Chapter 305: The stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets are a few kilometers away, and I can’t eat them anymore.
Xiao Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead, held the microphone and quickly followed the cameraman.
As a reporter for a sports channel, she has covered three consecutive local marathons.
But this year's situation is somewhat unusual.
"There are a lot of people at the supply station ahead."
Cameraman Lao Zhang adjusted the camera on his shoulder and asked, "Do you want to go over and take a look?"
Xiao Wang nodded, and the two of them walked forward through the crowd.
The several supply stations we passed along the way were deserted, and the volunteers stood behind the tables bored.
The bananas and drinks on the table were neatly stacked. Occasionally, a contestant would pass by and just grab a banana and run away.
Even barbecue, hot pot, fried chicken and seafood are not popular.
But the supply station in front of him was completely different.
Before I got close, I could smell a rich fragrance.
It is a unique aroma mixed with chili oil, peppercorns and sesame seeds, which makes people salivate just by smelling it.
Under the awning, Su Chen was very busy.
Wearing disposable gloves, they are scooping out strings of ingredients from the bright red soup and packing them into disposable paper cups.
"Is this Bobo Chicken?"
Xiao Wang opened his eyes wide in surprise.
She saw the contestants lining up to receive paper cups, and after getting them, they couldn't wait to pull the skewers off the bamboo sticks and eat them with hearty sauce.
Some people's faces turned red from eating, but they were still licking their lips with satisfaction.
When Xiao Wang saw that there was something to dig up, he immediately gave the camera a professional smile.
"Dear viewers, I am now reporting live from the marathon track."
After finishing the opening remarks, Xiao Wang chose a contestant who was sitting on the ground eating skewers.
"Excuse me, contestant, are you not going to continue the competition?"
"Hey, why are you running? This Bobo Chicken is so delicious!"
The runner's mouth was full of food. "I have been running marathons for so many years, and this is the first time I have come across such delicious food at an aid station. Look at this tribute vegetable, it's crispy and tasty, and these potato chips, they are sticky and fragrant."
Xiao Wang was a little puzzled and turned to another contestant.
"What do you think of this supply station?"
"In one word, absolutely!"
The runner gave a thumbs-up and said, "I was almost exhausted from running just now, but the smell of this immediately gave me energy. After eating it, I feel even more energetic and can run again..."
"I can run to the supply point of stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets again!"
The contestant choked and swallowed the food in his mouth before completing the second half of the sentence.
Xiao Wang: ...
This year's contestants are a bit naughty.
She was stunned by what she heard and turned to the camera after a few seconds.
"Dear audience, it seems that this Boboji Aid Station has become a highlight of this marathon. Let's interview the person in charge of this aid station."
"Hello, I'm Xiao Wang, a reporter from the sports channel." She handed the microphone to Su Chen.
"Can I interview you?"
…
Little Brother Battan ran back again at some point.
He was extremely surprised when he saw the foreign diners in front of the Bobo Chicken stall feasting on chicken intestines, pig lungs, chicken gizzards and other things.
"Oh my god...Aren't they always against animal offal? Why are they eating it so happily now?"
The younger brother Battan muttered to himself.
He stood on tiptoe to glance at the large bowl of Bobo Chicken and swallowed.
By the way, I told him about the scene I had seen earlier.
"Mr. Bobo Chicken, your cooking is so delicious. When I ran back just now, I saw a few people fighting."
Su Chen looked up and found that it was Battan's younger brother, and was a little surprised.
Before he finished eating the skewers and left, he also said hello to me and vowed to win a medal for his mother.
Why, you suddenly come back now?
Isn't that just to tell him this?
While Su Chen's head was full of questions, his younger brother Batan was still describing the scene with great interest.
"A Chinese man and two white men were fighting over the Bobo Chicken while cursing at each other. In the end, the three of them even got into a fight."
"In the end, a patrolling police officer saw them and arrested them all. I have to say that your Bobo Chicken is truly charming..."
Su Chen: ...
Why does this happen just for eating Bobo Chicken?
Why don’t these people pay attention to the impact? Maybe this scene was captured by the photographers on the field.
As expected, it is still the foreigners who make the fool of themselves!
Su Chen didn't say much, picked up a handful of Bobo Chicken and distributed it to the contestants, and specially gave a few more skewers to Batan's younger brother.
"By the way, don't you still want to win a medal for your mother? Running back now will delay it."
Su Chen's words were already very tactful.
Running back now would not only cause delays, but would also be tantamount to abandonment.
"It's okay, Mr. Boboji. I'll just go to Taobao and spend money to make a medal and send it to her."
Little Battan put the chicken skewers in front of his nose, sniffed them with enjoyment, and started eating.
Su Chen was stunned when he heard this.
Wow, he is indeed a young man, with a high level of awareness.
Yiwu Small Commodity City, there are no medals at all.
Little Battan closed his eyes, raised his eyebrows in a daze, and kept putting the chicken skewers into his mouth while making sounds of enjoyment.
As soon as the teeth cut into the meat, the juice couldn't wait to overflow and splash in the mouth in an instant.
First, there is the hot and spicy impact brought by the red oil, and the spicy feeling quickly spreads to the entire mouth, awakening the long-lost taste cells.
Then, the numbing taste of Sichuan pepper penetrates and intertwines with the spicy taste, making the tip of the tongue tremble slightly, and the deliciousness of the chicken is more prominent against the backdrop of this spicy taste. Every fiber is full of mellow flavor, solid yet tender.
After swallowing, the spicy and fresh aroma still lingers in the throat, leaving a long aftertaste.
Little Brother Batan was eating so fast that he couldn't stop.
"Mainly...I think so."
Little Brother Battan chewed his food, looking like he was enjoying it immensely.
"It would be better to come here more often and eat more Bobo Chicken than to get that medal."
"After all, making my mother happy is the goal; the process and form are not important."
"It's hard for my mother to tell the medals made on Taobao are fake, and I can also eat such delicious skewers. It's a win-win situation for my mother and me."
Su Chen's mouth twitched when he heard this.
Suddenly I could understand.
One is the joy after his son won the award, and the other is the temporary satisfaction of his appetite.
Therefore, it cannot be said that there is anything wrong with his choice.
In a way, his thinking is quite clear.
As time passed, more and more marathon runners gathered around Su Chen's Bobo Chicken stall.
Most of the foreign athletes initially planned to eat two skewers of Bobo Chicken to restore their energy and then continue running.
But later on, they were all impressed by Su Chen's Bobo Chicken.
These foreign runners simply changed the marathon into a self-help marathon.
We ate Bobo Chicken and drank beer happily. When we got a little drunk, we sat on the ground and started chatting.
