Chapter 024 Chapter 24 Smells bad but tastes good
Obviously, Chen Dong is not the only one who thinks so.
“It stinks!”
"What's that smell?"
"This, this is the stench of scales, right? Who is so irritated by scales that he would come out and cause trouble? Go back and hide!"
The guests in the restaurant were a little irritated by the smell and were looking around, trying to find out who was carrying the stench of scales.
We were warned just yesterday that people who fight or cause trouble in the store will be refused service, and today a facial recognition device appeared at the entrance of the restaurant. We are not fools, and we know what this machine is used for with just a little thought.
Therefore, although everyone was infuriated by the stench, they struggled to suppress the urge to take action.
Perhaps it was because they had eaten delicious food in the restaurant over the past two days, which improved their sense of happiness and relieved their nerves that were on the verge of collapse.
In the kitchen, the snail noodles were already cooked. An Qing had just put them out and put them in a bowl when she heard a commotion outside. She looked at Ye Yu beside her with some confusion: "What's going on outside? What scale armor?"
Ye Yu took the snail noodles from An Qing's hand with a complicated expression. She used to be like the other members of the Fiery Team, always expressionless, and nothing could easily shake her mood.
But since coming to the restaurant, she could feel her emotions fluctuating again and again.
She glanced at the snail noodles in her hand and reminded him, "This smell is very similar to the stench emanating from the scales of mutant beasts. I guess the customer thought someone had the stench of scales on them and came to the restaurant..."
An Qing: "..."
She blinked slowly, and it took her a while to find the memory of the scales from the original owner's memory.
It was a huge creature similar to a turtle, but its shell was covered with densely packed scales like fish scales. The scales were sharp and reflective. This mutated creature would not actively attack humans because it survived by eating mutated plants.
The original owner had never been bothered by the stench of the scales, but his teammate Shi Zhui from Team 188 had been. During that period, the entire team avoided Shi Zhui.
The main thing is that the smell is really - too stinky.
An Qing thought of the stinking smell in the original owner's memory, and then looked at the bowl of fragrant snail noodles in front of her. She was silent for a moment. Putting the two smells together, she could hardly look at the snail noodles.
In fact, although they both have a bad smell, the taste of snail noodles can’t be associated with the smell of scales, right?
Ye Yu had already handed the snail noodles to Li Changfu and asked him to deliver them to the customers.
When Li Changchu was holding the snail noodles, he was faced with the strong smell, and his face was slightly distorted. However, he quickly sorted out his expression and walked out with the snail noodles. "The snail noodles for customer number two are ready."
As he spoke, the guests in the restaurant also discovered where the smell came from, and all looked at Li Changfang.
After all, they were from the Fiery Team. Li Changchu's expression remained calm, and he didn't react at all when being stared at by so many pairs of eyes.
Seeing that no one in the restaurant stood up to claim the food, Li Changchang called out again: "Guest number two, where is guest number two? Your snail noodles are ready."
As Li Changchang shouted, the customers in the store looked around, trying to see who was number two.
Everyone was wondering in their hearts that the smell was obviously coming from Li Changchu, but this person had been in the restaurant for a long time. He had no smell on his body before, but now he had it. So, could it be that it was not from him, but from the bowl?
This snail noodle actually smelled like the stench of scales. Everyone was so shocked that their pupils were dizzy. They silently made a note in their hearts that they would never try snail noodles again.
When Li Changchang shouted for the third time, someone near the wall finally raised his hand tremblingly, "Well, well, I'm number 2."
Li Changchu brought the snail noodles over and confirmed that it was customer number 2 before saying, "Please enjoy your meal."
Guest No. 2: “…”
He looked at the bowl of snail noodles in front of him with a strong and foul smell, feeling like he wanted to cry but had no tears.
The guests who were originally at the same table with him stood up with their bowls, and distanced themselves from Guest No. 2. Others also looked over here, curious whether Guest No. 2 could eat such a smelly thing.
Guest No. 2 looked at the snail noodles in front of him. To be fair, this bowl of snail noodles looked very appetizing. The white and plump rice noodles were soaked in the red oil soup base, and there were sour bamboo shoots, black fungus, peanuts, bean curd sheets and dehydrated vegetables on top.
With so many ingredients, even if the customers cannot fully recognize what they are, the visual effect is really good.
The premise is that it doesn’t stink.
At this moment, Customer No. 2 was quite conflicted. After all, he had bought this with 18 coins. It seemed a pity not to eat it, and it seemed delicious.
As for eating it... the taste reminded him of the stench of scales, and he really couldn't eat it.
Customer No. 2 hesitated for a long time and couldn't make up his mind to put the rice noodles into his mouth. He hesitated to pick up the rice noodles with the fork and put it down, then put it down and picked it up again.
Before he could figure out what was going on, the guests at the next table, who had been curiously staring at him, wanting to see his reaction after eating, couldn't wait any longer. "Hey, what are you doing? Are you going to eat or not? Can't you see there are so many people waiting outside?"
Guest No. 2 turned around and glared at the man, "Why are you rushing me? Aren't you taking up a seat too?"
Before he finished speaking, someone urged him, "Hurry up and eat it. Try it and see what it tastes like. Then tell us what you've eaten."
No matter which world, there are always people who like to watch the fun and no matter how big the event.
They were furious before because they thought someone had the stench of scales on him.
Now that they realized it was the taste of the snail noodles in the restaurant, they were eager to see the excitement of people placing orders for snail noodles.
Guest No. 2 also noticed it, and all eyes around him were on him, with eyes looking forward to the show, waiting for his reaction after eating the snail noodles.
Guest No. 2: “…”
He took a deep breath, and then he was choked by the smell of the snail noodles in front of him and started coughing. He was so angry that he wanted to stop eating it, but after taking one look at the snail noodles, he couldn't bear to give it up.
The apocalypse has been here for too long, and the base does not have complete information about the period before the apocalypse, although they know that steamed buns, bread, instant noodles, rice and other foods were common meals that humans often ate before the apocalypse.
But people in the base had seen rice noodles in the library, but there was no information about snail noodles.
When customer No. 2 was looking at the menu at the door today, he was attracted by the snail noodles that he didn't know about, so he chose snail noodles.
Who knew that snail noodles could be so deceptive?
Finally, guest No. 2 pinched his nose, picked up the rice noodles with a fork, and stuffed them into his mouth with a fearless attitude.
Because of nervousness, he closed his eyes and his whole face was wrinkled.
However, the moment the snail noodles entered his mouth, the expression on his face relaxed and his eyes opened.
"How is it? Is it delicious?" The guests around couldn't help but ask when they saw this.
Guest No. 2 said nothing, chewed and savored the food carefully, then loosened the hand that was pinching his nose, opened his eyes wide, and took another big bite.
There are a lot of side dishes in the snail noodles, so when he picked up the rice noodles, they were mixed with side dishes such as sour bamboo shoots and black fungus. When he took a bite, the taste was distinct and the flavor was very prominent. The more he ate, the more fragrant and delicious it became.
He didn't answer the people around him at all, and ate mouthful by mouthful.
But there was no need for Guest No. 2 to answer, as everyone understood from his facial expression.
"No way, can something so smelly really be delicious?"
"It should be delicious. He was so resistant just now. If it's not delicious, he shouldn't be eating like this now."
"Impossible? This is really stinky... Could he be deliberately trying to trick us? Pretending it's delicious to make us itch to order something so stinky next time?"
Everyone around couldn't help but whisper to the person sitting close to them.
But seeing that customer number 2 looked so satisfied while eating, without even a hint of reluctance, it didn't seem like he was faking it. After all, who would make such a huge sacrifice to deceive someone? And could they pretend so well?
Unfortunately, they had already ordered their meals, so there was no chance to order some snail noodles to try.
However, it's a good thing that they can't eat it now. Isn't it enough for people to try it to see if it's really delicious? They can also ask others to help them test it out.
Apparently, many people think so.
So, when this group of customers finished their meal and walked out, they said to the customers waiting in line outside to order: "Today we have snail noodles in the store. This thing smells good but tastes delicious. It's super delicious. Don't miss it. You must try it."
"Yes, yes, you must order the snail rice noodle, it's really delicious."
When one person said this, people outside were still skeptical. What does it mean to smell bad but taste good?
But there were more than one person who said this. People who came out of the store one after another said the same thing. Some people couldn't help but order snail noodles with the mentality of giving it a try.
So, An Qing quickly became busy. There were too many people ordering snail noodles, and she only had one stove that could make a fire. She had to use a big pot to boil water to cook the snail noodles, so that she could cook for several people at a time.
The kitchen became increasingly busy, and Tang Ming also joined in to help.
An Qing thought that she had to ask Wei Xunyi to get her a few large colanders. Oh, and she also needed more stoves and bowls. This bowl was suitable for instant noodles, but it was a bit small for snail noodles.
While she was busy, she silently noted down the things that needed to be filled in her mind, planning to go find Wei Xunyi when she was free.
But today there were a lot of people, and the line outside the restaurant was very long, the kind that stretched as far as the eye could see, and the line didn't get shorter even during working hours.
So, An Qing had no time to rest at all.
She then remembered that when she discussed with her boss yesterday, they had agreed to unblock all the blocked streets today.
Therefore, everyone in the entire base can come here now.
I just don't know how the four branches that just opened today are doing, but I guess business shouldn't be bad, because the ding-dong sound in her ears has never stopped.
She didn't feel annoyed. To her, this sound was like the sound of money coming in. It made her happy to hear it, and she felt more energetic.
