Elder Lin’s wife boiled a large pot of water, poured all eight packets of instant noodles into the pot, and peeled some potatoes according to the number of people they had.

Elder Lin’s wife muttered unhappily, “It’s eight copper coins for a bowl of noodles, but there’s not even a piece of meat.”

Elder Lin stared straight at the pot. “They said that the meat has been mixed into the ingredient pack. If there’s no meat, how can this soup be so fragrant?’

The rich fragrance of noodles kept entering Elder Lin’s wife’s nostrils. She still couldn’t help but mutter, “It’s fragrant, but it’s too expensive.”

Five bowls costing 140 copper coins would allow them to buy several catties of brown rice.

Under everyone’s expectant gazes, the instant noodles were finally cooked. Elder Lin personally scooped a bowl of instant noodles for himself. Without waiting for everyone, he started sucking.

His eyes lit up. He didn’t have time to exclaim at how fragrant the noodles were. He took another big bite.

From the old man’s expression, one could tell that this noodles must be very delicious.

Everyone took their own bowls of noodles and took a bite. Lin Lei said in disbelief, “Father, it’s delicious!”

When he didn’t get a response, he looked up and saw that everyone was too busy sucking on their noodles to talk to him.

As for the other migrants around them, they were gnawing on the cold rations distributed by the government, their eyes filled with envy.

If only they could have a bowl of steaming instant noodles too.

Unknowingly, these people engraved the words “instant noodles” in their minds and swore that they would eat until they vomited when they had money.

Elder Lin ate two big bowls in one go and instructed, “Old lady, add more water and some dry noodles. It’s a pity to waste the bowl of instant noodles that cost eight copper coins per bowl like this. ‘

Elder Lin’s wife had experienced the taste of instant noodles and did not object. She added another spoonful of water and a few handfuls of dried noodles.

There was not much soup left in the pot to begin with. After adding water, dry noodles were added instead of the instant noodles. The fragrance was greatly reduced, and the noodles were not chewy. The soup taste was also much more bland.

Elder Lin couldn’t help but complain, “You added too much water!”

Elder Lin’s wife said resentfully, “If I don’t add in more water, how can I cook the noodles?”

Elder Lin was speechless. He looked at the instant noodles stall again. He had eaten instant noodles that day and did not know when he could eat them again.

With a sigh, he finished the bland soup and closed his eyes to savor it.

Not only were there ordinary migrants going to the Southern Frontier, but there were also caravans that were trying to occupy the Southern Frontier’s market like Yu Suisheng.

The caravan smelled a tantalizing fragrance from afar.

This smell made Zhu Qi, who had eaten all kinds of delicacies before, curious about what kind of food it was.

Zhu Qi brought the caravan to the instant noodles stall. When he saw so many people carrying simple bowls of noodles and eating them, he was even more puzzled. How could an ordinary-looking bowl of noodles smell so good?

Zhu Qi alighted from the carriage, and the escorts guarding the caravan also dismounted. They asked the stall owners to give them a bowl each.

The young man listed several flavors in one go. “Sir, we have fragrant and spicy flavor, braised pork ribs flavor, scallions and pork ribs flavor, stewed chicken with mushroom flavor, pickled vegetables and refreshing garlic flavor. Which flavor do you want?

Zhu Qi was stunned. He did not expect there to be so many flavors.

What was even stranger was that there were only two stoves for boiling water. He thought for a moment. “I’ll have braised pork ribs flavor.”

The young man smiled professionally. “Alright, please take it. Just fetch hot water over there. ‘

The young man handed him a clean wooden bowl containing a dry noodle piece with some red sauce on it.

Zhu Qi was a little confused. “Where are the ribs? Aren’t you going to cook them?” He looked like he was questioning whether the noodles could be considered braised pork ribs noodles.

The young man chuckled. “Sir, you might not know this, but our noodles are also called instant noodles. You can eat them directly after soaking them in water.”

“I emphasized just now that it tastes like braised pork ribs. Although there are no pork ribs, our secret formula is definitely made of special pork ribs. I guarantee that after eating it once, you will want to eat it a second time.”

Zhu Qi’s lips twitched. It was eight copper coins for a bowl of instant noodles. , yet it did not contain much, this was too much. It made him want to set up a stall here too.

He was not so vicious. He would sell clear soup noodles for five copper coins instead of eight.

Since he had already bought them, Zhu Qi filled the kettle with water and covered it with a wooden board. The servant beside him thoughtfully bought two tea eggs for him.

The servant peeled the tea egg and handed it to Zhu Qi. He said ingratiatingly, “Master, this egg is called tea egg. Try it.”

Zhu Qi picked up the egg in confusion and stared at it. Suddenly, the corners of his mouth curled up. “Tea eggs, instant noodles. The stall owner is a little heartless but the name of the food is not bad.”

After Zhu Qi finished complaining, he reluctantly put the tea egg into his mouth.

With one bite, the fragrance of the tea leaves and the stewed sauce seeped in. The ordinary eggs instantly tasted different.

Zhu Qi’s eyes widened in disbelief. He had never expected to be able to eat such delicious food on this rural road.

If he bought the formula and sold it in his restaurant, he would definitely be able to earn a lot of money.

Zhu Qi’s eyes lit up as he took bite after bite of the tea egg, making the servants beside him wonder. What was going on? Wasn’t he quite disdainful just now? Why did he look like he hadn’t eaten for ten days?

“Cough...”

Zhu Qi ate too quickly and coughed twice. The servants quickly poured him water.

Realizing that the tea eggs were good stuff, Zhu Qi shifted his gaze to the bowl of instant noodles, his eyes filled with antic.i.p.ation.

He estimated that the instant noodles were almost ready, so he took off the wooden board.

The rich fragrance of noodles rushed into his nostrils. Zhu Qi took a deep breath and praised, “It really smells like braised pork ribs!”

He took a sip of the soup first. In an instant, it was as if the top of his head had been opened and many braised pork ribs noodles surged in.

Zhu Qi’s eyes widened in disbelief as he took a deep breath of the noodles.

The instant noodles were strong, refreshing, and chewy.

Zhu Qi did not expect the soup to be so delicious. Even the shape and texture of the noodles were so shocking!

He finished a bowl of instant noodles and urged the young man, ‘Give me another bowl of pickled vegetable noodles!”

As the young man filled his bowl with noodles, he smiled and said, “1 knew it.

You will definitely want another bowl after eating.”

Zhu Qi did not deny that his mind was filled with instant noodles!!!

The cook who developed instant noodles and tea leaves must have outstanding skills. Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to develop such delicious food.

Zhu Qi couldn’t help but ask, “Where’s your boss?”

The young man seemed to be used to being asked questions. He smiled and said, “Forget it if you want to buy the formula. Our master doesn’t lack money.

He definitely won’t sell it. ‘

Zhu Qi said confidently, “It must be that the others didn’t give enough money! ‘ In the next second, he took out 10 banknotes from his pocket.. “1,000 taels, call your boss over!
