I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life

Just when they had kneaded the dough into a ball, Hunter Xu came back with the two brothers Congwen and Cong'an. Hunter Xu washed his hands, put the kneaded dough into the jar and continued to knead the dough with Old Man Xu. Hunter Xu and Old Man Xu had strong hands, so they could knead the dough together. The hand-rolled noodles still needed to be kneaded properly, and they had to be kneaded every half an hour, so that they would be chewy and delicious.

While Xu the hunter was kneading the dough, Xu Congyi and the aunts did the rest of the work. She asked her two brothers to carry out the pork in blocks from the warehouse, which were cut into small pieces by her three aunts, her grandmother and her mother. Her two brothers were responsible for chopping the meat into minced meat, while she herself went to braise the pig offal.

This time, he planned to stew the pig's offal and cut it into small pieces and stir-fry it with leeks and shallots, so Xu Congyi did not plan to cook the pig's liver separately, otherwise the amount would not be enough. He cleaned the pig's offal and put it in the pot, added the seasoning and marinade packets, and let them cook in the pot. Xu Congyi secretly looked at the watch. It was half past nine, and the stew in the pot would be ready by half past ten.

Coming out of the kitchen, the people who were cutting the meat were very skillful and had already finished cutting the meat. The only thing left was for the two brothers to chop it into minced meat.

"What are we going to do next?" the aunts asked Xu Congyi.

"Don't worry, don't worry, take a break," Xu Congyi said quickly. He had to say that the aunts worked very efficiently and enthusiastically. Modern bosses would definitely like this, but unfortunately, Xu Congyi himself was not a diligent person. It was impossible for him to work all the time, but he could slack off all the time.

Xu Congyi took out the apples that she had given to Old Man Shen yesterday but hadn't given away, washed them, and gave one to each of her family members, including herself. "Aunties, eat an apple first and take a rest. We'll continue working after you finish eating."

The aunts took it with surprise. Villagers didn't eat fruit often, and only Aunt Li could eat it occasionally because her son Daniu often went to the city. Xu Cong'an was also surprised to see apples. He hurried to the well to wash his hands, picked up the apple and took a bite.

“Delicious, delicious, so sweet!”

The apples of this era were small in size and had thick skin, but they were indeed very sweet, and Xu Congyi finished them quickly.

After everyone finished eating the apples, they started to cut the eggplant into cubes. Xu Congyi wanted to join in the cutting, but the aunts wouldn't let her do it because she was too young. Xu Congyi could only move a stool and sit aside to watch.

Because eggplants are easy to oxidize, Xu Congyi soaked all the diced eggplants in water. The three aunts also saw this operation for the first time. They didn't know why, so Xu Congyi explained to them that if the eggplants were cut and directly exposed to the air, they would turn black, but if they were soaked in water, they would not be exposed to the air, so they would not turn black. Xu Congyi didn't mention the word oxidation, after all, this was ancient times, and the word was too out of place.

The three aunts didn't expect that this could be done, and asked Xu Congyi how he knew it. Xu Congyi played it off and said that he heard it from the kitchen staff when he went to the restaurant with his grandfather and father to sell meat last time. Anyway, everyone in the family knew that it was taught by the gods, and they all cooperated with her and would not expose her. The three aunts nodded, it turned out that it was the kitchen staff in the restaurant who said it. It was not uncommon for the Xu family to take game to the restaurant to sell, so it was normal for Xu Congyi to know it.

Several people were chatting while cutting, and when all the eggplant cubes were cut, the meat filling was also chopped into small pieces. Xu Congyi went to the kitchen under the pretext of checking the braised pork offal and looked at the clock. It was 10:20, and he estimated that everyone would be here around 11:30, so they could start frying the noodles and then rolling them out. The time was just right.

There are two large pots in the kitchen. The smaller one is used to braise pork offal, and the remaining larger pot is used for stir-frying noodles. Eggplant and pork will shrink in size, so this pot can probably accommodate both. The three pots outside can be used to cook noodles when people come.

Everything was ready, including the braised pork offal. Xu Congyi asked her grandmother and mother to take the braised pork offal out of the water and cut it into dices, and then cut the onions, ginger and leeks into sections. She was responsible for frying the noodle soup.

When cutting the meat yesterday, Xu Congyi had asked his father to remove the pork fat so that he could use the pork fat to make oil when braising the meat, and there was no need to add rapeseed oil.

Put the fat chunks into the pot first and stir-fry out the fat. When the fat chunks become transparent, pour all the minced meat into the pot and stir-fry. There was too much minced meat, and it was a bit difficult for Xu Congyi to flip it. She had to use both hands to hold the spatula. Seeing her daughter struggling so much, Li Dahua in the kitchen quickly called Xu the Hunter to come in to help her daughter stir-fry. With the help of her father, Xu Congyi only had to be responsible for adding seasonings and ingredients, which saved her a lot of effort.

"Kid, next time you have such strenuous work, just call your father. Why are you being so polite? Why do you have to do it yourself?" Li Dahua said complainingly.

"I know, mom~"

In fact, the main reason is that Xu Congyi has depended on his grandmother since he was a child. Because there are only him and his grandmother at home, he has to take on a lot of things. When he encounters difficulties, he tries to solve them by himself as much as possible because he doesn't want to make his grandmother worry. Over time, he has become accustomed to independence.
