Chapter 181: Secretly kissing Xiaoye and being broken by the mother-in-law (page 12)
Compared to rice, Xiang Yunduan still prefers pasta, whether before or after time travel.
In addition, when she was at home, Liang Honghua often made some pasta from her hometown in Qin Province. It can be said that her appetite for noodles has been developed.
But what makes him more uncomfortable is that since he went to work in the city, he has eaten noodles very rarely.
Mainly because the canteen in the factory doesn't make noodles at all.
In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that compared to steaming rice, making noodles is obviously much more labor-intensive. Just kneading the noodles alone can be tiring, let alone rolling and cutting the noodles later.
There were only so many people in the cafeteria, so it was too busy.
Not to mention noodles, the canteens in factories generally don’t make dumplings and steamed buns. Basically, they only make steamed buns and steamed buns.
This is not only the case in slaughterhouses, but also in canteens of almost all factories, universities, institutions, etc.
That is to say, some units with a relatively small number of people may occasionally cook a meal of pasta.
Tao Xiaomin's expression became pensive as he listened.
If the noodle press can be built, it will definitely solve the problem of eating noodles for the masses.
It should be said that once this thing is made, there is no need to worry about not being able to sell it. There is market demand. After all, there are too many units that eat canteens. Even in the south, although they eat less noodles, they don’t eat them at all. Occasionally, they eat them. Ordering noodles is a novelty.
The big one is suitable for use in large canteens like factories. It has a mixing bucket. When using it, directly add flour and water into it according to the proportion, and then turn on the electricity to directly mix the flour into a suitable dough, and then use The dough is pressed into dough sheets by a machine, and finally cut into noodles with a special noodle cutter.
No, after chatting with Tao Xiaomin, a mechanical expert, for a while, Xiang Yunduan thought of the dough press.
"Yes, I envision two types of dough presses, one large and one small, one manual and one electric.
Because Xiang Yunduan is not just a wild imagination, but is well-founded. Not only that, Xiang Yunduan also described in detail what this so-called dough press should look like.
Moreover, the noodle cutting knife can also be set to different widths. If you want to eat wide noodles, you can eat wide noodles, if you want to eat thin noodles, you can eat thin noodles, which is very convenient! "
Machines such as washing machines, refrigerators, air conditioners, etc. are available in foreign countries, and everyone is focused on imitating them. But for dough presses, which are also in large-scale demand in daily life in China, no one pays attention to them.
"Noodle press? You said you thought of a machine that can help chefs specialize in making noodles?"
And because noodles can be dried and stored, you can use your free time to make the noodles and dry them in the sun. You can cook them directly when eating, which is very convenient.
If this picture were shown to ordinary people, of course it would only be entertaining, but in the eyes of Tao Xiaomin, a mechanical expert, it would be completely different.
It’s just that no one has thought of this idea before.
The small ones are mainly used by families or state-owned restaurants. They do not require stirring and you have to mix the dough yourself. The noodle press is only responsible for pressing and cutting the noodles.
Of course, he could only draw a general appearance, as well as several more important parts of the dough press. As for the specific parameters, he naturally didn't understand.
The main reason is that foreigners don't eat noodles very much and don't have this demand. In China, they mainly imitate various foreign machines, and people don't have many innovative ideas.
"Actually, this dough pressing machine can not only press dough, but can also be used when making steamed buns. Just stack the thin dough sheets together, and then directly cut them into square steamed buns with a knife. Steam it directly in the pot. Not only will it not fall apart after it comes out, but it will also have layers inside!" Xiang Yunduan added.
Xiang Yunduan said, describing it to his uncle, which seemed a bit unsatisfactory, and then asked Tao Xiao who was next to him to get paper and pen, and directly drew the kind of dough press he had seen in later generations. , not too advanced, just the kind that was very popular in the 1990s.
In fact, this thing, to put it bluntly, does not have much technical content. It is mainly a question of thinking. It is not difficult to make it with the current domestic technical level.
Originally, what he was thinking was that this would-be brother-in-law, a police officer, could know something about mechanics, but after Xiang Yunduan explained his idea, he immediately became interested.
When Xiang Yunduan wants to eat noodles, he has to do it himself, which is very troublesome.
Next to him, Tao Xiaomin was already studying the picture he had drawn casually, and from time to time he was still calculating something on it with a pen.
"Xiaoye, brother, what's going on?"
When Xiang Yunduan saw what he was saying, Tao Xiaomin seemed not to hear him and ignored him, which made him a little confused.
"Hmph, who told you to say this? Can't you just sit down and talk about home affairs?
My eldest brother is all about machinery. He is usually either in the workshop or in the library. Apart from studying mechanical knowledge every day, he has no other hobbies at all.
Originally, I came back early today, so it’s rare to see me. It’s better for you. Isn’t this just looking for trouble? "Tao Xiaoye said angrily.
She knew this eldest brother very well. Looking at the situation at this moment, she probably wouldn't eat dinner.
"Ah? Is eldest brother so eager to learn? Blame me. It's my first time to meet eldest brother. I don't know the situation!" Xiang Yunduan said with an embarrassed look.
"I think you're doing it on purpose. Tell me about you. You talk about music with my sister and machines with my brother. How can you be so good at it? I'm your partner. Why don't you talk to me about being a reporter? ?" Tao Xiaoye became more and more angry.
Xiang Yunduan was stunned for a moment, but he responded quickly: "Xiao Ye, you are wrong, aren't I just trying to make things smooth for both of us?
Oh, I made my sister-in-law and uncle-in-law happy, but did I do it wrong?
Besides, who said I didn't chat with you? When we first met, didn't you write a report on the housing crisis? I had some credit for that report, right?
Moreover, do you think this couple often talks about work? When we are together, don’t we always talk about other things? I remember you were very happy!
When we first met, you were so shy, but now I feel like you can talk better than me! "
At first, Tao Xiaoye seemed to understand the truth, but after listening to it, his face turned red. He glanced at Tao Xiaomin, who was lying on the table and working hard, and saw that he didn't notice Xiang Yunduan's words at all. He breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his fist and hit Xiang Yunduan several times.
Xiang Yunduan couldn't let go of this good opportunity. He grabbed Tao Xiaoye's small fist with his big hand, gently brought it into his arms, and then lowered his head and kissed it without saying a word.
"Ugh~oooo!"
Tao Xiao also didn't expect Xiang Yunduan to be so courageous that he dared to touch her home, and his elder brother was sitting next to him.
Xiang Yunduan is not a simple person. Not long after they have been together, their relationship has become very close. It goes without saying that kissing is a matter of course, but before, it was done secretly and only when no one was around. This kind of thing This is the first time this has happened.
