Chapter 34 Instant Noodles
"This action is very impressive."
Zhao Xiaoyan said with a smile while watching Wei Dalei's opening and closing movements. It is said that from an evolutionary perspective, men's movements when doing physical work will naturally attract women to a certain extent.
Chen Mu didn't give her any tools, because it was obvious that Zhao Xiaoyan's labor force was almost negligible compared to Wei Dalei's, so he simply asked her to stand guard and keep an eye on the enemy situation around her.
"I did this kind of work on my dad's construction site when I was a child." Wei Dalei grinned and smiled boldly after being praised by Zhao Xiaoyan.
In order to make time, Chen Mu also shoveled flour together. Although his strength was far inferior to Wei Dalei, his skills were superior to that of Wei Dalei, and his speed was not much worse than him.
"Boss, you are really good. You can pick up anything, haha."
"I have done this kind of work for many places, including your father's." Chen Mu smiled.
Wei Dalei knew Chen Mu's experience and had no doubt about it.
With the cooperation of the two people, the plastic square bucket on the flatbed truck was quickly filled.
Chen Mu sealed his mouth.
He rolled the celery leaves into rolls and stuffed them into the gaps between the square barrel and the railings of the flatbed truck to prevent them from being blown away by the wind outside.
"It's done, are you going back?"
"If there is no salt, we have to look elsewhere." Chen Mu looked at the spice jars high up, and finally decided to give up here for the time being.
Generally speaking, condiments are placed in a relatively high place to prevent moisture. Tang Jing originally suggested that they come to the rice steaming room, but she remembered that there were some bags of salt on the ground here, but obviously, she either remembered it wrong, Either the staff had moved away. After all, Tang Jing couldn't often go to the cafeteria and kitchen to play with her uncle.
Chen Mu originally wanted to wait until next time.
But then I thought about it, the longer the time goes on, the higher the danger in the cafeteria will be. Besides, there will still be no direction next time, and a lot of time will be wasted over and over again.
"Are Yan Yan so anxious?" Zhao Xiaoyan asked.
"Of course, if a person doesn't eat salt at all, he won't be able to bear it for 10 to 15 days. I don't know how different our bodies are now from before, but by the time we find out something is wrong, it will be too late." "But, I
remember In order to lose weight, my mother never added oil or salt to vegetables." Zhao Xiaoyan recalled.
"It also depends on the situation. Some people's constitution can tolerate it for a longer period of time, but the most important thing is that the salt is not necessarily completely replenished through table salt. There is more or less some in our usual food, such as animal blood and Meat contains a small amount of salt, while other items such as sauces, pickled products, and even snacks and drinks contain high levels of salt. “
So, if you don’t feel like you eat much salt, it won’t be a big problem.
"But it's definitely not possible to eat only rice noodles and a little celery leaves like we do now, without even meat." "
Then where are we going to find it?" Zhao Xiaoyan asked.
"Let's go to the kitchen and take a look
first." The three of them returned to the corridor where they were just now. There were a series of rooms on both sides, and most of the doors were open. But the problem was that they didn't know what was inside at all. If they were to search from room to room, it would probably take several days. Not enough time.
"Zhao Xiaoyan, try to smell it along the way. Is there any smell of pepper?"
"Why pepper?" Zhao Xiaoyan was puzzled.
"Because salt itself has no smell, but most seasonings are put together. As long as you can smell one of them, the probability of finding it is greatly increased. Pepper has a stronger smell, so I guess it will be relatively easy to find." "Yeah
. , I try my best."
Then.
The three people set out on the journey again.
When they arrived, they were already prepared to stay out all night. It was almost noon, so there was plenty of time.
As expected, Zhao Xiaoyan was like a puppy all the way, pouting her nose and sniffing in the air. Wei Dalei tried to laugh several times, but was slapped back by Chen Mu.
However, the smell in the cafeteria is complicated, especially after people become smaller, and there is very little air that they can come into contact with. In addition, Zhao Xiaoyan has never deliberately exercised his abilities, so there are no good results along the way.
"Wait a minute."
When Chen Mu was already preparing to find a place to stay tonight, Zhao Xiaoyan suddenly shouted to stop, poking his nose in the air for a long time, and then said: "It seems to really smell of pepper... It's not right. , what kind of sauce is it...it's not right, the smell is very familiar, but I can't remember it for a while." "
Are you sure it is some kind of seasoning?" Chen Mu asked.
"OK!"
"Then go over and take a look first."
In fact, in this environment, Zhao Xiaoyan can smell it clearly, which means that they are not far away, otherwise no matter how strong the smell is, it will be covered up by other things.
Chen Mu calculated the time, and if everything went well, he would be able to go back before dark.
Zhao Xiaoyan gave directions to the two of them while smelling the smell.
soon.
The three of them came to a room.
Inside the canteen, many rooms have thresholds, but considering that staff often come in and out with basins and other things, for safety reasons, the thresholds are not set high.
Taking the rice steaming room just now as an example, there is actually only one layer of plastic baffle, which is mainly used to prevent the spread of water on the ground.
The room in front of me was obviously different from the other rooms in the cafeteria.
It's very dry inside.
When you walk in, the greasy feeling on your feet is much less.
"This is it?"
"Yes."
This is an internal room that is not next to the outer wall, so there are no windows. Fortunately, it is noon, and through the open door, you can roughly see what is inside.
There were rows of cardboard boxes, some even stacked to the height of the ceiling.
It looks like a warehouse-like room.
The three of them did not dare to rush in at once. It was not until they got used to the dim environment at the door that they walked in slowly with extreme caution, "
The smell is getting more and more obvious...ah, I know what it is." Yes."
Zhao Xiaoyan's excited voice came: "It's instant noodles."
"You can't even remember instant noodles?" Wei Dalei asked doubtfully.
"I rarely eat instant noodles. No, I should say that I have never eaten instant noodles since I was a child. My mother said that instant noodles are unhealthy. Not only did I never eat them, but the whole family was not allowed to eat them. That time I was punished by her for eating them secretly. I found out and spanked me hard, and then I didn’t dare to do it anymore, but it tasted really good.” In
high school, students are basically still under the jurisdiction of their parents, especially a good girl like Zhao Xiaoyan, who is taken care of by her parents. Mom was so strict that she didn't even eat instant noodles, which was understandable.
Thinking of her mother who never added oil or salt to her food, Chen Mu suddenly felt that her childhood life was not that bad.
While Zhao Xiaoyan was speaking.
Chen Mu also saw the huge font printed on the carton in front of him.
“Master Kang’s Braised Beef Noodles.”
“No increase in price if you increase the quantity.”
