  After the website selection match is over, there will be a three-week break.

  Xiaoyu's 'extreme chicken noodle' development has entered its final stage.

  "It's done! Xiao Dao, I think this time's chicken soup is the best! It goes perfectly with our chicken chops!" Little Yu said with a smile after taking a sip of the chicken soup.

  "Really? Let me try." Xiao Dao also scooped a spoonful of chicken soup with the ladle and put it in his mouth.

  After a while, Xiao Dao's face lit up with excitement. "Not bad! If we use this chicken soup as the broth and pair it with our signature crispy fried chicken, that would truly be 'extreme chicken noodle'!"

  "It's done! We've finally succeeded in our research, Xiao Dao, thank you!" Little Yu looked at Xiao Dao with joy.

  "Hey, Xiao Yu, why are we speaking two different languages in one family? Who's with whom here! What's the thanks for?" A smile also appeared on Xiaodao's lips.

  At this time, Tao Hong suddenly rushed into the kitchen in a fluster, "Xiao Yu, something's wrong! Two people have come outside and they seem to be looking for trouble. They're shouting loudly in the store and several customers have been scared away."

  "Little Hong, don't worry, I'll go out and take a look."

  Xiao Yu followed Tao Hong out of the kitchen and into the main hall.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, there were two middle-aged men sitting at a table in the center of the hall, cursing and swearing loudly. The other customers didn't dare to get close to them.

  Xiao Yu took a look at these two middle-aged people and found that their appearance was very unfamiliar. He had never seen them before.

  Judging from their attire, they didn't look like Xiao Hei and his kind, who dressed in a way that screamed "hooligan" for fear of being mistaken. Instead, they wore jackets and trousers, looking neat and tidy without any eye-catching features.

  "Little Rainbow, why are they scolding people?" Little Yu didn't immediately go up, but instead asked Tao Hong the reason.

  Tao Hong said with a bitter smile, "They say that a dead fly was found in our chili noodles. Xiao Yu, isn't this just extortion? It's winter now, where would flies come from?"

  Xiao Yu's lips curled up with a cold smile as he continued to ask, "What about that fly?"

  "They put it on their table and said we had to compensate them 10,000 yuan, otherwise they would call the police."

  Xiao Yu knew that he had encountered a scammer specializing in deceiving restaurants. After some consideration, he came up with a plan and walked towards the two of them.

  "What's going on with you two, why so angry?" Little Yu's face was calm and gentle, without revealing any hint of his true thoughts.

  One of the two men, a middle-aged man wearing glasses, gave Xiaoyu a white eye and said, "Who is it?"

  "I'm the manager of this store, we have something to discuss." Xiaoyu sat down at the table for two, with a calm and composed demeanor.

  "Manager? Is that the manager?" Another bald-headed man couldn't believe it, this young man who looked like a student was actually the manager of this store.

  "It's guaranteed genuine." Xiaoyu said confidently.

  The two swindlers exchanged a glance, silently communicating with each other. They had seen nearly a hundred managers before, but this was the first time they saw one so young.

  Never mind! As long as I can get the money, it's all right!

  The man wearing glasses adjusted his glasses and said, "If it's the manager, then it's easy to handle. We came here to eat noodles and actually found a fly in our noodle bowl, what can we do about it?"

  After finishing speaking, he pointed at the fly on the table for Xiaoyu.

  Xiao Yu took a look and indeed it was a dead black fly, which must have been deliberately brought in by these two people.

  The bald man said, "We also understand that your business is difficult. How about this? Compensate us with 10,000 yuan for medical expenses and let us see a doctor. This matter will be settled once and for all. Otherwise, we'll have to sue you, and this store must close down."

  "It's just that I think this store is doing pretty well, and with this amount of money, it'll be earned back in two or three days. It's not worth ruining the business over such a small matter, right?"

  These two are obviously old partners, one singing and one harmonizing, working together extremely smoothly.

  Watching these two performing, Xiao Yu's mouth was hanging with a cold smile, "Oh, is that so? What you said isn't unreasonable either. This ten thousand yuan I can still afford to pay."

  Two people heard the sound of the door and immediately echoed in unison, "Right, we are civilized people, of course, we will talk reason."

  As expected, this young and inexperienced manager was scared into immediate agreement, and I couldn't help but feel a thrill of excitement.

  Xiao Yu's eyebrows suddenly furrowed, and he leaned in close to the two of them, saying in a low voice, "I'm fine with it here, but if my older cousin doesn't agree, then we'll be in trouble, because he's the real boss."

  "Older cousin? Who's older cousin? Let's go reason with him! See if he'll listen or not!" The bald-headed man said somewhat discontentedly.

  Xiao Yu's face showed some difficulty, and he intentionally looked around, discovering that other customers were hiding far away, not daring to eat noodles nearby. It seemed no one had heard the conversation between the three, so he whispered to the two of them, "My cousin is Long Fei from the 'Black Dragon Association'. You two should know his name since you're familiar with this area, right? Alright, let's wait a bit, I'll give him a call and have him come over to handle things."

  As soon as the two heard Xiaoyu mention 'Heilonghui' and Longfei, their faces turned pale. When they saw Xiaoyu take out his phone from his pocket, the man wearing glasses immediately covered Xiaoyu's hand and said, "This, this young manager, it's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. We didn't know this was Feige's store, so...this is an insult, we really apologize!"

  That bald-headed man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and continued, "Yes, yes, this is a big flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple, a family doesn't recognize another family. We who are in the salvage business, and Fei Ge too, we're all in the same line of work, we should take care of each other."

  Xiao Yu pretended to be shocked, pointing at the dead fly on the table and said to the two of them, "What's this? Are you just going to leave it like that? Isn't that bad? Ah, I think it's better if my brother-in-law comes to deal with it. At least he can apologize and give you a gift."

  When Xiao Yu said this, the two swindlers' bodies shook and almost fell off their chairs. In their hearts, they cried out, "My mother! Let the 'Black Dragon Association's' big brother apologize to us? Have we grown a few more heads? It's just our bad luck today that we've actually cheated at the 'Black Dragon Association's' store. Isn't this looking for trouble?"

  Thinking of the ruthless methods of the "Black Dragon Society" he had heard about, the bald man's throat involuntarily let out a gulp, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He picked up the dead fly with one hand and threw it into his own mouth in one swift motion. Turning to Xiaoyu, he said, "This isn't a dead fly at all, just a piece of scallion flower. We two have poor eyesight, causing trouble for them. I'm really sorry, sorry!"

  Seeing him swallow the dead fly, Xiao Yu couldn't help but feel a wave of nausea. He stood up and said to the two of them, "You've finished eating your fill, right? Consider this meal on me. Come, I'll see you out."

  "Ah, I don't dare, I don't dare." The two of them hastily pulled out the face money and placed it on the table, also standing up at the same time, and walked outside with Xiao Yu.

  Xiao Dao, Da Niu and Lao Zhangtou all listened to Tao Hong's words, watching from a distance as Xiao Yu and the middle-aged man talked. Seeing them both stand up and walk out, they thought that Xiao Yu and the others couldn't come to an agreement, so they went outside to find a quiet place to settle it.

  Xiao Dao's legs were fast, and he rushed over in a few swift steps. Rolling up his sleeves, he said to Xiao Yu, "Boss, I'll take care of this kind of thing. Don't worry, I guarantee they won't know what hit them!"

  The man wearing glasses was sharp-eyed, and at a glance, he saw the tattoo on the wrist of the small knife. His body trembled involuntarily, and in his heart, he secretly thought, "This is definitely the territory of the 'Black Dragon Society', how could an ordinary chef have a tattoo of a dripping blood dagger? It turns out that even the chefs here are fake ones from the underworld!"

  Big Bull rushed over at this time and said to Little Yu, "Boss, let me go, these two goods are as light as a small chick, I can pinch them to death with one hand!"

  The bald-headed man turned pale and almost peed his pants, thinking to himself, could this place still be a branch of the 'Black Dragon Society'?

  Xiao Yu hadn't replied yet when Old Zhang appeared from behind, leaning on his cane.

  The old man learned from Li Dama that last time, Xiaoyu beat those little hooligans so badly that they broke their arms and legs. He was afraid that this time he wouldn't be able to control himself and something big would happen, so he also came to remind him, "Xiaoyu, this time go easy on them, just break their arms and you're done, be careful not to take anyone's life."

  Thud, thud. The two swindlers rolled their eyes and fainted on the spot.

  Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Dao and the three of them couldn't help but burst out laughing, "What are you guys doing here, what's going on?!"

  New Year's Eve

  The Spring Festival is approaching, and the streets are crowded with people, presenting a lively scene.

  At the entrance of 'Tianlin Hot Pot City' in the middle section of Tianlin Road, it was even more crowded with people, blocking the road and making it impossible to pass through.

  The Chinese like to watch lively scenes, and this is indeed true. Moreover, today's 'Tianlin Hot Pot City' has a scene that must be watched.

  What's hot? Tianlin Snack Street Food Competition!

  The Chinese attach great importance to eating, which is world-renowned. Since there's such a competition, how can one not take a look?

  Unfortunately, Tianlin Hot Pot City is not small in size, but it can't accommodate so many people. So, Yang, the boss of Hot Pot City, had no choice but to come up with the stupid idea of selling tickets.

  The ticket price was 50 yuan per piece, and more than 400 tickets were sold out within half an hour. Those who didn't get the tickets could only stand outside the large glass window of HuoGou City and watch the game inside by sticking to the window.

  Of course, the boss of HuoGou City would not intentionally take this money. Mr. Yang said that more than 20,000 yuan from ticket sales will be awarded to the top three winning stores.

  First place - a reward of 10,000 yuan; Second place - a reward of 6,000 yuan; Third place - a reward of 4,000 yuan.

  Actually, none of the store owners lack this amount of money, but for the sake of reputation, it's worth fighting for.

  Xiao Yu and three others, including Xiao Dao and Da Niu, were already in Huo Guo Cheng.

  This time, each store can bring two assistants in addition to the head chef. Xiao Yu brought Xiao Dao and Da Niu along, and also let them see the world and broaden their horizons.

  The decoration of Tianlin Hot Pot City is much better than Xiaoyu's noodle shop. It can be said that on Tianlin Road, no restaurant has a scale and decoration that surpasses this store, which can imagine the strength of Boss Yang.

  Mr. Yang obviously made sufficient preparations for this game, and in order to arrange those ticket-buying guests, he even divided the hot pot city into a competition area and a spectator area, making it convenient for those guests to watch the game.

  In the competition area, many bosses and chefs who have already sat in their shops are chatting with each other. Many familiar bosses are talking to each other, they are all old neighbors, usually competing with each other secretly, but on the surface, they look like one big happy family, calling each other "brother" and "sister" nonstop.

  Xiao Yu is an outsider here, no one comes to talk to him, Xiao Yu is happy to be quiet, and sits down with Xiao Dao and others in a corner, waiting for the game to start.
