Chapter 62 Killing the Salt Seller



At the same time, Jiang Tiecheng had just entered the dugout when he heard someone knocking on the door.

"Come in!"

Jiang Tiecheng added firewood to the stove while pouring water into the pot.

He had been busy all day and hadn't even had a chance to eat.

On such a cold day, I really want to eat a hot meal.

The door opened, and Chen Ruixue carefully carried in a lunchbox, using a wool scarf as a cushion.

“Brother Jiang, you just got back. I bet you haven’t eaten yet. I made some noodles. You can make do with this for now.”

Jiang Tiecheng hurriedly took it.

"When did you cook this? Don't you say you can't cook?"

Seriously, his plan to cook together with Chen Ruixue didn't work out at all. A couple of days ago, he sent all of Chen Ruixue's noodles back to her.

The main problem is that when working on construction sites, everyone eats in the canteen and has no time to cook at home.

I had time to cook these past couple of days, but I was busy with other things.

"Brother Jiang, you shouldn't underestimate people."

Judging people with outdated perspectives? Can't I learn something if I don't know it?

You weren't born knowing how to cook.

Chen Ruixue was a little unconvinced and quietly hid her hand behind her back.

Jiang Tiecheng's sharp gaze immediately spotted Wen Dao.

"What happened to your hand? There's tape on it."

Chen Ruixue said evasively,

"It's nothing, nothing at all."

You can't exactly say you got burned by the pot while cooking.

It's a little embarrassing; it took her a lot of effort to make this bowl of noodle soup.

He looked at Jiang Tiecheng with a pleading expression and said,

"Brother Jiang, would you like to try my noodle soup? Is it delicious?"

She had tried this pot before, and it tasted pretty good.

Jiang Tiecheng couldn't very well just grab the girl's hand and glance at her.

This is also inappropriate; he originally wanted to keep his distance from Chen Ruixue.

A warmth welled up in my heart; Chen Ruixue was, in fact, a spoiled brat.

She's truly someone who never lifts a finger, so it must have taken her quite a bit of effort to make this bowl of noodle soup for herself.

He opened the lunchbox lid and saw a box full of noodles. He was stunned for a moment. Not only was he stunned, but Chen Ruixue was also stunned.

It probably took a while to cook, because the noodles had clumped together after absorbing the broth.

There was no soup in the lunchbox, just a big lump of noodles.

It looked deathly pale, and although there were some oil droplets on it, the oil only made the lump of dough look even worse.

There were two fried eggs on top, but those two fried eggs were in a worse state.

The yolks had all broken apart, and the egg whites were just a large, wiry mass.

The noodles were sparsely covered with egg whites and yolks.

A normal person would probably be speechless upon seeing the food in this lunchbox.

"Brother Jiang, this... I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

Chen Ruixue was almost in tears. The noodle soup she had made looked and smelled delicious.

Now it's turned into this huge lump, it's a terrible sight to behold.

Even he himself felt nauseous looking at her, let alone Jiang Tiecheng.

Chen Ruixue hurriedly reached out to take the lunchbox.

"Brother Jiang, I... I'll make it for you again."

Seeing Chen Ruixue about to extend her hand, Jiang Tiecheng quickly stopped her.

Regardless, the girl's intentions were good; she looked so anxious she was almost in tears.

Jiang Tiecheng would never stoop to the level of picking a fight with a girl.

He said with a smile.

"Oh dear, why redo it?"

This is white noodles with an egg inside. It's such good noodles, it wouldn't be right to waste it. I love eating this kind of dried noodles.

How did you know I like this kind of food?

I stirred it with my chopsticks and breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, I hadn't completely absorbed all the broth. With a little stirring, the noodles separated.

However, because the noodles absorbed too much water, they broke into pieces as soon as the chopsticks touched them.

To avoid embarrassing Chen Ruixue, he quickly picked up the lunchbox.

He shoveled it directly into his mouth.

Jiang Tiecheng almost spat out a mouthful of noodles as soon as it entered his mouth.

This is about beating the salt seller to death.

Salt was already added when making the noodles, but Chen Ruixue probably didn't know that she added salt to the noodle soup.

You might not be able to taste it when it first boils, but now that all the broth has been absorbed into the noodles, they taste incredibly salty.

Seeing that Jiang Tiecheng's expression was a bit off, Chen Ruixue immediately asked.

"Brother Jiang, is it because the noodles aren't good?"

"Forget it, you shouldn't eat it. You've worked all day."

"You're so tired, this noodle soup won't do when you get back. I'll make you something new."

"Brother Jiang, give me the lunchbox."

Chen Ruixue didn't know what the problem was, but she realized it was probably not a good thing.

Jiang Tiecheng waved his hand with a smile and said vaguely,

"Oh, it's delicious! I love this kind of noodles."

Okay, okay, no need to redo it.

Could I borrow my thermos to fill up some hot water at your place and bring it back?

I wasn't home all day, and the thermos was empty.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ruixue immediately jumped up, grabbed his thermos, and headed outside.

"Brother Jiang, wait a moment, I'll go boil some water. Just wait a little while."

It flew back to its nest as happily as a little bird.

Jiang Tiecheng breathed a sigh of relief after the person left.

He hurriedly ladled boiling water from his own pot.

I poured the noodles directly into a ladle, rinsed them once, poured out all the water, and then poured the noodles back into the lunchbox.

I took a bite of the noodles. Although they were tasteless at this moment, they were much better than the extremely salty ones from before.

Of course, these noodles don't taste very good right now.

Not only did it crumble into tiny pieces, but it was also like chewing paste.

Fortunately, this way of eating is fast, saving you from having to bite.

When Chen Ruixue came in, she saw that Jiang Tiecheng had already put the last bite of noodles into his mouth.

With a joyful smile in his eyes, he hadn't expected his noodles to be so popular with Brother Jiang.

"Brother Jiang, have you eaten yet? I still have a bowl of noodles."

Jiang Tiecheng almost spat out the noodles in his mouth and coughed repeatedly.

Eating another bowl of noodles would kill me.

"No...no...no need, I'm too full."

Chen Ruixue felt a little regretful. She put down the thermos and watched Jiang Tiecheng hand her the washed lunchbox. She was reluctant to leave.

"Brother Jiang, I heard you got an order to make quilts for our production team. Why don't you let us educated youth join in?"

She's no ordinary girl.

The more Jiang Tiecheng rejected her, the more determined she became to fight.

And he increasingly believed that Jiang Tiecheng was the truly upright and selfless person.

Look at her, she knows she's no ordinary person. She's met her brother several times, but she just won't try to get close to him. She even deliberately keeps her distance.

Compared to those educated youths like He Junsheng who would fawn over him whenever they had nothing else to do, Brother Jiang was a real man.
