Chapter 250: Start a new day with a small pot of rice noodles
As the first rays of morning sunlight filtered through the cracks in the curtains, a new day quietly arrived. I slowly woke up, rubbed my sleepy eyes, and casually picked up my phone by my pillow to check the time—it was only a little after six, still far too early for my usual commute. So, why not enjoy a hearty breakfast at home?
My stomach started growling at the thought, and the image of those mouth-watering rice noodles instantly popped into my mind. Yes, it's been ages since I've had homemade rice noodles! Immediately, I leaped out of bed and quickly headed for the kitchen.
I expertly opened the cupboard and pulled out the cute little pot, gently placing it on the stove. Then, I pulled the rich bone broth I'd made last night from the refrigerator and carefully poured it into the pot. As the flames danced cheerfully, a gurgling sound soon filled the pot, and the white broth began to bubble and swirl, emitting waves of enticing aroma.
While the soup was simmering, I quickly washed a handful of fresh bean sprouts and neatly arranged them aside. Once the soup was boiling, I eagerly grabbed a handful of rice noodles and slowly added them to the pot. Watching them bob and bob in the boiling water, gradually becoming soft and translucent, my mood brightened.
Next, I dumped all the washed bean sprouts in, stirring them gently with chopsticks to evenly heat them. As the sprouts neared completion and were about to be removed from the pot, I quickly tossed in a handful of emerald green chives and fragrant pork belly. Suddenly, the entire kitchen was filled with an even stronger aroma, making everyone's mouth water.
Everything was ready. I carefully poured the cooked rice noodles, along with the broth, into the large bowl I'd prepared. Then, like a master chef, I began to work the magic of seasoning: first, I evenly spread diced tomatoes over the rice noodles, then sprinkled them with a handful of tender green cilantro and chopped green onions. Next, I scooped up a large spoonful of fiery red chili oil and poured it over the noodles. The vibrant color was immediately eye-catching. Of course, salt, chicken bouillon, and other seasonings were also indispensable to enhance the flavor.
After meticulous preparation, a bowl of delicious rice noodles finally appeared before my eyes. I lifted the bowl and took a deep breath. The unique aroma of bones, vegetables, and spices penetrated my nose and stimulated my taste buds. I couldn't help but pick up a handful of noodles and put them in my mouth. I chewed gently, and the soft, smooth texture and delicious flavor blossomed on my tongue.
"Mmm, it's delicious!" I couldn't help but let out a heartfelt exclamation. This familiar and wonderful flavor seems to be deeply ingrained in the DNA of every Yunnan native. No matter where I go, as long as I eat a bowl of authentic small pot rice noodles like this, I can feel the warmth and intimacy of home.
After satisfyingly finishing my bowl of steaming, fragrant rice noodles, I enthusiastically set about preparing the delicious chicken feet. I tiptoed to the refrigerator and carefully opened it, a burst of cool air hitting me. Then, I took out the pre-prepared chicken feet.
The chicken feet were neatly arranged in two containers. One was larger, filled with slightly larger, more attractively colored chicken feet; the other was smaller, but equally adorable. After some deliberation and comparison, I decided to send the larger box to Wei'er, so she could also enjoy this unique delicacy. As for the smaller box, I planned to take it to the kindergarten to share with everyone.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. If everyone gives good feedback after tasting it, I will definitely make more and share it with every friend around me so that they can all feel the joy brought by this delicious food.
After everything was ready, not long after, the Interstellar Express robot arrived at the door on time to pick up the thoughtful package. Then, I quickly and gently placed the small box containing the chicken feet in my backpack, packed my things, and happily walked out towards the nursery.
When I finally arrived at the nursery, I found the children happily playing in the yard! Some were chasing each other, their laughter filling the air; others were quietly crouching in a corner, fiddling with their favorite toys. Just then, the eagle-eyed little ones noticed my arrival, stopped what they were doing, and came running towards me like a flock of cheerful birds. Their bright, round eyes widened as they gathered around me, their gazes fixed on the mysterious box I held.
I smiled, slowly crouched down, and gently opened the lid of the box. Instantly, a rich, sour, and spicy aroma filled the air like an invisible magic. The children cheered with excitement, their bright, twinkling eyes gleaming like stars in the night sky, dazzling and dazzling.
"Children," I said softly, "this box contains something for Aunt Wei'er. And, because it's filled with chili peppers, it's not suitable for you to eat. But don't worry, we've prepared other super delicious treats for you today!" After hearing this explanation, the children's faces, once somewhat disappointed, immediately blossomed into brilliant smiles, each one brimming with happiness. At that moment, looking at these innocent children before me, a surge of warmth welled up deep within me.
At this moment, my computer suddenly vibrated slightly again. This familiar feeling made me realize it was another message from Interstellar Express! As expected, a message popped up on the screen: "Dear customer, a package from Ms. Wei'er has arrived successfully. Please check it promptly." Seeing this message, I couldn't help but feel delighted, because I knew it contained all kinds of delicious food that Wei'er had carefully prepared.
However, I was busy with work and couldn't spare the time to personally receive the package. Desperately, I instructed the delivery robot via my computer to place the package in a special express box at the door. Thankfully, in our interstellar age, express boxes are extremely secure, equipped with advanced protection systems and rigorous monitoring measures. Otherwise, even in such a secure interstellar environment, I wouldn't have dared to leave these tempting delicacies outside my door.
After completing the operation, I quickly sent a message to Wei'er, informing her that I had successfully received the delicious food she sent, and added: "Dear Wei'er, I have just sent the chicken feet according to your request, and it will probably reach you soon. Remember, once you get it, you must enjoy it as soon as possible, and don't let it go bad!" After sending this message, I could almost imagine Wei'er's happy look when she saw it.
Okay, let's put aside what we're doing for a moment and prepare for the crucial and highly anticipated event ahead! By now, everyone must be filled with curiosity and excitement. What kind of unique and exciting event will this be? Let's embark on this new journey together, filled with anticipation and a passion for the experience!
