The waiter scooped a small chopstick into the tea bowl.
This was Li Mumu's idea.
If you use an ordinary bowl, you put less, and the guests will think you are stingy.
There is only such a small chopstick in such a big bowl,
which makes the noodles look even smaller. But if you put too much, can it be called a tasting?
One bowl is enough to make you full.
So just use a tea bowl to hold the tasting noodles. A small chopstick can hold most of the bowl, and add some soup, it will be a full bowl of noodles.
The waiter gave each of the guests who came to watch a bowl, "Everyone, try it first, we also have a meat sauce that goes well with anything. Scoop a spoonful and put it in the noodles, it will taste even better."
So, everyone was reluctant to eat it all in one bite, so they tasted it first.
Then they asked the waiter to serve them some meat sauce and mix it in the noodles, and took another bite.
"Delicious, both are delicious!"
"Without meat sauce, it tastes lighter, and with meat sauce, the sauce flavor is more intense."
"How long can this be stored?"
Because the packaging is not sealed enough, it does not have a long shelf life like modern instant noodles.
The time given by Li Mumu is relatively conservative, so the waiter said: "Instant noodles are not restricted by seasons and can be stored for about half a month. Keep the meat sauce in a sealed bottle. It can be stored for several months in winter, and one or two months in summer."
"How much is this instant noodle?" someone asked.
"Instant noodles cost one cent per bag." The waiter said, "Meat sauce costs one cent per bottle."
"The price of this noodle is really good." Someone was surprised that a bowl of noodles at the stall cost seven or eight cents, "I see you have another pack here, with vegetables and meat?"
"Yes, although not much, but it can also enhance the flavor." The waiter said.
When everyone heard this, this was more suitable.
Seven or eight cents outside, but you can only eat a bowl of plain noodles.
Although they didn't have much chance to travel far, as the waiter said, if he was too lazy to cook at home, or if he made his wife angry and she didn't cook, he could still make himself some instant noodles.
So everyone bought a few packs and took a bottle of meat sauce with them.
On the day of the provincial examination, the candidates had been looking forward to seeing Gu Baiyuan eating noodles for several days.
Finally, when the instant noodles started to be sold, some of them came to Gu's snacks to buy them. Some people
went to the registration point and wanted the waiter to buy some and send them to their homes or the academy. Unexpectedly, they could buy them at the registration point, and they also came with instructions for use. It was really thoughtful, so they bought a lot and took them back.
Dajiang and others went to Wuwei, and Li Mumu asked a waiter from the errand shop to take some instant noodles to the military camp for Gu Shangqing.
"These are newly developed by Madam, called instant noodles. Madam asked me to bring some over for the generals to try." The waiter said, "Madam also said that the generals can try whether they can be used as food during the march. If so, Madam can provide the recipe to the army." Gu
Shangqing knew about this because he also went to send Gu Baiyuan to the exam and knew that Gu Baiyuan brought this instant noodles.
But he himself had not eaten it yet.
He rushed home in the dark the night before Gu Baiyuan went to the exam and missed eating instant noodles that night.
But he knew how to eat it.
It's just that he had never eaten it, so he didn't have a particularly specific understanding, and naturally didn't think that he could eat it during the march.
But he didn't expect that Li Mumu would take the initiative to take it out. He
even provided the recipe instead of selling it to the army.
Gu Shangqing was excited, and Li Mumu had a great sense of justice in his heart!
He even wanted to go home immediately and take a good look at Li Mumu.
"General, is there anything I need to bring to Madam?" The waiter saw Gu Shangqing's expression and knew that he was very moved.
Yes, who wouldn't be moved if they have such a lady?
This instant noodle was just launched today and the business is booming.
With such a booming business, Li Mumu said that he would give it to the army.
It's all for the soldiers.
Originally, when they were marching, if conditions allowed, they could use a big pot to cook some hot food.
If conditions did not allow, they could only eat dry food.
In the future, with this instant noodle, even when conditions did not allow, they could still eat some hot soup and hot noodles.
The clerk thought about it and was happy for the soldiers.
This was all Li Mumu thought of for them.
Li Mumu didn't have to do this at all.
After knowing what Li Mumu did, the clerks in the errand shop were all devoted to Li Mumu. They
even warned each other that no one was allowed to do anything to let Li Mumu down.
Gu Shangqing opened his mouth, thinking about what he wanted to say to Li Mumu, it sounded too strange to be relayed from someone else's mouth, so he said: "No, you go back and tell the lady, I'll go back in the evening."
"Yes." The clerk smiled and agreed, and left.
Gu Shangqing went directly to General Shang's tent and called Zhu Yaoming and Huang Kexiao.
General Shang asked quickly: "They are both here, can you tell me now? You are keeping me in suspense and have to wait for them to come and tell me together."
"Isn't this to avoid having to tell me twice?" Gu Shangqing smiled and took out the instant noodles. "This is a new food my wife has introduced, called instant noodles."
Gu Shangqing unwrapped the oil paper package. In addition to a square noodle cake, there were two small oil paper packages.
Gu Shangqing unwrapped the two small oil paper packages.
One package contained powder, and the other contained dehydrated vegetables and meat slices.
There were not many meat slices, just two thin slices the size of a thumb.
After all, it was sold for three cents a serving, and the cost was there.
Even so, it was much more conscientious than the small pieces of meat in the instant noodles of later generations.
"What is this package?" Huang Kexiao looked like vegetables, but he was not sure.
"This is dried and dehydrated cabbage, and this is fried meat slices." Gu Shangqing said, "General, can you please have someone bring four bowls, four plates that are larger than the mouth of the bowl, and boil a pot of hot water?"
General Shang nodded and sent someone away.
After a while, someone came in with a pot of hot water, four bowls, four plates, and four pairs of chopsticks.
Gu Shangqing put the noodles, seasoning powder and dehydrated meat and vegetables into a bowl, poured hot water into the bowl, and finally covered it with a plate.
"Because it can be eaten after soaking in hot water for half a cup of tea, it is called instant noodles." Gu Shangqing said, "I haven't eaten this kind of noodles, but my family said that it tastes no different from freshly cooked noodles, and it is even more fragrant."
"Is it so magical?" Huang Kexiao stared at the bowl curiously, "But when you put the seasoning powder in just now, you did smell the fragrance."
"Is it more fragrant now?" Gu Shangqing asked with a smile.
"Indeed." Huang Kexiao swallowed his saliva, "I wasn't hungry originally, but now I'm hungry just by smelling the smell."
"If that's the case, it's a good thing." Zhu Yaoming has already thought that if he carries these on the march, he can solve many problems.
