Chapter 63 Meow Meow Meow
The next second, the principal closed his eyes and made up his mind.
Under the shocked and anxious gaze of the crowd, the principal gradually loosened his grip on the fried chicken box.
That second was dragged to infinity——
Lao Xu closed his eyes tightly, tears streaming down his cheeks, a look of enlightenment after extreme pain appeared on his face:
"From now on, this body of mine will be clear."
He let go completely.
The fried chicken fell straight into the trash can.
However, the next second.
A gust of wind blew.
The wind was not a strong gale, but a gentle breeze unique to autumn.
The wind was slightly cool, and it also carried the aroma of fried chicken, which inevitably entered Lao Xu's nose...
The slightly salty taste of the fried chicken, the aroma of oil, and the fresh fragrance of the meat rushed into Lao Xu's nasal cavity like a tsunami, spreading over every inch of his nasal mucosa.
Suddenly, a heavenly white light began to appear in front of Lao Xu's eyes.
Wow...it smells so good!
People seem to be like this; the closer they are to losing something, the more they can recall all the precious details.
For example, the oil.
He once said it so loudly, telling the whole world that such cheap fried chicken must be made with gutter oil.
But at this moment, the fragrance suddenly made him realize that this was not gutter oil, but the best rapeseed oil with a little thick milky white lard added. This mellow and fragrant smell could only be smelled during the Chinese New Year in his hometown. It was a pure oil fragrance without a trace of additives!
The aroma of the oil alone makes people imagine the chicken nuggets covered with batter crackling and slowly changing color in the golden oil.
And the fried chicken...
The familiar fragrance instantly brought Lao Xu back to his youthful days thirty or forty years ago.
At that time, he was just a carefree child. After school, he walked around the streets with his classmates, carrying a big schoolbag and holding two yuan pocket money given by his mother in his pocket.
At that time, the street stalls were so tall for the young boy that he had to tiptoe to see the chicken pieces in the pan clearly.
At that time, after school every day, we would have a portion of fried chicken. Three or four kids would pool their money to buy one, and we would eat it one bite at a time. When you feel like a little extravagant, pair it with a cup of 'Grand Taipei' milk tea, which is sweet and filled with pearls.
But the most amazing thing is the fried chicken that will never fade in memory. It feels slightly hot in the mouth when you take a bite, with golden and salty crispy shell and hot chicken...
And now, those beautiful childhood memories, along with the fried chicken, are falling into the abyss of the trash can little by little.
Gone with the wind.
Lao Xu's heart trembled with pain.
No, he couldn't keep his youth, but could he not even keep this last bit of deliciousness? !
No! ! ! !
He casually scooped up a piece of fried chicken and stuffed it into his mouth without caring about his image.
The moment the fried chicken entered his mouth, he felt a slight heat on the tip of his tongue, just as he had imagined.
When you bite down, the crispy shell soaked in pepper and salt cracks between your teeth, revealing the tiny chicken inside, which is tender and smooth with fresh juice gushing out...
The crispy shell and tender chicken will continue to ooze out juice while you chew it, and the aroma of the fried chicken will instantly fill your mouth!
His childhood is back!
Not fully back yet.
He only tasted a piece of fried chicken, but there was a whole box of fried chicken that was falling into the abyss of the trash can because of his ignorance.
We can't let such wasteful things happen.
Almost subconsciously, Lao Xu leaned over and crawled into the trash can, frantically trying to get the fried chicken.
At this time, the reporter nearby fiddled with the machine for a long time, and finally after a "ding" sound, the camera turned on.
"The equipment is ready. I'm going to start broadcasting again~"
The reporter said.
The teacher next to them was stunned. He lined up timidly while looking at the principal not far away.
After hearing the reporter's voice, they finally reacted and, like the principal not long ago, tried to stop him: "No, don't take pictures, don't take pictures, ah ah ah ah!"
But it was too late.
...The high-definition camera faithfully recorded this scene and broadcast it to the thousands of viewers currently in the live broadcast room.
The audience was originally watching the promotional video for Longteng Summer Camp.
Everyone was discussing intensely.
On the screen, the handsome 'outstanding student representative' wearing a dark blue uniform looked a lot like the man who was seen on the screen not long ago, half-kneeling on the ground like a madman picking up fried chicken to eat.
But because the video was too short, no one has yet to reach a conclusion. Some say yes, some say no, and everyone holds their own opinion.
Soon, the promotional video showed the appearance of the principal of Longteng Summer Camp.
The principal was dressed in a suit and tie. Although he was a bit old, he spoke with great vigor and was intimidating without even getting angry.
He smiled gracefully and introduced: "Our Longteng Summer Camp has a good academic atmosphere, especially our elite teaching staff. For example, I graduated from Harvard University and studied for a doctorate in education at Columbia University..."
[For such a large summer camp, the principal is probably the only normal person there:))]
[Yeah, the students are so crazy... I feel sorry for the principal. The summer camp he worked hard for most of his life was ruined by these crazy people. Hahahaha, but it's so funny]
[Doesn’t this indirectly prove that fried chicken is delicious? 】
[I feel sorry for the principal +1]
Then, the live broadcast screen flashed and the promotional video came to an abrupt end.
The scene reported by the reporter from the summer camp appeared on the screen again -
A person was desperately trying to get into the trash can without caring about anything.
It's rare to see someone crawling through a trash can with such momentum, as if the trash can contained his life's treasures, the things that are most precious and important to him. The audience couldn't help but hold their breath, wondering what happened...
After a while, the man finally poked his head out of the trash can.
He had a banana peel on his head and mud on his face, but his wrinkled old face showed a happy expression.
In his arms, he held a take-away box tightly.
The man climbed out of the trash can quietly, took off his high-end suit, and carefully wiped the takeaway box in his arms. After a while, he carefully opened the takeaway box, picked up a piece of fried chicken and put it into his mouth.
"Hmm..." He smiled with great happiness.
The audience was able to see his face clearly.
...Isn’t this the principal in a suit and tie who appeared in the promotional video not long ago?
He claims to be a graduate of Harvard and Columbia University. He has been deeply engaged in education for many years, setting an example by himself, providing students with the best teachers and cultivating the noblest character.
Audience: “…Hmmmm???”
【? ? ? Summer camp parents: rnm refund money]
[Isn’t this how it’s performed?] ? ? Is it acted or real? ? ? So devastating]
[I am dying of laughter. This is so crazy. Does your fried chicken have a built-in brainwashing function?]
[I have a feeling it will be popular, leave a name]
【+10086】
...as many viewers predicted.
The live broadcast took place at four or five in the morning.
As eight or nine o'clock approaches, more and more people wake up from their sleep and leisurely open Weibo to check out the latest news in the city on the weekend morning.
The video of this live broadcast, with its huge contrast before and after, was so demonic and crazy that it attracted more and more people to repost, comment and laugh.
Especially the sharp conflict between the "promotional video" and reality, which was played just right, made the tag #龙腾夏程炸鸡# rush to the top of the hot search list...
.
After another day of setting up the stall, Jian Yunlan happily returned to the Jian family villa on his tricycle.
Although the subsequent development of today's stall was a bit outrageous.
It's so outrageous that not only the students who climbed over the wall to get out, but also the teachers and even the principal have joined the madness for fried chicken.
After moving to the back and announcing the end of the stall for the day, Jian Yunlan looked at the diners with green eyes and was a little worried that they would rush up to him and hug him to eat.
Fortunately, with the presence of Taotie, a truly ferocious beast, nothing happened.
After returning to the villa, he took a nap and slept leisurely until eleven or twelve o'clock.
After waking up, like most people, Jian Yunlan lay on the bed and browsed his phone for a while.
As soon as he opened his scarf, he was stunned.
Because Reqiqi sorted out the first two searches and it said:
Two tags: #荷塘社区麻辣汤# and #龙腾夏营炸鸡#!
Jian Yunlan almost wondered who was monitoring his life.
The cause of the incident started yesterday.
...Two major events that became hot searches happened in City A yesterday.
The first big event came from Hetang Community.
In the Hetang community located in the city center, public security problems have become increasingly serious in recent years. Although nothing serious happened, small incidents such as theft and robbery occurred frequently and could not be stopped despite repeated bans.
Until last night, a knife robbery occurred in the business district near Hetang Community.
The news headline reads:
[In the knife robbery case in the city center, all the robbers were arrested, and the criminal police responded quickly and won praise from netizens.
Captain Wang, a criminal police officer, said in an interview: When the incident happened, the entire detachment was waiting for Malatang near Hetang Community. It is suspected that the owner of Malatang did not dare to open the stall due to the frequent gangsters. The criminal police turned their grief and anger into strength.
Jian Yunlan: "..."
Jian Yunlan had a bad feeling in her heart.
He clicked on the interview video and his bad premonition came true.
The video begins with a brief review of the crime scene. The crime happened in the city center, during the busiest time of the evening. There were a lot of people, including many elderly, weak, sick and disabled people. The situation was actually quite dangerous.
Several knife-wielding robbers held several hostages in the crowd, demanding money while shouting something very arrogantly, "Money, give me all the money!" "Don't struggle, we have people in the police station" "Haha, no policeman can beat me, shoot me if you dare!"
"...and then I shot." Detective Lao Wang smiled kindly at the camera.
reporter:"……"
"Everyone is praising the speed of the police response this time. Thanks to the timely arrival of the criminal police, no one was injured or killed." The reporter cleared his throat and asked, "Captain Wang, can you tell us why you were able to get to the crime scene so quickly?"
Captain Wang looked toward the distant horizon, his eyes becoming somewhat melancholy.
The man who has always been strong and never shows weakness actually showed such fragility at this moment.
The reporter was shocked and immediately imagined the plot he had seen in the movie:
The biggest regret of this hero is that he once lost his beloved in a vicious knife robbery.
He also vowed not to give any chance to the outlaws and always rush to the crime scene as soon as possible.
After that, he kept his promise and always rushed to the crime scene as soon as possible, saving countless lives, but his lover would never come back...
The reporter's eyes were filled with tears, ready for a similar tragic background story:
"Captain Wang, please tell me. We are all mentally prepared."
——Captain Wang sighed deeply, pinched his nose, and said sadly:
"Tonight was not our duty time... When the incident happened, our entire detachment was waiting for Mr. Jian, the owner of Malatang, to open his stall not far away."
reporter:"?"
The other detectives also showed sad and angry expressions, accusing:
"Yes, yes, Boss Jian used to come here at seven o'clock every day, but ever since the gangsters came to mess up the stall last time, he hasn't come anymore, wuwuwu!"
"Boss Jian's spicy hot pot is the ultimate delicacy in the world. We haven't had spicy hot pot for so many days. We feel so sad!"
"It's all because of these gangsters and robbers that Boss Jian didn't come..."
“So, we turn our grief and anger into strength!”
The reporter thought they were joking at first.
Unexpectedly, several policemen seemed very serious. There is hope and yearning for malatang in their eyes, their expressions are tragic and determined, and with the spotlight shining on them, they are like bloody heroes who are carrying heavy pain on their shoulders.
And, of course, there is anger.
Anger at criminals.
There were fireworks in their eyes, and the reporter had no doubt that if any criminals dared to show up next time, they would be punished with thundering measures like today.
Feel their resentment and anger for not being able to eat spicy hot pot! ! !
reporter:"…………"
Such funny news undoubtedly topped the hot search list once it was released. Not only people in the same city, but people all over the country started laughing:
[Hahahaha what’s going on?] ? ! 】
[The sense of conviction in the policemen’s eyes…was it given by Malatang?]
[Robber: The clown is actually me, sorry to bother you :)]
[What kind of spicy hot pot is this? The spicy hot pot in City A is so delicious. It seems that I need to go on a trip.]
[Captain Wang’s shooting was really decisive, so cool (thumbs-up)]
[Do you remember those robbers in the video shouting 'They have people in the police station'? They really have people, hahaha! ! He's being held in the police station! 】
Generally speaking, if someone arrogantly shouts "I have connections in xx", everyone will think that he has connections somewhere and can rescue him, so he is so arrogant.
But these knife-wielding robbers were not like that.
...They really have someone in the police station!
The kind that's locked up.
Soon someone found out that the so-called connections of the robbers were referring to a few Alpha thugs in their gang. Not long ago, thugs were arrested and put in the detention center for disturbing residents at the gate of a residential complex and causing trouble at a snack stand.
Yes, it was a group of thugs headed by Pao Hui who relied on stink bomb pheromones to commit crimes around the Hetang community.
Soon, a video was uncovered of a few Alpha thugs causing trouble at a spicy hot pot stall, but being subdued by the diners working together. This takes the hilariousness of this incident to a whole new level.
[How does this spicy hotpot snack stand hide hidden talents?]
[Oh shit!] ! ! What kind of appearance is this silver-haired, dark-skinned handsome guy? Is he a cosplayer or some kind of internet celebrity? I want the silver-haired handsome guy’s contact information! 】
[Hahaha, the muscles of the brother and sister are so handsome <333, these lines, this sense of strength... I have the motivation to work out today]
[Isn’t this the famous red circle lawyer Lu Ling! Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken? 】
[Square dance aunties' mental attack penta kill]
[I saw our school hunk in the team]
[After hearing that the Malatang boss would not be coming, the residents of the community joined forces to destroy all the thugs' dens nearby... just to get him back! 】
[So how delicious is this spicy hot pot? So many big guys are crazy about it orz]
The angle of the video was relatively remote, so everyone only saw the diners but did not see the true face of the Malatang boss.
This feeling of half-covering the face makes people feel itchy and more curious about the taste of the spicy hot pot.
This is why the tag #荷塘社区麻辣汤# is on the hot search list.
As for the other #龙腾夏程炸鸡# that was highly popular on the trending searches, it was of course because of the live broadcast accident that happened late last night.
After comparing and re-recording many times, everyone finally confirmed that Fu Changfeng, the outstanding student who was "handsome, gentle and handsome" in the promotional video, was the person who was half-kneeling on the ground picking up fried chicken to eat in the live broadcast!
There were also the multiple twists and turns in the live broadcast, the perfectly inserted promotional video, and the whole process of the principal Lao Xu himself from questioning, mocking, understanding to joining...
The show effect is full.
Several classic scenes were even made into emoticons and widely circulated.
[Hahahahahahaha this is my life, sitting in a trash can and eating fried chicken.jpg]
[Before: I disdain junk food. Afterwards: I slurp the fragrant fried chicken.
[I feel embarrassed for others. Let me put myself in the principal's shoes. One second he was praising his favorite student for his self-discipline, and the next second he saw the student lying on the ground picking up fried chicken to eat...]
[Hello, I'm glad you also like fried chicken and have your own opinions]
[Is there anyone who can describe how delicious fried chicken is? ? ! ! I’m greedy! ! 】
[It’s delicious. It’s really delicious. I climbed over the wall for three days just for a bite. It’s the most delicious food in the world (slurp) (wipe saliva)]
[Is this your unified rhetoric?] The spicy hot pot restaurant next door also says that the food is unique in the world, how about you two have a fight? 】
【ha? ? ? What's spicy hotpot? Huh]
Because of the angle of the live broadcast by the reporter from Longteng Summer Camp, and in order to protect the privacy of unrelated ordinary people, the owner of the fried chicken stall did not appear on camera.
Therefore, no one noticed that the fried chicken stall owner and the spicy hot pot owner were the same person...
City A is such a big place, but it had two trending searches that attracted national attention within one day, and both were related to snack stands.
Everyone is very curious, which is better, Malatang or fried chicken?
It started as a friendly discussion.
But gradually, as the diners from the Hetang Community and the Longteng Summer Camp arrived at the scene...
In order to defend their own boss Jian/fried chicken boss, the discussion gradually became tense, just like the previous debate over sweet tofu vs. salty tofu:
[Our Malatang is the uncrowned king of snack stalls in City A. Boss Jian is an excellent snack stall owner, the best! Awesome! 】
【hehe】
[Hehe +1, how can your spicy hot pot compare with our fried chicken? [Picture] Only those who have never seen the world would say that Malatang is delicious]
In the photo posted by the user named "Wolong Fengchu", a bite of fried chicken was taken. The golden and crispy fried batter was slightly falling apart, and the tender white chicken inside was reflecting dots of oil under the light...
It looks delicious indeed!
Netizens immediately began to take sides.
[Just a passerby, I have to say, this fried chicken does look delicious]
[I can smell the fragrance through the screen]
[Wow, how can the shell be so golden? You can imagine how tender the chicken inside is...]
Seeing that the situation was not going well, diners in Hetang Community immediately posted photos to try to save the situation.
【[Picture][Picture]Aren’t they just photos? Everyone has them! What the hell is your fried chicken? It looks good, but it must taste terrible. Only people who have never seen the world would praise it.]
[Yes, Boss Jian’s spicy hot pot is not only beautiful and smells good, but also tastes good. It can’t be compared with any fried chicken of unknown origin! [video]】
——In the video, you can see the bubbling hot beef bone soup and the crystal red oil. The person filming the video picked up a piece of fat beef with chopsticks. The curly fat beef was covered with chili oil, sesame and minced garlic. The aroma seemed to penetrate the screen and come towards him...
With the release of this video, the public opinion situation reversed again, and the onlookers were swayed by the wind like fence-sitters.
[Damn it, damn it, I unilaterally declare that you have won =口=]
[This spicy hot pot looks really delicious. My mouth is watering just by watching the video.]
[We have decided to eat Malatang tonight, a certain group, start! 】
…Seeing that the situation was reversed, the fried chicken eaters became unhappy again, and once again presented evidence, saying that the spicy hot pot eaters were "country bumpkins who only see the world from a narrow perspective."
As a result, the residents of Hetang Community and the teachers and students of Longteng Summer Camp all claimed that their snack stand owners were the best snack stand owners, and the smell of gunpowder became stronger!
Their war of words escalated all the way, and they not only tried their best to prove that their fried chicken/spicy hot pot was the most delicious, but also tried their best to discredit the other party's snacks.
Even though many people couldn't help swallowing their saliva when seeing the photos and videos of the 'enemy', they forced themselves to be firm in their original intentions and to get a well-deserved title for Boss Jian/Fried Chicken Boss!
The entry #決战至首的零食吓儀# also quickly became a hot search.
The only ones who suffered were the spectators.
They looked left and right, and were turned away by the photos and videos of various fried chicken and spicy hot pot. They could see them but could not eat them, so they could only cry and open the food delivery app to satisfy their cravings.
…On the other side, Jian Yunlan was flipping through the comment sections of various posts and couldn’t help but let out a shudder in her heart.
He registered a new account and replied weakly:
[Is it possible that fried chicken and spicy hot pot are sold by the same owner? 】
As a result, he was immediately cursed at by diners on both sides.
【impossible! Given Boss Jian's passion and dedication to Malatang, he would never make some inferior fried chicken.]
[…Hehehe, our fried chicken is not up to standard?] It's so funny, the fried chicken boss has a noble character, how dare you get involved with your spicy chicken and spicy hot pot?]
Jian Yunlan: "..."
walk slowly.
