Chapter 337: Enough Oil and Water
Lao Xu couldn't help feeling sad: Oh, what a waste, what a waste, the food we got with great difficulty.
They have been living on pickled vegetables and rice cakes these past few days. The Zhu family is such a powerful family, their wealth is even greater than that of the royal family. Even if they are servants working in the kitchen, they eat better than the wealthy families outside, not to mention the food of their masters.
The world has changed dramatically. Forget about the delicacies from land and sea. After a few days, all the salted vegetables and bangzi will be gone and you will be left with nothing.
The Zhu family's situation was relatively better. They had a strong guard patrolling the area and were usually very nice to the people who had come to rely on them. They had a very good reputation in the area, so the hungry people did not cause chaos. In other places, the people had already rebelled and the place was in chaos.
Even the masters of the family were not full like the servants, and now the Tenth Miss, who had just returned, brought them food, food they had never seen before.
When I first got it, I saw the flat yellow object and was a little worried. Is such a small piece enough to eat?
"I was still wondering if it was enough to eat. It's good to have something to eat. Come on, the girl asked us to throw the yellow pieces into the boiling water and add this small packet of stuff, saying it's seasoning. I've never seen this kind of packaging before. Is it a new thing brought from the capital?
Waterproof and oil-proof. Hey, I think it's hard to tear open. It looks like something for the rich. It's definitely not for us."
"Uncle Xu, Miss Ten asked me to deliver ten more boxes, and told you to cook more so that everyone can enjoy the meal tonight!"
"Do we have it too?" Chef Xu pointed at his nose in disbelief.
"Yes, everyone has it, even the night incense lovers in the manor have it!"
Even though he was carrying the box over his head, the young man was full of strength. He heard from the people of Qinghe County who came with Miss Ten that the food tasted amazing! It was better than the food that only cost ten taels of silver in the county!
Zhu Linlang bought dozens of boxes of instant noodles from Lin Xinhuan. She couldn't forget them after eating them once in the supermarket. Lin Xinhuan said that instant noodles are fried and have a lot of additives, so it is not easy to eat them every day.
"Fried ones are even better. People rarely eat dishes with oil. Let's make up for it this time!"
Lin Xinhuan thought of the hardships he had seen when he was practicing medicine in his previous life. He waved his hand, and a lot more supplies appeared in the warehouse.
When Chef Xu took a look, he saw that the originally curled up and flat pieces of noodles had stretched out into noodles in the water. After the seasoning packet was added, the original wheat aroma exploded and the fragrance permeated his body.
One pot of noodles was eaten with more than 30 bowls. Isn't it just like dried black fungus, which gets bigger while soaking?
The young masters took the noodles, not caring about the usual behavior of the children of noble families. Those who were quick grabbed the stools and started eating with chopsticks, while those who were slower involuntarily bent their knees and squatted at the door to slurp the food.
If other people saw this scene, they would not believe that these people were the most upright and elegant members of the Zhu clan.
The girls were not as open as their brothers. Past etiquette and reserve were engraved in their blood.
But... the noodles won't taste good if I take them back... They looked at each other, the aroma went straight into their noses, they gritted their teeth, found a secluded corner, and ate with the bowl in hand.
Well~ This is the first thought that comes to everyone’s mind when eating noodles. Enjoy it~
After Chef Xu gulped down a bowl of noodles in two or three mouthfuls, he exclaimed in praise: "How come there is a strong smell of chicken soup even though there is no chicken in the dish? If you are not an expert in making soup, you can't make such delicious chicken soup."
He is good at cooking, and his specialty is stir-frying over hot fire. His skills are among the best in the county, otherwise how could he work for the Zhu family?
To be honest, the soup is not as good as the one made with seasoning packets.
"Mom, what does this taste like? It's so delicious!" The little girl drank the soup hungrily. After the last sip, her cheeks puffed up. She was reluctant to swallow it for a long time, wanting the taste to stay in her mouth.
When the food was served, she actually saw oil spots in the bowl. It turned out that there was oil in the noodles!
Only during the Chinese New Year would grandma scoop a small spoonful of pork fat into the pot. By the time she made the second dish, there was basically no oil left. One spoonful of oil was enough to support the entire table of dishes, but very little flavor could be tasted.
The little girl's mother couldn't help crying and touched the girl's hair. She was the one who was sorry for the child. She had never had a sip of chicken soup since she was born. Chickens were the most precious property in the family. They laid eggs every day, which were the only food in the family. They could also be saved and exchanged for money. But in most cases, they were exchanged for money.
The hens will not be killed and eaten until they can no longer lay eggs.
She also drank a bowl of chicken soup during her confinement period after giving birth. She always remembered the taste of it. It was not as rich as this bowl of noodles, which was mixed with a lot of water.
The child suffered because of her and didn't even know what chicken soup tasted like.
These noodles are probably made of the finest wheat, very chewy. If she hadn't been in the Zhu family, she would never have been able to eat such a delicacy in her life.
"My husband, the Zhu family is so kind to us. They don't even look down on us country folk. You must work hard for them."
The heart that had originally lost hope in the world and was helpless after losing its home now rested in Zhujiazhuang.
The man who was devoted to eating nodded his head after hearing this. He would do anything as long as he, his wife and children were full!
When the guards of Chongyi faction learned that they were assigned to Zhu Linlang, they were afraid that Chang Yuan would spend more time with the little girl and have a better relationship with her, and they would be excluded.
As soon as I started eating the instant noodles, a flash of jealousy appeared in my eyes: It turns out you guys eat so well!
But Zhu Linlang is also our master, and we will be able to eat such delicious food in the future. A bowl of instant noodles will allow the Okinawa faction to quickly integrate into the group.
After dinner, Zhu Linlang took Lin Xinhuan to a side hall. When they opened the door, it was pitch black inside.
"Hasn't anyone arrived yet?"
Zhu Jingshi said that he wanted to bring them here to meet the people, but Lin Xinhuan said, "No need, I'm not a member of the Zhu family."
"They've been thinking about you."
Seeing the pleading look, Lin Xinhuan's heart softened. She just hoped that the old men could bear the scare, and she prepared some emergency heart pills.
"You guys are finally here~"
A gust of cold wind blew by, shaking the two door panels and making them creak. Lin Xinhuan's hair stood on end and her heart was pounding. It turned out that the heart-protecting pills were prepared for me.
The moonlight shone in through the wooden door, and suddenly several faces flashed before them.
"Snap!" The room was as bright as day, and everyone except Lin Xinhuan closed their eyes reflexively.
"The sun is coming in!"
"It's not the sun, it's just a flashlight that glows." Lin Xinhuan breathed a sigh of relief after seeing a group of people who could breathe and talk while covering their eyes with their hands, and explained what the "sun" they were talking about was.
"What is a flashlight? It's brighter than a candle. Is it the sun that fell down?"
"It's not hot? How come it's glowing?"
