Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other before retracting their little hands.

He had to borrow an oxcart to do this, so he didn't have to pick anything. Xue Sihu not only bought one hundred catties of early rice, but also bought two hundred catties of early rice from the rice shop.

I also spent a few hundred coins to buy a medium-sized stone mill.

In fact, there is a stone grinder in the village, which is located at the village chief's house. Anyone who wants to use it can grind it. However, Xue Sihu feels that this is very inconvenient. In addition, he thinks that this business can definitely be long-term, and it is not easy to go to the village all the time.

The elder wanted to grind rice flour, so he discussed it with Xue Erhu in the town, and without waiting to come back to ask, he bought a stone mill in the town and asked an ox cart to pull it back.

Although there was an ox cart, it was still dark when Xue Sihu and Xue Erhu came back.

The next day, before dawn, I soaked thirty or forty kilograms of early rice, fearing that I would soak too much and not be able to finish so much in a busy day.

The stone mill has also been cleaned.

You can let the oxen pull the stone mill, but the space in your yard is too small and the oxen can't turn around in it. Forget it, you can only use human power to push the stone mill.

The rice is soaked until it turns into powder when gently pinched with your fingers. This is considered to be soaked.

This not only makes grinding less laborious, but also makes the powder that is ground very fine. If you use dry rice directly, there will definitely be coarse grains, and you have to grind it several times.

After the rice is soaked, it needs to be drained.

After it was drained, it was placed in the hole on the stone mill, and people began to push the stone mill to rotate and grind.

After grinding it, add water and mix it into rice slurry. The consistency is still enough to make rice noodles. Then, drain the thread. Then, take out the cooked rice noodles and put them in cold water. Finally, hang them on a bamboo pole to dry.

Because I wasn’t sure how many days the dried rice noodles could be stored, I didn’t dare to make more, so I made more than fifty kilograms of rice in total.

Leave the remaining early rice there so you can cook it later.

After all the rice noodles were dried, I went to the village chief's house to get a scale and weighed them, and found that they weighed fifty-seven kilograms.

Jiang Yue thinks it's about the same. Generally speaking, one pound of rice can make about one pound of dry rice noodles. It depends on your ratio of water to rice. If it's particularly dry in the sun, the water content will be less, and it may be a little bit dry.

A pound of rice can only make one pound of dry rice noodles.

One pound of dry rice noodles can make several bowls of rice noodles.

Of course, it still depends on the size of the bowl.

If there are a lot of side dishes, there is no need to add so many rice noodles to one bowl, and one pound of dry rice noodles can make more bowls.

Anyway, these fifty-seven pounds of dry rice noodles can make a lot of bowls.

It only took four days to produce fifty-seven kilograms of dry rice noodles. Xue Sihu and Liu Guixia were very happy and prepared to go to town to sell rice noodles.

However, because Xue Yihu was free to make a wooden cart for oxen yesterday, the wooden cart is expected to be finished at noon today, so naturally he will not be able to go to town to do business today.

Before noon, Xue Wuhu was already impatient to fetch the family's big ox from the cowshed and tie it to the tree at the entrance of the yard.

Just wait to put it on the wooden cart and see.

The cow was herded by Xue Yan and Jiang Yue in the morning. The cow had just come back from grazing and its belly was bulging.

"Brother, are you okay? Are you okay?" Xue Wuhu couldn't help but ask.

"It's almost done, it's almost done, just put these two wheels on." Xue Yihu smiled very honestly and honestly, bending over and burying his head, but his hands kept moving, but anyone could see it.

How happy he is.

The more things he can make, the happier he will be.

I feel more useful.

You can also do more for this family.
