Stepping into the kitchen, Wen Ning took out the rice noodles he had previously bought in Nanzhou from the cupboard, handed a bunch of small green vegetables to Lan Sizhui for washing, and then got back to his own work.
The rice noodles he had eaten in Nanzhou used a broth simmered from chicken bones, pork bones, and ham. The broth was rich and savory, which enhanced the flavor of the noodles. However, simmering bone broth now was definitely out of the question, so Wen Ning had to use hot water instead. He boiled the rice noodles and green vegetables in a pot, scooped them out to drain, and placed them in bowls. Next came adding various seasonings according to personal taste, such as soy sauce, vinegar, Sichuan peppercorn oil, minced garlic, and chopped scallions. For someone like Wei Wuxian, who loved spicy food, chili oil could also be added. This was the only dish for dinner today. To make the nutrition more well-rounded, Wen Ning also fried an egg for everyone, and finally poured in hot water and stirred well. The rice noodles were ready.
He Xuan had been waiting impatiently nearby. The moment the first bowl was done, he eagerly began to taste it. Wen Ning and the others were already used to this, and they still stared closely at He Xuan, waiting for his critique. However, He Xuan's mind was entirely focused on the rice noodles, and he completely missed the expectant looks on Wen Ning's and Lan Sizhui's faces.
