After Xie Xun's injury improved, Jiang Shuyao returned to his previous habit, spending a lot of time thinking about food every day. A while ago, Xie Xun went out to work in Beijing, and Jiang Shuyao was not ready in time, so she could only bring him sauce and bacon, but now that she had learned from the past, she reconsidered to make some portable and easy-to-make meals.

Xie Xun often shared interesting stories on the road to her during her recuperation, and Jiang Shuyao learned more about the habits of the ancients.

Ordinary people will not bring some pots and pans, rice, meat and vegetables like traveling, and most of them eat dry food. Xie Xun and the others disliked eating too much dry food and choked, so they would smoke it with steam of hot water to soften the dry food before dipping it in the sauce.

The more he said, the clearer the thoughts in Jiang Shuyao's mind.

How to make a delicious and easy-to-carry meal under the condition of only hot water

She has been busy in the kitchen for the past few days. After Xie Xun's injury was slightly better, he followed her to the kitchen and stood aside to watch the excitement.

Xie Xun stepped into the small kitchen, and the first thing he saw was the removed window.

Jiang Shuyao took off the window and installed the mesh. Now that the moisture of the noodles has almost dried, it is time for the next step.

"Why did you dry the noodles?" he wondered.

Jiang Shuyao took off the noodles and explained: "This is dried noodles. After the noodles are dried, they are easier to store. Next time you want to eat noodles, you don't need to re-mix the noodles. already."

Xie Xun nodded and sighed: "It turns out that it can be like this." After speaking, after a pause, he suddenly thought of something, "If this is the case, then I can bring noodles to cook next time I travel, and I don't need to eat dry. dry food?"

Jiang Shuyao smiled and said, "What's so delicious about the noodles with light belts?"

"And the sauce. After cooking the noodles and mixing them with the sauce, it's just right." He quickly arranged the meal, but just saying that, he was actually a little hungry.

Jiang Shuyao thought for a while: "That's fine too."

There are many kinds of instant foods, such as red oil noodles, dry mixed noodles, covered noodles, etc. In addition to noodles, there are also instant noodles, which can be eaten by boiling or soaking in hot water.

But when it comes to convenience food, they are no match for the most popular convenience food creator, instant noodles.

The instant noodles are different from the above-mentioned convenience foods. The noodles are fried, and they are tougher and more fragrant after being boiled. If there is no hot water, they can be eaten as dry noodles. Save longer.

The vermicelli she made is a regular slender type. After removing it, put it into a pot and cook it. Remove it and drain it. After the noodles are almost dry, pour a lot of oil into the pot and put the noodles in.

"Huh," there was a loud noise, and the scent of oil overflowed.

Because Xie Xun was lying all day long, Jiang Shuyao was afraid that he would not digest well, so he never let him eat heavy oil and heavy food. Now Xie Xun couldn't stop swallowing when he smelled the fragrance of the oil.

After the splashing oil bubbles disappeared, Jiang Shuyao fished out the noodles with long chopsticks. The noodles are rubbed in with eggs. After frying, there is a strong mellow fragrance. The heat is controlled just right. The noodles come out with golden color, distinct roots, and crispy and delicious looking.

Xie Xun had eaten naan, and thought that Jiang Shuyao did this. Although he didn't understand why he wanted to make it look like the roots were separated, he still cheered: "What a fragrant naan." After that, he sneaked around to Jiang Shuyao's side. , want to reach out and steal one to eat.

Jiang Shuyao turned around, and he immediately retracted his hand, feeling lingering fears.

"It's not naan, it's noodles."

"Noodles?" Xie Xun was even more puzzled. "Why do you want to fry noodles? How can you eat these crispy noodles?"

"Noodles are eaten boiled or soaked, of course." Jiang Shuyao began to prepare instant noodle seasonings. Because there is no time to dry the vegetables, the freshness of the soup base cannot be provided by the vegetables, but must be provided by the ingredients.

She turned her back, and Xie Xun started to move again.

When he was about to move, Jiang Shuyao turned around again, took the sauce, saw Xie Xun standing aside, and said, "It's not very convenient for me to cook when you stand here."

Xie Xun could only take a step back, looking at the golden and crispy noodles.

Really fragrant, the naan outside is not so fragrant. Is it because of rubbing the eggs in

"I want to eat omelette noodles tonight," he pleaded.

Jiang Shuyao naturally responded.

Just when Xie Xun was thinking about how to eat some instant noodles, a little radish head ran in outside the door and shouted, "Third uncle! Third aunt!"

Because Xie Xun was injured, the Xu family did not allow the twins to disturb him often, so the twins hadn't come to the third room for a long time.

When they came to the third room, not only Xie Zhao was excited, but even Xie Yao trotted behind him. It's a pity that Xie Xun was injured, they couldn't jump on him all at once, they could only stop in front of him.

As soon as Xie Xun stuffed the instant noodles into his mouth, Xie Zhao rushed in like a calf and caught him.

Xie Zhao's big grape-like eyes rolled around a few times, looking at Xie Xun, hehe smiled: "Uncle San~"

Xie Xun was extremely embarrassed in his heart, and he pretended to be calm on the surface. He waved, and Xie Zhao and Xie Yao came over.

Jiang Shuyao was carrying them on his back and could not see their small movements.

Xie Xun whispered, "Your third aunt won't let me eat oily food."

Xie Zhao nodded in understanding.

Xie Yao looked at him quietly, as if to say: Is this the reason for you to steal it

Xie Xun was even more embarrassed. The eldest brother and the second brother said that he had the same temperament as Xie Yao when he was a child. No wonder he has been treated as a little adult since he can remember. It is really helpless to face such a child.

He was seen stealing food just now, and Xie Zhao followed suit, and he also ate instant noodles on tiptoe.

He was much bolder than Xie Xun, chewing "click", one after another without stopping.

Xie Yao looked at Xie Zhao, then Xie Xun, and followed him on tiptoe and took a piece of instant noodles to eat.

Xie Xun was hooked by their food and ate together.

When the instant noodles went down, Jiang Shuyao turned around and saw the two children who were stealing the food at a glance. The older one had just stopped and was not caught.

"Xie Boyuan!" Jiang Shuyao said with a frown, "Children are ignorant, are you ignorant?"

She came over and asked the twins, "Have you washed your hands? Why don't you ask and just eat it, what if you can't eat it?"

Xie Zhao looked up at Xie Xun, as if he meant to confess him.

Xie Xun quickly said, "They asked me."

Hearing this, Jiang Shuyao stared at Xie Xun, which made Xie Xun feel a little guilty for a while. When he was about to admit his mistake, he heard Jiang Shuyao mutter: "Just like you, how to teach children in the future."

These words hit Xie Xun, and he blushed immediately, bowed his head and said, "It's mine or not, I will correct it and be a good father."

When Jiang Shuyao took the instant noodles and went back to the kitchen table to cook the noodles, Xie Xun was still frowning and thinking seriously.

Xie Zhao took out the instant noodles he had just hidden from his sleeve, chewed it "kachakacha", raised his neck and said to Xie Xun, "Third uncle, is third aunt pregnant?"

Xie Xun was woken up all of a sudden, yes, the eight characters haven't been written yet, what is he thinking about.

Here Jiang Shuyao started to make instant noodles. In order to test whether the thickness of the noodles was appropriate, she boiled and soaked a bowl respectively, and the finished products were all good.

The sauce package is rich in sauce and full of meat flavor; the powder package is ground with seaweed, shiitake mushrooms, etc., and mixed with spices to enhance freshness. The finished product tastes similar to modern instant noodles, and even more because of the sufficient materials A savory smell.

The soup boiled in the sauce bag is clearer than the stock, but because of the function of the powder bag, the umami is not bad, and the instant noodles are kneaded into the egg, and the mellow flavor is also compensated. Looking at the simple and single bowl of noodles, it is actually quite ingenious.

After Jiang Shuyao took a bite on each side, he felt that the taste was good, so he sprinkled chopped green onion, blanched green vegetables and put it in. Finally, according to Xie Xun's request, he fried an egg and spread it on top.

Because the two little guys were also there, Jiang Shuyao also gave them two small bowls to taste.

The three of them stood in a row, and they couldn't wait to taste before they were brought to the table.

The chopsticks jumped, the suction slipped into the mouth, and the movements were uniform.

The fried eggs are golden in color, the noodles are stronger than regular ramen noodles, and after the oil is passed, the aroma of the eggs is locked by the high temperature, and it tastes more delicious and mellow. It is said to be instant noodles, but it is more like ramen noodles. It is soft and elastic. Even the instant noodles that are soaked will not lose that unique smoothness.

The smooth ramen is wrapped in a clear sauce-flavored soup, and the heat is just right, which not only allows the marinated flavor of the sauce package to be incorporated into the ramen, but also does not allow the ramen to absorb too much soup and become soft and waxy, losing itself. The firmness and tenderness. The chewy noodles, the rich egg fragrance and the light oily fragrance spread on the tongue, which is unique compared to ordinary noodles.

After eating the soft and firm noodles, look up and drink the soup below.

The clear noodle soup is mainly protruding a sauce fragrance and a marinated fragrance. The finely minced meat is entered together with the soup. When you taste it carefully, there are also the noodles and egg fragrance scattered in the soup. You can have it without the base of the broth Such deliciousness, not to mention hungry pedestrians on the road, even those staying at home can't refuse this bowl of ramen. It's quick and easy to make, delicious, warm to eat, and leaves a lingering fragrance on the lips and cheeks, but I don't think it's enjoyable at all.

So after eating the noodles, the three of them stood still and waited eagerly for Jiang Shuyao to fry the noodles again.

It's a pity that when Jiang Shuyao was about to continue, the old lady sent someone to send a message. The boss of the big room came back from the academy and asked the third room to have a family banquet in the evening.

Not to mention the two little ones, even Xie Xun was a little disappointed.

When Xie Ye and Xie Ye arrived at the room, Xie Zhao and Xie Yao squeezed out a smile to greet the eldest brother and the second brother who returned from the academy.

The brothers were extraordinarily warm, and the four sons of the big room greeted each other and sat down at the table.

The two sides looked at each other, wondering why the other was unhappy.

From Xie Ye Xie Ye's point of view, when they came back from the academy, they were finally free, but they couldn't go to the snack street to eat and drink happily. They had to have a family dinner with the family first, which was really annoying. Thinking about the scene of saying goodbye to classmates, Xie Ye Xie Xie was very unhappy. The classmates think that the snack street is delicious enough, and they will definitely eat more delicious food after returning to Xie's house. Xie Ye Xie Ye only feels very helpless to the envious eyes of the classmates.

Not only can they not eat better food than the snack street, but they also have to eat some bland meals with the old lady.

For example, the simmered soft-shelled turtle in the soup in front of them is exquisitely done and fresh to drink, but it lacks the taste. Compared with these delicacies with expensive ingredients, what they want to eat are oily and spicy fried skewers and hot blanching. Spicy.

In Xie Zhao and Xie Yao's view, they were finally released by their mother to the third hospital, and they could have dinner tonight, but it was a pity that the eldest brother and the second brother went back to the house.

The juniors are not happy, but the elders are happy.

Even Xie Guogong, who didn't show up very much, came and looked at Xie Ye Xie Ye was quite relieved: "In the blink of an eye, you two have reached the age of the imperial examination."

Jiang Shuyao listened and was a little surprised. After thinking about it carefully, it was indeed autumn, and it was the time of autumn.

The old lady also smiled and echoed a few words, asking if she was ready and whether it was arranged properly.

Xie Ye Xie Ye answered one by one.

The old lady said and beckoned, and the maid came over and presented the wooden box to Xie Ye.

"Grandma?" The two asked in confusion.

"Open it and take a look." The old lady smiled kindly.

The two opened the wooden box and saw good ginseng with roots lying inside.

The rules of the township examination were strict, and the food and lodging had to be confined to a small numbered room, and the only food to eat was to bring dry food, nothing more than some dry buns, steamed buns and pickles. Don't dare to drink too much hot water, so as not to run back and forth to the toilet.

Xie Xun suffered during the scientific examination. He didn't eat or drink on the last day. He supported it all with one breath. Finally, he handed in the paper early because he was really hungry, and he didn't want to eat the steamed bun with the outer skin hard and hard. .

So a piece of ginseng is extremely important for candidates. Even if the room and board can't keep up, if you take a sip, the energy of the answer sheet will not be vented.

"Thank you grandma." The two stood up and thanked.

Xie Xun suddenly remembered something and interjected: "By the way, you don't need to bring pickles, but bring the meat sauce made by your third aunt." He and his colleagues in the East Palace are the people who understand the deliciousness of steamed buns.

Although I don't understand what meat sauce is, but the three words "Three Aunts" are the living signboard, Xie Ye Xie Xie quickly thanked him.

At this time, Jiang Shuyao said, "Why don't you bring instant noodles. I'll pack them in a bamboo tube, soak them in a bucket and throw them away. It's much more delicious than eating steamed buns."

Xie Xun was stunned and nodded in agreement. Xie Zhao followed the discussion, Xu Shi quickly asked his son to thank him, Xie Li asked what instant noodles were, and Zhou Shi asked when he was thinking about eating...

A group of people were lively and lively. The old lady had been in charge of the family for more than 30 years, and she had never seen a family banquet so relaxed and noisy.

After the old lady was slapped in the face last time, she figured it out after many days of slack. She chanted scriptures and worshipped Buddha every day, and stayed quietly in Shouning Hall, not asking about the third room.

Looking at it now, it seems that in the blink of an eye, Jiang Shuyao, who was once hated, has become the most favored person in Xie Guogong's mansion. She doesn't understand, she doesn't understand too much.

Even the taciturn Xie Guogong was amused by their noisy atmosphere and asked Xie Li next to him: "Look at you, it seems that you have eaten the food made by the third daughter-in-law?"

The old lady waited for them to quiet down, but after a long time, the atmosphere became more and more relaxed.

The taciturn and serious eldest son, who was even a little afraid of her, actually asked with a face: "Third younger brother and sister, should we sell hot sticks in the Lin's market? My colleagues have been pestering me for them all day after they tasted them once."

"It should be, but you have to ask the second sister-in-law about this. The spicy sticks are mostly through her hands."

"Since the spicy strips are going to be sold, what about the cake?"

What's the matter? The old lady had a headache when she heard it, and she couldn't bear it and shouted, "Quiet! It's the rules!"

Everyone turned to look at her in unison, making her feel out of place for a while.

She swallowed that breath, and her eyes slid across the faces of the people at the table.

Changed, everything changed.

She is now sure that people who used to dislike Jiang Shuyao have defected one after another. Not only have they defected, but they also hold the moon in their hearts and love Jiang Shuyao, who used to be incompatible.
