"Didn’t you hear her say she wants to go ho and have a al with her mom?"
Tang Ming said with a straight face, "Disturbing soone’s family gathering is the most immoral thing to do."
"Oh."
The fatty nodded in pseudo-understanding.
Tang Ming looked around the snack street, then asked, "Fatty, have any new restaurants opened up recently?"
"Yeah, there are shops opening and closing every day on snack street, after all, business here might look booming, but it’s actually not that easy."
The fatty looked down the street, trying to find a suitable place to eat.
Tang Ming suddenly spotted a new buffet hotpot restaurant and couldn’t resist the temptation, "Fatty, how about hotpot for lunch?"
"Brother Tang, are you craving hotpot, or is it because that one’s an all-you-can-eat place?"
The fatty teased, knowing well Tang Ming’s appetite.
"Both."
Tang Ming stared at him in surprise, "You’ve gotten smarter in just a few days, huh?"
"Dammit, I’ve always been smart, alright?"
The fatty retorted unsatisfied.
"Really? Why haven’t I noticed before?"
Tang Ming shalessly continued, "It seems that under my influence, I can truly change a person!"
The fatty pointed to the hotpot restaurant and said, "Brother Tang, that place is busy. If we’re late, there won’t be any seats left. Let’s hurry."
"Why didn’t you say so earlier?"
Tang Ming quickly made his way toward the buffet hotpot restaurant.
Indeed, because the buffet hotpot restaurant had just opened and was offering generous discounts, along with free drinks, it attracted many custors, including students from the school occupying over a dozen tables.
Luckily, there were a few empty tables left. Tang Ming and the fatty claid their spots and began calling the waiter over to order.
One pot base costing over sixty, plus forty-eight per person, the al totaled a little over a hundred, but they could eat a lot for free; Tang Ming found the deal quite reasonable.
But of course, he wasn’t the one paying. With a rich kid like the fatty around, a hundred or so was nothing.
"Brother Tang, if it’s not enough, go get so more. You’re grabbing so much at once, how are we going to fit it all on the table?"
The fatty advised Tang Ming.
Tang Ming and the fatty stood in front of the hotpot restaurant’s fridge, quickly adding another plate of tripe to their cart, then Tang Ming complained discontentedly, "What do you know? With so many custors, the good stuff will be gone in a while."
The fatty scratched his head, muttering, "Looks like we won’t be coming here much before this hotpot place blacklists both you and as unwelco guests."
"Scared my ass, we’ve got the school cafeteria. If there’s nothing to eat on snack street, we’ll just go back to the cafeteria."
Tang Ming declared, unfazed.
The fatty spoke with a sour face, "Brother Tang, the day before you took leave, the three cafeterias in school collectively complained about you to the principal, saying that you should go ho for lunch from now on, otherwise they’d have to make enough food for twenty more people just because of you."
"Oh? That’s so?"
Tang Ming said through clenched teeth, "Those cafeteria guys are too stingy."
"Those bloodsuckers, profiting off students, they are not good people at all."
The fatty, helping Tang Ming with the dishes, advised with a frown, "So Brother Tang, try to save a bit when eating on snack street. If you scare all these places off, you’ll really have nowhere to eat in the future."
"That so, alright, I’ll eat less then, consider it dieting and slimming down."
Tang Ming said earnestly.
Suddenly, a laugh rang out, "Brother Tang Ming, you’re going on a diet?"
Tang Ming looked up and saw Li Xiaoli and Liu ngting walking over. The presence of these two beauties instantly added a refreshing touch to the greasy atmosphere of the hot pot restaurant.
"Wow, the university beauties are also dining here?"
The chubby guy asked with a delighted expression on his face.
"If you guys can co, why can’t we?"
Li Xiaoli, seeing the chubby guy’s appearance as though he was about to drool, felt a bit disgusted and spoke sowhat rudely.
"No, of course you can co. It’s just that we’re used to seeing you dine in restaurants, and didn’t expect you to co to a snack street like this."
The chubby guy said, trying to cover up his embarrassnt.
"It’s normal to change tastes occasionally."
Liu ngting casually said, then turned to the waitress and asked, "Is there any room available?"
The waitress said apologetically:
"I’m sorry, ladies, but all the tables are currently full."
"So what do we do now?"
Liu ngting asked, sounding a bit unhappy.
Li Xiaoli walked over, pulled Liu ngting’s arm, pointed at Tang Ming, and said, "ng ng sister, Tang Ming brother has seats, right? Why don’t we just share a table together?"
"Sit with him?"
Liu ngting hesitated, as Tang Ming’s eating habits were truly shocking, and she did not want to be gawked at like a panda.
The chubby guy seed to realize sothing and imdiately said with a smile, "If the beauties don’t mind, why don’t we share a table? Tang brother’s stomach isn’t feeling too well today, so he won’t eat much anyway."
"Oh, is that so?"
After hearing this, Liu ngting looked at the dishes Tang Ming was holding; while they were abundant, they weren’t outrageous, so she nodded in agreent.
The four of them seated themselves, and the hot pot was already boiling furiously, its fragrance wafting through the air, making it irresistible.
Tang Ming didn’t hold back, putting the at dishes into the pot, and before long, it was filled to almost overflowing.
Slling the strong aroma, Li Xiaoli, with her appetite whetted, said, "ng ng sister, this hot pot must be delicious, you should try it later."
"This kind of thing is better eaten in moderation."
Liu ngting said indifferently; she couldn’t eat much anyway, and this ti she was dragged here entirely by Li Xiaoli.
"If you’re eating hot pot, you should enjoy it. Always putting on the princess act, even dragon at would be tasteless."
Tang Ming was evidently annoyed by Liu ngting’s princess-like deanor.
"If this hot pot place is so cheap, could it still sell if the food had no taste? Just a few dozen yuan for a casual al, I really want to understand whether satisfying your cravings is more important, or your health is."
Liu ngting rebutted sharply.
"Then don’t eat anything, considering nothing is quite clean in this snack street."
Tang Ming said cheerfully.
Seeing the atmosphere turning a bit sour, Li Xiaoli imdiately pointed to the pot and said, "Let’s stop arguing, the food is ready, let’s eat quickly."
Tang Ming started to eat with his chopsticks without waiting; he was famished and wasn’t about to hold back. anwhile, Chubby Zhou was a bit restrained in front of the two beauties, and even took the initiative to pour drinks for them.
After gobbling down two bowls of piping-hot at dishes, Tang Ming grabbed his herbal tea and gulped it down, then exclaid how refreshing it was.
Li Xiaoli nibbled on potato slices, inhaling sharply from the heat, then turned to Tang Ming, full of curiosity, and asked, "Tang Ming brother, aren’t you afraid of burning your mouth eating so quickly?"
"Heh, I’ve trained for this, not afraid of the heat at all."
Tang Ming said, looking very pleased with himself.
