"Hello, do you still have any of that chicken you’re eating? Could you sell us so? Or perhaps we could trade so of our braised dishes with you?"
A faint voice sounded in their ears, making the three, who were in the midst of enjoying their al, look up inevitably.
A young lady in her twenties appeared, looking slightly embarrassed but remained polite as she pointed at the large plate of chicken on the table.
Liu Ying felt mortified, as if her toes were digging a luxurious mansion inside her shoes.
Why did she throw paper? She should have thrown rock. Now the entire company sent her as a representative to negotiate food exchange, and it was truly awkward!
Wang Fan shook his head, "Sorry, there’s only enough chicken for us, so I’m afraid we can’t share it."
Liu Ying wasn’t upset at all by the refusal; instead, she was filled with delight and quickly said, "It’s fine, it’s fine. I won’t bother you any longer. Bye-bye."
After a slight bow, she quickly ran off.
Wang Fan and Zhuo Qianqian didn’t think much of the little episode, but Chen Kai was secretly pleased.
After all, what he was eating was Boss Wang’s exclusive large plate chicken, the kind that would make people at the next table drool with envy!
They finally finished a layer of chicken in the large plate chicken, and Chen Kai finally discovered the wide noodles lying at the bottom of the plate. At this mont, the noodles were completely soaked in the delicious chicken broth, each strand glistening with a captivating luster.
Carbon-based life forms always have a hard ti resisting carbs, and Chen Kai couldn’t help but pick up a bunch of noodles with his chopsticks.
The slippery noodles slipped halfway into his mouth in an instant, though so of the soup inevitably stayed on his lips because the noodles were rather wide. But at that mont, Chen Kai wasn’t bothered by this at all; he just wanted to gulp the noodles down, simply because it felt imnsely satisfying!
Liu Ying had already brought back the news that there was no extra food from them, and in their disappointnt, her companions couldn’t help but glance over a few more tis. Seeing Chen Kai wolfing down the food like a wild boar, they involuntarily swallowed their saliva, a big question mark forming in their minds.
Is it really that good? Was the action that exaggerated? The plate was practically tilted, for crying out loud!
Tasty, incredibly tasty!
Chen Kai felt euphoric.
The evenly thick, smooth, and chewy noodles went into his mouth, having a bouncy and chewy texture. The aroma of the noodles and the flavor of the chicken broth rged, presenting a most formidable challenge to the taste buds.
To eat a large mouthful of noodles followed by a bite of juicy and tender chicken was the perfect combination, wasn’t it?!
Add a few bites of light, fragrant stir-fried vegetables, and the balance of at and greens made dinner feel truly aningful at that mont.
Wang Fan couldn’t help but laugh and cry, seeing how desperately he was eating: "Slow down, no one’s taking it from you. Eating too fast isn’t good for you."
Chen Kai nodded after hearing this, though his speed didn’t change.
He wanted to slow down, but his taste buds were in overdrive, and he simply couldn’t stop!
"Burp..."
A large plate of the big plate chicken, along with several stir-fried vegetables, was devoured clean, leaving Chen Kai slumped in his seat, patting his stomach and letting out a satisfying burp of delight.
It had been a long ti since he had such a feast. The last ti he ate so heartily was on Mount Tai.
After feeling full and satisfied and helping tidy up things, he sensibly left. Wang Fan and Zhuo Qianqian, having cleaned up, lay down on lounge chairs, quietly watching the lake.
Looking at the azure sky and lake, listening to the waves lapping against the shore, that sense of relaxation was truly healing.
Zhuo Qianqian didn’t need healing since she had been healed many tis as a child. Holding her phone, she asked Wang Fan, "Boss, are we still going to the Fla Mountain? The one that was used as a filming location for Journey to the West. I heard the surface temperature there has already reached 81 degrees these days."
Wang Fan, a true Northerner, had a strong aversion to the word ’hot’, and the ntion of an 81-degree surface temperature made him more apprehensive.
"Let’s not go? It’s too hot; feels like people would lt there."
Zhuo Qianqian nodded, "True, I heard many people’s shoe soles got burned off. If we don’t go, then we don’t go. There’s nothing much to see. So people say the place is great for removing dampness and is good for health, but who knows if that’s true?"
"Hmm?"
Wang Fan’s eyes lit up on hearing that, "Removing dampness? Good for health? Should we consider it?"
Um...
Zhuo Qianqian looked at Wang Fan, speechless, "Boss, you’re not at the stage where you need to worry about your health yet, right?"
Wang Fan snorted lightly, "Taking care of one’s health should start from a young age, otherwise by the ti you realize you need to, it’s already too late."
Zhuo Qianqian was amused by Wang Fan’s serious expression, but still said, "But the Fla Mountain is quite far from here, over 800 kiloters."
"Oh, that’s indeed a bit far; let’s stick to our original plan then."
The two chatted casually, watching the changing scenery, just like the rest of the campers who were all equally relaxed, enjoying the soothing atmosphere.
Ti flew by, and soon it was 10 o’clock. The sun, hanging in the sky, finally began to dip slowly, and this beauty brought infinite awe to the people.
The afterglow of the sunset spread across the surface of Sayram Lake, turning the originally deep blue waters into a warm orange-gold hue. The evening glow spread across the sky, transforming the scenery before their eyes into a single color. As the sun gradually sank to the west, the twilight was slowly consud by the night.
When night fully descended, a bright moon slowly rose from the water’s surface, its moonlight spreading over the lake as if draping Sayram Lake in a silken shroud of silver.
The moon appeared so big and so close, seemingly within reach.
The lake water shimred faintly under the moonlight, creating an ethereal atmosphere around them.
This mont of serene beauty at Sayram Lake enchanted everyone, allowing them to fully imrse themselves in the charm of nature.
"Isn’t the scene of the moon rising over the sea in the novels just like this?"
"I suspect that red-haired monster designed that anomaly based on this very moon."
"But honestly, who’s so inconsiderate? Cooking fried chicken at night?"
"The aroma of chicken made dinner less enjoyable earlier, and now it’s luring us again with this late-night snack?"
"Oh, kind hero, please cease your magic act. What are we supposed to do if you carry on like this?"
The tourists, quietly enjoying the moon, were suddenly tantalized by the ever-present aroma filling their nostrils, one familiar as fried chicken.
It didn’t take them long to pinpoint its source, that imposing RV being the only suspect.
The mouthwatering chicken aroma that made them drool at dinner ca from that very vehicle, and now again, in the dead of night?!
Wang Fan was just as helpless. A young man eating a bit more was entirely normal, and staring at such breathtaking scenery without munching on sothing felt inappropriate, didn’t it?
Fried chicken paired with the moonlight—isn’t that a perfect match?
