468: Chapter 468 What do you want to do?
Sensing that something was off in the atmosphere around them, Ye Xuan rolled his eyes.
“You bad guy!” Ye Xuan sighed helplessly with a light chuckle and then stuffed the rest of the oranges into Zhang Fan’s mouth.
Watching the couple flirt and tease each other, the crowd around them became even more explosive.
“Cut it out, you guys.
I’m afraid they’re going to flip our pot over!” Gao Qi said with a laugh.
“Hehe!”
Zhang Fan burst into laughter.
Soon, the base of the pot was served.
Even with the air conditioning in the restaurant at its lowest setting, one could still feel the intense heat emanating from the pot.
But soon enough, cold drinks were also delivered.
Having not had hot pot for over a year, Zhang Fan’s appetite was huge!
For one straight hour, he ate, leaving the people around him staring in amazement.
“Gulp, gulp!”
The onlookers all started swallowing their saliva!
“Damn it, this kid, he must have eaten fifty or sixty pounds of meat!”
“And countless crabs, fish, snacks!
How many days has he gone without eating?”
“Holy shit, he must be hired by the hot pot restaurant across the street to bankrupt this place!”
“Nonsense, this isn’t a buffet!”
Even the waitstaff had their eyes bulging out.
“Boss, boss, we’ve got a big problem!”
Someone ran upstairs to the owner, who was checking on things, and yelled.
“What’s wrong?”
“There’s a guy who’s about to empty our freezer!” the waiter said with a mournful face.
“What did you say?” The boss spit out his tea in shock.
Empty the freezer?
How could that be possible!
“Have you guys been slacking off and not restocking the meat?” the boss scolded with a glare.
“No, boss, the supplier just delivered it at four this afternoon, both freezers were full,” the waiter explained, struggling to make sense of it all, then dragged the boss saying, “Come down with me and take a look, and you’ll see.”
The boss went downstairs looking completely bewildered, but when he saw the two empty freezers, his face instantly fell.
What the heck?
“Boss, do we have any more meat?”
Zhang Fan, having finished the last piece of meat, turned his head and shouted.
The boss’s face twitched, and he then put on a bitter smile, “Brother, our freezers are empty!”
Zhang Fan was speechless.
He was only halfway through his meal when he was told that the freezers were empty?
“What about the vegetables?” Zhang Fan asked.
“We still have vegetables!” the waiter hurriedly said.
“Then serve the vegetables!
And go get some more meat!” Zhang Fan said.
The boss quickly suggested, “Brother, why don’t you go eat at the place across the street?
It’s on me.”
Hearing what the boss said, the crowd around couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time.
This boss was too sly; the restaurant across the street was a buffet.
With this guy’s appetite, if he went there, that place would lose out big time!
“I really enjoy SC hot pot, not so keen on the others,” Zhang Fan stated.
“Oh, a fellow SC native, huh?” The boss suddenly lit up with delight.
“Xiao Liu, go call and ask Chef Li to send over more meat, fresh ones, hurry!”
The boss shouted, then quickly approached Zhang Fan and said, “Eat as much as you like, it’s on me…”
Suddenly, the boss paused, thinking of the two emptied freezers, he couldn’t bring himself to finish the offer.
Damn, his was a small business after all.
“I’ll give you a 10% discount!” the boss said, changing his offer on the spot.
“You’re too kind, boss,” Zhang Fan responded with a smile.
“Right, right, right, take your time eating, I’ll go rush Chef Li for you,” the boss said.
However, Gao Qi’s eyes twinkled with mischief: “Fanzi, let’s go to the place across the street tomorrow!”
“Ah, for what reason?” Zhang Fan asked.
“That bastard across the street is no good.
Seeing the business booming here, he often sends people to bully this shop’s owner.
I fucking can’t stand it anymore,” Gao Qi said through clenched teeth.
“There’s such a thing?” Zhang Fan frowned.
“Yeah, I saw it myself last time,” Gao Qi said.
“Don’t start trouble, the owner of the shop across the street is not ordinary,” Yang Ping said.
Zhang Fan raised his head, looking at the expansive hotpot buffet across the street, his eyes also turning cold.
When fellow townsmen meet, if they can’t shed tears of joy, they should at least help each other out, right?
“Boss, check please!” Zhang Fan called out, touching his somewhat half-full stomach, his mouth curling into a cold arc!
“Hey, brother, why are you leaving?
Master Li will be here soon, in at most twenty minutes,” the owner said.
“I’m full,” Zhang Fan said, patting his stomach.
“What!” The owner was taken aback, then said soon after, “Then come back next time.”
“OK!” Zhang Fan replied.
“With a 10% discount, that’s 3182!
Let’s forget the change, 3100,” the owner said.
Hearing this, a group of people around kept rolling their eyes.
Damn, four people spent 3100?
The group’s eyes fell on Zhang Fan, astonished beyond words.
They were regulars; usually, for one person, it would only be 100 yuan at most per person, and that included the drink money.
Four people would definitely not spend more than 400 bucks.
Shit, one person ate 2800 yuan’s worth of food!
Just then, a cold shout suddenly rang out.
“Boss, the menu.”
Four blond youths walked in, banging the table and shaking their legs as they called out.
Suddenly, the owner’s face changed drastically, and he immediately ran over with a smile, pulling out cigarettes and handing one to each of them.
He then took out his wallet, counted out a thousand yuan, and handed it over!
“Brothers, enjoy your meal and drinks, this is a little token of my appreciation!” the owner said with a sheepish smile.
“Heh, that’s all the money you have?
Are you shooing away beggars?
Get lost, get lost, get lost, bring the dishes!” one of them coldly shouted, immediately pushing the owner away.
“Fanzi, these dumbasses are the ones the guy across the street hires to cause trouble.
I’ve seen them several times already,” Gao Qi quietly said.
“Just them?” Zhang Fan’s gaze turned their way.
“Yo, what a Top Grade chick!”
The eyes of the four blonds immediately lit up.
“Babe, come, keep us company and have some fun,” one of them said.
“Hey you, kid, come here!” one of them gestured to Zhang Fan.
“Hey, fuck, why the hell are you just standing there, goddammit, come over!” another one yelled angrily.
Zhang Fan’s eyes grew colder and colder.
Are people nowadays so lawless?
“Hurry up and go,” the owner came over and hurriedly said to Zhang Fan.
He knew the background of these rascals all too well, and as a fellow townsman, he definitely didn’t want Zhang Fan to get into trouble!
“It’s okay,” Zhang Fan shook his head and immediately walked towards the group of youths.
“Brothers, what do you need me for!” Zhang Fan’s face bore a wicked smile.
“Call that girl over here,” one of them laughed.
“Oh, her?” Zhang Fan pointed at Ye Xuan and said.
“Yes, yes, yes, yes!” the four of them eagerly nodded and said.
“Oh, Ye Zi, come over here for a bit!” Zhang Fan called out.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, Top Grade indeed!” As Ye Xuan walked over, a guy suddenly stretched out his hand and reached for Ye Xuan’s leg.
However, at that moment, a fork fell from the sky and went straight through that hand.
“Ah!”
Suddenly, an extremely miserable scream erupted.
“What the hell do you think you’re doing!”
The chilling voice came from Zhang Fan’s mouth!
