OBS Chapter 354 Instant Noodles
Chapter 354 Instant Noodles
After all, when you are hungry, bread is still enough to fill you up. A piece of dried meat is only that much. It may satisfy your mouth, but it cannot satisfy your stomach. You will still be hungry.
Zhou Xing and others also wanted to make the pancakes. "Let's do it together. It will be faster if we do it together."
Zhou Guo was looking forward to it. Someone was making the pancakes. She just happened to adjust the seasoning. Although she couldn't make it exactly the same or almost the same, it would be fine as long as it tasted better than it is now. She could break it into pieces and add some to the pancakes. It would taste even better if eaten dry.
She taught a few people, and then took out all the bottles and jars in the house and placed them on the kang.
Seeing that she had forgotten about the pancake again, Li took the bottles and jars at home and started to busy herself. She shook her head, not knowing what she was tinkering with. She didn't care. Let her do whatever she wanted. Anyway, she wouldn't be idle after eating.
The group was busy until late at night.
Everyone couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep one after another.
Before Zhou Guo could be transferred out, Li ordered him to go to bed.
The next day, he sat on the kang early in the morning and started working again.
When the old man came back from outside, he saw that she had requisitioned half of the kang, and he said with a smile: "What are you doing? Are you going to put all these bottles and jars on the kang?"
When Zhou Guo saw the old man, her eyes lit up. Yes, how could she have forgotten about her master? She pulled his sleeve and said, "Master, please help me."
The old man took the lead and poured himself a cup of tea. "How can I help? I can't work."
Zhou Guo smiled, "You don't have to work."
An old man and a young boy sat cross-legged on the kang, busy with a pile of bottles and jars, and occasionally gathered together to whisper a few words.
The other members of the Zhou family were sitting in the house, cutting meat, grilling meat, or kneading dough. Lao Hei and a few others came in from outside not long after. When they saw the situation, they found out what they were good at and started working.
Black Dabing was so attracted by the delicious smell in the room that he kept turning around in circles. He turned around and around but no one paid any attention to him. He turned around and ran out. He probably didn't want to suffer in the room and was extremely upset to see that he couldn't get any food.
Everyone in the room was busy from morning to afternoon. The meat was almost processed and piles of dough were fried.
The key point is that Zhou Guo and the old man’s research has also yielded results. They have successfully formulated what they consider to be the most successful seasoning, although they have not tried it yet.
In the steaming earthenware pot, a piece of golden curly dough was bubbling. Zhou Guo sprinkled the seasoning on it and waited until the noodles softened. Then he asked the person who had been waiting with chopsticks and bowls to come forward and say, "It's ready to eat."
Everyone couldn't wait to grab their bowls and serve.
……
Lao Hei said, "It's much better than last night's. It's fresh and fragrant. What is used in this?"
Everyone remained silent and lowered their heads to eat noodles.
Of course Zhou Guo couldn't miss it. This was her first bowl of formal instant noodles, so she had to taste it.
After taking a bite, I felt that although it could not be compared with what I had eaten in my previous life, it was already very good. At least it was acceptable. It was much more delicious to eat on the road than the cold and hard dry food. It was also durable and easy to store and carry. It was a must-have product for traveling.
Zhou Dacang, who has eaten it, said that if the taste is like this, it seems to be more delicious when eaten with soaking. You can also soak dried meat in it, which will make it even more fragrant.
For dinner, Zhou Guo cooked a big pot of instant noodles, put a dozen eggs in it, threw some cabbage leaves in, put the meat in, and poured in seasoning and soy sauce. Finally, he picked two of the dozen small garlic sprouts grown in broken jars in the house, chopped them into small pieces and sprinkled them on top. Then a pot of steaming hot noodles with tempting appearance, meat, eggs and vegetables was ready.
The whole room was filled with the sound of slurping noodles and occasional smacking sounds of chewing. Everyone was eating from their bowls without even raising their heads.
Zhou Guo held the big bowl and ate slowly, thinking that in his previous life, this thing was something people would only choose when they had to give it up, but here, it has become a rare delicacy.
Zhou Da Cang finished the soup in the bowl, licked the bowl, wiped his mouth and said: "When you are out in the wild mountains and wilderness, if you can have a bowl of noodles like this, it is something you can't even imagine."
Li smiled and said, "In addition to noodles, there are also meat, eggs and vegetables. Where can you find these things outside? I'm afraid there are only noodles or wild vegetables. You can only add meat after hunting."
Zhou Dacang said, "Even if it's just wild vegetables, that's good too. One bowl warms your body and fills your stomach, which is better than anything else."
Lao Hei and the others nodded. It was common to march in the ice and snow. They had to rely on dry rations and cold water in the past. When conditions allowed, they could even bake them and boil some hot water. If they could have something to soak and eat on the way back, it was something they had never thought of in the past.
When everything was done, it was dark.
Everyone in the room worked non-stop for two days and was so tired that they couldn't even straighten their backs.
Lao Hei and the others felt very sorry, and waved their hands and said, "Don't do anything tonight, we will grill meat. We can't cook other dishes, but we all know how to grill meat."
Zhou Guo said: "Uncle Hei, we have cooked all the meat, where is the meat for the barbecue?"
Old Zheng smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about that. The soldiers at the entrance of the village were bored, so they went to the mountains to hunt some food and gave us a deer. We will have roasted venison tonight. Your uncle Hei likes roasted venison the most and he is also the best at cooking. Let him roast it for you."
Because they all knew that this was their last day in the village and they would have to move out early tomorrow morning.
News came from other places that the two groups of Hu people who were running around had been intercepted and killed. The biggest hidden danger now was where these Hu people came from. If this route was not investigated clearly, there would be endless troubles. They had to go back early.
Li cooked a big pot of rice, and Zhou Xing picked out a radish from the cellar, used the bones to stew a big pot of radish and meat soup, and added some pine mushrooms. Drinking a bowl of soup in winter would warm the whole body.
Zhou Guo picked out some pickles from the jar and cut them into slices. It was a bit greasy to eat barbecue alone, and it was better to eat it with these sour and crispy pickles.
The old man also brought out his treasured ginseng whisker wine and poured a small cup for each person.
When Lao Hei and the others saw that he had such a treasure in his hands, they were stunned and couldn't help but be greedy.
"Grandpa, you still have such good stuff, why didn't you take it out earlier? We have been here for so many days."
Zhou Dacang smiled and said, "You are thinking of something. Sir, I only drink this wine during the New Year and other festivals. I usually don't give it to others. This time, I can pour a glass for each of you. It is really generous of me."
The old man stroked his beard and said, "This wine is good, but you can't drink it every day. After all, it's a medicinal wine. Drinking too much is not good. Anyway, you are all leaving. You are going to travel in the wind and snow. Drink a glass of this tonic and leave."
