Liao Nings surprise was evident on her face. The notion of an interstellar farm specializing in the study of rice noodles had caught her off guard. What astonished her even more was that they had successfully developed it. While making rice noodles was not a particularly challenging task, they were primarily associated with the cuisine of the southwest region, even during Liao Ning’s time.
“Do you guys have knowledge about rice noodles too?” she inquired, her tone tinged with curiosity.
Zhang Ting found Liao Ning’s reaction perplexing. It seemed as though she had been familiar with rice noodles for a long time, despite their absence within the entire Interstellar Alliance’s food repertoire.
“Miss Liao Ning, have you encountered rice noodles before?” Zhang Ting asked, sensing there was more to the story.
Aware that she had inadvertently revealed her surprise, Liao Ning hastily clarified, “No, I’ve only come across them in ancient texts. Those books mentioned rice noodles as one of the favored staple foods in the southwest region.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA smile graced Liao Ning’s lips as she continued, “Since those ancient texts chronicled unique delicacies specific to certain regions, I was genuinely astonished to learn about your farm’s efforts to revive them.”
Hearing her explanation, Zhang Ting reciprocated with a smile. “I truly didn’t anticipate Miss Liao Ning’s extensive knowledge on the subject. Rice noodles were also rediscovered by our researchers from an obscure ancient tome. The book mentioned that broth made with rice noodles and chicken was considered the epitome of culinary excellence, so we spent nearly two years recreating it.”
“You all have done an extraordinary job. Achieving this without a clear production method is truly remarkable!” Liao Ning commended, impressed by their accomplishments.
Zhang Ting smiled in response. “Miss Liao Ning, you’re too kind. We are driven by our dedication to the alliance.”
Leading the two cubs, Liao Ning proceeded to the production workshop. With Zhang Ting’s approval, she brought the live-stream floating ball into the workshop and introduced the rice noodles to the online audience.
Currently, the workshop was not actively producing rice noodles. Instead, neatly arranged baskets of packaged rice noodles were on display for everyone to see.
[These rice noodles resemble threads. They look incredibly long] [How am I supposed to eat this?]
[I wonder if Liao Ning knows how to make rice noodles.]
[I like rice very much. Just now, Mr. Zhang said that the ingredients for rice noodles are rice. He will definitely like rice noodles very much. I hope Liao Ning can teach us how to make rice noodles today!]
Observing the reactions of the online audience, Zhang Ting decided to inform Liao Ning that the farm had a kitchen she could use if she wished to demonstrate the rice noodle-making process.
After a brief moment of consideration, Liao Ning agreed without hesitation. With the day progressing, she realized there would still be ample time to take the two cubs out to play after lunch.
“Since everyone is so eager, I must give it a try. However, if it doesn’t turn out delicious, please don’t be angry!” Liao Ning stated, expressing a hint of concern.
[No, no, why would we be angry with Liao Ning!]
[Don’t worry, live-streamer. We’re already very grateful that you’re so generous to publicize the recipe. Why would we blame you?]
[The person above is right!]
Accompanied by Zhang Ting, Liao Ning proceeded to the farm’s kitchen, where she located all the necessary ingredients with his assistance.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTying her long hair into a ponytail, Liao Ning washed her hands and prepared to make the rice noodles. “Today, I will use locally sourced ingredients to demonstrate how to prepare bridge noodles!” she announced.
[Liao Ning, look at me! Liao Ning’s outfit today is really beautiful!]
[Why is it called “bridge rice noodles”? Is it because you have to cross a bridge with rice noodles?]
[Is it called Crossing the Bridge Rice Noodles because it was made on the bridge?]
[What a strange name.]
Liao Ning began to speak slowly, recounting a heartwarming tale tied to
“bridge rice noodles.” “There’s a touching story about ‘bridge rice noodles.’ According to legend, in an ancient Eastern country during the feudal dynasty, there was a scholar who aspired to become an official in the imperial government. Determined to pursue his dreams, the scholar left his wife behind and lived a solitary life to devote himself to his studies. Over time, his wife grew immensely homesick, and in an act of love, she prepared the special rice noodles from their hometown. On a rainy day, she crossed a bridge to reach him, presenting him with the noodles. Touched by her gesture, he made a solemn vow to achieve a high-ranking position and provide a blissful life for his devoted wife. With unwavering determination, he dedicated himself to his studies and eventually attained his goal, bestowing upon his wife a life of comfort and joy.”
[I didn’t expect there to be such a story behind a delicacy!]
[That scholar is so lucky to have a wife who loves him so much.]
[His wife is also very fortunate to have found a husband as ambitious and trustworthy as him!]
