Chapter 148 Instant Noodles
The police sent the reward before the train arrived in Wucheng.
Yan Jiekuang caught a thief and the police gave him a one-dollar reward.
Although it was only one dollar, it was a reward after all, so Yan Jiekuang of course accepted it.
The train also stops in several cities on the way to Wucheng.
When the train arrived in Wucheng, Yan Jiekuang carried 100 kilograms of sweet potatoes down.
In Wucheng, a truck going to Ganshi was found and a package of Daqianmen was given, so Yan Jiekuang was able to take a ride. Along the way, the letter of introduction also played a role.
Wucheng is not too far from Ganshi, and the truck arrived in more than three hours.
Majia Village is more than ten miles outside of Gan City, but the roads are all country roads and cannot be reached by car.
After walking around the city, Yan Jiekuang met an old farmer from Majia Village.
The old farmer drove an ox cart.
Another packet of Daqianmen, Yan Jiekuang got on the ox cart.
When he arrived outside Majia Village and looked at the village in front of him, Yan Jiekuang was also surprised.
This village is too poor.
At first glance, most of the houses are thatched and mud, and there are only a few brick and tile houses.
They are all dirt roads, full of potholes.
There is a lot of chicken shit on the road.
The village raises a few chickens.
Yan Jiekuang was walking in the village carrying 100 kilograms of sweet potatoes, 20 packs of instant noodles and 50 eggs, and everyone was looking at him.
"Excuse me, do you know Yan Jiefang?" Not seeing Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang went to ask an old farmer.
"You are looking for Yan Zhiqing, right? He is in the fields. I will take you to find him."
"Then thank you for your help. My name is Yan Jiekuang, and I am Yan Jiefang's younger brother."
Not long after, they arrived at the edge of a few acres of fields and saw several people working in the fields, including Yan Jiefang.
Yan Jiefang is very different from when he was in the capital. He has become a lot darker, but also stronger. He is barefoot, with his trouser legs rolled up, and bent over in the fields.
Facing the earth and with his back to the sky, Yan Jiefang was also sweating profusely.
"Second brother." Yan Jiekuang called out.
Yan Jiefang straightened up, turned around, and was stunned when he saw that it was Yan Jiekuang.
Next, Yan Jiefang excitedly put down the work at hand.
"Third brother, why are you here?" Yan Jiefang.
"Looking at you, you don't seem to want to starve to death!" Yan Jiekuang looked at Yan Jiefang carefully and said.
Yan Jiefang was a little embarrassed.
After arriving at Majia Village, Yan Jiekuang suffered a lot. He ate coarse grains almost every day and could not eat meat for several months.
Moreover, Yan Jiefang often did not have enough to eat, but he would not starve to death.
In addition to Yan Jiefang, two other educated youth were also assigned to Majia Village.
Together with Yan Jiefang, the three educated youth brought some changes to the village.
"What did you bring me?" Yan Jiefang knew that Yan Jiekuang was bringing him food.
"One hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes, fifty eggs, and twenty packs of instant noodles."
Upon hearing what Yan Jiekuang said, Yan Jiefang was also excited.
One hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes are enough for Yan Jiefang to eat for many days.
Fifty eggs are even better.
However, what Yan Jiefang is most interested in now is instant noodles.
Yan Jiekuang had also heard of instant noodles, but he had never eaten them.
Not to mention Majia Village, even in Gan City no one has ever eaten instant noodles, but someone in Wucheng should have eaten it.
"That's very nice. Let me see the instant noodles." Yan Jiefang said with a smile.
Yan Jiekuang then gave twenty packs of instant noodles to Yan Jiefang.
"Is this instant noodles? The packaging is really beautiful." Yan Jiefang couldn't let it go. The old farmer who brought Yan Jiekuang here, as well as the people in the fields, also stared with wide eyes.
"Instant noodles. Yan Zhiqing's brother actually brought him instant noodles."
? ?? ?
“Even the village party secretary doesn’t have instant noodles to eat.”
"Few people in Wucheng can afford instant noodles, but this is a good thing that can generate foreign exchange."
"Instant noodles must be a good thing if they can earn money from foreigners."
"Instant noodles in China are sold at cost price, 5 cents a pack."
“We are definitely different from those capitalists.”
Holding twenty packs of instant noodles, Yan Jiefang was also very excited.
Yan Jiekuang couldn't wait to finally taste the instant noodles.
"Let's go." Yan Jiefang returned to the village.
Yan Jiekuang carried 100 kilograms of sweet potatoes and held 50 eggs and followed behind Yan Jiefang.
The village party secretary's home is a small brick house, where Yan Jiefang lives.
A half-grown child was feeding chickens. He was the grandson of the village party secretary.
"Brother Yan." Seeing Yan Jiefang, the teenager ran over.
"Xiaoshan, did you see that? Instant noodles." Yan Jiefang waved the instant noodles in his hand in front of the half-grown child.
"Instant noodles?" The boy's eyes lit up and he stared at the instant noodles in Yan Jiefang's hand.
Not long after, a large group of people came running over, including children and old men and women.
Two other educated youth also came, a man and a woman.
Everyone became excited when they learned that Yan Jiefang's younger brother had sent 100 kilograms of sweet potatoes, 50 eggs and 20 packs of instant noodles.
Yan Jiefang took out twenty kilograms of sweet potatoes and fifteen eggs and divided them up, which made Yan Jiekuang simply unable to believe it.
Yan Jiefang was very calculating before he went to the countryside, but now he has become generous. This is really a big change.
Next, Yan Jiefang opened a pack of instant noodles.
Eat half dry and half soaked.
Add seasoning and it is delicious even when eaten dry.
Just soak it in hot water and you can eat it in a few minutes. The aroma is very tempting.
Yan Jiefang did not eat it all alone, he shared some with several children, including Xiaoshan.
Everyone who has eaten instant noodles says it is delicious.
"Instant noodles are so delicious. They are delicious when eaten dry or soaked."
"It's really convenient. Just soak it in hot water and you can eat it in a few minutes."
"If there is no hot water, eating dry is also good."
Everyone knows instant noodles, but few know that it was Yan Jiekuang who invented it.
Although instant noodles have been available in foreign countries for a long time, they were first introduced in China by Yan Jiekuang.
Seeing Yan Jiefang eating instant noodles happily, everyone except Yan Jiekuang was envious.
This is instant noodles! No one in Majia Village, let alone in Ganshi, has ever eaten it.
Yan Jiefang also generously gave a few children a taste, which made the children very happy.
The two educated youth who came to Majia Village with Yan Jiefang also wanted to eat instant noodles.
"Jiefang, please sell me a few packs of instant noodles, one cent a pack." said an educated youth.
"Please sell me a few packs too!" asked another educated youth.
"You're not selling it, but you're still charging one cent a bag? Are you trying to make me a profiteer?" Yan Jiefang said angrily.
Although a pack of instant noodles only costs five cents, people still buy it for a few dimes, and this is speculation.
The country has zero tolerance for speculation.
There were only twenty packets of instant noodles in total, and it was generous of Yan Jiefang to give them to a few children to try. He was reluctant to sell them.
"You have twenty packs of instant noodles. Sell me two packs!"
“Don’t be stingy!”
Not only the two educated youth, but some villagers also wanted to buy it.
You can buy a pack of instant noodles for five cents and smile secretly.
An auntie smiled and said to Yan Jiefang: "Give me a pack of instant noodles and my daughter Yadan will marry you."
The lady had a round face, wore a headscarf and carried a bucket in her hands.
