Chapter 263: Chapter 130: An Expensive Breakfast, I’m Never Treating Anyone Again

Aunt Fang went to get the buns for Old Lu in amazement. "Boss, this old man is eating like crazy. If he gets sick from this, we’ll be held responsible."

To be honest, Su Chen was also a little worried.

These buns weren’t some Miracle Medicine; they were made of real flour and meat. Lu Yongliang, a man in his seventies, was downing about ten of them first thing in the morning.

’Is that really okay?’

"Just serve them. They’re all adults. It should be fine."

Aunt Fang took all the buns from the steamer. There weren’t even ten left in total, so she just placed them all on Lu Yongliang’s table at once.

"This is all that’s left! There’s no more!"

Seeing this, Cui Yufen, who was sitting nearby, said, "Old Lu, share a few with me."

"No way. These are..."

"Hm?" Cui Yufen raised an eyebrow, and Lu Yongliang was immediately cowed.

’This old coot wants to fight me?’

Completely ignoring Lu Yongliang’s feelings, Cui Yufen directly snatched three large meat buns from his plate.

SMACK SMACK!

From the moment the large meat buns were served until now, when everyone was nearly finished, the cafeteria was almost completely silent.

Barely anyone was talking.

The extravagance of this group left Wang Rui, who was watching from the side, completely stunned.

’Where did these big spenders come from?’

’Wolfing down thirty-eight-yuan buns without even blinking?’

’Especially that guy who said he was treating. He looks pretty skinny, so how can he eat so much? I think he’s already had twelve, right?’

’Damn, can he really eat any more?’

GULP... Wang Rui swallowed hard a few times, then took a dejected bite of the five-yuan bun in his hand.

It was delicious, too, but compared to the thirty-eight-yuan one, this barely even counted as a bun!

Wang Rui even started to imagine that the bun in his hand was one of the 38-yuan ones, not some five-yuan cheapo.

He stared intently at the group of big guys next to him devouring their buns, trying to hypnotize himself into thinking, ’I’m one of them, too.’

Everyone had the same feeling about this breakfast.

Utterly satisfying!

"There are really no more? I feel like I could eat another two!"

Wang Peixing gave Shi Qi a reproachful look. "Stop messing around. You’ve already eaten ten buns."

’I thought everyone would eat two, maybe four at most.’

’But what happened instead?’

Liu Shengnan handed the bill to Wang Peixing. "Please take a look?"

"Just tell me the total!" Wang Peixing couldn’t bear to look at the brutal bill.

"Your party had a total of 203 buns and 57 tea eggs, for a sum of... 7,999 yuan. The millet porridge is a gift from our boss, so to round things up, you can just give us eight thousand yuan."

Wang Peixing: ’I’ve been in the restaurant business for twenty fucking years. I’ve seen places round down, but I’ve never seen anyone round UP!’

’Is this any way to run a business?’

He didn’t actually care about the one yuan. With a trembling hand, he scanned the QR code Liu Shengnan brought over and paid the eight thousand yuan.

’Animals! They’re all a bunch of animals!’

’One breakfast cost me a damn eight thousand yuan!’

Cui Yufen overheard the commotion. "Now I understand why Boss Su said you can’t just offer to treat people here."

"Now you get it, huh? Who can afford to treat people here? Just the four of us would end up spending over a thousand yuan."

Jiang Wusheng chuckled. "And that’s because you haven’t even tried the qiangguo noodles Boss Su makes himself. If you tried those, I guarantee you’d just get more and more hooked."

"Qiangguo noodles?" Cui Yufen was a little curious. "No matter how you make them, they’re still just qiangguo noodles!"

Lu Yongliang said, "Well, no matter how you make them, aren’t these buns still just buns?"

That made sense. Cui Yufen pondered for a moment. "I think there’s a ticket available for a ride back to the Capital City this afternoon."

She waved to someone behind her. "Ah Fu, you and the junior brothers can head back first if you have things to attend to. I’ll go back this afternoon."

Liu Fu came scurrying over. "What is it, Master? Do you have something else to do?"

"These gentlemen were saying Boss Su’s qiangguo noodles are also a must-try. I plan to stay and try them at lunch, so you all can just head back."

"Huh?" Liu Fu nodded, then ran back to the others. "Master said she’s staying to try the qiangguo noodles for lunch! Whoever needs to leave, get going!"

The junior brothers all looked at each other.

The way things were developing was, once again, a little beyond everyone’s expectations.

Shi Qi leaned back in his chair, rubbing his belly. While he was eating the buns, he’d felt like he could eat more, but now that he’d settled down, he was actually quite stuffed.

"I think I’ll stay too. It doesn’t make much of a difference whether I’m at the restaurant or not, and it’s no big deal if I go back a few days late."

He was a head chef at a major restaurant, after all.

At their level, they rarely had to cook personally anymore; they had apprentices to handle the work.

When Wang Peixing heard Shi Qi wasn’t leaving, he immediately said, "Shi Qi Brother, I treated you to breakfast, so shouldn’t you treat me to lunch?"

"No problem!" Shi Qi agreed readily.

’The buns were small and cost thirty-eight each.’

’How many noodles can a person eat? Even if you have a huge appetite, five bowls would be the absolute limit, right? It won’t cost much at all.’

"Whoa! Shi Qi’s treating? In that case, I’m not leaving either. I’ll leave this afternoon, too."

"Me too."

"Since nobody’s leaving, I’ll leave this afternoon as well!"

A dozen or so of the brothers all declared they were staying. It wasn’t a big deal to get back to work a day or two late anyway; even one more day wouldn’t be a problem.

Hearing this, Shi Qi shot up and started waving his hands in a panic. "Hey, I can’t treat this many people! Peixing’s the rich one, I don’t have as much money as him!"

The brothers all burst out laughing.

It was all in jest. Who among them wasn’t worth millions?

Spending eight or ten thousand yuan to treat their good brothers to a meal was nothing to them.

Watching this scene from the side, Wang Rui finally understood.
