Lu Qingyang transmigrates into a ’70s-era novel as a pitiful cannon-fodder simp.

His cousin steals his job.

His family sends him to the poorest area to chop wood as a part of the rural ...

Chapter 402

Exchanged for instant noodles of the same flavor.

The price is also very high, just one vegetable can be exchanged for two, and the vegetables here are now flooded.

When Lu Qingyang came back with a bag of instant noodles, Shen Mo still felt strange.

"What are you holding here?"

Normally when he came back, he would always bring some wild delicacies or something, but this time he brought back such a strange thing.

"What are you holding here?" She put down the spoon, stood up, and moved closer with curiosity. "It looks like mountain products... This bag is so strange, so thin that it is translucent, but very tough?"

She poked the plastic bag carefully with her finger, making a rustling sound.

Lu Qingyang looked at Shen Mo's cautious look as if she was studying some rare poisonous mushrooms, and couldn't help laughing.

He placed the bag on a clean stone slab nearby and poured out the colorful instant noodles in various shapes and sizes.

"This 'instant noodles', also known as instant noodles, is considered a kind of... um, special dry food."

He picked up a bowl of the most classic braised beef noodles and pointed to the tempting picture of large chunks of beef and rich broth. "Look, like this, you can just soak it in boiling water and eat it. It tastes good."

"Dry food? Just soak it in water and eat it?" Shen Mo frowned even more tightly.

She picked up a bowl of pickled cabbage and beef noodles and turned it over, her fingers brushing over the raised letters and patterns on the plastic.

"The meat and vegetables in the painting look tempting, but the stuff in the bag... doesn't smell good."

She brought the pancake to her nose and sniffed it, only to smell a faint, peculiar scent of fried pancakes that she had never smelled before.

He deftly tore open a package of spicy beef noodles and took out the noodles, flour, sauce and dehydrated vegetables inside.

"Look, the dough is cooked, it's just dried out, and these little condiments are gone."

He squeezed some of the dark brown sauce onto his fingertips and said, "This sauce is for seasoning."

He opened the powder box again, revealing the orange-red powder inside. "This is spice powder, it adds flavor."

Finally, "These are dehydrated vegetables. They will be restored after soaking them."

Chen Mo looked at the overly bright powder and sticky sauce, and her suspicion grew stronger: "This color... is too bright, and this powder smells pungent, is it poisonous?"

"Don't worry, it's not poisonous, but it has a strong smell."

Lu Qingyang explained with a smile, but in his heart he was thinking that compared with pure, additive-free ingredients, these industrial seasonings did seem a bit "vulgar and cheap".

He swiftly took the boiling water from the stove and poured it into a large clean earthenware bowl, then put the dough and all the seasonings into it.

"Put the lid on and wait a few minutes."

Hot steam rose from the edge of the bowl lid, bringing with it an overbearing and unfamiliar strong aroma, spicy, salty, and mixed with a flavor that Chen Mo had never smelled before.

"Huh! What's that smell?!"

Although this smell is unfamiliar, it is strange and unique. If you smell it for a long time, it will make you feel hungry.

"This is the taste of instant noodles, spicy." Lu Qingyang proudly opened the lid and stirred it with chopsticks.

The noodles in the bowl had absorbed the soup, becoming soft and puffy, with bits of oil and dehydrated vegetables floating on the orange-red soup.

The appearance is only slightly similar to the picture on the bag! There is not so much beef, nor so many vegetables.

He picked up a chopstick and blew on it, then slurped it into his mouth with an extremely satisfied look on his face: "Hmm! It still tastes the same! So good!"

Shen Mo watched him eat with an intoxicated look on his face, then looked at the bowl of noodles with rich color and fragrant aroma, and her stomach growled in dissatisfaction.

She licked her lips, curiosity finally overcoming caution: "Is it really that delicious? It smells... special. Want it, can you give me a taste too?"

Lu Qingyang smiled and pushed the bowl over to her, then handed her a pair of chopsticks: "Be careful, it's hot, the taste is a bit strong, you'll know when you try it."

Shen Mo imitated him, carefully picked up a few noodles, blew on them again and again, and then put them into her mouth.

It's completely different from the food she usually eats. It's a simple and crude but extremely enjoyable taste experience!

"Hmm!" Shen Mo's eyes suddenly lit up, and without caring about the heat, she quickly took another big sip.

"This...this taste! It's amazing! Spicy and fragrant! The soup is so rich!"

She hissed, but tried to hold back and pick up the noodles again.

Lu Qingyang smiled and took another one from the bag: "It's hot and sour, and tastes like old hen. I'll try it next time! This thing is easy to use and tastes good. When I'm busy cooking, or when I'm hungry at night, it's very convenient to soak some to fill my stomach."

Of course, this satisfied Shen Mo's appetite. "I want to eat it all. Can you make it for me to try?"

"That's fine too."

Instant noodles can be cooked in many ways. For example, you can add an egg, some other vegetables, or meat to cook instant noodles.

Until several bowls of instant noodles were served, Shen Mo smelled the smell and her appetite was aroused, "Then I will start eating?"

"Eat it! Try it and see how it tastes."

The first bowl was mushroom noodle soup with "old hen flavor".

Lu Qingyang was indeed very knowledgeable. He used the dried shiitake mushrooms stored in the space and the freshly picked small mushrooms to cook the soup base. The rich aroma of chicken soup mixed with the wild mushrooms was particularly delicious, and the hot steam went straight into his nose.

"Mmm! This is so delicious! The chicken soup is so authentic, and the mushrooms are so sweet. It feels like I'm drinking a bowl of hot wild mushroom soup in the mountains! It warms my stomach."

She sighed contentedly, scooped another spoonful of soup, blew on it, and drank it in small sips, her face full of satisfaction.

The second bowl of 놆 sauerkraut beef noodles.

Lu Qingyang cut the braised beef into thin slices and spread a thick layer on the bright red and tempting hot and sour soup.

The first bowl was simpler, the classic braised beef noodles, but Lu Qingyang added a golden soft-boiled egg and blanched some emerald green vegetables on top.

He kept this for himself, took a sip, and still had the familiar scent of spices.

To Chen Mo, it had a strange and novel taste.

After eating, Shen Mo touched her round belly and said, "Why are there so many kinds of instant noodles, and they are so convenient."

In addition, there are various things that can be exchanged in the space mall.

There are even electrical appliances, but unfortunately, there is no electricity in Liuxi yet. It will probably take some time before we can get electricity.

Lu Qingyang raised his head and looked at the sun in the sky. Although there were no electric wires, was there ready-made solar energy here?
