Lu Wu felt that the diners had become a little strange.
Specifically, a group of people stayed up late at night, squatting outside her tent feeding her insects, and when they saw her, they all had a hesitant expression.
It's as if there's some secret about her that she wants to tell but can't.
The diners were conflicted, which made Lu Wu curious too. She asked the three people, Qingdi, but they only said it was a gift and told her to wait patiently.
Without giving any spoilers, Lu Wu had no choice but to obediently set up his stall.
On his fifth day here, Lu Wu started selling beef noodles.
A delicious bowl of beef noodles comes from two things: good beef and noodles, neither of which can be missing.
The aroma of the beef, simmered over low heat for an hour and a half, was so enticing that it made one's mouth water as soon as the lid was lifted.
The hand-pulled noodles were slightly yellow and soft.
The dish is garnished with blanched greens, and the combination of chopped green onions and cilantro is a part that Lu Wu highly recommends.
When the first bowl of beef noodles was ready, Lu Wu served it to Qingdi amidst the enthusiastic gazes of the diners.
That's right, the first person in line today is Qingdi.
If you ask where the Sword Emperor and the Flame Ancestor are...
Somewhere in the human camp, the red-eyed Flame Ancestor was attacking the surrounding barrier with flames.
He could sense the familiar aura emanating from the barrier; it was the work of the Azure Emperor.
He explained why the Azure Emperor had suddenly invited him and the Blade Emperor to drink and chat last night; it turned out he wanted to get him drunk so he could attack him.
I woke up to find myself trapped inside a turtle shell.
The sound couldn't travel out, and people outside couldn't see his condition. He also couldn't break through the tortoise shell anytime soon.
"You old scoundrel, you've infuriated me!"
Yan Zu was already plotting how to get revenge for his mistake once he got out. He wouldn't be Yan Zu if he didn't torture the other party until he cried for his parents.
No matter how angry Yan Zu was, he couldn't get out.
If it's a head-on fight, he's not afraid of the Azure Emperor.
However, the Azure Emperor is skilled in formations. Given time, once the formation is activated, he would dare to take on several Flame Ancestors and Azure Emperors.
He kicked the barrier, and the recoil from the formation made Yan Zu wince in pain as he clutched his foot.
The reason the other party did this was simple: to prevent him from eating Boss Lu's delicious food.
Damn it, that's so stingy.
Wasn't it yesterday when he stole Qingdi's cut cake while he wasn't looking?
After so many years of friendship, can't it all be compared to a little food?
Okay, it's true that we can't compare.
Enraged, Yan Zu continued to attack the formation. According to his calculations, the formation would be shattered after another half hour of attack.
Considering their fighting spirit when faced with delicious food, Yan Zu seriously doubted whether he would be able to catch a hot meal again after he left.
The Blade Emperor shared the same worries as Yan Zu.
Both were fellow sufferers in the same boat. The Sword Emperor, trapped in his dwelling, was almost sparking with his greatsword, yet the barrier remained completely unmoved.
Turning red in the face and getting angry was of no use; all he could do was curse viciously in his heart.
The formation was set up by the Azure Emperor. He could sense the clash between the two formations, but he didn't take it to heart.
Right now, he's completely focused on the beef noodles.
The bright red noodle soup is dotted with green, and a thin layer of oil floats on the surface. The broth, made from stewed pork bones, is rich and glossy, yet not greasy.
The aroma of meat blends with the fragrance of the braising spices, while the scallion aroma, enhanced by the high temperature, balances the greasiness of the meat.
Lu Wu was very generous, piling large chunks of beef all over the noodle bowl.
The rich aroma of stewed meat wafts through the air, and the brownish-red beef is coated with a thick gravy, its fibers clearly visible yet not mushy.
With just one glance, the Green Emperor knew that the beef was tender and juicy, and must be delicious.
The Green Emperor stirred the bowl a few times with his chopsticks, lifting up some of the noodles underneath.
The handmade noodles are of uniform thickness, and when soaked in the broth, their surface is smooth and oily, yet they still maintain their firm shape.
The chili peppers used for beef noodles are displayed at the stall by Lu Wu, and anyone who likes spicy food can take as much as they want.
The Green Emperor scooped up a large spoonful.
Chili peppers scattered in the bowl ignited the appetite, and the delicious beef noodles made Qingdi unwilling to wait any longer.
With chopsticks, Qingdi picked up a few noodles, lowered his head, bit down on the noodles, and then sucked hard, rolling the long noodles into his mouth.
Suddenly, the Azure Emperor's eyes lit up.
He thought he could never guess how many surprises Boss Lu could bring.
The noodles are smooth and chewy with a slight springy texture.
The noodles are also very good at absorbing soup, and the flavor of them is just right after absorbing the soup.
After chewing a few times, Qingdi swallowed the noodles and eagerly reached for the beef with his chopsticks.
Soft and flavorful.
The long stewing process makes the beef tender and juicy without ruining its shape. When you put it in your mouth and press it down slightly with your teeth, it has a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
The beef, with its perfect balance of lean and fat, is rich in collagen, and the occasional bits of tendon feel like a delightful little surprise that Lu Wu has prepared for his diners.
With many feelings swirling in his mind, Qingdi simply used his chopsticks to twirl the noodles and beef together and put them in his mouth.
The spicy flavor made Qingdi's forehead break out in a sweat, and his back became slightly damp.
The Green Emperor had no choice but to eat some more green vegetables, whose crisp and tender texture added to the refreshing taste.
The bowl of noodles wasn't much, and the Azure Emperor finished it in no time after activating his Storm Inhalation technique.
I scooped around with my chopsticks and only managed to pick up a few scallions.
The Azure Emperor was extremely disappointed. He rubbed his still empty stomach, picked up the bowl, and drank the remaining noodle soup in large gulps.
The mellow broth had a perfect balance of saltiness, giving Qingdi an exceptional enjoyment.
Who would have thought that a bowl of beef noodles, from the noodles and beef to the broth, could be so unforgettable?
Glug glug!
Like Qingdi, many diners chose to drink the soup.
Only after the bowls were completely clean, as if they had been washed, did the diners reluctantly put down their chopsticks.
They finished eating their noodles, but Lu Wu's stall continued, leaving them with a sense of loss.
The first diners to eat are now squatting to the side, looking at Lu Wu with a resentful gaze, trying to accuse him of being cold-hearted.
Because today, there is a purchase limit on stalls in Luwu.
Each diner can only buy one bowl of beef noodles; any extra bowls will not be served.
Despite the diners' best efforts to persuade him, they could not soften Lu Wu's heart of stone and could only acquiesce to his tyrannical behavior.
Eye contact is their last act of resistance.
Lu Wu activated his protective mode.
A rebound! A complete rebound!
Don't even think about making her feel guilty!
You should know that she pulled each bowl of noodles by hand; it was no small amount of work.
Cultivators can eat it all, but if we let them eat as much as they want, Lu Wu's arms would be ruined.
Under the purchase restrictions, some diners eat slowly, hoping to preserve the delicious food for longer.
The diners who had finished eating were unwilling to leave, hoping that Lu Wu would change her mind. In the end, under the influence of the spicy aroma of the beef noodles, they bit their handkerchiefs and cried.
Among them, the Azure Emperor made full use of his youthful appearance.
