Chapter 181 Hot and Sour Rice Noodles
Rows of vermicelli were placed there to dry, and Su Mu felt very emotional as he had made something new.
"Little sister, we are back." Su Yuanshan and Jiang Xiaoman walked in side by side.
"How is it? Is everything going well?" Su Dingguo asked.
"It went smoothly." His father-in-law and mother-in-law were still very enthusiastic towards him.
"What's this hanging?"
"Sister-in-law, come here quickly. Let me show you the vermicelli we made ourselves." Su Mu pulled Jiang Xiaoman excitedly.
"Vermicelli?"
“It’s vermicelli made from sweet potatoes.”
Jiang Xiaoman suddenly realized what sweet potato was. When it came to sweet potato, she knew what it was. Mumu had given her sweet potato before.
"Let's eat spicy and sour vermicelli with minced meat tonight!" Su Mu has already thought of many delicious foods made with vermicelli in his mind, and he can try them slowly in the future.
"Great!"
"Mumu, let me help." Jiang Xiaoman washed her hands and came over.
"Let's prepare to cut some minced meat first."
Su Mu took out the meat and several people started to mince the meat. Although not much could be put into the noodles, there were many people in the family and they had big appetites.
"Put the minced meat in a pan with oil, add two slices of ginger, and stir-fry until the moisture inside is dried up."
The minced meat sizzles when poured into the pot.
"Pour soy sauce, sugar and salt into the pot and stir-fry evenly." The minced meat is slightly reddish brown and can be served. Set aside.
"The rest of the hot and sour noodles are very simple, and it mainly depends on the seasoning."
Put soy sauce, vinegar, oil used to fry peppercorns, and pepper powder in a bowl. You can add a little garlic water and a little sugar to neutralize the flavors. It will be softer and more layered.
Take a spoonful of Su's secret chili oil, which is made from several kinds of chilies in different proportions.
"Put the sweet potato noodles in a pot and cook until done, take them out, put them in a bowl, and add the soup stock from which the noodles were cooked."
Su Mu scooped a spoonful of soup and poured it in, and the taste of the hot and sour noodles came out immediately.
"What a nice smell!" Everyone's nose twitched.
"Here is minced meat and coriander, just add as much as you want."
"Hey!" Everyone went to get his own bowl, adding minced meat, pickled mustard, and a little green onion.
This way a bowl of hot and sour noodles is ready.
Several people sat around the table, which was filled with a few side dishes and steamed buns.
The third brother took a steamed bun, scooped a spoonful of minced meat into the bun, and took a mouthful of hot and sour noodles. "Delicious! So satisfying, so delicious, so sour and spicy and refreshing."
Fortunately, I made more minced meat this time, otherwise it wouldn’t be enough.
"So delicious! I want to make such delicious meals in the future!" Jiang Xiaoman thought that way she could eat them anytime and anywhere.
"If it tastes good, eat more." Su Mu ate the hot and sour noodles. It was delicious and she liked it very much.
After dinner, Su Mu prepared to send a few bowls of food to Grandpa Ji as well. Since their two families became neighbors, they would send each other any delicious food.
Su Mu prepared a big food box and put all the cold food, meat jerky, dry vermicelli, and hot and sour noodles he made today into it.
"Grandpa, I'm going to visit Grandpa Ji!" Su Mu went out carrying the lunch box.
"Okay, go ahead." Su Dingguo nodded.
"Ji Shiyan, you are here too?" Su Mu said.
"Yes, Mumu, is there anything you want to talk to me about?" Ji Shiyan asked expectantly. Hurry up and tell her you are here to see me.
"I'm looking for Grandpa Ji."
If Ji Shiyan had ears, they would probably droop down at this moment.
"I came to see you and brought you some food."
Ji Shiyan took the big food box and put it on the table, "I'll take you to find the emperor's grandfather. He's in the backyard."
The two of them went to the backyard together.
"Su girl." When Su Mu entered, he saw the emperor watering the small plots of land. The seeds were brought by her.
"Has Grandpa Ji had dinner yet?"
"Not yet. Look at the vegetables in my fields. They are growing so well." They are green and pleasing to the eye. They are much better than what he had grown before.
"Grandpa Ji, these lettuces are ready to be eaten." Su Mu said.
"Can we eat them now? Then I'll pick a few and try." The emperor squatted down and wanted to pull them up by the roots.
Su Mu hurriedly stopped him, "Grandpa Ji, if you pick the outer layers of leaves and eat them, the lettuce inside can continue to grow."
If you keep picking it like this, you can eat it forever. The lettuce can grow very tall, similar to celery.
"Oh, I see." The emperor went to the fields to pick a few vegetable leaves himself and did not allow anyone else to help him. He had to pick the fruits of his labor himself.
"Come on, girl Su, try the vegetables I grew myself." The emperor held a handful of vegetables as if he was holding some treasure.
"Okay, Grandpa Ji, I brought you some hot and sour noodles, which can be put in your mouth."
"Hot and sour noodles? Any new food? Thank you, Mumu."
"Is there one for me?" Ji Shiyan leaned close to Su Mu and asked softly.
"Yes, how can we miss yours?"
Su Mu packs the hot and sour noodles and soup noodles seasonings separately to prevent the sweet potato noodles from being mixed with instant noodles and losing their taste.
Several large bowls of hot and sour noodles were served, with layers of red oil floating on top and sesame seeds in the red oil, which looked very fragrant.
"Grandpa Ji's lettuce leaves can be blanched in the pot and added to the hot and sour noodles."
“Okay!” The dishes were blanched and put into the hot and sour noodles. The green vegetables in the red soup looked very appetizing.
"Mumu, try the vegetables I grow too."
There was a small bowl in front of Su Mu. Knowing that she had eaten late, he served her a little bit of food for her to try.
"It's delicious." Grandpa Ji took a bite, "This hot and sour noodle tastes great!"
"There's also this vegetable that we grow, and it tastes the same as the one that Mumu grows!" the emperor said excitedly.
This was the first time that the vegetables he grew did not die but grew fully alive!
"Grandpa Ji grows these vegetables very well." Su Mu and Ji Shiyan also praised.
Although these vegetables taste similar, there is not much difference.
"This flour is chewy and tastes great. What is this flour made of, girl Su?" asked the emperor.
"This powder is made from sweet potatoes. I also gave the dry powder to Grandpa Ji. It's in the box."
"Is that the roasted sweet potato we had last time?"
"Yes, Grandpa Ji has a good memory."
Ji Shiyan also recalled that time in his mind. They ate sweet potatoes and made a lot of bath beans. Those bath beans are still in his room.
"This sweet potato can be eaten like this." The emperor sighed.
"There are many ways to eat sweet potatoes. For storage, they can be cut into slices and dried. They can be kept in the winter when there are no vegetables. They can be preserved for a long time."
"That's great." Su Yatou said that the yield of sweet potatoes is very high, which can feed many people. Now sweet potatoes can be dried and preserved, so more people can survive in the winter.
"And this dried vermicelli can also be preserved for a long time." Su Mu took out the dried vermicelli, "This vermicelli is also very good for cooking and stewing meat!"
