Basically Nanjie is supposed to be the "last/most Maoist city " in China. Theres big ass pics of Marx Engels Stalin Lenin etc etc in the town square. The town doesnt have real money they do their own thing. Idk how to add pics but they basically have this as their city’s pride you can look it up or visit their site http://www.nanjiecun.cn/ (edit site might be broken on some browsers but u can look them up and get information) but all the stuff they make is here: http://www.nanjiecun.cn/njcjt.asp They make instant noodles which is like their most famous thing they make. I got the Beijing style noodles for this post again idk how to put a picture in the post but I did cooked them. They are basically generic crappy cheap instant noodles (basically so cheap they might as well give them away for free seriously.) Anyway these basically taste like generic cheap instant noodles which they are I would review the actual good noodles that they have with the classy fresh pack but I dont have them rn. Also they make wooden crafts and shit that look really nice again check their website

This isn’t quite true. The town pays salaries both to residents and migrants who come to it for work, but the salaries are quite low in exchange for the town providing free housing, food, utilities, and so on to those in it. In fact the town’s relative success compared to that of the rest of the region its in causes it to draw in a lot of migrant workers, according to Wikipedia as many as three times the actual resident population.
Super interesting place, I want to visit China and this city in particular.
There’s a workaround to uploading images to hexbear. Hit “create post”, then upload the image as normal. You can then copy the link to the image without having to actually submit the post.
I think this link works https://files.catbox.moe/7xa9td.png and no people I didnt take this in the void i just wanted to show it off. It got squished under my other stuff i was buying so thats why it looks so weird. I tried to make it look like the picture on the packaging bc i probably added too much water and I ended up putting green onions and tomato slices to try to make it look like kinda the pic on the packaging but i forgot to get a photo of that (is adding stuff to instant noodles a form of bourgeoisie decadence?) Anyway theyre fine just cheap instant noodles that you just pour hot water on but id rather eat them dry with the packet dumped on them dry crunchy but i might do a post of the other meals they make that are actually good
I’ve never seen anyone eat this the normal way (steeping them in hot water to make noodle soup), these are usually eaten dry by opening the bag, taking the spice pack out (most contemporary instant noodles have oil and sauce and freeze dried veggies, these archaic ones just have the salty msg powder), crunching the noodle into pieces, putting the spice over the dry noodle, pinching the bag shut and shaking it to make a salty msgy spicy noodle snack
across the strait they have something called “science noodle” 科学面 which is the same thing just milder and has a merlin wizard dude on the package
Yea in my post i wrote the same. they taste better that way dry with the packet, i just wanted to make it look like the picture on the pack for the post but failed pretty miserably probably due to being inebriated. if i post about treatums again it will be about the actual good ones these guys make that come in a tray (the cold noodle one slaps)
Gosh, that sounds terrible. At least with soup it’s a meal, though a poor one. I’ve bought the most expensive dry noodle packs there are in the hopes they’d be worth it, but no. They’re not much better than the cheap ones.
The noodles are significantly better between regular maruchan ramen and the maruchan gold shit…
Well gosh, nobody eats dry noodles. Yuk. Noodles are always served in soup. It’s the correct presentation. It’s why they come in a bowl. Just add boiling water.

I do this but still make soup idk why you’d want to eat the dry ass noodles :visible-disgust:
Chips don’t need to be rehydrated to be palatable, eating dry noodles is self harm
