Rebirth before the doomsday: I quietly emptied the city of supplies

Chen Yu said irritably that this kind of weather would prevent him from doing many things! "Yeah."

Ling Qing nodded, and the breakfast followed Chen Yu inside.

Looking at the gray sky, this rain should last at least two or three days!

After returning to the room, the two had breakfast. The rain had already gotten quite heavy. Under such circumstances, Chen Yu and Ling Qing had no way to work at all.

"What are we doing today?"

Ling Qing looked at Chen Yu who was a little irritated and asked.

In fact, she knew that she really shouldn't ask such a question at this time! "Today!"

Chen Yu sighed deeply, looked at the raindrops outside, and pondered for a moment.

Then he looked at the bamboo in front of the eaves, as if he had thought of something, and the corners of his mouth suddenly raised, and he smiled and said: "I think I thought of what we can do today!" "Ah? Then what are we going to do today!"

Looking at the confident Chen Yu, Ling Qing asked curiously. Anyway, in this kind of weather, he really couldn't think of anything to do! "We can make vermicelli today..." Chen Yu smiled and said. "Vermicelli?"

"But our stone mill is now wet, so we have no place to roll or cut!" Ling Qing said with some confusion.

With Chen Yu's brain, he should have considered this situation!

"Today we don't need to roll or cut. I will teach you a very primitive way to make vermicelli..." Chen Yu said to Ling Qing excitedly. He was looking forward to making vermicelli in that way. The vermicelli made would definitely be more uniform and better looking than those rolled or cut by hand! "First, take 20 or 30 banana potatoes, then mash them and extract the starch and sesame from them."

Chen Yu said to Ling Qing.

I have other things to do, which is to make a very simple tool, which is used to make vermicelli. Of course, you can also make noodles...

A very popular noodle in the north: yemian!!!

The name of the machine is the lever machine...

First of all, I need some bamboos, at least three, which is a piece of cake for me. Because bamboos are something that I always have in my shelter. Chen Yu first found a thicker bamboo, about as thick as his calf! It's almost right. If it's too thick, it's not good... Then cut off a piece of the bamboo, leaving one side, something similar to a water cup.

……

The next thing to do is to drill some very evenly spaced small holes from the bottom of the bamboo tube. The small holes are about the thickness of an 8-gauge iron wire, about 20 holes, and that's it!

Then the second thing is to find two slightly thinner bamboo poles of the same length, 80 cm is enough. Then tie the newly drilled bamboo tube in the middle of the two bamboos, and then soak it in your hands.

Firstly, it is to remove the special smell of bamboo. Secondly, it is mainly used to make the rope tighter, as the rope will swell when it comes into contact with water.

The third step is to find a bamboo that is slightly smaller than the bamboo tube. It should be a little thinner. It is best if it can fit into the bamboo tube. This is perfect... Then tie a pillar on this smaller bamboo pole with a bark rope. The role of this bamboo is to use it as a lever!!

……

In fact, the principle is very simple. That is to stuff the dough or dough into the big bamboo tube and then pound it tightly. Then put the smaller bamboo tube into the bamboo tube containing the dough or dough. Then put the two bamboos tied to the big bamboo tube on the pot. Then two people press hard on the lever tied to the thin bamboo tube.

Then, under the huge pressure, the dough will be squeezed out from the small holes in the big bamboo tube, forming long vermicelli or noodles.

This method is very laborious, but the vermicelli or noodles pressed out of it are very chewy.

Half an hour later, Chen Yu had already finished making this unique noodle press! At the same time, Ling Qing had almost precipitated all the taro starch...

Then the next step is to put the precipitated starch on the kang and dry it at high temperature. At that temperature, it is estimated that only two or three hours will be enough! After all, there are not many vermicelli made, and the kang is big enough, so it is easy to dry the wet starch.

……

Three hours later, it was about 10:00 in the morning. After all, there was no sunlight, and I didn't have a strong sense of time. I basically just relied on my mind...

Chen Yu pinched the starch on the kang, and it was almost dry! Now he could start kneading the dough and then start boiling water.

You have to mix the dough yourself, but boiling water, which doesn't require any technical skills, can naturally be left to Ling Qing! After more than ten minutes, the water in the pot has boiled, and Chen Yu's dough has almost been mixed...

"Whether it will succeed or not, let's see the magical moment next!"

Chen Yu stuffed the dough into the big bamboo tube, and then covered the big bamboo tube with the small bamboo tube. Next, Chen Yu and Ling Qing each held one side of the lever and pressed it down hard.

Because Chen Yuhe's dough is very, very hard.

Pressing it takes a lot of energy, but once it is pressed, its flexibility is absolutely amazing! With a nervous mood, Chen Yu finally successfully pressed the first handful of vermicelli. Chen Yu and Ling Qing both tasted it, and it tasted quite nice! And it was very strong...

After the vermicelli is cooked in boiling water, it will be more flexible and not easy to break. So after taking out the vermicelli, you must hang it up and let it dry by itself. Then you can store it for a long time...

"Chen Yu, you are so talented!"

"You can actually think of this way to make vermicelli?"

Ling Qing looked at the white vermicelli in the boiling water with excitement and spoke with admiration.

Since I met Chen Yu, I finally understood the saying, there is nothing Chen Yu can't do, only I can't think of it. "What genius?"

"This is the wisdom of our ancestors. I just took a shortcut and simplified it..." Chen Yu smiled and said.

When I was a kid, I loved the early twelfth lunar month at home. Not only could I kill a pig and eat pork, but I could also make vermicelli at home. The vermicelli stewed with pork and cabbage was so delicious! This lever machine was what I used to make vermicelli when I was a kid, so I was very familiar with it. "Oh, I don't care anyway. I'm yours. You're super awesome." Ling Qing pouted and said.
