Xiuxian Food Stall, a Hot Spot as Soon as It Opens

Chapter 254 Truth or Dare
Jiang Yunhe's mind raced. He had intended to give a casual answer to the question, but little did he know that his mouth was much more honest than his brain.

“In all these decades, Mr. Jiang has never had romantic feelings for anyone.”

After he finished speaking, Jiang Yunhe's expression turned strange.

He was certain that this was not what he had intended to say.

After recalling Lu Wu's subtle expression, Jiang Yunhe had a guess in his mind.

There's something wrong with this food.

It makes people tell the truth after eating it.

Jiang Yunhe thought of many things, such as using the food to pry open the mouth of that stubborn old man, and how to better treat some patients who never tell the truth.

While his mind was racing, Jiang Yunhe looked up and saw Qin Zhan's lewd smile.

"Brother, you..."

Before he could utter a single word, Qin Zhan saw a deathly glint in Jiang Yunhe's eyes.

"Qin Zhan, you need to think carefully before you ask, after all, you'll need to eat later too."

Jiang Yunhe made a veiled threat.

If Qin Zhan makes things difficult for him, don't blame him for being ruthless later.

"Ahem, I just wanted to ask you, did you have breakfast today?"

Qin Zhan stopped in time.

"No."

Jiang Yunhe was very satisfied with Qin Zhan's sensibility.

"I want to know if you've taken the miraculous tonic I gave you last time?"

But to everyone's surprise, Qin Zhan changed the subject and asked a question that was too private.

The so-called "great tonic" is specially formulated for men, and Qin Zhan's purpose in asking this question is self-evident.

He stared intently at Jiang Yunhe, hoping the other would reveal the information.

But then he noticed a look of surprise flash across Jiang Yunhe's face, and then he shut his mouth and said nothing.

Yes, Jiang Yunhe discovered that he could control his mouth.

It allows people to speak their minds, but time is limited, or perhaps, it's limited to just three questions.

It has to be said, Jiang Yunhe was right.

Lu Wu referred to the special effect of this food as a "truth or dare game": after eating the insects, if someone asks the consumer some questions, the consumer will answer truthfully.

Of course, there are limitations.

You need to ask within one minute of eating, and you can only ask three questions. For the same person, it can only be effective once a day.

If the timeout or other issues occur, the solution will be ineffective.

However, if the question asked concerns an important personal secret, the food's effect will be diminished, and the person being questioned can overcome the influence through sheer willpower.

Jiang Yunhe understood.

"Qin Zhan, this is yours."

Just then, Lu Wu handed the jade bowl to Qin Zhan. The bamboo skewer stuck in the insect's body was teetering on the verge of falling, much like Qin Zhan's mood.

"Um, I'm not hungry right now, I'll eat when we get back."

Qin Zhan spoke dryly, trying to avoid Jiang Yunhe's eyes that were shooting death rays.

That wasn't a smile, it was like knives stabbing straight at you.

But how could Jiang Yunhe let Qin Zhan escape? Jiang Yunhe's hand reacted even faster than Qin Zhan's.

A silver needle pierced through Qin Zhan, who was caught off guard.

"Are you serious?"

Suddenly, his body became immobile. Qin Zhan shouted, trying to use his spiritual power to break through the sealed acupoints.

Jiang Yunhe didn't kill him, but that little bit of time was enough for him to do a lot of things.

He darted to Qin Zhan's side and used a bamboo skewer to feed the insect to Qin Zhan's mouth.

"Sweetie, are you going to eat it willingly, or do you want me to put it in your mouth myself?"

Jiang Yunhe emphasized the word "personally," indicating his eagerness to try.

Qin Zhan's face darkened instantly.

He profoundly proved a truth: if you don't court death, you won't die.

With a heavy heart and a sense of forbearance, Qin Zhan reluctantly opened his mouth and used his teeth to hold the selected bee pupa.

I was planning to use my spiritual power to destroy the bee larvae in their mouths when they weren't paying attention.

However, the two had known each other since childhood, and Jiang Yunhe knew Qin Zhan's little schemes perfectly well. He raised his hand and struck Qin Zhan's chin with his palm, forcing the other to look up. Jiang Yunhe then pressed his thumb on a certain spot on Qin Zhan's chin.

Gudong!

That was the sound of Qin Zhan swallowing.

The silkworm pupa was swallowed raw.

But he hadn't even tasted it yet; he should have known better than to resist.

Knowing that he couldn't escape the torment, Qin Zhan slumped his shoulders and wore a sullen expression.

"go ahead."

"Give me some face."

The last sentence was spoken very softly, as if in a plea, but Jiang Yunhe ignored it.

Every cause has its effect, and your retribution is me.

How many girls did you secretly watch while bathing when you were a child?

"After you stole and drank your master's secret wine last time, who did you frame?"

"A girl once confided in you, and I heard she left in tears in the end. What did you do to her?"

With three questions in a row, Jiang Yunhe gave Qin Zhan no chance to delay.

Under the influence of the food, Qin Zhan's mouth became really juicy.

"I saw it once, but it wasn't by peeping. I was practicing my skills on the roof and accidentally fell in. It wasn't on purpose, really."

"They framed the senior brother; he's thick-skinned and can take a beating."

“I didn’t do anything. I just said she wasn’t my type. Then she asked me what kind of girl I liked. I said I liked a girl whose cooking skills could rival Boss Lu’s. She got angry for no reason, called me a bastard, and told me not to compete with her for Boss Lu. She slapped me and ran away crying.”

What love? Qin Zhan, who's only thinking about food, is unlikely to fall into the trap of love.

Of course, if someone's cooking skills really can compare to Boss Lu's, he might consider it. Gender doesn't matter; at worst, they can be best buddies for life.

Lu Wu really didn't expect that she would have a role to play here.

Don't fall too much in love with that girl.

"Great, I've recorded it."

Jiang Yunhe raised the Yijietong in his hand, dodging Qin Zhan's attempt to snatch it, and put it away safely.

He will definitely find a suitable opportunity to make it public.

The people around him couldn't stop laughing when they saw Qin Zhan get his comeuppance.

Qin Zhan opened his mouth for a long time, wanting to curse, but then he noticed a big-eyed little girl watching him.

quality!
Qin Zhan, who had swallowed his profanities, was furious but could do nothing. He could only vent his anger by sticking insects on bamboo skewers and biting into them.

It has a texture similar to fried small yellow croaker.

It's very crispy.

The spices sprinkled on the surface of the silkworm pupae are conquering territory.

Salty, savory, and slightly astringent.

It has a very peculiar taste. The first bite is a bit unpleasant, but after swallowing it, the lingering aroma on the back of the tongue is strangely intoxicating.

Qin Zhan paused for a moment, then pricked up another grasshopper and ate it.

Once he overcame his psychological barriers, he discovered that these insects were a rare delicacy.

Each one has a slightly different texture.

The aroma of meat and caramel mingled together, creating an olfactory storm that was impossible for onlookers to ignore.

Is it really that delicious?

Some people still didn't believe it, but he noticed that quite a few people had gathered around.

Some were tempted, while others simply followed the trend.

Seeing this, Jiang Yunhe looked at the insects at the bottom of the bowl with a serious expression, as if he were studying some serious illness.

Unfortunately, his love for the patient ultimately couldn't overcome his desire for food, and Jiang Yunhe devoured the last bit of food from the bottom of the bowl.

Of course, the patient also needs to be treated.

He went to the back of the line and continued queuing.

The next bowl, no, the bowl after that, he would definitely, definitely, save it for "interrogating" the patient.

As for now, please let him eat a little more.

He announced that fried worms would be his favorite food for the next few days.
