The reason why this red oil is special is because it uses a Chinese herb called purple grass.

This herb itself doesn't have a particular taste, but when added during the process of making red oil, it makes the oil exceptionally bright red with a subtle sheen.

Top-quality peppers are de-stemmed and then slowly roasted on low heat, with a slight amount of rapeseed oil added during roasting, just this step alone brings out the aroma of the peppers.

Then the peppers are crushed into small, chopstick-sized pieces.

After heating the rapeseed oil to a sizzle, lower the heat and add Old Jiang, fatty chicken pieces, and a bit of purple grass to the pot for deep frying. Once the oil turns purplish-red, remove the ingredients from the pot.

The purplish-red rapeseed oil is poured into an iron barrel, and sesame seeds are quickly added. Once the oil temperature drops slightly, the crushed peppers are added and stirred evenly.

Red oil made this way tastes very unique.

Chen Mo cooked two pounds of noodles at once, half a pound for himself, and the other pound and a half for He Ziheng's three servings.

First, place chopped sprouts in four bowls, then add a sauce made of sesame paste and fragrant oil, and finally scoop some red oil and soy sauce, along with a bit of lard and MSG.

Click... Chen Mo ladled the cooked noodles into the bowls, "Your three servings of noodles!"

Lastly, sprinkle some chopped scallions.

Whoosh!

He Ziheng appeared like a ghost, served and disappeared just as swiftly, and Chen Mo worked hard to mix the noodles evenly.

Dan Dan noodles have no broth, so after mixing, the seasonings are directly coated on the surface of the noodles. Having not eaten noodles since leaving Yu Province for several days, he couldn't wait any longer.

Slurp!

Unlike lamb soup noodles or hand-rolled noodles, once Dan Dan noodles are mixed, they don't remain hot. A big, satisfying mouthful!

On the other side, three bowls of Dan Dan noodles are placed on the table.

Gu Jing soulfully questioned, "There are four of us, why are there only three bowls of noodles?"

He Ziheng was dumbfounded by the question.

Thinking to himself, the elder sister hadn't arrived yet, and even if there were three bowls, her sister explicitly said she wouldn't eat this or that, saying noodles were all carbs and she couldn't eat them. These three bowls were estimated by Ziheng for himself with two.

Women, before they get married, they mostly side with their own family.

Gu Jing rolled her eyes at He Ziheng and placed three bowls in front of her, her sister, and Liu Yuerong, "If you want to eat, order another one!"

Gu Fang laughed and pushed the noodles forward, "I've been indulgent enough today, can't have the noodles."

Liu Yuerong picked up her chopsticks but put them back down at Gu Fang's words.

The noodles seemed slightly thicker than usual, with a subtle yellow hue giving them a rustic yet textured appearance, wrapped in red and oily shine, with some sprouts, white sesame, and sprinkled scallions.

After a few glances, Liu Yuerong tentatively said, "Xiao Fang, didn't you say during class that while maintaining our figure, we shouldn't completely cut out carbs, but rather eat quality carbs? Otherwise, we'd lose hair and have irregular cycles. We've both not had carbs for a long time, maybe we should make up for it today."

Gu Fang looked at Liu Yuerong in disbelief, stunned for a while before she spoke in shock.

"Makes sense!"

Hearing their conversation, He Ziheng was truly baffled.

No way, sisters, can you deceive yourselves even more? Spoken just to fool yourselves, huh?

And after saying that, you still picked up your chopsticks and started mixing these Dan Dan noodles comfortably?

He Ziheng finally understood a phrase from TV dramas, the more beautiful a woman is, the less you can believe what she says, it's wisdom passed down, women lie more deeply than men.

After all, men only deceive others, women deceive themselves too!

The noodles, mixed evenly, emitted an aroma that made the three girls salivate as if the food they ate earlier wasn't even in their stomachs.

Gu Fang had a habit of eating noodles: winding them repeatedly with chopsticks, taking a large swirl, using her left hand to tuck away some hair, and putting it all in her mouth.

"Mhm..."

As soon as she tasted them, the spicy and savory flavors spread in her mouth, causing her to hum softly, hard to describe this type of spiciness.

It's completely different from the spiciness of twice-cooked pork, boiled beef, or spicy chicken cubes.

This is the kind of... superficially strong spiciness, which one feels immediately upon entry, but it fades quickly, disappearing with gentle chewing.

Once the spiciness disappears, the taste buds immediately focus on the noodles themselves.

Each bite, with its chewy texture paired with salty flavor, increases one's salivation, finishing a mouthful just makes one want to dig in for another, the body feeling satisfied from the carbs.

"Phew..." Liu Yuerong devoured half a bowl in two bites, "That was amazing, it's been ages since I enjoyed noodles this much."

"Mmm!" Gu Fang, her mouth stuffed full, could only hum, unable to articulate a word.

No choice, it was just that delicious!

This bowl of noodles weighed at least five ounces, even at Gu Fang's peak appetite, she could only eat about two.

Unexpectedly, this large bowl of noodles was finished clean in no time.

'What should I do, I want more.'

Gu Fang and Liu Yuerong exchanged glances, both expressing the same sentiment, yet neither willing to voice it first.

As a gym instructor, Gu Fang had already been indulgent today, fortunately, only her people witnessed this scene.

Liu Yuerong carried less burden, being quick-witted, she had an idea, her eyes lit up, "Oh, Xiao Fang, didn't you say earlier we could organize an event?"

"In my view, instead of card and tutorial promotions that are relatively insignificant, what do our sisters come here for? Ultimately, isn't it for those sunny and handsome muscular men?"

Gu Fang nodded, "Yes, but we are a women's club, we can't exactly hire a bunch of male instructors, can we?"

"That's not what I meant." Liu Yuerong grew increasingly excited as she spoke, finding the idea more appealing, "We can organize a member team-building event! The venue at Hanyang, isn't tomorrow's occasion perfect? Hiking, visiting ancient towns, enjoying healthy delicacies!"

Gu Fang's eyes shone brightly.

This was a good idea, combining hiking with health, strolling through beautiful old towns women love to wander, and enjoying healthy delicacies! There's no need to say more, anyone tasting Boss Xiao Chen's dishes would be entranced.

"I think it's doable!" Gu Fang immediately agreed, "It's also good to shift the sisters' focus."

Liu Yuerong immediately pulled out her phone, pondering while drafting the event copy.

As for Chen Mo, he finished a bowl of Dan Dan noodles.

Comfortable!

A Jingzhou person's stomach has to be fed with noodles, three days without and one feels unwell, now it's satisfying.

But...

Chen Mo noticed Lu Yongjun's family worriedly standing at the entrance.

Crunch, crunch...

Though their faces showed worry, their mouths didn't stop munching on beef.

"Could it be, have we miscalculated this time?"

Chen Mo glanced at the four guests at the long table, feeling a sense of powerlessness for the first time.

Could it be that street vending still ultimately depends on foot traffic?

The legendary intoxicating aroma not fearing remote alleys, is it confined to legends only?

Chen Mo sat down, taking a deep breath.

Feeling somewhat anxious.
