Chapter 972 Longevity Noodles

The custom of longevity noodles has been passed down in China for 2000 years. It can be said to be a very old tradition of the Chinese nation. However, with the invasion of Western culture recently, this traditional custom has been hit hard. .

Especially after Western cakes entered China, the custom of making a bowl of longevity noodles for the elders on their birthdays in many Chinese families has been abandoned, especially in cities, it has been completely abandoned. , replaced by cake.

Whether it is a birthday or a banquet, there is always only cake in it, and there is no one in the longevity noodles.

The invasion of Western culture is so powerful that it can be seen.

Zhao Chaogang's three uncles actually wanted to prepare a big cake for grandma, a cake as high as a floor (this nephew Zhao Chaogang spent so much money for grandma's birthday, they are grandma's) His own son, of course, has to come up with something that can be sold), but this plan was refuted by grandma and Zhao Chaogang.

Grandma refuted the suggestion of the three uncles that Chinese people have to follow the old Chinese traditions when they spend their birthdays.

Besides, grandma used to have a bowl of longevity noodles on several birthdays, and it was cooked by grandpa. Grandma wanted to relish the taste of longevity noodles, which was a kind of commemoration of the deceased grandpa.

Hearing that their old mother wanted to commemorate their dead old father, the three uncles said nothing, and even their grandson was mercilessly criticized for clamoring for cake.

During grandma's birthday, the matter of making longevity noodles was settled in this way.

The three uncles wanted to make a bowl of longevity noodles for their grandma. Unfortunately, they didn't have the skills. The three uncles couldn't even make the noodles well, let alone stretch the noodles to a length of 73 meters.So, in the end, the matter of making longevity noodles fell into the hands of Zhao Chaogang.

Making longevity noodles is easy to say, but difficult to say.

There are simple ways, and difficult ways, like the simplest way, go directly to the supermarket to buy longevity noodles, just do it as usual, but such longevity noodles seem too much easy.

A rare practice.It is to knead the noodles by yourself, roll them out, and make whistles.

If you want to make longevity noodles by yourself, you must first prepare fine flour and eggs.Salt, salad oil.Rolling dough.Soy milk, washed gauze.

After preparing these things, first put eggs, salt, and refined flour together in a certain ratio, and pour a certain amount of soy milk (water is also acceptable).Then start kneading the dough, very hard, kneading repeatedly, in this case.The longevity noodles made will be very strong.

After feeling that the dough is ready, wet the gauze that has been washed in advance in clean water, and then cover the dough with the wet gauze, which is on the top (read 'wake').

When making pasta, whether it is leavened or uncooked, as long as it is used for cooking or steaming, noodles are used.It is to put the noodles in a non-ventilated place for a while after kneading or raising the noodles, and then they can be molded.

For noodles, for the noodles that have been made, the noodles are for secondary fermentation; for dead noodles, it is to cover the noodles with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and leave them for a while, so that the gluten can better exert it and increase the toughness of the noodles. The role of the surname.The purpose is to make the steamed pasta softer, or the cooked pasta softer and more delicious.

While cooking the noodles, you can start making the whistle. The whistle of the longevity noodles should not be too fancy, especially the whistle of the longevity noodles of the elderly. It should be light, which is good for the health of the elderly.

The whistle that Zhao Chaogang made this time was just bone soup. Those thigh bones in the pork thigh, the soup made from such big bones, plus the ingredients that Zhao Chaogang took out from the martial arts secret realm, was absolutely delicious.

Now at the door of the kitchen, the grandsons of the three uncles poked their heads, their mouths were full of saliva, they were attracted by the fragrance of Zhao Chaogang's bone soup.It's a pity that this bone soup is stewed for grandma. Before grandma eats it, no one can eat it. This is an old rule left over.

After half an hour, the noodles are ready, and it's time to stretch the dough into long noodles.

However, pulling the dough into noodles requires not only good skills, but also great strength and sufficient endurance. Therefore, if you think you don’t have such skills, you should obediently roll the dough into noodles with a rolling pin.

If you don’t know how to use a rolling pin, you can still rub it with your hands. Although the finished longevity noodles don’t look good and are a bit thick, at least it’s longevity noodles made by you, your parents will never dislike you I made this bowl of longevity noodles.For your parents, your heart is the best birthday gift.

Everyone must have seen the ramen technology in the ramen shop, so I will stop talking about it here.

Half an hour later, the longevity noodles made by Zhao Chaogang were finally ready, and the longevity noodles were definitely just 73 meters long.

When Zhao Chaogang was making this longevity noodle, he had been monitoring it with his divine sense, so after Zhao Chaogang made this longevity noodle, it was exactly 73 meters long.

Although it doesn't matter if it is more or less, but if it is exactly 73 meters, isn't that a good sign!When doing things in the countryside, what you pay attention to is a good sign.

At 73 o'clock at noon, grandma's 28rd birthday banquet finally started. Zhao Chaogang prepared a total of [-] tables for this banquet. Every family in Liujiabao invited them to the banquet. This is the custom in the countryside. As long as there is any big happy event, every household in the whole village will invite it when the banquet is held, and there are so many people.

Grandma's real relatives only have eight tables. Of course, the dishes on this table are better than others. For example, the "Dragon and Phoenix Soup" made with "Banner Snake" is only available on these eight tables. The "Dragon and Phoenix Soup" on other tables is just It is made of water snakes caught by the village. Wild freshwater eels are only found on these eight tables, and the rest are farmed freshwater eels.

The other dishes are exactly the same, there is always a difference between closeness and distance.

Before grandma's birthday banquet, Zhao Chaogang and other direct blood relatives kowtowed to grandma sitting on the grand teacher's chair in the lobby of grandma's house, saying happy birthday, even Zhao Chaogang was no exception.

"Mom, I wish you a happy birthday, every year has today, and every year has today!" Zhao Qiang and his wife kowtowed to grandma first, and saluted.

"Grandma, my nephew Zhao Chaogang kowtowed to you here, I wish you a happy birthday, grandma, every year there will be today, and every year will have today!"

Zhao Chaogang kowtowed three times to his grandmother very seriously. Some people said that these blessings Zhao Chaogang said were very old-fashioned, and they were too simple, and there were no birthday gifts, which seemed too shabby. It can be said that you really watch too much TV.

When celebrating the birthday of your relatives, you directly send some very literary congratulatory speeches, not to mention whether your relatives understand them, and you are showing off your culture to others, implying that other people's culture is not as high as yours signs.

It's like Zhao Chaogang said to his grandmother a very literary and artistic words of wishing a happy birthday, did grandma understand it? !Grandma can't understand at all. Grandma has only attended the second and third grades of elementary school, and can only read words. It is really difficult for her to understand those congratulatory speeches that are very literary.

As for birthday presents, Zhao Chaogang proposed several million, or even tens of millions of birthday presents. Is it really good for grandma's birthday this time? !I can't see it all.

First of all, Zhao Chaogang's three uncles will be very embarrassed. The nephews all brought out tens of millions of birthday gifts, but the biological son has no gifts at all. Others will definitely say something behind their backs. It will freeze the relationship between Zhao Chaogang and the three uncles.

Besides, on birthdays in rural areas, you always get a red envelope, and when you arrive at your grandma’s house, you give it directly first. One hundred, one thousand, if Zhao Chaogang comes up with gifts worth tens of millions, what do you tell these relatives to think, then the atmosphere of this birthday banquet will be ruined.

Having a happy birthday is the best reward for your loved ones.

"Grandma, my niece and daughter-in-law Li Liping is here to kowtow to you. I wish grandma a happy birthday. Every year has today, every year has today!" Zhao Chaogang just started kowtow, Li Liping immediately kowtowed with Zhao Chaogang, Chao Gang is not married yet, but don't worry about it so much on this day.

"Grandma, my daughter kowtowed to you. I wish my grandma a happy birthday. Every year has today, and every year has today!"

"Okay, okay, get up, get up, Chao Gang, you have to treat Pingping well in the future, you know, otherwise it's up to me to deal with you."

Grandma woke up Zhao Chaogang's family with a smile on her face. She was very satisfied with Li Liping, the niece and grandma.

"Grandma, there is still a gift for my grandma. Grandma, today is your birthday. Sing a happy birthday song to my grandma, okay?"

As soon as grandma let Zhao Chaogang's family get up, Nannan came to grandma's side, and said to grandma like offering a treasure.

"Okay, okay, my grandma sang a birthday song to my grandma. Of course my grandma likes to listen to it. My grandma is really a caring padded jacket for my grandma!" Hearing that my grandma wanted to sing happy birthday to me, my grandma smiled bloomed.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."

Soon, a happy birthday song full of children's voices rang in the lobby, and it didn't disperse for a long time... . )
