"Soak the drumsticks in water for an hour, soak them until the residual blood is gone, then remove the bones and cut them into small pieces. Soak the dried shiitake mushrooms in warm water, remove the stalks and cut them into small pieces …"
Li Yi flipped through a book called "The Complete Collection of Pasta Foods" in his mind and began to prepare the ingredients for the mushroom stewed chicken noodles.
It wasn't that he didn't want to make something more delicious, but the ingredients in the kitchen were pitifully few. Other than a small bag of flour, the only thing Li Yi could find were a few dried mushrooms in the corner.
The flour was also very different from what he saw in the future. It was far from being as fine, and there was a lot of bran in it, so the taste was very bad. Li Yi had already experienced this when he was eating in the morning.
However, from a nutritional point of view, eating this kind of coarse grain was really good for the body. Of course, more importantly, he couldn't find a better flour substitute.
The useless provincial library in his mind finally played its role. Li Yi easily found a book called "The Complete Collection of Pasta Foods" in the recipe area.
What he was going to make now was mushroom stewed chicken noodles.
Mushroom stewed chicken noodles had the effect of nourishing the spleen, and was very good for the human body. Li Yi chose this kind of noodles, of course … it was only because he couldn't find any other ingredients other than shiitake mushrooms and flour.
A book that only Li Yi could see floated in front of him. He tore off two drumsticks and processed them according to the steps in the book. After the shiitake mushrooms were diced, he began to knead the noodles.
Xiao Huan had long been chased out of the kitchen by him. After eating the noodles she made for lunch, Li Yi decided that he wouldn't let her interfere in anything other than cooking porridge.
Kneading noodles was actually a technical job.
The noodles had to be chewy to taste good. First, he had to choose a good flour. Of course … this could be ignored for the time being.
When kneading the noodles, the amount of water added, the quality of salt, the strength and technique of kneading all affected the taste of the noodles. In terms of salt, Li Yi did not have any requirements. Even flour was like this. What kind of good salt could there be in this world …
As for the other technical aspects, it was not difficult at all. As long as he had seen the content, it would be firmly engraved in his mind. His hands were also like gods helping him … Outside the kitchen, the little servant girl stood on a stool and looked through the window at her son-in-law's skilled kneading skills. Her beautiful big eyes could not help but widen.
This son-in-law seemed to be different from the scholar she had imagined.
The cooking method of stewed chicken noodles with mushrooms was really simple. There was a small vegetable garden in front of the kitchen. Li Yi found some lettuce in the vegetable garden. After taking it out of the pot, he sprinkled a handful of chopped green onions on it. A rich fragrance wafted over.
Although the ingredients were limited, Li Yi was very satisfied with his work.
Because it was his first time making it, Li Yi was worried about wasting food, so he only tried to make one person's portion. He fetched some water from the water tank and washed his hands. Just when he was about to taste the long-lost taste, he turned around and saw the empty stove. Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and his expression changed!
"F * ck, where's my noodles!"
A scream suddenly sounded in the kitchen.
…
…
At night, the second aunt was calling the only hen in the house that laid eggs affectionately. Not long after, the affectionate call turned into vicious curses.
"Which d * mn person stole my chicken!"
"Don't let me catch you. If I catch you, I'll break your legs!"
"F * ck …"
Li Yi stood at the door and looked at the woman who was standing in front of the door with her hands on her hips. She was cursing because she had lost the chicken. Thinking of the bowl of noodles that he had mysteriously lost, he shook his head and a deeply sympathetic expression appeared on his face. He closed the door and walked back into the house.
It was a rare time for dinner, and only good food could not be wasted. Li Yi did not want to listen to the shrew's curses while eating.
Liu Ruyi sat opposite Li Yi, and a strange expression appeared on her beautiful face.
The noodles were chewy, the meat was fresh and tender, and the taste of the soup was also excellent. In reality, when she first saw the dinner, Liu Ruyi had some doubts in her heart. Today's dinner did not seem to be made by Xiao Huan.
Not only was the fragrance rich, the bowl was not as plain as before. There was red and green, and it greatly increased one's appetite. What made her feel even more strange was that it was not New Year's or any other festival, but there was actually some meat in the bowl.
After tasting a small bite, Liu Ruyi's beautiful eyes slightly brightened. She looked at the young servant girl and asked, "Xiao Huan, did you make tonight's dinner?"
The young servant girl was immersed in the most delicious noodles she had ever eaten in her life. Hearing this, she suddenly raised her head and said, "No, it was the son-in-law …"
After saying this, she remembered that she had promised the son-in-law not to tell the young miss about this matter. Her little face changed slightly, and when she raised her head, she saw an extremely astonished expression on the young miss's face.
"Cough, cough …" Li Yi coughed dryly and glared at the young servant girl without a trace. He said, "I have lived alone in the past, I am already used to these things."
The strange expression on Liu Ruyi's face was still there. It was obvious that she had not digested this matter. Her eyes glanced at the piece of meat in the bowl. "This meat …"
"Pheasant chicken, picked up on the road …"
…
…
After a long time, Liu Ruyi nodded and said softly, "Hubby is a scholar, these vulgar things, in the future … it is better to let Xiao Huan do it."
Li Yi glanced at Xiao Huan. The young servant girl mischievously stuck out her tongue and quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at him.
A fifteen or sixteen year old young girl was at the age of innocence. She seemed to have discovered that her son-in-law was different from the men outside, and the young servant girl gradually became more open in front of him.
Beside Li Yi, Liu Ruyi, who had been silent all this time, occasionally looked at him with a gaze as if she had discovered a new continent. She would unconsciously lick her lips from time to time, as if recalling something …
After the meal, when Xiao Huan went to wash the dishes, Liu Ruyi seemed to have thought of something and said, "Oh yes, the school in the stronghold will reopen tomorrow, hubby needs to make some preparations in advance."
Hearing this, Li Yi nodded but did not take it to heart. Wasn't it just a group of naughty children? Tomorrow, he would find a few books and teach them a few sentences. Then, he would make them shake their heads and memorize. If they could not memorize, they would not be allowed to go home for dinner. Was this how the ancient school looked like?
Dealing with a few naughty children, Li Yi did not have any psychological burden at all. After waking up, before he had time to eat breakfast, Xiao Huan came to inform him that it was time to go to school …
Li Yi still felt that something like a school should not appear in a bandit stronghold. Xiao Huan led him through half the stronghold before stopping in front of a house that looked slightly more spacious than the others.
Before he walked into the house, he heard a loud noise coming from inside, mixed with the laughter of naughty children. The moment Li Yi walked in, the atmosphere suddenly stopped, and the surroundings became quiet.
Clear eyes with dirty faces and curious eyes looked at him from top to bottom. Many of them seemed to be scrutinizing him.
After a few seconds of silence...
"Are you Sister Ruyi's husband?"
Before Li Yi could speak, a childish voice filled with dissatisfaction came from the side.
