Chapter 148 U-Style Roar
Although IU didn't understand what the stall owner said, it didn't stop her from bowing politely.
Seeing the boss's surprised look, Jin Qixuan smiled and explained, "She is a foreigner. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, boss."
The boss nodded thoughtfully, showing his understanding.
"Qixuan, where shall we sit?"
“All these places are fine.”
Jin Qixuan pointed to the chairs outside the stall.
"oh."
The two of them sat down at the table with their hot noodle soup. Li Zhien picked up the disposable chopsticks from the drawer and handed a pair to Jin Qixuan. Then she put her hands together and said:
"I'm starting!"
After saying that, Lee Ji-eun picked up a handful of noodles with chopsticks, blew a few breaths on it, and sucked it into her mouth with a "slurp".
"Mmm! Great! Delicious!"
This rice noodle is served in a paste-like fish soup, and the main flavor is a strong pepper flavor, but the spiciness of the pepper does not overwhelm the flavor. The freshness of the fish soup base still gushes out the moment it enters the mouth.
If you have a bowl of this in the morning in winter, it will definitely warm you up.
But, it’s summer now…
After eating a few bites, Li Zhien fanned her face to cool down when she saw the diners next to her dipping dough sticks into the noodle soup. She asked Jin Qixuan, "What is that yellow bread-like thing they are eating?"
Jin Qixuan turned his head and took a look, then said, "Youtiao."
"I want to eat, too."
"good."
After a while, Jin Qixuan bought two fried dough sticks and handed them to her, and found that more than half of the rice paste soup in his bowl was gone...
"I said..."
“I didn’t eat it!”
What a self-incriminating person...
Jin Qixuan shook his head and laughed, then handed the fried dough sticks to her.
The two of them followed the example of the diners next to them and put the fried dough sticks into the rice paste soup and stirred it thoroughly so that it absorbed the soup before putting it into their mouths to chew.
You know what, Jiangcheng's way of eating fried dough sticks is really unique...
Since Jin Qixuan's bowl of noodle soup was half empty and he ate quickly, he glanced idly at other stalls after finishing his meal.
The next food to be ordered can be inferred by the number of diners in front of the stall.
However, after a while, Jin Qixuan noticed that many aunts and young ladies were looking at him.
It’s not that I recognized Jin Qixuan.
Mainly because in Jiangcheng where the average height of men is 170cm, Jin Qixuan's tall stature of 185cm with shoes on, coupled with his outstanding looks and strong body, is really eye-catching.
But due to the inherent reserve of Chinese women and the fact that Jin Qixuan had a female companion, no one took the initiative to approach him, but just watched from a distance.
Soon, Lee Ji-eun, who was extremely sensitive to gazes, noticed the gazes of the women around her were on Kim Ki-hyeon, and instantly felt that the noodle soup in front of her was no longer delicious.
Seeing this, Lee Ji-eun raised her hand, took off her baseball cap, and slammed it on Kim Ki-hyeon's head.
Jin Qixuan was stunned, turned his head and looked at Li Zhien who was holding the bowl and sipping the fish soup nonchalantly, and asked: "What are you doing?"
“It’s a bit hot.”
“I’m hot too!”
“But you look handsome in a hat!”
"Emm...Is it handsome to wear it right way or wrong way?"
Lee Ji-eun has some understanding of Kim Ki-hyeon's personality traits.
Narcissistic, obsessed with looks, and narrow-minded.
Lee Ji-eun showed a proud smile for accurately understanding Kim Ki-hyun's concern about appearance, and said: "Wear it right, pull the brim down, and keep that mysterious feeling, it's the coolest."
Jin Qixuan did as he was told and asked, "How is it?"
"Cool~"
Seeing this, Lee Ji-eun puffed out her chest proudly like a victorious rooster, and glanced at the women around her with a haughty look.
However, after Lee Ji-eun put the hat on Kim Ki-hyeon's head, her own face was exposed to the public.
Lee Ji-eun is quite famous in mainland China now.
First, the show "Producer" became a hit on iQIYI, then she endorsed the clothing brand "Handu Yishe", and she also performed on Hunan TV's Spring Festival Gala on Chinese New Year's Eve.
This also resulted in her becoming the brightest person in the entire morning market as soon as she took off her hat.
However, Lee Ji-eun felt much more comfortable with most eyes focused on her. After all, she was already used to it.
After she finished the fish soup, she put the disposable bowls and chopsticks together and threw them into the trash can. She looked at Jin Qixuan, who only showed the lower half of his face, and asked:
“What should I eat next?”
"I see a lot of people are buying the chicken comb dumplings. Let's go eat that."
"good!"
Afterwards, Jin Qixuan bought a chicken comb dumpling and handed it to Li Zhien.
Li Zhien held the chicken comb dumpling in front of her face and gestured: "Oh my god~ It's bigger than my face!"
Jin Qixuan: “…”
Since Jin Qixuan saw that there were already onlookers taking pictures around, he wanted to raise his hand to cover her mouth, but instead he raised his index finger in front of his lips.
"What's wrong?"
"This word... um..."
Jin Qixuan didn't know how to come back for a moment. After thinking for a long time, he could only bite the bullet and said, "Don't say this word anymore."
"Why?"
"Why so many whys!"
"What's so fierce about it!"
Li Zhien rolled her eyes at Jin Qixuan and took a bite of the chicken comb dumpling viciously.
Cockscomb dumplings are a local breakfast specialty in Jiangcheng. They are named because their fried shape resembles a cockscomb.
The outside is fried crispy, and the inside is fluffy and soft noodles filled with meat filling and chopped green onions.
The specific taste is a bit like fried dough sticks...
Because they were freshly fried, the chicken comb dumplings were still steaming.
And Li Zhien's sudden and vicious bite caused her to raise her head the moment she was burned, as if she had swallowed a red-hot coal, and roared silently...
Seeing her greedy look but reluctant to vomit, Jin Qixuan laughed out loud instantly: "Pfft...hahahaha..."
Not only Jin Qixuan, but many passers-by who were taking photos around laughed kindly.
After a long while, Li Zhien finally swallowed the scalding hot chicken comb dumplings, looked at Jin Qixuan pitifully, and said, "My upper teeth are burned and blistered..."
"Let's go buy a cup of Jiangcheng Starbucks - green bean smoothie to cool you down."
"How do you know so much about this place?"
Li Zhien asked as she followed Jin Qixuan and ate.
"I checked the information."
"oh……"
After a while, Jin Qixuan handed over the mung bean shaved ice.
"Hey, have a taste."
Looking at the mung bean smoothie handed to her by Jin Qixuan, Li Zhien lowered her head and took a sip from the straw, her eyes curved instantly:
“It’s icy and sweet, delicious!”
"By the way, you like sweet food, right? There is lotus root powder over there. Let's go and try it."
Looking at Kim Ki-hyeon's back, Lee Ji-eun's thoughts gradually drifted into outer space.
If I travel with him, it should be very comfortable, right? It seems that I don't have to worry about anything, I just need to follow him . After walking a few steps, Jin Qixuan saw from the corner of his eye that Li Zhien didn't catch up.
Jin Qixuan turned around and saw her standing there in a daze. He asked in confusion, "What are you doing? Come here?"
"Oh...ah! Here it comes!"
