113: This is the most delicious pig intestine noodles I have ever eaten!

“Cough, cough, cough.”

Li Xingwei and Li Yuntu simultaneously covered their stomachs awkwardly, then coughed a few times in unison.

Lu Yu pretended not to hear and was about to continue speaking when Li Xingwei waved his hand to stop him, cleared his throat again, and then smiled, “Having gotten used to the dishes made by celebrity chefs in five-star restaurants, occasionally trying the delicacies from local snack stalls is also a pleasure, isn’t it, Boss Li?”

Li Yuntu understood, quickly nodded with a smile, then turned to Lu Yu and said, “Xiao Yu, hurry up and buy two super spicy fatty intestine noodles, and have them delivered to the car later.”

Lu Yu secretly cursed Li Skinflint in his heart but still forced an awkward smile and said, “Boss, about that… I’m afraid I can’t do it…”

When Li Yuntu heard this, his heart instantly twisted with displeasure.

“What’s wrong with you? Do you think I’d shortchange you on meal money? Stop babbling and go buy it!”

Lu Yu’s mouth twitched, and he continued with a bitter smile, “Boss, it’s not about that! Listen to me, the owner of that snack stall has a very strange rule!”

Li Xingwei immediately looked over, interested, and said, “Oh, tell me!”

Lu Yu quickly nodded.

“It’s like this: the stall owner said that his super spicy fatty intestine noodles are only sold to job seekers who are about to have an interview! And it’s limited to one serving per person.”

Li Xingwei listened, then looked at Lu Yu in confusion.

“Then how did you get to eat it? Did you just start working yesterday?”

When Lu Yu heard this, he glanced guiltily at his boss, then awkwardly pinched the corner of his clothes, finding it difficult to speak for a moment.

Li Yuntu also reacted, suddenly remembering what happened yesterday, and frowned, unable to help but ask, “Did you submit your resume to the company yesterday just to eat this bowl of fatty intestine noodles?”

Lu Yu jumped in surprise, looking at Li Yuntu.

“Boss, how did you know?!”

Li Yuntu immediately slapped his forehead upon hearing this.

How could his company have such an oddball like Lu Yu?

He looked at the equally speechless Li Xingwei beside him and sighed again.

They say family shame should not be spread, but now it has not only spread, but it has also spread to a business partner he was eager to curry favor with.

The chances of their future cooperation were truly becoming more and more slim!

Thinking of this, Li Yuntu gritted his teeth again.

You, Lu Yu, if I don’t deal with you when we get back, my name, Li Yuntu, will be written backward!

Lu Yu looked at his boss’s expression, feeling bitter in his heart, sighing that he had been blinded by profit.

Now, here he was, having gained no benefits and instead finding himself in a difficult situation!

Just as the two were exchanging ‘meaningful glances,’ Li Xingwei was in a bit of a predicament.

As the successor to a family enterprise, having to submit a resume for a bowl of fatty intestine noodles whose taste was still unknown seemed utterly absurd.

If this got out, how would Li Xingwei ever show his face in his circle again?

But if he didn’t eat it, not only would this trip be in vain, but as a seasoned gourmet, he would surely feel an unbearable itch whenever he thought of it later.

Just as he was struggling, his peripheral vision caught sight of Lu Yu, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

He had an idea!

Li Xingwei immediately beamed, putting his hand on Lu Yu’s shoulder, acting like good buddies, and smiled, “This… brother, could I trouble you to buy a serving for me, um… using your quota, is that okay?”

Lu Yu was initially a bit flattered, but after Li Xingwei finished speaking, he was dumbfounded.

What did he mean by “using your quota”?

Did that mean he wouldn’t get to eat it?

Was he really that unreasonable?!

Thinking of the exquisite taste of the super spicy fatty intestine noodles, Lu Yu immediately became anxious and was about to say something when he met Li Yuntu’s warning gaze.

“…”

Lu Yu, who was just about to enter battle mode, instantly deflated.

“Oh—”

He responded lifelessly and shuffled over like a zombie.

Li Yuntu watched this scene, his mouth twitching, and once again wondered how he had ever taken a liking to Lu Yu and ended up hiring this oddball into the company.

Before long, Lu Yu returned, reluctantly handing a bowl of fatty intestine noodles that looked very spicy to Li Xingwei.

“This spicy?”

Li Xingwei was startled, but as he smelled the fragrant aroma wafting towards him, his Adam’s apple couldn’t help but bob.

Hearing this, Lu Yu looked up, and despite his displeasure, he explained, “This is mildly spicy; the stall owner said that even people who don’t eat spicy food can completely accept it, and their stomach won’t be affected in the slightest afterward.”

Seeing Lu Yu say this, Li Xingwei picked up his chopsticks with a mixture of doubt and belief, grabbing a crescent-shaped piece of glistening fatty intestine.

After patiently shaking off all the chili seeds clinging to it, he finally put it into his mouth and began to chew.

“Crunch, crunch, crunch—”

“Hmm?”

A hint of doubt flashed in Li Xingwei’s eyes as he picked up another piece of fatty intestine and put it into his mouth.

There was still the distinct crunching sound.

Only this time, Li Xingwei’s chewing speed increased significantly, and his eyes grew brighter.

“It’s really not spicy! But it retains the warming properties of chili! And the texture of this fatty intestine is the best of all the fatty intestines I’ve ever eaten!”

“Once, I had a banquet prepared by a state banquet chef with my father, and there was a dish called ‘Nine-Turned Large Intestine,’ which was also exquisite, but compared to this fatty intestine, it still fell slightly short!”

As he spoke, he picked up the noodles again, blew on them, and then eagerly slurped them down.

However, because he was too eager, he couldn’t control the force of his slurping, creating a loud “slurp, slurp” echo in the aisle.

But Li Xingwei didn’t feel embarrassed; instead, he felt that the sound was so satisfying, a perfect match for the smooth, delicate, and chewy noodles in his mouth.

After chewing and swallowing a large mouthful of noodles, he closed his eyes and savored it for a few seconds before opening his eyes and praising it once more.

“These noodles are also exceptional; the master who kneaded these noodles must have five or six decades of experience. The technique for kneading and proofing the dough is incredibly precise, and the control of water and heat is truly masterful! It’s truly indescribably amazing!”

Lu Yu, who heard this, couldn’t help but glance at Lu Chuan in the distance with a strange expression.

As for Li Yuntu, who had been listening the entire time, he couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.

After finishing the noodles, Li Xingwei began to drink the red broth.

He had originally only intended to take a small sip, but when the first mouthful of red broth went down, he was astonished by its rich flavor.

Then, as if addicted, he took one sip after another, unable to stop.

Listening to the noisy slurping of the soup, Li Yuntu and Lu Yu swallowed their saliva again.

Lu Yu was a little better, having already eaten it once, he could still savor it in his mind.

But Li Yuntu, who had never eaten it, felt like a cat was constantly scratching inside him, thoroughly piquing his curiosity.

His mind kept fantasizing about how delicious and flavorful this bowl of fatty intestine noodles would be!

When Li Xingwei had drunk every last drop of the red broth, and completely eaten the fatty intestine and noodles.

When he looked up again, his bangs were completely soaked with sweat, and his originally fair face had turned rosy and slightly flushed.

“This is the… most delicious fatty intestine noodles I’ve ever eaten! Its taste cannot be simply described in words!”

Hearing Li Xingwei’s confident words, Li Yuntu could no longer hold back and strode towards the stall.

Lu Yu asked in surprise, “Boss, where are you going?”

Li Yuntu, with a mouth full of saliva, didn’t even look back.

As for Li Xingwei, after savoring it for a few seconds in place, he finally dropped his reserve and followed along.

“…”

Looking at their retreating figures, Lu Yu, who had lost his chance to buy, suddenly had tears welling up in his eyes and began to cry silently.

Wuwuwuwu, my super spicy fatty intestine noodles!!!
