NOVEL NEXT Chapter 17
Chapter 17
On a quiet street in the western suburbs of Jiang City, there was a row of low bungalows with a few small storefronts.
Among them was a small noodle shop called “Liu Yishou Noodle Shop”, with three or four quiet customers inside.
“Uncle Liu, two bowls of your signature noodles, with extra green onions and less…”
“Cilantro and sesame oil, haha. I know. Hurry up and sit with your sister. The noodles will be served soon. It’s been a while since you two came last time.”
Before Li Yidao could finish, a middle-aged man came out from the kitchen to greet them.
It was evident that he was very familiar with the Li siblings.
“No rush, Uncle Liu. You attend to the others first. We can wait a bit.”
“Haha, no problem, no problem. It’ll be quick.”
This Uncle Liu was the owner of the noodle shop, named Liu Yishou.
And his “Yishou” naturally referred to his expertise in making noodles.
Liu Yishou’s noodles indeed attracted many people.
Even now, with the development of online streamers, many shop-visiting streamers began to look for these kinds of small shops.
Liu Yishou’s small noodle shop had also been promoted by some streamers.
Soon, Li Yidao and Li Yinuo’s noodles were served.
Two bowls of clear soup noodles, accompanied by a special side dish.
It instantly aroused their appetites!
The two exchanged a smile and first took a big sip of the soup.
Then they picked up their chopsticks and began eating!
At this moment, a group of people suddenly entered the once-quiet shop.
There were about five or six people, three of them holding cameras.
A chubby man was leading the way.
The remaining person was carrying a bag, its contents unknown.
“Hey, everyone, guess what we discovered today? In such a remote place, I have found this small noodle shop!”
“Just now, I inquired around, and this little noodle shop has been open for over twenty years.”
“Today, I will taste the owner’s craftsmanship!”
“Without further ado, they say the portions of this noodle shop are generous! Today, watch as I finish ten bowls for you all! If I can’t finish them, I’ll eat sh*t while doing a handstand!”
This streamer with the ID “Traveling Brother Noodles” was also a gourmet streamer.
His specialty was eating noodles!
He had almost tried all the noodle shops in Jiang City, and he ate like a big eater.
This unique live stream made him a popular streamer with three million fans.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have an assistant and a filming team with three camera angles.
Li Yidao originally enjoyed the delicious taste of the noodles and the nostalgic atmosphere of the shop.
It made them feel like they were reliving their childhood memories.
However, Brother Noodle entered and the shop became so noisy, making him frown.
So annoying!
“Hi, give me ten bowls of your best ten kinds of noodles!”
After Brother Noodles finished his opening, his assistant went and called the shop owner to serve ten bowls of noodles.
At this moment, Uncle Liu saw the situation and understood that the streamer had come again.
But he frowned.
Ten bowls of noodles?
His portions were already quite generous.
These five people wouldn’t be able to finish ten bowls.
Therefore, he patiently explained, “Well, in my shop, we only serve one type of noodles, and the portion is generous.”
“I’m afraid that the five of you can’t finish ten bowls. Why don’t I give you five bowls first?”
“No need! The ten bowls of noodles are for Brother Noodles’ live stream. We won’t eat. Just serve the noodles.”
After saying that, the assistant scanned the QR code to pay, then turned around and went back.
Liu Yishou wanted to say something, but he gave up in the end.
He thought that five people should be able to finish ten bowls of noodles. The chubby guy looked like he could eat a lot.
If they couldn’t finish it, he could just refund them two bowls. Besides, he and his wife hadn’t eaten yet, so he could keep the rest for himself.
This was an ordinary and simple person. He wasn’t concerned about how much money he could make but rather whether there would be any wastage.
That was why he had been running this noodle shop for so many years and still charged only six yuan for a bowl of noodles.
Li Yidao had asked him once. Nowadays, the cheapest bowl of noodles would start from ten yuan.
Why didn’t he raise the price?
Liu Yishou smiled and said, “If I raise the price… the taste of the noodles will change.”
“Can you still taste that flavor?”
Li Yidao was stunned at that moment, and then he smiled.
Yes, if the price had increased, the taste would change.
…
Soon, the ten bowls of noodles were brought out one by one from the kitchen.
During this time, Brother Noodles continued chatting with his fans on the live stream. His loud voice annoyed Li Yidao and Li Yinuo.
But after all, this was a noodle shop, not their own home, so they didn’t say much.
“Everyone, take a look at the ten bowls of noodles. These are genuine and substantial ten bowls of noodles!”
After arranging two fixed cameras in position and adjusting one mobile camera, the Brother Noodles picked up the chopsticks, ready to start!
However, if one observed carefully, one would notice that the angles of the two fixed cameras intentionally avoided one corner.
In that corner, there was a trash can right under his feet.
Moreover, the mobile camera could easily avoid this angle as well.
As Brother Noodles prepared to start eating, thousands of fans on the live stream started giving gifts!
“I bet Brother Noodles won’t be able to finish these ten bowls of noodles today!”
“I also bet he won’t finish them! I had the opportunity to eat at Liu Yishou’s noodle shop once. Let me tell you, the portions are incredibly generous!”
“Haha! So Brother Noodles was going to eat sh*t while standing?!”
“D*mn! Just thinking about it gets me excited. I’ll start with a rocket to activate the room!”
“I’ll give a sports car! I hope Brother Noodles can eat sh*t upside down soon!”
“Today, I declare that if the noodle brother can finish all ten bowls of noodles, I’ll eat sh*t upside down. Isn’t it just eating sh*t? Why make it like we dare not to!”
“Upstairs, can you settle your debt first? Eat the sh*t that you lost the last time, the last last time, and the last last last time!”
“Alright, alright, aren’t you guys being too much? The Brother Noodles has already started eating, and you’re discussing eating sh*t. Is that appropriate?”
“Haha, I think it’s quite fun!”
“…”
Watching the discussions in the live stream and the crazy donations from the big shots, a cunning smile flashed in the noodle brother’s eyes.
Couldn’t finish ten bowls of noodles?
What a joke!
Did that the trash can below him was just a decoration?!
No!
The angles intentionally avoided by the cameras were meant to allow him to spit out the food that reached his mouth, or even directly dump the remaining noodles!
This kind of thing could be said to be a common tactic used by these big eaters.
Either they would induce vomiting, or throw the food away secretly.
However, no matter what the method was, it was shameless.
Wasting food was the biggest crime!
As the live stream began, Brother Noodles actually ate quite a lot!
He ate most of the first bowl by himself and enjoyed it very much.
After all, he had been hungry all day.
However, starting from the second bowl, he began employing tactics.
Not even a tenth of the noodles had entered his mouth!
But he was skillful in his actions and he interacted with the live stream. The viewers didn’t notice this.
When one or two people suspected and wanted to say something, they were quickly banned and silenced by the administrators!
When he wasted the fifth bowl, Liu Yishou in the kitchen also noticed this.
He thought Brother Noodles would let others eat if he couldn’t finish it, but he never expected him to waste it!
How could a person like him tolerate it?
But he also knew that he couldn’t ruin the other person’s reputation. It would be a fight to the bitter end.
So without saying a word, he walked up and took all the remaining bowls of noodles back.
Then he refunded the money to Brother Noodles.
He made his stance clear.
This move completely confused the Brother Noodles!
His assistant was also bewildered.
The live stream chat was filled with comments!
“F*ck! What was this old man doing? Can’t you see that my Brother Noodles is eating happily?”
“That’s right! Why did you take the noodles back?”
“What kind of boss is this? Taking back the sold noodles?”
“Everyone, beware! We should never go there. Taking half-eaten food back, is that even reasonable?”
“By the way, did any of you see a trash can under Brother Noodles’s feet?”
“I also saw that the trash can was filled with noodles?”
“F*ck! Brother Noodle is cheating!”
“Who said my Brother Noodles was deceiving us? Brother Noodles, show them a panoramic view and let these haters see!”
“Yes! Open the panoramic view!”
“…”
With this speculation, the fans in the live stream went crazy!
They demanded Brother Noodles to do a panoramic live stream!
At that moment, Brother Noodles, looking confused, knew things were going downhill!
A live stream accident occurred!
He gave his assistant a look.
Soon, the live stream went black!
It was clear.
The live stream was directly cut off.
This was the most desperate way.
But with this, at least after preparing later, he could still try to come up with some excuses.
There might be some loss of fans, but he could still keep some loyal fans…
