Chapter 13 Delicious Instant Noodles and Ham
"General Guo, these are all things from my descendants. This is mineral water, drinkable directly, no need to boil it again."
This is instant noodles; you just need to soak it in hot water or boil it.
After adding all the seasonings, it's ready to eat. It's very convenient, very filling, and tastes great.
"And I also have compressed biscuits here. Eating a little bit will keep an adult male from feeling hungry for a long time."
As Gu Xinyan spoke, she took out a compressed biscuit from her spatial ring.
Guo Xin: "........."
He felt like there was something wrong with his eyes. How could three strange things suddenly appear in front of him?
Moreover, the style of these three items was very strange; he had never seen them in the Tang Dynasty or the Western Regions before. Could it be that the woman in front of him was really from the future?
Also, where did she take these things from? He was watching her the whole time, but he didn't see her make any move.
Guo Xin was puzzled, but just as he was wondering, Gu Xinyan opened the cup of instant noodles in front of her.
Then he took out a kettle and a ham from his spatial ring.
She had specially put this kettle into her spatial ring because she was afraid that if she were to transmigrate to a trash planet like G5588 again, it would be troublesome to cook a meal or something.
So I specially filled two large kettles with hot water, just in case, so that I could make instant noodles if I had nothing to eat.
This is both convenient and hassle-free. I just didn't expect to use it so soon. The ham was brought out specifically because how can you eat instant noodles without a good accompaniment?
Thinking this, Gu Xinyan opened all the seasoning packets and the ham and poured them in.
He then poured hot water into the instant noodle cup, and after that, he put the lid on. Only after completing this series of actions did he look at Guo Xin across from him.
"General Guo, this instant noodles will be ready to eat in a little while. It needs to soak for a bit longer now, so you can have a good taste of it later. It's very popular in our time!"
Guo Xin nodded upon hearing this, though he didn't know what was going on.
But at that moment he could smell an enticing aroma wafting from that colorful bucket.
His stomach, which hadn't been full from lunch, started rumbling and rebelling.
Although the voice wasn't loud, Gu Xinyan was sitting right across from him and could hear it clearly.
However, she did not show any unusual expression; on the contrary, she admired the person in front of her very much.
After all, according to historical records, without the support of the imperial court, the Anxi Army is now self-sufficient.
The patch of land with sparse crops that she had just seen was, without a doubt, cultivated by the Anxi army themselves.
It's no wonder they were starving; it was already quite an achievement to be able to grow food on such a desolate land.
While waiting, Gu Xinyan's thoughts drifted back to historical accounts of the Anxi Army.
As time went by, the aroma wafting from the bucket grew stronger and stronger.
Seeing that the noodles were almost ready, Gu Xinyan opened the lid, stirred them with a fork, and then handed them to Guo Xin.
"General Guo, please try it. Does this instant noodle taste as delicious as I described?"
Seeing this, Guo Xin hesitated for a moment, then took it, looking at the tempting instant noodles in the bucket in front of him, and the strangely shaped fork.
He imitated Gu Xinyan's actions, using a fork to pick up a bit of instant noodles and put it in his mouth.
The moment she entered the mouth, Guo Xin's eyes widened involuntarily, and her face was filled with disbelief.
This flavor...this flavor...it's absolutely delicious! It's savory and fragrant with a touch of spiciness, but the spiciness is just right.
And that chewy, bouncy ham... this is actually meat? It tastes quite different from regular meat.
Guo Xin was so engrossed in eating that he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "How could there be such delicious food in this world!"
When he was young, he had tasted the dishes from every restaurant in Chang'an.
But this thing called instant noodles tasted like something he had never tasted before, and the texture was also different from all the food he had eaten before. It was delicious, really delicious!
He had never tasted such delicious food since he took office as the commander of the Anxi army.
Sometimes when they won a battle, they would use the spoils of war to treat themselves, but with so many people in the army, each person didn't get much.
Not to mention that the imperial court is not providing them with any support at all. They are already lucky to have enough to eat every day, let alone think about eating well.
At this moment, he finally began to believe what Gu Xinyan had said before.
After all, the magical ability to conjure items out of thin air, the clothes she was wearing, and the delicious instant noodles were all things they didn't have here.
And another thing! This woman in front of me might actually be from the future.
Thinking this, he finished all the instant noodles in the bucket, leaving not even a drop of soup.
Looking at the empty instant noodle cup I had just finished eating, my stomach felt like a bottomless pit, still growling loudly.
Guo Xin was a little embarrassed. He licked his lips and looked at Gu Xinyan with disbelief in his eyes.
"Um... Miss Gu, this instant noodles are absolutely delicious! The flavor is amazing. I wonder if you have any more? I'd like to buy some!"
Hearing this, Gu Xinyan pursed her lips and suppressed her smile. She could tell that he probably hadn't eaten enough instant noodles, since soldiers usually have big appetites.
Besides, instant noodles are popular everywhere. After all, who can resist such a convenient, quick, and delicious food?
"General Guo, I'm glad you like it. I have plenty here, and many different flavors too."
The one you just ate was spicy. We also have pickled cabbage and beef noodles, pickled pepper flavor, and various other flavors of dry noodles...
As Gu Xinyan spoke, she took out several buckets of instant noodles from her spatial ring and placed them in front of Guo Xin, explaining to him what flavor each type of instant noodle was.
Guo Xin was feeling dizzy from listening to all this, but her eyes remained fixed on the pile of instant noodles on the table.
