Chapter 250 Mutton Noodles
Chapter 250 Mutton Noodles
As Mu'er grew older and understood more and more, Xu Han always avoided Mu'er when using the space.
The child is young and won’t tell others now.
But there is no guarantee that after the disaster year is over, he might accidentally say it out when he comes into contact with other people.
So now when Xu Han uses the space, she avoids Mu'er.
Even when taking things out of the space sometimes, he would not take them out directly, but would choose to go to the kitchen or take them out from the cabinet or something, and then take them out after setting up a cover.
It also prevents Mu'er from thinking that everyone is like this. I also don't want Mu'er to think that his mother can make anything and lose the concept of how much things are used in daily life. I am even more afraid that he will develop a wasteful habit.
Xu Han first came to the woodshed, put all the things in the woodshed into the space, then turned around and entered the room where Lu's father and mother lived before.
After the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao moved out last time, there has been nothing placed in this room. It is empty and there is no need to tidy it up now.
I usually clean this room, and since the door is always locked, it doesn't look dirty.
After Xu Han mopped the floor and wiped the table, she took out the things in the space and arranged them neatly, trying not to leave any empty space and stacking them all compactly.
After putting the things in place, Xu Han turned around and went to Yunhua's room and moved the furniture and other things into Zhao Yunyun's room, so Yunhua's room was empty.
After everything was ready and it was time for lunch, Xu Han went to the kitchen to make lunch for everyone.
Today's weather feels even colder than the last two days! The temperature has dropped a lot without the sun.
So Xu Han planned to make some mutton noodles for lunch today, which would be comfortable to eat while hot.
Let’s start with a slightly harder noodle. Xu Han uses multi-grain flour. Multi-grain meat noodles are more fragrant than white flour meat noodles.
Put the kneaded dough aside to rise for a while. After it has risen and become smooth, you can roll it into noodles.
While the dough was rising, Xu Han was not idle either. She took out a small piece of lamb leg from the space, cut it into thin shreds, and put it in water to soak the blood. After a while, the noodles she made no longer had a fishy smell.
He took out two more lettuces from the space. There weren't many vegetables in the space now. He had stockpiled a lot of vegetables, but he had to eat them every day, so he ate them faster.
Let's grow some vegetables after the rain! If the vegetables are gone, there will be one less dish on the table. It's not good to eat only meat every day. Eating meat, vegetables and eggs together will make the nutrition more balanced.
After preparing the vegetables, Xu Han called Lu Chuan to roll the noodles. Because the dough was relatively hard and Xu Han was not strong enough, the noodles she rolled out were not as chewy and delicious as those rolled out by Lu Chuan.
While Lu Chuan was rolling noodles in the kitchen, Xu Han started to heat the pot, added cooking oil into the pot, and put the mutton, green onion and ginger directly into the pot when it was hot to avoid the fishy smell.
Then start stir-frying the mutton. After the mutton is cooked, add most of the water into the pot. After the water boils, you can put the noodles in.
Xu Han cut the noodles into thin pieces and put them into the pot together with the flour used for rolling the noodles. The noodles made in this way are sticky and particularly fragrant.
"It's time to eat. Come and wash your hands and do it after dinner!" Xu Han shouted outside.
"Come on, what are we having for dinner today?" the Taoist priest asked as he walked towards the kitchen.
"It's been a while since you've had mutton noodles! I saw the weather is getting cooler today, so I made some hot meals." Xu Han said.
"It's been a while since I last ate. I'm going to wash my hands first. I'll serve a little less for the first bowl. I want to eat the second bowl of noodles. The second bowl tastes better."
"Me too." Lu Chuan quickly replied.
"Me too." Grandpa Zhao also said.
"Okay, I got it. I'll give you less for the first bowl." Xu Han replied while serving rice.
The second bowl of shredded pork noodles and dried vegetable noodles taste better. The first bowl of noodles is not sticky, while the second bowl of noodles is thicker and more fragrant.
Everyone enjoyed the second bowl of noodles, and Xu Han was no exception.
So Xu Han didn’t give much for the first bowl, and added more soup for the second bowl, which tasted very good with the thick noodles.
"Hmm! It smells so good! I'm drooling just looking at it." Lu Chuan said as he picked up a bowl of noodles.
"I haven't eaten shredded pork noodles for a long time. Let's eat shredded pork noodles tomorrow! I prefer shredded pork noodles with sweet potato leaves. "The Taoist priest said while slurping the noodles.
"Okay, this is simple and easy to make. We can eat it whenever we want."
"Eat~" Mu'er said as she took her spoon and ate the noodles that Xu Han had cooled down in advance.
"Okay, we have a new little foodie in our family." Grandpa Zhao said with a smile.
"Hahahaha, the whole family is foodies, so no one should look down on anyone else." Xu Han continued.
"Hahahahaha. Being able to eat is a blessing. There's nothing wrong with that."
"Is there much flour at home? Is it enough to eat?" Lu Chuan asked.
"There's still a lot of white flour! There's not much bean flour and other things left. Let's grind some more corn later! It won't be ground if it rains." Xu Han thought for a while and said.
"Okay, take out the grains later and grind some corn."
"Yeah! I'll get it after dinner."
Fortunately, there was corn at home to help with the grinding, otherwise it would have been a huge project just to grind flour for so many people.
Without corn, I guess several people would be grinding flour every day and would have no time to do other things.
At this moment, Xu Han was really grateful that she had wisely bought the corn. Even when there was a drought and no water, Xu Han did not think of killing the corn to save water. She saved some water for the corn to drink.
There is still a lot of time! Life without corn will be even harder, so I think we can’t give up corn.
Xu Han quickly finished her lunch and then said, "You guys take care of Mu'er. I'll go outside to collect the firewood."
Everyone understood Xu Han's meaning in an instant. They knew that Xu Han wanted to use the space to transport the firewood that had been chopped this morning to the woodshed, so they cooperated very well and watched Mu'er, not letting him go out.
Xu Han came to the outside of the yard and directly put the straw mat under the firewood into the space, along with the firewood on top.
Then he went into the room in the backyard and poured out the firewood, and put it in order when he had time.
After everything was done, there was no lunch break today, and everyone started chopping firewood faster.
