Chapter 146 Resistance
Every word of their conversation was heard by Yan Zhiyin and the elders in front of him. If Yan Zhiyin really had a tail, it would have been raised high and swaying from side to side by now!
Just as everyone was happily waiting for what was to come, suddenly, a pungent stench overwhelmed the whole place.
"What's going on? Why is it so smelly?" Everyone present covered their mouths and noses tightly, with looks of pain on their faces - the smell was simply too bad!
The four elders, Qi Hengzhi and Long Zhongtian who were standing at the front of the team knew exactly where the stench came from.
All of them looked pale with complicated and indescribable expressions on their faces. Their mouths were slightly open as if they wanted to say something, but in the end they just swallowed hard and chose to remain silent.
Yan Zhiyin looked at the doubtful expressions on their faces and couldn't help but smile helplessly, then said softly:
“Hehehe! Fourth Elder, Sect Leader Qi, and Sect Leader Long, I believe you all understand my strength! The delicious food I prepared for you this week is indeed different from before.
This is called snail noodle, and it is made with special snail soup and carefully pickled sour bamboo shoots as the main ingredients!
Maybe it tastes a little strange or even hard to accept at first, but as long as you try it bravely, you will definitely be able to appreciate its wonderful taste! I promise, this is definitely a delicious dish! "
Although the three of them knew Yan Zhiyin's ability, the pungent smell at this moment made them suspicious, and they couldn't help but think:
Even if she is a great cook, who can guarantee that everything will go smoothly every time? After all, people always make mistakes, and it is normal to make one or two mistakes occasionally.
The fourth elder frowned. Is it too late for him to run away now?
As for the people behind, they planned to wait until the Fourth Elder had eaten before deciding whether to buy or not!
"Really? I never lie. If you don't believe me, you can ask Junior Sister Yue Xin. They all tried this snail noodle yesterday and the day before yesterday! The taste was indescribable!"
In order to convince everyone, Yan Zhiyin brought Li Yuexin out as a witness.
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Li Yuexin and Luo Suyu. After all, they were the only two people present who had tasted this type of snail noodles.
Li Yuexin and Luo Suyu looked at each other and nodded hurriedly, "Yes, at first my junior sister and I were just like you, thinking how could something so smelly be delicious?
But as Sister Zhiyin said, you may be a little resistant to its taste at first, but once you taste it, you will be immediately attracted by its unique flavor. It is really delicious!"
Speaking of this, Li Yuexin's face still revealed an expression of being unsatisfied, as if the bowl of snail noodles was right in front of her.
After hearing their description, the people around them began to waver in their originally skeptical attitude.
"Senior Sister, are you serious?" The disciple from Lingyue Sect pinched his nose and asked Li Yuexin with a suspicious look on his face. He looked extremely funny.
Another senior brother standing nearby couldn't bear to watch it anymore and couldn't help but say, "Are you stupid? Can't you hold your breath? What's the point of just pinching your nose?"
The disciple suddenly realized what was going on when he heard it. He lowered his head and found that he was the only one who was still pinching his nose foolishly. He immediately blushed with shame and quickly put his hands down and held his breath.
Because of this little episode, everyone around was silent for a moment, but soon they all started to chuckle softly. Even Yan Zhiyin couldn't help but smile!
"Of course it's true. I never lie. If you don't like it, I'm willing to return the white crystal to you. Come, Fourth Elder, the twenty bowls of snail noodles you ordered are ready. Please taste them for everyone first!"
Yan Zhiyin took over the conversation with a sly smile on his face, staring at the Fourth Elder with a slightly malicious look.
The fourth elder had a bitter face and could only glare at Yan Zhiyin fiercely. This abominable guy actually teased him like this! How could his old bones withstand such torture! If he had known this earlier, he would never have stupidly charged forward!
Looking at the twenty bowls of foul-smelling snail noodles in front of him, the Fourth Elder had no idea where to start.
Qi Hengzhi, who was ranked second, suddenly felt a little relieved. Looking at the miserable appearance of the Fourth Elder, he actually had a bad taste in his heart and said with a sly smile:
"Fourth Elder, weren't you just talking about wanting to eat this snail noodle? Now the delicious food is right in front of you, why are you still standing there? Enjoy it quickly!"
The people watching the fun around also focused their eyes on the Fourth Elder, as if they were watching a good show.
Qi Hengzhi and Long Zhongtian looked at each other tacitly, secretly thanking their luck that they were not the first people to try it, otherwise they would be the ones who would become the focus of everyone's attention and be watched by everyone!
"I... Alas!" The fourth elder sighed deeply, his heart seemed filled with helplessness and worry.
However, Yan Zhiyin did not back down. She said confidently, "Fourth Elder, please rest assured. If this snail noodle is not delicious, I will return the white crystal to you!"
Under the spotlight of so many people, the fourth elder seemed a little hesitant, but he finally plucked up the courage and decided to bravely try the mysterious bowl of snail noodles.
At this moment, Yan Zhiyin suddenly discovered something was wrong, and she laughed and shouted:
"Oh my, Fourth Elder, you can't do this! How can you feel the true taste of the snail noodles if you hold your breath? And how can you report to the head of the sect whether the snail noodles are delicious or not!"
The fourth elder originally wanted to get away with it while everyone wasn't paying attention, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Yan Zhiyin so quickly.
His face instantly turned awkward, and he didn't know how to respond for a moment. The people around him also cast curious glances, waiting for the fourth elder's evaluation of this bowl of snail noodles.
Under the close surveillance of Yan Zhiyin, Qi Hengzhi and Long Zhongtian, the fourth elder had no choice but to obey and nervously picked up the chopsticks to pick up the bowl of snail noodles.
His eyes were full of vigilance and uneasiness, as if what was in front of him was not a delicacy, but a bomb that could explode at any time.
Finally, the fourth elder plucked up the courage, carefully picked up a vermicelli and put it into his mouth.
After chewing a few times, his expression suddenly became very strange - it seemed like surprise, confusion, but more of it was an indescribable surprise.
However, due to his fear of this unfamiliar food, the Fourth Elder did not make an immediate comment. Instead, after hesitating for a moment, he took another big bite.
This time, he seemed to want to experience this unique delicacy more comprehensively. He not only added sour bamboo shoots, chicken feet, fried eggs and other ingredients, but also put a piece of tender and juicy shrimp into his mouth.
Finally, he picked up the bowl and took a big gulp of the hot, spicy and fragrant soup.
At this moment, there is no need for the Fourth Elder to say more. The intoxicated and unstoppable look on his face is enough to prove that this snail noodle is truly delicious!
