Chapter 440: Chapter 166: Of Course, Rice Noodle Rolls Must Be Eaten Fresh

You see... a while back, Zhang Yi started some kind of "intelligence-sharing group" out in the suburbs. Before they could even share any intelligence, Boss Su busted the whole thing.

Zhang Yi had already spent the money he’d put in, so when it came time to cover the losses, he had no choice but to take out an online loan.

And now, he’d come to Fang Chang for help.

"Sigh. Easier said than done. This job is my safety net. I can’t just quit unless I have something else lined up." Speaking of which, Zhang Yi pulled a cigarette from Fang Chang’s pocket and lit it, a melancholic look on his face.

Fang Chang glanced at the cigarette. "I won’t meddle too much in your family’s affairs. But your mother-in-law isn’t a stranger. There’s no need for you to play the big shot just because her family is visiting Jingzhou."

"Sigh." Zhang Yi waved his hand dismissively. "Anyway, I’ve thought it over and over, and only Boss Su’s home-style cooking is good enough and reasonably priced. No matter what, I’m leaving this to you, man! If those girls really do kick your bro out of a third-floor apartment, you, Boss Fang, will lose face too, right?"

Fang Chang shot the big guy an annoyed look. "Alright, alright. I’ll see what I can do."

"So, I’ll be going now?"

"Piss off!"

Zhang Yi brandished the freshly opened pack of cigarettes. "You should smoke less! I’ll help you take care of this pack."

"Just get the hell out of here!"

After Zhang Yi left, Fang Chang leaned back in his chair, wondering what to do about the situation.

But no matter what, he had to see Boss Su first.

Fang Chang went to the supermarket next door and bought several cases of cherries and oranges, then hopped into the shop’s Wuling Hongguang and headed for the Development Zone.

When he got to the parking lot, Fang Chang called Bai Xiaobo. "Get down here and help me carry this stuff!"

"No time!"

"You brat, don’t you want any..."

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.

Fang Chang stared at his phone in disbelief.

’He calls me Boss Fang when we’re staying at a five-star hotel, but now that he’s back home, he just hangs up on me?’

’I’m not giving Bai Xiaobo any of these cherries!’

Muttering darkly, he single-handedly hoisted the heavy cases of fruit and struggled to get them into the elevator. Fang Chang let out a frustrated breath.

"I’m a big boss who makes millions a year, for crying out loud... Why do I have to suffer like this every day! Damn it!"

The elevator stopped on the third floor. Fang Chang smoothed the frustration from his face. "Hello, everyone! Look what I brought for you all!"

’Cherries at seventy-five yuan a pound, top-grade Gannan navel oranges... Boss Su can’t just cook these up, can he?’

He had expected to be welcomed with open arms, but instead, he saw a group of people huddled by the kitchen door. They merely glanced at him before turning their attention back to whatever they were looking at.

"Hey! What’s with everyone today!"

Leaving the fruit by the elevator, Fang Chang strolled over with his hands in his pockets. He had only taken a few steps when he was hit by an incredibly rich aroma!

The smell was unique. He could tell it was meat, but for a moment, he couldn’t identify what kind!

"What’s going on? What are you eating?" Fang Chang craned his neck to look. He saw that all the Delicious employees had a bowl of something brothy in front of them.

At first glance, it looked like vermicelli soup!

But it wasn’t quite like the vermicelli soups he’d had in Jingzhou City.

The vermicelli soups in Jingzhou City generally came in two varieties: shredded chicken or lamb offal. This, however, was neither of those, yet it emitted an exceptionally fragrant aroma.

Besides the vermicelli soup...

Next to their bowls was a plate, and on it was something Fang Chang recognized.

"Rice noodle rolls? Delicious has new items? Since when do they serve rice noodle rolls?"

When he took a closer look—holy cow!—not only were there rice noodle rolls, but in the time it took him to speak, Boss Su emerged with a large basin.

And the intense, meaty aroma was wafting from that very basin!

"Here, deep-fried pork ribs with rice cakes!"

GASP!

Fang Chang raised his hand. "Boss Su! Let me get that! I’ll help you carry it!"

He snatched the large basin from Su Chen’s hands and took a deep, greedy sniff. "Smells incredible! Why the pork ribs and rice cakes? Is today a special occasion?"

As he spoke, Fang Chang had already placed the basin on the table and proactively helped himself to a bowl and chopsticks from the sterilizer cabinet nearby, making Su Chen shake his head.

"Boss Fang, you’ve got a hell of a nose. You can smell it from a mile away?"

"Hehe! Better to be lucky than early, and it looks like I timed this just right. What’s the occasion? Why so many good eats?"

Su Chen wiped his hands clean. "I got an order specifically requesting all sorts of snacks—three different kinds a day. So I’m making them."

"Tsk! Snacks are the best! Delicious and affordable. Especially these. You can’t get proper rice noodle rolls unless you go to Guangzhou. Let me try some."

Without a hint of politeness, Fang Chang grabbed Su Chen’s portion of rice noodle rolls and shoveled some into his mouth. "SLURP SLURP~"

"Delicious! This is incredible! Boss Su, these rice noodle rolls are absolutely incredible! When are you going to start selling them? I’ll be the first in line!"

The rice noodle rolls were pristine white, with a soft and chewy texture. The moment they entered his mouth, he could feel their delicate smoothness, and they even left a hint of sweet aftertaste upon swallowing.

Even more amazing, he had no idea how the diced beef wrapped inside was prepared. It was unbelievably tender, and with every chew, the juices seemed to burst in his mouth. Paired with the light soy sauce, it created a magnificent Maillard reaction on his palate!

So good!

There wasn’t much in one portion of rice noodle rolls, and Fang Chang polished it off in just a few bites.

He then started eying the bowl of duck blood and vermicelli soup in front of Su Chen.

Seeing Fang Chang like this, Su Chen didn’t stop him. As the biggest sponsor for Delicious’s recent trip abroad, how could he deny the man a little food?
