Recently the cafeteria has introduced some kind of spicy cold noodles and the like, which really do not suit my taste, so I can’t help thinking nostalgically of Shanghai cold noodles eaten with peanut butter. I also don’t know where in Beijing one can eat Shanghai-style cold noodles……

Just as I was thinking about it, I happened upon a kind of instant noodles—the mixed noodles in the Nanjiecun wet-noodle series. They are said to be non-fried and to use lactic-acid preservation technology, so the noodles come out wet right away and can be eaten mixed together without hot water. What a marvelous world!

Even more marvelous is that I actually thought of buying a jar of peanut butter, and every time I eat this kind of mixed noodles, I add peanut butter myself. The effect is excellent! It’s even tastier than the cold noodles made by some lousy little snack shops in Shanghai! Of course, the flavor is weird; it is by no means any flavor from Shanghai or the north. Thus was born Gu-style instant cold noodles—the key is that this noodle doesn’t even need hot water, which is to say I can eat the long-cherished peanut-butter mixed noodles without even getting out of bed. Wahahaha!!
