"Family, have you tried Lin Ji’s Hometown Fried Noodles yet?"

Late at night, in the Lin Ji’s Food discussion threads, people were still talking about this inherently popular dish. Whether the noodles were delicious or not was beside the point; the word "hometown" in the name alone was enough to tantalize.

Blind Taxi Driver: I did, and it was really tasty. While I was eating at Lin Ji’s restaurant, I even got a long-distance fare to the airport. I hit the jackpot.

You Can’t Be Blown Away By The Wind: Is the poster above really a taxi driver?

Invisible Chicken Wings: A ride-share. I’ve been in his car before. He started recommending Lin Ji’s Food before my seatbelt was even buckled—I ended up giving him some recommendations in return.

Liang Mountain Good Drought: That’s like a pyramid scheme leader meeting a top micro-merchant.

Bobo Not Happy: Seriously, Yanjing City is so big, and there are so many ride-shares. It’s amazing that you two managed to run into each other. If there’s an idiom to describe this, it should be... what was it again?

Meow Meow Sect High Priest: Birds of a feather flock together!

Bobo Not Happy: ?????

Liang Mountain Good Drought: ?????

Invisible Chicken Wings: ???????

Not all netizens were as joyfully absurd as Lele and her friends. Some were sharing their grievances, their mood relatively gloomy.

A netizen called "I’m Qiao Family’s Second Young Master" lamented in a post:

"This evening, I finally got to try Lin Ji’s Food’s Hometown Fried Noodles. The moment I tasted it, I suddenly missed home and hastily bought a high-speed train ticket for National Day to go back. I then messaged my mom to tell her I missed her, but the reply I got was: ’Are you running short on living expenses?’ I... I was instantly shattered, family!"

No sooner had the post been made than netizens flocked to laugh at (scratch that) comfort him.

"No need to ask—definitely her own flesh and blood."

"What’s there to be shattered about? If you said you were bringing a girlfriend home, her attitude would definitely be different."

"Wow, that’s wisdom from experience, poster above!"

"Learned something new—I’m going to tell my parents I’m bringing a girlfriend home."

"You should be cautious with that kind of attempt. Otherwise, your family will clean the house spotless, buy tons of food and drinks, and then you’ll end up coming home alone... You’ll be facing double the nagging, double the disdain, double the complaints, and double the disappointment."

"Sounds like the poster above has a story!"

"Share it with us and give everyone a laugh!"

"..."

In bed, Shen Baobao rested her head on Lin Xu’s arm, finding the netizens’ goofy comments hilarious.

"Xu Bao, during past National Day or Labor Day holidays, did you ever use the excuse of bringing a girlfriend home to scam some good food and drinks from your family?"

Lin Xu took a bite of an apple, chewing as he spoke, "No. Besides, back then, the whole family was busy managing the scenic area. We didn’t have time for anything else."

He finished the apple in a couple of bites, then got out of bed with the core in hand. "I’m off to brush my teeth. Let’s sleep early tonight; we have to be busy again tomorrow."

"Alright, my hardworking Xu Bao," she said.

"It’s just earning money—what’s so hard about it?" he replied.

「For the following two days」

Lin Xu was busy making fried noodles.

During this busy period, he also made sure to redeem a training and coaching mission from the system, upgrading Wei Qian’s fried noodles Technique to the Superior Level.

In these two days, sales of the fried noodles successfully broke one thousand. The number of customers who ate the fried noodles for two consecutive meals far exceeded three hundred. In fact, quite a few people came to the restaurant to eat fried noodles three times in a row.

The side mission and the Trial Task were successfully completed.

The Perfect Level recipe for Hot and Sour Pork Tripe Soup was now officially his.

「In the small kitchen」

Lin Xu was busy filming a video on how to make fried noodles.

The popularity of the fried noodles had been skyrocketing over the past two days, leading to many videos featuring old-fashioned fried noodle recipes appearing on short video platforms. To prevent others from freely capitalizing on its popularity, Dou Wenjing suggested Lin Xu film one too.

And so, during a break in his busy morning schedule, Lin Xu managed to find the time to film the preparation of this dish.

"The method for making fried noodles isn’t difficult," Lin Xu explained as he dished the freshly cooked noodles onto a plate. "The main challenges are preventing the noodles from sticking during frying and correctly adding the broth. I’ve already covered these techniques in previous videos, so anyone who doesn’t understand can watch those."

The fried noodles were glossy and rich, mixed with celery, onions, slices of pork belly, and other ingredients, looking incredibly tempting.

He carried the plate outside, where lights and a camera were already set up at a booth. Lin Xu placed the plate on an automatic rotating display stand on the booth table for the photographer to capture close-up shots.

After the video close-ups were done, Lin Xu held up the plate again to take a cover photo.

Once these were completed, he sat down at the booth. After waiting for the cameraman to focus the lens, he began filming the tasting segment.

After just a couple of bites, the cameraman remarked, "Boss, you don’t look like you’re enjoying it enough. It lacks the usual excitement you have when eating delicious food. You seem a bit forced."

Lin Xu gave a wry smile. "I’ve been eating nothing but fried noodles for the past two days; I’ve had a bit too much..."

He stood up and reviewed his expression in the recent recording. It did seem a bit forced. So, he got a few cloves of garlic and re-filmed the tasting segment.

With the addition of garlic, this time his eating looked fine.

Still, it would be better to film videos in the afternoon in the future, he thought. That way, I’ll eat more naturally and avoid awkward takes.

After filming, Lin Xu said to Dou Wenjing, "Once it’s edited, just post it. No need to wait for the usual late-night ’food temptation’ post."

"Got it, Boss... Oh, by the way, the TV station also wants you to do a segment on fried noodles. Do you have time in the next few days?"

A TV station? Lin Xu thought. Zeng Xiaoqi probably just wants to eat them herself, doesn’t she?

Lin Xu replied, "I don’t have time to go there in the next couple of days. If Xiaoqi wants some, just tell her to come to the store. We don’t charge her anyway, so there’s no need to beat around the bush."
