Next up are food additives, sodium carbonate, tert-butylhydroquinone...

Wu Zhiqiu couldn't understand what this was.

"Mom, sodium carbonate is an alkali," Xiaoyu said. They learned about it when they were studying chemistry.

"Tertiary butylhydroquinone is an oxidizing agent, and this is an anti-caking agent..." The two little girls were afraid of making a mistake, so they took out a book to compare them one by one.

Wu Zhiqiu didn't have the additives and preservatives, and didn't know where to buy them, so he decided to try adding some alkali first.

Wu Zhiqiu tried it again. He added too much alkali, so the noodles looked ugly in color and tasted astringent, but they were already cooked into shape.

That direction was right. Wu Zhiqiu studied it several more times. Finally, when he cooked it for the eighth time, the noodles were a little thicker, but they had a nice shape and the color was beautiful.

Xiaoyu took a bite and said, "Mom, it tastes better than the ones sold here, so fragrant!"

Manman also quickly tasted it and said, "Grandma, it's so delicious, so chewy and smooth. Cooked in chicken broth, it's even better than the instant noodles you buy!"

The two little girls gave it high praise.

Wu Zhiqiu also took two bites himself. The taste was still lighter than that of later generations, but it was finally made.

"Oh my god, it's dark outside and dinner isn't ready yet." Wu Zhiqiu slapped his thigh. The three of them were so engrossed in their study that they forgot about time.

"Grandma, let my grandpa and the others try Wu Zhiqiu brand instant noodles." It's not easy to research this, so shouldn't we show it off?

"I'll knead the dough, just give me instructions." Xiaoyu saw Wu Zhiqiu busy all afternoon and quickly took over.

"Then I'll fry the chicken and you guys make instant noodles." Wu Zhiqiu remembered that he had marinated the chicken for half a day.

Light rain...

Full of... grandma's motivation!

Wu Zhiqiu had experience in frying chicken from his previous life, so he fried it smoothly, and the aroma was almost wafting through the courtyard.

Wu Zhiqiu fried the chicken strips first. They were golden brown and looked very crispy. Manman and Xiaoyu didn't care about the heat and quickly put one in their mouths. They immediately gave a thumbs-up and said, "Mom, it's delicious! It's so delicious! It's even more delicious than the American chicken we had at noon!"

Wu Zhiqiu also tried one. It was delicious, but it wasn't as fragrant as the American chicken, and the meat was a bit tough. It was probably because there wasn't enough seasoning and the chicken was too old.

She thought of the chicken with eight wings in later generations.

Bai Jiaojiao in the front yard leaned on the door with her short legs to smell the fragrance, which made Wu Zhiqiu very happy.

"Come, Jiaojiao, grandma will give you a big chicken drumstick"

Bai Jiaojiao held her belly and said, "No, I'm full."

"You're full, why are you drooling?" Xiaoyu teased the little girl.

"Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao" Bai Qiancheng shouted from the front yard.

Xiaoyu: "Here is my home, Jiaojiao."

Bai Qiancheng came over with a smile and said, "This greedy little cat of ours must have come here by smelling the food."

"Dad, I don't want it." Bai Jiaojiao stared at the big chicken leg.

"It's a little hot. Bring some chicken back to Jiaojiao." Wu Zhiqiu handed the bowl of chicken legs to Bai Qiancheng and put a lot of chicken fillets into the bowl, making it a full bowl.

Bai Qiancheng: "Auntie, how can a child eat so much? Just give him a chicken drumstick."

"I just learned how to make it. Let Jiang Fen try it too." Bai Jiaojiao is the youngest child in the orphanage, and everyone likes her very much.

"Jiaojiao, thank you, Grandma Wu"

“Thank you, Grandma Wu.”

The father and daughter took the bowl back home.
