Jiangcheng, Huating Residential Complex.
At Su Hang's home, everyone sat down at the dining table in the living room.
One after another, steaming hot and delicious dishes were served on the table by Jiang Sui, including braised prawns, poached chicken, braised pork belly with preserved mustard greens, raw marinated seafood, sweet and sour Yellow River carp, and sweet and sour pork...
Twelve dishes, all of them substantial.
Little Liuli clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Si Guoyi, just looking at the dishes makes my mouth water! No wonder it's Xiao Sui Sui's cooking skills are so superb!"
"And there's hand-pulled noodles too." Jiang Sui smiled and brought over the rice cooker, filling everyone's bowls with fragrant dried noodles. "Everyone, eat and drink your fill, then we'll continue our battle in the King's Canyon at eight o'clock!"
Huyan Lan rested her chin on her hands and teased, " Su Hang, you should be secretly happy to have a sister like Suisui who is both elegant in public and capable in the kitchen."
Unusually, Su Hang didn't object. Instead, he picked up his chopsticks and invited, "We've been playing King of Glory all afternoon, let's eat and replenish our energy."
"I was just about to ask that," Yin Long said, pushing up his silver mask and looking at the empty table with a strange expression, "Why aren't my bowl and chopsticks here?"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you," Jiang Sui said proudly, arms crossed, "Although you're staying at my place for free, you have to pay for your meals!"
Yin Long froze, his eyes widening. "You need money for food?"
"Of course, you can also order takeout or go out to eat."
Jiang Sui revealed the training contract, a mischievous smile on her face, "Friendly reminder: special clauses stipulate that personal electronic devices cannot be used, and you cannot go out at will. Violations will be subject to fines ranging from 100 million to 1 billion!"
"Holy crap!" Yin Long was dumbfounded. So this was the trap they set when signing the training contract. It was truly impossible to guard against!
Yin Long's face darkened, and he argued forcefully, "[Phoenix][Tiger] also signed a training contract, so why aren't they charged for their meals?"
Jiang Sui instantly activated her Spinosaurus form, glaring and hissing, "Who told you to steal my coins and offend me? I'm targeting you, is there a problem?"
Su Hang and Huyan Lan buried their heads in their hands, trying not to laugh.
Beneath the mask, Yin Long's face turned a deep shade of liver with anger. He had no choice but to lower his head; he was under someone else's roof. "How much do you want for this meal?"
"One hundred yuan."
Yin Long exclaimed, "Why don't you just rob it?"
Jiang Sui put her hands on her hips and said fiercely, "I'm going to rob you, grandma! If you willingly hand over your coins, I'll guarantee you a life of plenty. If you don't, you'll be starving!"
"You think you can force me to hand over coins by offering to eat? No way!" Yin Long trembled with rage, pointing at the window. "Even if I starve to death outside, or jump off this building, I, Yin Long, would rather die than eat a single thing you give me!"
"Let's see how long you can last," Jiang Sui grumbled. "Everyone, ignore him, let's eat."
Everyone started eating.
"Hey, Deputy Tiger, all the dishes are here, why don't you eat them?" Su Hang asked doubtfully, "Is it not to your liking?"
"I've been overthinking, and my body's been acting up. I'm throwing up everything I eat." Hu Xiao said, taking out a liquid packet. "You guys eat yours, I'll just drink the nutritional supplement."
" Uncle Hu, just drinking nutritional supplements won't do," Jiang Sui urged. "Try my cooking; you might like it."
Hu Xiao quickly waved his hand and said, "I really can't eat any more. I've tried every kind of food on the market, and I vomit everything I eat."
"How will you know if you don't try?" Su Hang pushed the bowl of noodles in front of Hu Xiao. "Try my sister's handmade noodles first."
"Then I'll give it a try."
Hu Xiao frowned, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and pick up his chopsticks. Under everyone's watchful eyes, he picked up a few noodles, slurped them into his mouth, his cheeks puffed out slightly, and slowly began to chew.
The noodles are chewy and smooth, with a rich wheat flavor.
The moment I made the swallowing motion, a long-lost feeling of nausea surged into my mind.
"See, I told you so, I vomited everything I ate..."
Hu Xiao stopped mid-sentence, suddenly stunned.
Because of his short stature and gloomy personality, he had no friends growing up. It wasn't until he dropped out of high school at 18, started playing Honor of Kings, and joined the Imperial Crown Team that he finally made his first friend, [ Imperial Emperor ]!
I remember once when the Imperial Emperor learned that he ate instant noodles for every meal, he immediately called him on QQ. After a concerned but angry outburst, he sent him a recipe and demanded that he cook according to the recipe every day, and even supervised his compliance by taking photos and checking in!
That was the first time he had felt care from friends, something even his own parents had never shown him.
The first meal prepared according to the recipe sent by the Imperial Emperor was [hand-pulled noodles]!
"Fuck you!"
Hu Xiao Roar, tears welling in his eyes, ate the noodles with gusto, exclaiming, "What the hell is this?! This is so delicious! I want another bowl!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
" Uncle Hu, if you like it, have more. There's more in the pot."
But soon, everyone realized something was wrong.
"Another bowl, please!"
"Another bowl, please!"
"Another bowl, please!"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"Brother, Uncle Hu has already eaten seven bowls of noodles." Jiang Sui said, swallowing hard as she watched Hu Xiao's belly swell rapidly. "If he keeps eating like this, won't something bad happen?"
"Let's talk about it after something happens." Su Hang glanced at the rice cooker. "Is there any hand-pulled noodles left in the kitchen? Go and cook some more!"
"Okay, I'll go right away."
A moment later, Jiang Sui brought over a pot of steaming noodles.
Hu Xiao swung his arms, put his feet on the stool, and started eating noodles like crazy.
"Damn it!"
"Another bowl, please!"
"Another bowl, please!"
Jiang Sui covered her mouth with both hands, her voice trembling, "Brother, Uncle Hu has eaten fourteen bowls of hand-pulled noodles. If he eats any more, he'll die."
Su Hang clicked his tongue twice and said, "Let's talk about it after someone dies. Once the food in the pot is finished, I'll make some more hand-pulled noodles."
"Good."
Jiang Sui brought over the third pot of hand-pulled noodles.
"Fuck you!"
"Another bowl, please!"
"Another bowl, please!"
With an extremely excited shout, the noodles in the pot decreased at a visible rate, and Hu Xiao's belly had swelled up into a large balloon!
Jiang Sui stared blankly, "Twenty... twenty-one bowls!"
What does 21 bowls of hand-pulled noodles mean? It's nearly 12 pounds of noodles, equivalent to the meal of 21 adults. That's an amount of food that's several times more terrifying than that of a competitive eater.
"Is there any more noodles in the kitchen? Go and cook some more!"
Jiang Sui mechanically turned her head and said, "Brother, Uncle Hu has eaten all the noodles in our house."
"Damn it, it's been ages since I've had such a satisfying bowl of noodles." Hu Xiao Roar patted his bulging belly, still wanting more, and said, "Absolutely seven-tenths full!"
Everyone was stunned into silence.
Twenty-one bowls of noodles, barely enough to fill me up to seven-tenths full?
Don't you want to listen to the nonsense you're spouting?
"Brother Su, Sister Xiao Jiang, thank you for the treat." Hu Xiao, carrying a large stomach, struggled to move towards the bedroom. "I'm going back to my room to digest my food. At eight o'clock sharp, I'll start my sprint to the Thousand Stars!"
Perhaps influenced by the Hu Xiao's roar, Su Hang, Huyan Lan, and Jiang Sui had a great appetite and devoured all the food on the table, achieving a world where only Yin Long went hungry.
After eating and drinking their fill, everyone returned to their rooms.
"I never expected this."
Inside the bedroom, Su Hang was adjusting the live-streaming equipment. " Deputy Hu's appetite is actually comparable to that of Mountain Lord."
I vaguely remember that Mountain Lord set a record of 30 bowls of hand-pulled noodles back then. The Imperial Crown Team is undoubtedly the king of big eaters.
"Perhaps Deputy Hu can break the Mountain Lord's record."
The clock struck eight in the evening.
Su Hang clicked to start the live stream, and while logging into his game account, he looked up at the live stream chat and suddenly froze.
What's going on?
