Chapter 1939 Tasting

After all, it's something new and exciting. Anyone who isn't short of money would be willing to spend two hundred coins to try it out.

Dazhuang stood in front of the jar of sunflower oil, holding a glass cup, and then said to the guests who came over, "Everyone, take a look. This is the sunflower oil supplied to the palace. It's a healthy oil that the nobles love to eat."

He scooped a spoonful from the jar and poured it into a glass. "See? The color and the aroma are absolutely superb. Customers who like it can take a small jar home and try it out. Add a little to your cooking and enjoy the treatment of royalty."

Xia Yan stood in front of the instant noodle counter, holding a noodle cake, a large bowl, and a steaming kettle. He called out to the crowd, "Come and see, everyone! This is the instant noodles that Scholar Meng ate when he took the exam. Why is it called instant noodles? Because it's incredibly convenient to make. When we want to eat noodles normally, we have to knead the dough, let it rest, beat it, and then boil it in water for a long time. It's okay in winter, but wouldn't it be unbearably hot in the kitchen in summer? Hey, these instant noodles completely solve everyone's problems."

As he spoke, he placed the instant noodles in a large bowl, took out the sauce from a jar next to him, and then poured in boiling water. "See? Just like that, put in the sauce, pour in hot water, put the lid on, and we'll be able to eat it in a little while."

Everyone stared wide-eyed. Many of them had never even heard of instant noodles before. Now, after hearing the introduction, they all found it amazing and stared wide-eyed.

While the instant noodles were cooking, Xia Yan took out another noodle cake. "These instant noodles can be cooked with hot water or eaten raw. When you're out and about, you might not have time to boil water or have any sauce. No problem, we can just eat them like steamed buns."

He broke the flatbread into small pieces, and gave a piece to each of the curious customers who were looking over, saying, "Try it, it's delicious even on its own."

Some guests were skeptical, so Xia Yan ate a piece himself.

Seeing this, the others put it in their mouths and exclaimed, "Hmm?" "Delicious, crisp and fragrant, it's so crunchy!"

"This thing is really convenient."

As they were talking, Xia Yan opened the lid of the instant noodles he had just prepared, and the person standing next to him took a deep breath, "It smells so good."

Xia Yan took a small bowl from the side, filled it with a chopstick, and handed it to everyone, saying, "Try it."

Everyone tried it one by one and soon realized that it wasn't enough. They all stared at the big bowl in front of them, feeling that the soup looked delicious too.

Xia Yan then demonstrated how to eat the noodles, showing how generous their county magistrate is, giving away cooking instructions with the purchase of noodles.

More and more customers poured in from outside, and many people couldn't squeeze to the front. They could only watch others eat. After seeing their reactions, they were all impatient. "I want to buy some, give me ten pancakes."

"I'm fine too."

"Hey bro, do you sell your sauces?"

Xia Yan smiled and said, "Customers who buy fifteen pancakes will receive a free jar of sauce. You can also buy them separately, but the price is a bit unreasonable."

"Then I'll take fifteen yuan."

Xia Yan smiled and pointed to the spot where Zhou Tiedong was standing next to him, "This way, please, customers who want to buy."

Standing at the tasting station for sunflower seeds was Da Niu, who had recently developed excellent speaking skills. "These are sunflower seeds. Let's not talk about anything else; this is the kind of food that's popular in Beijing right now."
