When all the water in the pool is clear, drain out the water, take out the surface oil powder, take out the lower starch and hang it into powder weights, and place them on the drying field for exposure. When half of the water in the powder weights has evaporated, cut the powder weights into several parts and expose them to the sun.
The drying area should be located in a leeward and sunny place to prevent dust pollution.
"What the hell is this?"
Hu Xier looked confused.
Zheng Yueru also looked strange.
Liu Zheng smiled and said: "It's delicious food in this world, so don't drool when the time comes!"
Hu Xier looked in disbelief and said, "Is it just this white thing? How delicious is it!"
But everyone had nothing to do anyway and wanted to see what Liu Zheng wanted to do.
After the exposure was completed, Liu Zheng began to make a paste. Mix starch and alum with cold water, put it into a basin, then put the basin into a pot and bring it to a boil, stirring constantly. The maturity level is 90%.
And the most important step is to leak the thread.
Before leaking, you can try it first to see if the dough is suitable. If the leaked vermicelli is not thick, not thin, and continuous, it is suitable. If the noodles are broken too fast and the noodles are broken, it means that the flour slurry is too thin and dry starch should be added.
Knead again until the dough has moderate toughness; if it is difficult to follow or the speed is too slow, the thickness is uneven, and the flour slurry is too dry, you should add more wet starch. It is better to adjust the flour in one go before leaking. The temperature of the dough is at
A temperature of more than 30 degrees is best. Prepare two pots, two cold water jugs, and a colander.
When the thread leaks, stir the paste evenly and add warm water while stirring. The water temperature should be 50 degrees. When the starch ball leaves your hand, pick up a ball (handle) and let a little bit naturally fall down. If it does not continue to fall, the thread will leak.
When the thread leaks, prepare a pot of boiling water. When the water in the pot boils, the thread will leak. When the thread sinks to the bottom of the pot and resurfaces, it can be taken out of the pot. After being cooled by a cold water tank, it can be tied into bundles by hand.
Put it on the wooden stick, cool it through another cold water tank, and keep swinging it until the vermicelli is loose. Then put it indoors, and then take it out to dry the silk outside when it is cool.
The last step is to dry the silk.
"Wow, so beautiful!"
Hu Xier's eyes were bright when she saw it, and she wanted to touch it with her hands, but Liu Zheng slapped her back: "Don't move!"
that's all.
Hu Xier comes over every day to see if the sweet potato vermicelli is dry enough.
Three days later, Liu Zheng touched the fans and smiled: "Call everyone here, today I will treat you to the first bowl of hot and sour noodles from Longyan Dynasty!"
Soon, Qingyang Shuo also came, Liu Dahao also came, Zheng Yueru also came, Jiang Xuan also came, Qin Changfeng also came... As long as everyone in Yintan City, everyone
They're all here.
Liu Zheng had already prepared all the ingredients based on his memory. There were peppers, vinegar, of course, coriander, peanuts brought back from Loulan, local peppercorns, star anise...
After boiling a large pot, Liu Zheng put a handful of sweet potato vermicelli into the pot.
Everyone was amazed when they saw the sweet potato vermicelli gradually softening in the boiling water, but not breaking, like noodles, but crystal clear.
After a while, more than ten bowls of hot and sour noodles were ready.
"You, you come first..."
Liu Dahao, who had almost lost his sense of taste because of the chili pepper, never dared to be the first to try it again.
Qingyang Shuo smiled faintly, picked up a bowl, picked up a vermicelli with chopsticks, and put it into his mouth.
Others looked nervous.
Qingyang Shuo pursed his lips and tasted carefully. He felt that several flavors were mixed together in his mouth, but they were distinct. Each had its own impact. He couldn't help but his eyes lit up: "What you said is true, the delicious food in the world should be like this."
!”
"What?"
Liu Dahao picked up a bowl.
Everyone laughed and started eating.
When they first entered the mouth, there was still a spicy taste, and Hu Xier took a few mouthfuls of it, but the more they ate, the more they felt that the taste was infinitely wonderful.
Liu Zheng couldn't help but look confident: "What do you think? Can I sell it for money?"
