Gourmet: From a Stall in Northern Europe-Chapter 171 - 135: Are You Guys Crazy? Getting Up at 5 a.m. for Breakfast

"Alright, one serving of rice noodles~"

Lin Chen cheerfully grabbed a handful of rice noodles, roughly estimating the amount with his eyes and tossed them into the pot to heat.

"Slurp——"

The man didn't start with the seafood but slurped on the noodles first.

Being someone who loves noodle dishes, he knew all too well that this kind of noodle soup had to be eaten quickly, or the texture would deteriorate once it became too soggy.

The smooth and firm noodles still had a bit of chewiness, but since they were so thin, there was no need to chew for long. The mouth was filled with the fresh taste of the fish soup and the spicy flavor of black pepper.

On the seaside morning, facing the slowly rising sun, a cool sea breeze brushing against him, eating such a bowl of hot and spicy fish soup noodles, he couldn't help but squint his eyes, feeling that life was so happy and easy.

"This trip wasn't in vain, dear, I bet there's no restaurant nearby that can serve a Marseille Fish Soup as good as this Great Xia Fish Soup!"

"I think the same, I thought the one we had yesterday was good, but now it seems just okay, and it was so expensive. Should have saved the money."

"It's not exactly like that, dear. Without tasting the average Marseille Fish Soup, how could we understand just how delicious this one really is."

"You're right, dear~"

"Do you want some more seafood? I remember this salmon belly is your favorite, all for you~"

"No need, I'm very full, you have it~"

The two of them snuggled shoulder to shoulder by the table, the woman resting her chin in her hands, watching her boyfriend gulp down noodles lovingly with clear affection in her eyes.

"Hey, mind if I take a leak in your river of love?"

Lin Chen couldn't help but say.

"Hmm? Boss, what did you just say? Doesn't seem to be French, are you talking to us?"

"Oh, sorry, occupational habit, forgot to switch languages. I meant to say, your noodles are ready."

In the hotel room.

Jiang Shuqi woke up from being pressed to pee, groggily holding onto the wall as she went into the bathroom to sit down.

"Damn it, all because of Lin Chen, what business did he have making midnight snacks, and side dishes with rice at that, got me drinking two bottles of water when I got back. Could've slept till ten."

"What time is it now... not even six??"

"Eh?"

Speaking of food, she suddenly remembered that guy seemed to say he was going to make breakfast today.

If she went back to sleep, she couldn't guarantee what time she'd wake up again.

Based on the principle of being up already, she decided to go check the balcony.

Her room was spacious, located at a corner, facing not only the vast ocean and golden beaches but also another side that gave a view of the restaurant opposite the hotel entrance and the cliffs further away—truly a prime scenic spot.

"Whoa?"

One glance and she noticed the familiar red food truck at the restaurant entrance.

Although the distance made it a bit blurry, she could clearly see the little table set up in front of the truck with two little black spots sitting by it.

"Has he lost his mind? Who in their right mind sets up breakfast abroad at five in the morning! And someone actually went to eat!!"

"They're all nuts!!!"

She swore as she turned to go back inside, put on a sunshirt, wore a facekini and sunhat, grabbed her phone and room card, slipped into flip-flops, and walked out.

"If it weren't for the lack of decent breakfast around here, I wouldn't come downstairs!"

"Better check it out, if the food isn't good, I'll wring his neck!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Out from the elevator, she instinctively glanced at the front desk.

Sure enough, she saw that familiar silhouette bowing down, obviously eating.

That part-time security guy was there too, unclear if he was chatting or helping to cover.

Hearing the elevator, Gray immediately turned his head, nodded, and smiled in this direction.

"Good morning, madam!"

"Our restaurant's head chef's food truck has already served breakfast, if you need breakfast, you can check it out. Today's menu is the Great Xia version of Marseille Fish Soup with seafood and rice noodles."

Great Xia version of Marseille Fish Soup?

Oh right, remembered!

She patted her head, and memories from last night gradually surfaced.

That guy indeed mentioned making fresh fish mashed soup noodles this morning, earlier her brain hadn't woken up and completely forgot about it.

Thinking about how fresh fish mashed soup noodles are made, she secretly nodded, it really did have a resemblance to Marseille Fish Soup, that guy knew how to ride the trend.

Once this name gets out, these foreign guests will surely want to try it, the acceptance level will definitely be high.

Remembering the sight of his slightly cold-looking food truck back on Amiens Street.

This guy has grown~

"Phooey, not my business, making me miss my morning nap... Selling breakfast at five in the morning, freshly made fish mashed soup noodles, did that kid pull an all-nighter?"

Thinking of this, she felt even more compelled to try it out.

What's done is done, right? Rarely making new friends abroad, have to show some courtesy.

Just a few steps outside, the other elevator went "ding."

Dais pulled Elsa, both still sleepy-eyed, ran straight out, not stopping as they passed her.

Evidently hadn't recognized her.

"Whoa, what's wrong with you both, up so early for breakfast?"

"Eh?"

"Hmm?"

The two girls turned abruptly: "Miss Jiang?"

Though they hadn't understood what she said, they recognized the voice.

"Ahem, I meant, good morning~"

"Miss Jiang is heading for breakfast too, right? Come on, let's go together."

"Alright."

As the trio just left, Elise suddenly lifted her head, repeatedly giving Gray signals with her eyes.

"What are you standing for, didn't you see they're all wearing sun protection? Hurry up and move the sunshade over!"
