Chapter 980 There's something delicious, come quickly
"Are you sure you want to do this? Once I really start, there will be no turning back!"

Bae Joo-hyun looked at Chen Chen nervously, and the scissors in her hand were placed tremblingly on the snail noodle package.

"Let's get started." Chen Chen's expression was serious, as if he had made up his mind: "I don't want this today, eat!"

Things immediately became easier after the two of them agreed. They just had to follow the instructions on the package and cook. If that didn't work, the chef Chen Chen could remedy the situation.

"Why do you think snail noodles smell bad?"

Bae Joo-hyun stared at the unpacked ingredients next to the pot in a daze, and asked Chen Chen a question.

"In fact, authentic river snails rice noodle is not smelly, but it became popular on the Chinese Internet because of the word 'stinky'." Because it was quite interesting, Chen Chen briefly explained it to her, "Then there is nothing we can do. Since it is so smelly, we have to seize the opportunity and find a way to monetize the traffic."

"Explaining to others that authentic food doesn't stink is not as important as taking this opportunity to promote the product! Let's make the money first, and then explain it slowly after we can survive and stabilize the business."

"Therefore, some businesses will deliberately make their products smell worse to highlight their 'authenticity'."

"After all, if you don't stink when everyone says it stinks, then that's not okay. People won't say you're authentic, they'll say you did a bad job."

"In the end, it became like this." Chen Chen spread his hands, "Everyone knows that authentic snail noodles are not smelly, but every instant snail noodle you buy smells very bad."

"Wait a minute, there seems to be a problem here." Pei Zhuxuan looked at Chen Chen and asked curiously: "Since the public has accepted that authentic snail noodles are not smelly, why are these things on the market still smelly? Is it because there is too little time to make adjustments?"

"Because the formula of this stinky food has also been accepted by the public." Chen Chen smiled meaningfully, "No company dares to arbitrarily change a formula that has been accepted by everyone. The risk is almost the same as starting a business from scratch, unless... a company has a prodigal son."

"Oh."

It’s not known whether Bae Joo-hyun understood or not, but she just said “Oh” anyway.

"What do you think about our Alin Canteen also making snail noodles?" Bae Joo-hyun suddenly turned and went to the canteen.

"Not very good, I ruled it out first." Chen Chen shook his head repeatedly, "Once it attacks, the other food in the store will be in trouble, and it will also affect the customers eating in."

"Why would it be in trouble? Isn't the authentic one not smelly?" Pei Zhuxuan pouted, "You are not contradicting yourself, are you?"

"Yes, it doesn't stink, but where is the person who can make authentic snail noodles, lives in South Korea, and is willing to work for me?" Chen Chen grabbed his girlfriend's shoulders and shook her repeatedly, "Wake up, that kind of person can start a business anywhere rather than in South Korea!"

"That's right, hahahaha." Pei Zhuxuan laughed as if she suddenly realized something, "You Chen Chen are not the center of the world, it's impossible for everything to go your way!"

"You woman." Chen Chen pretended to be angry. "It was obviously your own idea, but in the end you blamed me. How unreasonable."

"Okay~ Let's get ready for dinner." Pei Zhuxuan acted like a spoiled child and pushed Chen Chen to go out. "I'll get this thing out of the pot, and you prepare the table."

"..."

The doors and windows are closed tightly and the dining table is ready.

The two men sat down at the dining table fully armed, one of them holding a small bowl in his hand and looking worriedly at the pot in front of him.

“Did you do too much?”

Chen Chen took a deep breath and asked.

Bae Joo-hyun's appetite is not even half of that of a human being, so it's definitely too much.

"I really didn't expect that it would become more while cooking." Pei Zhuxuan handed the problem to Chen Chen, "What should we do? How should we solve it?"

"Call someone!" Chen Chen made a prompt decision. "It will take five minutes to call someone. Is there anyone in the dormitory?!"

"Seulgi!" Bae Joo Hyun didn't think twice, "She will definitely come if I ask her to. There are delicious foods here!" "But..." Bae Joo Hyun hesitated for a moment before calling, "Today should be Seulgi's bread time. She said so herself."

"No matter what, let's contact her first!" Chen Chen dialed the number for her. "If she refuses, we can call someone else. Anyway, our fans can't stand hesitation, so let's take action first!"

"Hello~JooHyun-unnie?"

Kang Seul-gi's voice came from the phone.

"Are you free now, Shiqi?" Chen Chen spoke directly.

"Ah, it's Chen Oppa." Seulgi recognized Chen Chen's voice and quickly replied, "I'm free. I don't have any fixed plans today except for practice."

"Come to my house quickly!" Chen Chen's voice was very anxious, "Your Joohyun and I have prepared delicious food for you. If you come too late, it will go bad!"

"I'll be there soon!"

Jiang Seqi never disappoints. After a ring, she hung up the phone.

Five minutes later, Jiang Seqi rang the doorbell, panting.

"How is it. Huh. Am I not late?!" Jiang Seqi was put into the house by Chen Chen. After laughing twice, she immediately smelled something and was shocked. "Oppa, what's that smell in the house?!"

"It's a rather special food." Chen Chen pulled her to sit down. "When your Joohyun and I made it, I suddenly thought of you. Let's share it together. It's delicious."

"It's something like stinky tofu, it smells bad but tastes good." Jiang Seulgi stood up again just after sitting down, "I'm going to wash my hands first, I'll be back soon!"

"..."

When Seqi went to the bathroom, Chen Chen and the others prepared dishes and chopsticks for her so that she could start eating directly after she came back without any delay.

"I think this is the first time I've seen Seulgi without makeup. She looks a lot younger than she did in front of the camera. Has she always been like this?"

Chen Chen also took the time to chat with Pei Zhuxuan.

"Well, Seulgi has great skin, and she has single eyelids, so she looks even younger without makeup." Bae Joo Hyun said with a hint of envy, "And her eating reactions rarely show up on her skin, so we all hope to be like her."

"It's okay. Everyone has their own unique advantages." Chen Chen heard some noise behind him and quickly separated from his girlfriend. "Okay, let's eat!"

……

The amount of food in this small pot was enough for three people to eat. They finished it all in no time and all three of them were sweating.

"As expected of idols, the two of you together can barely be considered half of one person." Chen Chen smacked his lips and commented on the two of them, "You are so harsh on yourself when your comeback period is almost here. You can't gain weight in one meal."

"An artist's self-discipline is hidden in these small details." Bae Joo-hyun lifted her clothes to reveal a part of her white belly, "But I'm really full, I feel like my belly will swell after I put on the powder."

Chen Chen tilted his head and glanced at it without commenting.

"Is Seulgi going to participate in the idol chicken-eating contest?" Chen Chen thought of this and asked casually, "I heard that your two youngest members are clamoring to participate."

"They secretly signed me up for the event." Jiang Seulgi's grievance was obvious, "When I didn't even know about it."
