Traveled through time with my ex-boyfriend [Chang Tian]

【Noodle Factory】

What Li Yao said was - "Close the door and show me the striptease."

Ye Fan did this before and drank too much.

At this time, I said this not to relive the wonderful enjoyment of that night, but because Li Yao predicted that Ye Fan would not agree.

It's not that he doesn't want to seek reconciliation, it's just that he doesn't want to be so hasty.

In modern times, the process of two people being together is very easy. There is no so-called brain-racking pursuit or touching confession, and they just rolled together naturally.

It is always a pity for Ye Fan, a hypocrite.

The reunion in another world, Li Yao hopes to make up for it as much as possible, not to be grand, just to leave a good memory.

So, not now.

Ye Fan got angry and vowed to ignore Li Yao for a month.

Unexpectedly, Li Yao sent a box of gold the next day, saying it was the profit from the noodles, and there was another box in the manor, if you want it, you can get it yourself.

Ye Fan rolled on the kang twice, and decided to go for a walk in the valley - the autumn flowers are blooming, and it's a pity not to look at them.

It's just that, while walking, he entered Li Yao's yard for some reason.

Waiting for him in the bedroom is not only a box full of gold, but also a crispy roasted duck rack, egg dumplings wrapped in prawns, and a hand-stirred banana milkshake by Mr. Chang'an Hou.

Ye Fan got gold and filled his stomach again, and silently swallowed back the oath he made the day before.

Anyway, no one else heard it.

So, the final summary is - don't swear casually.

***

It has been sunny for half a month, and the summer fruits harvested last month are finally ready to dry.

Just in time for Xiu Mu, Second Sister Ye invited several close ladies from the school to her home to drink tea, chat and eat "golden cakes".

The golden-yellow pancakes do not require any seasoning, and they have a crispy taste and a hint of salt.It can be eaten directly, or rolled with shredded pickled vegetables, radishes, and chive flowers, and eaten like spring pancakes.

If you like to eat meat, add some mutton, diced chicken, and duck breast to taste better.

Perhaps because it grows and matures in the hot summer, the food made without adding preservatives can be stored for about one month.

This point may not be of much use in daily life. For those traveling merchants, boatmen who go to sea, and soldiers who fight, food that is cheap and can be preserved for a long time is more precious than gold in a certain sense.

Therefore, Xia Guo, which was defined by Ye Fan as "rough taste and not very tasty", was let Li Yao take it as military rations.

The rest were used by Second Sister Ye to entertain the guests.

Young lady Jiang ate one, but she was too embarrassed to take it again. Yu Sanniang saw it, and started to roll one for her, "If sister Jiang doesn't dislike it, then eat this from me."

Miss Jiang is so smart, why can't she see her kindness, so she accepted it with a smile, and took advantage of the situation and said: "At the beginning of next month, our village will have a 'Welcome to the God Festival', if you can catch up with Xiumu, I will ask the sisters to show their face, go Look at the fun."

Li Wuniang immediately became interested, "What is the God Welcoming Festival?"

"The god of sending flowers, the god of welcoming fruit, I look forward to a good harvest of fruit trees, and every household can have a good harvest." Mrs. Jiang cleaned her hands and said with a smile, "According to the usual practice in previous years, we will invite singers from the county. perform tricks, fight dances, sing tunes, and some people dress up as flower gods and fruit gods to parade in the garden."

Li Wuniang's eyes brightened the more she heard, "Such a good thing, even if I can't keep up with Xiu Mu, I still have to go! How do you say that..."

"Combine theory with practice!" Yu Sanniang added crisply.

"Yes, that's the sentence, what Xiao Lang said is absolutely right." Li Wuniang hugged Second Sister Ye's arm and acted like a baby, "Master Xueling, don't you think so?"

Second Sister Ye covered her mouth and smiled, pretending to be majestic and said: "Yes."

The little ladies cheered.

Miss Jiang said again: "At the time of introduction, the guests only need to pay a few pennies to pick in the garden at will. As long as they don't waste it, they can eat as much as they want. Of course, the sisters don't need to spend money when they go. Just play in my home."

Li Wuniang was the first to respond, "Then I will prepare a gift."

"Me too." Yu Sanniang followed suit.

Miss Jiang pretended to be distressed and sighed, "In this way, wouldn't I have to return the gift?"

"No, just give me more pears." Ye Fan poked his head in, with a smile on his face, "Count me in, no, two are fine, Lord Hou will go too."

Second Sister Ye knocked him on the head with a ball of thread, "Where did the eavesdropper come from, Wu Niang, beat him out."

"Decree!" Li Wuniang smiled and picked up the feather duster, making a gesture to hit it.

Ye Fan pretended to be afraid and ran away, making the ladies laugh.

The small kiln was bustling with activity, but the Li family was not deserted either.

Today is the day the merchant ships depart.

In addition to the original dried mushrooms, melon seed oil, and flour fruit powder, another fresh food was added this time-dried vermicelli.

A few days ago, a group of people who opened up trade routes to the northwest came back with a large amount of fur, mutton, and some crop seeds and fruit tree saplings that Ye Fan asked them to search for.

The task was successfully completed, and the king happily gave him a reward—a multifunctional noodle rolling machine.

Ye Fan tidied up the old fungus room that had been vacated before, paved it with blue bricks, hung the roof, and installed machines to form a noodle field.

In addition to the factory buildings and warehouses, Ye Fan also invited people to surround a large and spacious yard. The yard was also paved with blue bricks, and rows of "clothes poles" were buried for drying dried noodles.

Daning is located in an arid and semi-arid area. Even without any drying equipment, the rolled noodles can be dried within a day or two.

In order to catch up with the day to leave the ship, Ye Fan asked Yu's brothers and Guan Sanlang to work hard, and finally squeezed out more than 1000 catties.

This machine is different from the previous oil press and threshing machine. Not only is it charged by solar energy, but it is also fully automatic. Ye Fan didn't want too many people to know, so he didn't hire anyone.

Fortunately, they only need to add water and noodles, and then hang the rolled noodles outside, otherwise it would be really exhausting.

Even after being taken care of by everyone, Ye Fan was still too tired to lift his arms after several days.

Watching the cargo ship gradually go away, Ye Fan leaned on Li Yao listlessly, "If those noodles can't be sold for a big price, I'm really sorry for my two arms."

Li Yao smiled, hugged him halfway, and rubbed him lightly, "Don't worry, King Langya will have to buy them all before they are transported to the south."

Flooding is severe in the south this year, and rice production is bound to decrease, followed by price increases.This batch of noodles is considered to be a test of the water, the price is not high, it is easy to store and easy to fill the stomach, King Langya will definitely not miss it.

Ye Fan wrinkled his face, and was a little distressed, "Don't buy them all, save some to sell in Nanshu, and see if I can get a giant panda back."

Li Yao lowered his head and looked serious, "Do you want it?"

"I don't want to!" Ye Fan quickly refused, "Don't be serious, what if you die?"

"If you really want it, I'll ask the beast master to raise it."

Ye Fan imagined the scene of walking the "National Treasure", and shook his head in horror, "No, no, it's too extravagant. It's not as exciting as getting rich overnight."

Li Yao smiled and continued rubbing his arms.

"Let's think about how to open the noodle factory!"

Li Yao nodded, "It doesn't take many to find some reliable people, just three or five."

"Well, the difficulty is 'reliability'. You can't send your cronies to make noodles, can you?"

Ye Fan twirled in his arms and muttered sullenly: "I can't do without my family at the winery. I don't worry about others except Uncle Yu and Brother Erlang. Brother Dalang is in charge of the oil mill. There's no one else."

"Where's Guan Saburo?"

"Yes, and third brother Guan!" Ye Fan raised his head, his eyes sparkled, "Why are you so smart?"

Li Yao hooked his lips and moved his face closer.

"Cut, coquettish ghost." Ye Fan said disgusted, and kissed more actively than anyone else.

Taking advantage of no one around, Li Yao forcefully kissed back.

In early autumn, the wind in the river was not too cool, and the two of them cuddled together like this, forgetting the time and the burden on their shoulders, simply enjoying the tranquility and beauty of this moment.

***

Ye Fan was worrying about the manpower of the noodle factory when someone delivered it to his door.

Xu Niang and Ying Niang carried a wicker basket into Ye's small kiln.A sackcloth was spread over the basket, and the sackcloth was pulled back to reveal what was underneath.

There are thick and thin, straight and curved, brittle and hard, showing a translucent shape.

Ye Fan was surprised, "This is... vermicelli? Where did you get the sweet potato?"

Xu Niang and Ying Niang looked at each other and smiled.

"We've never heard of what Xiao Lang said. It's made from the spring fruits you asked to pick up."

It's also coincidental, during these days Yingniang was focused on finding out Chunguo's new method, not for the reward Ye Fan promised, but simply wanting to do her part.

Perhaps she was stunned after thinking about it for too long. A few days ago, she soaked the flour and fruit powder and forgot.After a night, I went to look again, and all the flour sank to the bottom of the basin.

Yingniang was so distressed that she quickly poured out the clear liquid on top and dried the flour on the bottom again.She didn't want to waste the food, so she remixed the flour and planned to roll it into glutinous rice balls and eat it.

Unexpectedly, when Bai Shengsheng's noodles were put into the pot, they turned transparent. After being boiled in the broth for a long time, they did not rot, and they tasted springy and firm.

"Xiao Lang, don't worry, we have tasted it all, just cook it more and make it softer, this thing will not spoil your stomach."

Ye Fan nodded again and again, "I know, I've eaten...it's not cornstarch, it's something else, very similar to this."

How could he forget that since the roasted spring fruit is similar to potatoes and sweet potatoes, the starch content must not be low, so it can naturally be used to make vermicelli.

For a moment, a list of dish names floated in Ye Fan's mind - minced meat vermicelli, cabbage fried vermicelli, pork stewed vermicelli, fennel bean sprouts, Northeast stew... Alas!Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

Moreover, the vermicelli will not go bad after two or three years in a cool and dry place after being dried in the sun. It is light in weight, not afraid of pressure, and not easy to break. It is more suitable for long-distance transportation than dried noodles.

It was a surprise.

As the "inventor" of vermicelli, Yingniang received an enviable opportunity in addition to the material reward—a whole ten carts of noodles—to work in a noodle factory.

Besides Yingniang, Ye Fan also hired other people from their "Women's Home".

From their attitudes towards Liao Hao, he could see that these people were kind, upright, able to distinguish right from wrong, and know how to be grateful.Ye Fan is willing to trust them.

Seeing these ladies, Guan Sanlang was a little embarrassed at first, and quietly pulled Ye Fan aside to complain.

Xu Niang happened to see him and scolded him, but Guan Sanlang let go instead.As Xu Niang said, they are all here to work, as long as they have strength, what is the difference between men and women?

Without setting off firecrackers or publicizing, "Yip's Noodle Factory" just opened in such a low-key way.
