Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
With lightning speed, the instant noodles in Cui Muzhi’s hand landed in Cui Shiji’s hand. Cui Shiji took a big gulp and drank a few more mouthfuls of soup before he could give any words of praise.
Cui Muzhi wanted to say, “Let me have a bite too. After all, it’s my instant noodles.” Cui Shiji picked up the bowl again and took a big gulp. He gulped down a few more mouthfuls of soup.
He ate happily and had no intention of giving his son a bite.
Cui Muzhi watched helplessly as his father finished all the instant noodles and looked like he had not had enough.
He quickly sneaked to the side, wanting to hide the remaining instant noodles.
Cui Shiji seemed to have grown on him. Cui Muzhi had just taken two steps when he was caught. Cui Shiji’s eyes followed Cui Muzhi’s flustered gaze and he immediately grabbed an oil paper bag on the table.
Cui Muzhi instinctively blocked him and he smiled bitterly. “Father, after eating, you should go to the courtyard for a walk to digest your food. It’s good for your health. ”
Cui Shiji had not eaten enough. If he wanted to digest his food, he had to eat his fill before going.
He walked straight towards Cui Muzhi and brushed past him. He successfully obtained the noodle bag and found the seasoning bag on the table. His entire body suddenly seemed to be glowing for a second time, and his face was flushed.
Cui Muzhi said in pain, “Father, you’re already full!”
Cui Shiji glared at him. “I haven’t haggled with you for stealing and monopolizing the food! Your mother hasn’t even tasted such a good thing.
Shouldn’t I take it away?”
How could Cui Muzhi dare to say that he shouldn’t? He only said, “Father, I was wrong. At least leave five for me.”
Cui Shiji had already eaten one of the ten flatbreads. There were only nine left. If he gave Cui Muzhi a few more, there would be only a few left.
Cui Shiji pulled a long face and said solemnly, “You have to be punished for your mistakes! Yet you want five of them! Copy the scripture for me ten times in the room!”
Cui Shiji left with the instant noodles. Cui Muzhi stood where he was and wailed. The instant noodles were completely gone. It was already bad enough, but he still had to copy the scriptures ten times. How pitiful was he? Boohoo— The unique way of eating instant noodles, the rich fragrance of the noodles, and the unforgettable taste quickly caused a sensation in Youjia Village.
Everyone wanted to know what kind of noodles could be so fragrant that everyone would stand in front of someone else’s courtyard and sniff hard.
Bai Wutong did not expect everyone to like instant noodles so much, so she drew a blueprint and handed it to Zhao Sheng.
Sheng Huaixuan also drafted a new contract to discuss a business collaboration with Bai Wutong as he intended to enter the instant noodles market.
Although instant noodles were easy to replicate, it was always difficult to surpass Bai Wutong’s formula.
Sheng Huaixuan believed that soon, the entire Ling Kingdom would know the name of the instant noodles!
Yang Quanzi was secretly eating noodles in the academy. The smell almost made the students’ noses rot away from the fragrance. Just their saliva could
fill a vat.
When Lin Lei returned to Lintian Village after school, even though he had a reserved personality, he could not help but fantasize about the tempting taste of instant noodles. “Madam Bai’s noodles are the best in the world! If only I could eat them too. ‘
Before the other children could speak, Lin Cheng said disdainfully, “It’s just a bowl of noodles. How can it be as delicious as meat? No one will believe you even if you brag!”
Lin Cheng had quit school from Mingsheng Academy, but he could not enter Qinghe Academy to study. He was clearly Elder Lin’s favorite grandson, but because he could not enter Qinghe Academy, Lin Lei took the opportunity to snatch away his grandfather’s love. He hated Lin Lei to death, would cause trouble for him at home, and he did not show any respect to Lin Lei, his cousin, outside.
Lin Lei had a good temper and didn’t argue with him. “That’s because you’ve never seen it before!”
However, Lin Cheng thought that he was showing off that he had entered Qinghe Academy. He scolded angrily, “l don’t care about lousy noodles for dogs!”
Lin Lei’s face suddenly turned pale. Lin Cheng had scolded everyone who had eaten noodles. How could he be so overboard!
When the surrounding women heard this, they chimed in, “That’s right. Lin
Cheng is right. It’s just a bowl of noodles. You scholars are so ignorant.”
“That Madam Bai isn’t some fairy who has descended to the mortal world. Can one become an immortal after eating that bowl of noodles?”
Tao Yinzhen stood among this group of women and sneered.
Bai Wutong really thought that everyone would support her!
Lin Lei clenched his fists and opened his mouth to refute. That was not the case. It was one thing for instant noodles to be delicious, but it was also full of value. It could make scholars feel at home.
“Bang—”
The arrogant Lin Cheng fell to the ground and let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.
Little Cat stepped on Lin Cheng’s shoulder and raised his fist high. His gaze was terrifying. “Say that again if you have the guts!”
There was a gloomy aura on Little Cat, making Lin Cheng remember what
Madam Chen had shouted when she was dragged away by the officials. “He poisoned me! It wasn’t me! It really wasn’t me!’
At that time, no one believed him. At this moment, Lin Cheng met Little Cat’s terrifying gaze and shivered. He actually agreed slightly.
Lin Cheng trembled and hugged his head, not daring to look into Little Cat’s bottomless eyes again.
Little Cat glanced at Tao Yinzhen. His black eyes were as unpredictable as an abyss. Tao Yinzhen felt as though a basin of ice water had been poured from her head to toe. Her son was definitely possessed by a ghost!
She was going to find an even more powerful sorceress! She was going to get her sensible and obedient son back!
Tao Yinzhen staggered away.
When everyone came back to their senses, Elder Lin had already appeared in front of Little Cat.
He said angrily, “Why are you bullying my Lin Cheng!’
In the past, he would have used the position of an elder to deal with Little Cat. But now, Little Cat had a close relationship with Youjia Village, so he had no choice but to endure this.
Little Cat looked at Elder Lin neither humbly nor arrogantly. “You can ask him what he said.’
Elder Lin naturally knew his grandson’s personality. The other party was clearly just a child, but his aura immediately weakened.
Elder Lin said, “No matter what he said, you shouldn’t have hit him. To think that you’re still a scholar now. Don’t you understand the principle of a gentleman using his words but not his fists?”
Little Cat snorted. “I’m not a gentleman.”
His smile was creepy.
However, Elder Lin did not think too much about it. After all, it would be strange if he was normal with such a perverted father.
Just as he was about to ask Little Cat to apologize to Lin Cheng, Lin Lei tugged at Elder Lin’s sleeve. “Grandpa, it has nothing to do with Little Cat.”
Elder Lin looked puzzled. Lin Lei pulled Elder Lin’s waist and muttered a few words.
Elder Lin’s expression became uglier and uglier. Lin Cheng actually scolded everyone dogs. If there were young masters from the officials’ families who ate Bai Wutong’s instant noodles, he would have offended them. Then, wouldn’t the entire family suffer with Lin Cheng?!
Elder Lin couldn’t care less about Little Cat. He grabbed Lin Cheng’s ear and quickly walked home!
This little brat must be taught a lesson that day.
Lin Lei wanted to say something to Little Cat, but when he turned around, he had already disappeared..
