Gu Fang nodded gently and walked slowly with Lin Yi along the corridor. To give the servants enough time to set up the dining hall, they deliberately took a detour. When they entered the dining hall, the noodles were already placed on the table, and more than half a cup of tea's time had passed.
Lin Yi stepped forward, lifted the bowl lid, picked up the bamboo chopsticks, and gently stirred. She picked up a few strands of noodles and examined them carefully. The noodles had absorbed the broth and were cooked to perfection.
She sighed in relief and sat down opposite Gu Fang. The first bite of noodles was chewy with the warm flavor of spices, and the hot soup slid down her throat, making her whole body feel comfortable. Lin Yi's heart settled, and she thought to herself that tonight, there was no need for the kitchen to prepare anything else.
Throughout the entire dinner, the two of them only had a bowl of instant noodles each, without any other dishes. After the meal, they took a walk as usual, strolling slowly along the garden path. Gu Fang suddenly spoke. "It tastes very good. This method is indeed convenient—just add boiling water and it's ready to eat. In the future, during marches, if we hunt some wild game or fresh mountain produce and cook them together in the pot, it should be even more flavorful."
Hearing this, Lin Yi's eyes curved into soft crescents. "I'm glad it can be useful. Having more food is good." She paused, turned her head to look at Gu Fang, and her tone turned serious. "I don't know anything about warfare. Husband, can you tell me what difficulties soldiers face? I want to see if there's anything I can help with."
