This is clearly our Northeastern stewed eggplant; the sauce aroma is so rich.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop talking and let's eat! We can sleep after we finish up and get back to work for a bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Liyue and his friends were college roommates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During college, they all loved playing games and were skilled at them, so after graduating, they simply set up a studio to offer game boosting services.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they were efficient and coordinated well, they made a name for themselves in several games, and their income skyrocketed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, their schedules were irregular. When they received large orders, they even needed to work around the clock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, the previous night, they had been busy with a large order until that morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that afternoon, they had to start working on another small order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone had only slept for three or four hours and was severely sleep-deprived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting in the restaurant's chairs, they all felt like dozing off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when the noodles were served, the aroma of the Tomato Cubes Noodles topping seemed to chase away all sleepiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone perked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Liyue stopped chatting with his friends on social media.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he picked up his chopsticks and stirred the noodles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, following the example of his Northern classmates, he added a spoonful of Chili Oil to his bowl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After mixing it well, he couldn't wait to dig in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The diced tomato was fragrant, soft, and delicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each piece was enriched with meat juices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a bite, the aroma overflowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fragrance contained both the intense aroma of pork and a pleasant savory scent from the sauce. The two melded together, making the aroma richer and the taste more delicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The diced pork was perfectly fried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lean meat wasn't dry, and the fatty meat wasn't greasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pork skin even had a springy, toothsome texture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eating it piece by piece was incredibly satisfying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a bite of meat, then picked up a chopstick-full of noodles coated in the golden sauce and slurped them down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The firm and smooth noodles were enhanced by the rich meat fragrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was so good he couldn't stop eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow!

How many bowls can you eat?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Panda modestly patted his stomach. \"I'm not a competitive eater; my appetite is quite ordinary. I'll just start with two big bowls today and see how it goes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An ordinary appetite can handle two big bowls? If he had a good appetite, wouldn't he eat four or five bowls?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Panda began to order, \"We'll each have a large bowl of the signature Tomato Cubes Noodles and a bottle of North Pole.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, he took out his phone and scanned a QR code to pay for the meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he moved aside and started playing on his phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Panda Brother: At #Lin Ji's Food#, saw Yue Liyue and his bros.

Why is she always so infuriatingly smug?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several other employees in the company, also goofing off on social media, secretly covered their mouths and snickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, they had also seen the conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「In the kitchen」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xu had just finished preparing the noodles for Panda and his friends when more new customers walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, two large bowls of Tomato Egg Noodles and four large bowls of the signature Tomato Cubes Noodles.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want two large bowls of the signature Tomato Cubes Noodles, and a small bowl of Tomato Egg Noodles with extra soup for my daughter.

Boss, give me four large bowls!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A large bowl of Tomato Cubes Noodles, a small bowl of Tomato Egg Noodles, and a bottle of beer for me. Nobody's home today, so I'm going to properly enjoy this deliciousness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone seemed worried about the noon queue, so they had all arrived early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among these customers were regulars who had visited several times before, as well as newcomers checking the place out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone sat at their tables, waiting for their ordered noodles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, bowl after bowl of noodles was brought out from the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the customers ate the delicious noodles, their moods also lifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The customer drinking beer said to Lin Xu, \"Boss, you should add some bar snacks here. Right now, I can only have a couple of drinks with the noodle toppings, and it just isn't the same.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xu smiled and said, \"At the latest, by the day after tomorrow, the shop will introduce a bar snack. I guarantee it'll make your drinks even more enjoyable!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main mission triggered on the opening day was to sell one thousand bowls of hand-rolled noodles by the weekend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, Lin Xu had thought it was absolutely impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had already sold 430 bowls of noodles over the previous two days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selling another 570 bowls would complete the task and reward him with a Perfect Level Braised Snack raffle prize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With three days left until the weekend, selling over five hundred bowls of hand-rolled noodles seemed easier than drinking water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you really adding bar snacks?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, can you reveal what kind of bar snack it is? I'll get the drinks ready ahead of time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me too, I really want to know what the bar snack is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, this question was difficult to answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the reward for the task was a raffle for braised snacks, God knew what he might draw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He laughed and said, \"Announcing it beforehand would spoil the mystery. I'll just give you a hint—it's a braised snack. As for what exactly it is, you'll all know once it's introduced.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, Lin Xu returned to the kitchen to continue his work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the customers started buzzing with excitement, guessing what the new bar snack would be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Lin Xu had hinted it was a braised snack, the category was too broad. Duck heads, duck necks, chicken gizzards, Chicken Feet, pig tails, pig head meat, braised beef, and so on—all were braised snacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was simply impossible to guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Panda immediately started a betting pool under the Lin Ji's Food topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Panda Brother: #Lin Ji's Food# will introduce a new braised snack the day after tomorrow or the day after that. Everyone can take a guess! Three chances per person, and a cash prize of five hundred yuan if you guess right. Lin Ji regulars don't rip off other Lin Ji regulars!
