Xia Wan gazed quietly at the neatly arranged tools before her, silently matching them with the scenes in her memory.

After a moment's thought, her gaze finally settled on the pile of ingredients. Xia Wan was quite confident about making the instant noodle cake.

After all, it wasn't a particularly difficult thing. However, she knew that the real key to making this bowl of instant noodles delicious lay in carefully preparing a mouthwatering seasoning packet.

She recalled that instant noodles had already quietly appeared in China as early as the 1970s.

However, the instant noodles at that time were relatively simple and plain in terms of both packaging and quality.

At that time, the common packaging was often just a simple plastic bag, far inferior to the exquisite, gorgeous, and multifunctional packaging designs of today.

The shape of the noodles themselves is relatively monotonous.

Compared to the dazzling array of bizarre designs available today, these are simply insignificant.

As for the taste, it gives people a sense of simplicity and purity. The ingredients of the seasoning packets at that time were not complicated, usually just a mixture of some simple salt, MSG and a small amount of spices.

The overall flavor was mostly salty and savory, far less diverse than it is today.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that at that time, the production process of instant noodles was still in the stage of continuous exploration and gradual improvement.

Although it has emerged as a brand-new food concept, it is still a rarity in the market and has not become as widely popular as it is now.

Many people are still quite unfamiliar with and curious about this kind of convenient fast food product that can quickly solve the problem of hunger.

Most people have never even seen such a thing before.

Even so, it is undeniable that the emergence of instant noodles has brought an unprecedentedly convenient food option to the daily lives of some people.

What she needed to do now was change the recipe for the seasoning packet. With that in mind, she started writing and drawing on the paper with the pen next to her.

If she can successfully recreate the mouthwatering and diverse flavors of modern instant noodles, it will undoubtedly be a huge business opportunity for China, and may even earn foreign exchange for China!

It's worth noting that even today's foreign instant noodle brands, while touting convenience and speed, often fall short in terms of taste.

Most of the time, people choose to eat instant noodles simply because they are convenient to carry and easy to cook.

However, at this moment, all Xia Wan needed were some relatively simple and common ingredients and seasonings.

However, if we want to mass-produce this unique and delicious instant seasoning packet on a large scale, we will have to go out and purchase large quantities of dehydrated vegetables, as well as various unique spices and necessary food additives.

However, those are not things she needs to worry about; Director Bai and Factory Manager Niu will take care of them.

Thinking of this, Xia Wan quickly picked up a pen and wrote down in detail all the items she urgently needed on a piece of paper.

Then, clutching the piece of paper that carried her hopes tightly, she strode confidently toward Director Bai's office.

When Xia Wan gently knocked on the office door, Director Bai, who was engrossed in his work, was slightly taken aback, a look of surprise on his face: "Comrade Xia, why are you here at this hour? Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Faced with Director Bai's concerned inquiry, Xia Wan smiled slightly, then politely stepped forward and carefully placed the note filled with her needs on Director Bai's large and tidy desk.

"Director Bai, I do urgently need some specific items, and I'd like to trouble you to arrange for someone to help me prepare them."

When Director Bai heard Xia Wan say that she needed something, he breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that something had happened in the workshop again, but it seems that he was overthinking it.

"Oh? What is it? I'll arrange for someone to prepare it right away!" Director Bai said, picking up the paper with a puzzled look and examining it carefully.

However, after looking at it for a long time, he was still completely confused and couldn't figure it out at all.

But he didn't take it to heart, after all, he knew he wasn't an expert in this field.

So he looked up, turned his gaze to the person in front of him, and asked curiously, "Could it be that you've successfully developed a brand new food formula so quickly?"

Director Bai's words clearly revealed disbelief, and his face showed undisguised surprise.

His expression seemed to say that it was truly unbelievable that he could make such a breakthrough in such a short time.

In response to Director Bai's question, Xia Wan smiled slightly and replied calmly, "It's not entirely certain yet. I just have a preliminary idea and plan to try it out to see how it goes."

Her tone was quite cautious, clearly indicating that she wasn't entirely confident about the outcome.

After all, she was only relying on a video of making instant noodles that she had seen by chance on the internet in her previous life, and she had never tried it herself.

Therefore, she really had no idea whether she would succeed in the end.

Nevertheless, Xia Wan decided to keep the secret for the time being and reveal the details to others after she had made a satisfactory packet of ingredients.

She was not in a hurry to publicize it before this.
