Chapter 40 When Hou Jinzhang Meets the "Golden Age of Soup Noodles"

After finally getting her turn, Yang Guigui didn't hesitate to order the chocolate sundae she had been eyeing for a long time. Taking a bite, she was finally satisfied.

Besides the ice cream stalls being incredibly popular with long queues, freshly cooked foods like oden, grilled sausages, and zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) are also very popular.

After teaching Xiao Yi how to order, he kept explaining while simultaneously serving oden, sausages, and packing other food items according to the order.

However, to Bai Mengran's surprise, today's guests all got the hang of it very quickly.

Especially the students of Wanlu Academy, they can grasp the concepts almost instantly, and after learning it once, they can start operating it directly when it is their turn.

Young people really do have sharp minds; they're quick to accept new things, no doubt about it.

On the other hand, the Forget-Me-Not Milk Tea Shop where Kong Nishang worked was almost deserted at first, with most customers concentrated in the convenience store.

Kong Nishang sat leisurely on a soft chair by the door, drinking iced taro ball milk tea. Unlike the pearls she had last time, the taro balls were soft, chewy, and came in three different flavors: yellow, purple, and white.

She leaned back comfortably in her chair, taking a sip of milk tea, a bite of taro ball, another sip of milk tea, another bite of taro ball…

This scene attracted Hou Jinzhang, who arrived late. He noticed the unusual cup in her hand from afar.

Seeing Kong Nishang slurping, she could drink from the cup simply by going through the thin tube at the top?

This thing is quite interesting!

He arrived late because he was at the very back of the line when he came in, humbly letting the women and children go in first.

Once he arrived at the fairyland, he noticed that the convenience store was crowded with people, so he decided to wait a while before going in and wandered around looking at the surroundings.

When Hou Jinzhang arrived at the milk tea shop, he was somewhat bewildered and at a loss as he stared at the ordering screen because he had arrived late and had not heard any instructions on how to order.

When Kong Nishang saw someone coming to the milk tea shop, she immediately stood up and followed.

"Young master, would you like some milk tea?"

Hou Jinzhang heard a soft, gentle female voice in his ear. He turned around and saw that it was the girl who had been drinking something earlier, who had somehow appeared behind him.

After asking him the question, she took two more sips of her drink.

"Excuse me, young lady, what are you drinking...?" Hou Jinzhang asked curiously as he watched her chewing on the yellow and purple chunks she was sipping from the cup.

"This is taro ball milk tea, made with soft and chewy taro balls and rich milk tea. It would be a real pity if you, young master, had not tasted it!"

After Kong Nishang finished her recommendation, she couldn't help but take a big sip and chew happily.

Hou Jinzhang's appetite grew even stronger after hearing her description, but he discovered that the shop didn't even have a manager, so he didn't know how he could buy it.

"Excuse me, young lady, do you know where the owner of this shop is? I'd like to buy some milk tea."

"No need for the shopkeeper, I'll teach you how to order. Every shop here uses facial recognition for ordering."

Kong Nishang immediately started her business, having him stand facing the ordering screen so he could choose his flavor after his face was scanned.

"Miss, is this... really how I can order now?"

This was the first time Hou Jinzhang had ever seen such a thing. He never expected that after just one glance at the large square, his image would appear on it, and the square would even talk to him, letting him choose his favorite flavor and whether it was hot or cold.

He didn't know which flavor was better, since he didn't even know what milk tea tasted like, so he ordered a taro ball milk tea based on Kong Nishang's example.

Confirming the payment was easy; a quick question-and-answer session with the cube user and the payment was completed.

Since he didn't have any extra copper coins, he deducted a piece of silver and received several dozen copper coins in change.

Throughout the entire process, Hou Jinzhang acted as if he had never seen the world before, occasionally exclaiming in surprise.

Then he realized there was a girl standing next to him, so he could only give her an awkward smile, his ten toes involuntarily gripping the ground tightly.

Fortunately, the milk tea he ordered arrived by itself, rescuing him from his awkward situation.

Under Kong Nishang's instructions, he took the milk tea, placed it under the straw machine, pressed the button to insert the straw, and finally drank his first sip of milk tea.

After taking a sip, Hou Jinzhang couldn't help but let out a long, satisfying "Ha~" sound.

"puff……"

Kong Nishang couldn't help but laugh at his self-absorbed appearance.

She quickly coughed lightly to cover her laughter, "Young master, you must not have tried any of the other dishes here yet?"

Why do you ask this, young lady?

"If you have tried other dishes here, you will know that there is no bad food here. Everything is novel and delicious, and all of them are surprises!"

Kong Nishang couldn't help but think to herself: It was mainly his naive and unsophisticated appearance that gave him away.

"In that case, I will go and try some other dishes. Thank you for your help, young lady."

After experiencing the deliciousness of milk tea and hearing what Kong Nishang said, Hou Jinzhang became even more curious about the other foods here.

Thinking that I hadn't eaten breakfast or lunch and my stomach was empty, I needed to find something filling to fill my stomach.

At the same time, he was also somewhat relieved that he had just happened to encounter a carriage coming to this place, which allowed him to catch such an interesting sight.

After walking a few steps while sipping his taro ball milk tea, Hou Jinzhang came into view of a uniquely shaped and elegantly decorated food stall.

He stopped and looked up at the shop's signboard, which read "Unforgettable Eatery".

Looks like this is the perfect spot for lunch, what a coincidence!

Hou Jinzhang strode excitedly inside, but upon entering, he was astonished to find that he was the only person in the huge shop.

There was another waiter who was even more handsome than him?

"Welcome to 'Unforgettable Restaurant', please come in, sir." The waiter greeted the customer with gentle politeness.

"Waiter, what kind of food do you have here?"

Hou Jinzhang walked into the shop, holding an unfinished milk tea in one hand and his sleeve rolled up with the other, looking around as he went.

Indeed, the shop's decor is quite upscale, elegant and sophisticated.

"Sir, our shop currently sells all types of soup noodles. What flavor preferences would you like us to make a recommendation?"

"Soup noodles?? Wouldn't the flavor be very bland?"

When Hou Jinzhang heard that it was just noodle soup, his interest immediately waned. He didn't like bland food and preferred something with a slightly stronger flavor.

As he spoke, he followed the waiter to the order counter, which was covered with a row of wooden menus.

Hou Jinzhang was astonished to see the densely packed list of various noodle soup brands hanging above!

As they watched, their mouths opened wider and wider until they were big enough to swallow an egg whole.

Are there really so many kinds of noodle soup?

"Sir, our shop offers a variety of specialty noodle soups from all over Anshun, both north and south."

In addition, there is the restaurant's signature soup noodle dish, which is exclusively developed by the restaurant.

With a variety of flavors, including savory, fresh, sour, spicy, and sweet, it's sure to satisfy every customer's taste.
