Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

Xia Shengsheng followed the steps from memory and first scooped out two bowls of starch and stirred them with warm water.

Then use boiling water to thicken the sauce. The thickened starch is crystal clear and feels a bit like jelly.

"Wow! Mom, can we eat now?" Liu Sicheng asked anxiously.

Liu Shanshan also squatted aside, looking at the thing that was white at first and now transparent, and was very curious.

“Don’t worry, you’ve just started, you haven’t finished yet!

Yiyi, please help me get two more bowls of starch."

"Okay, mother."

Xia Shengsheng asked Liu Yiyi to add a few bowls of raw starch into the starch that had been stirred into a transparent state, with the ratio being about 3:1.

Then fully mix the starch together and knead it repeatedly like kneading dough until it is evenly kneaded.

You can then start pressing the vermicelli.

The tool for pressing vermicelli was also bought by Xia Shengsheng from Qiqi.

When I have time to go to the town or the provincial capital, I will order a few.

Otherwise, the stainless steel one in my hand is too modern.

Press and drop it into boiling water to cook it directly.

After cooking, rinse with cold water and you're done.

"Mom, can we eat now?"

Xia Shengsheng tapped Sicheng's nose and said, "You only know how to eat. I'll stew chicken with vermicelli for you later. I'll kill an old hen later."

The pheasants I hunted before were all cured, but the cured meat is not as delicious as the fresh chicken stewed with vermicelli.

Anyway, there are still a few old hens at home that don’t lay eggs. She can just eat them. It’s not like she doesn’t have money to buy more.

"Okay! Let's eat something delicious."

If you want to preserve vermicelli for a long time, you can just take it outside to dry it.

Hang the vermicelli halfway on the hanger like clothes.

The rest is used to stew chicken. Xia Shengsheng plans to stew two pots, one with her own noodles and one with purchased noodles, to see if there is any difference in taste. Does her noodles need to be improved?

At night, I would make flour dumplings for the children to eat.

"Mom, I'll go kill the chicken. You take a rest!" Liu Ercheng took the initiative to take on the task of killing the chicken.

"Then I'll boil some water and pluck the chicken feathers later!"

"I'll help my elder sister!"

Liu Yiyi and Liu Shanshan also found work immediately.

Liu Sicheng looked outside and then inside the house. I wonder what he was doing?

"I, then, what should I do?"

Just as he was struggling, Hu Zi was shouting outside the gate.

"Sicheng, I'm going to catch some bugs, do you want to come with me?"

Liu Sicheng immediately responded with excitement. "Go, wait for me, Brother Huzi!"

After that, he said hello to Xia Shengsheng, took a bamboo tube, and ran out.

"He's not active in other tasks, but he's very active when it comes to catching insects." Liu Shanshan muttered behind him.

"How can I not be proactive? Haven't you seen that our chickens have laid several extra eggs after feeding them insects these past two days? My little brother loves them the most. If he can eat more eggs, he will be more motivated to work." Liu Yiyi also said with a smile.

Xia Shengsheng also discovered that Sicheng was particularly fond of doing any work related to feeding chickens and rabbits.

Anyway, when you do other things, your mind may only be thinking about things related to food.

I don’t know how this child grows up. Logically, he should have no shortage of food during this period, so why is he still so greedy?

But it can’t be said to be a bad thing. Everyone should have a hobby.

She felt that Yiyi especially loved reading and writing, while Sicheng especially loved eating and things related to eating.

Ercheng and Shanshan haven't found any hobbies yet, but they will discover them slowly in the future.

Xia Shengsheng cooked two servings of chicken stewed with vermicelli and steamed a large pot of rice. After everything was done, Sicheng came back hopping with a bamboo tube of worms on his back.

Xia Shengsheng asked Ercheng to send a portion to Doctor Zhao. Although it was agreed before that only dinner would be provided, Doctor Zhao gave a lot of money for the meal.

If Xia Shengsheng did anything bad, Ercheng would send her a copy.

Looking at Sicheng who was washing his hands, he asked, "Huzi is back too?"

Sicheng wiped his hands and replied, "No, mom, Brother Huzi is still digging for worms! He said he wanted to help Brother Huangdou dig some!"

Liu Yiyi scooped out some rice, handed it to Sicheng and said, "Why didn't you come along to help?"

"Isn't it time to eat? The world is big, but eating is the most important thing. I'll go help Brother Huzi catch bugs after I finish eating."

After Sicheng finished speaking, he took a big mouthful of rice and put it into his mouth. Although he had not had time to eat the vegetables, the white rice was sweet, sticky and very fragrant.

Now that the busy farming season is over, almost everyone in the village has finished planting the few acres of land at home, so they generally change from three meals a day to two meals a day.

Even if Hu Zi returned home at this time, he would not be able to eat.

"Come, try the vermicelli and see what the difference is between the two types. Which one tastes better?

If Sicheng goes to play with Huzi after dinner, he can bring some snacks with him and share them with Huzi or other friends who are playing together."

When making friends, don't be stingy with food!

Suck it~

Sicheng slurped a mouthful of vermicelli and answered while chewing. "I know, mother!"

"Wow! So delicious!"

"What don't you like?"

"Brother, this is really delicious. If you don't believe me, try it."

Ercheng picked up a piece of the noodles made by Xia Shengsheng with chopsticks skeptically, and just put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.

Only then did I realize that its delicate texture seemed to melt slowly in my mouth, giving me a unique taste experience.

I was still hesitating before, wondering if this noodle-like thing would be delicious if stewed with chicken?

Now I'm really slapped in the face.

Liu Yiyi and Liu Shanshan also liked the taste and texture of the vermicelli very much after trying it.

Xia Shengsheng also tried them one by one, and she felt that the vermicelli she made was tastier than the ones she bought.

The texture is more chewy and the stew is more flavorful.

Because the vermicelli you buy is machine-made, it should contain some things like protein and gluten to increase its toughness.

Although it tastes chewy, the flavor is not that good and it feels a bit like chewing bubble gum. It doesn't taste as good as those made by hand.

Xia Shengsheng asked several children to try it again one by one and asked them to talk about their feelings.

Without exception, the four children all felt that the food made by everyone tasted better.

It seems that they were successful.

Now that it is successful, we should start mass production and look for buyers.

But the kitchen doesn’t look that big, and if we want to produce in large quantities, there won’t even be enough space.

If you do it outdoors, a gust of wind will blow and all the dirt will be mixed in.

It seems that the plan to build a house is imminent.

After dinner, Xia Shengsheng took some vermicelli she made and a cured rabbit and went to the village chief's house.

If you want to build a house, you still have to say hello to the village chief, and if you want to ask villagers to do the work in the future, it is best for the village chief to come forward.
