lid, and continued to cook.

Still counting to sixty, this time it was thinner than the first one, but still not as thin as the modern ones. Jiang Ziluo tried it a few more times, but none of them was as thin as the modern ones.

The one that was closest to Jiang Ziluo also felt thick, but then again, it seemed that the ones made by Grandma Jiang herself when she was a child were only a little thicker than those pressed by machines outside.

So Jiang Ziluo asked Li Erniu to start trying to make it. When Jiang Ziluo was trying to make it just now, he told Li Erniu the points that he needed to pay attention to. After all, Jiang Ziluo was just trying to make it so that he could eat it later.

The rest still needs to be done by professionals. Jiang Ziluo watched Li Erniu do it once and thought it was pretty good and he did everything correctly.

Jiang Ziluo stopped looking at it and took the finished cold noodles to the other side and cut them into different thicknesses. Jiang Ziluo separated them all. She planned to try them later to see which thickness tasted best.

The gluten had been steamed long ago, but the side dishes were usually served with bean sprouts and cucumbers in modern times. Bean sprouts were available now, but Jiang Ziluo had never seen cucumbers before.

She had some in her refrigerator, but she couldn't take it out for people to see. So Jiang Ziluo used boiled bean sprouts and cold noodles, mixed with garlic juice, vinegar, salt, sesame oil, and chili oil.

It tasted okay, and Xuanyi and Xuansan, who were waiting on the side, had already smelled the fragrance and were waiting to try it.

Jiang Ziluo asked them to try it, and the taste was okay, but Jiang Ziluo still felt that the cold skin with sesame paste would be more fragrant and delicious.

So Jiang Ziluo found the shopkeeper Zhang and asked him to taste the cold noodles. The shopkeeper Zhang said that it tasted okay, but it didn’t have any special features and was at most a cold dish.

Jiang Ziluo knew this, so he asked Shopkeeper Zhang, "Shopkeeper Zhang, did you make this sesame oil yourself or buy it?"

"This is purchased. There is an oil shop on East Street. We buy all our sesame oil from him. The sesame oil they use is grown by themselves.

When the sesame seeds are ripe, he will come to me and ask me to check the quality of the sesame seeds. If we like them, he will process them for us first, and then process the rest and sell them to others."

Jiang Ziluo nodded and continued to ask, "Can sesame only be used to make sesame oil? Has Shopkeeper Zhang ever seen how sesame oil is made?"

Shopkeeper Zhang shook his head and said, "After all, this is someone else's skill. He relies on this craft to support his family. But I know that the residue after making oil will be directly placed in the fields to increase the growth of crops."

This was the first time Jiang Ziluo had heard of this statement. She really didn't know that the oil residue from squeezing oil could be used as fertilizer.

"Boss, do the crops in the fields with oil residue grow better than those in ordinary fields?"

"Yes."

"Shopkeeper Zhang, do you have sesame seeds and stone mill? I want a small stone mill."

"I'll have someone go buy some, girl, wait a minute. I'll be back soon."

Shopkeeper Zhang ordered someone to buy what Jiang Ziluo needed, and Jiang Ziluo went to see how the cold noodles were cooked.

When Jiang Ziluo was in modern times, he was on vacation one day and went to the supermarket to stock up on daily necessities. Since he was on vacation anyway, Jiang Ziluo was not in a hurry and just strolled around.

I walked into a newly opened supermarket and heard customers coming out of the supermarket say that the new supermarket has discounts and promotions, so it is quite cost-effective.

Jiang Ziluo turned around and walked into the newly opened supermarket. For Jiang Ziluo, who doesn't often go to supermarkets and doesn't understand the market, she really can't see the discount, it doesn't matter where she buys.

However, this supermarket is very creative. It has a small stone mill in the supermarket, but it is an electric one. If you want to buy sesame paste, you can just buy roasted sesame seeds and then watch the fresh sesame paste being processed with the stone mill.

This made some people who thought that sesame paste was impure say that this method of preparation was very good, and after seeing it with their own eyes, they could buy it with confidence.

That's why Jiang Ziluo asked Manager Zhang for sesame seeds and a small stone mill. She wanted to try to make sesame paste.

Modern technology uses electricity, and now it uses people. There are many people now, so there is no need to worry about no one doing the heavy work.

Manager Zhang is indeed a good manager, and all his subordinates are capable. Li Erniu, who just learned how to make cold noodles, is now doing a good job and is very skilled.

It was hard to tell that Li Erniu had just learned how to do this. Jiang Ziluo watched Li Erniu making cold noodles and she was also wondering, how could he make more and faster?

Would it be faster if I made a few more iron plates and took turns with them? But I still only made one plate at a time, which only left me a little time to change the iron plates.

In the past, Grandma Jiang cooked only for her family, so she didn’t need to make too much and didn’t care too much about the cooking speed.

I want to make more to sell now, but I'm afraid that we won't be able to supply them at the current rate. When the weather is hot, eating a bowl of cold noodles is refreshing and comfortable!

Suddenly Jiang Ziluo thought of the method of making rice rolls by steaming them. However, if doing so, it would be difficult to calculate the time, because Jiang Ziluo had never done this before.

In modern times, we have clocks to measure time, but in this dynasty, there were no clocks and people estimated time by looking at the sun.

Hourglass, Jiang Ziluo suddenly thought that in ancient times, people used hourglass to tell time. However, hourglass first appeared in ancient Greece and was used to estimate time for sea voyages.

She didn't know if there was any now? Before Jiang Ziluo could figure it out, the person that Zhang the shopkeeper sent out to buy things had returned.

It just so happened that Jiang Ziluo didn't want to rack his brains anymore, so he told Manager Zhang his idea and let him and the others figure it out themselves. After all, with more people, there would be more ideas.

Jiang Ziluo no longer had to worry about making the cold noodles, and he had put away the things he had bought. Jiang Ziluo took out a small amount of sesame seeds and put them in clean water.

Remove the floating objects on the water surface, gently wash the sesame seeds, remove them, and drain the water. Just drain the water, no need to dry.

When there is not too much water, put the sesame seeds into the pot and fry them slowly over low heat. Do not use high heat to prevent them from burning. If the sesame seeds are burned, the sesame paste will taste bitter.

The reason why Jiang Ziluo knew all this was that day in the supermarket, while he was waiting for sesame paste to be made, he listened to the person who made sesame paste telling everyone about this knowledge.

She was very glad that she went to that supermarket, listened to the knowledge, and remembered it. But she could only wait and see whether the product would be the same as that in the supermarket.

Jiang Ziluo kept turning the sesame seeds in the pot with his hands, and his mind kept recalling the steps that the person who made sesame paste in the supermarket that day had told him.
