Chapter 5

This food called instant noodles was bought by Chris in a store called Supermarket in Dore City.

That day, he just happened to step into the supermarket, but he was amazed and spent five gold coins to buy the goods inside. After reporting to his companions, he immediately told others about this adventure.

But the reaction of his companions was...

"Chris, have you been cheated again?"

"Did you secretly go to the tavern and spend all your money?"

"If it is something from the magic store, how can it only cost five gold coins?"

There are many such scams. On the road, you encounter a magician dressed in strange clothes. The other party sneakily said that he wanted to sell him a magic prop. After paying the money and getting the thing, you realized that you were cheated, but by then, the other party had already run away without a trace. Most importantly, Chris had a criminal record. He once spent a lot of money to buy jerky that was said to be top-grade monster meat, but it turned out to be gray rat jerky.

In order to prove that he was right, Chris went back, and the supermarket really disappeared.

Chris: "..."

Maybe he really encountered a magician's prank?

After that, they accepted the mission and left Dore City. They fought monsters nervously every day. This thing called instant noodles was also forgotten by him and kept in his backpack until now, when Chris remembered it again.

"Maybe, we can try it?" Chris asked.

Looking at the dry barbecue in their hands, everyone nodded.

Chris carefully opened the package, and the saw-toothed edge tore it open, revealing five small packets, just in time for the five of them. There wasn't much in it, just a piece of crispy bread, a bag of powder, and a bag of dried vegetables.

Is that all?

Chris turned the package upside down, and there was nothing else.

According to the owner's instructions, he filled the pot with water, waited for the water to boil, and then threw all the instant noodles in. The golden bread softened and fell apart in a short while, and when the water boiled, the aroma of the instant noodles also emanated.

At first it was just the oily aroma of wheat, and everyone gulped it down in unison. When the seasoning dissolved in the soup and the rich aroma emanated, no one could sit still.

"What's

that smell?" "Why does it smell so

good?" "Is this instant noodles? How come it smells better than the food I eat in the main city restaurant?!"

Chris stirred the soup in the pot and kept swallowing his saliva.

He thought of the ultimate fragrance he smelled at the entrance of the supermarket. At that moment, he forgot the taste of all the food he had eaten in the first half of his life. Until a few minutes ago, he was still obsessed with it. But now, smelling the fragrance of instant noodles, he has completely forgotten that fragrance.

Such a domineering fragrance, when the nose smelled it, it seemed that all five senses were wrapped in this smell, and the sense of smell was also blocked, and no other smells could be smelled.

"Gurgle-"

"Gurgle-"

His stomach couldn't help but call out... Wait? More than one sound? !

Chris looked up and saw that several other companions had already come over with their bowls in hand. Their eyes were shining and they were salivating at the food in the pot. The sound of hunger came from everyone. After fighting with the monsters for a whole day, they had not eaten yet. Their stomachs were empty all day and had no resistance to such a domineering aroma!

"Chris, are you ready?"

"I can't wait to taste it!"

"Chris——"

No matter how his companions called him, Chris stood still.

He remembered the owner's instructions deeply, five minutes, just wait five minutes... Damn, why are these five minutes so long!

When the time came, they didn't want to wait even a second longer. The golden noodles were served in the bowl. They couldn't wait to put the noodles into their mouths, not caring that they were still boiling hot just out of the pot.

The moment they took the noodles into their mouths, everyone's eyes widened.

This... how delicious it is!

The texture is different from any noodles they have eaten before, chewy and elastic. It must be the best quality flour to make such a delicate taste. What's even more delicious is the soup, which seems to be a mixture of hundreds of spices. The rich and complex aroma explodes on the tip of the tongue like a bomb, making people unable to resist. They can't wait to put the food into their stomachs before they have time to taste it carefully.

When they came to their senses, the bowl was empty, with only a few drops of oil and the remaining fragrance between their lips and teeth.

Obviously, there was only ordinary water in the pot, but now, they seemed to taste the flavor of beef in it.

... Magic! There must be a great magician who cast a delicious magic in it!

It turned out that Chris was not lying, he really found a magic shop!

"Chris, when we return to Dore City, I will go with you to find that store... Wait, Chris, what are you doing?" A companion shouted in surprise.

The others subconsciously looked up and saw Chris throwing the monster meat that was supposed to be their dinner into the pot and continued to cook it.

His movements were too fast, and no one could stop him. Seeing the meat floating in the soup, they were heartbroken and could not breathe: "Chris, what are you doing?!"

"I wanted to drink another bowl of soup..."

"You will ruin the taste of instant noodles!"

Chris said firmly: "Instant noodles alone cannot fill our stomachs. Maybe this will make the monster meat more delicious."

Everyone looked at each other and became hesitant.

Yes, although instant noodles are delicious, one pack is not enough to fill you up. Even Irene, who has the smallest appetite among them, is only half full at this moment. Maybe

, maybe... Smelling the fragrance in the air, everyone silently looked forward to it.

While waiting, someone asked: "Erin, you are also a magician, can you cast such a magical spell?"

Erin clenched her fists: "...I told you there is no such magic!"

"But..."

"I don't feel any magic in it at all." Erin shouted: "It's just delicious!"

What? !

There is no magic, and no high-quality monster meat worth hundreds of gold coins per pound. Why is this food called instant noodles so delicious!

Soon, the monster meat in the pot was cooked.

The monster meat, which was originally dry, woody and bitter, was soaked in the soup of instant noodles. Not only did the taste greatly improve, but even the disgusting bitterness was covered by the aroma of the soup. Even the unpalatable monster meat became more delicious after being processed into instant noodles.

It is worthy of being instant noodles!

Everyone held the bowl and made up their minds.

After returning to Dolei City, they must find that store again and buy another pack... No! Use all the money to exchange for instant noodles!

...

Afternoon.

Jiang Li turned the hourglass over and appeared on the shopping street of Dolei City.

But... He looked at the door of Xiao Tiao and couldn't help sighing.

Maybe it was because the magic shop’s high prices were too popular, but when his supermarket appeared on this street, although many passersby curiously poked their heads inside, no one dared to come in. Once they made eye contact with him, those passersby would hide away. Except

for the first day, Jiang Li didn’t wait for the second customer.

Once again scaring off a curious child with his sight, Jiang Li thought helplessly: Maybe he could use the words he just learned to make a sign to show that he is really a small supermarket with good quality and low prices?

...How does the word supermarket appear in the words of the other world?

Jiang Li opened the book resignedly.

Maybe he could print flyers and find people to distribute them to promote himself. I wonder if there is such a business in the other world? However, then again, can the residents of the other world accept industrial products from the earth?

As he was thinking this, an excited voice suddenly came from the door.

"It's here!"

Jiang Li looked up and saw several people standing outside the glass door. Among them was a middle-aged man with brown hair and green eyes wearing armor who looked very familiar. It was Chris, the adventurer customer who visited the supermarket on the first day.

When his eyes met, Chris not only did not run away, but pushed open the door and strode in. Behind him followed several people, who were also dressed in similar clothes. They looked powerful, with muscular bodies and shiny weapons in their hands.

Jiang Li's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that this group of people came to ask him for the five gold coins?

He could explain it!

Jiang Li stood up hurriedly: "Wait, I..."

"Boss!" Chris slammed his hands on the cash register, which scared Jiang Li. Before he could react, he heard him excitedly say: "Please give us more instant noodles!"

Jiang Li: "..."

Jiang Li: "..."

Jiang Li blinked: "...Ah?"

Chris's eyes were shining with eagerness and his cheeks were flushed with ecstasy. Behind him, several other companions were also equally excited and happy.

"That food called instant noodles is so delicious!"

Jiang Li: "..."

"Obviously nothing is added, it's just the simplest boiling, but it can cook such delicious noodles and soup. Even the unpalatable monster meat can become more delicious after being put in it. Although there is no magic, it is more magical than magic!" "After

tasting instant noodles, I miss its taste every day and every night. I have never eaten such delicious food. Even the chef of the palace can never make such amazing food!"

"After returning to Dore City, we have been looking for this store every day, and today, we finally waited for you to show up again!"

Jiang Li was stunned.

Is this really the instant noodles he is familiar with?

But he reacted quickly. According to his previous observations in Dore City, the food of the people in this world is poor. Bread is their staple food, and they mostly eat monster meat. The cooking method is also very rough. In addition to stewing and grilling, the seasoning is also pitiful, which tests the taste of the ingredients themselves.

Although instant noodles have little nutrition and are full of the taste of technology, they are undoubtedly a great shock to the taste buds of the residents of the alien world.

After all, even the well-read earthlings may not be able to resist the temptation of instant noodles in the middle of the night...

Chris took a step back, and his companion who was in charge of finances came forward, carrying a bag of gold coins they had prepared in advance, and solemnly placed it on the cash register.

"This is all our property, we'll take as much as we can..."

"Please sell us that delicious instant noodles!"

The cloth bag was filled with gold coins, and even the opening was overflowing with golden brilliance. When the bag was put down, several gold coins rolled out, rolled around on the cash register, and lay obediently in front of Jiang Li. Behind

the gold coins were the eyes of the residents of the other world full of expectations and hope.

Jiang Li: "..."
