Chapter 1284: Chapter 1287: Giving Back (Part 1)
"Look around, are there any cameras or something?"
"Doesn’t seem like it!"
"Really, there aren’t any!"
"They’re really not filming a TV show, what about those big eaters on TV?"
"Are you silly, do big eaters look this pretty?"
"Seems like that’s true!"
"But I think if they were to join a big eating contest, they’d definitely be the champions!"
"Of course, we’re not fools!"
"Anyone who can eat five hundred skewers must win first place, no doubt about it!"
"Yeah, that’s at least over fifty pounds of meat!"
"And those two people alone ate seventy percent of it, that’s about twenty pounds each."
"And, don’t forget those two big bowls of pilaf and mixed noodles!"
"Even if you forced it down, it’d still be hard to fit!"
"I truly don’t know how they managed to eat it all."
"Also, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but those two seemed like they weren’t satisfied yet, I feel they could keep eating!"
"Is it just because they don’t want to cause a stir or something?"
"Isn’t there already a stir now?"
"...."
Mengmeng touched her stomach, a hint of hesitation appeared on her face.
Honestly, the meat was really good.
If it weren’t for the growing crowd, she felt she could continue eating.
Yeah, touching the stomach wasn’t because she was full.
It’s more like she felt she hadn’t eaten much.
If others knew about this, they’d be shocked.
You’ve had twenty pounds of meat, plus quite a bit of pilaf and mixed noodles.
And you say it’s like you haven’t eaten much?
Are you really not joking?
Lin Xi, however, was full.
He’s never been too picky about food.
Michelin food suits him, so does school cafeteria food, and even street food.
The most fitting for his taste, though, is what he cooks himself.
In fact, what he makes is also the best tasting.
Even today’s lamb skewers, truly unique, chewy yet not greasy.
But honestly, compared to the ones he casually grills at home for the giant bear, the taste is quite similar.
Mind you, those were from the marketplace, the quality surely couldn’t match here.
Also, there weren’t any seasonings added.
Qiaoqiao seemed somewhat unhappy.
Why couldn’t she eat past the two-hundredth skewer?
At that time, she could only watch Lin Xi and Mengmeng eat.
So annoying!
She vowed that starting next meal, she’d seriously train her ’capacity.’
Even if her strength is the weakest.
She must strive to have the biggest appetite.
"Let’s get out of here!" Bai Bing, who hasn’t spoken all along, suddenly said.
Lin Xi glanced at her, then at the crowd around them, and nodded.
Most people were watching for entertainment.
Faces filled with innocence and curiosity.
But with more people, there were some with different looks in their eyes.
So, leaving early was indeed wise.
"Boss, the bill!" Lin Xi shouted to the boss who was still grilling skewers for other guests.
The boss’s face turned unhappy hearing this.
The uncles happily chatting with Mengmeng and Qiaoqiao earlier were also displeased.
The uncle from the bet spoke up, "Why are you paying?"
"It was agreed, wasn’t it?"
"You don’t have to pay, think of it as us treating you!"
Lin Xi was reluctant to take advantage; he thought the bet was just a joke.
Besides, the people sitting before him, their income didn’t seem high.
Also, what they ate totaled at least over five thousand.
The uncle clearly understood what Lin Xi was thinking and smiled instead of getting angry, "Do you see how many people are here?"
"At least thirty or forty!"
"It’s just over a hundred bucks per person!"
"So it’s not too expensive!"
"Besides, the boss will definitely give us a discount, so it’ll be even cheaper!"
"We haven’t seen young people who can eat like you in ages, so we miss our youth dearly, don’t hesitate!"
The boss walked over too, "Exactly, no need for formality!"
"Guests from afar are like family!"
"I’ll give you a 30% discount, and split bills among us won’t cost much!"
Mengmeng and Qiaoqiao also said from the side, "That’s right, the uncles are so hospitable!"
"We shouldn’t refuse!"
Lin Xi thought for a bit, that makes sense.
If he insisted on refusing, it would hurt these uncles’ feelings.
Moreover, splitting the bill really wasn’t that costly.
If the uncle wanted to pay alone, no matter what, Lin Xi wouldn’t let him.
"How about this, I’ll treat everyone to a drink!"
Lin Xi ordered a crate of beer, and paid instantly via QR code.
These should not be paid by the uncles again.
Though it wouldn’t add much, principle matters.
He pressed the crate of beer lightly, popping them open.
On the table, Mengmeng and Qiaoqiao arranged a pile of plastic cups.
Each cup was filled up.
While pouring, he added half a bowl of water, with a hint of Dragon Marrow.
This hint of Dragon Marrow is probably only one-thousandth of a drop.
For a King of Soldiers, even one drop would be hard to withstand.
One-thousandth diluted in half a bowl of water and split into thirty or forty portions, ordinary people could handle it.
It would also have tremendous health benefits,
These people have lived here long under strong UV rays, plus huge temperature differences day and night.
Their bodies are more damaged than those in other places.
The aged count is also lower than in other areas.
Drinking Lin Xi’s beer would completely remove their bodily damages, bringing numerous benefits.
But they wouldn’t surpass ordinary people.
Their bodies would just improve significantly.
One beer you can’t buy, even for millions.
The uncles at the table weren’t formal; they eagerly grabbed a beer.
Then raised it towards Lin Xi’s group, clinked from afar, and drank it up.
After chatting a bit, the four of them were ready to leave the barbecue shop.
The uncles felt a bit heated after drinking.
But none minded, thinking it was due to the barbecue.
Just then, as Lin Xi’s group planned to leave, five young men approached from the dispersing crowd.
You could tell by their walk and attire they’re troublemakers.
But before they can get close to Lin Xi or even say a word, the barbecue shop owner angrily shouted, "You punks, get lost!"
"Get as far away as possible, don’t disturb my patrons!"
The five men were stunned, unable to react, thinking, "Did the boss eat gunpowder today?"
Darn!
