It was the first time for Gu Qingli to have such an interesting and lively New Year. After the barbecue, she walked briskly back to her room with the spicy snack gift bag given to them by Grandpa Jiang.
She was walking in front, and her elder brother, Wen Yanxuan, was following behind, holding the sleepy twins.
It was the first time that Brother Wen saw his lover act so childishly. He felt very amused in his heart, but he did not show it on his face.
He looked similar to Wen Yanqing, though his elder brother, Wen Yanxuan, was more imposing. Because of his work, he, like his father, was accustomed to a blank expression. However, his usually eagle-like eyes were now filled with a smile, and under the moonlight, his stern face seemed much softer.
Gu Qingli returned to the room and opened the gift bag of spicy strips. It was all red and arranged in different categories.
Although she had just eaten a lot, the spicy smell in front of her was very appetizing. Even though she didn't like spicy food very much, she couldn't help but try it.
As soon as she took a bite, her taste buds were instantly captured by the strong spicy taste. The spiciness was mixed with a hint of sweetness, and it tasted somewhat fresh. The gluten was very chewy, and the more she chewed, the more fragrant it became. The gluten and the spicy taste were perfectly integrated together. Even after chewing it many times, it still had flavor, which was really amazing.
Unfortunately, she couldn't eat spicy food, so after eating one, she quickly drank water to reduce the spiciness.
Just then, Wen Yanxuan came back from the twins' room.
It was rare for him to see Gu Qingli wolfing down her food, and he was both surprised and worried: "Did she swallow it all?"
Gu Qingli shook her head, suppressed the spicy taste and explained: "No, I just drank too fast."
Wen Yanxuan nodded, and suddenly his eyes were attracted by the spicy strips in front of her: "What is this?"
"Spicy food, what's it called? Latiao."
"Spicy?" Wen Yanxuan swallowed, "Did Mr. Jiang give it to you just now?"
Gu Qingli nodded.
"Didn't you dislike your sister-in-law before you came back? You also didn't have a good impression of her family. But today I saw that you two were getting along quite well, and..."
The smile on Gu Qingli's lips froze, and then she gently interrupted him: "That's not true." She smiled in a standard way and pushed the spicy strips in front of Wen Yanxuan: "Try this, it tastes good."
Wen Yanxuan was led astray by her and picked up a spicy strip and put it in his mouth.
He didn't expect that the taste of spicy strips could be so wonderful. It was not purely salty, but a rich combination of spicy, numb, sweet, fragrant and pungent tastes. The surface of the gluten was soaked in chili oil, and the spicy taste plus the aroma of spices made it very chewy.
His eyes lit up: "Not bad, not bad, it tastes very good. It would be even better if it were spicier."
After chewing one, he stopped and asked, "Wife, I remember you can't eat spicy food, so you won't eat this?"
Gu Qingli glanced at him and knew what he was thinking. She couldn't eat much anyway, so she just gave it to him and nodded.
Wen Yanxuan took another one and savored it carefully before saying, "When we get back, we'll ask Mr. Jiang to order more. This way, we can warm ourselves up outdoors in the middle of winter."
"Although wine can also warm the body, it's a bit expensive. This spicy strip not only warms the body, but is also delicious."
Seeing that her lover was still thinking about work during the holidays, Gu Qingli certainly would not hold him back and took the initiative to take on the task.
The next day, Jiang Yu had just finished practicing Ba Duan Jin and was walking into the house. She was about to pack up and go visit relatives and friends with Wen Yanqing. As a result, she ran into Brother Wen and was almost knocked to the ground by his shock.
Wen Yanxuan drank porridge that morning, but his mouth felt bland, so he went back to his room and chewed a spicy noodle. He had been in the team for so long that he no longer cared about his table manners.
What's more, he was very interested in spicy strips and felt that chewing spicy strips was much better than eating buns in his hands, so he chewed the spicy strips calmly and prepared to visit relatives and friends with his wife and children.
A stern man with a face darker than the dean's was chewing spicy strips with relish, his face revealing a serious expression of savoring and careful appreciation. The scene was so beautiful that Jiang Yu could hardly bear to look at it...
When Wen Yanxuan saw Jiang Yu, he quickly swallowed the spicy strips and greeted Jiang Yu in a stern tone. He exuded an aura of majesty without anger, and looked more like the head teacher who patrolled early in the morning to catch students who were late for morning self-study during his school days.
After he left, Jiang Yu stood there for a long time, unable to recover.
The image of Brother Wen and his equally gloomy teammates chatting about serious topics while chewing spicy noodles emerged in her mind. She couldn't help but shudder. It was too scary.
Happy times always pass by quickly, and before we know it, the Spring Festival holiday is over.
Leader Xiao felt bad at the thought of leaving.
He hadn't spent much time with his grandchildren before, so he could still control himself. But now that they have been together for so many days, he doesn't want to leave at all.
So he secretly swore in his heart that he would find a way to transfer back to Beijing this year no matter what.
Not only Leader Xiao was in a bad mood about leaving Beijing, but also the two little guys Wen Zizhao.
They had a great time eating with Jiang Yu these days. Even their mother was completely conquered by Jiang Yu's cooking skills, just like them.
Thinking about leaving soon, the two little guys were listless and unhappy.
Seeing this, Jiang Yu thought that on their way back by train they would either have to eat dry food or the extremely expensive and unpalatable boxed meals on the train.
So I thought of making some portable and easy-to-make food for them.
How can you make a delicious, fragrant and portable dish using only hot water?
That must be the instant noodles that are loved by the general public.
There are many kinds of convenience foods, such as red oil noodles, dry noodles, and blanket noodles. In addition to noodles, there are also instant vermicelli, which can be eaten by boiling or soaking in hot water.
But when it comes to convenience foods, none of them can compare to the most popular convenience food pioneer - instant noodles.
Instant noodles are different from the above-mentioned convenience foods. Its noodles are fried. After soaking and boiling, they become tougher and more fragrant. If there is no hot water, you can eat them dry as crispy noodles. The taste is no less than snacks, and they can be preserved longer after frying.
She just did it as soon as she thought of it. Since she was not skilled, she planned to make some first to taste it. If it tasted good, she would ask everyone to help.
Jiang Yu asked Wen Yanqing to help knead the dough, and then made the noodles into long, thin shapes. Then he put them into the pot and cooked them. After they were cooked, he took them out and rinsed them with water and drained them. When the noodles were almost dry, Jiang Yu poured a large amount of oil into the pot, heated it, and put the noodles in.
Because this requires a lot of skill in cooking, it is easy to over-fry if you are not careful, resulting in a bitter taste, so Jiang Yu did it himself.
With a loud "swish", the aroma of oil filled the air.
