"Stop making a fuss,"
Qin Qinghuai casually rolled up the sleeves of his shirt.
"You eat, give me the food, I'll cook it myself."
He simply turned around, pulled out two packets from behind his back, and handed them over without even flinching.
"Here it is. Boil a big bowl of water, put the noodles and seasonings in, you can add poached eggs, and you can also add vegetables. Finally, add some green onions and cilantro."
Qin Qinghuai listened to the rambling conversation. Aside from not needing to stir-fry the noodles, and the noodles and seasonings being readily available, the process was similar to cooking noodles. He looked through the package: a transparent bag, wavy noodles, and several seasoning packets, but none were labeled. However, this combination seemed vaguely familiar.
"This is... instant noodles?"
"Huh? You know?"
Jian Dan wasn't really aware of this period of time, nor did she know when instant noodles had appeared. She stopped eating and listened to Qin Qinghuai speak.
"Really?"
This thing appeared abroad a few years ago, and later it was occasionally seen in Beijing. It is said to be very convenient, but at that time I was not in good health and my meals were arranged for me. Later, I spent most of my time in the army, and I only heard about it from them when I went back, but I didn't pay much attention to it.
But wasn't this thing supposed to be very convenient?
If it were like cooking noodles, it wouldn't be that exaggerated.
"Why!"
He simply and decisively took the bowl, tore open the package containing the bread, noodles, vegetables, seasoning packet, and sauce packet, then poured boiling water into it from the thermos. White steam billowed up, and an inexplicable aroma directly stimulated Qin Qinghuai's sense of smell.
He sneezed twice suddenly, and even after closing the lid, the lingering smell in the air still made him a little dazed.
"Is that all?"
He simply picked up his chopsticks and continued slurping his noodles.
"It's called instant noodles, also known as ramen. Soaking it is the simplest way to eat it. Wait five minutes, then try it and see if you like it. There are other flavors as well."
Upon hearing this, the long-legged man took three steps in two and sat down opposite Jian Dan in the blink of an eye, staring intently at the large bowl.
"Are there other flavors?"
He paused briefly. Looking at him like this, he hardly resembled a political commissar.
He pushed his bowl forward a little.
"Why don't you try mine first?"
This is boiled. I like persimmons, so I chopped them into small pieces, sautéed them until they released their juices, added water and brought it to a boil, then added seasonings. If you like vegetables, you can add some torn pieces of greens. Finally, I added flatbread. Mine is a bit more complicated, but I can add a lot of things. And this soup is delicious, you should try it.
Qin Qinghuai really didn't stand on ceremony. He took the bowl and drank a mouthful of soup. Unfortunately, what slid to his lips was not only the chewy noodles, but also two bright red prawns.
"You like this dish?"
His eyes were strange, and when he simply peeked out, he was stunned.
