After Black Lotus became a reborn person, he went completely crazy

"Are you planning to completely ignore her?" asked Gui Niang.

Xia Ran asked back: "If it were you, would you be able to take care of it? Wouldn't it be offensive?"

Gui Niang sighed. If it were her, she wouldn't want to care about it. But this child is only 6 years old. It's really contradictory. It's not right to care about it, and it's not right to ignore it.

After washing the gluten, filter the dough lumps with a fine sieve and let them settle.

In the evening, Xia Ran fried some shredded potatoes with meat sauce and ate it with rice. Shitou was twisted by his mother's ears and forced to go home today.

They left reluctantly, but what else could they do? They could only leave with regret. So, Xia Ran and Jing Wazi had dinner together.

Just after five o'clock the next day, Gui Niang came and knocked on the door.

Oh, the farmers in the village get up really early. Today, Shitou was in charge of helping to light the fire, and he came here with Gui Niang early in the morning.

Xia Ran poured out the waste water on the surface of the flour that had been precipitated overnight. After testing the consistency, she felt it was about right and demonstrated it to Gui Niang a few times.

How to brush the oil, when to add the water, how long to cook. After it is cooked, take it off and put it directly in the cold water basin next to it to cool down. After Gui Niang came twice in person, she got the hang of it. This piece was directly taken care of by her alone.

Xia Ran lit another pot, boiled some aniseed water, and added some hot oil, chopped green onions and vinegar.

Xia Ran's vinegar is very fragrant. I bought it in the village. It is real home-brewed grain vinegar. You can drink it directly. It is very fragrant. I will buy more and stock up.

The later it got, the harder it was to buy grain vinegar, because making vinegar was not profitable, and no one was willing to spend a lot of time and manpower to make it.

I asked Shitou to peel some fresh garlic and mash it. I shredded some cucumber and cut a few pieces of cold noodles that had been steamed and cooled.

Use aniseed water, cooking oil, chili oil, vinegar, and garlic paste to mix the cold noodles with cucumber shreds and bean sprouts. It is super fragrant. Xia Ran tasted it and found it very fragrant. In this weather, eating a bowl of cold noodles is absolutely perfect.

He directly gave a large bowl of the soup to Gui Niang and Shitou, each of them mixing it, and asked them to take some time to taste it first.

The two people who were eating didn't even raise their heads: "It smells so good, it's made by the country, it tastes better than the ones sold in the city. We'll definitely make money with this."

Shitou was so absorbed in his eating that he didn't pay attention to the fire and nearly got his hair burned by the flames from the stove.

The puppy was so greedy that he climbed onto Shitou's feet to play tricks, and then rolled around on Xia Ran's feet. He even wanted to jump up to eat, but unfortunately he was too small to jump up at all.

Xia Ran had no choice but to pick up two pieces of tasteless cold noodles and put them on its plate.

It swung its tail, calmed down, and started eating. It sniffed as it ate, feeling that something was wrong. From time to time, it looked up at the stone's mouth as it ate.

As for Shitou, he wants to eat more after finishing his meal.

Gui Niang asked: "Jian Guo, there is no such delicious cold noodles in the city, how do you make it?"

"I used the spices for stewing meat to make the sauce. No one else knows this. This is our selling point, what differentiates us from other cold noodles. And the chili oil is not just any ordinary chili oil. I made it specially after some research. Others don't have the fragrance like ours."

"Yeah, well, let's not tell anyone about this."

After the three of them finished steaming the cold noodles and gluten and washed and cleaned up the pot, Uncle Nine and Uncle Ten arrived with the Yin-Yang Master and the hired craftsmen.

The Yin-Yang Master washed his hands, wrote and drew some talismans, and asked for the preparation of grains and cereals, which Xia Ran had already prepared, and took them out. Then the groundbreaking ceremony began.

The Yin-Yang Master put on his professional robe and beat his little Luoluo and small drum, chanting as he walked.

He walked a few steps and nodded. He walked a few steps and nodded. I don't know what he was saying. The second child also came to help.

After the earth god was installed, the Yin Yang Master said to start the work. Everyone took their positions and started digging the earth wall that would become the new gate.

After digging out a few key places, everyone worked together to push the wall outwards, with everyone's slogans, "One, two, three, up!"

Just listen, "bang", the earth wall collapsed. Bricks, cement and sand were all in place two days ago.

After the Yin-Yang Master finished his work, he went back to his room to rest. Usually in this situation, the host would provide a meal and give some money, and the matter would be over.

As for how much money to give, it depends on your own wishes. Generally, the host will take a little more, the Yin Yang Master will take a part, and the rest of the money will be returned.

There is a process like this: give, let, give, let again, give, and let one last time, three gives and three let.

This shows that the host is generous and righteous, and the Yin-Yang master is not a bad person, he is quite particular and has a lot of character, he only takes what he should take, and doesn't take a penny more from the host. This is the end of the process for both parties. I don't know who invented this process, but Xia Ran found it very interesting.

It's a little cute, and has some ancient ritual heritage in it. The Yin-Yang Master here knows and uses what should be considered a branch of Zhuyoushu.

Its existence is to solve problems. Simple, efficient and direct.

Xia Ran directly brought two large bowls of cold noodles to the Yin-Yang Master and Uncle Jiu, and along with it, a plate of cut pot-cakes.

They didn't expect to eat this today, so they took it without hesitation, stirred it evenly with chopsticks, and started eating. If it was spicy, they ate a few bites of the Guokui, which was fragrant and satisfying.

The Guokui Xiaran cuts the oil Guokui, which is natural flavored, not sweet. There are two flavors of Guokui here, normal natural flavorless and sweet.

Some people like to eat natural and tasteless ones, while others like to eat sweet ones. Xia Ran likes to eat both, each has its own fragrance. The choice of which one to eat depends on what to eat with it.

In the end, the two of them each ate two large bowls of cold noodles and finished a plate and a half of pot-cakes before they were full.

"This is so delicious, and I am so satisfied with it. The ones I buy in the city are not as delicious as yours. The main reason is that I bought a small amount. It's such a shallow bowl, and I can eat it all with one chopstick. His small bowl is only enough for me to eat two full bites, and it's so expensive, I can't afford it. Today I finally satisfied my craving."

Guokui pancakes are not cheap either. They are good things that have helped build the country. Uncle Jiu gave them a five-star rating.

Although Onmyoji didn't praise it as much as Uncle Jiu, it could be seen from his sparkling eyes that he was also very satisfied with the meal.

Xia Ran poured another cup of sugar tea for each of them and asked directly:

"Uncle Qi, I want to open a small shop to sell needles and thread and other things to earn a living. In your opinion, where should I put the shop, or where is the best location to build it so that I can make more money?"

The Yin-Yang Master, surnamed Qi, lived in the neighboring Qijia Village, which was downstream of Chenjia Village. The two villages were basically next to each other, with only a few acres of land between them.
