The man was pondering what kind of feelings Wen Ran had for that "Brother Mo Bei" when he heard her nervously interrupt Grandma, "Grandma, let's not bring up the past."
After she finished speaking, Wen Ran changed the subject, "Grandma, what delicious thing are you planning to make for me today?"
Grandma played coy, "Guess?"
Wen Ran guessed along, "Stewed noodles?"
Stewed noodles was a dish that most people in their town knew how to make; with cool water, add salt to the dough and let it rest for a while. Then roll out the dough, spread oil on it, cut it into long strips, pile them together, and let it rest again. During this process, one could stir-fry the toppings. Once the water boiled, you could pull the noodle strips apart and cook them.
Wen Ran's favorite noodles to eat were stewed noodles.
Not only were the stewed noodles chewy and fragrant, but they also happened to be the wide noodles that she liked.
