As a female Zhuge, Qiao Zijiang's prediction was spot on.
As the banquet began, everyone toasted Vigilante A, who had saved them like a god from the heavens. At the same time, they expressed that they would treat Vigilante A to a private banquet later. Vigilante A merely nodded and gave each of them a name card with his QQ and WeChat ID.
However, when they started eating, it did not take long for them to realize that something was wrong. Not everyone could afford to hire this hero …
Qiao Anping, Qiao Zishan, and two male staff sat at the same table as Vigilante A, eating with him.
However, they soon realized that the four of them were unnecessary because they couldn't even put a single chopstick into the food …
On the other tables, after more than ten dishes had been served, there were about seven or eight tables with six people each. It was about time for more dishes to be served. After all, the dishes were very tough. Although they tasted great and everyone wanted to eat more, their stomachs simply couldn't fill up.
Since the cost of each dish was quite high, and the higher-ups had always advocated frugality, they naturally wouldn't serve more if they couldn't eat anymore.
Hai Lan was eating with a few ladies at another table. There were both young and old ladies, but they all had one thing in common: they ate very little. She, on the other hand, did not bat an eyelid. Just as she had planned, she sent most of the medicinal cuisine into her stomach to nourish herself, much to the envy of the ladies.
The dishes were of the highest quality, and they wanted to eat more as well. However, they were worried that they would suddenly gain weight, and their appetites were limited.
Hai Lan ignored her usual cold demeanor and ate like a madman because the ingredients and herbs used in these dishes couldn't be bought from the outside. Even the academy's middle-level and above staff could only eat them when they performed meritorious deeds or when there were important festivals.
Secondly, she believed that this was all the fault of the Divine Chef. After all, he didn't lie at all. These dishes could only be enjoyed in the heavens, they shouldn't even exist in the mortal world …
It was no wonder that the True Dragon only ate at his place, and he had the audacity to call himself the True Dragon's personal chef. From this point alone, he really was an honest person.
Thinking of this, she raised her head and looked at Qiao Anping's table. She wanted to see what kind of attitude Vigilante A would have towards such exquisite delicacies.
Then she was dumbfounded.
Vigilante A sat upright and still, his hands and feet unmoving, his face expressionless, as if he was chewing wax. Occasionally, he would open his mouth, and pieces of food would fly into his mouth. When she took a closer look, she realized that they were pieces of meat that had been stripped of their bones and spices …
Sometimes, the hero would even open his mouth and suck in the soup. Like a waterfall, the soup would flow into the hero's mouth, leaving nothing behind.
It didn't take long for her to realize that the other party was using an extremely high level of True Qi Kung Fu to control the surrounding dishes. He skinned and removed the bones, cleaned the seasonings, and completed the highly efficient eating process. He could actually turn eating into an assembly line operation. She could only feel ashamed of her inferiority.
As for the other four people who accompanied him to eat, only one was left to accompany him …
The other three were stunned. Only Qiao Anping was very happy to see Vigilante A eating to his heart's content. According to the customs of the Northern Lands, the more a guest ate, the more it meant that the guest was giving face to them and did not treat them as outsiders.
Therefore, he kept asking the staff to hurry the dishes and repeatedly said that they must let this great benefactor eat and drink to his heart's content …
The customers at the other tables had long since stopped eating. Now, this table was the only one left, and it looked like it was going to turn into an assembly line …
Hai Lan watched for a while and realized that Vigilante A was not pretending to be polite. After Qiao Anping said that he would let him eat and drink to his heart's content, he obviously took it seriously and really did eat and drink to his heart's content.
At this time, in the kitchen, a staff was rushing them with a head full of sweat, "Hurry up, the hero's sixtieth dish is gone again."
'Fang Ning' was extremely fast, so fast that it was almost invisible to the naked eye. After working for so long, everyone was a little tired. Fortunately, there were enough people in reserve, so they could take turns, so they could still recover.
He was the only one who did not have to do anything. He had been doing it alone, and every move was as precise as a robot, accurate and fast. They could only sigh at the fact that superhumans were still superhumans.
Soon, another plate was ready, and the staff quickly carried it away.
At this time, someone suddenly said, "It seems that the prepared ingredients are not enough, and there are medicinal ingredients."
"Then let's quickly report to the vice president …"
Qiao Anping quickly received the report. He stood up and excused himself to Vigilante A, then went to a secluded area and said directly, "This is easy, I'll sign it, and you can go to the reserve warehouse to collect it."
At this time, a staff said with some difficulty, "The expenses for this banquet have been specially approved by the academy committee. The cost is very high, I'm afraid …"
Hearing this, Qiao Anping was a little unhappy, "That hero solved such a big problem for us, and it's his first time being a guest in my territory. If I let the hero go home hungry, how can I, Qiao Anping, keep my reputation? Money is nothing, put it on my personal account! "
The staff was still troubled, "But he eats a lot of things that can't be bought outside, they're all specially provided by us."
Qiao Anping said, "You're such a long-winded person, I'll give Elder Xu a call and get his approval."
As he said this, Qiao Anping dialed Elder Xu's number and explained the situation.
Obviously, Elder Xu also did not understand Vigilante A's true appetite, so he said cheerfully, "That's easy, we'll do as you say, Anping. I'll just mention it to them in the meeting later."
Naturally, Elder Xu agreed readily. Firstly, the other party had resolved a major incident at the Academy of Special Training and did not make things difficult for him. Secondly, the other party had conveniently saved his good-for-nothing son. How could he not agree when it came to both public and private matters?
With the president's personal instructions, the staff immediately took Qiao Anping's signature and went to the warehouse to transfer the items.
Immediately, a large amount of food was transported from the kitchen, along with the corresponding herbs, for the God Chef to make non-stop.
When Vigilante A reached the tenth table, the people who were waiting for the banquet to end and the gifts to go back to sleep were completely blinded …
Hai Lan was already full, so she quietly walked to another table and tapped Qiao Zijiang's shoulder.
Qiao Zijiang stood up and walked out with her, "Aunt Lan, you want to ask when he's going to finish eating, right?"
Hai Lan nodded. As she spoke, she already had a bad feeling in her heart, 'This Vigilante A didn't show up earlier or later, he just had to show up at the time of the meal.'
Furthermore, 'Fang Ning' was a big boss, yet he agreed so readily to her request to cook for him, and even asked for more than 20 people in advance.
Connecting the dots, it seemed that 'Fang Ning' had a deep understanding of this True Dragon, and was also very confident in his culinary skills. He was confident that as long as he cooked, 'Fang Ning' would be able to sense it if he was nearby. 'He's using the Truth Department's location and ingredients to repay his kindness …'
Actually, it did not matter. They needed to thank 'Fang Ning' properly anyway. Although the ingredients for this meal were expensive, they were only enough for 30 to 50 people, so it did not matter if they used all of it.
However, there was still Qiao Anping, who was always generous and never worried about finances, so things were obviously slipping towards the abyss …
At the end of the day, her brain was not as good as Qiao Zijiang's. She only realized that 'Fang Ning' knew all of this in advance when she saw the truth. Although she knew from the information that 'Vigilante A' had a huge appetite, she did not think much of it. That was because she had a huge appetite too. Every combatant had a huge appetite, but she did not know that 'Fang Ning's' appetite was measured by a dragon's standard …
Qiao Zijiang saw that Hai Lan's face was already showing signs of regret, and said helplessly, "I met him once when I went to Qi City, and I investigated him after that. He didn't eat much, only once every ten days or half a month. But when he started eating, he would usually start at night and eat until dawn … He could eat more than a million yuan just from the medicinal cuisine made from the ingredients and medicinal herbs sold in the market outside. Now that he's met with our academy's specially-provided food, and with a generous person like my uncle advising him to eat, I wouldn't be surprised if he ate for two days and two nights … "
Hai Lan inhaled sharply, "If the academy's specially-provided ingredients and herbs were to be sold outside, you might not be able to buy them even if you offered ten or a hundred times the price."
Qiao Zijiang said, "Yeah, it looks like he's planning on eating a hundred million from us for this meal …"
Another table was quickly filled, and Hai Lan was starting to hate 'Fang Ning' for agreeing to cook personally. If it was someone else cooking, 'Fang Ning' would not have such a good appetite …
Now, she could only hope that 'Fang Ning' was too tired to move. Thinking of this, she found a staff member who was serving the dishes and asked about it.
The staff member scratched his head and said, "Minister Hai, he's quite energetic. He's a superpower user after all, he's the only one who doesn't seem to have any energy at all."
The two women looked at each other, and their only hope was nipped in the bud.
Fortunately, when Vigilante A was on his hundredth dish, the chef personally brought out a whole roasted cow.
Hai Lan let out a huge sigh of relief, "Good, looks like this is the finale."
Qiao Zijiang said, "Not necessarily …"
After 'Fang Ning' ordered the roasted cow to be brought to Vigilante A's table, the moment he put down the rack, a fragrant aroma instantly filled the entire mountain top.
However, the people who had already eaten their fill could only sigh at the sight of the cow. Only Qiao Zishan and the others let out a sigh of relief. Now, they could finally eat something.
However, in the next moment, they fell into despair.
All they saw was Vigilante A nodding at 'Fang Ning' before opening his mouth wide at the roasted cow …
No one could see clearly what happened, but in the end, the whole roasted cow suddenly disappeared from the rack, leaving only the residual smell of oil on the rack as a hint of what had been there before.
"Thank you for enjoying my cooking, great hero. In order to thank you for saving my life, I hereby announce that in the future, all food will be sold at cost price. Here's a card with a small amount of thirty million. Please don't think it's too little, great hero. Please don't reject it. "
As he spoke, 'Fang Ning' took out a gold card with a password on it.
Vigilante A nodded and said, "Mm, you're not bad. As expected of someone who comes from a simple and honest place, you know how to repay kindness."
As soon as he finished speaking, the gold card immediately flew from 'Fang Ning's' hand into his own.
At this moment, the people who were attending the banquet immediately understood. Actually, they all wanted to thank Vigilante A properly, but they all wanted to invite him in private so that they could use this opportunity to express their gratitude and build a friendship.
Now that someone had stepped up, they couldn't hide it anymore. No matter how you looked at it, with their wealth, they couldn't afford to be a coward.
Not long after, the club members all expressed their gratitude fiercely. Every number that came out was enough to make a normal person speechless.
Hai Lan thought that the banquet should be coming to an end.
At this moment, she heard a voice. It was Qiao Anping speaking again, "Great hero, are you done eating? Should I ask them to bring more?"
Everyone else would definitely say that it was enough, and then the banquet would really come to an end.
