Chapter 023 Chapter 23 Snail Noodles

"Those four vehicles first went to the research institute, then to the restaurant, and finally moved to the other four stores." Liu Sisi frowned and said, "The vehicles were heavily guarded, so our people couldn't get too close. But we've heard from the research institute that the vehicles were empty when they left."

Chengyue didn't say anything, just sat there quietly thinking.

After a while, he asked, "How's the process of getting someone to contact Team 188 going?"

Liu Sisi: "Team 188 now has only five members left, so the training camp has arranged five new recruits to lead them, and two of our people have sneaked in."

Chengyue nodded, but did not let Liu Sisi leave.

He always felt that the sudden appearance of instant noodles was related to An Yiqing.

But the old guy arranged for the Fire Brigade to protect him, so he couldn't do anything.

To be honest, it's a good thing that there is food in the base, but it would be bad if these things cannot be controlled in one's own hands.

The emergence of instant noodles has had a huge impact on the entire base. Now the old man’s people have opened another store in the four directions of the base, which will undoubtedly further expand the influence of instant noodles.

Chengyue didn't know how instant noodles appeared, but he felt that if he continued like this, it would be even more difficult for him to get his hands on this thing.

No matter how good something is, if you can't fully control it in your hands, it's better to destroy it.

Chengyue narrowed his eyes with a gloomy expression.

Of course, if possible, he wouldn't want to destroy it, after all, he also likes food.

"Give them two days to get information from Team 188," Cheng Yue said.

Liu Sisi was stunned for a moment, then said hesitantly, "Isn't two days too rushed, boss?"

Chengyue waved his hand and said, "I don't have that much time to waste."

Liu Sisi suddenly stopped talking and could only convey the meaning of presenting it for review.

Although An Qing had some guesses about these secret movements, she had no way of knowing the details.

So after returning to her room, she thought nothing and did nothing. She washed up and went to bed early.

The next morning, she received news from Wei Xunyi.

The research institute modified her facial recognition system overnight.

When An Qing arrived at the restaurant, it was still dark, but people had already started queuing up, and the number of people was visibly increasing.

She ignored the people in line, as there were people from the Fire Team maintaining order.

At this moment, staff are installing a large machine at the entrance of the hotel. It is about 1.78 meters long and is placed at the entrance.

The display screen of the large machine is very large, about 20 inches, and the screen is very clear.

"How do I use this?" An Qing asked after seeing that the staff had already installed it.

Staff: "You need to choose who to blacklist online. Those who are blacklisted will be identified in front of the machine and will not be able to place orders."

"The menu also needs to be operated online inside. After uploading, customers can place orders from the machine here, and point coins can also be used to pay directly by swiping cards at the machine here."

An Qing was extremely surprised when she heard this. She had only thought about placing an order before, but she didn't expect that she could pay by credit card directly.

As a result, the research institute fixed it for her directly.

Under the guidance of the staff, An Qing operated the online device installed in the kitchen and uploaded instant noodles of various flavors, hot and sour noodles, self-heating hot pot and rice.

After hesitating for a while, An Qing finally uploaded the snail noodles.

Although snail noodles smell a bit bad, as a delicacy that is popular all over the world, it still has its shining points. Maybe people in this world can accept it?

And to be honest, An Qing thinks snail noodles taste quite nice and not that smelly.

With the food ordering machine, Ye Yu no longer had to take orders for the guests. She, Jiang Shui and Bai Wei all stayed in the kitchen to help her.

An Qing no longer planned to make instant noodles herself, so she asked the three of them to help her.

Lin Zhiqi and his team were still in charge of the door. He had just learned how to use the all-in-one machine for facial recognition and ordering, and was now helping the people queuing up at the door to order food one by one.

After the customer paid, the ordering machine spit out a numbered list. Lin Zhiqi handed the numbered list to the customer and asked the customer to sit inside and wait.

After the person outside places an order and pays, the person online receives an order notification.

Now An Qing only has 1118 points left, so An Qing does not plan to buy things in advance, but buys them one by one according to the order.

The first order surprised An Qing a little.

It’s actually coriander instant noodles!

It’s not that coriander instant noodles are not delicious. She herself likes to eat coriander, but she also knows that it has mixed reviews. Those who like it like it very much, and those who don’t like it hate it very much.

But, there shouldn't be anyone in this world who hates cilantro, right? After all, there's nothing to eat, so having something to eat is good enough. How can I be so picky?

An Qing subtly bought the coriander instant noodles and immediately looked at the first customer who walked in. She planned to wait and see how this person would react after eating the coriander instant noodles. Would he like it or hate it?

Ye Yu and the other two quickly made the instant noodles, and then the next order came in.

An Yiqing: "..."

The corners of her mouth twitched, mainly because the order was for snail noodles.

An Qing bought a bag of snail noodles in a very subtle mood. The first one today was coriander, and the second one was snail noodles. These were delicacies that many people in her previous life could not accept, but today they were all crowded in restaurants.

"Boss, how do I make this?" It was the first time that Ye Yu saw snail noodles. Seeing that they were completely different from instant noodles, he was a little hesitant to try them.

An Qing, "It's okay, I'll cook this. You guys keep an eye on the order and tell me what it is."

Ye Yu nodded: "Okay."

An Qing took out a small pot to collect water, then opened the package of snail noodles. Before she opened the seasoning packet, the unique stench of snail noodles wafted out.

Ye Yu and the other two sniffed and turned to look at An Qing.

An Qing glanced at them and said with a smile, "The smellier the snail noodles are, the better they taste. You can try them later."

There was no expression on the faces of the three people, but she could clearly sense a subtle hint of speechlessness.

While they were making instant noodles for the people outside, they looked at An Qing intentionally or unintentionally.

An Qing pretended not to notice their strange yet slightly curious looks. The snail noodles had to be put into the pot with cold water, so she put the noodles in first before turning on the fire.

The seasoning packet needs to be added after changing the water, so there is no rush to open it now.

During this period, An Qing kept buying instant noodles and self-heating rice from the supermarket.

The majority of people buy instant noodles, while fewer people buy self-heating rice.

When An Qing saw that the coriander instant noodles for customer No. 1 had just been served, her eyes involuntarily followed the noodles to customer No. 1.

Guest No. 1 is named Chen Dong, also a member of the outbound team. He was injured in the last mission and stayed in the hospital for ten days. He was only allowed to be discharged yesterday.

When he was discharged from the hospital and returning home, he bumped into his neighbor and smelled a strong fragrance on the other person.

I can’t describe what the smell is, but it’s very fragrant, a scent that makes people salivate like crazy.

To be honest, Chen Dong has always been a man of few words. Even in the team, he is the one who speaks the least, not to mention talking to others.

But the fragrance was so tempting that he couldn't resist it, so he reached out and grabbed his neighbor to ask.

The neighbor was obviously in a good mood. He didn't get angry when he was suddenly stopped. Instead, he told him in a friendly manner that a restaurant had opened in the base.

At that time, Chen Dong was skeptical and ran to the hotel to take a look, but it was too late and the hotel door was closed.

So he could only go back in despair, but he didn't sleep well the whole night before, thinking about the smell all the time.

This morning, he woke up two hours earlier than usual and couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard he tried, so he simply ran to the hotel.

Fortunately he came, because not long after, more people came one after another. When they saw him at the door of the hotel, they followed him and lined up behind him. Soon, there was a very long line.

Chen Dong chose coriander instant noodles because he was dazzled by the huge pile of instant noodles and just picked one at random.

Soon, his noodles were served, and a fragrance that was somewhat similar to but also somewhat different from the one he smelled yesterday lingered in his nose.

He looked at the bowl of noodles in front of him. There were green noodles in the red soup.

These noodles looked the same as the instant noodles he had seen in the library album, but the noodles in the album were golden, while the one in front of him was green.

Chen Dong was a little curious and looked at the other people who had already taken their seats.

Some of the people behind him were still waiting, while others had already picked up the noodles and were eating them with forks, making slurping sounds of enjoyment. It sounded like they were eating very contentedly.

Chengdong also saw these people smiling happily with every bite they took.

That smile, is it happy and joyful?

Chen Dong was a little unsure, but he was sure that everyone was happy after eating it.

He also imitated the people around him and picked up the noodles with a fork and put them into his mouth.

The strange aroma exploded on his taste buds, and he subconsciously sucked the noodles in the bowl into his mouth in one breath, then chewed them in big mouthfuls.

With just one bite, Chen Dong fell in love with the taste, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

Unlike the people around him who wolfed down their food, he enjoyed his food very much and ate it with great care. He even ate slower and slower, unwilling to finish the bowl of noodles too quickly.

So Chen Dong took a mouthful of noodles, chewed it carefully, and then drank a mouthful of soup.

Just as I was enjoying my meal, a foul smell suddenly wafted over and lingered at my nose.

How should I describe this stench? It's very similar to the smell of mutant beast scales.

The scaly beast is a mutant beast covered with shells. It is larger than ordinary mutant beasts, but moves slowly. It is a rare herbivorous animal. It is not aggressive, but timid and easily frightened. Once frightened, it will spray out this unpleasant gas.

Chen Dong had been smelled by the stench of scales before. This stench can easily stick to people. Once contaminated, it will take at least ten days or half a month to get rid of it.

And now, the restaurant is filled with this smell.

Chen Dong felt a little dizzy from the stench and felt that the bowl of fragrant noodles in front of him was no longer fragrant.
