Besides the flavorful toppings, the quality of the rice noodles used and the cooking time are also crucial to the final taste of Luosifen (river snail rice noodles).

First, you should choose noodles that don't easily become soggy, but also not too hard.

The heat should not be too high; the rice noodles need to maintain a certain elasticity, which requires rinsing them in cold water after cooking.

Lu Wu knew these processes by heart.

Blanch the vegetables as well, and put them in a bowl along with the rice noodles.

Here comes the important part.

Lu Wu lifted the lid of a bucket on the stall, and as soon as a small gap was revealed, a strong odor wafted out, hitting the top of his head.

It smells like pickled bamboo shoots.

The smell of pickled bamboo shoots, which are fermented using a special process, is unacceptable to many people.

Even Lu Wu felt it was addictive.

After ladling a few spoonfuls of broth, Lu Wu placed the pickled bamboo shoots on top of the rice noodles, and then added a large spoonful of snail meat.

Deep-fried peanuts and dried bean curd are essential ingredients in snail rice noodles.

The price was too high, and Lu Wu felt a pang of conscience, so she also prepared a lot of fried eggs as a topping and gave them away for free.

Finally, add a large spoonful of chili peppers, chopped green onions, and cilantro.

Why eat snail rice noodles without adding spice? You have to add spice, lots of spice, until your mouth hurts and your head hurts.

And just like that, a bowl of fragrant and pungent snail rice noodles is ready.

Lu Wu had eaten it before, so she didn't find the smell repulsive; on the contrary, she found it fragrant.

But the beings of the Azure Realm have never experienced this.

Rhubarb was the first to be poisoned by its odor.

Dogs have such a keen sense of smell.

Upon being attacked, Da Huang covered its nose with its two paws and looked at Lu Wu with a look of condemnation and shock.

"Woof woof!"

Master, what kind of food are you eating that even dogs wouldn't eat?

Dahuang is a mythical beast that gained intelligence early on.

What does "a leopard can't change its spots" have to do with his future status as a dog emperor?

As a result, the things that he had previously rejected were taken out by their owner, who seemed to be preparing to eat them. Big Yellow's pupils dilated in shock.

Master, why did you have such a bad idea?

"What nonsense are you talking about? This is called snail rice noodles. Although it smells bad, it tastes delicious. Do you want some?"

Lu Wu tried her best to recommend it, but Da Huang suddenly jumped up and backed away.

They viewed it as a monstrous flood or a ferocious beast.

Lu Wu snorted and ignored the tasteless yellow dog.

Since there were no guests, Lu Wu decided to treat herself to a good meal first.

She picked up her chopsticks, grabbed a mouthful of rice noodles, and ate it first—no, she slurped it up.

With a slurp, the flavorful rice noodles, along with the tangy and spicy taste, instantly tantalized her taste buds, making it both spicy and addictive, and also very appetizing.

Rice noodles themselves don't have much flavor, but after being soaked in the broth, their texture and taste are enhanced.

It's very bouncy, but not stiff.

It's so slippery that you can bite it off with just a little force, and you can't stop sucking on it.

The sourness of the pickled bamboo shoots is very prominent and cannot be ignored by anyone.

After being infused with the spiciness of chili peppers, the combined sour and spicy flavors of the snail rice noodles make the taste even richer.

Spicy but not dry.

The peanuts are crunchy, the dried bean curd sticks are chewy after being soaked, and the fried eggs are soaked in broth, bursting with juice when you bite into them, with a rich flavor.

If you find it too rich, have some refreshing green vegetables to cleanse your palate.

The various flavors stimulate the mouth, making people's appetites soar, while the faint odor in the breath is not so unpleasant.

Luosifen (river snail rice noodles) has a wonderfully pungent aroma.

Lu Wu, who hadn't had this dish in a long time, buried herself in slurping rice noodles, eating the ingredients little by little along with the noodles, without showing any sign of strain.

During this process, the strong smell was carried by the wind to the people on the cliff.

The stench of snail rice noodles can be smelled for miles around, and that's no joke.

"What is Mr. Lu eating? It smells..."

One of the subordinates wanted to say something, but then shut up.

He acknowledged Boss Lu's culinary skills, but the smell was too strong, making him wonder if Lu Wu was creating some kind of bizarre dish.

But judging from Boss Lu's eating habits, it doesn't seem like it.

The unique smell of snail rice noodles makes one wonder if it's even edible, but Lu Wu's absorbed eating style instantly makes one hungry.

Two completely different reactions were clashing in their minds.

"When has Boss Lu's cooking ever disappointed? There must be something special about this snail rice noodle."

It was Qin Zhan who spoke, and his words were firm and resounding.

Trust in Lu Wu triumphed over suspicion.

He accompanied Boss Lu to buy those ingredients, and Boss Lu looked visibly confident at the time.

"I also believe in Boss Lu."

Zhang Yue nodded, secretly swallowing her saliva.

In fact, her reaction was completely different from the others.

She plays with ghosts, and people only become ghosts after they die.

So she often deals with places like cemeteries and mass graves, where the smell of the dead is much worse than this, and she's long been used to it.

At this moment, she actually really wanted to try the snail rice noodles.

I'm hungry.

It might be a pleasant surprise.

"They're here."

Dan Ji did not stop her subordinates from discussing, because she was also curious, but at a certain moment, she raised her hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

Looking out, the vast ocean is constantly surging.

On the azure sea, a huge whirlpool formed, and sea creatures emerged from within it.

"It's dry outside."

Some sea creatures complained.

Accustomed to living in the ocean, they felt a bit dehydrated as soon as they came into contact with the outside air.

"It stinks! What is that smell?"

A sea creature fanned its nose and exclaimed in surprise.

Only then did the sea creatures notice a strange smell permeating the air.

It was very heavy, causing the sensitive sea creatures to sneeze constantly.

"It drifted in from over there."

Some sea creatures found the source, pointing to Lu Wu's stall.

"I knew these humans had no good intentions; they were deliberately trying to humiliate us this way."

"No, I'm going to kill her."

The warmongers kept bringing up the issue of violence.

It was Prime Minister Turtle who stopped them.

He also believed there was a conspiracy involved.

"I think they don't want to start a big fight with us, and they want to use this method to make us back down."

Prime Minister Turtle made a reasonable deduction.

The strength of the sea race should not be underestimated. Yuanhai City is located near the sea, which means that humans will not have much of an advantage in a battle between the two sides.

This approach is more moderate, and they can't really criticize it.

"That's why we have to rise to the challenge."

The Turtle Prime Minister turned his head and gave his opinion.

"Your Highness, what do you think?"

"Do as you say."

His Highness was also looking towards the stalls, and then agreed with the Ghost Prime Minister's analysis.

Despite appearing to have everything under control, this prince was actually thinking about something else entirely.

Was that human eating smelly food on purpose to scare them?

No, Long Zhang has never been inferior to anyone in his life, how could he be intimidated by such petty tricks?

He has to scare them back.

"Let's go and have a look at him."

With His Highness taking the lead, the other sea creatures boldly followed suit.
