Chapter 327: Instant Noodles
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Rong Yan did not decline. After all, almost no one could reject Xiaoxiao’s delicacies, and he was really hungry.
Rong Yan sighed in satisfaction when the soft and sweet food entered his mouth. Xiaoxiao said, “I also brought some seeds. I’ll find a place to plant them tomorrow and see if I can plant them successfully. One more crop, one more chance of survival.”
The border area was desolate. There were only a few lands that could be farmed. Not to mention food, vegetables, and vegetables, even wild vegetables and weeds were very rare.
Rong Yan couldn’t bear to dampen her spirits, but he couldn’t bear for her to hit the wall, so he told Xiaoxiao everything he knew. As he spoke, he suddenly felt drowsy. He wanted to force himself to stay awake, but Xiaoxiao put a thin blanket on his shoulder. “Sleep for a while. I’ll wake you up in an hour.”
Rong Yan glanced at the documents piled up on the table. After some thought, he nodded.
He was indeed too sleepy. It would probably be a bad thing to deal with work in this state.
“What about you?”
Xiaoxiao walked out of the door. “I still have some things to pack.”
Rong Yan thought that she was going back. Although he was reluctant, he understood that it was not appropriate for her to wait for him while he slept, so he wanted Yun Er to send her off. Xiaoxiao chuckled. “I’m so familiar with them. Do I need you to take care of me? I’ll go find them myself. Go to sleep. Oh, right, I can use your small kitchen, right?”
When she turned around, she saw that he was already lying on the table, his breathing steady.
Hehe, the calming tea given by Doctor Gongsun was really useful.
Xiaoxiao walked out of the door and gestured for Yun Er, who was about to speak, to keep quiet. She said softly, “Little Big Brother is asleep. Don’t let anyone disturb him. I told him I’ll wake him up in an hour. Brother Yun Er, Brother Yun San, can the two of you help me bring the indigo and yellow bag and oven in my house? Brother Yun San knows where the things are.”
Yun Er turned to look at his brother and realized that he actually swallowed his saliva! Could it be! Could it be!
The two of them walked quickly, while Xiaoxiao simply found a place to sit down on the porch.
The night sky at the border was especially clean. The starlight and moonlight competed for brilliance and reflected each other. It was actually beautiful scenery. How good would it be if there was no war under this scenery?
Yun Er and Yun San returned very quickly. Xiaoxiao asked the two of them to find someone to put the oven and kitchen utensils in the small kitchen while she started to sort the seeds in the corridor where the night wind blew.
Of course, she knew what could be planted and what could not be planted. However, in order to keep a low profile, she still brought a few more wrong choices. She originally planned to put on an act to lower the success rate. After Rong Yan said that just now, she saved a lot of trouble.
She paid attention to the movements in the space at all times. When Rong Yan was about to wake up, she opened the yellow bag and took out an oil paper bag. Yun San’s eyes lit up and she quickly prepared the bowls and chopsticks. The hot water on the small stove was also in place.
Seeing this, Xiaoxiao simply took a few more noodle cakes and asked Yun San to find a big iron pot. She placed the noodle cakes, dehydrated vegetables, dried meat, and the seasonings she had prepared. Finally, she poured the freshly boiled water in.
Yun Er, who had seen this scene for the first time, was confused. He really couldn’t figure out why Miss Ning soaked the noodle cake in water. However, looking at his brother’s greedy expression, he could conclude that it was delicious food!
As expected, not long after, a rich fragrance floated out of the iron pot. Yun Er quickly wanted to lift the lid to investigate, but she was stopped by Yun San with a serious expression. “Miss Xiaoxiao said that you have to count to 180 before you can open it.”
Yun Er was speechless.
When they counted to 150, the sleeping Rong Yan’s body swayed slightly. His first reaction when he opened his eyes was to look at the hourglass.
He felt energetic now, as if he had slept for a few days and nights. However, if there was nothing wrong with the hourglass, it had not even been an hour.
The door opened and Xiaoxiao asked with a smile, “You’re awake? Are you hungry?”
Rong Yan wanted to say that it had only been a short while, and the snacks he had just eaten must not have been digested. How could he be hungry? However, his stomach strangely started growling.
Rong Yan was extremely shocked for a moment. Could he eat so much?
Thinking that it might be because he had been hungry for a long time or that the smell coming from outside was too fragrant, Rong Yan blushed and replied, “Yes.”
Xiaoxiao blinked. “Come, let me give you a surprise.”
Rong Yan knew that Xiaoxiao had created new delicacies. When he came out, Yun Er and the others had already set up tables, chairs, and cutlery in the courtyard. There was a big pot in the middle of the table. Rong Yan looked at the small stove at the side in surprise, wondering how such a small stove could hit up such a big pot.
Yun San exclaimed, “180!” As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately lifted the lid of the pot and started stirring with chopsticks. As he moved, the strong fragrance in the pot dissipated. Rong Yan was even more surprised. “Chicken soup?” But where did the chicken come from?
Rong Yan took the bowl and tasted it. He was sure that this was indeed chicken soup. This made him, who still had pillow marks on his face, reveal a stunned expression that reflected his exact age.
Xiaoxiao felt that it was fun, so she deliberately teased him. “It’s not just chicken soup. There’s also pork bone, beef bone, spicy, fresh, and fragrant. There’s anything you want to eat.”
Rong Yan couldn’t help but look into the pot and confirm that there were only noodles and vegetables inside. What exactly…
Yun Er, who couldn’t hold it in anymore, immediately raised his hand. “Master, what’s even more amazing is that Miss Ning didn’t make soup at all just now. There’s no need to cook the noodles. I watched her put the things into the pot and boil the water to soak them. Yun San counted to 180 and the noodles were actually ready!”
Rong Yan knew that Yun Er would not lie, so he felt even more amazed. He had never heard of any noodles that could be soaked with boiling water. He looked at Xiaoxiao for confirmation, and she chuckled. “I’m awesome, right? Try it!”
Just as they were waiting for this sentence, the three of them put the slightly curly noodles into their mouths almost at the same time. Unexpectedly, the noodles that were only soaked in water were abnormally strong. Their taste was actually different from ordinary noodles.
The rich smell of chicken soup made them look into the pot a few more times curiously. The dehydrated vegetables had completely relaxed after being soaked in boiling water. When they closed their eyes, they felt as if they had returned to the Imperial Capital and were eating their signature Eight Immortals Noodles in the largest restaurant in the city.
“In my opinion, the food of the Tasty Restaurant is nothing compared to your culinary skills!”
“That’s right! Who would have thought that there would be noodles that can be soaked?! With this, we don’t have to worry about Master not eating well in the future even if Miss isn’t by our side!”
“What you said is wrong. It should be said that every time Master eats this bowl of noodles in the future, he will think of Miss!”
Rong Yan coughed lightly and reminded the two of them not to go overboard. At the same time, he expressed his attitude. “We won’t be separated.”
Yun Er and Yun San suddenly felt full, while Xiaoxiao silently looked away..
