Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 387 Failed Spicy Noodles

Lu Chuan said with a smile, "Don't worry about this, Xiaohan and I will take care of it. We will make sure that this New Year will be a lively one. Everyone will be happy."

Suddenly the courtyard became lively again, with everyone talking and laughing as they discussed what to eat, what to play, and what else to buy for the New Year.

Xu Han said, "We haven't been out for a long time since we last went to the county town. Let's go to the county town as a family when we have time."

"Sure, there's nothing to do at home now, so I can go anytime I want. I just bought the prey I hunted before, and I can get some money to spend."

Xu Han thought for a moment and asked, "Okay, but where can we buy the game now? We don't know anyone in the county town, and we don't know if Shopkeeper Li and Uncle Zhang have returned. We haven't heard from them for such a long time."

"Oh, that's right. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it. It's been such a long time since I asked about it, and I don't know if they've returned. The key to Shopkeeper Li's house is still in our house."

The Taoist priest lay in the rocking chair and said without opening his eyes, "What's the use of having a key in your house? People must have spare keys. And even if you come back with the key, the house is gone. With drought and floods, there are very few houses in the county that are well preserved."

The two of them thought it made sense, so they stopped worrying about it. However, they still had to inquire about it, after all, the two families had a good relationship.

"Then we can set up a stall at the market to sell them, or go to a restaurant and ask if they want them. However, we have a lot of prey at home, and most restaurants can't eat so much."

"Then let's go to the restaurant first, and then set up the stall. Anyway, we are not in a hurry to come back. We can stay in the county town for one night and come back the next day. Otherwise, we will be too rushed. It gets dark early in winter."

"Okay, it's settled. I'll go get rid of the wild boar while I'm not busy."

After Lu Chuan finished speaking, he started to pull the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest looked reluctant, but still got up and followed Lu Chuan to the backyard.

Xu Han stayed in the front yard, basking in the sun with her little son.

Xu Han lay down for a while and felt a little hungry, so she started thinking of ways to make something to eat.

What to eat? There are all kinds of nuts and fruits in the space, as well as some bread and biscuits.

However, these are more or less a bit sweet, and Xu Han doesn't like sweets. After thinking for a long time, she finally thought of what she wanted to eat.

How can we miss spicy noodles when talking about snacks? I ate a lot of them in my previous life, but the conditions did not allow it during the disaster years. Either there was no water or no time.

I was thinking all day long about how to store more food, but I never thought of making spicy noodles.

I have been reclaiming land and farming this year, and in my free time I was preparing to renovate and decorate the yard, so I didn't think about it.

It has been so long that Xu Han almost forgot about the existence of spicy strips. Today she happened to be free, and she had both time and the ingredients. Plus, she couldn't suppress her desire to eat spicy strips later. She couldn't wait any longer and had to start making them now.

Xu Han was drooling as she recalled how to make spicy noodles. The more she thought about it, the more she wanted to eat it. Then she quickly sent Ze'er to the backyard and started preparing to make the spicy noodles.

To make spicy noodles, you have to make beef tendon noodles first. This is very cheap nowadays, but it is still quite troublesome to make.

Since Xu Han had no tools, she could only use the most primitive method.

First, knead a large dough, then start washing the gluten, add yeast powder to the washed gluten and start fermenting.

After fermentation, roll it into thin slices with a rolling pin, and then cut it into spicy strips. Brush oil on a plate and steam it.

Xu Han did not waste the starch that was washed out, and made a lot of cold noodles. It was especially comfortable to eat on the kang in winter, and the feeling was different from that in summer.

After steaming the gluten, Xu Han started to boil the chili oil.

Heat oil in a pan, pour the spices, onions, ginger, and garlic into the pan and fry them until they turn yellow, then remove them from the pan and pour the prepared chili powder, cumin, sesame seeds, etc. into the pan.

Add appropriate amount of seasoning, then pour it into the gluten on the side, mix it evenly with your hands and the spicy strips are ready.

Xu Han took a bite and felt that it was not delicious but not bad either. It was different from the spicy noodles she had eaten in her previous life. It should be that the gluten was not prepared correctly. The beef tendon noodles in the video were all dried, while Xu Han’s were freshly made and had no elasticity.

There were many flavors of spicy strips that she had eaten in her previous life, and they tasted delicious. After thinking about it, Xu Han didn’t want to continue the experiment. Anyway, she had konjac noodles that she made, and they tasted very similar to spicy strips.

After thinking it through, Xu Han didn't make it difficult for herself. Although the newly made spicy strips were not particularly delicious, they could not be wasted. She would let everyone taste them when they had dinner later.

Fortunately, Xu Han was not very confident about making spicy strips this time, so she didn’t make many, otherwise she would have cried to death.

Spicy strips can be made not only with flour, but also with rice. There are also many spicy strips made from soy products.

However, you can still try the spicy strips made from soy products. After all, my family makes some tofu every year, and you can make some other soy products next time.

However, konjac cake is also very delicious, and my family likes it very much. I can make more of it in the next two days and save it as a snack during the New Year.

After working hard for a whole morning, Xu Han was not satisfied with the result. It was almost time for lunch, so she hurriedly started preparing lunch.

While preparing, I was thinking whether I could make some other snacks. After all, there were so many snacks in my previous life, and I didn’t believe that I could fail in making all of them.

Even if she fails the first time, maybe she will succeed after trying a few more times. After all, Xu Han is very confident in her cooking skills.

During lunch, everyone tasted the spicy noodles made by Xu Hanxin. Grandpa Zhao said, "I think the taste is pretty good, but it may be because of the gluten, the taste may not be very good."

The Taoist priest also agreed, "It tastes delicious. You can use this flavor to make some konjac. I also like this flavor."

After hearing what everyone said, Xu Han felt a little less frustrated at failing to make spicy noodles.

Hearing this, he laughed happily again and said, "When I make Konjac this year, I will research other flavors and try to make more flavors so that everyone can taste the new flavors of Konjac."
