She made noodle soup, which was actually just the most common sour noodle soup in the countryside. However, the sour noodle soup made by Granny Lu was exceptionally delicious. She had learned to make it too. There weren't really any tricks to it: plenty of vegetables, a generous amount of seasonings, and the noodles a bit softer. When eaten together with the broth, it was satisfyingly filling.
The noodles cooked quickly because the flame was high. She turned off the gas, brought the pot into the room, then fetched two small bowls and a tiny porcelain bowl filled with chili oil. The chili oil, which she already had, was infused with star anise, giving it a particularly fragrant smell.
Jian Zhiqing automatically picked up a bowl and served himself some noodles, adding a dose of chili oil. Qin Xiangnuan noticed that he seemed to really enjoy spicy food as he had already added three spoonfuls of chili oil.
