Chapter 1161 — Not a Single Bite Left
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Ga?!" An Liwen's eyes went wide, and he nearly choked with rage on the spot!
Was a man not even allowed to live anymore? Having his seafood snatched away was one thing, but now they meant to wipe him out entirely? Even the mutton skewers were to be taken?
"Oh, right, I forgot all about that! Well then, Jianwen-gege, let us hurry over and fetch them!" Shen Yushu smacked her forehead as if a sudden revelation had struck her.
"Well, of course that would be fine..." An Liwen gave Shen Yushu a smile that was uglier than a sob...
And so a peculiar scene unfolded along the shore.
Wei Zhao, Gu Mengyao, Shen Yushu, Tang Zhi, and Feng Xiaoxiao sat feasting together on a splendid barbecue, while An Liwen, Su Taizao, and Yang Ganglou stood off in the distance, watching them with envy, longing to weep yet unable to summon a single tear.
"Taizao, what have we got left to eat?" An Liwen asked with a bitter face.
"Everything I had is already gone. I wonder what Ganglou still has over there?" Su Taizao turned his gaze to Yang Ganglou.
"I did buy a few tins of canned beer at the supermarket, but there is no seafood left, and a man cannot drink beer all by itself, can he?" Yang Ganglou spread his hands and smiled wryly.
"Apart from the beer, is there nothing else at all?" Su Taizao asked.
"There are a few cups of instant noodles left..." Yang Ganglou said.
"Instant noodles will do. We shall make do and eat them! Is there not an electric kettle in the car? Boil some water and bring it over!" An Liwen thought to himself that having something was better than having nothing; the misery of an empty stomach was no small thing!
"But... there is no water, An-ge?" Yang Ganglou said weakly. "Instant noodles need plain water, and all we have here is beer. Surely we cannot soak the noodles in beer?"
"Is there not seawater? You fool, go fetch some seawater and boil it, and that will do fine! It will make a proper seafood noodle soup!" An Liwen jabbed a finger at the vast sea before them and raged, thinking to himself that Yang Ganglou truly was a fool. This great ocean lay right before his eyes, teeming with water, and still the man claimed there was none? What kind of eyes did he have?
"But seawater is salty..." Su Taizao asked, somewhat puzzled as well.
"Then put in less seasoning when you soak the noodles, and it will not be salty anymore!" An Liwen shot him a glare.
And so the three of them ate their "seafood noodles" and drank their beer, and found in it a rather distinctive flavor.
"An-ge, these noodles are really quite tasty. So fresh!" Su Taizao finished one cup and, not yet satisfied, soaked another.
"But of course. Have you not seen what sort of man I, An Liwen, am?" An Liwen said smugly.
Over on the other side, Wei Zhao and the others were eating with boundless delight, Shen Yushu and Feng Xiaoxiao in particular. The two of them ate with their mouths slick with grease, smacking their lips loudly, as if they were starving ghosts reborn into the world.
"Wei Zhao-langggong, try Xiaoxiao's abalone. It is absolutely top-notch!" Feng Xiaoxiao picked up an enormous abalone, dipped it in the sauce, and held it to Wei Zhao's lips.
"Uh... all right..." Wei Zhao opened his mouth, his thoughts drifting somewhat... Xiaoxiao's abalone? Mm... delicious...
Meanwhile, Shen Yushu was naturally not about to be outdone. In her heart she looked upon Feng Xiaoxiao with contempt. What the word "abalone" implied by extension, Shen Yushu understood perfectly well. It was often said on internet forums, after all... in the old days they called it abalone; nowadays they called it wood ear fungus...
So, whether Feng Xiaoxiao had meant it or not, Shen Yushu, as her number-one rival, began her counterattack. She picked up a cup of milk tea and handed it to Wei Zhao: "Arrow-brand-gege, you must be thirsty. Have a little of Xiaoshu's milk..."
