Chapter 9 - Scamming

"Give me four sets of dumplings, four sets of zuozong tang chicken, four sets of li hongzhang's chimed meat, four sets of kung pao chicken, four sets of sweet and sour pork tenderloin, four sets of mapo tofu, four sets of fried egg rolls..."

"Young Master, we have a lot of food here. One serving is enough for four people." Seeing that Dong Long was still ordering, the waiter quickly interrupted him.

"It's fine. This young master asked you to serve. We can definitely finish it." 'It might not be enough,' Dong Long thought. 'You haven't seen the appetite of my deskmate.' He really did not know how Lu Ming's stomach grew. Was it a bottomless pit?

In order to set up the dishes, the four of them took up the largest table in the lobby. This table was close to the window and had a panoramic view of the street. It was a very good seat.

The dishes were served one after another, filling up a large table. Dong Long and the other two had a portion, while Lu Ming had three portions for herself. She ate heartily, and halfway through, the boss simply brought her a rice cooker filled with rice.

"Oh, it smells so good!" Lu Ming hugged the rice cooker and ate in big mouthfuls. "This restaurant Dong Long invite us to is really good."

Dong Long and the other two thought, 'I can't look at it, I can't look at it. I'm going to vomit if I look at it any longer."

The three of them pulled their faces and turned their heads to the side.

"You see that?" Lu Mingdid not stop eating. She looked at the reflection on the glass and asked her partners, "Those three people are acting sneaky. I don't know what they're up to."

The table that the group of four sat at was facing the window. Not only could they see the street view, but they could also see the interior of the restaurant through the reflection.

With Lu Ming's reminder, Dong Long and the other two also noticed that there were three people in the corner looking around sneakily. They had no idea what they were up to.

The leader of the three was a man with small eyes and hair parted, wearing a flowery shirt. Of the other two, one was as thin as a straw, and the other was as short and fat as a teapot.

"Go take a look?" Liu Yang suggested.

"Go and film it," Lu Ming instructed.

The rice was too delicious, and she didn't want to stop.

Dong Long and the other two immediately pretended to go to the toilet and walked in front of the three people. Gao Fu accidentally twisted her foot and fell to the floor.

"Are you alright?" Dong Long hurriedly went forward to check and tried to pull Gao Fu up.

"It's okay. Sigh, slow down. I think I twisted my foot." Gao Fu frowned.

"I'll help too." Liu Yang also bent down and helped Gao Fu back to their seat with Dong Long.

"It's done," the three of them gestured at Lu Ming without batting an eyelid. The latter was just about to eat her third bowl of dumplings with rice.

"I can't take it anymore. I really can't watch anymore." Even as a loyal carbohydrate fan, Dong Long felt that he could no longer watch Lu Ming eat.

"Boss! What's wrong with your restaurant? Why are there bugs in this dish?" The orderly restaurant that was in chaos suddenly burst into a clamor, attracting the attention of all the diners.

"Aiyo! Aiyo! I feel like my stomach is hurting so much that I'm going to die! Is this restaurant's food poisonous?"

Seeing that everyone was looking over, the man with the flowery shirt at the table that Lu Ming and the others noticed suddenly started to cry out in pain. He clutched his stomach and rolled around on the ground in pain.

The person who was as thin as a straw also squatted down and pulled the flowery shirt man, asking his brother what was wrong. Teapot grabbed the collar of the waiter who came to ask, and with a fierce look in his eyes, he claimed that he must get an explanation from the restaurant.

Most modern people had the attitude of 'the less trouble, the better'. When some diners saw a dispute in the restaurant, they didn't even plan to continue eating and wanted to pay in advance and leave.

"Sir, let's talk properly. Do you want to take your friend to the hospital first?" The waiter who was grabbed by the collar replied in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, "Don't worry. If it's our restaurant's problem, we'll definitely take responsibility."

"It must be your problem. Can't you see such a big bug?"

Straw returned to the table and took out a plate of stir-fried shredded potatoes to show the surrounding diners. The yellow shredded potatoes were mixed with a few oily dead worms.

Some of the more timid customers saw these bugs and couldn't help but run to the side to vomit.

"That worm looks pretty good. Can it be eaten?" Lu Ming asked with great interest.

"Blargh!" The three-man team, who were already full, couldn't hold it in anymore.
