Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Chapter 184: Chu Mo Absolutely Crushed



At 6:15 PM, just as darkness began to fall.

The food street near the University of Science and Technology saw a long convoy of dozens of luxury cars, each worth millions, coming to a halt at the entrance of the street.

The head of the security team, Jiang Tao, had already caught up, and he personally opened the car door for Chu Mo, while the blond young man got out from the other side.

As they stood at the entrance of the food street, from a distance, they could smell an array of enticing aromas wafting through the street.

"Mr. Chu, this must be the real gathering place of Hua Country's cuisine,"

Standing beside Chu Mo was Geng Pan, who was tall at 1.9 meters. He sniffed slightly and then spoke with a look of intoxication on his face.
Your journey continues with empire

"I wonder if Mr. Geng Pan can handle spicy food?"

At this time, the University of Science and Technology had just let out, and as one of the top three premier universities in the metropolis, numerous young scholars were streaming out of its gates.

In groups of three or two or in pairs, they were constantly flocking towards the food street, with Chu Mo and the blond young man stepping foward and walking ahead.

"All squads pay attention, execute the standby plan, everyone be alert, move out,"

With an order from security team leader Jiang Tao, groups of men in black immediately blended into the crowd, monitoring anyone within a hundred meters of Chu Mo and the blond young man for any sign of unusual behavior.

Coming to a chicken wing shop, Chu Mo stopped; there were already people lining up, with at least five or six young men and women, looking like students, waiting in line.

Chu Mo didn't ask his bodyguards to line up to buy for him. Instead, he personally queued at the end of the line.

The blond young man, full of interest and probably queuing for the first time in his life, widened his blue eyes, occasionally exclaiming in surprise.

"Mr. Chu, what is that?"

In front of the porch of the chicken wing shop, many colorful notes left by diners were plastered, and at this moment, Geng Pan was pointing at those notes and asking.

Adjusting the golden glasses on his nose bridge, Chu Mo said casually,

"That's the message board left by diners. Do you see that one? It reads: 'If you like someone, bring them here and treat them to the original flavor; if you hate someone, also bring them here and treat them to double-spicy.'

Hua Country's language and culture are profound, and even though Geng Pan's understanding of Hua language was top-notch, he still found the convoluted text on the notes a bit hard to grasp.

As Geng Pan was earnestly looking at each of the messages on the wall, they didn't have to wait long until it was their turn.

Chu Mo immediately said:

"One of each, original, mild spicy, single-sided spicy, and double-sided spicy."

The middle-aged, greasy-looking uncle in charge of grilling chicken replied without looking up,

"Each customer is limited to two flavors only."

Chu Mo knew the rules here, as he had been with his buddy Li Fei before; this place's chicken wings were famous, drawing many for their reputation, and the two per person limit was not a ploy but because the shop truly couldn't keep up with the demand.

Unperturbed, Chu Mo smiled and said,

"Uncle, I'm not alone. This international friend behind me is with me. This foreign friend wants to taste our Hua Country's cuisine, and I brought him directly to your chicken wing shop as our first stop."

Hearing this, the middle-aged boss, who had been grilling without looking up, raised his head to glance at Chu Mo, and upon seeing Geng Pan standing behind him, over 1.9 meters tall with blond hair and blue eyes, handsome and imposing, he nodded and said with a smile,

"Alright then, one of each, original, mild spicy, single-sided spicy, and double-sided spicy, young man, you've got to warn your friend here that our double-spicy is seriously hot; he'll need to be mentally prepared before trying it."

Chu Mo nodded with a smile, having tried it several times before with his buddy Li Fei, he well knew the terror of the double-spicy.

After paying with his mobile WeChat, he took the four skewers of chicken wings from the boss. Chu Mo hesitated for a moment and then handed a skewer of the original and one of the single-sided spicy to the blond young man behind him, keeping a skewer of the mild spicy and one of the double-spicy for himself.

Geng Pan, impatient to try, took the chicken wings without any ceremony and bit directly into the fragrant meat. The flavors of honey and Sichuan pepper were rich, with the initial sweetness of the honey followed by the tingling numbness of the pepper. The wings had been marinated for several hours, ensuring a rich and aromatic taste.

But after just one bite, having never experienced a sweet and spicy flavor so intense, Geng Pan's blue eyes suddenly widened; he inhaled sharply, then his face turned red.

"Mr. Chu... I think I now understand the meaning behind the message on that note,"

the blond young man's nose started to show a trace of sweat.

At that moment, Chu Mo took a bite of the double-spicy wing. The spiciness and sweetness overwhelmed his taste buds at once, his palate, trained by drinking sugarless coffee, now showed signs of perspiration on his forehead.

Yet, the spicy flavor was accompanied by an irresistible aroma.

"This is just the appetizer; the good stuff is yet to come. We're going to eat our way through the whole street today."

Quickly polishing off the two skewers of chicken wings, Chu Mo, who hadn't eaten something that spicy in a long while, found it somewhat overpowering; he bought two bottles of mineral water from a convenience store, handing one to the blond young man who opened it immediately and started gulping down thirstily.

The spiciness of the chicken wings had whetted their appetites. Geng Pan, having also stubbornly finished his two skewers, approached Chu Mo and waved his hand,

"Mr. Chu, I can't go on, I can't eat anything this spicy anymore. I'm afraid my body won't take it well when I go back... You know what I mean."
