After being expelled from the mansion, I changed the dynasty by writing novels.

Chapter 255 Tinkering with Instant Noodles

"Instant noodles"?! What is that?

These Turks had no idea what this thing was; they thought it was some kind of drug that could boost one's energy and make one stronger in a short time.

"This thing appeared suddenly. When the Su family army was besieged by us and could only eat dry rations, someone secretly sent this thing to them. After they ate it, they launched a counterattack the next day."

"I heard that this item was developed based on a storybook from Jin Kingdom!"

The Turkic general sitting at the head of the table was repeatedly surprised upon hearing the report from his subordinate.

"A storybook? What kind of storybook could possibly contain such things?"

"I've made a special inquiry, and this novel, called 'The Little Chef of the Jin Dynasty,' has been a sensation in Jin Kingdom for quite some time! A bookstore has only recently opened on the border of Jin Kingdom, and I've heard that it sells it!"

The general sitting at the head of the table had a solemn expression, and his hawk-like eyes were so sharp that they inspired fear in everyone.

"Send men disguised to infiltrate Youzhou and find out the truth about this matter." After saying this, the man added, "And also..."

After hearing the order, the Turks inside the tent led their men out of the tent to carry out their tasks.

Meanwhile, in Youzhou City, the Minister of Agriculture kept praising Ye Yuwu.

"Yu Wu, you're so smart! How did you manage to make that kind of noodle?"

"Instant noodles," the display screen next to it added.

"Ah! Right, right! This instant noodle can be drunk just by soaking it in water, and it tastes even better with the seasoning. The key is that it can be eaten hot during marches and battles. All you need to do is boil water! The soldiers have been fighting hard for many days, and the weather has been the coldest recently. After eating the noodles you made, their bodies have warmed up, and the soldiers have recovered and have the strength to win the battle!"

The Minister of Agriculture had accompanied the delegation to the supply depot ahead and had naturally noticed the convenience of this place; no wonder it was called instant noodles.

Ye Yuwu realized at this point that she shouldn't take credit for the work, as the matter would likely spread throughout the entire border region, and she couldn't afford to become a target.

"I didn't come up with this on my own; I read a storybook before I made it."

They were still inside the bookstore, and their conversation was naturally overheard by passersby who had come to buy books from there.

"Is the shopkeeper referring to 'The Little Chef of the Hibiscus Dynasty'?"

Ye Yuwu looked up and saw a man in a short jacket suddenly ask a question.

She nodded. "Of course."

"Hey! I'm a big fan of Mr. Wuming's stories! I've read almost all of Mr. Wuming's novels. I heard that we drove out the Turks this time thanks to these instant noodles. I'm so excited and proud!"

Hua Ping was startled by the man's excited gesticulation and asked blankly, "Why are you so excited and proud?"

"Tsk! As a book lover of Mr. Wuming, how can I not be excited and proud that Mr. Wuming's words can be put into practice and bring victory to the country? This is probably the proudest moment for all good book lovers in the world."

Hua Ping couldn't understand the fans' fervor. She silently complained to herself, "It's not like they wrote the book themselves. Why are they more excited than the actual writers? Her daughter is just standing calmly to the side!"

Ye Yuwu didn't say anything, but the brother couldn't help but frown and say, "Why don't you guys have any reaction at all?"

The group clapped and laughed in unison. The man, noticing their perfunctory attitude, continued, "Shopkeeper, the news should spread within the next few days. Soon, people from several nearby states will come to sell these stories. You'd better prepare well!"

"Uh, thank you for your concern!"

"I don't care about your bookstore. You should prepare more storybooks. Whether Mr. Wuming's reputation will be known to the world depends on this!"

This is the same principle as modern fans wanting their idols to have a smooth and successful career!

Ye Yuwu suddenly understood!

This guy kept posting, "And we need to prepare those picture books too..."

Ye Yuwu couldn't hear anything more after that, just then several burly men walked into the bookstore.

Lang Sheng then said to Ye Yuwu, "Shopkeeper, do you have the book 'The Little Chef of Jin Dynasty'?"

Ye Yuwu was startled by his aura and nodded repeatedly. Huaping, with her keen eye, took the book from the bookshelf and brought it in front of them.

The group glanced at the book cover, paid, and left.

These people, carrying books, avoided the crowd and happened to walk into a dark and narrow alley.

Before they could utter a sound, their hands and feet were bound behind their backs, and they were forced to kneel on the ground. The speed was so fast that it only took an instant. These were the strongest secret guards in Youzhou, and they were naturally no match for them. They didn't even know when they had been targeted.

The leader's eyes were filled with shattered disbelief.

Su Wangyan and Bai Zunyue emerged together from the shadows on one side.

"How...how did you find out?" Their disguise was flawless, and they even specifically learned the Youzhou dialect, how could this be?!

Bai Zunyue and Su Wangyan naturally wouldn't reveal this, but instead walked up to the leader and took the book that had inadvertently been exposed due to his struggle from his arms.

"Take him away," Su Wangyan said to the guards.

Seeing that they were about to be taken away, the group tried to bite their tongues to commit suicide, but someone noticed their intentions, stuffed rags into their mouths, and then silently took them away.

Bai Zunyue's slender fingers held the book.

"As expected, we were targeted."

Su Wangyan frowned, clearly sensing that Bai Zunyue was still hiding something.

"Why are you protecting a woman like this?" Ye Yuwu was only a sixth-rank official. He had come to the border as an assistant to the Minister of Agriculture. However, he gradually discovered that almost all the guards who came with them were protecting Ye Yuwu.

Bai Zunyue smiled faintly, "General Su, this is beyond your ability to investigate. Your purpose is to guard this place well."

Su Wangyan's eyes deepened because of his words.

"We need to find out the purpose of this group from those people we just spoke to. General Su, if your subordinates can't do it, why don't you let my men do it?"

"Marquis Wu'an, don't forget, this is my territory!"

Su Wangyan looked at him with a cold smile.

In fact, those people were indeed perfectly disguised, but the money bags they showed when paying gave away their identities. In the border region, no one would use money bags sewn from sheepskin.

Another thing is that their Youzhou dialect is so fluent and standard.

Of course, Su Wangyan would not say these things aloud. Nowadays, there are many spies on the border, and one is afraid that someone might overhear his words.

By then, these spies will be even more perfectly disguised, and it will take some effort to find them one by one.

Ye Yuwu was unaware of what was happening in the alley.

As that passerby said, I don't know when the story of the border guards winning a battle after eating "instant noodles" while fighting on the border became widely known.

Besides the increased number of people buying books at bookstores, some people have also started tinkering with this "instant noodle" product.

This matter also reached Bianjing (Kaifeng).
