Chapter 1283 - 1286: Eating Attracts a Crowd (Part 1)
Chapter 1283: Chapter 1286: Eating Attracts a Crowd (Part 1)
One hundred skewers, four people?
Even for locals, they usually wouldn’t eat more than that amount.
After all, that’s at least seven or eight pounds of lamb.
That means each person would eat approximately two pounds of meat.
It’s not like in those TV dramas where martial artists say, "Boss, give me five pounds of beef."
Nowadays, the standard of living has greatly improved.
Eating a pound of meat in one meal is considered quite a lot.
Moreover, it’s not just about eating meat; there are other things to eat too.
Otherwise, you’d get tired of it or get heaty.
Almost everyone gave the four a thumbs up.
Yeah, that’s awesome!
Even they had to admire them.
The person who bet with the two little ones just realized and laughed, "Even if you don’t finish the three hundred skewers, I’ll treat you today!"
Others chimed in, "Count us in!"
"We’ll all chip in!"
After all, the cost of a hundred skewers isn’t cheap.
While it’s cheaper compared to Chuzhou City, it’s still ten yuan per skewer.
Mind you, in some places in Chuzhou City, these red willow skewers cost at least fifteen yuan each.
Plus, the amount of meat is less than a third of these, and it might not even be real red willow.
Anyway, people who ate it said it wasn’t much different from normal skewers!
When the person was about to refuse, he saw everyone else puffing up in objection.
In their view, treating Lin Xi’s group was an honor.
So, they couldn’t let him have all the glory.
The man just smiled and said no more.
Meanwhile, everyone agreed to serve the freshly grilled skewers to them first.
Now they wanted to see how much they could actually eat.
Quite a few people even stopped eating, just to watch Lin Xi and the others.
Lin Xi and the others didn’t mind.
The subsequent delivery from the boss of another fifty skewers came much faster.
In no time, they were served up.
The slightly charred, golden-yellow lamb skewers, dripping with golden oil, carried an aroma that could definitely whet anyone’s appetite.
Even with a previous consumption of a hundred skewers, the four showed no signs of being fed up looking at these fifty.
If this were in Chuzhou City, it might have been a bit greasy.
But the flavor here was indescribable.
While it seemed oily, eating it didn’t feel that way at all.
It was like a fusion of two extremes.
Melt-in-your-mouth and highly chewy!
Normally, these two would be contradictory.
But at this moment, they actually coexisted.
As a top-notch culinary expert and chef, Lin Xi couldn’t help but nod silently.
This place was doing a great job.
The taste was much better than those Michelin-starred restaurants.
No wonder someone was willing to pay a million for the secret recipe.
Of course, it’s not just the ingredients that are good.
The meat was also extremely fresh and delicious.
Definitely not the artificially raised and accelerated sheep.
It was similar to the sheep raised by the villagers at the foot of Yunlong Mountain.
Their sheep relied entirely on nature for sustenance.
So, the lamb from this boss must also come from such sheep.
If it weren’t tasty, that would be weird.
Also, the lamb here is somewhat different in quality from that of the south, north, and the grasslands.
Probably because of the large temperature difference between day and night, and intense ultraviolet rays.
This made the meat texture far surpass that of the grasslands and southern or northern regions.
Suddenly, a round of applause broke out.
Yep, it was the local folks.
Their faces were filled with admiration.
Because the recently served fifty skewers were also finished.
Bai Bing couldn’t eat anymore, drank a little beer, and even put down her phone.
This was her first time experiencing such an atmosphere.
She found it very interesting.
So she rested her chin on her hand, leaning on the table.
Her snow-white chin, swan-like neck, and delicate, slender hands, made people lose themselves in her under the sunlight.
Qiaoqiao felt about seventy percent full.
But she could still fight on.
To her, not eating until twelve tenths full was a disservice to society and herself.
Mengmeng and Lin Xi weren’t even half full.
This was no big deal for them.
Going all out, three hundred skewers really wasn’t much.
After all, both of them have Innate Power.
They could easily digest several sheep.
Moreover, Mengmeng is a dragon.
Food-wise, she just needs to taste it, and it gets digested.
Of course, they weren’t going to eat that way.
Otherwise, they might scare people.
Many people nearby began making bets.
Some bet that they definitely couldn’t finish the next fifty skewers.
Didn’t they see one had already stopped eating?
The other three probably couldn’t eat much more.
Eighty percent of the people sitting here agreed with this viewpoint.
Only a few thought maybe there was a chance for a miracle.
After all, they previously thought that after fifty skewers, they’d stop eating.
No one expected it to reach a hundred and fifty skewers.
Perhaps the three still eating were those eating contest champions seen on TV?
Eating champions don’t have to look fat or strong.
Many eating champions on TV look like frail little girls.
You have no idea how their stomachs fit the amount of food meant for ten people.
Many people from nearby shops and locals also gathered around.
After all, we are all Huaxia people!
The love for watching excitement seems the same everywhere.
The fourth batch of fifty skewers was finished again.
Those who lost the bet all shook their heads with wry smiles.
No one expected this at all.
Moreover, seeing the three of them still able to eat more.
Are they really going to finish all three hundred skewers?
Some were unconvinced and bet a hundred yuan that Lin Xi and the others absolutely couldn’t finish the fifth batch of fifty skewers.
And many people bet on it!
Those who insisted they could finish the fourth batch were now a bit hesitant.
They were no longer confident that Lin Xi and the others could finish the fifth batch of fifty skewers.
People have limits.
Even the TV champions might lose face here.
The barbecue boss couldn’t help but marvel at the abilities of today’s young people.
Of course, he had to keep grilling meat.
The crowd gathered, drawing more attention.
Lin Xi and the others seemed unfazed, sitting naturally as they waited for more skewers.
Fifty meters away, a group of ruffian-looking youths swaggered over, whistling and leering around.
Seeing the crowd gathering ahead, one of them curiously said, "Brothers, let’s take a look!"
"Maybe there’s something good going on!"
