60: That man eating a steamed bun~

Everyone gathered together, calculating the accounts.

Hua Hua got 33 yuan for 110 catties, Han Han and Gao Xiaofan each got 36 yuan for 120 catties, and as for Liu Yunning, he got 45 yuan for 150 catties.

Looking at everyone's joyful expressions, Gao Xiaofan couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache; a meal cost 20 yuan per person.

He led everyone toward the Cooking Auntie's place while thinking of a strategy along the way.

Unfortunately, after thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with any good ideas. Even tricking Liu Yunning into covering those extra five yuan wouldn't make much sense.

Everyone chatted happily, laughing and talking. Except for Gao Xiaofan, the others had been brought here without eating breakfast. After being tired all morning, their stomachs were already empty.

“Yunning is really impressive this time, earning 12 yuan more than me~” Hua Hua said enviously.

Hearing this, Liu Yunning felt a surge of pride and was a bit self-satisfied, then he looked toward Mi Mi.

“Sister Mimi, let's have a good meal in a bit.”

...Inside the Cooking Auntie's house, everyone looked at the small blackboard hanging there, speechless.

“20 yuan per person for three meals a day.”

“Today's Menu: Preserved Egg Salad, Shredded Potatoes with Green Peppers, Tomato and Egg, Braised Tofu with Meat.”

Gao Xiaofan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, 20 yuan per person per day wasn't unacceptable.

“Ah~ we don't have enough money~” Hua Hua and Han Han clutched the money in their hands, looking bewildered, not knowing what to do.

“Why is it so expensive? I don't believe yours is the only place in the village.”

The Cooking Auntie glanced at Han Han: “Yup, mine is the only one in the village.”

Liu Yunning ignored them and handed over the 40 yuan in his hand.

“Give us two portions.”

At this moment, Liu Yunning felt like he had truly stood tall in the livestream room. He believed there must be countless viewers outside the bullet chat applauding and cheering for him.

The Cooking Auntie happily took the money, quickly scooped dishes from the large pot, and brought them to the table nearby.

However, there was only the preserved egg salad and the shredded potatoes with green peppers.

“Auntie, aren't you missing two of our dishes? Weren't there also tomato and egg and braised tofu with meat?”

The Cooking Auntie pointed to the blackboard: “That's right, those two are for dinner.”

Everyone was speechless upon hearing this, but it didn't seem like there was anything wrong with it.

“How about we pool our money and let the girls eat first?” Hua Hua looked at Liu Yunning and Sister Mimi sitting at the table eating fragrant rice and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Han Han nodded without speaking. Gao Xiaofan shook his head and walked over to the Cooking Auntie.

“Doesn't this cover three meals a day? We didn't eat this morning, so it's unreasonable for you to charge 20.”

Everyone in the room, including the Cooking Auntie, was stunned.

“Hey~ that's right! We didn't even have breakfast. 20 a day means less than 7 per meal. It would be more reasonable if you charged us 7 less per person.”

“Yes, and we won't quibble with you over that one yuan.”

Hua Hua and Han Han's eyes lit up as they followed suit.

Hearing them chime in one after another, the Cooking Auntie also felt it made some sense, but she couldn't help looking at Liu Yunning, who was watching them.

He had already paid the full amount. The Program Production Crew had said that the food money earned these days was hers to keep and didn't need to be returned.

Gao Xiaofan chuckled: “Auntie, it's fine. He's rich; he won't ask you for a refund. Unlike us, we just don't have enough money, didn't eat breakfast, and worked all day.”

Hua Hua and Han Han also crowded around: “Yeah, Auntie, he's already eating the food, how could he possibly ask for a refund?”

Looking at the bills the three handed over and hearing them chatter in her ear, the Cooking Auntie dizzily took the money, stuffed it in her pocket, and began serving the dishes.

Gao Xiaofan, Han Han, and Hua Hua exchanged looks and happily laughed as they helped out.

14 per person, 28 for two. Not only did they get to eat, but they also had a surplus.

Hua Hua had 5 yuan left, while Han Han and Gao Xiaofan had 8 yuan left.

Liu Yunning watched the three teams eating happily and felt the remaining five yuan in his pocket. Damn it~

So much for having a better meal; now everyone was eating the same thing~ and for different prices.

Hua Hua: “Xiaofan is too amazing. If you hadn't realized it, all six of us would have gone hungry.”

The others nodded in deep agreement.

Gao Xiaofan replied vaguely while shoveling food into his mouth.

“Mmph, let's talk less and eat quickly. After we finish, we continue working. You have to realize that what we earn this afternoon will be pure profit~”

When this was said, Liu Yunning heard it too. Originally dispirited, he was once again pumped with adrenaline.

The others also realized this and quickly shoveled their rice. That's right, the evening meal was already accounted for, so whatever they did in the afternoon would be pure profit. Money is useful everywhere.

Reba watched Gao Xiaofan devouring his food next to her and reminded him with a smile.

“Eat slower, don't choke.”

Gao Xiaofan grunted twice and continued to bury his head in his work. It was just too delicious. Although H City was neither north nor south, he had grown up eating rice; he had been eating nothing but Steamed Buns for the past two days.

The speed of the comments in the livestream room went wild; they hadn't stopped since Liu Yunning started eating.

“The more brilliantly you smile while eating, the more dismal you'll be when you find out the truth tonight~”

“The show is too real, starting off with no food~”

“No need to wait for tonight; Liu Yunning is crying in the bathroom. Same dishes, different prices, hahahaha.”

“I'm very curious why Brother Wo Zi is eating so heartily. Everyone else is finished, but he's still eating~”

Twenty minutes later, everyone was full and satisfied. There was plenty of rice, and everyone had eaten a large bowlful, except for Gao Xiaofan, who had already finished two bowls and was still going.

Liu Yunning and Sister Mimi had already stood up to leave. What Gao Xiaofan said was very tempting; what they earned in the afternoon would be pure profit.

Hua Hua and Han Han at the next table were also a bit anxious, but looking at Gao Xiaofan still eating, they felt a bit embarrassed to leave.

“Don't wait for me! Make sure Liu Yunning doesn't take first place again this afternoon!”

Gao Xiaofan stared with wide eyes, shouting with a mouthful of food.

Hua Hua and Han Han gave Gao Xiaofan a grateful look, nodded, and also ran out with their teammates.

The bullet chat was dying of laughter.

“Brother Wo Zi: What are you still standing around for after eating? Hurry up and go work for me~”

“I'm looking forward more and more to these workers' reactions tonight~”

“I just went for a look elsewhere and finally found out why Brother Wo Zi is eating so heartily. I can only say he's truly ruthless.”

The viewers in the livestream room flooded out. What was being shown on the large screen of the section was precisely the footage of Gao Xiaofan gnawing on Steamed Buns these past few days.

Various scenes of this man gnawing on Steamed Buns were playing on a loop.

Sitting at a banquet, not eating the feast but gnawing on a bun; at a buffet, while others ate and drank, he walked around gnawing on a bun... Qu Lang stroked his chin. This kid was too good at creating content; even the behind-the-scenes footage from two days ago could be used.
