It was a simple kitchen, a stove and firewood.
His Yao Yao!
She did not change at all after being through a wealthy life. He could not sense any arrogance in her but rather an elegance through years of experience. He felt happiness from such a lovely and simple environment.
Mo Beihan imagined a life if they had two children. He would help her prepare dishes while the children played around at the side, asking for food. That would be a perfect life!
The fragrance diffused out of the kitchen. There were two types of chilli paste. One was made from fresh red chilli and then picked. The other type was made into chilli oil.
Northern people all liked to eat noodles with a strong taste. Noodles must have chilli paste inside. It was going to be winter soon. A bowl of hot and spicy sliced pork noodles would make the whole body warm.
They made the noodles by themselves as well by cutting thin sheets of flour dough into slices of noodle.
“You can use the noodle machine to cut the noodles. Then the noodles will be the same width. They will look prettier.”
There was a noodle machine in the alley. Anyone could pay money to use it.
Chen Qingqing nodded and kept it in his mind.
After all the preparations, the only left was for the soup to be cooked. It would take the longest time. Gu Qingyao only asked Mo Beihan to put off the fire after two hours.
It smelled nice and delicious. The fragrance of the soup was everywhere in the air. Chen Qingqing was very excited. “It smells so nice! Sister Gu, I think you’re the only person who can make such a simple dish so delicious!”
Gu Qingyao smiled. She put the noodles into the pot and prepared three servings. She added some vegetables as well.
The vegetable was boiled in another pot. It just needed to be boiled slightly which would not take long.
After the vegetable, she added the sliced pork, spring onion and sesame oil. Lastly, she poured some hot soup into the bowl. It looked extremely appealing.
Chen Qingqing stared at the hot bowl of sliced pork noodles and said, “It smells so delicious! It looks appealing as well. Sister Gu, you’re so good at cooking. It’s just a bowl of noodles. No one else will pay so much attention to the details of making it.”
She was right. It was really a simple dish. However, there was a shortage of supply in this era. The standard of living was not high. It was not easy to have sufficient food to eat. No one bothered to study how to make food delicious.
Only when the basic needs were met, people would care about spiritual enjoyment. It was the same for food. When everyone could have sufficient food every day, there would be people aiming to make more delicious food.
However, no one had that thought yet.
Gu Qingyao smiled and said, “Try the noodles. How does it taste?”
They added some chilli paste and started eating.
Mo Beihan and Gu Qingyao did not feel anything as they had eaten lots of delicious food. However, it was different for Chen Qingqing. She did not pay attention to how to make nice food in the past. She felt that this was the most delicious food she had ever eaten in her life. It felt like she could swallow her tongue as well.
She gobbled down the noodles. It was really an enjoyment from the delicious soup and spicy chilli paste.
“This is so delicious! Sister Gu, this will be a good business!”
Gu Qingyao smiled, “It will definitely make profits since it’s so delicious. The key point is you cannot sell for a high price as it’s a simple dish. Just aim to sell more. It’s profitable from forty cents per bowl. I bet there will be a lot of customers since we are so generous with the meat. Even if others try to mimic, there is no room for them to reduce the price.”
