Chapter 395 Magic
A rich fragrance filled the air.
Kang Haozhi and Feng Xiu'an only felt that their mouths were watering just from smelling the fragrance.
I feel even hungrier.
Especially when looking at the aroma emanating from the bowl and the little bit of steam coming out, I just think the picture is so beautiful.
Make them feel like they are back home.
It felt like I was still at home, with my mother cooking a bowl of hot noodles.
This trance-like feeling made their whole bodies slightly warm.
Just by smelling the aroma and looking at the noodles in the bowl, they all felt homesick.
Eating a bowl of steaming noodles in a foreign land can really warm your heart.
Although they didn't eat it at this time, they were very excited just by looking at it.
“This…what is this?”
Kang Haozhi and Feng Xiu'an were still a little dazed, feeling as if they were hallucinating.
Since they came to the capital, they have never eaten white flour rice, let alone noodles.
In the capital, a bowl of plain noodles only costs sixteen cents. When they pass by the noodle shop and look at it, they are reluctant to eat a bowl.
Looking at the steaming noodles at this moment, they were all a little stunned.
Dong Wenren naturally understood Kang Haozhi and Feng Xiu'an's feelings.
"Eat it, this is prepared by the benefactor girl."
Dong Wenren wanted to explain the relationship between him and his cousin and his wife later.
The key now is to eat first, otherwise it will get cold if you eat later after you finish talking.
"this……"
“We don’t know how to be grateful…”
Dong Wenren said, "Eat it while it's hot. I'll go back to the house to eat noodles. I'll talk to you later."
Dong Wenren spoke briefly to the two brothers and then went back to the house.
My cousin’s wife made three bowls of noodles in total, and also fried some eggs with some vegetables in it. It smelled very delicious.
Dong Wenren returned to the house and sat at the table. Looking at the big bowl of noodles, his eyes became slightly red.
Su Xueyi said, "Eat it quickly while it's hot. We'll have something delicious for lunch."
This is what Yao Niang told him just now in the house.
Dong Wenren choked up and nodded, "Thank you, cousin."
Su Xueyi said softly, "We are all brothers, don't thank me."
Dong Wenren nodded and picked up his chopsticks to eat.
After eating this, Dong Wenren was shocked.
It looks like noodles, but it tastes much better than noodles. It has a strong aroma, a chewier texture, and leaves a lingering taste in the mouth.
The soup tastes good too, not just like the bland noodle soup.
Dong Wenren's eyes widened slightly in shock, and he couldn't believe it.
But he took a few more bites and it was still delicious, and it tasted better the more he ate.
It tasted better than any noodles he had ever eaten, and the soup was even more flavorful.
After drinking it, I feel warm all over.
My body started to feel comfortable.
The feeling of physical discomfort due to hunger was gone.
After eating more than half a bowl, he finally took a breath and exclaimed, "It's delicious, really delicious."
"Cousin, to be honest, I've never eaten noodles so delicious. These noodles are chewier and more fragrant than the noodles I eat every day. The soup is also delicious. It's so delicious."
Dong Wenren couldn't bear to eat the fried egg in the noodles.
He thought he would eat all the noodles before eating the poached eggs.
Because it was so delicious, Dong Wenren couldn't help but become jealous.
Su Xueyi looked at her cousin's expression and felt a little sad.
If Yao Niang had not come to him, if he came to the capital, he might have done the same as his cousin.
In a place like the capital where every inch of land is valuable, money is needed everywhere.
Even the price of food is more expensive than in ordinary places, not to mention the price of houses.
Even if you rent a house, a small courtyard like this in the outer city would cost at least more than ten taels of silver a month.
Not to mention the daily expenses of food, accommodation, pens, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Even the travel expenses from the local area to the capital are a considerable expense.
Seeing him like this, Shen Yueyao hurriedly asked: "Cousin, can you be full with just one bowl?"
"Yes, yes, this big bowl is a lot."
He had only eaten half of it when he felt his stomach was almost full and his stomach felt comfortable.
Because the food was comfortable and warm, my whole body and mind couldn't help but relax.
Shen Yueyao smiled and said, “If you think it tastes good, cousin, I’ll give you some more instant noodles so you can soak them and eat them on weekdays.”
She made this instant noodle herself, and the seasoning packet is sufficient. It is nutritious enough to add some vegetables to it on a daily basis.
There is a lot of noodles in instant noodles. Even people with a big appetite can feel full after eating a bowl of this.
Of course, if one pack is not enough, you can make a few more packs.
"Cousin, no need. How can I trouble you again?"
For this, Dong Wenren was already very grateful.
He felt really comfortable and happy while eating this bowl of noodles.
Shen Yueyao knew that when people are hungry, eating a bowl of hot noodles is actually the best way to warm the stomach.
"It's okay, I have plenty here, and there are many ways to cook noodles."
"You'll know when we eat together later."
Shen Yueyao knew that Su Xueyi attached great importance to family affection.
Now that we know Dong Wenren lives here, there is no way we can just ignore it.
At least it’s convenient to eat and you’ll feel full.
Otherwise, if you don’t get enough nutrition, you won’t have the energy to study.
Dong Wenren's eyes lit up. Is there any other way to eat noodles?
He doesn't know, he only knows noodles with soup.
Shen Yueyao can make various kinds of noodles, such as knife-cut noodles, mixed sauce noodles, pickled fish noodles, etc.
But since she had eaten noodles in the morning, she didn't plan to make noodles at noon.
She thought she could steam the rice and cook some vegetables.
You can make dumplings and eat them in the evening.
Su Xueyi meeting her cousin in the capital is also something worth celebrating.
Here, people are used to making dumplings when they have something to celebrate.
So Shen Yueyao planned to make dumplings for dinner.
When it comes to eating delicious food, it’s more lively when there are many people around.
Su Xueyi understood that Wenren was still trying to be polite, so she said, "You don't have to feel embarrassed. We cousins need to support each other in the future. We will also be taking the imperial examination soon, so we can't be frugal with food."
"Only if you eat well and have enough energy to study can you perform well."
Dong Wenren also understood this principle.
He thought that he must repay his cousin and cousin-in-law well in the future, and he must remember this kindness.
Nothing is taken for granted.
Brother Feng came to the capital originally to seek refuge with his relatives, but his relatives didn't even want to know anything about him. They just saw that he was dressed poorly and asked the doorman to kick him out.
It is extremely humiliating.
He felt touched and warm in his heart that his cousin could still treat him like this.
And the most important thing is that he thinks his cousin's wife is amazing. She is really capable and the noodles she makes are excellent.
It was much better than the noodles he had eaten in Hezhou.
Dong Wenren continued to eat the instant noodles in his bowl.
After eating all the instant noodles and the fried egg inside, he even drank all the soup.
After eating, Dong Wenren felt full of strength, all the fatigue in his body disappeared, and he felt full of energy.
Shen Yueyao looked at his mental changes and didn't find it strange.
Because Shen Yueyao added some extra spiritual spring water when she boiled water in the kettle.
When you soak instant noodles in water with spiritual spring water, the nutritional value of the food will naturally be different.
Besides, people will have more energy after eating a full meal.
Not eating enough can easily lead to low blood sugar, dizziness, and even fainting and lack of energy if you use your brain to study.
Therefore, Shen Yueyao has always believed that one needs to eat enough to study.
She followed Su Xueyi to the capital to take care of his food, accommodation and diet so that he could study with peace of mind.
In another room, Kang Haozhi and Feng Xiu'an sat down and couldn't wait to eat while it was hot.
After taking a few bites, Kang Haozhi couldn't help but feel tears welling up in his eyes.
Feng Xiu'an extended his other hand and patted Kang Haozhi on the shoulder, saying, "Eat quickly. Once you're full, let's hurry up and study. Only by passing the imperial examinations can we be worthy of all those who have supported and helped us."
Kang Haozhi choked up and nodded, "Yes, I want to fight for my dignity."
"I just miss my wife and my son."
"This time, they left all the money they had at home for me to use as travel expenses."
Kang Haozhi is now 22 years old. He got married early, at the age of 16. The reason he has been able to hold on over the years is that his wife takes care of all the housework at home, so he doesn't have to worry about anything.
But he saw all the hard work his wife did.
People like them who have no connections may not be able to get an official position even if they pass the imperial examination.
Fortunately, after passing the examination to become a scholar, I could receive food from the government office every month.
Because Dong's father was the county magistrate, no one dared to withhold the grain and silver they were entitled to.
Life is pretty good.
After passing the imperial examination, you will receive more.
But his mother was not in good health and sometimes needed money to buy medicine.
In addition, the pens, ink, paper and inkstone he needed for his studies all cost money, and the travel expenses to Beijing for the exam were also quite a bit, so the various miscellaneous expenses were also huge.
Kang Haozhi also thought that if he could get a position, his life would be better.
Also, if he did well in the exam, the villagers would feel proud and would support him.
Over the years, the people in the clan have been very united and helped him.
Although he was not at home, he knew that his tribesmen would help him take care of his mother, wife and son.
I also have a five-year-old son who is very sensible.
But if you can pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi, you will have honor and fame. If you are lucky enough to enter the palace examination, it will be a different story.
To put it nicely, it means to pass the imperial examination and make great achievements, but Kang Haozhi understands that he actually just wants to make an effort and let his mother, wife and son live a good life with him.
He wants to be good to his wife.
Feng Xiu'an looked at Kang Haozhi's expression, listened to his words, and could understand him.
When Feng Xiu'an was just twenty years old, someone deliberately slandered his reputation, saying that he was unlucky in marriage. As a result, when he failed to pass the imperial examination, no one dared to marry him.
Because of this, his parents both fell seriously ill.
Feng Xiu'an comforted Kang Haozhi, "Everything will be fine."
"Look, the princess had someone beat me up. I thought I couldn't hold on any longer and felt so sorry for my parents. But now that I've woken up, everything is fine."
"So we just need to work hard and prepare well for the exam."
Kang Haozhi nodded and said, "Well, that's how it should be."
While the two were talking, they also started eating instant noodles.
Kang Haozhi was shocked and said, "It's really delicious. I didn't expect there are such delicious noodles in Beijing."
Feng Xiu'an said: "This should be done by that benefactor girl."
Feng Xiu'an's heart was filled with gratitude as he ate the noodles slowly.
He moved neither hurriedly nor slowly, as if he was enjoying the delicious taste of the noodles.
Kang Haozhi ate quickly at first, but after eating half of it, he came to his senses and didn't want to finish it any more, so he ate slowly, bite by bite.
They are full of praise.
"It's so delicious. That girl is not only an amazing doctor, but also a fantastic cook."
Now, they are not only grateful but also full of admiration.
The two of them ate a big bowl and drank the soup.
Kang Haozhi gently covered his stomach and said, "I'm very full. My stomach feels really good."
They had never had such a full meal since they came to the capital.
I feel better after eating, and the sunshine outside seems brighter.
Feng Xiu'an's expression changed as he said, "After eating this bowl of noodles, I feel more energetic."
An indescribable power.
I don’t know if it was his illusion.
But I feel that these noodles are not ordinary noodles.
Kang Haozhi hadn't thought much about it at first, but when he heard Brother Feng say that, he was shocked and said, "That's true. I feel so energetic right now that I can't wait to write an article."
This feeling is somewhat magical.
Feng Xiu'an thought that the girl knew medicine and perhaps also knew medicinal food.
He didn't think much about it, he just felt that only by making himself more capable would he be able to repay the favor.
He was grateful to both Brother Kang and Brother Dong.
Kang Haozhi couldn't help but wonder whether his mother, wife and son were willing to eat noodles at home.
Kang Haozhi was also confused and didn't understand why the girl came here so early in the morning.
But this was not something he thought about too much. He had just finished his meal, so he should read quickly and not waste this bowl of noodles.
…
After Dong Wenren talked to Su Xueyi, the two of them discussed academic matters together.
Of course, it was mainly Su Xueyi who gave guidance to Dong Wenren.
Dong Wenren felt that his cousin's advice really hit the nail on the head.
After listening to the problems he pointed out, he felt like he had suddenly understood something.
Many of my doubts suddenly became clear.
He admired her very much.
I thought to myself, no matter how many years have passed, my cousin's knowledge is still as impressive as ever.
He is much better than the teachers in the academy.
Dong Wenren is also very humble and will ask directly if he doesn't know the answer.
Su Xueyi explained patiently.
Seeing that what they said was just right, Shen Yueyao thought about going for a walk to buy some ingredients and make a hearty lunch at noon.
She now has money in her hands and a lot of vegetables and ingredients in her space. At most, she can go shopping and buy some things she needs, which won’t cost much money.
What's more, she just saw Su Xueyi smile, although the smile was very faint.
But she knew that he should be happy to see his cousin.
Shen Yueyao was walking around the market, thinking about what dish would be best to cook for lunch.
Shen Yueyao looked at the ingredients at the market and thought about making braised pork, spicy chicken, sweet and sour spare ribs, fish-flavored shredded pork, mapo tofu, pork meatballs, etc.
My cousin had two classmates, so naturally we entertained them together.
So you can make twelve dishes.
Shen Yueyao saw how much they ate noodles in the morning and thought it would be okay to have these dishes at noon.
Then steam and cook rice and eat it with rice, it is even more delicious.
