However, this one was acceptable, and improvements could be made later. With that thought in mind, Xia Wan brewed another bowl and took it to Director Bai's office.
In just one morning today, the door to Director Bai's office was knocked on three times.
Look at the time indicated by the wall clockâit's already lunchtime!
As luck would have it, just as Director Bai finished tidying up his desk and was about to head to the cafeteria for lunch, he suddenly caught sight of Xia Wan standing at the door.
Xia Wan held a rice bowl steadily in her hand, looking at him with a smile.
"Director Bai, are you going to the cafeteria?"
Director Bai couldn't help but sniff curiously. Wow! There seemed to be an enticing aroma in the air.
At this moment, Xia Wan spoke up again, "Director Bai, I just used those ingredients to make some special instant noodle seasoning, which is quite different from the common instant noodle seasonings on the market. It's lunchtime now, why don't you try it yourself?"
After saying that, Xia Wan handed the noodles forward a little more with both hands.
"Haha, good, good! Then I must try it. Comrade Xia, please come in!" Director Bai agreed as he quickly took the rice bowl from Xia Wan's hands, then stepped aside to open the door and invited Xia Wan to enter his office first.
However, something unexpected happened.
Just as the two stepped into the office, before they even had a chance to sit down, Factory Director Bai rushed in, carrying a folder in his hand.
Before I could even get my feet on the chair and step into the office, Director Niu hurriedly pushed open the door and came in.
He shouted loudly, "Old Bai, you'll have to go to that meeting for me tomorrow... Hey, Xia is here today? Oh dear, why is there a strange smell coming from your room? But it smells quite nice!"
As soon as he entered, Factory Director Niu launched into a barrage of words, showing absolutely no airs of a leader.
Xia Wan smiled as she looked at the energetic and decisive Factory Director Niu, secretly wondering if the two of them had something important to discuss.
So she quickly stood up and said, "Good morning, Director Niu! Why don't you two talk about business first? I'll come see Director Bai this afternoon, okay?"
"No, no, no need for that! I just came to say a few words to Lao Bai, it'll be over in no time. Comrade Xia, are you here to report to Director Bai?" Director Niu said, while quickly glancing at the notebook Xia Wan was clutching tightly in her hand.
At this moment, Director Bai quickly picked up where Director Niu left off, replying, "What a coincidence! Director Niu, you just happened to be here, which saves me the trouble of reporting to my superiors again. Comrade Xia is really amazing; she's come up with another new gadget and just delivered it over!"
Although he had no idea what food was in the lunchbox, the aroma, with just a gentle sniff, was like an invisible rope that gripped his heartstrings.
The aroma was rich and mellow, as if it wafted from a mysterious treasure trove of delicacies, making one's mouth water. Just imagining it was enough to guess that it must be incredibly delicious.
Just as he was pondering this, he saw Director Bai mutter to himself as he slowly lifted the lid of the lunchbox.
In an instant, an even stronger, more mellow and rich salty aroma swept outwards like a surging wave.
The aroma is not only rich but also layered. If you sniff carefully, you can even discern a faint, sweet fragrance, like a floral scent carried on a summer breeze, which is intoxicating.
When Director Bai finally saw what was in the lunchbox, his eyes widened, his mouth gaped open, and he was speechless for a long time. It turned out that the lunchbox contained nothing more than a bowl of ordinary instant noodles!
However, this bowl of instant noodles was unlike any he had ever eaten before. Putting aside the taste, its appearance alone was enough to catch his eye.
The rolled-up dough slowly unfurled in the steaming broth, its originally taut lines gradually becoming soft and smooth, like a sleeping beauty just awakening, lazily stretching her graceful figure.
Each noodle fully absorbs the rich braised broth, displaying an enticing reddish-brown sheen. From afar, it appears as if gently caressed and enveloped by the afterglow of the setting sun, radiating a warm and captivating glow.
In this reddish-brown sea, there are also some scattered bright green scallion flowers, which, like twinkling stars in the night sky, add a fresh and bright touch to the whole picture.
In addition, the golden carrot cubes are particularly eye-catching, like dazzling gems embedded in this bowl of instant noodles, radiating a brilliant light.
The rising steam carries a rich aroma that tantalizes the senses, making one's mouth water and eager to devour the food.
Xia Wan smiled and pointed to the lunchbox on the table, saying softly, "This is the instant noodles I tried making. Both the seasoning and the noodles are different from what you usually see on the market! Why don't you two leaders try it and give me your valuable opinions or suggestions so I can improve it as soon as possible?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the two people eagerly reached for the chopsticks, their eyes fixed on the instant noodles in the lunchbox.
