The driver turned around and said, "From the look of you, you just got back to the country, right? Missing your hometown's Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles? Just you wait. I'll take you to a place that serves the real thing!"
Hu Bin said gratefully, "Thanks, sir!"
Spring City's specialty was rice noodles, especially Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles. Rich, fragrant chicken broth paired with all kinds of meat and vegetables, plus springy, silky rice noodles-it was simply impossible to stop eating!
As a Spring City native, Hu Bin hadn't eaten rice noodles in a whole month. The craving was almost enough to make him cry!
So the first thing Hu Bin had to do after returning, no matter what time it was, was eat a bowl of rice noodles!
Before long, the taxi driver found a Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles shop for Hu Bin. After thanking him, Hu Bin grabbed his luggage and headed straight inside!
Hu Bin ordered four Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles sets, including meals for Ninetales and the others, who were absolutely starving!
While waiting for the noodles, Hu Bin called his parents to let them know he'd arrived safely. Once Hu Jiaxing and the others heard the news, they could finally relax!
Hu Bin and his Pokémon were all famished. As soon as the noodles arrived, he began adding vegetables and meat to the broth, followed by the rice noodles.
Hu Bin took a sip of the broth first, and its savory chicken flavor instantly sent his soul soaring to the top of his head!
Ninetales and the others were just as satisfied with their food, their expressions so blissful they looked ready to melt!
Hu Bin mentally gave the taxi driver a thumbs-up, too. Sure enough, if you wanted to find local specialties, you had to ask a taxi driver.
