Chapter 172 Scallion Oil Noodles

Xia Shiyu has liked eating noodles with a basket of steamed buns or one or two steamed breads since she was a child. It's just that it's not convenient at school, so she doesn't do that. She still likes to eat noodles like that at home.

Now, holding a soft, white steamed bun in one hand, and using chopsticks in the right hand to pick up a bunch of fragrant noodles, with a little cilantro on top, he puts them into his mouth.

The noodles are smooth and chewy, each strand coated with the aroma of scallion oil. You can taste the salty and savory flavors of the scallion oil and seasonings, perfectly blended together. The scattered cilantro is the icing on the cake. After eating a bite of noodles, take a bite of steamed bun for a perfect balance of sweet and savory, making it delicious no matter how you eat it.

The rest of the family ate very quickly, and for a while, all you could hear was the sound of slurping noodles.

After finishing a bowl, Xia Lihua took the steamed bun, swished it around the rim of the bowl to dip it in the sauce, and then took a bite of the bun.

"This scallion oil tastes amazing, it's so fragrant it's almost unbearable, and it's not just fragrant in smell, it tastes amazing too."

Grandpa nodded, "I ate this once in Suzhou before, and I thought it was delicious. I never imagined it could be even better."

Grandma nodded, "I didn't like these strong-flavored foods before, but they're so delicious that they've really improved my appetite."

Xia Shiyu had finished a bowl and was munching on a steamed bun when she heard her family say that. She was very happy. "I knew it would be delicious. Grandma, you can go get some more. I made extra and there's still some left."

Grandma nodded, "Okay, okay, I'll go eat some more. It smells so good, it's not good to heat it up at night."

Xia Shiyu said, "We can have wontons for dinner. We can chop up some scallions and add garlic, or we can make a scallion pancake."

Yu Juan said, "The garlic can also be used to make pickled garlic. I'll find a jar and put some sour water in it later, then we can eat pickled garlic."

"Okay, this tastes good."

Xia Lihua nodded and then said, "I'll go outside and get some houttuynia cordata later. It's really delicious when mixed with cilantro."

Yu Juan nodded, "It is indeed a good dish. Bring back more later."

Xia Lihua waved his hand, "No need, no need. If we pick too many and leave them out, they'll get old. I'll just get more when I want to eat them. If we eat them frequently, we won't have to worry about them getting old."

Yu Juan handed the task over to Xia Lihua, saying, "Okay, this is a good opportunity for you to get some exercise. Go pick them a few more times."

Xia Shiyu watched with a smile as her father was assigned tasks.

The Xia family was enjoying their meal immensely, while the Chen family was practically floating on air.

When Chen Yuzhu hurried home carrying two large buckets of insulated containers, her mother was just about to cook dinner.

"Xiaozhu, why are you back so early today? And why did you bring two insulated containers?"

Chen Yuzhu took a couple of breaths and placed the thermos on the table. "Mom, you don't need to cook. This is from Boss Shi Yu. The scallions she planted were ripe today, and she made scallion oil noodles. She told me to bring some back for the two of us to eat, which will save you some trouble."

Chen's mother felt a little embarrassed. She felt that she was already indebted to Chen Yuzhu for this job. Chen Yuzhu would often bring back some food, and the family ate well every day. Now, she was being asked to bring ready-made food.

"Oh, why did you bring back something ready-made? It's one thing for you to bring back one, but bringing back two is so embarrassing."

"Mom, don't worry about that. We can bring some things from home back later. Let's eat the scallion oil noodles first, or they'll get soggy and won't taste good."

As Chen Yuzhu spoke, she opened the insulated container, took out the steamed buns first, then poured the scallion oil noodles into a bowl, and soaked the insulated container in dish soap and water, otherwise the oil stains would be difficult to wash later. She would wash the insulated container later.

Sitting in her seat, smelling the fragrant scallion oil noodles, Chen Ma picked up a large mouthful with her chopsticks and ate it with some eagerness.

Because it was kept in a thermos and Chen Yuzhu returned quickly, it was still steaming hot.

Each strand of the rich, savory noodles is coated with the aroma of scallions, making your mouth water and stimulating your appetite.

Chen Yuzhu was so engrossed in eating that she didn't care about anything else.

Wow, this is so delicious! How did she manage to find such a perfect job?

The salary is normal, the boss is kind, the hours are flexible, it's convenient to live away from home, and most importantly, there are plenty of delicious foods for her to enjoy every day.

Take this scallion for example. If she didn't work for another company, she wouldn't be able to buy it even if she had the money.

Oh my god, she's so lucky.

Happy Chen Yuzhu and her mother finished a large bowl of noodles with gusto, and even let out a slight burp after eating.

“Since you started working, the food at home has been getting better and better. Sometimes it’s so good that I can’t help but eat until I’m stuffed. I can’t control myself anymore.”

As Chen Ma gets older, her digestive ability isn't as good as it used to be, so she only eats until she's about 80-90% full. But ever since Chen Yuzhu brought back vegetables from her neighbor's house, she couldn't control herself. She couldn't resist cooking less of these ready-made dishes; she just wanted to eat them in big mouthfuls.

They even ate all the steamed buns they had along the way.

"Even steamed buns taste much better with these noodles."

Chen Yuzhu nodded frantically, "Yes, it's really delicious."

She's a woman who's willing to give anything, and she's increasingly reluctant to leave this job; she's determined to keep going!

The two of them enjoyed their meal immensely, but it was a real hardship for their neighbors.

A child was sitting in his seat without eating when he smelled the delicious aroma from next door and asked, "Mommy, it smells so good! What is it? I want to eat too."

Wang Chunyan also smelled the aroma; it was indeed very fragrant. After sniffing it twice, she hesitated and said, "It smells a bit like scallion oil."

Li Dehua said, "It's scallion oil noodles, isn't it? It has such a strong scallion oil flavor."

Upon hearing his parents' words, Li Ming, who was sitting on the stool, immediately started arguing, "I want to eat scallion oil noodles too! I want to eat scallion oil noodles too!"

The child's voice was extremely shrill, driving Wang Chunyan and Li Dehua crazy.

Wang Chunyan quickly comforted her, "Don't be silly, don't be silly. There's still meat today, and chicken legs too. You eat the chicken legs, and we'll have noodles later."

"I don't want chicken legs, I just want noodles." Li Ming pushed his mother's hand away, and the chicken leg fell to the ground, where it was quickly picked up by the big orange cat and ran away.

Wang Chunyan got angry at her child's naughty behavior. "Eat it or don't, it's up to you. If you don't want to eat it, then let Da Pang and me eat it."

After Wang Chunyan finished speaking, she started eating, putting the remaining chicken leg into her own bowl and eating it herself. Li Dehua shook his head and ignored his unlucky son.

Li Ming had been pretending to cry and make a fuss in order to get his parents to give in to him, but he didn't expect them to ignore him this time, so his fake crying turned into real crying.

"Wow, waaaaah, I want scallion oil noodles, my chicken leg, waaaaah!"
