Su Xiaoxiao mixed the flour with warm water, kneaded it into a smooth dough, put it into an empty bowl, covered it with a lid and let it rest.

Let the dough rise for thirty minutes to an hour so that it can relax and become more flexible.

While waiting, Su Xiaoxiao began to prepare the side dishes for the hot dry noodles, including chives, garlic, diced radish and pickled beans.

Cut several side dishes into small sections and pieces for later use.

The characteristic of hot dry noodles lies in its unique sauce.

Mix sesame paste, soy sauce, salt, sugar, pepper and other seasonings into a rich sauce and set aside.

After doing all this, the dough is almost ready.

Su Xiaoxiao started pressing and cutting the noodles again.

Roll out the dough into a thin sheet and sprinkle some dry flour on it to prevent it from sticking.

Then cut the noodles into thin strips and the hot dry noodles are ready.

The next step is to cook the noodles.

Add the cut noodles to the boiling water and cook, stirring gently with chopsticks.

When the noodles are cooked until 80% done, remove them from the water and rinse with cold water. This will make the noodles chewier and smoother and more elastic when eaten.

Put the noodles into a large bowl, then pour the prepared sauce and side dishes over the noodles.

A bowl of delicious and unique hot dry noodles is ready.

Su Xiaoxiao put the hot dry noodles on a tray and found two small plates next to them, one with minced garlic and the other with chili oil.

She had just finished when Butler Wang showed up in time.

"All right?"

"Hmm! Add minced garlic and chili oil to the noodles according to your personal taste and mix well."

"I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful at such a young age."

When Butler Wang saw that the hot dry noodles looked good and tasted delicious, he immediately called for help.

"Come here, take him to the master's room immediately."

"Yes!"

A servant came forward, picked up the hot dry noodles and left quickly.

Butler Wang asked Su Xiaoxiao to wait here and left.

Su Xiaoxiao was left alone in the small kitchen again.

She sat on a small bench at the door, chin in her hand, waiting.

I hope the hot dry noodles she makes will taste the same as what Mr. Wang wants to eat.

Two quarters of an hour passed, and Steward Wang still hadn't returned.

Su Xiaoxiao began to wonder.

"Does it take so long to eat noodles? Could it be that the old man is too old and has no teeth, so he eats slowly?"

She stood up and looked in the direction where Butler Wang left.

Fortunately, after a few minutes, Butler Wang finally came back, and Su Xiaoxiao couldn't wait to greet him.

"How is it? Does Mr. Wang like it?"

Butler Wang looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a serious expression.

When Su Xiaoxiao looked at him, she found that Butler Wang's eyes were a little red and he seemed to be worried.

Could it be that the hot dry noodles she made were not what Mr. Wang wanted?

Butler Wang was reprimanded for this?

its not right!

Even if you get scolded, you won't cry, right?

In doubt, Butler Wang spoke seriously.

"Who did you learn how to make this hot dry noodles?"

Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled.

"What...what happened?"

"The hot dry noodles you made are exactly what my master wanted. Not only did he eat them all, he even cried while eating them!"

"What?" Su Xiaoxiao was confused.

I just ate noodles, is there any need to cry?

Mr. Wang comes from a wealthy family, it is impossible for him to cry just because he ate some noodles!

No, there's a story here!

"Butler Wang, what's going on? If this is really my fault, I apologize to you, to Mr. Wang!"

Butler Wang waved his hand.

"It has nothing to do with you. I just heard about it from my master. I've been with him for twenty years, and I didn't know he had such a sad and beautiful story."

It turned out that when Mr. Wang was young, he followed his elders to the south to do business and fell in love with a girl who sold hot dry noodles.

Later, they were unable to be together due to various reasons, and Wang Yuanwai always felt resentful about it.

After returning home, I followed my parents' arrangements.

He got married, had children, did business, and lived an ordinary life step by step. Over time, he forgot about this matter.

But now he is old, and his wife passed away a few years ago. Recently, he suddenly remembered the girl he liked back then.

He knew that there was no possibility of him seeing the girl again, so he wanted to eat some authentic hot dry noodles as a consolation.

Just now, Wang Yuanwai ate Su Xiaoxiao’s hot dry noodles, and instantly recalled the past events. He cried while eating.

Butler Wang was also very moved when he heard this, and his eyes became moist unconsciously.

"Little girl, who did you learn to make hot dry noodles from?"

Su Xiaoxiao understood what Butler Wang meant. He wanted to confirm whether she had any relationship with the person that Mr. Wang loved but could not get. She waved her hands repeatedly.

"Butler Wang, I'm sorry I can't tell you directly, but I'm sure it has nothing to do with that southern girl who made hot dry noodles back then."

"really?"

"My ancestors are all from the north, how could they be from the south?"

"Then how do you make hot dry noodles?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "..."

Why are you asking again?

How to explain it?

Could it be that she traveled from the future and knows how to make all kinds of snacks?

If you do that, you will be caught as a monster and burned to death.

She doesn't want to die!

If you really don't say anything, it will easily arouse suspicion.

She smiled awkwardly and had to tell a lie.

"To be honest, I once met a wandering master who was quite knowledgeable about food. He saw that we had a connection, so he taught me some cooking skills."

"Your master must have traveled to the south, otherwise how could he make these southern snacks? Where is your master now?" asked Butler Wang.

"I promised Master not to reveal his information. Besides, Master travels all over the place, and I don't know where he is now."

Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao looked embarrassed and didn't seem to be lying, Butler Wang believed her.

He was loyal to Mr. Wang and wanted to investigate secretly.

If he could find the girl from that year through Su Xiaoxiao, it would help Mr. Wang to put his mind at ease.

"In that case, I won't ask any more questions!"

Then he took out a heavy purse and gave it to Su Xiaoxiao.

"Here are ten taels of silver. Please accept it."

Su Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up and she immediately took it with both hands.

Think about it, for those rural peasants, they would be lucky to earn four or five taels of silver after working hard for a year. She got ten taels of silver at once, which was a huge sum of money!

With this huge sum of money, she can do whatever she wants.

She squeezed it gently and found some small change and copper coins inside.

Unexpectedly, Butler Wang was quite considerate. Worried that it would be inconvenient for her to spend money, he specially prepared some change for her.

She was grateful to Butler Wang in her heart.

While lost in thought, Butler Wang spoke again.

"What's your name and where do you live? If my master ever wants to eat hot-dried noodles again, I'll send someone to find you!"

"My name is Su Xiaoxiao, and I live in Dahe Village." Su Xiaoxiao blurted out.

"but……"

She asked tentatively, "I'd like to ask Steward Wang, every time you ask me to make hot dry noodles, do you give me a ten-liang reward?"

Butler Wang was amused by Su Xiaoxiao's money-grubbing look.

"You're really clever! Don't worry, I won't give you a penny less of the reward I promised you!"

Su Xiaoxiao grinned so naively that the corners of her mouth almost reached her ears.

"Please rest assured, Steward Wang, I will be there whenever you call!"

I wish Mr. Wang could eat hot dry noodles more often so that she can earn more money.

She bowed deeply to Butler Wang again.

"Thank you, Butler Wang, for giving me this opportunity!"

After she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Butler Wang.

"and many more!"
