Chapter 107 Happy Hot and Sour Noodles
Cao Feng: “…”
Helpless, kissed.
Why is my wife becoming more and more pretentious?
Should I go see my wife? Is it because I miss her so much that I'm sick with longing?
Yeah. It must be.
Otherwise, how could she be so perverted as to let him kiss her feet.
…
In the next few days, Xue Qi's Chinese cuisine window was crowded with people.
From the live broadcast, we can see that every morning around five o'clock, before the window opens, Feis takes his friends to line up outside the window.
Not only that, even the aunt at the Indonesian window next door joined the queue.
Every morning Xue Qi cooks different dishes for everyone.
The next morning, noodles were replaced with hot and sour rice noodles, while braised pork buns and fried pancakes were replaced with fried eggplant boxes, leek boxes and steamed dumplings.
In order to apologize to Xue Qi, Fei Si would come to i every morning to get food.
Start live streaming on s.
He ordered a bowl of hot and sour noodles, a leek box and a fried eggplant box.
Faith placed her phone in front of her bowl of noodles and before she started eating, she said to her fans, "Hi everyone, I'm Faith. I apologize for my previous ignorance. I didn't realize Chinese cuisine is this delicious. I remember when I was a kid, I had a bowl of hot and sour noodles that was so spicy it nearly knocked me out."
Because of this, I've developed a negative impression of hot and sour noodles and a prejudice against Chinese cuisine. Today, Xue 77 made hot and sour noodles, and I'm planning to try it again. But before I do, I want to enjoy other delicious food first to avoid a post-eating shock.
Feis first took out the fried eggplant box and started eating. The skin was crispy. After biting through the crispy skin, the fragrance of eggplant filled his mouth. One was not enough, so he finished five in one breath.
He described the eggplant box as follows: "It was the first time I had such delicious fried vegetables. The fragrance of the eggplant was wrapped in this crispy skin. When my teeth broke through the crispy skin, the wonderful taste was intoxicating. It was so delicious!"
Then he started eating the chive dumplings. He finished them quickly without even having the time to explain their taste!
After finishing the meal, he burped, his mouth full of the taste of leeks. However, this did not affect his fondness for the leek box. He said with a look of enjoyment, "It's so delicious. It's filled with leeks and eggs, and it tastes amazing. The outer skin is crispy and chewy. Compared to fried eggplant boxes, it's another kind of deliciousness!"
Watching his live broadcast and listening to his description, I am so hungry:
"Is it really that delicious? God, I want to have a bite too. I'm going to buy a plane ticket now. Will SP Ski Resort let me in?"
"Sorry, SP Ski Resort is for non-athletes. But, looking at Feisi eating, she really smells delicious. I love it!"
"Is it too late for me to go to Huaguo to eat fried eggplant and chive boxes?"
"Ahhhh, it looks so delicious, Faith, give me a bite!"
"I just followed Xue 77. Watching her cooking live on her livestream is such a joy. Chinese cuisine isn't just a delicacy, it's also a top-tier art form, right? She cooks so fast! It's like she's cooking at double speed. It's incredible!"
"God, I doubt she's human. How can a normal person have such speed? She must be a fairy!"
"I want to see Feisi eat hot and sour noodles! Is there any staff next to Feisi? If someone gets sick from the spiciness, make sure to send him to the hospital immediately!"
"Are you worried about me, Faith? Otherwise, why don't you just not eat it? Don't force it. Maybe this hot and sour noodle isn't to our taste as foreigners. Just eat something else!"
…
Amidst the controversial comments, Feis took a deep breath and started eating the hot and sour noodles.
When he put the noodles in his mouth, his mouth was filled with fresh, fragrant and spicy taste, without any of the spicy feeling he had imagined. Although it was spicy, it was within his tolerable range.
Xue Qi used aged vinegar sent from China to make this hot and sour noodle. Unlike the vinegar on the market, it has a slightly sweet taste.
The vermicelli in this bowl of hot and sour noodles is chewy and strong, with a rich aroma that makes you unable to stop.
The fans quickly finished their noodles, but what surprised them was that he actually started to hold up the soup bowl and drink the red oil-filled soup in the bowl in big gulps!
fan:
"What the hell! Faith, what are you doing? Stop torturing yourself!"
"I know you like Xue 77's cooking, but there's no need to drink this soup just to apologize to Xue 77. It looks horrible!"
"I was scared by Faith! Baby Faith, please don't go to the hospital later!"
"Is Faith torturing herself?"
…
Feis drank all the soup in the bowl. His whole body was burning. He sniffed and said, "It's delicious! This is really the best hot and sour noodles I've ever had in my life. I didn't expect real Chinese hot and sour noodles to be so delicious. The sour and spicy taste of this soup is burning my taste buds. It's not the raw spicy that I've had before, spicy for the sake of spicy, but spicy and fragrant! After finishing this bowl, I feel like I will be satisfied all day! I'm so happy!"
Fan comments:
"So delicious? Observe it for a while, don't go into shock right away."
"I suddenly wanted to try Chinese hot and sour noodles! I heard Xue 77 hot and sour noodles will soon be available on China's largest e-commerce platform, so I decided to buy some online to give it a try."
"I'll ask someone to buy Huaguo Xue 77 Hot and Sour Noodles right away! I want to try it and see how delicious it is!"
"I envy the fans. I suddenly feel that being an athlete is really great. qzq"
"Fez, leave me a bite! I want to eat it too!"
…
Because of Feis's live broadcast, many people on the Internet mocked and ridiculed him, most of them saying that Feis was bribed by China, so that Chinese cuisine could use this method to make its presence felt in Western countries.
Some people also said that Feis had no bottom line at all. Just for a bite of food, he actually hit himself in the face so hard!
Of course, no matter what these keyboard warriors say, Feis has a strong fan base, and his fan base is very sticky, which has successfully brought traffic to Xue Qi.
After a week of live-streaming her cooking in the SP cafeteria, Xue Qi gained over 20 million followers and became quite popular on foreign websites.
Xue Qi is now quite popular in the country and has been directly labeled as a "patriot".
Xue Qi has been on the hot searches on domestic Weibo, and netizens feel proud to see Xue Qi becoming an internet celebrity.
At this time, Cheng Kai asked the company's e-commerce department to release the link to "Xue 77" food, and even supported international delivery.
As soon as the official flagship store of "Xue 77" was launched, netizens were more excited than Xue Qi himself.
The customer service of the flagship store was shocked by the enthusiasm of netizens, and the official immediately posted on Weibo, calling on everyone to consume rationally and not to make impulsive purchases.
When the online store is out of stock, the product link automatically becomes a pre-sale product.
In order to reduce losses, the official has specifically stated that returns are not accepted after ordering, and only returns and exchanges due to quality issues after receiving the goods are accepted.
This regulation is mainly due to the fear that competitors will cause trouble and deliberately hire water armies to increase sales, and then return a large number of products, causing serious losses to the online store.
Netizens immediately posted:
"I've been bullied by those idiots from abroad for ages, and 77 finally helped us get back on track! Enough talk, a box of hot and sour noodles, please!"
"Ahhh Xue 77 hot and sour noodles, here I come!"
"What? Trash Xue 77 is actually asking us to consume rationally? Screw your rationality, I'm going to consume wildly! Buy! I just ordered a hundred boxes of hot and sour noodles to give to the sanitation workers to improve their lives. I also bought fifty boxes of vacuum-packed braised pig's trotters!"
"After seeing the speech above, I raised my 89-meter-long machete... and gently tapped him on the head. Everyone here, please be a little more bold. Rational consumption? There's no such thing. Let's go wild!"
"Xue 77 is out there fighting for the country, and all I can do is eat a bowl of hot and sour noodles! Go figure!"
"Damn it! The pre-sale of hot and sour noodles has also been sold out! You bunch of beasts, I only managed to grab two bags of Xue 77 chili powder! Damn it!"
…
Thanks to the hype from netizens, even the pre-sales of "Xue 77 Hot and Sour Noodles", "Xue 77 Noodle Seasoning Packet" and "Xue 77 Chili Noodles" were sold out.
The combined sales volume of the top ten commodities, both in stock and pre-sale, exceeds seven figures.
A small food factory simply couldn't process millions of items in such a short time. At the same time, they also had to ensure quality, which put Cheng Kai in a difficult position.
However, at this time, Cao Feng used the food factory invested by Xue Qi to find Cheng Kai for cooperation, saying that he could help them deliver the goods with guaranteed quality and quantity within one month.
After Cheng Kai consulted Xue Qi, Xue Qi had no objection at all, but had only one request: the food inspector must be a female from their small team.
In order to prevent the formula from being leaked, Xue Qi gave it to the female employees she trusted.
These female employees, led by Yu Feifei, were all saved by Xue Qi and had received her kindness. They were completely devoted to Xue Qi, gained her trust, and became increasingly loyal to her.
In order to prevent the leakage of food formulas, Yu Feifei specially developed a confidentiality management system.
On the production line, each person was responsible for a specific category, and the recipe for a single food was shared among multiple people. Yu Feifei signed strict confidentiality agreements with them. While they received high salaries, if the recipe was leaked, no matter who leaked it, they would be held responsible and face heavy compensation.
So while these people have the recipe, they don't even dare to tell it to their bedmates.
Cao Feng helped Xue Qi invest in a company that took over the production of food under the "Xue 77" brand. To ensure the quality of the goods, the company sorted the food and delivered it to various impoverished counties that relied on agricultural and sideline food production.
For example, some impoverished counties are good at producing chili powder, so the company sends people there to take charge and borrows the factories and manpower in the impoverished counties to produce food.
For example, some poor counties are good at producing hot and sour noodles, and the company can arrange it as described above.
Many impoverished counties, large and small, across the country have received orders from the Xue 77 brand. Not only do they make money, but Xue 77's products are also delivered on time.
Although it is OEM production, the company has strict control over the key links of each OEM factory, and there is no stolen secret recipe or other quality problems.
The "Xue 77" brand of food was a hot topic on the Internet, which made Qi Qin very unhappy.
She wanted to steal Xue 77's formula, but found that no matter which foundry she worked with, she couldn't find a way in. Tracing back to the past, she found that the final formula was only held by the girls Xue Qi had personally trained.
But they kept their mouths shut, and no matter how high a price Qi Qin's people offered, they could not pry them open.
Qi Qin even offered three times the salary to poach Yu Feifei, but the girl remembered Xue Qi's kindness and remained unmoved no matter how high the salary Qi Qin offered.
Xue Qi rescued her from the scumbag and gave her and her child a good life. In just a few months, she and her child had a good life. Her salary went from a base salary of 3,000 yuan at the beginning to 20,000 to 30,000 yuan per month now. This leap was something she had never dared to think about before.
The most important thing is that she now lives in the studio's villa with her children, and Grandma Liu and others.
Grandma Liu is old now and her live broadcasts are gradually reduced. Now that she has more free time, I will help her take care of the children.
Every time the scumbag ex-husband comes to the house, the colleagues living in the villa will help to drive him away, and Grandma Liu will be the first to take the lead and drive him away with a broom.
For her, this company is a warm company.
She had suffered through the darkness of society and knew how difficult it was to get this job. She also knew that compared to the long-term benefits, Qi Qin's short-term high salary had no advantages.
Qi Qin encountered obstacles in her attempts to recruit people, but she did not seem to give up and planned to encourage Mo Jiashan to deal with Cao Feng.
Mo Jiashan was Cao Feng's initial partner. If there was one person in this world who could deal with Cao Feng, it would definitely be Mo Jiashan.
After the rash incident, Qi Qin's heart turned completely cold towards Mo Jiashan. The love she had for him in her previous life disappeared completely and turned into hatred.
Mo Jiashan later felt that he had overreacted and apologized to her.
Qi Qin, in her role as a skilled actor, not only gave him a taste of sweetness, but also made an appropriate request: "I can forgive you, but you have to agree to one condition of mine."
Mo Jiashan asked back, "What?"
Qi Qin: "I want to work in your company, is that okay?"
Mo Jiashan hesitated.
Qi Qin asked back: "Why, with my ability, I can't go to your company?"
Mo Jiashan: "Of course, the company is eager to recruit talented people. Which department do you want to join?"
Qi Qin: "Core R&D department."
Mo Jiashan was silent again.
Qi Qin: "Why do you look like that? Am I unworthy?"
Mo Jiashan shook his head. "I just can't understand why you've always rejected company offers and insisted on starting your own business. Now, you want to join a company."
Qi Qin: "Of course not for you, I want to challenge more impossible things."
Mo Jiashan smiled and said, "I don't think someone as ambitious as you would do this for me. My dear, when will you have some snacks? Can't you see that I really love you?"
Of course Qi Qin didn't believe his lies. Men's "love" is the cheapest.
Their "love" is extremely rational, and they fall in love with one woman after another. Now they can say they love her very much, but if she is gone tomorrow, they can go and love another woman very much.
Mo Jiashan arranged her to the company's core R&D department, which was also the department Cao Feng often visited.
Qi Qin's wishful thinking was well-planned. She believed that even though Cao Feng had the aura of the male protagonist, he was ultimately just a tool in this world, a tool for the female protagonist Xue Qi.
If she can't touch Xue Qi, how can she deal with Cao Feng?
She is a reborn female supporting character who is loved by everyone. According to the law of this character, even the male protagonist may fall in love with her.
If she could win over Cao Feng emotionally, then Xue Qi's position as the heroine would naturally be in jeopardy.
Of course, if Mo Jiashan could do something to help Cao Feng reach another career low, she would be happy to see it happen.

On the night Xue Qi returned home, Yu Feifei came to her and told her about Qi Qin in person.
Yu Feifei said, "Sister Qi, I don't know what Qi Qin's tricks are. She's trying to poach our colleagues with high salaries. However, we all remember your kindness and turned her down. Of course, we also know that if we lose this job, it will be difficult to find another one with such warmth, so we all cherish it very much."
"Qi Qin?"
Yu Feifei compiled all the call records and text messages Qi Qin had sent them and sent them to Xue Qi: "Look at these. Should we expose her online?"
Xue Qi took a look and shook her head, saying, "That's unnecessary. She's a dead pig that's not afraid of boiling water. Exposing her now will only help her increase her traffic and won't have any deterrent effect."
Qi Qin is a Shenlong system, and playing cyberbullying with her is not going to work. After all, she relies on her popular and lovable persona. She doesn't need the support of netizens, she needs the support of men.
Xue Qi knew that she was the "anti-virus software" of this world, and the Lord God System seemed to have been helping her.
She will absorb Qi Qin's essence at specific times, and Qi Qin's loss of essence will also affect her energy.
Therefore, Xue Qi believed that as long as she absorbed all of Qi Qin's essence and exhausted her energy, she, the virus boss, would be defeated.
Shortly after Yu Feifei left, she received a message from Cao Feng saying that the man had just finished a meeting today and would be flying early tomorrow morning.
Kindergarten was about to start, but Pippi was reluctant to leave and still hadn't come back, which made Xue Qi feel a little uneasy.
Xue Qi made another video call to Pipi, but she still didn't answer. The tone of her reply to the text message was the same as usual, the same tone she had used a few days ago, without any change in emotion.
Xue Qi was busy a while ago and didn't think about it carefully, but now that she has some free time, she vaguely realized that there is something wrong.
Xue Qi first called Tang Xiong and asked him to find someone to check the situation in Zhao Zhao's hometown.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Tang Xiong sent her a few photos and replied, "Grandma Zhaozhao has been dead for more than a year. The old house collapsed in the earthquake half a year ago. Now it's overgrown with weeds and no one lives there."
Xue Qi frowned, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and called Tian Xin.
After the call was connected, Xue Qi tried to speak in a calm tone, "Zhao Zhao's mother, how is Zhao Zhao doing recently? I miss that little girl a lot. I have a day off tomorrow, can you bring the little girl out for some fresh air? I'll make something delicious for everyone."
Tian Xin said: "Zhao Zhao is not in the city recently. She is at her grandmother's hometown. I want her to know more about rural life and not stay in the city all the time. This way, she will not be too impetuous when she grows up."
Xue Qi's heart twitched, but he had to suppress his emotions and forced himself to say in a very calm tone: "Oh, so that's it."
Tian Xin's tone was even calmer than hers, and she asked, "How is Pipi doing recently?"
In order not to alert the enemy, Xue Qi continued in a calm tone, "The little girl went on a trip and was so happy that she didn't even think about me as her mother. Oh, the pain of being a mother is so hard to describe! Okay, that's it for now. I'm going to hang up now. It's time for me to video chat with my husband."
Tian Xin laughed on the phone: "Okay. I wish you a happy video call."
After hanging up the phone, Xue Qi looked around Zhao Zhao's grandmother's house again. An ominous premonition came to her mind, and a voice kept telling her:
Something happened to Pippi.
Xue Qi didn't dare to delay and immediately called Cao Feng: "Honey, Pipi...something happened."
When she said this, she was in a state of extreme collapse, her mind was blank and her palms were full of sweat.
It has been almost a month since Pippi left, and for such a long time, she didn't even notice that something had happened to Pippi.
Guilt and self-blame came flooding back.
So much time has passed. If anything could happen, it would have happened long ago and there is nothing that can be done to reverse it.
The more Xue Qi thought about it, the colder he felt.
Her head was full of buzzing sounds and she didn't know how to call Cao Feng.
When the call was connected, her voice was a little hoarse: "Husband, Pipi, something happened."
She tried to make her statement clear enough and told Cao Feng the general idea of what happened.
When Cao Feng received the call, cold sweat immediately broke out on his back, but he still forced himself to calm down.
At this time, Xue Qi was already very panicked, but he couldn't panic. He had to stay calm and rational. If even he was panicked, the matter would definitely get out of hand.
He comforted her, "Honey, don't panic. I'll arrange for someone to investigate right away. It's been so long since Pipi disappeared, and she's been telling you she was looking for Zhaozhao. Based on your feedback, this incident must be related to Zhaozhao's mother. Don't panic yet. They must have another purpose for arresting Pipi. Since it's a purpose, then until that purpose is achieved, Pipi will most likely be safe."
Xue Qi knew all of this and understood it clearly: "I let Pipi go because I trusted her ability. She was able to trap Pipi and use her tone to communicate with me, so I think she must be more than just an ordinary person."
She suspected it was Qi Qin.
But what is the relationship between Qi Qin and Tian Xin? Could it be that Tian Xin is the new virus that Qi Qin awakened?
After Cao Feng comforted Xue Qi, he hung up the phone with his hands shaking.
Tang Xiong noticed something was wrong with him and asked him, "Mr. Cao, what's wrong with you?"
Cao Feng: "Something happened to Pipi."
Tang Xiong thought of Tian Xin, whom Xue Qi asked him to investigate, and asked, "Is it related to that Tian Xin?"
Cao Feng nodded.
Tang Xiong did not comfort Cao Feng, knowing that any words of comfort would be useless at this moment. If it was his child who was lost, who knows how mad he would be.
Tang Xiong immediately changed Cao Feng's flight and arranged for the nearest private plane to take him back to Yanjing City.
When Cao Feng got home, it was already one o'clock in the morning, and Xue Qi was still looking at all of Tian Xin's information.
There is strength in numbers. In order to find Pippi as soon as possible, the three teenagers and Taotie also arrived.
In the living room, Xue Qi, three young men and Taotie sat together.
Xue Qi had calmed down at this moment. Seeing Cao Feng coming back, she couldn't suppress her inner fragility. She hugged him and then handed him the information, saying, "This is Tian Xin's information. Take a look."
Cao Feng began to flip through the book and asked her, "What problems do you see?"
Xue Qi said: "Except for her husband, there is no problem."
Sun Shaoqi held the little Taotie in his arms.
He stroked its head to soothe it, saying, "I'll tell you this. After all, I'm an insider in the wealthy world, so I hear more gossip! Tian Xin's husband was once my father's partner. He had a big business, not much behind my father's. But starting about two years ago, this man hasn't been seen that often, or even at all. But his business, though, is still going strong."
Cao Feng grasped the key point: "Did he basically not show up, or did he never show up again?"
Sun Shaoqi: "I just called my dad, and he said he hasn't seen him since. But we still have business contact, but it's only handled through messages and agents."
Cao Feng flipped through the information and found out that no one had seen Tian Xin's husband for two years.
Tian Xin’s husband’s family are all abroad, and because of the impact of the epidemic abroad, they have not met him.
Hearing this, Chu Xing was already very certain and said, "There must be something wrong with this woman. She must have taken Pipi away!"
Cao Yue frowned and said, "I don't think this matter is that simple. No matter what, we must rescue Sister Pipi."
Whenever he thought of Pippi suffering somewhere and crying like a little tearful child, he felt heartbroken.
But he believed that Pippi was still alive and his life should be safe.
Cao Feng asked the Taotie in Sun Shaoqi's arms: "Didn't you feel her breath?"
Taotie shook his head. "I can't feel it. Logically, the nine sons of a dragon should be able to sense each other's aura. However, I've never been able to sense Pipi's aura. But I have a feeling it's still alive."
Cao Feng looked at Xue Qi: "We live in the same residential complex as Ms. Tian's family?"
Xue Qi nodded. "Yes. They live in the same complex. They live in Building 6, the one behind the rockery. It's a bit out of the way."
Cao Feng: "Go and take a look."
The man turned to look at the three teenagers and said, "Taotie comes with us, the three of you stay here."
No one dared to disobey Cao Feng's words, and everyone did as he said.
Xue Qi, Cao Feng and Taotie, two men and one beast, climbed over the wall of Tian Xin's house and were about to walk out of the back garden when a woman came out from nowhere.
They immediately squatted down and hid in the bushes, and Taotie used his remaining spiritual power to build a barrier.
A woman in red holding an oil-paper umbrella walked into the inky night, holding a scroll, and walked slowly inside, the bells on her ankles jingling.
The woman walked lightly, twisting her graceful waist gently, and entered the villa very gracefully.
Taotie recognized the woman and immediately said, "Cloud Swallowing Beast!"
Xue Qi and Cao Feng looked at her at the same time.
"What?"
Taotie explained, "That's the Swallowing Cloud Beast, not a divine beast from this world. Legend has it that she's the messenger of the Black Dragon. The Black Dragon was killed by three supreme beings from the Xuanmen realm, and the Swallowing Cloud Beast disappeared. Unexpectedly, she's here too!"
