Chapter 45: Fight
When we arrived at the lobster restaurant, we found that there were quite a lot of people here. Most of them came out of curiosity to try something new, and some were attracted by the majestic appearance of the lobster and wanted to exercise their courage. After eating the legendary lobster, these people could not walk anymore, so this place has been packed since it opened.
If space technology hadn't become quite popular now and the store hadn't used it to increase its area, Wen Le and his friends wouldn't even be able to get a table.
After opening the table's automatic ordering machine, a long menu appeared. Wen Le hesitated between the spicy and garlic flavors before finally ordering both. These two flavors are considered the most popular crayfish dishes, and with so many people sharing, there's no need to worry about not finishing the meal. If you really can't finish it, you can take it away.
When ordering, Wen Le secretly asked the system if Jin Cancan could eat this. If not, he would have to ask the waiter to go to another store and buy something else for him. The system replied directly: "Yes!"
As winged tigers, their stomachs were truly iron, and they could digest even a small amount of highly toxic food, especially in adulthood, let alone a plate of crayfish. However, the system didn't mention this, fearing Wen Le wouldn't understand and feed his young master carelessly, potentially harming his health.
Wen Le could guess the system was hiding something from him, but ever since he learned it was Jin Cancan's, he no longer had the urge to delve deeper. After all, the system didn't originally belong to them; it was created by their ancestors, so it was understandable that it was hiding something from an outsider like him. As long as it didn't quietly trick him again or affect his life, he didn't want to pursue anything else. His most urgent task now was to learn as much as possible from the system before Jin Cancan's parents arrived; this was the foundation of his survival in this world. Otherwise, if the system was taken out, even this advantage would be gone.
Wen Le had thought about the possibility that the system would be left behind, but he was still willing to make plans for the worst, so that if he really encountered such a situation, he would be able to respond calmly and not become flustered.
But it was too far to talk about these things now, so Wen Le quickly turned his attention back to the food.
"Hey, what does this sauce-flavored flavor taste like?" Xu Dongdong pointed at the flavor column on the ordering device and asked, "I've had sauce-flavored pancakes, but I've never had sauce-flavored crayfish. Can this be delicious?"
Lily never tolerated him asking such stupid questions, so she said directly, "If it tastes good or not, you'll know after you've tried it yourself."
"What if it doesn't taste good?" Xu Dongdong replied fearlessly.
Li Zhenzhen was afraid that the two would start fighting again and be caught by the school inspection team, so she quickly tried to smooth things over: "You can look at the number of orders for each flavor on the ordering machine. After all, people's tastes are relatively consistent. The ones with the most orders must be the best." However, it is not ruled out that people with more unusual tastes will prefer more alternative things.
However, there was no need for Li Zhenzhen to say such things. The four of them had eaten at so many night market restaurants together, and their tastes were basically the same. No one's taste was more special than the others. The only difference was whether they liked spicy or light food, sour or sweet food.
"You're right, I actually forgot about this." Xu Dongdong opened the order rate on the order machine and found that the sauce flavor ranked third, which means the taste should be good, at least within the acceptable range. So he secretly ordered a sauce flavor. Anyway, if it doesn't taste good, he will ask his friends to help eat it. That's how smart it is.
"Huh? There's a steamed dish here?" Li Zhenzhen was thrilled, as if she'd discovered something new. "And it's the fifth most-ordered dish! I want this!" Her tastes were usually quite simple. She'd always wanted to eat all-vegetarian boiled dishes to protect her skin from acne, but it was only after spending time with Wen Le and the others that she started to develop a stronger taste. But she'd been used to light dishes since she was a child, and deep down, she still preferred light flavors.
Wen Le: “…” I always feel that this taste is quite strange.
Sure enough, the steamed lobster was extremely unpalatable. Although the chef had removed the fishy smell, it still tasted very fishy and had a strange taste.
Wen Le peeled a golden shrimp out of spite and ate it. The shrimp only held the meat in his mouth for a moment and then spat it out. It stuck out its tongue like a dog and its eyes were wide open. The uncomfortable look on its face made Wen Le want to laugh.
Jin Cancan reacted and raised his paw to hit his owner in the face, but when the owner gave him a look, he immediately retracted his paw and rubbed Wen Le's leg with his head.
Wen Le knew when to stop and quickly peeled a garlic-flavored shrimp and stuffed it into the little thing's mouth, which made it forgive him.
As for Xu Dongdong, she was particularly sad and angry and said: "Who on earth put up this praise rate? It's so unpalatable and yet it ranks fifth. The taste is really strong."
Just as he finished speaking, he heard a voice from the next door: "Give this steamed flavor a good review. Don't let us be deceived, let the people behind us taste this flavor too~"
"Haha, I wonder which idiot behind me will order this steamed flavor."
The foursome: “…”
The four of them looked at each other, and finally the four of them silently clicked on the review and gave a thumbs up to the steamed dish.
As the saying goes, happiness is better shared than happiness alone, happiness is truly good when everyone is happy.
…
On their way back, Wen Le and his companions ran into a group of people at the entrance of the lobster restaurant. The leader whistled upon seeing the four people, "Hey, aren't these four lowly guests?" He then looked around the lobster restaurant and said, "It seems this isn't a high-class place, otherwise why would they welcome you?"
As he said this, the other person glared at Wen Le fiercely, making him feel particularly depressed. Just talk, why glare at him? Is he really picking on the weak? Furthermore, the familiar recipe, the familiar taste, and the resemblance to someone he'd forgotten, Wen Le had a rough idea of who the other person was.
He turned around and asked Xu Dongdong beside him with a smile: "This person looks familiar, is he that person's relative?" Otherwise, why would he take the initiative to pick a fight with them?
Xu Dongdong sneered: "It's the mad dog raised by the Song family."
"What did you say?" Hearing that Xu Dongdong was afraid of him, the other person immediately got angry and rushed over to hit him, but was stopped by his companions. This person was also spoiled by his family. He was usually a bully and would not tolerate others saying anything bad about him. Now he was furious when Xu Dongdong said this.
Xu Dongdong is also the little bully in the family. How could he be afraid of Song Anding? He immediately rolled up his sleeves and said, "What do you want to do? Come over here if you have the guts. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Wen Le quickly stopped him: "Take a deep breath, good boy, don't fight. Don't forget to write a 10,000-word self-criticism!" This is really an unbearable burden for life. Writing a 20,000-word self-criticism within a month is already hard enough, and writing another 10,000-word self-criticism is like asking for death.
Xu Dongdong, who was originally ready to fight with the other party, immediately calmed down when he heard the 10,000-word self-criticism. He put down his sleeves and said, "I won't argue with you."
After saying this, he caught a glimpse of the inspection team rushing over here, and he was immediately relieved: Fortunately, there was no fight just now, otherwise I would not be able to escape the ten thousand word self-criticism today.
In just a few moments, a large crowd of students had gathered around them, mostly from Class E. These bratty kids were afraid of nothing more than causing trouble, and their biggest fear was that it wasn't big enough or lively enough. Seeing the two groups fighting like roosters, a few people crowed and cursed at each other, only to be grabbed by the neck and dragged away before they could even begin to warm up. How could they be satisfied?
They had their seats ready, waiting to see the spectacle of the year, and now it's over before it even begins? How can this be tolerated? It absolutely cannot be.
So these naughty kids were immediately dissatisfied, and some even started to jeer: "Go ahead and fight, whoever doesn't fight is not a man."
The person who said this was a senior. Judging by the nameplate on their uniform, they belonged to Class E3, which Wen Le and the others didn't recognize. However, a few students from the same class saw Wen Le and the others and quickly squeezed through the crowd, asking, "What's going on?" They acted like they were ready to fight off anyone who dared to bully them.
I have to say that the students in their class are very united. They may not communicate much due to lack of playtime and may have their own small groups, but if a classmate is bullied by someone from another class, they will immediately unite and face the outsiders. In their opinion, they can fight among themselves, such as fighting with classmates in the classroom over a disagreement, and no one will care even if the fight is a mess, but they will never allow themselves to be bullied outside.
Xu Dongdong raised his chin towards the other side and said, "Well, they are the ones provoking us. It's totally inexplicable."
The little fat boy was also very depressed. He was in a good mood after having a good midnight snack, but then he ran into this lunatic. I don't know how the Song family raised their children. The children they raised are more and more unpresentable. The sister is like this, and the brother is also like this. It's really disgusting.
However, when I thought of the eldest son of the Song family who was more cunning than a sieve and was particularly tolerant, I suddenly felt that this pair of siblings were easier to deal with. At least they showed their thoughts on their faces.
As they spoke, the inspection team arrived. Their arrival was like Moses parting the sea; the crowd of onlookers instantly split into two, clearing a wide path for the inspection team. The E3 class senior who had been stirring up the excitement immediately cowered like a quail, ducking back into the crowd and refusing to utter a single word.
"What's going on?" The team leader of the inspection team obviously knew Wen Le and the others, and suddenly felt a headache: "Why are you here again?" He said with a bit of a toothache, "Okay, if you have anything to say, tell us when you get back." Then he let the onlookers disperse.
The senior who had been causing the trouble also tried to leave with the crowd. Xu Dongdong recognized him and pointed at him, saying, "Teacher, we didn't want to fight just now, but he told us to hurry up."
Want to see him perform? No way!
So the senior student was asked to leave with the inspection team with a sad face, because he instigated the younger students to fight in a group, which was too serious and he had to be taken back to be punished.
