Chapter 150 Is there anything this delicious to eat?!
"Slurp... My goodness, what... what is this smell?!"
Lin Xiaoyu, sitting on the stone bench at the entrance of "Human Fireworks" with a huff, sniffed the air twice with her little nose, and her round eyes widened instantly.
The pungent aroma of meat was so overpowering that it burned her way down her nose and into her empty stomach, causing her mouth to water uncontrollably.
Beside her and Yuanyuan were about a dozen die-hard fans of the "Little Rabbit Bun Ironclad Guardian Group".
Although the young college students and old neighbors had just seen the crowds crowding into Su Ang's thirteen shops, they still believed in Chen Feng's skills.
"Little Fish!! Brother Chen's shop is open!!"
As soon as Yuanyuan saw the somewhat dark wooden door open with a "bang," she didn't even bother to rub her aching thighs and let out a loud exclamation.
"Brothers and sisters!! Go!! Let's get to the cashier and find my little cutie to pay!!"
Lin Xiaoyu hugged her commuter bag tightly to her chest with both small hands, took two light steps, and led the dozen or so die-hard fans behind her, like a gust of wind, across the wooden threshold of "Human Fireworks" in a flash.
Behind the cashier, Mengmeng sat properly on a tall wooden stool.
The little girl had her fluffy soft hair tied into two little buns, her big eyes sparkling, and her chubby little hands carefully stuffing a crookedly sewn little rabbit doll into her apron pocket. Her fair little face was full of serious anticipation.
"Mengmeng!! What kind of feast is Brother Chen making today? How much is it per serving? I'll scan the code now!!" Lin Xiaoyu leaned on the counter, her clear voice filled with barely suppressed enthusiasm.
When Mengmeng saw that it was her familiar Little Fish Sister, she grinned, revealing a set of pearly white baby teeth. Her chubby little finger pointed to a small wooden board hanging in the back kitchen, and she called out in her sweet, childish voice:
"Little Fish Sister, Daddy made Braised Loach with Red Peppers today!! Daddy said he'd make a local dish today, so it won't be expensive, only thirty-six yuan a serving!!"
Thirty-six yuan!!
Upon hearing the soft, cute voice, Lin Xiaoyu's almond-shaped eyes immediately lit up with joy.
She skillfully took out her phone, scanned the QR code on the counter, and made the payment with remarkable speed and efficiency.
"Alipay payment received, 36 yuan!!"
Lin Xiaoyu turned around and looked at the empty, clean shop where not a single customer was vying for a seat. Then she glanced at the "rebellious" diners outside Su Ang's shop, arguing heatedly over recruiting others to get a share of the profits. A mischievous and smug smile suddenly appeared on her pretty face.
"Haha, Yuanyuan, look at this!!"
I'm now genuinely grateful to those traitors and turncoats outside!
"If it weren't for those cheap hot pot restaurants next door that cost only 9.9 yuan, we wouldn't have been able to skip the long lines and snag such a great, prime window seat in no time this morning!!"
"That's exactly what I mean! Let them eat their high-tech stuff, this whole pot of delicious food is for our die-hard fans!!"
A dozen or so young people laughed and joked without any regard for their image, pulled out benches, and happily sat in a circle around the square table.
Inside the kitchen, the stove was burning brightly.
Chen Feng and Xing Ruo worked together seamlessly, their movements as swift as the wind.
With a large iron ladle, more than a dozen servings of "Changjie Red Pepper Braised Loach" were ready.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, everyone. Please enjoy your meal!"
Xingruo and Su Chen carried trays and jogged back and forth in the store, their movements extremely nimble.
Within minutes, a dozen large blue-and-white porcelain plates were placed steadily and gracefully in front of each person.
Lin Xiaoyu suppressed her craving and stared at the dish in front of her.
The loaches on the plate were all soft and tender, their dark skins peeling open to reveal the firm, white flesh inside.
The purple-skinned garlic, melted into a paste, mixed with chopped red chili peppers, gave the whole dish a glossy, overpowering appearance.
Steaming hot white rice sat on the counter behind the bench, but none of the dozen or so people at the table were in a hurry to pick up their chopsticks.
At the same time, more than ten pairs of chopsticks were swung up in a "whoosh".
Lin Xiaoyu raised her bamboo chopsticks, picked up a braised loach covered in red oil, and skillfully sucked it into her mouth.
In that instant, Lin Xiaoyu's big, round eyes stared wide-eyed, her eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets in shock.
Soft, tender, fresh, and spicy!!
The loach bones had long been simmered until tender by Chen Feng using a "simmering over a low flame" method. With a gentle touch of the tongue, the most exquisite and firm river meat melted in the mouth like tofu.
What followed was the pure spiciness of the bird's eye chili, mixed with the extremely rich and succulent aftertaste of the purple garlic, which went down her throat.
"Oh my god...this is so delicious!!"
Lin Xiaoyu was sweating profusely from the spiciness, her pretty face flushed, and she was panting heavily as she picked up the large bowl and rudely scooped up a mouthful of white rice and swallowed it.
The intense spiciness combined with the sweet aroma of rice was so delicious that she almost cried.
For a moment, the entire "Human Fireworks" restaurant was filled with the sounds of a dozen die-hard fans frantically shoveling rice into their mouths and chewing on the garlic loach with lingering relish, accompanied by cheers that rose and fell.
After eating half a bowl of rice, Lin Xiaoyu wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve. She glanced out the window and saw the traitorous diner across the street eating nine pieces of chicken from a dead chicken with a smug look on his face. The wicked smile in her eyes could no longer be hidden.
"Hmph, these damned traitors, they'll get what's coming to them today!!"
Lin Xiaoyu took out her phone from her commuter bag, pulled over Yuanyuan who was eating with her mouth full of oil and had no manners, and deftly opened the WeChat video recording function.
"Look here!! Yuanyuan, hold your bowl high!"
Lin Xiaoyu made an exaggerated, satisfied face in front of the camera, her eyes curving into little crescents.
She pointed the camera at the plate of braised loach with red peppers on the table, which was bubbling with amber-colored red oil and looked so delicious that it made your mouth water at first glance. Then, with a flick of her spoon, she vividly presented a large piece of loach meat, which was covered with rich broth and was so tender that it was almost too fresh, to the front of the camera.
"Everyone, look at what heavenly delicious food I had this morning!!"
As Lin Xiaoyu shoved loach meat into her mouth with obvious enjoyment for the camera, her muffled yet clear voice was filled with a smug sense of "revenge," as she yelled into the phone at the top of her lungs:
"Brother Chen has launched a new dish today!!"
For 36 yuan a serving of [Changjie Red Pepper Braised Loach], do you understand the joy of enjoying it all by yourself?
The bones were completely tender, and the flavor was so delicious it made my scalp tingle. Even a god wouldn't be able to tear himself away from it!
And unlike usual, there's no need to queue now; you can get your food in a second!
I just want to ask all you traitors here, while you're eating that 9.9 yuan frozen chicken from the factory next door and wasting 1,000 yuan, do you... do you have anything this delicious to eat?!
Hahaha, I'm so jealous of you guys!!
"Ding-dong—!!"
Without any hesitation, Lin Xiaoyu slammed her little finger into the send button. This tempting and provocative short video exploded in the "Protect the Best Little Bunny" group.
