Chapter 56
After much hesitation, the dog still stuffed the nest head into his mouth.
Seeing that the little guy's little face was still wrinkled, Nanzhi asked expectantly: "Is it delicious?"
"Okay, it's delicious." The dog smacked his mouth. The chestnut noodles were a little sweet, but looked a bit ugly. Then he said, "Mommy, the chestnut noodles are delicious, but they are delicious." It’s so ugly.”
"This kid." Nanzhi smiled and patted his little butt. She watched the dog take a nest and run away laughing, and then a smile appeared on her face.
After putting three steamed buns in the kitchen, I took the plate to Aunt Liu's house.
"Auntie, auntie, are you at home?" Nanzhi just patted her twice when she saw the door in front of her being opened with a squeak.
It was Wan who opened the door. When she saw Nanzhi carrying something, she quickly got out of the way: "Sister Nanzhi, come in quickly."
"Eh."
Nanzhi smiled at Mrs. Wan and entered the courtyard with the steamed bun in hand.
There were a lot of wood and mud bricks piled in the yard, and the Shen family sat and ate in the shed they had built.
Aunt Liu saw Nanzhi coming and hurriedly took care of her: "Girl, come here quickly. Have you had lunch? Come and sit down. The sun is shining brightly today."
"I've eaten." Nanzhi looked a little embarrassed looking at the big family, and just passed the plate in his hand forward: "This is the chestnut noodle nest I made myself, and I wanted to give it to you. Bring some here and try it.”
The dishes on the plate all have different shapes. Although they are a bit ugly, they still smell a little sweet.
Aunt Liu took the plate from Nanzhi's hand and asked, "Lizi noodles? What kind of noodles are chestnut noodles?"
"It's chestnut noodles. I'm thinking that flour is made from wheat. Every time I eat some chestnuts, I have to peel them for a long time. If the chestnuts can be ground into flour and easy to store, it will be more convenient to eat."
After hearing what Nanzhi said, Aunt Liu and the rest of the family looked at each other. There were still more than three hundred kilograms of chestnuts in their cellar. If they could all be ground into flour...
"Girl, did you grind the chestnuts into flour yourself?" Aunt Liu's eyes widened. There was a stone mill on the dam at the entrance of the village, but the mill had to be pulled by a donkey. This girl Lin How can you push when you are so thin?
Nanzhi was a little confused and just nodded.
"Girl, how did you push that stone mill?" Shen Dazhu also felt strange. If he had been able to push the stone mill twenty years earlier, he would have been afraid of losing it if he was asked to do so now. skeleton.
Nanzhi blinked and realized what they were talking about, "I have a small mill at home and didn't go to the entrance of the village."
"Girl, how much powder can you produce from this pound of chestnuts?"
What Shen Dazhu is most concerned about is the amount of flour produced. If there is a lot of flour produced, he might as well just grind all the chestnuts at home into powder. But if the flour produced is small, it is easier to feel full by eating chestnuts directly.
One pound of wheat can produce more than seventy ounces of flour.
Nanzhi hesitated for a while before saying, "It's my first time trying it, and it looks like it's four ounces per pound."
The Shen family were a little disappointed when they heard that a pound of chestnuts could only produce four taels of flour. After all, the amount of flour produced was too low.
"Girl, let me ask you a question, how do you sharpen it?"
Nanzhi thought for a while and then said: "I cooked it first and then ground it into a paste. Then I dried the chestnut paste and then ground it."
After listening to Nanzhi's method, Aunt Liu was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Silly boy, where can I put the chestnuts after they are cooked and ground into powder? If you want to grind them into powder, just remove the shells and dry the chestnuts and grind them directly."
"Really?" Nanzhi was stunned for a while. Yes, she knew that the wheat flour was ground raw, so why did she cook the chestnuts herself?
Nanzhi returned home after taking the empty plate.
There are still a few kilograms of chestnut noodles at home. It seems that this is all that I and the dog can eat these days.
Aunt Liu had an idea in her mind.
Because Lin Yatou doesn't know how to grind it, she doesn't produce a lot of flour. She still has more than three hundred kilograms of chestnuts at home, so she can try out ten kilograms.
She made up her mind and peeled chestnuts while the three Shen brothers and Shen Dazhu were repairing the house in the afternoon.
Shen Dazhu looked at his wife who was busy peeling chestnuts and asked, "What are you doing? Are you eating boiled chestnuts at home at night?"
"I want to try to see if I can grind chestnut flour." Aunt Liu didn't even raise her head, just concentrating on peeling chestnut shells.
"The amount of powder produced is too low. It's better to just eat chestnuts to fill your stomach." Shen Dazhu said while directing his sons to go up the beam.
"You also ate the chestnut noodle dough. It's not very fragrant. I'd say it's better than the black noodle dough. It also has a bit of sweetness. My little grandson loves it."
As Aunt Liu spoke, Doudou and Niuniu, who were squatting next to her and playing in the mud, nodded and shouted, "The nest is delicious and sweet!"
Mrs. Wan looked at her children and said with a smile: "Do you still want your teeth?"
Duoduo from Xiao Liu's family smiled and pointed to her teeth: "Auntie, Duoduo has good teeth."
Mrs. Wan and Mrs. Xiao Liu were stunned and laughed: "Yes, Duoduo has good teeth. Duoduo can eat two more."
The dog went to Aunt Liu's house to play all afternoon. When it was time for dinner, he came home and saw potato soup and chestnut noodles on the table. He was dumbfounded.
"Auntie, the dog doesn't want to eat this today."
The little guy pointed at the nest on the table and complained with his eyes.
Nanzhi coughed softly. She indeed forgot to add black noodles when cooking at night. For some reason, the color of the wowo made tonight was darker.
It’s no wonder that the dog doesn’t think it looks good, it’s just that she wants to add a layer of mosaic to it after looking at it.
"It just doesn't look good, but it tastes delicious, right?" Nanzhi took a bite of a steamed bun as he spoke.
Seeing his mother immersed in eating, the dog also reached for a wotou and started eating potato soup. His little face was full of joy, but there was no look of disgust just now.
Nanzhi glanced at the dog's movements out of the corner of his eye and felt warm in his heart.
The dog was in a bad temper and refused to eat the ugly chestnut noodles. It was just a child's coquettishness.
After dinner, the dog touched his round belly, leaned next to Nanzhi and asked: "Mom, why don't you spank me?"
Nanzhi was stunned and turned around with a strange look on his face. Why is this child so stupid?
Other people's children are thinking about how to avoid being spanked, so why is the dog still looking forward to being spanked?
"You didn't do anything wrong, why did I spank you?"
"I told Brother Doudou that the chestnut noodles don't look good. Brother Doudou said that he used to say that the food cooked by Aunt Wan was unpalatable, so Aunt Wan spanked him." Gou'er looked at Nanzhi and clapped his fingers. Said the head.
"Because the dog didn't say it tasted bad, you just said the chestnut noodle bunwo didn't look good."
The dog scratched his little head. Is there any difference between something that tastes bad and something that doesn’t look good?
Seeing Gou'er's doubts, Nanzhi said with a smile: "Because Aniang also knows that chestnut-faced nests are not good-looking. Gou'er is telling the truth."
The dog nodded in understanding.
"But sometimes you can't just tell the truth."
"why?"
Nanzhi said seriously: "Because others will spank you."

(I searched on Baidu about grinding chestnuts into flour. There is no specific explanation, but some people say that grinding cooked chestnuts into powder is not easy to store. If you have any questions, please point it out.)
