Chapter 20: Explosive food, instant noodles and steamed buns!
"Haha, it would be great if you were the boss of Excellent Era."

Duan Yu's words made Ye Xiu laugh, but there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Even Duan Yu, an outsider, understands this truth, but unfortunately Tao Xuan doesn't!
Ever since Tao Xuan decided to bring in Sun Xiang to replace him, he has been extremely disappointed with Tao Xuan.

Even though he never looked for Tao Xuan and never blamed Tao Xuan, it didn't mean he wasn't disappointed or desperate.

Excellent Era, that was the club team to which he had devoted eight years of his youth. Excellent Era had fond memories of him fighting side by side with his teammates and various honorary trophies.

One Autumn Leaf is an account he created together with his close friend Su Muqiu. It is a glorious account that he has nurtured for ten years and a child that he has poured ten years of hard work into.

However, these glories that accompanied him throughout his youth no longer belonged to him.

Faced with such a heavy blow, even the strongest person would feel sad and upset.

It's just that after so many years of tough life, he has a strong heart, so he looks fine on the surface.

At this time, Duan Yu's voice sounded again: "Are you still planning to make a comeback?"

Ye Xiu turned his head to look at Duan Yu and forced a smile: "I plan to make a comeback in a year."

"What are your plans?" Duan Yu asked.

"First, train your account, then find a group of people and form a team!"

"Should we go through the application process or play the challenge?"

Ye Xiu smiled slightly: "See if there is any boss to inject money. If there is no money, we can only participate in the challenge match."

Duan Yu nodded: "In terms of finding people, do you have any goals?"

"Not yet, but I found one today."

Ye Xiu looked straight at Duan Yu.

Duan Yu touched his face and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? I know I'm handsome, but I only like beautiful girls and have no interest in handsome guys."

Ye Xiu just smiled.

Duan Yu finally reacted: "Uh, you said you found one, you're not talking about me, are you?"

"Yes, you have great talent. Do you want to become a professional player and add some excitement to the current Glory with me?" Ye Xiu asked.

Duan Yu laughed: "Your confession was too sudden. I can't accept it. I'm a slow-moving person. Let me think about it and then reply to you."

Ye Xiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Duan Yu's funny way of speaking.

What a spoiled character!
It’s great to have such a personality, lively and cheerful, who doesn’t take any worries to heart.

"It's already three o'clock in the morning. Are you hungry?" Duan Yu suddenly asked.

"A little bit." Ye Xiu nodded.

In fact, my stomach started growling at one o'clock.

"I've prepared something delicious, do you want to eat it?"

"What good stuff?" Ye Xiu was curious.

"this."

Duan Yu took out two buckets of White Elephant brand pickled cabbage and beef noodles from under the table.

“Isn’t it just instant noodles?”

"and this."

Duan Yu then took out a white bag which contained two big white steamed buns.

"White flour buns?" Ye Xiu was stunned. This thing is really good at filling the stomach.

"That's right, but you only saw steamed buns and instant noodles, while I saw a delicious dish." Duan Yu looked unfathomable.

"What kind of delicacies are steamed buns and instant noodles?"

Ye Xiu also smiled: "But when you are extremely hungry, even compressed biscuits can become a delicacy."

Duan Yu looked disdainful and said, "I can tell from the looks of it that you've never eaten this before. This is a delicacy that I've spent twenty years developing. I'll give it to you today so you can have a taste of it."

"Okay, if it tastes good, I'll trade it with you for a cigarette." Ye Xiu said.

Duan Yu was stunned: "You are really generous."

"On the night shift, this is a delicacy, isn't it?"

Ye Xiu showed off his shriveled cigarette box, with only a few cigarettes left in it.

"I can't refute it."

"Okay, start your performance."

Duan Yu had already boiled the water. He called Ye Xiu over, not only to reveal his identity, but also to invite Ye Xiu to come over for food.

I stayed up all night without eating, and my stomach was growling. I felt very uncomfortable all night.

Soon, Duan Yu prepared two buckets of instant noodles, then took out the steamed buns and started tearing them into pieces the size of a fingernail. "What are you doing?" Ye Xiu asked in confusion.

"Don't ask, just hiss together."

Ye Xiu could only join in the fight.

"Do you know how long to soak instant noodles to get the best taste?" Duan Yu asked.

Ye Xiu thought for a moment: "Five minutes?"

Duan Yu shook his head: "It's easy to tell that he doesn't eat it often. The best time is three minutes and thirty-three seconds."

Ye Xiu smiled: "It's just making some noodles, there's no need to be so precise, right?"

"With the same ingredients, others can make delicious food, but you can only make food. The difference is often in the details." Duan Yu is like a gourmet master.

"You also study food?" Ye Xiu was a little surprised.

"If the technology of this bucket of instant noodles is counted, then it should be." Duan Yu said.

“Haha, you’re such an interesting person. If I had known you a year or two earlier, maybe I wouldn’t be in this state now.” Ye Xiu laughed and almost scattered cigarette ash on the steamed bun.

"Every encounter is just right."

Ye Xiu rolled his eyes secretly.

You look much younger than me, and you're pretending to be a life mentor in front of me?
After a while, Ye Xiu finished tearing the buns: "Okay, now that I've finished tearing the buns, what should I do next?"

"Throw it in." Duan Yu said.

“Throw the steamed buns into the instant noodles?”

Ye Xiu was stunned for a moment: "Can I eat that?"

"Of course, it will be delicious."

Duan Yu gave him an affirmative look.

"But you need to control the timing and time of throwing it in."

“How to control it?”

"After three minutes, open the lid, throw the steamed bun crumbs in, then cover the lid and wait for 30 seconds, then you can eat."

"At that time, the steamed buns just absorbed the spicy flavor of the noodle soup, but were not soaked by the hot water, and still retained their original chewiness. So when you eat it, the delicious soup will automatically flow down your throat while you chew the steamed buns. You will definitely love that feeling."

Ye Xiu swallowed and said, "I'm drooling just from talking about this."

Duan Yu looked at the time and said, "Time's up, throw the steamed bun pieces!"

Duan Yu shouted and poured the torn pieces of steamed buns into the instant noodle bucket.

Ye Xiu followed suit, then covered the pot with a lid, counted for 30 seconds, opened the pot, and started eating.

"Take the first bite of vermicelli first. Try it and see how it tastes."

Ye Xiu tentatively scooped up a few crumbs of steamed bun and put them into his mouth, then chewed them gently. Suddenly, a rich soup burst out from the crumbs.

Sour, spicy and sweet!

"It's not tasty!" Ye Xiu stammered.

"Is it delicious?" Duan Yu smiled.

Ye Xiu nodded vigorously: "Yeah, the moment I took a bite, the instant noodle soup flowed into my mouth along with the slippery and elastic steamed bun crumbs. That feeling was amazing!"

"I've eaten a lot of instant noodles, but I've never heard of this way of eating them. You're such a genius. How did you come up with this?"

"When you have been eating instant noodles for a few months and you have tried every way to make them taste fresh, you will be able to figure it out."

Duan Yu smiled slightly and said, "You little brat, I'm just boiling this instant noodle bun, but can't it take you out when you're starving?"
"It seems like you also have a sad past?" Ye Xiu asked with emotion.

"Don't mention the past anymore. Life has been full of ups and downs. The future is what we need to explore. Look forward and look into the distance, and you will find that there are many beautiful things waiting for us there." Duan Yu once again transformed into a master.

"How old are you? Why do you seem like a life coach?"

Ye Xiu looked at Duan Yu curiously. He felt very strange because Duan Yu had been guiding him all night.

"I'll be 20 in three months."

"You're only 19. You've realized so much at such a young age. It's hard for you."

"I have a lot of experience, so I have a lot of insights." Duan Yu smiled slightly.

He has lived two lifetimes as a human being, so how could he not have many insights?
"Let's finish eating quickly and then go to the wild to level up."

"can."

　There was a power outage today. The power just came back on and the author just had some instant noodles to eat. He stayed up all night writing.
