Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

In those days, brands like Master Kong and Uni-President had not yet entered the Chinese mainland market, but instant noodles produced in China are definitely the clearest memory for people of that era.

Brands like Lao Yan Du instant noodles, Da Hong Men instant noodles, and Long Feng instant noodles are sold nationwide.

Of course, there are also some brands that sell only locally and not outside the province, which are quite legitimate.

The instant noodles Wang Li is holding are the famous Longfeng instant noodles.

The best thing about this instant noodle is that it tastes good whether you eat it dry or soak it in boiling water. Even the seasoning packet can be eaten as a snack, licked off bit by bit with your tongue.

If you simply brew a bowl of seasoned soup with boiling water, you can enjoy it for half an hour. The wonderful feeling that touches your taste buds is unmatched by any other food.

After Wang An finished speaking, Wang Li said with a mix of regret and remorse:
"Why don't we listen to you and buy a few more boxes? I think my younger sister, my nephew, and my Xiuyu all love this stuff."

What Wang An really wanted to say was that, let alone children or your wives, you should know that until two thousand years ago, instant noodles were a food suitable for all ages.

I still remember when Wang An was in prison in his previous life, he spent almost all of the allowance he earned there on instant noodles. And when he wanted to eat instant noodles, he had to give the guard two packets before the guard would reluctantly cook them for him or boil some water to make two packets for him.

Inside the fenced area, instant noodles truly felt like an unparalleled delicacy! They added a touch of happiness to the otherwise dull and tedious life inside.

As for the many people who say instant noodles have no nutritional value, just give me a damn! I care about how delicious instant noodles are, who cares about nutrition? That's ridiculous.

While Wang An was lost in thought, he saw Mu Xueli holding the steering wheel with one hand and grabbing a bag of instant noodles with the other, taking a big bite of the noodles.

While munching on it, Mu Xueli interjected:
"Yeah, this stuff is really delicious. I think I bought too little. My sister and my Xiuhong will definitely love it too."

Wang An rolled his eyes at Mu Xueli and Wang Li and said:

"Can't you two think about anything? Who doesn't love good food? What's wrong? All you do is talk about your wives and girls all day long, have you forgotten about your parents?"

The two men gave an awkward laugh and explained, "Let's eat together, let's eat together."

Wang An didn't know why, but whenever he thought of the instant noodles he ate in the fenced area in his previous life, he also thought of the bowl of stewed chicken that his parents had sent him, which had already gone bad and spoiled.

So Wang An then said to the two men:

“From now on, we’ll all be more careful. The things we like to eat, our parents will definitely like to eat too. Don’t just assume that it doesn’t matter whether they eat it or not.”

Since his rebirth, Wang An has done a good job in this regard. He knows that his parents don't dislike many of the foods they eat, but rather they are reluctant to eat them.

Under this ingrained way of thinking, many people subconsciously believe that snacks and treats are for the younger family members or children, completely forgetting about their parents.

After Wang An finished speaking, Mu Xueli and Wang Li were stunned. The awkward smiles that had been on their faces disappeared instantly, and they both looked thoughtful.

Wang An did not elaborate on this matter, but after thinking for a moment, he said:

"I bought a lot, I'll give one to each of you when we get back."

To be honest, when Wang An saw instant noodles for sale in the mall, he was immediately delighted and bought 10 boxes without hesitation.

One box contains 40 bags, which means I bought a total of 400 bags.

Fortunately, the supply and marketing cooperative offered a discount for buying in bulk. The normal retail price was 32 cents plus 2 liang of grain coupons per bag, while buying in bulk cost 12 yuan plus 8 jin of grain coupons per box.

That's right, you don't need food coupons to buy biscuits anymore, they're just a little more expensive, but you still need food coupons to buy instant noodles at this time.

I don't know the specific reason.

Although Wang Li and Mu Xueli didn't know what instant noodles were at the time, seeing that Wang An had bought some, they each bought three cases as well. After Wang An finished speaking, Wang Li hurriedly added:

"That's great! Hahaha, but I'm out of food coupons. What do you think we should do, Fourth Brother?"

Mu Xueli also said:

"Brother-in-law, I'm out of food coupons too."

Wang An rolled his eyes at the two of them and said nonchalantly:
"Do you think I'd be short of a few pounds of grain coupons?"

Wang An had a lot of grain coupons in his hand and at home. The main reason was that after the autumn harvest, Wang An's family had no shortage of grain, so apart from buying biscuits and some grain products, Wang An's family basically had no other use for grain coupons.

Wang Li chuckled and said:

"It's great to follow Fourth Brother, hehehehe."

Mu Xueli also smiled and said:

"Yeah, it's definitely easier to stay with my brother-in-law, hehehe."

The car kept going even after the people stopped, and when the three of them had passed a village not far away, another unexpected event occurred.

Through the car window, Wang An and his two companions could see several torches standing on the road ahead.

Wang An suddenly felt quite irritated.

If Wang An's prediction is correct, these torches should be another group of highway robbers. Of course, Wang An cannot be sure whether the people in front of him are actually robbers.

The reason for using the word "again" is that Wang An and his two companions had already encountered a group during the day.

However, the robbers during the day were actually villagers from the area who wanted to make some extra money during the winter off-season.

But I don't know what's going on with this wave right now.

To be honest, there were a lot of highway robbers around at that time.

At this moment, Wang Li was driving, and he couldn't help but ask Wang An nervously:
"Fourth Brother, what should we do?"

Wang An did not answer, but instead carefully observed the situation ahead by the light of the car headlights. In the end, Wang An discovered that these people had not set up roadblocks, perhaps because they were too confident in their own strength.

After confirming that there were no roadblocks, Wang An was overjoyed, because for the Great Liberation, human power was absolutely not enough to stop it.

So, Wang An rolled down the car window and said:
"Step on the gas and go straight ahead."

After Wang An finished speaking, the car window was already open. Wang An held the large 54 pistol out the window and began to pull the trigger repeatedly towards the flames of the torches.

At this time, you absolutely cannot stop the car, and you absolutely cannot hesitate in the slightest.

However, unable to distinguish whether these people were robbers or not, Wang An could only shoot at the torches.

Gunshots rang out, and several torches were immediately knocked away, while the people holding the torches scattered to both sides of the road.

Wang Li had already floored the accelerator, so as soon as the people dispersed, he drove off. (End of Chapter)
