Swallowed Star: Food Shocks the Universe

After setting up her temporary nest, Xue Xi changed into a casual, loose white wool shirt and paired it with tight jeans, which made her legs look longer and more graceful. She put on a baseball cap and hummed a little tune as she walked towards the hall downstairs.

The three temporary friends were already waiting impatiently. When they saw Xue Xi coming down, they immediately went to greet her. Qian Yun touched his bulging belly and said, "Before I accompany the three beauties shopping, can we find a restaurant to have a nice meal? I've been so hungry and thin because I've been traveling so fast these days."

Xue Xi took a look at the belly that was similar to Zhu Bajie's and thought to herself, if I didn't have eyes, I might have believed it.

Unexpectedly, the two girls, Hu Sang and Ye Yunzi, also agreed, so Xue Xi had to follow the three of them. In fact, what she wanted to say was that there were so many chefs present, and if the price was a little higher, someone might show off his skills on the spot.

But now that we have made the decision, let’s go and try the specialties of Bai Shaoxing, they are quite delicious.

The fat boy Qian Yun seemed to have a very clear understanding of the terrain here. He led the three people to a small restaurant hidden in a narrow alley with a sign that read "Liu Ji Noodle House".

It was the first time that Xue Xi saw a noodle shop on an alien planet, and she walked into the steaming noodle shop with full anticipation.

The noodle shop was only a few hundred square meters in size, and seemed extremely small in front of the tall aliens. Most of the people eating inside were humans who were about the same height as humans on Earth. The boss didn't look very capable, and was only at the level of an apprentice of the sixth or seventh level.

The four of them sat on the stools, and Qian Yun handed the menu to Xue Xi in a familiar manner: "Here, Miss Xue Xi, this is your first day here, so you order."

Xue Xi was not polite and took the wooden menu. The words on it were carved with a sharp tool and infused with paint. It looked small and exquisite. Xue Xi looked at the types of food on the menu:

[Energy Noodles]: 15 Black Dragon Coins/1 bowl. Note: Add low-level energy potion to keep your concentration for 3 hours, essential for learning!

[Strong Noodles]: 30 Black Dragon Coins per bowl. Note: Added muscle fiber enhancer, which can strengthen your physical fitness for 5 hours, a must-have for battle!

......

The long menu was filled with noodles with various potions added to them. Xue Xi's face froze. Potions + noodles? Just add them like that? Is that something edible?

When she was on Qiulong Star, she bought a few tubes of medicine out of curiosity and tried them. The taste was so good that she almost couldn't help but pull out her tongue. The bitterness of Chinese medicine was simply sweet compared to that!

However, when she stretched her head and looked around the store, she saw that no one eating noodles had any uncomfortable expressions on their faces. Could it be that the boss used some special method to remove the smell of the medicine?

Seeing the anxious look on Qian Yun's face opposite her, Xue Xi could only order four cheaper servings of Qiangyu noodles with the idea of ​​giving it a try, 25 Black Dragon Coins per serving. The fat guy Qian Yun rushed to pay the bill.

The four of them exchanged pleasantries and chatted while waiting, and they got to know each other a little better. After a while, the boss came out with four bowls of blue noodles.

Xue Xi looked at the noodles that were the same color as Zhang Wei's Isatis root instant noodles, and the bitter taste of the added medicine. In her opinion, it was a complete dark dish.

When Qian Yun and the two little girls with tentacles received the noodles, they couldn't wait to start eating them. They looked extremely delicious. Xue Xi picked up a piece of blue noodles with chopsticks skeptically and stuffed it into her mouth with difficulty.

The moment the tip of her tongue touched the noodles, Xue Xi shuddered and a feeling of nausea came over her. She quickly covered her mouth and shut off the divine tongue's taste super sense before she recovered.

Xue Xi's reaction was seen by the boss who was surrounded by a large number of customers. His brows frowned instantly, but he didn't say anything.

Qian Yun, Hu Sang, and Ye Yunzi quickly put down their bowls and chopsticks and asked Xue Xi with concern: "What's wrong, Miss Xue Xi, is this noodle not to your liking?"

Xue Xi looked at the half blue noodle still hanging from the corner of Qian Yun's mouth, and her mouth twitched: "Can't you taste the astringent smell of the medicine in this noodle?"

She now doubted the correctness of the tastes of these three teammates. The taste that the Divine Tongue had just touched was like the feeling of mixing rotten fish and shrimp that had been dead for several months with the bitterest Chinese medicine and cooking them together for three days and three nights.

Qian Yun said with a puzzled look on his face: "Really? This kind of noodles always tastes like this. Is there something wrong with your bowl? Boss, boss!"

The boss who was paying attention here stopped what he was doing as soon as he heard the shouting and hurried out. The white jade pendants on these guests showed that they were food contestants and he couldn't afford to offend them.

"What can I do for you, distinguished guests?" The boss came to the table for four people, nodding and bowing.

Qian Yun pointed at the bowl of noodles in front of Xue Xi and said, "Boss, is there something wrong with this bowl of noodles? My friend almost vomited after eating it."

The boss looked at the bowl below, picked up a pair of clean chopsticks from the table, scooped up a noodle and put it into his mouth to taste it carefully: "No problem, this is what Qiang Yu noodles taste like?"

Xue Xi shook her head and said to the boss, "It's okay, boss. Maybe I'm not used to the local climate and the food. You go about your business." The boss nodded and said, "Okay, but it's our fault that we didn't serve our customers delicious food. The bowl of noodles for you, girl, is free. It's my apology."

The cashier refunded the money as instructed by the boss. Xue Xi didn't expect the boss to be so honest and thanked him.

Looking at the three people who were looking at her in confusion, Xue Xi said, "Eat quickly. I'll make you a bowl of noodles tonight when we get home. Could it be that the taste buds of humans are different?"

The three of them nodded, wolfed down the remaining noodles, and followed Xue Xi out of the noodle shop.

They walked around the hotel for an entire afternoon. Xue Xi discovered that the snacks in the restaurants here were mainly functional, and they didn't pay much attention to the texture and taste of the food. Occasionally, a few types of food were barely edible, but they were also made with the help of taste factor amplifiers, and Xue Xi really couldn't get used to them.

As night fell, the four of them returned to the hotel. Standing at the entrance of the hotel, a strong aroma of food wafted out from the open door. Qian Yun introduced to Xue Xi, "These nights, the gourmets in the hotel will have a cooking exchange, and it is also their own dinner. It's a pity that the food they cook is only exchanged with the gourmets, but we have no chance to taste it. We can only wait until the conference starts to taste it!"

Xue Xi was delighted, her chance had come. The torture of her taste buds throughout the day had made her doubt her judgment of deliciousness, but judging from the aroma now, the taste buds of a top gourmet were still normal.

He waved to the three people behind him and said, "Follow me. I will show you some real delicious food and comfort my stomach that has been hurt all day!"

Seeing how confident Xue Xi was, Qian Yun and the other two didn't want to discourage her. Since she was a newcomer to their small team, they had to support her no matter what.
