<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="1" >01. Not all instant noodles are popular</h1>
Before a disaster, any food or drink was an extremely valuable commodity.
Last year, the outbreak of the epidemic broke out, and some areas with serious epidemics were closed management, and many people rushed to supermarkets to purchase supplies before the official closure. Images uploaded to social media by netizens at the time showed that food and drinks on the shelves of major supermarkets were swept away---
Even the instant noodles that have been labeled "junk food" and "difficult to digest" have been robbed of only a few packs---
On another shelf, however, a very different scene appeared. Rows of green packaging came into view, and those who did not know thought that they had suddenly entered the Hulunbuir grassland---
It turned out to be the mushroom stewed chicken noodles that could be called "eating it once and never wanting to eat it a second time". To be honest, I personally find this flavor of instant noodles weird, so I can understand why they don't buy them.
However, when this matter was uploaded to the Internet, it immediately rushed to the hot search and became the object of ridicule by netizens---
There are even a large number of media articles to respond, which is to drag the reputation of shiitake mushroom stewed chicken noodles to an unprecedented low---
However, with the fermentation of hot spots, we also know that shiitake mushroom stewed chicken is not lonely, and it can be learned from the news from netizens around the world that citizens in different regions have different stubbornness:
The stubbornness of the people of Shanghai is that no matter how fragrant your "spicy beef" noodles are, we don't eat ---
Speaking of not eating spicy, it seems that residents of the area where this netizen is located also reject spicy instant noodles---
Even Chef Kong's signature braised beef noodles can't get into people's eyes---
However, as the saying goes, "Feng Shui takes turns", and just over a year later, we have recently seen a different scene. Fortunately, the mushroom stewed chicken noodles have finally turned over this year!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="96" >02.Shiitake mushroom stew chicken finally raised its eyebrows? </h1>
Just in the two days of the handover in mid-to-late July, Zhengzhou, Henan Province, was suddenly hit by a once-in-a-millennium rainstorm, and the local town streets were also covered by river water and rainwater, causing immeasurable economic losses and valuable loss of life---
No one can predict how long such a disaster will last, but there is support from all sides, in addition to receiving blessings and material support from all sides, local citizens also go out to buy supplies when the rain turns small, and instant noodles that can be preserved for a long time have naturally become the first choice.
Some netizens in Zhengzhou posted blogs on social media showing that most of the shelves of instant noodles in local supermarkets have been swept away by residents, and only "Tang Da Ren" is still left on the shelves alone and beautiful, and no one cares---
From the pictures of other netizens, it can be seen that this time it is no longer shiitake mushroom stewed chicken, but "turkey noodles" from South Korea, and the rest of the flavors seem to have been swept away---
Some netizens posted shelves that were basically emptied (leaving only two or three boxes of Sim Ramen), and basically stopped seeing the green scene---
However, it is worth noting that there is an iron law in the market that "things are scarce and expensive", and it is common sense that the price of materials will fluctuate in the face of major disasters.
But in this flood, the people show us a kind of human love: when food and clothing became the most urgent problem in the disaster area, the price of food in supermarkets took the lead in reducing prices; when people were homeless due to floods, some hotels opened the doors of their rooms; some enterprises even gave some daily necessities to people in need for free---
Since the flood in Zhengzhou, enterprises and non-governmental organizations in various places have delivered materials to the disaster areas to support the disaster areas, including many instant noodles. As a convenience food that can be enjoyed only by soaking in hot water, it is indeed the best choice in emergencies.

But it also raises an interesting topic: even in the face of some unexpected situations, consumers still have opinions about different flavors of instant noodles---
In recent years, the rise of the takeaway industry has continuously impacted the instant noodle market, in order to save the market, many instant noodle merchants have also racked their brains in order to increase sales, either to increase the amount without increasing the price, or to launch a variety of niche flavors.
Take Master Kong as an example, some netizens have counted that there are as many as 200 flavors of Master Kong instant noodles on the market, and every once in a while, Master Kong will develop different flavors of instant noodles according to the local specialties of different regions, so there is a taste that may be popular in some areas, but it may be abandoned in other areas---
Among them, braised beef noodles, shrimp and fish plate noodles, Lao Tan sauerkraut beef noodles, and shiitake mushroom stewed chicken noodles are the most classic four flavors.
Yes, yes, although countless people are complaining that the taste of the dried goji berries and shiitake mushrooms is very unpalatable, the mushroom stewed chicken noodles still squeeze into the ranks of the "Four Heavenly Kings" with the vitality that does not know where it comes from.
It can only be said that it can stand in the market for a long time without falling, indicating that it still has a certain demand---
However, although instant noodles are a food that takes "fast foodism" to the extreme, there are actually great restrictions on taste.
Although a piece of bread and a few packets of seasonings can be a full meal, no matter how long you soak, the taste is still that taste; adding some egg ham and a few greens can indeed improve the taste, but this is contrary to the original intention of "convenience", it is better to cook it yourself---
But one thing to note is that although many people of the older generation always put the labels of "junk food" and "digestible in a month" to instant noodles, it is not really so bad, and I am afraid that the only problem is that there is a single nutrition.
Of course, this is under the premise of production and shelf life of regular manufacturers. Since there are only a small amount of dehydrated vegetables and meat, instant noodles can only provide nutrients such as carbs, fats and a small amount of protein, and the lack of nutrition for a long time will definitely be harmful to the body---
Therefore, in most cases, instant noodles can only be of greater use in unexpected situations, such as when they are suddenly hungry in the middle of the night, when they are stranded at airport stations, and when they are suddenly in disaster. However, if there is such a situation that directly affects food and clothing, as long as the quality and safety of food can be guaranteed, the taste is actually not so important.

Back to the hot spot, three days have passed since the sudden dangerous situation in Zhengzhou, Henan, and at present, some places are still seriously affected, rescue is still in full swing, and some materials are also being continuously transported to the disaster area.
As a homestead surfing on the Internet, we may only be able to pay close attention to the news, so that we do not spread rumors, do not believe rumors, and pray for the blessings of the people in the disaster area.
If you want to donate materials or donations to the disaster area, you must also go through formal channels to prevent some bad organizations from kidnapping your love---
