Qianliyan: I really am not that kind of person…
Chen Xiaobei: Alright… I have recently acquired a couple of new products but since you are not interested, then forget about it! 😡
Qianliyan: Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Did you say new products? What new products?
Chen Xiaobei: Oh everything – excellent wine, good food, beautiful girls. Choose one. I guarantee you’ll be pleased!
Qianliyan: Mmm… I choose good food!
Chen Xiaobei: What about my God’s Eye Talisman?
Qianliyan: If I am satisfied, I’ll send you one in secret.
Chen Xiaobei: Alright! Wait for a moment! I will send you good food immediately!
Qianliyan: Okay! I’ll be waiting! 🙏
Chen Xiaobei put down his phone, a worried look on his face.
“This is bad…” Chen Xiaobei muttered. “If he had chosen beautiful girls, I have a little website I can use! If he chose excellent wine, I have the Hundred Fruits Dragon’s Dick! But he chose good food instead! This is not Earth! Where am I going to find him good food?”
“Divine doctor, what are you mumbling to yourself about?” Bro Huo was beginning to feel a little discouraged. “The sun is going to set soon. If we don’t go back now, we will have to eat instant noodles!”
“Instant noodles? You brought instant noodles?” Chen Xiaobei lit up.
“Er… Yeah… Because there’s war all year long, all of Saint Duke soldiers carry rations in their storage bracelets…” Bro Huo answered. He could not understand why an outstanding divine doctor would get so excited over instant noodles.
“Hurry! Hurry! Give me one packet!” Chen Xiaobei said.
“One packet? Ours are packaged in boxes!” Bro Huo took out a red plastic container.
“Give me! Hurry up and give it to me!” Chen Xiaobei took the boxed noodles and examined it. “Kang Shifu? Roasted Crimson Beef noodle? This… isn’t this too posh…”
“Haha! This is Boulder Planet’s specialty product!” Bro Huo grinned. “Handpicked hearty Three-star Spirit Beast roasted to perfection, and then paired with some Three-star Spirit Plant yellow-gold fragrant wheat kneeded into yellow-gold ramen! Add in boiling water and ooh! Deliciousness!”
“Isn’t that just roasted beef noodle…” Chen Xiaobei was speechless. “Where can I get hot water! Make me one now!”
“I have hot water too!” Bro Huo took out a very modern-looking thermo flask. When he opened the cap, steam came pouring out. It was definitely hot enough to cook the noodles.
Chen Xiaobei ripped open the packaging, poured in the seasoning, the hot water, and then covered the container.
“Divine doctor, how can you still have the appetite to eat noodles? Are you giving up finding the deer?” Bro Huo took one box of noodle out for himself. “I’m hungry too. I’ll have a box of Laotan Sauerkraut noodles! This is my favorite flavor!”
Bro Huo plopped down on the grass and began preparing his noodles.
After a few minutes, Chen Xiaobei put the cooked box of noodles into his Infinite Space Ring.
“Divine doctor! Your noodles are almost ready! Why did you put it away? It’ll be overcooked it you continue to let it sit!” Bro Huo said.
“I have something to do! I’ll eat later!” Chen Xiaobei answered.
He had already put the roasted beef noodle into a red envelope, ready to be sent to Qianliyan.
“Crap!” Once he hit the send button, Chen Xiaobei was suddenly anxious. “I should’ve tried it first! What if this alien instant noodles tastes different from the ones back on Earth? That’s going to be a problem! If Qianliyan doesn’t like it, he won’t give me the God’s Eye Talisman. It’s going to be sundown in half an hour. If I don’t catch that deer, I won’t be able to join that martial arts contest, and Luo Puti will be married off to someone else!”
The more Chen Xiaobei thought about it, the more worried he grew.
These instant noodles were of grave importance. Should anything go awry, it would an unsalvageable situation!
Ding!
Chen Xiaobei’s phone rang. It was Qianliyan.
“Crap! Please let nothing be wrong with it!” Chen Xiaobei held his phone with a hand covering the screen, afraid to look at the message. “If this fails, I can’t join the contest. Then I will have to resort to take her over by force! By that time, I will create a big mess!”
“Divine doctor! Why are you talking to yourself again?” Bro Huo frowned. “Time waits for no man! If you don’t eat your noodles, they will get all soggy!”
“You’re right! Time waits for no man! Whatever the outcome, I have to face it! I don’t have time to waste!” Chen Xiaobei took a deep breath and looked at the message.
What he read gave him a shock.
Qianliyan: My goodness… God Chen… These noodles… Oh these noodles… they are too too too delicious…😭 I took one bite and there was a powerful force gushing out of the noodles. Every bite had a bounce to it! The springiness of the noodle! The bite! The feeling in the mouth! It’s wonderful! Also, there’s an unmistakable fragrance of freshly made noodles. That natural taste makes me feel like I’m scampering down the field with every bite! Oh, and the soup is rich and aromatic! I am willing to bet that this was made with a generous amount of beef braising for long hours! Of course, the most important part are the large pieces of beef, paired with the unique seasoning. Every piece, every mouthful was regal, lingering on my palates! This is the first time I’ve eaten such a wonderful bowl of noodles!”
“Err…” Chen Xiaobei stared at the message in disbelief. “This is just a bowl of roasted beef noodle cooked in boiled filtered water. But the way he described it makes me want to have a bowl myself!”
Qianliyan: God Chen! Do you have more? I’ve finished it already! There’s not a drop of soup left! Send me one more!
Chen Xiaobei: These noodles a rare high-quality gourmet food. It took a lot of effort to acquire it!
Qianliyan: Pfft! Please, save that act! You are the notorious profiteer of the Three Realms! It’s not like I don’t know that! I’m sure you have a lot more of that noodles!
Chen Xiaobei: Er… I’m in a bit of a rush. Give me the God’s Eye Talisman first. We’ll talk about the noodles some other time!
Qianliyan: I know! You are planning to use these noodles to enter the gourmet food competition?
Chen Xiaobei: Huh? What gourmet food competition?
Qianliyan: What? Don’t you know about it? Culinary God is hosting this competition. It’s happening right after Qixi and Mid-autumn festival!
Chen Xiaobei: Wow! I really didn’t know about it. Isn’t Qixi festival seven days away?
Qianliyan: The group will start to be really excited during the two months following Qixi! There will be a Red Envelope Snatching Session during Qixi festival and another during mid-autumn festival. Right after that will be the Culinary God’s gourmet food competition!
Chen Xiaobei: That sounds awesome! I haven’t snatched any Red Envelopes for a while now! I can’t wait!
Qianliyan: Haha, I can’t wait either! I always get pretty decent things during the Red Envelope Snatching Sessions!
Chen Xiaobei: Alright! I can’t chat with you for now! Give me the God’s Eye Talisman! It’s urgent!
Qianliyan: Get ready to receive my Red Envelope!
