HANGZHOU NOODLES - STORY # 1
HANGZHOU NOODLES : I think Kongsang Restaurant should focus on publicity for greater success! The most important thing is to build a splendid corridor of celebrities to publicize the history of flour-based food, and the best of the best flour-based foods is undoubtedly me, Hangzhou Noodles---
TA-A-MI : Wait, wait... The restaurant is trying to repay the debts owed to Empyrean and can barely keep its head above water. Right now, it is urgent to cut expenses rather than be extravagant...
CANDIED HAWTHORN : Master, Brothers Hangzhou Noodles and Ta-a-mi, are you having a disagreement?
TA-A-MI : No. Master told us the Chefs's Guild would rank restaurants, and we are discussing it.
HANGZHOU NOODLES : Let's not talk the talk here. Just come to Hangzhou with me to see how Kuiyuan House is doing. Then you'll see whether I'm just a braggart.
CANDIED HAWTHORN : Brother Hangzhou Noodles, so you are going to Hangzhou? Awesome~ Take me along, please!
TA-A-MI : Fine. Discussions with other chefs may produce light-bulb moments.
HANGZHOU NOODLES : Master, are you coming with us?
OPTION 1 : "Yes." HANGZHOU NOODLES : I knew you'd surely come along, since my Kuiyuan House and I are so famous. HANGZHOU NOODLES : Follow Mr. Chuan and there'll be surprises. As for what the surprises are... Well, you will find out very soon. OPTION 2 : "..." HANGZHOU NOODLES : Why don't you answer? Are you looking down on me, Hangzhou Noodles, and my Kuiyuan House? HANGZHUO NOODLES : Just... Go with us... If you don't go, the banquet and show I carefully prepared for you would--- HANGZHOU NOODLES : Eh? So it's just because you're worried the restaurant will be short-staffed while you're away? HANGZHOU NOODLES : Oh! But if you want to be a great boss like me, you should give your employees more opportunities to work to make them more experienced! Don't hesitate! Let's go!
CUSTOMER A : Eh, Mr. Chuan? Long time no see! Have you been busy preparing for a new branch to your restaurant lately?
CUSTOMER B : Mr. Chan, I heard about the new dishes today, so I took my kid here to try them out.
HANGZHOU NOODLES : Ahem, dear folks. Since I've got some friends with me here today, I myself won't be able to serve you. As an apology, each table will be served with a side dish on the house.
CUSTOMER C : That's okay. Mr. Chuan's friends are our friends. I am Wang. Just let me know if you need my help!
HANGZHOU NOODLES : Master, why are you looking at me like that? Are you feeling stressed as a result of my popularity and fame?
HANGZHOU NOODLES : Well, spend more time with me, and you'll be famous as well.
At the gracious invitation of Hangzhou Noodles, we are here at the Corridor of Fame in Kuiyuan Restaurant. It turns out to be true that the corridor is extraordinarily long---
Photos of Hangzhou Noodles rubbing shoulders with celebrities are displayed along the walls, featuring such inscriptions as "Excellent Ingredients, "Legendary Cook of Noodles", and "Unprecedented in Southeast China". So long is the corridor that it seemingly never ends...
HANGZHOU NOODLES : Look at this wonderful work of brush calligraphy. It's from General Cai, who was so impressed by the noodles of Kuiyuan Restaurant that he wrote "Unprecedented in Southeast China" about me on the spot with a flourish.
HANGZHOU NOODLES : What does "Unprecedented in Southeast China" mean, you ask? Why, it means that the noodles of Kuiyuan House are second to none in Southeast China!
HANGZHOU NOODLES : Look at these group photos. They're all of me shaking hands with the famous Peking Opera artists Mr. Mei and Mr. Gai---

CANDIED HAWTHORN : Brother Hangzhou Noodles, why is there a big blank photo frame?
HANGZHOU NOODLES : Because~...
HANGZHOU NOODLES : I am yet to take a photo with the Master!
Having said that, Hangzhou Noodles asks a waiter nearby to help him take photos. But the naughty Candied Hawthorn volunteers to help instead.
The waiter likes this outgoing little boy so much as to give Candied Hawthorn the camera, and patiently teach him how to use it.
HANGZHOU NOODLES : Master, what's your favorite pose? Remember to choose a proper pose that befits my fame!
OPTION 1 : Shake hands. HANGZHOU NOODLES : Handshake pose typical of celebrities? Great, try it with me, Master. HANGZHOU NOODLES : No, no... It's a bad angle. My cool fringe can't be captured from this angle! This position is also bad, as I can't show off my new outfit! HANGZHOU NOODLES : Eh? Master, don't leave! We haven't finished yet! You think I'm fussy? I just--- Hangzhou Noodles is in such a hurry that he pushes me against the wall with one hand--- Coincidentally, Candied Hawthorn presses the button right at this moment. With a shutter click, a "romantic" photo is recorded in the history of Kuiyuan House! OPTION 2 : Finger heart. HANGZHOU NOODLES : Really? So it's a modern gesture of friendship? HANGZHOU NOODLES : Ahem, but your finger heart is too small... Your gesture should be like mine. No. Yours should be larger than mine. CANDIED HAWTHORN : Master, Brother Hangzhou Noodles, I am pressing the button. Three, two, one, CANDIED!!
HANGZHOU NOODLES : Already done? Give me the camera, Little Hawthorn. I'll check the photos.
HANGZHOU NOODLES : Well... Seems great! I'll print a big picture and give it pride of place on the wall.
HANGZHOU NOODLES : On the wall of my corridor of fame? No way. It would be better off in my room...
CANDIED HAWTHORN : Brother Hangzhuo Noodles, is it mealtime yet? We've walked along the corridor for so long and seen so many pictures. Little Hawthorn is starving!
HANGZHOU NOODLES : Not. I haven't finished explainign the history, development course, and famous quotes of Hangzhou Noodles...
Tumblr media
OPTION 1 : "Mr. Chuan, I am also hungry!" HANGZHOU NOODLES : What's the matter with you all? I'm only halfway through explaining the complete history of Hangzhou Noodles. Listen carefully... Suddenly, the stomach of Hangzhou Noodles growls in hunger--- HANGZHOU NOODLES : ... HANGZHOU NOODLES : Ahem, I'm hungry, too. So I'll pick up where I leave off after the Banquet of Flour. TA-A-MI : Banquet of Flour? Is that the legendary banquet where all the dishes are made of flour? HANGZHOU NOODLES : You're telling me! It also has luxury dining areas and spectacular shows! It really has everything! Come with me--- OPTION 2 : "Perhaps you haven't prepared the meal...?" HANGZHOU NOODLES : How, how is that even possible? You dare doubt my hospitality? HANGZHOU NOODLES : Come with me. I bet your jaws will drop once you see all the exquisite dishes, the luxury dining area, and spectacular shows.
Hangzhou Noodles leads us all to the luxury dining area.
A variety of colorful and delicious flour-based dishes fill the table in the very ornate and luxurious dining area. Beside the table is a line-up of well-dressed waiters who shout at full volume---
WAITERS : Welcome back, Mr. Chuan!!!
WAITERS : Welcome, distinguished guests of Mr. Chuan!!!!
