After a moment's hesitation, Tian Shu nodded and said slowly and tentatively, "Yes, I did, but I forgot where I put it."
Hong Xiaoduo was very satisfied with Tian Shu's response, and her smile grew wider.
From the first time she took things out of her space, to the occasional food she took out, and then on New Year's Eve she took out so many big fireworks and firecrackers all at once, Hong Xiaoduo couldn't stop and just felt that it didn't really matter.
Especially when she sees the little ones eating the desserts, pastries, and snacks she takes out, looking so happy and content, she can't help but want to give them some too.
Of course, she'll pamper the kids under her protection; after all, she has such advantages and such resources!
Although each time something was taken out, the children didn't pry into the details, asking questions like when it was bought, where it came from, or why they hadn't seen it bought.
However, they were still young, and Hong Xiaoduo was genuinely unsure whether Brother Quan had given them private instructions or if there was some other reason.
Hong Xiaoduo felt that it would be better for her to find a reliable helper first. As for Tian Shu, she had gone out with him alone last time. On the way there, she gave him eight-treasure porridge, and on the way back, she took out instant noodles from her space for him to eat. That was while they were walking, without stopping, and there were no shops or anything along the way.
After the child ate it, he was clearly very curious, but he managed to refrain from asking any questions.
Therefore, this child is the most suitable helper to cover for her.
Of course, Quan Jinghuai and Feiyan, as adults, must have had doubts about what she took out of her space.
He could have the two of them as his assistants, but none of them were as suitable as Tian Shu.
Quan Jinghuai and Feiyan had doubts, but they never asked her anything. In their adult minds, she was mysterious and had many secrets.
The fact that the children never asked about it made Hong Xiaoduo think that the most likely reason was that, subconsciously, the children were afraid that if they asked something they shouldn't have, she would get angry.
Therefore, they dared not ask.
When interacting with children, it's best to communicate with them using the child's own Tian Shu (a specific astrological concept).
"I think I remember it. Let's go find it. Tianxuan, go to the kitchen and boil some water and a big bowl for noodles. Wait for us." After making the arrangements, Hong Xiaoduo led Tianshu towards the stables.
As Hong Xiaoduo's economic situation improved, they now had several carriages and horses. The group's clothing and demeanor improved, and they no longer had to stay in dormitory rooms at inns. Even if they didn't stay in the luxurious top-class rooms, they still stayed in the best rooms.
Like the inn I'm staying at today, it's a bit like a modern guesthouse, with a separate little courtyard, and luggage and other belongings right next to the guest rooms.
Tian Shu followed Hong Xiaoduo to the side of the carriage and stood there waiting. He didn't intend to get on the train and search for anything. Hong Xiaoduo suppressed a laugh and got into a carriage. She took eleven packs of instant noodles from her spatial storage. She took an extra pack because she was afraid that Quan Jinghuai wouldn't be full with just one pack.
We got Jinmailang knife-cut noodles, and since the other nine of them can handle spicy food like her, they chose the spicy beef flavor. We'll arrange other brands and flavors later.
Although Hong Xiaoduo is no longer in the modern era, her patriotism remains unchanged despite being in a different time and space. She even told Old Man Luo that it would be best to prepare domestically produced goods.
The instant noodles were out of the space, and the plastic packaging was gone. In Hong Xiaoduo's hand was a large bag made of blue floral cotton cloth, which was common in this era. Instead of round or square noodles, it contained dried noodles tied in bunches with Malan flower leaves.
The seasoning packets are also in small paper packets, labeled as vegetable packet, sauce packet, and diced meat packet.
Hong Xiaoduo looked at the instant noodles in the cotton bag, now disguised, and her lips twitched.
Tian Shu, who was waiting outside the carriage, saw her come out and took the floral cotton bag she was carrying. He thought to himself that he hadn't seen this when he was packing his luggage.
If he really had to go in to look for it, it would have to be because she had 'found' it beforehand and left it there.
This time, the noodles weren't already cooked. Well, that makes sense. They brought out bowls, ten bowls, of steaming hot noodles directly from the carriage. In a guesthouse with so many people and eyes, my younger siblings can manage on their own, but it wouldn't be good to attract the attention of outsiders.
Tian Shu didn't want to cause her any unnecessary trouble, even though he knew she was very capable.
However, Tian Shu had already realized that he was now Hong Xiaoduo's confidant. She hadn't called anyone else; choosing him was a sign of her trust and approval.
Therefore, Tian Shu felt his heart beating faster at this moment, and he was very excited and happy.
They soon arrived at the kitchen in the courtyard. Because there were many people, Tianji and Yuheng took care of washing the dishes and boiling water. Tianxuan even fried some eggs very carefully.
Hearing the noise at the door, I looked up and saw Hong Xiaoduo and Tian Shu had returned. Tian Shu was carrying a cloth bag. Was this the kind of dough that doesn't need to be rolled out?
Feiyan stepped forward to take over from Tianxuan and continue frying the eggs, while Tianxuan listened to Hong Xiaoduo teach her how to cook the noodles.
The noodles are readily available—dry, wide, and seasoned, and so on.
"These noodles are already cooked, so they don't need to be cooked for too long, and then..." Hong Xiaoduo reminded her again before sitting down at the large round table to wait.
Just then, Yao Guang came running to Hong Xiaoduo's side; "Mom, this noodle isn't cooked yet, but it's ready to eat, and it smells delicious." As she spoke, she opened her mouth to show her.
Hong Xiaoduo reached out and scooped the little girl into her arms, tapping her nose and saying, "The noodles are cooked, of course you can eat them."
Quan Jinghuai, who was sitting at the table, watched his disciples gather around the pot. He watched his second disciple cook noodles. The noodles were not even cooked yet, but the aroma of beef filled the air.
They quickly started ladling noodles into large bowls over there, Tianji and Yuheng, and began bringing the noodles over here.
Looking at the large bowl of noodles in front of him, which smelled even more delicious, Quan Jinghuai glanced at Hong Xiaoduo. She always managed to get some novel and delicious food.
Tianxuan quickly brought over her noodles and said as she reached the table, "There's still some in the pot. Anyone who needs more can get more."
"Hurry up and try it, see how it tastes. Don't just look at it, you won't get full just by smelling it," Hong Xiaoduo urged everyone with a smile.
Tian Shu looked at the noodles, which were different from the ones he had eaten last time, and laughed along.
Everyone picked up a noodle, blew on it, and started eating. As soon as the noodles entered their mouths, they all widened their eyes and nodded, exclaiming how delicious it was!
Jinmailang's non-fried knife-cut noodles have a chewy texture, thick noodles that absorb the sauce well, and become more fragrant the more you chew, making them very satisfying to eat. The spicy broth is rich and flavorful, and the beef chunks are large and have a prominent aroma. Tianxuan felt that she had been too clever by frying an egg.
As Tianxuan ate, she pondered whether she should ask her later if she could help her find a recipe for this noodle dish.
Hong Xiaoduo was thinking that tomorrow they would be arriving in Qicheng, the place Brother Quan had mentioned where information could be bought...
