Chapter 250: Precious things must be given in sufficient quantities
A mouthful of noodles goes into the mouth, mixed with the soup.
Jiang Che's expression froze instantly. He looked down at the noodles in his hand in disbelief. The soup was clearly clear, so why was it so salty?
"How is it? Is it delicious?" Ding Ning looked at Jiang Che expectantly. When she saw him stop, she couldn't help but ask worriedly.
"This is my first time cooking human food. If it doesn't taste good, you must tell me." Ding Ning held up his chin and watched Jiang Che eat obediently.
"Have you eaten it?" Jiang Che gestured and looked at the bowl in his hand.
"I took a bite, but I couldn't taste anything." Ding Ning shook his head. "I saw the recipe and it said to add a little salt, but the salt was too small, just grains of it." Ding Ning looked at the bag of salt in his hand in distress.
She couldn't taste the flavor. The recipe tutorial said a small amount, and the picture only showed half a spoonful of salt.
She always felt that the food tasted bland.
Jiang Che glanced at the bag of salt in her hand.
Although he grew up in a mental hospital, he also knows some simple things.
When he saw that the brand new bag of salt in Ding Ning's hand was one-third empty, he knew something was wrong.
The senses of high-level survivors are even more acute.
"Is it delicious?" Ding Ning stared into Jiang Che's eyes expectantly.
"Delicious!" Jiang Che nodded vigorously and took a few more sips. The taste of salt filled his lips and teeth, but he still thought it was delicious.
Ding Ning frowned. She couldn't taste anything, but she felt that Jiang Che's mood was very strange at the moment.
There is touching, happiness, joy, and of course, a little imperceptible pain.
Seeing her frown, Jiang Che quickly asked, what's wrong?
"I just feel that your mood is a little strange." Ding Ning couldn't tell what was strange, but she was sure that Jiang Che was happy.
"That must be because I'm sad that you can't eat with me." Jiang Che said as he put down the bowl. This was indeed something that made him sad.
Ding Ning couldn't taste the food, but he was not afraid that it would be too salty. It was just that in the other life he had experienced, no matter how late his family came back, everyone would wait until everyone else came home before starting to eat.
"This!" Ding Ning smiled immediately, and she leaned over and took out another bowl of noodles from the table below.
“I was afraid it wouldn’t taste good, so I cooked it many times.” Ding Ning stuck out her tongue at Jiang Che sheepishly, picked up the chopsticks playfully and cutely, and took a small sip, imitating Jiang Che’s appearance.
She couldn't taste anything, but she could feel the smooth noodles entering her mouth.
Although she couldn't taste the flavor, she had mastered how to cook the noodles to the best degree.
"Let me eat with you." She took small sips and looked at Jiang Che from time to time.
Jiang Che nodded and ate the noodles in the bowl in big mouthfuls.
"I will cook for you every day from now on, okay? Just tell me what you want to eat and I will learn how to make it." Ding Ning looked at Jiang Che with a smile, while in his other hand he was fiddling with a cookbook that he had found from somewhere.
"Is it delicious?" Ding Ning stared at Jiang Che again, wanting to get an answer from him.
"It's delicious and not salty." Jiang Che looked at Ding Ning affirmatively.
"That's good." Ding Ning nodded thoughtfully. She looked at the dishes on the recipe in her hand, thinking about the meaning of Jiang Che's words.
Not salty means, do I need to add a little more salt?
She looked at the bag of salt in her hand, and it seemed that, for such a big pot of vegetables and such a big piece of meat, just adding a spoonful of salt was indeed a bit too little. She should add the same amount as the meat and vegetables.
No wonder salt is a precious commodity in human history. When she has nothing to do, she will learn about human history and some human recipes.
There were a lot of seasonings in the recipes that she couldn't understand, but from the descriptions she knew that most of them only required salt.
After the oil is hot, put the vegetables in and stir-fry. This is what she has learned recently.
It seems that next time I need to compare the amount of meat and add the same amount to make the best meal.
Ding Ning stared at the recipe and thought while eating noodles.
She couldn't taste anything, but that didn't stop her from liking to taste human food.
It is said that different foods have different tastes, and seasonings and flavors are added later. Some foods can make you feel happy just by the taste.
Ding Ning only added salt for the time being, but she knew that salt was very important in human history.
No wonder salt has been scarce throughout history.
She looked for cooking supplies from the evil spirits. There were always some human remains in the previous copies.
But after searching for a long time, they only found a few bags of salt.
There is no more to be found.
She saw in the tutorial that the humans put very little, so she couldn't help but put more for Jiang Che.
Precious things must be given in sufficient quantities.
She would give Jiang Che everything that others could not give him before.
Looking at the bag of salt in her hand, she now had little salt left, but she had no intention of saving it.
Jiang Che didn't stay here for a long time. After going to the human world, she could look for more supplies.
She would just give him as much as she had now. She wanted Jiang Che to know that he was the happiest person in the world.
"When we go to your place later, we will invite your friends to our house and I will cook for everyone." Ding Ning was referring to Jiang Che's few friends.
At that time, she would definitely add a lot of salt so that Jiang Che's friends could have a big meal. These precious things might be saved in other people's homes, but she wanted to tell Jiang Che's friends that there was no need to save at all with Jiang Che!
I will give all the most precious things to Jiang Che!
Jiang Che didn't know what Ding Ning was thinking when he heard her cooking for her friends.
Jiang Che nodded vigorously, "Then everyone will be able to taste my wife's cooking. I will be so happy!"
He really felt happy. In his heart, salt and other things were not as important as the thoughtful care.
As for what his friends would think, he didn’t care. Everyone’s taste buds were different, so as long as they liked it, that was fine.
Ding Ning looked at Jiang Che's excitement and secretly sighed. She whispered to Ah Hua, "Hua, please find me some more salt. Human salt is really too precious."
"Let's find some more. I need to invite Jiang Che's friends to my house for dinner, and I also need to entertain the guests."
"Do we need so much?" Ah Hua asked doubtfully. In her impression, humans don't use much salt.
"I've already put a lot in it, but Jiang Che still says it's not salty enough. Salt is so precious to humans. It seems like he really didn't eat well before. I have to make it up to him."
