She put down the rest of the raw pan-fried bun. However, she slowly chewed it down because she can’t spit out what was in her mouth.
Song Lang didn’t want to raise his chopsticks at all. There was no displeasure on his face, but a faint smile appeared.
When Bai Zhi put down her chopsticks, Song Lang called the clerk, and the shopkeeper then asked: “Are you sure this is the best-pan-fried buns in Jiangbei City?”
The clerk replied: “Of course, our pan-fried buns are a must in Jiangbei, who doesn’t know this?”
Song Lang asked the clerk and the shopkeeper: “Have you eaten it yourself?”
The clerk shook his head: “I haven’t eaten it. I’m running around to clean the table. How can I have spare money to eat this?”
Song Lang looked at the shopkeeper again: “How about you?”
The shopkeeper’s expression became a little embarrassed he had eaten it: “I have eaten it. It is too precious for me to eat it.”
Old Yuan said angrily: “Too precious? If it’s precious, why do you bring so much out? A plate can seem to be eaten by so many people?”
The shopkeeper smiled dryly: “Guest, this is the rule of the shop. No matter how many people come, the portion is the same.”
Song Lang said: “Since you all said that this is the best food in Jiangbei City, then today, I will reward you with this. As long as you can eat these on the spot, I will reward each of you with another 10 taels of silver. How about it?”
When the clerk heard this, his eyes immediately shines, and the light was very bright.
“Really?” He worked here for a year, but only earned 5 taels of silver. However, today, when he met a nobleman, he will be rewarded with pan-fried buns and money. This is pie dropped in the sky.
Song Lang nodded his head.
After that, he gave Old Yuan a wink.
Old Yuan immediately took out two silver ingots from his pouch and placed them on the table. One ingot was equivalent to ten silvers.
Song Lang said again: “However, if you can’t finish your meal, I can’t reward you and you will not ask for the payment for the meal. How about that?”
The shopkeeper was hesitant. He knew the taste of these pan-fried buns. He was afraid that he couldn’t eat even one of them. How could he eat so many pieces? But the ten taels of silver almost blinded him. He was reluctant to give up and was tangled in secret.
The clerk quickly pulled the shopkeeper’s sleeve and said, “Boss, why are you hesitating about such a good opportunity? Hurry up and agree.” He wanted to agree by himself, but he didn’t have the right to waive the bill, so he could only convince the shopkeeper.
And these 40 pan-fried buns, how could he eat them all by himself? But two people can eat them all.
The shopkeeper can’t remember the taste of these raw pan-fried buns. He only knows that it was very unpalatable, but he thinks, no matter how bad it is, for these ten taels of silver, it was alright to swallow it with eyes closed!
So, the shopkeeper nodded and agreed to Song Lang’s proposal.
Song Lang waved his hand: “You two, please sit down.” After speaking, he stretched out his hand and took the bun that Bai Zhi took a bite in front of him. What Bai Zhi has eaten, naturally, cannot be touched.
The shopkeeper and the clerk have already sat down. The customers in the store had all gathered around to see how much unbearable food they could eat.
The clerk first took one and stuffed it into his mouth. The pan-fried bun was not that big, it was just the size of a two- or three-year-old kid’s fist.
For a young man like him, one bite was not an exaggeration.
He thought that this pan-fried bun must have a thin skin and be full of fillings. After all, that was the case with the bun he had eaten before.
