Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself-Chapter 916 - 926: This Is the Specialty You Mentioned?

"I say, Young Master Lu and An Ran, it’s better to destroy ten temples than break one marriage. How could the two of you do this?"

Saying this, he nervously glanced at Shen Qi and saw Shen Qi always smiling with lips pressed tightly, then finally calmed down.

In less than a ten-minute ride, the rickshaw stopped in front of an unassuming small eatery. Shen Qi jumped off, paid the fare, and while walking inside, introduced it to the others behind, "Don’t be fooled by this place’s appearance. It’s quite famous locally. They make the best Tuan Tuan noodles here. Oh, and you probably haven’t heard of Tuan Tuan noodles, right? I haven’t seen them in Nan’an either. It’s really our local specialty; you’ll have a taste later."

Once inside, An Ran realized this little shop, which looked unremarkable outside, was bustling inside with almost all seats filled. Shen Qi squeezed into a corner table and beckoned them over.

A waiter came to greet them, and Shen Qi held up four fingers, "Four bowls of Tuan Tuan noodles," then glanced at the others, "Do you eat spicy food? The Tuan Tuan noodles are best enjoyed spicy."

Lu Yi and Zhu Pengfei both said they wanted it spicy. An Ran waved it off, "I’ll pass; I can’t handle spicy food."

"How about just a bit spicy? Without the heat, it just doesn’t do the Tuan Tuan noodles justice," Shen Qi negotiated with An Ran.

Seeing An Ran nod, he ordered three spicy and one mildly spicy bowl of Tuan Tuan noodles.

Once the Tuan Tuan noodles arrived, An Ran finally understood why this was considered a local specialty.

What they called Tuan Tuan noodles was something like rice noodles, though it was brown and soaked in a broth of red oil, looking not particularly appetizing.

Zhu Pengfei smirked, "Wifey, is this what you call a specialty?"

Shen Qi was already stirring the reddish-brown noodles with chopsticks, nodding with bright eyes, "Yes, try it, it’s really good."

Saying this, she took a bite herself, blowing out air as she ate, whether from the spiciness or the heat was unclear.

Zhu Pengfei, half-skeptical, took a bite with his chopsticks.

An Ran tried a bite too, and although it wasn’t as delicious as imagined, it wasn’t as unpalatable as it appeared.

"Wifey, once I marry you, I won’t let you suffer anymore. Whether we stay in Nan’an or go back with me to Zhenjiang, I’ll make sure you have good food and drink, growing you chubby and fair," Zhu Pengfei said as he ate the Tuan Tuan noodles, acting as if Shen Qi had endured great grievances.

"Zhu Pengfei, if you keep calling me that, I won’t speak to you anymore," Shen Qi exclaimed, blushing at Zhu Pengfei’s nickname for her, "I don’t want to go to Zhenjiang with you. If I do, I’ll never have my beloved Tuan Tuan noodles again."

"Qiqi..." Zhu Pengfei called out aggrievedly.

"Burp~ I’m suddenly so full, can’t eat anymore," An Ran said, her bright eyes gazing at the two in front as she paused with a mouthful of Tuan Tuan noodles. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Lu Yi nodded, "Though I won’t admit it, I do taste some dog food here."

After dinner, the street lamps were already lit, and they planned to walk back to their accommodations.

"An Ran, you guys don’t really like Tuan Tuan noodles, do you?" Shen Qi asked while walking, having also noticed earlier that except for herself, the others still had quite a bit left in their bowls, "You know, Tuan Tuan noodles are indeed a specialty here. In the past, when our place was too impoverished, before the new year’s grain came, people would have run out of provisions. With no food left, people made Tuan Tuan noodles from ground spring potatoes to stave off hunger. Of course, nowadays the flavor and production methods of Tuan Tuan noodles have much improved, tasting quite different now."
