CHAPTER 46: CHAPTER 46: I’M DOOMED, I’M GOING TO GET FAT!

Just as Jiang Yu finished making the mouthwatering chicken dish, Lu Shuwu couldn’t resist stepping forward to take a closer look.

The neatly arranged chicken pieces in the plate had tender yellow skin, gleaming with oil under the light; beneath the thin skin lay the tender white meat, which was enough to make one’s mouth water uncontrollably.

When the red secret spicy oil was poured over, each piece of chicken was coated with a bright color, paired with white crushed peanuts and green cilantro, further enhancing everyone’s appetite.

"Gulp!"

A clear swallowing sound reached his ears, causing Lu Shuwu to turn around, only to find Hu Zhihai, who had unknowingly returned with the alcohol, standing behind him, his eyes locked on the plates of mouthwatering chicken on the table, his Adam’s apple moving unrestrainedly up and down.

Seeing him like this, Lu Shuwu couldn’t help but secretly swallow down his saliva, casting another glance at Jiang Yu who stood to the side.

Seeing everyone with such expressions, Jiang Yu couldn’t help but laugh and wave his hand, saying:

"What are we waiting for? Since it’s ready, let’s start eating quickly. It’s so late, eat well and go back to rest early; we still have to be busy tomorrow!"

"Let’s eat, let’s eat! I want this big platter!"

At the sound of these words, Hu Zhihai, who was clearly a circle wider, skillfully dodged around Lu Shuwu who was blocking him and lunged directly at the mouthwatering chicken on the table.

After a good selection, he finally picked a platter that seemed to have more meat, hugged the platter, and ran to the side, not even bothering with chopsticks; he directly reached out, picked up a piece of chicken, and stuffed it into his mouth.

With a hearty bite, Hu Zhihai only felt the chicken in his mouth burst like a flood of juices, with a rich and alluring chicken essence bursting out, combined with the secret sauce poured over the chicken, his taste buds seemed to dance wildly in an instant.

"Mmm! The chicken is fragrant, tender, delicious, and chewy, so refreshing!"

Mumbling a sentence, he no longer cared to talk, burying his head to continue wolfing down the food.

Seeing Hu Zhihai gobble up the food, Lu Shuwu couldn’t resist either. He was already a major foodie; the reason he was willing to work at the bun shop was surely for moments like this?

"Boss, then I won’t be polite and will start now!"

With that, he walked up to the table, casually picked up a plate of mouthwatering chicken, and sat aside to start eating.

Though Lu Shuwu was also craving, he wasn’t as impatient as Hu Zhihai and was relatively more refined, naturally not grabbing food with his hands directly.

He took a clean cup, poured himself a glass of beer, sipped to wet his throat, then picked up chopsticks, clamped a small piece of chicken with skin, dipped it in the sauce, and put it into his mouth.

Once the chicken entered his mouth, the numb, spicy, fresh, and fragrant flavors of the red oil sauce burst on his tongue first, followed by a tangy sensation stimulating his cheek muscles, instantly causing saliva to secrete.

Having no time to savor more, Lu Shuwu quickly chewed a few mouthfuls, the cold chicken skin was tender and toothy, the texture excellent, and the meat below was fresh and juicy, not dry at all.

The spicy and fragrant flavors of the sauce penetrated the tender meat, and now and then, he could crunch the crispy peanuts...

This feeling was simply too blissful!

At this moment, Lu Shuwu felt that his previous decision to stay here was indeed correct; otherwise, how would he eat such delicious mouthwatering chicken?

This was much better than stuffed buns and sour and spicy soup!

He ate mouthfuls of chicken and beer, the taste getting better and better, and finally, feeling inconvenienced, he simply threw away the chopsticks, imitating Hu Zhihai by grabbing a chicken leg with his hand, biting off a large chunk, chewing a few times, then lifting the cup and downing the remaining beer.

Mm, this is what they call eating meat and drinking beer in big mouthfuls!

Refreshing!

Besides the two of them, at this moment, Yan Tongtong was also hugging a plate of mouthwatering chicken, eating bit by bit in the corner.

The mouthwatering chicken on her plate wasn’t much, because the chicken was too big. She worried she couldn’t finish it, so before eating, she divided half into a bowl, planning to bring it back to Xiaoqi to taste when she returned to the dormitory.

Previously, seeing Hu Zhihai gulp without a care, and then watching Lu Shuwu start eating elegantly and finally throw away the chopsticks, grabbing food with his hands, she had long been drooling.

However, with the boss still here, Yan Tongtong dared not mimic their eating style, only using chopsticks to clamp a small piece of chicken, gently nibbling a tiny bite.

Just one small bite and she was so thrilled her eyes squinted!

This mouthwatering chicken is simply so delicious!

As she took another bite, perhaps because she hadn’t seen clearly before or was just unlucky, she accidentally bit into a peppercorn that had leaked into the sauce, and in an instant, her tongue and lips went numb!

"Ooh ooh~ it’s so numb, it’s so numb, feels like my tongue is swelling..."

Yan Tongtong was somewhat at a loss.

Luckily, Hu Zhihai had brought her a bottle of yogurt earlier, she quickly unscrewed the cap, drank a big gulp, and the numb feeling slowly faded.

When her mouth felt a bit better, she hurriedly continued munching away.

This mouthwatering chicken is simply too delicious, with its fresh and juicy chicken meat, once in the mouth, the spicy, numb, and fragrant flavors make one think of the next piece, unable to stop eating!

This sensation was ten times, a hundred times better than stuffed buns and sour and spicy soup!

Eating and eating, the chicken in her plate was empty.

How come it’s all gone? I haven’t had enough yet!

Yan Tongtong paused for a moment, glanced at the large bowl holding the other half of the mouthwatering chicken beside her, and without thinking, she reached out and poured it back into her plate.

She picked up a piece of chicken, stuffed it into her mouth, thinking as she ate:

"Xiaoqi probably doesn’t like mouthwatering chicken; I’ve never seen her eat it. Yes, it must be like that. I won’t bring it to her this time; next time, next time I’ll definitely bring some back for her to taste..."

Thinking like this, Yan Tongtong ate even more contentedly...

Seeing the other three in the shop hugging their plates, head down, eating without saying a word, Jiang Yu couldn’t help but laugh.

Having his food liked by others is probably the happiest thing for a chef, right?

He wasn’t in a hurry either, found a chair, sat down, opened a bottle of beer, poured himself a glass, and started eating while drinking.

The chicken weighing two jin, with Hu Zhihai and Lu Shuwu drinking quite a bit of beer, both felt stuffed after finishing, sitting on the chairs unwilling to move.

Yan Tongtong, on the other hand, looked at the empty plate and bowl in front, while burping, feeling extremely remorseful:

"5555, why did I eat so much meat, oh no, I’m going to gain weight!

What’s more, I promised to bring some for Xiaoqi to taste, but now I’ve eaten it all, why couldn’t I resist..."
