Chapter 37 The temptation of instant noodles
When Zhong Yue pushed Gu Qin's iron donkey back home, he was already exhausted.
"Are you here to torture me?" Zhong Yue drank a glass of water and lay on the table exhausted.
Gu Qin said embarrassedly: "I don't know if it takes so long to get from the city to your house. I haven't seen how much oil you need..."
Faced with such an unreliable woman, Zhong Yue also shook his head, "I'll get you some gasoline." The families with three jumpers in the village basically prepare one or two buckets of gasoline.
"Oh, thank you. I want the number ninety-seven."
Zhong Yue's feet stopped, "A broken motorcycle needs a 97th one? Just like Sanbengzi, wouldn't it be better to add a 92th one?"
Gu Qin put the drawing board aside and looked at the furniture wrapped in old newspapers, "What a broken motorcycle? This is Harley, enough to buy hundreds of three-bouncers!"
"Just brag. No. 97, the county doesn't seem to have it yet. Why don't you ask your family to send it?"
"Don't. Anyway, it will take several days to collect the field, so I won't go back now." Gu Qin took the burly paper like a hill, and covered the ink marks on it over and over again. This is too cost-effective.
"It's up to you." Zhong Yue had just taken two steps and suddenly jogged back, "What do you mean?"
"What does it mean?"
"If you don't go back, where do you live? There are no hotels in the countryside."
Gu Qin was stunned, "There is no hotel?"
"I'll take you home later."
"I came out stealing..."
Zhong Yue was speechless, "Where is the newspaper? You won't go to the newspaper?"
"The newspaper has been acquired. The suspension of the paper is being rectified. I guess I, an intern reporter, have also been ruined." Gu Qin looked around for a few times, "Is there a takeaway here? I'm going to starve to death. Hey, why is there no WiFi here?"
"Wife? I'm not married." Zhong Yue threw his schoolbag on the table and was about to cook. I don't know when this sudden trouble will last.
Gu Qin took out a bottle of water from his bag and took a sip, "It's WiFi, not WiFi, how did you get into Huizhou University in the college entrance examination?"
Zhong Yue pulled the corner of his mouth, "I'm 120 English, and I only got tens of ten in the listening test. Do you have any opinions?" This cannot be blamed for Zhong Yue. The teacher who taught their English in their class was a weirdo with a strong Minnan accent, which also led to them who had already learned mute English and almost becoming half-deaf and half-dumb.
"What a weird thing. What are you doing?"
"Cooking, do you still expect this rice to become rice by itself?"
Gu Qin said embarrassedly: "No need to be too troublesome."
Zhong Yue took out a few bags of instant noodles from his schoolbag, "Then let's eat instant noodles."
"You guys, I'm kind of polite, but you're so insincere!"
"Is there no sincerity in instant noodles? Wait until you can evaluate it after eating."
Zhong Yue went to the kitchen, pulled the instant noodles open, and put it into water on the gas stove.
"You usually live alone?"
"What? Is there any problem?" Zhong Yue put the dough into boiled water.
"You are really like an ancient person. There is no TV, no mobile phone or computer at home. It is a miracle that a person like you can survive in this era."
Zhong Yue smiled slightly, "Here, there is a radio over there."
"..." Gu Qin glanced at Zhong Yue who was focusing on the noodle pot, and suddenly felt a little dazed, and withdrew his eyes, "You are really an ancient person."
She opened her phone and clicked on the player.
“GnR’s Don’t Cry?”
Gu Qin was stunned and glanced at his phone. Then the prelude was, "Have you heard it?"
"There are some cassettes at home, which have been more than ten years ago, and I have been listening to them for a long time."
"You ancient man..."
Gu Qin naturally heard of the cassette, but never used it. She glanced at Zhong Yue and said, "Hey, why are you changing the pan?"
Zhong Yue looked up and said, "You're responsible for eating."
He dripped some vegetable oil into the pot, squeezed the sauce into the pot, and slowly spread it onto the iron pot. The instant noodles he took out were still a bit hard, but it was made intentionally by Zhong Yue. The noodles were cooked too soft and tasted like a piece of flour and were not chewy.
The gas stove turned into a low heat, and the drained instant noodles were spread over the sauce. Zhong Yue quickly flipped it with chopsticks. The noodles still had moisture sounded in the pot, and the classic Don’t Cry was next to it, which made Gu Qin feel like he was traveling back to the 1980s. In the dim kitchen, the sunlight from the exhaust fan was mixed with the fragrance of the sauce, making Gu Qin feel comfortable.
The noodles were wrapped in sauce, and the color quickly changed from light yellow to brown. Zhong Yue's other pot also heated up. The egg liquid was poured down and spread it slowly. The fragrance immediately dissipated. Zhong Yue turned off the fire and covered the lid.
"Hey, the egg skin is not cooked yet."
"When it's cooked, it's old." He cut some chopped green onions and put them into the stir-fried noodles, and no longer flipped with chopsticks.
The lid of the pot was lifted, and the egg liquid that had not yet condensed had already condensed, and it looked very perfect. Zhong Yue rolled up the egg skin, placed it on the chopping board, and cut it into shreds with a kitchen knife.
"Go, get two plates in the cabinet behind."
Gu Qin, who was a little dazed, came to his senses and obediently took two white blue and white plates and placed them aside, not daring to disturb Chef Zhong's creation.
Zhong Yue presented the stir-fried noodles, sprinkled with shredded eggs, drizzled with a few drops of sesame oil, and smiled and said, "The instant noodles are ready."
Gu Qin's eyes were full of joy, "If you don't say this is instant noodles, I suspect it is a bowl of pasta."
"It's too much." Zhong Yue walked to the hall with the noodles in his hand. "I used to have nothing to eat at home, so I always ate instant noodles, and I felt nauseous. Later, I thought about ways to improve it myself. This is just one of them, let's eat it."
Gu Qin took the chopsticks and took a bite, looking at Zhong Yue in surprise, "What's crispy is..."
"In the end, there was no turning, and the layer below became crispy. How did it taste?"
Gu Qin nodded. She had never eaten such delicious instant noodles before.
The sauce is placed in the noodle soup, which is far from being rich and loose noodles wrapped in this way. The loose noodles are very competitive when you enter the mouth. The tender egg skin shreds make the taste complement each other.
"Zhong Yue, this noodles are so delicious."
Zhong Yue took a bite and smiled and said, "You are too hungry. Eat quickly. After eating, I'll take you back to the city."
"No, I decided to stay here for a few more days."
"..." Zhong Yue swallowed his face, "Then where do you live?"
Gu Qin was stunned and looked at Zhong Yue with a little embarrassed look, "Can you allow food and accommodation here?"
"Ahem."
Zhong Yue quickly turned his head over and straightened his anger, "Although we have met a few times before and you have helped me a lot, it's not good at all..."
"What's wrong with that?"
Zhong Yue lowered his head, finished his noodles, and asked awkwardly, "Aren't you afraid?"
Gu Qin flashed his big eyes, "What are you afraid of?"
"When I didn't ask, but are you so old and not at all prepared?"
"What to defend against?"
"A wolf."
KAKAKAKA.
Gu Qin's fingers rang, "Three sections of Taekwondo black belt."
