Chapter 374 Fried Noodles
"We won't bother you today. We'll visit you after we've packed up." Grandma Jiang is a very kind old lady.
The two of them saw that they had almost finished packing, so they said goodbye and went home.
Ye Qing didn't let Grandma Jiang stand up to see him off, and the two of them walked home along the path.
It was still early when the two got home. They watched Zheng Qin making a small quilt and helped her decide what pattern to make.
When Zhou arrived home, what she saw was this heartwarming scene: her daughter and daughter-in-law were talking together, and the family was living in harmony.
"Second brother, how are you feeling these past two days? It's been very hot these past two days in autumn. Don't go out when the sun is strong."
"I don't go out. I make clothes for my child at home. I have made a lot in the past two days. It should be enough for him to wear." Zheng Qin basically does nothing at home except making clothes for her unborn child.
"Mom, where have you been?" Ye Qing looked at her holding a piece of tofu in her hand.
"I went to your aunt's house. Your two cousins were going to study at Bailu Academy. Your aunt asked me to help see if there was anything they should take." Zhou put the tofu in the kitchen.
"Bring more money and buy whatever you need." Ye Qing felt that no matter how well prepared one was, there would still be things one forgot.
Li came out of the house and asked, "When are they going to leave?"
"Not sure yet, but it won't take too long. They sent a letter to Wu Lang to inquire about the enrollment situation of Bailu Academy. I will go there after receiving a reply."
Li thought about her other two grandchildren and said, "I'll go to the second and third grandchildren's homes. They have no experience and it will be inconvenient if I don't take care of them enough."
Zhou stood up and prepared to walk her over, but Li refused. It was only two steps away, how could she get lost?
Zhou got up and went to the warehouse to see if there was anything suitable for her youngest son to take home.
They were tired from studying in the provincial capital, but were reluctant to spend money, so their family would bring them food from time to time.
Ye Qing gave Zhou some advice, "Give them a few pounds of dried meat. It tastes good, can be stored, and is nutritious."
Zhou looked around but couldn't find anything suitable. They all ate at the academy and could only bring cooked food.
Ye Qing saw that Zhou was still looking for things to take with her, and helped her think of something that could be stored for a long time and didn't take up much space.
Zheng Qin also helped to think about it, but there were not many things that met this requirement.
After thinking for a while, Zheng Qin touched her stomach and felt a little hungry, so she wanted to eat fried noodles.
Zheng Qin asked Zhou in a hoarse voice, "Mom, do you still have fried noodles at home?"
"No more. They were fried on June 6th. It's been a long time since then. We've eaten them long ago." Master Zhou's mind was still on his youngest son.
"Sister-in-law, if you want to eat fried noodles, ask Nanny Wang to make some for you. It's not a big deal."
Ye Qing doesn't like fried noodles because he thinks they have no taste, so he always puts a lot of sugar in them.
Their village has the custom of frying fried noodles on June 6th. The noodles must be fried before the sun rises. Eating fried noodles can prevent diarrhea in summer.
This fried noodles is easy to make, just fry the flour over low heat.
Ye Qing paused while looking for something. Aren’t fried noodles something that can be stored for a long time?
Fried noodles alone have little nutritional value, but in later generations, walnuts were added to nourish the brain and sesame seeds were added to nourish the hair.
All of these are needed by my brothers. When they are hungry at night, they can just drink them with hot water.
Ye Qing returned to the warehouse and first looked at what was at home.
Sesame seeds, peanuts, black beans, soybeans, walnuts, and black rice are all available at home.
Ye Qing went to find Zhou and told her his thoughts.
"Mom, grind several kinds of grains into powder, stir-fry them and put them together. When my brother is hungry, he can eat fried noodles. It's very convenient."
Zhou thought about her daughter's suggestion carefully and thought it was a good idea. It was all food and would not do any harm to the body.
The mothers got to work as soon as they said it. They first took out the grains and washed them.
After drying, grind it into powder. There are many people in the family, so there are many materials to prepare.
Seeing that there were some red beans at home, Ye Qing prepared some and planned to make a combination of red beans and red dates.
Nanny Wang also followed their lead. She was good at making food for women and offered some suggestions. Ye Qing also added some other things to the red bean powder.
Shen and Wei heard about it and came to help. They also planned to bring some for the children so that they could eat in the morning or in the evening.
Several people became interested, and Zhou even went out to buy a lot of walnuts.
Their family doesn't grow walnuts. The walnuts in their home were picked up in the mountains.
Zhou didn't feel bad about feeding the food to her own child. She even consulted Dr. Lin and asked him to add some things that were beneficial to the body.
After everything was ground into powder, Ye Qing helped to light the fire while Nanny Wang was in charge of frying.
They didn't fry it in the kitchen, but slowly cooked it on the stove in the yard.
After a while, the aroma of grain filled the yard.
Li came over from the backyard and the water on the stove was boiling.
After the first pot of fried noodles came out, I made a bowl of noodles for Li with hot water.
Ye Qing was worried that it would have no taste, so he added some sugar to it.
Li held the bowl, leaned over to smell it, and the porridge in the bowl smelled delicious.
"Qingya, this bowl is much more delicious than fried noodles."
"It has the aroma of milk, sesame and peanuts. Try it when it's cool. If you like it, we'll make more and have a bowl every morning." Ye Qing put the fried noodles with various ingredients into the jar.
Nanny Wang waited for Ye Qing to take the jar away and continued to fry the second pot.
Zheng Qin saw how happily Li was eating and quickly made a bowl for herself.
After she became pregnant, she wanted to eat everything, and if she couldn't eat, she couldn't sleep at night.
Zheng Qin made her own bowl of soup, looked at the busy crowd, and helped them make a few more bowls.
Erbao ran in from outside, "Auntie, what smells so good?"
There was powder on Ye Qing's hands, so it was difficult for him to hold the second baby.
"It's sesame paste. Would you like some?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Erbao agreed and slurped his saliva.
"Erbao, come here, your aunt is busy. I'll make you a bowl of soup." Zheng Qin waved at Erbao.
Erbao ran over happily and watched Zheng Qin make porridge for him.
"Auntie, add more sugar." Erbao secretly glanced at Wei Xin and pleaded in a low voice.
Wei Xin had been keeping an eye on his son, but thinking that he hadn't had any candy in the past two days, he pretended not to see it.
Erbao actually thought his mother didn't notice and kept showing his affection to Zheng Qin.
Zheng Qin liked Erbao in the first place, so she went back to the room, got him some cakes, and coaxed him to eat.
After the second pot is cooked, the temperature of the paste in the bowl is also right.
Several people who were working stopped what they were doing and drank the porridge in their bowls first.
"This is really delicious. My stomach feels warm after drinking it." Zhou used to not eat on time, and now she often feels uncomfortable in her stomach.
Ye Qing took a sip and found it worthy of being the food grown by his own family, and fried on a wood stove. It tasted delicious.
"Mom, what do you think of this?" Ye Qing looked at Zhou.
Zhou's face was full of smiles. "I think it's OK. After all, grains are good for health."
No one else had any objections, and the family started to get busy again.
There are several children in the city, and if each of them gets some, a lot of preparation will have to be made.
