Chapter 493 Shocked(1/2)
"Master Xiao Lin, can you really eat seven or eight big steamed buns?"
Yi Zhonghai asked with his eyes slightly widened.
"Of course, if you don't believe it, you will know later when you watch me eat it with your own eyes!"
Lin Tieniu nodded without hesitation and said.
"..."
When Yi Zhonghai heard this, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Originally, after he knew that Lin Tieniu was an orphan and a sixth-level cook, he wanted to put Lin Tieniu as a candidate for retirement as a spare tire for Silly Zhu.
However, now that he heard that Lin Tieniu had to eat seven or eight large steamed buns in one meal, he immediately put an end to this idea.
After all, if this is true, then it’s still unclear who will support whom!
Lin Tieniu looked at Yi Zhonghai's silent expression, and a meaningful smile slightly curled up at the corner of his mouth.
As Yi Zhonghai's old rival, he knew very well how deep this old boy's scheming was, and he also knew very well that after Yi Zhonghai found out that he was an orphan, he would definitely target him as a high-quality pension target.
Instead of guarding against Yi Zhonghai's mischief all day long, it would be better to take the initiative and put on the hat of a loser, so that Yi Zhonghai fails to steal the chicken and loses a lot of rice.
After all, as the master of the courtyard, you can't just watch the residents in the courtyard starve to death!
In this way, not only can he avoid being kidnapped by Yi Zhonghai's morals in the future, but he can also seek help from Yi Zhonghai from time to time, which will contribute to Yi Zhonghai's image project of being a gentleman.
Soon, Lin Tieniu put the mixed dough in a warm pot to ferment, and then, with his skillful and dexterous techniques, it turned into steamed bun embryos of the same size.
Then, he immediately put the steamed bun embryos into the boiling pot and steamed them.
As the heat continued to steam up, the steamed bun embryo slowly turned into a big white and plump steamed bun.
While Lin Tieniu was chatting with Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu, and Qin Huairu, he was estimating the time in his mind. When the big steamed buns were steamed, he quickly opened the lid of the pot and gave all the big steamed buns to him.
Take it out and put it in the rice bowl.
Qin Huairu looked at the big white steamed buns in the rice bowl, with a trace of reluctance in her eyes.
In her opinion, these big steamed buns should have been hers, but now they all ended up in Lin Tieniu's hands by accident.
If possible, she still had to see if there was a chance to get some back later.
Silly Zhu looked at those big steamed buns and soon showed a look of laughter on his face, as if he had seen the end result of Lin Tieniu holding his neck and stuffing steamed buns into his mouth desperately.
Yi Zhonghai didn't react much, he just stood aside and watched with a calm face, making people a little confused about his thoughts.
Lin Tieniu glanced at their respective reactions, then sat down on the chair, reached out and picked up a big steamed bun, and said with a smile: "Master, Master He, Sister Qin, I will start eating now, you can
You have to watch carefully!"
After saying that, he didn't talk any more and just put the bun to his mouth and took a big bite.
This bite instantly reduced the amount of steamed buns by one-third. At the same time, Yi Zhonghai, Shazhu, and Qin Huairu were all blinded by the sight, and couldn't help but worry that Lin Tieniu would choke to death.
However, the next moment, Lin Tieniu simply chewed a few times, swallowed all the steamed buns in his mouth, and then immediately took another big bite of the steamed buns and continued eating.
Just like that, he finished the big steamed bun in his hand in just a few bites.
When Yi Zhonghai, Shazhu, and Qin Huairu saw Lin Tieniu eating so ferociously, they couldn't help but feel frightened for a moment, as if they were a little frightened.
Lin Tieniu took advantage of the gap between reaching for the steamed buns and glanced at them calmly, feeling slightly amused in his heart.
Where is this?
There will be more cruel ones later!
The next moment, I saw him holding a big steamed bun in one hand, taking a big bite from the left side and a big bite from the right side. There was a trace of ferocity on his face, as if he was worried that someone would steal the food from him.
Seeing Lin Tieniu's appearance, Yi Zhonghai, Shazhu, and Qin Huairu all swallowed their saliva in unison, with a look of surprise on their faces.
Just when they couldn't help but wonder if Lin Tieniu was reincarnated as a starving ghost, it didn't take long for Lin Tieniu to finish all the steamed buns in the rice bowl.
Even after eating, he reached out to touch his stomach and said with a regretful look on his face: "Well, it's a pity that I only ate until I'm eight percent full!"
Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai, Shazhu, and Qin Huairu came to their senses instantly, and then their foreheads were all covered with black lines.
After eating so many steamed buns, they were still only eighty percent full. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't be able to believe it.
"How's it going? Master He, now you should believe that I didn't lie to you, right?"
Lin Tieniu looked at Shazhu and said with a smile.
"I believe it! I believe it! Master Lin, you are awesome! I will send you the money and tickets later!"
Shazhu nodded hurriedly when he heard this and said with a convinced look on his face.
After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
"Hey, Silly Zhu, wait a minute!"
"Well, Master Lin, I still have something to do at home, so I won't disturb you."
When Qin Huairu saw this, she hurriedly shouted, then hurriedly said a polite word to Lin Tieniu, and then quickly turned around and chased Shazhu, as if there was a wolf chasing after her.
After seeing Lin Tieniu's appetite with her own eyes, she didn't want to get involved with Lin Tieniu at all at this moment, so as not to be entangled by Lin Tieniu in the future.
At the same time, she was also a little worried that the money that Shazhu lent to Lin Tieniu would never be returned, and she might even borrow it from Shazhu again in the future.
Wouldn't this be equivalent to cutting off her body?
In short, she has to find a way to prevent this from happening. Even if she can't make Sha Zhu regret it, she must also make Sha Zhu not lend money and tickets to Lin Tieniu easily in the future.
At the same time, Yi Zhonghai also wanted to turn around and leave, but considering his own image, he resisted the urge and proactively said with a smile: "Master Xiao Lin, your appetite really shocked me.
Ah! I have lived for most of my life, and I have never seen anyone with such a big appetite as you."
"Master, I made you laugh!"
Lin Tieniu said with a somewhat embarrassed smile.
As he said that, he changed his subject and showed a worried look on his face, "I used to be able to eat well in the army, but now I come back to the city to eat the planned rations. I only have a small quota for a month, and I don't have enough food."
How many full meals will I be able to eat in the future?"
"You don't have to worry too much about this. Aren't you working as a cook in our factory? No matter what, you won't be without food."
Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly offered words of comfort.
After saying that, he pondered for a moment, and then said: "You have just started working now, and there is still only half a month until the next payment is collected. It is indeed quite difficult."
"In this way, I will go home later and bring you 20 kilograms of stick noodles for emergency use. You don't have to rush to return it to me. I'll wait until you have more money in the future."
"Ouch! Master, how can this be so embarrassing!"
Lin Tieniu's eyes lit up slightly, and then he hurriedly declined.
"It's okay. My wife and I are the only two people in my family. We don't eat as much as you do. I can still squeeze out some food if I squeeze."
Yi Zhonghai chuckled and waved his hand and said.
Although he had given up on Lin Tieniu in his heart, he could still win over Lin Tieniu with some small favors.
After all, he knew that Liu Haizhong had always coveted his position as the great master. Having one more person to support him would also give him more protection.
"Then...thank you then!"
Lin Tieniu pretended to hesitate for a moment, then immediately nodded and agreed.
Anyway, if you don’t take this advantage, it’s not free, and it can also reduce Yi Zhonghai’s wariness towards him, so why not do it!
"You're welcome. We are all neighbors and we should help each other. Just wait a moment and I'll go back and get you some stick noodles!"
Yi Zhonghai chuckled and replied, then hurriedly turned around and walked out.
Lin Tieniu stood at the door of his house and looked at Yi Zhonghai's back, a pleasant smile gradually appeared on his face.
Sometimes, if you want to avoid being plotted by the birds in this courtyard, you don't necessarily have to keep people away from you. That will only make people miss you more.
That's why he came up with such a self-defeating method to let all the birds in the yard know that he is a big eater who can't get enough to eat.
In this way, the birds in this yard will no longer be thinking about getting any benefits from him, nor will they want to get too close to him.
And he can live his own life peacefully.
The only bad thing is that it may not be convenient to find a wife in the future with the reputation of being a loser.
However, he can also use this to choose a wife who really likes him, which can be regarded as a mistake.
Then, things went as he expected.
Thanks to the publicity of some caring people, people in the courtyard soon learned that Lin Tieniu, the newly moved neighbor, was a huge ricer, and would eat more than the rest of the family's rations in one meal.
If other expenses in life are added, it means that Lin Tieniu alone has to spend the living expenses of at least four people.
Among them, some people were just a little surprised, but others couldn't help but gloat.
For example, Liu Haizhong and his family.
Originally, they wanted to find an opportunity to teach Lin Tieniu a lesson and express their anger at having the aisle taken away. But now that they knew that Lin Tieniu lived in such misery, they suddenly felt relieved and even scolded him fiercely.
A few words deserve it.
In addition, Qin Huairu originally wanted Shazhu to stop lending money and food to Lin Tieniu in the future, but for his own sake, Shazhu just confused the matter by making jokes, which made Qin Huairu very angry.
To be continued...
