Chapter 289: Chapter 290: Instant Noodle Package

"Designing machines?" This time, Xu Ying couldn’t remain composed, looking at the sparkle in Huo Chen’s eyes.

Huo Chen felt her intense gaze and tensed his sharp jawline, eventually nodding after a long pause, "Let’s go, so we won’t be late."

Only then did Xu Ying mount her bicycle.

All along the way, Huo Chen’s back was straight and tall.

Xu Ying’s eyes flickered with curiosity, remembering that Mr. Sun had asked her to speak highly of the mechanical factory.

She turned her head toward Huo Chen, "What good products does your mechanical factory have?"

She hadn’t heard of any particularly famous products from Yu County’s mechanical factory. Since Huo Chen worked in design, she assumed he must have created something special.

"A semi-automatic Seeder, would that count?" Huo Chen asked curiously.

He wasn’t very knowledgeable about machinery.

It was by chance that he helped the mechanical factory repair a machine, and then he suddenly thought of a mechanical hand-held device for sowing wheat.

In Yu County, there was plenty of land used for wheat farming, and the Wooden Seeder was both clumsy and heavy to use, requiring significant effort. It needed someone to hold it and another to pull it, or an animal to draw it.

But if it were made into a simpler, hand-held mechanical version with wheels, it would greatly reduce the weight and be more convenient, light, and faster for sowing.

He had been researching whether he could turn this simple hand-held mechanical Seeder into an automated version that could move on its own, only requiring someone to steer it.

Xu Ying showed great interest in his machine. If it worked well, it really could bring many benefits to the villagers.

Wherever there were people, there would surely be land, and with land, such agricultural machines were naturally needed.

However, pressed for time, Xu Ying still had to rush to work at the factory and could only plan to visit the mechanical factory another day when she had time.

Upon reaching the county, they went their separate ways.

Xu Ying entered the factory and went straight to the research and development department.

Yang Nan and Zhou Yi had already heard from the factory manager that Minister Xu had developed a new product.

Now they were eagerly waiting for Minister Xu’s arrival.

As soon as they saw Minister Xu enter, Yang Nan ran over excitedly, "Minister Xu, I heard from Mr. Sun that you have recently developed flavor packets for instant noodles? What is that?"

He had heard of instant noodles but hadn’t eaten them, so what were these flavor packets?

"Flavor packets are essentially like seasonings that add taste to instant noodles. Instant noodles are quick and convenient, but everyone certainly looks for delicious food. My developed flavor packets are designed to improve the taste of instant noodles, and they can create any flavor. For example, sour pickled cabbage, beef, and even mushroom chicken soup..."

Listening on the side, Yang Nan salivated.

Zhou Yi’s eyes lit up as well; he had been fortunate enough to have tasted instant noodles once, but the flavor indeed couldn’t compare to freshly cooked food. However, they were truly convenient; one just had to soak the noodles in hot water, add in the simple enclosed seasonings, and the instant noodles were ready.

"So these packets are the seasonings for those flavors?"

Xu Ying nodded.

She took out the recipe she had designed.

One benefit of working at a food factory was that there were always more delicious things than one could eat.

When Xu Ying came in, she had bought a few pounds of large bones; she planned to start by making a flavor packet based on bone broth.

The process for making the flavor packets was simple, just requiring boiling down the bone broth and adding various seasonings.

After about an hour, the entire research and development department was filled with the aroma of meat.

The scent wafted through the whole floor.

This was one reason the research and development department was on a separate floor; the scent was just too enticing.

If one had to work right next to the research and development department every day, how could they focus on their work? They would be driven mad with hunger.

Mr. Sun was very interested in the flavor packets for instant noodles developed by Xu Ying. As soon as he heard she had arrived, he immediately finished his current tasks and rushed over to the development department.

He was even carrying a few packs of instant noodles he had recently spent a lot of money on.

Hoping to pair them with Xu Ying’s flavor packets for a taste test.

They themselves had to know how the flavor packets tasted with the instant noodles; otherwise, how could they convince others?

So, it was essential to try it out themselves first.

Mr. Sun had traveled all the way to the development department, his legs weak from exhaustion.

He had known, he wouldn’t have arranged for the development department to be so far away.

Summoning his willpower, Mr. Sun made it to the upper floor of the development department. As soon as he reached this level, the tantalizing smell wafted subtly into his nostrils.

The moment he caught the scent, his face lit up with joy—it was definitely a success.

Clutching the instant noodles, Mr. Sun sprinted to the entrance of the development department like a hundred-meter dash runner.

"Xiao Xu, Xiao Xu, are the flavor packets for the instant noodles ready? I’ve got some instant noodles here; let’s taste and see how they are now."

Hearing Mr. Sun’s panting voice, Xu Ying quickly opened the door to the development department and saw him with the instant noodles; she couldn’t bear to tell him, "Mr. Sun, we’re still fine-tuning the flavor packets.

If you try them now, you might not be able to appreciate the full deliciousness of our packets."

Mr. Sun was stunned. "What, I can’t eat it yet? But I can already smell the lovely aroma."

"Of course the soup from the stewed meat smells good, but we still have to improve the taste. If you want to try it, you can give it a go," said Xu Ying with a smile.

She felt the flavor packets for instant noodles were still lacking that perfect taste.

Hearing this, Mr. Sun immediately put his cravings aside; he wanted to wait for the perfect flavor.

"Well, I’ll wait then," Mr. Sun said, his face beaming with pride, "Our quota for the foreign trade convention has been set.

Even if Mr. Qian tries to pull another trick, it won’t work this time."

Xu Ying’s face lit up with surprise upon hearing this news.

She felt even more confident about creating the flavor packets for instant noodles.

"Mr. Sun, leave the next steps to me once the quota is fixed.

I promise our food factory won’t let Hua Country down, and we’re going to make a fortune," Xu Ying said with a smile, already calculating the possibilities.

Mr. Sun looked at her fondly, liking what he saw; the girl was like him.

She was brave, tactful, and ambitious, always striving to do better.

Xu Ying had been in the county for several days.

Her previous rental agreement had expired, so she moved into the factory’s living quarters.

Considering the significant contributions Xu Ying had made to the factory, she was given a private room as an exceptional case.

Xu Ying had now moved into the factory, with all her meals also provided there.

After a full week, Xu Ying’s instant noodle flavor packets were finally successful.

As soon as Mr. Sun announced their success, he grabbed his own packs of instant noodles and went looking for Xu Ying.

The instant noodle cake was placed in a bowl, boiling hot water was poured over it, followed by the addition of the flavor packet, and instantly a rich fragrance filled the air.

The intense aroma directly appealed to the taste buds, making one’s mouth water uncontrollably.

Simply press the noodle packet against the bowl, cover it, and wait a few minutes.

Xu Ying also took out some freshly made braised pork trotters and eggs, and once the instant noodles were ready, she added them to the bowl.

Taking a bite of the noodles, followed by a bite of the egg, the flavor was simply sublime.

The noodles were chewy and delicious, and the soup was exceptionally savory and warming.

Mr. Sun couldn’t stop eating: "Xiao Xu, you tell me if there’s anything you can’t accomplish.

Don’t forget to promote the mechanical factory this time; they really helped us out."
