The NO.1 Food Stall in the Wasteland novel Chapter 325

Chapter 325: Chapter 325: You’re so despicable and vile

This was a blatant attempt by Shen Lan to put her down.

Shen Lu let out a soft laugh and glanced at the contents of Shen Lan’s box. There were four pastries—two savory crab pastries and two jujube paste cakes.

Visually, they looked decent enough, even quite presentable.

As for the taste, however, that was anyone’s guess.

However, Shen Lu couldn’t find anything in the original owner’s memories about Shen Lan knowing how to cook. She did, however, recall Shen Lan once boasting that only the lower class ever set foot in a kitchen.

Shen Lu guessed that Shen Lan had probably bought the pastries.

Li Zexing shot Shen Lan a meaningful glance, but he didn’t nod or shake his head.

Shen Lu placed the food box she’d brought on the small coffee table and undid the clasps.

The moment she lifted the lid, an intoxicating aroma exploded outwards, immediately grabbing the attention of everyone nearby.

"It smells so good!"

"Who brought this? It smells amazing! Do they have a death wish?"

"We’re done for, we’re done for. The director is definitely going to start yelling. Weren’t we told not to eat anything with a strong smell on set?"

"But it really does smell incredible..."

Li Zexing was stunned for a few seconds. By the time he came to his senses, he was already chewing on a duck foot that Shen Lu had brought.

The duck feet weren’t cooked until they were mushy, but they had reached fall-off-the-bone tenderness. He could strip the meat away with his teeth without much effort.

Delicious. This was so, so delicious!

It was as if a tiny version of himself existed in his mind, flapping little wings and flying around joyfully, clutching a duck foot.

It wasn’t the first time he’d eaten Shen Lu’s cooking, but the flavor of the braised snacks she brought today was so incredible he just couldn’t stop eating.

It was no exaggeration to say that this was the best thing he had ever eaten!

Completely overshadowed, Shen Lan stood stunned for a moment before a raging fire of anger ignited in her mind.

She swallowed hard, grabbed Shen Lu’s food box, and tried to smash it on the ground.

But Li Zexing saw her intention, clamped one hand on the food box, and held it down tight.

"What do you think you’re doing?!"

"Ze Xing, she’s trying to harm you!" Shen Lan shrieked. "There’s obviously something wrong with this food! Who knows what she put in it to make it smell like that!"

Shen Lan was absolutely unwilling to admit that she was no match for Shen Lu.

After all, she had studied under the Kitchen King and used only high-quality ingredients from the Upper City District. She had practiced making these two dishes, the savory crab pastries and the jujube paste cakes, for four or five days. She’d even had her family try them, and they had all given her their praise.

There might be a slight gap between her pastries and those made by the Kitchen King, but they should have absolutely crushed anything Shen Lu could make.

And yet, Shen Lu had merely opened her box, and Li Zexing had chosen her without a second thought, not even glancing at the pastries Shen Lan had made.

If there wasn’t something suspicious going on, she’d chop off her own head and use it as a stool.

"Miss Shen, have you not learned your lesson yet?" Shen Lu sneered. "Or does Miss Shen have a doctor’s note that gives her a free pass to say whatever she wants?"

"Am I talking nonsense?" Shen Lan glared at Shen Lu resentfully. "Does normal braised food smell like this? Do you take us for idiots?"

"Does Miss Shen speak for everyone?"

"Isn’t it obvious? Has anyone here ever encountered braised food like this? It’s too strange."

"Exactly!" The girl standing beside Shen Lan puffed out her cheeks in support. "I’ve never smelled braised food with an aroma like this! You must have used some kind of illegal seasoning!"

Having said her piece, Pan Junru secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

’Waaah, to be honest, it smells so, so good,’ she thought. ’If I wasn’t trying my absolute best to hold back, I might have tried to snatch the food right from my idol.’

After that moment of craving, Pan Junru hardened her resolve once more.
