Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Since Shi Lin said so, Wang Jianjun agreed.

If I make good friends with Shi Lin now, I will have more connections when I go to the inland to do business in the future.

After Shi Lin left, Shi Yong did not leave with Wang Jianjun.

Because Shi Lin told him to contact Wang Jianjun for help only when he encountered danger or could not solve the problem.

As for other matters, he needs to handle them himself.

Wang Jianjun thought about it and took out a coin from his pocket, marked it, and gave it to him, telling him to go to the three Lei Bao brothers if he encountered any difficulties in the future.

Shi Yong nodded, took the coin, said hello and left.

On the other side, Tanshan City, China.

In later generations, this was a city rich in natural scenery.

But because of the earthquake, this place is now in ruins, with collapsed houses, cracked roads and panicked people everywhere.

Some of them were anxiously calling out the names of their loved ones in the ruins, some were sitting helplessly on the street crying, and others were being rescued from the ruins by rescuers, covered in dust and scars.

The most serious problem facing the rescue team now is food shortage.

It will take a long time to transfer grain from other areas to meet the food gap of hundreds of thousands of people.

What's more, China has just enough food now.

Just when the rescue team director was worried that food was running out.

A team member suddenly ran over excitedly and shouted:

"Director Jiang! There's food! The people above are sending food over!"

Director Jiang stood up excitedly, grabbed his hand and shouted:

"Where did the food come from? And how much is there?!"

"I don't know, but there are several truckloads. I estimate it will be enough for at least ten days. And I heard that there will be more to come."

Upon hearing that there was enough food for more than ten days, Director Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and without caring about anything else ran straight to the rescue team's convoy.

Sure enough, when he arrived, he saw some rescue team members carrying boxes of supplies down from the train.

Director Jiang opened a box and found that it was filled with packages of biscuit-like things wrapped in red plastic.

"what is this?"

Director Jiang picked up a pack and squeezed it.

Feels like cookies.

The packaging bag also has a picture of a man wearing a chef's hat and apron, holding a ladle in his hand.

“Master Nan’s braised beef noodles???”

Director Jiang then realized that the package in his hand should be instant noodles.

In fact, China already had instant noodle factories at this time.

It has only been introduced a few years ago and due to its low production, it is rarely sold on the market.

Director Jiang had only seen it but had never eaten it.

The first time he saw someone eating instant noodles, he was attracted by the aroma of the noodles.

Although he was curious why the relief food turned into instant noodles, he didn't care about that at the moment and directly asked his men to boil water and cook instant noodles.

Instant noodles, a fast food, are indeed very convenient for disaster relief.

As long as you have boiling water, add the instant noodle seasoning and wait for a few minutes and you can eat it.

The rescue team acted quickly, and soon the victims each had a bowl of instant noodles and were enjoying it.

In the face of such a despairing natural disaster, a bowl of hot instant noodles can really soothe one's heart.

Smell the fragrance wafting in the space.

Director Jiang and several of his men could no longer control themselves.

Seeing that there was still a lot of instant noodles left, they simply made themselves a pack of instant noodles.

As soon as Director Jiang took a bite of the noodles, he was attracted by the taste.

For him, who usually eats steamed bread and cabbage all year round, white flour steamed buns are a rare delicacy.

Not to mention the instant noodles with heavy seasonings. The first time he ate this kind of instant noodles, he just thought it was the most delicious thing in the world.

No other delicacy can compare to it.

Director Jiang finally knew what the instant noodles that colleague ate tasted like, and he even felt that the bowl of instant noodles he was eating now was more delicious than the one his colleague had eaten before.

Many years later, whenever Director Jiang recalled the disaster relief effort, he would go buy a pack of instant noodles, and it had to be the Master Nan brand.

Wang Jianjun prepared a lot of things this time, including instant noodles, canned ham, luncheon meat and other instant foods.

These are all processed by his food processing factory.

As for why he was called Master Nan, that was just Wang Jianjun's bad taste.

Master Nan is Nan Yi, and these instant noodle flavors were developed by Nan Yi based on the flavors that Wang Jianjun was familiar with in later generations.

When deciding on the brand names for these products, Wang Jianjun had a flash of inspiration and decided to copy the Master Kong brand.

Of course, the brand Master Kong did not appear until the 1990s.

So it will be hard to say who is copying whom at that time.

Wang Jianjun directly used Nan Yi’s photo as the image spokesperson and put it on the instant noodle packaging.

The costume is based on Stephen Chow's classic God of Cookery image.

At first, Nan Yi rejected Wang Jianjun's proposal.

But after the renderings came out, Nan Yi directly criticized the person for what he did.

Wang Jianjun also had his own little thoughts when he used Master Nan instant noodles for disaster relief this time.

That is to advertise your own instant noodles.

That's why the amount of instant noodles he transported to the country was quite large, so much so that the government even allocated a portion of it to the old city to distribute to the disaster-stricken residents.

When Wang Jianjun saw Yan Fugui coming back with a few packets of instant noodles in his hands, he was also a little surprised.

Yan Fugui said to Wang Jianjun cheerfully:

"Jianjun, go to the street office and get some instant noodles. The street office said everyone can get nine packets. If we eat three packets a day, it will be enough for three days of food. We should thank the country for this."

"Ah... yes... yes."

Wang Jianjun smiled awkwardly. He never expected that the instant noodles he gave out for disaster relief would one day be distributed to him.

This is really laughable.

However, this also shows that there is enough food left in the disaster-stricken areas for disaster relief.

As for going to the street office to get instant noodles, forget it.

When I was in Hong Kong, I was already tired of eating all kinds of luxurious instant noodles.

After receiving the instant noodles, Yan Fugui happily went back to the central courtyard to eat them.

Soon, everyone in the hospital rushed to the street office, fearing that they would not be able to get instant noodles if they were late.

Shazhu was also a little curious when he smelled the aroma of the instant noodles.

It was also the first time for him to see instant noodles.

I didn’t expect that the instant noodles made with such simple operations tasted so good.

The pancake must have been fried, and the independent seasoning packet is similar to his secret Sichuan cuisine seasoning.

This also gave Shazhu some inspiration.

Also, he always felt that the person on the instant noodles packaging was somewhat familiar.

It seems like I have seen it somewhere.
