I open a small shop to support my family

The sun is just right today, and the mountain of "smallpox" is missing from the villagers. Either everyone gathers in the center of the village to talk, or the little lady and husband will lead the children to dig bamboo shoots and go to the bamboo forest. Meng Yunshu Several people met many people carrying bamboo baskets and hoes, with a pot of water pinned to their waists.

There is nothing to do in winter, digging bamboo shoots can not only add some income to the family, but also relieve winter hunger. Seeing more and more people, Meng Yunshu can't help but worry that they don't dig many bamboo shoots, and winter bamboo shoots are more difficult to dig than spring bamboo shoots It is also hard to find. It is not bad to dig most of the baskets in one noon.

Walking into the bamboo grove, Meng Yunshu went to the place where they dug bamboo shoots last time. When he went there, he saw that it had been occupied by people. He frowned and grabbed the basket on his shoulder and changed to another place. Fortunately, the bamboo grove was big, and there were others. No one has set foot in the land.

After noon, as he expected, he only dug a lot of baskets. This time they didn't take off the bamboo shoots, but brought them back together.

When they got home, Meng Yunshu and the others sat in the yard, picked up a bowl of water and poured it into their mouths. It was a mistake to forget to bring water when they went out.

"Little uncle, little uncle, drink milk." Yu Zhining ran to Meng Yunshu's side with his bowl in his arms, grabbed his clothes with his small hands, raised his head and looked at him coquettishly with big eyes.

The milk in his mouth refers to malted milk. Usually, Meng Yunshu would make him a bowl of malted milk or milk powder every other day. He was busy with work these days and forgot this habit. Now he heard Yu Zhining say that he wanted to drink milk. Drink, Meng Yunshu rubbed his soft hair, and said gently: "Okay."

Of course, everyone in the yard did not forget.

From the corner of the eye, I saw a basket of carrots under the eaves. The orange-red radishes looked delicious, and the green tassels were still fresh. "Brother Huai, where did you get the carrots?"

He remembered that there were only white radishes and cabbages in the cellar at home, but not a single carrot.

Yu Jinhuai blew the bowl, took a sip of malted milk, and said, "Aunt Sun brought it."

"Oh." Staring at the carrots under the eaves, Meng Yunshu suddenly remembered the spinach noodles he ate in modern times. It just so happened that he also found a vegetable similar to spinach here, called green vegetables, and now every household grows them in the fields. , grows very lush, with wide leaves, and a pair of carrots, one is called red jade noodles, and the other is called jade noodles, which happen to be the staple food in oden.

"Are there more carrots at Aunt Sun's house?"

Yu Jinyue raised his head from the bowl, frowned in disgust, and said, "Brother, do you like carrots? It's so disgusting."

Meng Yunshu turned her head to look at him when she heard the sound, and saw that his disgusted brows were tightly frowned, and there was still a hint of disgust in his eyes, and he joked, "You don't like it? How delicious."

In fact, he doesn't like carrots very much, but just happened to come up with this idea, so he asked one more question.

"No." Yu Jinyue shook his head frantically to express his resistance.

Yu Jinhuai went on to add: "He hasn't eaten since he was a child, and he can't help but tremble after taking a bite, until he spits it out."

Now Meng Yunshu knew how much he resisted, so he said regretfully, "Then you don't have to be lucky."

Yu Jinyue immediately replied: "I dare not take this blessing."

Yu Zhining at the side concentrated on drinking his milk paste, raised his head and had a white beard around his mouth, "Do you want something delicious?"

Yu Zhining, who has always been particularly good at focusing on the key points, rolled his eyes slowly, his bright eyes curled up laughing because he wanted to eat delicious food, his calves were dangling happily, and he tilted his head slightly to stare at Meng Yunshu.

Seeing his gluttonous appearance, Meng Yunshu couldn't help chuckling, took out his handkerchief and waved to him, and when he came over, he wrapped the villain in his arms, and carefully wiped his beard.

"Well, little uncle will make delicious noodles for you, okay?"

"it is good."

-

Meng Yunshu searched at home for a long time before he found a piece of relatively fine cloth. Before the sun set, he washed the cloth first, then boiled it in hot water for a while in a clay pot, and then took it out and put it on the table. aside.

There were not many fine noodles at home, so I scooped out half a bowl of fine noodles and another bowl of thick noodles. After stirring well, I divided the flour into two halves.

Yu Jinlan came in with washed carrots and green vegetables and put them on the chopping board. She stood aside curiously, watching Meng Yunshu's movements.

Meng Yunshu chopped the green vegetables into puree and put them on the cloth he prepared, then picked up the cloth with one hand, and squeezed out the juice of the green vegetables with the other hand, and soon the green juice dyed the flour. He picked up the greens, and put the wrung greens in an empty bowl until there was no more juice to squeeze out. Then he repeated the previous action and squeezed the carrot juice into it.

Watching his movements, Yu Jinlan opened his eyes slightly. Soon, the loose flour turned into two doughs under Meng Yunshu's hands, one green and the other orange.

The next step was to roll the noodles. Meng Yunshu turned his head and saw the surprise on Yu Jinlan's face, and became more and more proud. He talked to Yu Jinlan while rolling the noodles.

"Xiao Lan, what do you think about selling these two kinds of noodles?"

Yu Jinlan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "What a beautiful color, someone must buy it."

Immediately she thought about oden again, and asked, "Do you plan to sell the noodles separately or together with oden?"

"Sell it together with Kanto cooking." Meng Yunshu kept rolling the noodles, and he continued: "There must be a lot of noodle stalls in the county, and our family is not bad. We only do Kanto cooking."

Yu Jinlan nodded. Although she had never been to the county, she thought that there were many noodle shops in the town. As my brother-in-law said, they were not bad.

Meng Yunshu finished rolling the noodles neatly, cut the noodles again, patted the flour on his hands, and shouted outside: "Xiaoyue, come in and light the fire."

Yu Jinyue, who was making bamboo sticks outside, responded, slapped off the bamboo scraps on his body, and entered the kitchen excitedly. He was already hungry. As soon as he entered the kitchen, he saw two noodles of different colors on the chopping board. , eyes similar to Yu Jinlan's were surprised, and trotted to the chopping board, pointing at the noodles on it, "Brother, how did you do that?"

Meng Yunshu, who was cracking eggs, turned around and said with a smile, "Secret."

Yu Jinyue, who could not get the answer, was not discouraged. After lighting the fire, he ran around in the kitchen, looking for clues. He knew that he saw the green and orange cloth lying on the side, and saw that there was a ball on the stove. Lumps, green vegetables and carrots that were obviously devoid of moisture, he touched his chin with his thumb, and looked back and forth between these two things, suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he suddenly realized.

It turned out to be the case.

Meng Yunshu, who poured soybean oil into the pot, noticed his expression, knowing that he already understood and didn't say any more.

Considering that Yu Jinyue didn't eat carrots, Meng Yunshu scrambled the eggs first, then poured in the tofu and winter vegetables and stir-fried them, added seasonings, stir-fried a few times, and added two scoops of water, waited for a while, and poured out a bowl of saozi Set aside, then add the carrots.

The kitchen was filled with a scent for a while, causing Yu Jinhuai in the yard to stop using the bamboo stick in his hand, and just stared at the door of the kitchen, waiting for someone to come out and ask him to eat. The two dogs with sharp noses , already lying at the door of the kitchen.

These days, except for the first two days, it was Yu Jinhuai who fed them, and Meng Yunshu fed them for the rest of the day. With the name of food and clothing parents, both Daqing and Dahei regarded Meng Yunshu as their own family. When he came out, the two wolfhounds guarding the door saw him and ran over to rub his legs wagging their tails.

As for Yu Zhining, he couldn't bear it long ago, and squeezed together in front of the stove with Yu Jinyue, occupying a favorable position.

The Yu family's pot is very big, and Meng Yunshu cooks one pot of noodles at a time, the green vegetable noodles are served first, and then the carrot noodles.

The noodles are placed directly in a big basin, mixed with red, green and yellow scorpion seeds, which makes the color look more beautiful.

In the evening, when the weather turned cold, they changed their place of eating to the kitchen.

"Brother Huai, eat." Meng Yunshu mixed the scorpion, and each person had two different bowls of noodles. Only Yu Jinyue had a big bowl in front of him, and the others had two small bowls, and the two children had even fewer noodles.

Yu Jinhuai, who had been waiting for a long time, responded, washed his hands in the water, and entered the kitchen with a cane, "Here we are."

Seeing him go in, the two wolfhounds knew that the meal was ready, they hurriedly raised their tails and wagged their tails. The fast ones could only see afterimages. Seeing him, Meng Yunshu knew that they were hungry.

Stir the remaining broken noodles mixed with miscellaneous grains, steamed buns and noodle soup and pour them into their dog bowls. The two dogs have been scalded before, and then they grew up with eyes, lying in front of the bowl and staring at it. After eating, the tail slapped the ground one after another, making a humming sound from its mouth.

When everyone was seated, they started to eat with their bowls in hand.

Yu Jinhuai looked at the two bowls in front of him, and saw that the color of the noodles inside was different from that of the usual noodles. He picked up the bowl and took a bite. I don't know if it was a psychological effect or something else, but he always felt that the noodles were stronger than the usual noodles.

"Ayun, this is?"

Meng Yunshu's eyes gleamed with pride, and he deliberately sold off, "Brother Huai, guess what this is made of?"

As soon as his words came out, he attracted the attention of everyone at the dinner table. Except for Yu Jinlan, who had been watching his cooking at the beginning, and Yu Jinyue, who came in later, the rest of the uncles and nephews didn't know about it.

Yu Zhining, who is a snack food person, just concentrates on eating, completely ignoring the disturbance from the outside world.

Yu Jinhuai picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks, thought about it carefully, and remembered the green vegetables and carrots that Yu Jinlan washed today, his eyes froze with disbelief, "Could it be green vegetables and carrots?"

Meng Yunshu raised his eyebrows, his eyebrows drooped slightly, he thought he couldn't guess, how could he think that he would be right in guessing.

Yu Jinhuai could see his emotions, and thought that he was really childish, but he praised: "A Yun is really amazing, he has so many ideas."

Listening to his words, Meng Yunshu couldn't help feeling proud, and couldn't restrain the smug smile on his face, "That's great."

Yu Jinyue, who had a panoramic view of everything, glanced at the half bowl of noodles he had just eaten, and couldn't help wondering why he was full after eating just a little today.

After the meal, the Yu family held a bowl of noodle soup in their hands.

"I named them Emerald Noodles and Ruby Noodles, what do you think?"

Everyone present repeated it several times, and they all thought the name was very good.

"Xiaoyue, come to town with me tomorrow. The pot I ordered should be ready. Since I want to make noodles, I need to buy flour."

"Understood, bro."

"And Brother Huai." Meng Yunshu looked at Yu Jinhuai and said, "We also collect carrots and green vegetables."

"En." Yu Jinhuai nodded.

After setting up the next day's affairs, everyone went home to rest after packing up, just waiting for the dawn.

But I never thought that the door would not open until the afternoon.
