Chapter 715 - 658: Key
The next day.
Tao Lu joined Jiang Yuan and the others for breakfast in the temporary office.
The long conference table, once laid out with food, was surprisingly convenient. Tofu pudding, soy milk, fried dough sticks, oil cakes, sticky rice dumplings, soup noodles, and noodles—some of which were purchased and some were prepared by the chef from Shan Nan.
Beyond that, the most popular was the braised beef. Different from the boiled beef from yesterday, the braised beef had a darker color and a slightly spicy taste. Chewing it revealed the complexity of its flavors, and the sense of satisfaction from eating it alone was very strong, and paired with noodles or rice noodles, it was unbeatable.
Especially in a place like this office, any kind of noodles or rice noodles topped with a layer of braised beef would instantly elevate the dish by three grades. It was not only about feeling an increase in the quality of life but also about feeling alive like a person.
Tao Lu chose a bowl of beef soup noodles and was too lazy to talk. He topped it with a thick layer of beef and ate respectfully.
So-called beef soup noodles were simply noodles boiled and then put into the broth from yesterday’s beef. The broth was steaming hot, and just with a handful of noodles and a dash of salt and pepper, the aroma filled the room.
Because it was breakfast, the portion of noodles wasn’t large. Tao Lu slurped them down quickly, leaving behind a bowl full of soup. After drinking a few sips and not feeling quite satisfied, he ordered a meat-stuffed bun.
Today’s bun was a steamed bun filled with braised beef.
The steamed buns had just been made, covered in cloth in the cafeteria, and promptly brought over while still steaming.
