Protagonist:
Lu Feng
First in line today was a spirited young man with a head of dyed yellow hair, his eyes carrying a few parts unruly defiance; after reaching the counter he shouted at Lu Feng: "Boss, one Explosive Spicy Flavor Fried Noodles, I want Explosive Spicy Flavor!"
Lu Feng smiled and kindly reminded him: "Explosive Spicy Flavor is really spicy, are you sure you want Explosive Spicy Flavor?"
"Sure!" Yellow Hair nodded confidently.
"Alright, anyone else behind want Explosive Spicy Flavor Fried Noodles?" Lu Feng nodded and shouted toward the few people behind Yellow Hair.
"I want Explosive Spicy Flavor too!"
"Must be Explosive Spicy Flavor! Otherwise it's not satisfying to eat!"
"Boss, I want one portion too!"
The few people behind immediately responded.
At this moment a short-statured male student behind Yellow Hair poked his head out and said weakly to Lu Feng: "Boss, I don't want Explosive Spicy Flavor, give me a Mildly Spicy portion."
This male student's clothing style was about the same as Yellow Hair's; the two looked like they came together from the nearby Internet Cafe.
"Xiao Fei, you're no good!" Yellow Hair couldn't help turning his head, frowning somewhat disdainfully: "One portion of Fried Noodles and you're scared like this, you're such a wimp, how will you hang out with Brother in the future?"
"Third Brother, I can't eat too spicy." That male student called Xiao Fei shrank his neck and said softly: "Brother you forgot last time eating Spicy Hot Pot, afterward I had diarrhea for two days, nearly dehydrated, really couldn't take it."
"Suit yourself!" Yellow Hair shook his head somewhat hate-iron-not-become-steel, then said rather proudly: "Then wait and see how your Brother eats a whole plate of Explosive Spicy Flavor Fried Noodles without changing expression!"
Seeing the few people had made their decisions, Lu Feng turned and walked into the Kitchen to start preparing Fried Noodles for them.
This time when making Fried Noodles, Lu Feng cleverly put on a Mask, so he wouldn't worry about being choked by fumes later.
After a few minutes the Fried Noodles were done.
Near serving time, Lu Feng first served out one portion, then poured Devil Chili Powder into it, stir-fried the Fried Noodles in the wok evenly, then served them out in order.
Handing the Fried Noodles to the diners waiting in front, Lu Feng continued entertaining the customers behind.
Yellow Hair and Xiao Fei carried their trays, found an empty seat and sat down.
Looking at the bright red Fried Noodles before him, Yellow Hair for some reason recalled childhood scenes of going to the countryside with his parents to pick chili peppers in the fields.
Back then he was only five years old; looking at the chili peppers growing in the field, some thought struck him, he plucked one and put it in his mouth.
After one bite, the burning spicy taste in his mouth immediately made him cry loudly in pain.
Hearing the sound his parents rushed over, saw his lips swollen huge, frightened they hurriedly hugged him and ran to the village clinic.
After tossing about for most of the day, the swollen lips slowly subsided.
Because of his fuss, the originally planned chili picking was delayed, and returning home what greeted him was naturally a mixed-gender beating.
But from that time on, he instead became addicted to the taste of chili peppers.
As time slowly passed, he gradually discovered his tolerance for chili peppers became stronger and stronger.
Today hearing Lu Feng's side launched Explosive Spicy Flavor Fried Noodles, it immediately ignited his desire for challenge.
Just as Yellow Hair sank into memory, the voice of Xiao Fei sitting to the side pulled him back to reality.
"Third Brother, these Fried Noodles are too delicious! Hey why aren't you eating?"
Yellow Hair instantly snapped back, turned his head and saw Xiao Fei had already eaten half a portion, currently looking at him with a puzzled face.
The Fried Noodles in the plate were faintly steaming, the Fried Noodles' fragrance accompanied by a spicy pungency entered his nasal cavity.
"Ah-choo!"
Yellow Hair felt his nose itch and couldn't help sneezing once.
Temporarily tossing aside those messy thoughts in his head, Yellow Hair focused his attention on the Fried Noodles before him.
"Must admit, this Boss's Fried Noodles smell fragrant just from the aroma! The presentation isn't bad either!" Yellow Hair praised aloud.
The Fried Noodles' surface was coated with a layer of fine chili powder, looking bright red, making one's appetite surge involuntarily.
"What's this? Today let you see your Brother's skill, directly start!"
Xiao Fei glanced at the Fried Noodles before Yellow Hair and couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.
"This counts as what? Today let you see your Brother my strength, directly begin!"
Yellow Hair looked at Xiao Fei with a proud face, then picked up chopsticks, clamped a clump of Fried Noodles, and somewhat impatiently stuffed them into his mouth.
The next second, a burning spicy stimulation instantly rushed from his oral cavity straight to his crown, making him stare wide-eyed involuntarily.
Damn! So spicy!
Yellow Hair felt these noodles were like they'd caught fire, crazily roasting his oral cavity, simply about to break through his physiological limit.
He considered himself already quite able to eat spicy, originally thought this Fried Noodles' spiciness at most would be about the same as the Turkey Noodles he often eats, but reality gave him a heavy blow right away.
Yellow Hair forcibly endured the burning sensation in his mouth and began slowly chewing.
The next second, the Fried Noodles' own flavor, mixed with delicious meat shreds, began continuously stimulating his taste buds, making him for a moment seem to forget the spiciness in his mouth.
Hiss! These Fried Noodles although spicy, the taste is really great!
Chewy Fried Noodles carried a faint Wheat Fragrance, mixed with saliva revealing a trace of sweetness not easily detected.
Meat shreds chewing had no dry feeling at all; with the teeth's chewing, Meat Juice burst out, tender to the point simply unbelievable.
But the next second, the spiciness somewhat forgotten by the brain followed closely, as if reminding Yellow Hair: Bro, did you forget me?
The enjoyment expression on Yellow Hair's face lasted less than a second, immediately replaced by a pained mask.
Every chew, spiciness and deliciousness alternated back and forth in his oral cavity, Yellow Hair's facial expression also switching back and forth between pain and enjoyment.
So spicy... so delicious... so spicy... so fragrant!
"Third Brother, are your noodles spicy?" Xiao Fei to the side watching Yellow Hair's rich expressions couldn't help asking.
Yellow Hair took a mouthful of noodles, his expression twisting from the spice, and was just about to take a few gulps to cool his mouth when he heard Xiao Fei's question, immediately putting on an air of indifference.
"What's so spicy about a single portion of Fried Noodles? I don't feel it at all, not at all!"
As he spoke, he used his Chopsticks to pick up another large clump of Fried Noodles and Placed Into his mouth, enduring the soul-piercing spiciness in his mouth while stubbornly saying, "See, not spicy at all! To be honest, this level of spice, I could rub it directly on my eyes."
Stars instantly appeared in Xiao Fei's eyes, and pointing at the diner beside him, he said admiringly, "Third Brother, you're awesome, look at those few over there, they're crying from the spice!"
Those few diners who had chosen the Explosive Spicy Flavor like Yellow Hair were now gritting their teeth, eating while gulping nonstop.
"Damn! Lu Boss's spice level is something else!"
"Although it's spicy, this Taste/Flavor really makes you unable to stop!"
"I'm convinced! How can these noodles bite people?"
"Not only do they bite people, they shock you too! My mouth is numb from eating!"
"These noodles are so spicy, why do I still Want Eat? I'm starting to Doubtful if I have masochistic tendencies."
Yellow Hair turned his head to glance at those few diners, and while at it secretly wiped the fine sweat that had Steam-ed on his forehead, then turned back and forced himself to tell Xiao Fei: "It only proves they're too weak, don't use their limit to Challenge my entry level, okay? I feel these Fried Noodles, I can eat Three Portions in one breath!"
