Chapter 1282 - 1285: The Bet (Part 2)
Chapter 1282: Chapter 1285: The Bet (Part 2)
"Meaning, the portion is really big, take a look!" The owner pointed to the skewer in the person’s hand next to him and said again.
Three hundred skewers, to be honest, he still thought it was too absurd.
Of course, he didn’t think the four people in front of him would dine and dash.
From their appearance, you could tell by a careful observation.
Besides, he knew almost all the diners, and even had good relationships with them.
So if they tried to dine and dash, these four wouldn’t get away.
They didn’t look like foolish people either.
"Then let’s start with two hundred and eighty skewers!" Qiaoqiao said from the side, a sly smile evident on her face.
Lin Xi shook his head; these two little ones never made things easy for him.
Couldn’t they just eat a hundred skewers first and then order more?
The owner was speechless and said, "There are so many customers now, I can’t serve all at once!"
"How about I serve fifty skewers at a time?"
"Is that okay?"
Before Qiaoqiao could speak, Lin Xi knew what she wanted to say, so he said ahead of her, "That’s fine, boss, go ahead."
With that, Qiaoqiao and Mengmeng didn’t say anything.
As for Bai Bing, she hadn’t spoken from the beginning.
Of course, she wasn’t just idling.
She was busy typing on her phone.
Lin Xi glanced over and saw she was chatting about work.
A workaholic indeed!
Because for the entire morning, Bai Bing spent almost half of the time working on her phone.
It’s the National Day!
Couldn’t she just take a proper rest!
However, he didn’t say anything, since even if he did, Bai Bing wouldn’t care about it with her kind of personality.
"Young ladies, where are you from?" A man next to them asked Mengmeng and Qiaoqiao.
Mengmeng replied honestly, "From Chuzhou City."
"Just arrived today."
Qiaoqiao, on the side, asked, "Uncle, what fun places or sights are there to see around here?"
Besides those well-known spots, of course.
You wouldn’t believe it, but this uncle knew quite a bit.
Like the regular markets where you can buy almost anything.
And the nearby amusement park.
Many outsiders visit.
Because there are projects inside that aren’t available elsewhere.
Many other men and young guys started chatting with Mengmeng and Qiaoqiao.
Mengmeng and Qiaoqiao replied enthusiastically.
Lin Xi didn’t say anything.
He had a good first impression of these people.
After all, he didn’t see the indecent or lewd looks in their eyes that some people might have.
Their gaze was pure, kind, with a touch of innocence.
People like this were easy to get along with without any ulterior motives.
The owner was such a person too.
This was a major reason he chose to eat here.
Not that he was afraid, but he didn’t feel like wasting energy dealing with troubles.
As they chatted, someone said, "Why did you order so much?"
"You definitely won’t finish it!"
If they could finish, they would treat them!
Mengmeng and Qiaoqiao exchanged a smile, "Really?"
"Of course it’s real!" The person immediately replied.
Although, a few hundred skewers were expensive, but he could afford it.
Besides, they certainly couldn’t finish it.
So the bet was just a little joke.
Just didn’t expect these two young ladies took it seriously.
Soon, the owner brought a large platter of grilled meat, along with a big plate of noodles and rice.
Chopsticks and bowls were already on the table.
Then, they started eating.
Many people were paying attention.
But after a while, most stopped paying attention.
Anyway, they couldn’t finish!
Bai Bing had the smallest appetite among the four.
But it was also much bigger than the average person’s.
This wasn’t the case in the past.
As her strength grew, her appetite increased.
Next was Qiaoqiao, whose appetite had increased significantly lately.
She loved eating more.
Before, when her illness was uncontrolled, she couldn’t eat as much as she wanted.
Now that she was better, she really liked eating more.
Plus, with increased strength, her body needed more, so her appetite was big.
Then comes Mengmeng.
No, it should be Lin Xi.
Though Lin Xi always ate more than Mengmeng, it was because Mengmeng was controlling herself.
To know, she was a dragon.
If she let herself go and ate freely.
Even those ten or so sheep heads hanging beside the owner’s uncle wouldn’t be enough.
While eating, Lin Xi ordered a case of Xinjiang’s specialty beer.
All three girls drank it.
About ten minutes later, each person finished a bottle of beer.
Fifty skewers of lamb were also completely eaten.
However, only a third of the rice and noodles were eaten.
The uncle who bet with Mengmeng and Qiaoqiao noticed it first.
Or rather, he had been paying attention all along.
He laughed at this moment, "Impressive, you all have quite an appetite!"
"Want to order more?"
Obviously, he thought they must be full.
Others also looked over and saw that all fifty skewers were gone, they couldn’t help but be impressed.
Good job!
Impressive!
Soon, their attitude towards the four people improved considerably.
They always liked people who could eat.
"Another fifty skewers, boss!" Qiaoqiao shouted.
The owner wasn’t vague about it and soon brought out another fifty skewers.
Exactly the same as before.
This time he couldn’t help but say, "If you finish this fifty skewers as well, I’ll give you a twenty percent discount!"
Qiaoqiao immediately shook her head with a smile, "No need, uncle boss."
"We have a bet with that uncle over there, if we finish, he’s treating us!"
The uncle on the side immediately said nonchalantly, "Absolutely!"
While eating, Mengmeng couldn’t help but praise, "Uncle boss, your grilled meat is much tastier than what I’ve had before!"
The owner laughed heartily and said nothing.
But the people next to them commented, "Of course!"
"Let me tell you, you came to the right place."
"Why do you say that?" Qiaoqiao asked curiously.
"You see those big-name restaurants online, they can’t compare to this place."
"Because his lamb chops have better meat quality, plus he uses genuine red willow roasting, been in business for decades, with a family-secret recipe."
"Someone offered a million for the recipe before, and he didn’t sell!"
"You should know, aside from this restaurant, us locals rarely go anywhere else."
"Wow, it was really that good!" Mengmeng’s eyes widened.
Qiaoqiao did the same.
Lin Xi smiled, the place he chose couldn’t possibly be bad!
Bai Bing remained silent and cold-faced.
Hmm, she was replying to messages with one hand and savoring a skewer with the other.
Just then, the person who spoke earlier felt his companion tug his clothes, he turned to ask, "What’s up?"
His companion didn’t speak, just pointed.
He looked in the direction pointed, towards Lin Xi and the group.
"What’s the matter?" he wondered, "You think..."
The word "say" hasn’t been uttered before he froze.
Because just then, those fifty skewers were all eaten!
