Chapter 270: The Two-Faced Crispy Noodles

The snow-white fish were greased with oil and grilled on the fire. Soon they turned to a golden brown.

Li Du was using the flameless heat from the charcoal to cook the fish. If flames were used, it would cook quicker, but the insides of the fish would be left uncooked.

By using the flameless heat, after the fish had turned to a golden brown, the insides would be cooked perfectly. Crunchy on the outside, while soft on the inside: the perfect texture.

During the grilling process, he had splashed on some cumin and chili spices. Once the fish was cooked, he went to the kitchen to get a plate so that he could savor this wonderful fish.

However, once he returned, not a piece of meat was left on the grill!

Five to six pieces of juicy fish, and none of them were left!

The savageness of the rain outside mirrored Li Du’s current state of anger. He placed the plate down, his expression grim. He glared, full of rage, at Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles.

Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles both gave him a look of innocence as they sat beside the grill, their eyes blinking as if none of it had to do with them. Facing the enraged Li Du, they didn’t cower.

Mr. Li became even more furious. The one who stole the meat had to have been Ah Meow. With it’s jumping ability, it could simply swipe the meat off the grill with its claws. Crispy Noodles couldn’t do that.

Also, since these guys didn’t feel afraid after doing something wrong, they didn’t view stealing food as a wrongful act!

Mr. Li understood the meaning behind the saying, ”Spare the rod, spoil the child.” When pets stole food, it was a dreadful habit, and had to be corrected. If not, they couldn’t be brought into other people’s homes.

He stood in front of the two and glared down at them. He demanded sternly, ”Who did it? Own up! Who did it? Who stole the fish?!”

As he spoke, he pointed at the grill. Thus, even if the two didn’t understand the words, they would understand the intention.

Ah Meow blinked its large eyes, and then like a child, it pointed at Crispy Noodles with its paw. ”Meoing impossible!”

Ah Meow continued rolling around and crying.

”How old are you? How could you get naughtier as you grow up?” Li Du exclaimed.

Ah Meow realized that the method was not working, so it crawled up and look at Li Du with its fur puffed up. It growled repeatedly.

After some more growling, it looked toward Crispy Noodles, its eyes full of hostility.

Crispy Noodles remained looking innocent, as it stood unmoving behind the door.

Li Du felt that something was amiss. Although Ah Meow was a wild child, it wasn’t the kind to not admit its faults.

Even if it passed motion at the wrong places, or any other mistakes, as long as Li Du correctly identified it as the culprit, Ah Meow would still admit its mistakes.

This time, Ah Meow was refusing to admit the deed no matter what. Li Du stopped beating it, but instead, started pondering with his eyebrows creased. Perhaps, it really wasn’t done by Ah Meow.
