Crossing the Unknown Country

Manager Wu of Fu Man Lou is now busy dealing with various relationships, including the attempts of peers and others trying to find ways to cooperate with them. Their business is so hot now that many people make reservations in advance, otherwise they can't get a seat on the day.

The person that Shopkeeper Wu wanted to see the most was Su He. The future business of Fu Man Lou would require her to continue to provide recipes. Also, he couldn't let other restaurants buy Su He's recipes. He needed to make an agreement with Su He. The price of the recipes had already been mentioned above. He could raise the price and ensure that it was only for them.

Su He didn't know the situation here, but she would not sell it to others casually. Since the cooperation with Tongfu Manlou was good, it would not change without special reasons. Su He knew that her ability was limited, so she only earned the money she deserved, and she didn't expect anything else.

When Su He got home, he started to squeeze juice with his own stone mill. He collected the vegetable juice from the stone mill mouth, filtered it with a thin white cloth, and finally used it to make noodles. He didn't make too much, just experimented with making a few pounds of noodles to test the taste. He asked his parents to try it out, and he used the wet noodles that had been made, bent them with chopsticks, rolled them into pancakes, steamed them, and then fried them in a mixture of three kinds of oil until they turned golden brown, and then took them out. Instant noodles were ready.

Su He directly boiled the big bone soup, added some vegetable leaves, and put in instant noodles. After working for an entire afternoon, she was so moved that she almost cried when she served the fragrant and hot noodles. This was her first time to make it. She had only seen it at the time, and before she had time to try it out, she was transported through. But fortunately, she was transported through, otherwise she would have died and nothing would be left.

Instant noodles were once a food that people both loved and hated. People loved them because they were delicious, but hated them because workers and students ate them so often that they got tired of them. After Su He made some money, she seldom ate them. But when she was a college student and when she first entered the workplace, this was her staple food because money was tight.

But today, when I smelled its fragrance, I really liked it. It felt like I was back to the old days. Dad and Mom looked at the curvy noodles and found them very novel. After tasting a bite, they nodded and said that it was delicious. They ate a few more bites and praised Su He: "How did you come up with this? This noodle is so delicious, so fragrant!"

Su He also ate the noodles in big mouthfuls, then said with a smile: "I once saw a joke that fried dirt is delicious. Besides, this is noodles, how can it not taste good?"

Su He's father burst into laughter when he heard this: "Yes, yes, how can anything not taste good if it's fried in oil?"

Su He passed the noodles that he had just cooked to grandma on the stool. It was too hot just now, but now the temperature is just right. Grandma smiled and said, "I was just saying that the second child's family is cooking something delicious, and the aroma has spread over here. I guess some of the neighborhood kids will come over to ask about it."

What Grandma Su He said was true. Su He stood on the high ground and looked out. She saw several children from the neighborhood coming here following the smell. They were about to reach their house, and their little hands were about to pry open the crack of the door. Su He wanted to laugh when she saw them. Several little heads gathered together, looking towards her house.

They started to grumble, and a brave one of them knocked on the door and shouted, "Is Su He home? We're here to play with you, come out!"

Su He got down from the stool, took a pancake, walked over to open the door, and said with a smile: "It's getting dark, I won't go out. I just made something delicious, you guys can share it!"

The children were so happy that they took the pancake and ran away. The others took a bite and ate it, saying, "It smells so good and tastes so good."

Su He smiled and thought, this instant noodles is the favorite food of children. Modern children can't resist the temptation, let alone in the ancient times when food was scarce. Su He was glad that he thought of instant noodles. He could take it with him when he went out in the future. It is a must-have for travel in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad.

Su He and her parents had a total of six noodles and a big pot of soup today. This was a lot, and Su He was full and was eating in the yard. After a long period of living in ancient times, although she had made modern dishes, none of them had instant noodles, which were unique to the modern world, making her miss the past even more.
