Chapter 644: The Temptation of Chicken Soup Noodles

The sick bay kitchen had ready-made boards, rolling pins, and dough bowls; having enjoyed exploring cuisine in her spare time in her past life, cooking posed no problem.

The village's large stoves burned firewood, but fortunately, during the time her father was hospitalized, she had learned a great deal from other patients' families, so now she could handle this charcoal stove with ease.

Not long after the noodles went into the pot, Xiao Guo came over: "Comrade Liu, the Deputy Commander sent me to see if there's anything I can help with."

Liu Chuxue had just borrowed a large basin from the canteen: "I've cooked chicken soup noodles; take the cooked ones up first so they can eat."

She even pointed to the prepared condiments: "Take those along too, and let them add according to their own tastes."

As soon as Xiao Guo entered, the aroma hit him; he struggled for a long while to keep from making a fool of himself, but seeing the chopped green onions, pepper powder, cooked greens, and scrambled eggs arranged by the porcelain basin, his eyes sparkled: "Good."

As he carried the porcelain basin out, he said: "I'll take the noodles up first and come back later."

Liu Chuxue nodded; naturally, she wouldn't refuse, after all, he truly couldn't carry everything in one trip.

The two people in the ward never expected Liu Chuxue to mean what she said and actually bring them food.

Although they hadn't seen what Xiao Guo was carrying, the moment he entered, the aroma made them swallow their saliva.

Instructor Guo couldn't sit still any longer; he took a lunch box out from the bedside table: "Just the smell makes one's appetite soar."

Xiao Guo, who was fiercely protective of his own, placed the porcelain basin directly on his Deputy Commander's bedside table: "Deputy Commander, Comrade Liu made chicken soup noodles; they're very fragrant. Let me serve you a full enamel mug first."

He took an enamel mug from the bedside table, filled it completely with noodles, and only then said to Instructor Guo and Company Commander Su: "You two serve yourselves first; I'll go get the condiments."

Having spoken, he ran out.

Not much time passed before he returned with the condiments in hand: "Here, here, here. Comrade Liu said to add according to your own tastes."

Seeing what Xiao Guo held, Instructor Guo exclaimed: "Oh my, the preparations are truly complete."

This time, Xiao Guo didn't rush to serve his own Deputy Commander first; after Instructor Guo and Company Commander Su had taken some, he walked over to his Deputy Commander's side: "Comrade Liu said you'd better add less of the spicy things, but you can add more of these greens and scrambled eggs."

Fu Yan Cheng naturally knew that not letting him add more was for his own good; he listened to the advice, added quite a lot of blanched greens and scrambled eggs into his enamel mug, and began eating in large mouthfuls.

The taste was truly excellent, so much so that before Liu Chuxue could bring up the second pot of chicken soup noodles, the four of them had already devoured the entire first porcelain basin of noodles.

When Xiao Guo brought the empty porcelain basin to the kitchen, Liu Chuxue's second basin of chicken soup noodles was just coming out of the pot: "You've come at just the right time; take this basin of noodles up too."

Once Xiao Guo left, she washed the used utensils clean, sealed the stove opening, and only then carried her own lunch box toward the ward.

However, as soon as she reached the second floor, she saw several people standing outside Fu Yan Cheng's ward door.

Thinking something must have happened, she quickly quickened her pace.

Upon approaching, she heard voices from inside: "You fool, leave a bite for me!"

"Deputy Commander Fu, if your sister-in-law can make chicken soup noodles this well, she must be good at everything else; you'll have a wonderful life ahead, truly making me envious to death."

"Enough; for the sake of a bite of food, look at your lack of dignity."

"Instructor, that's unfair of you; you ate the most of all. If you keep talking like that, we won't get along."

Company Commander Su, standing nearby, couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
