After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 65

Chapter 65: Finish Eating Before Leaving
Qin Er remained silent, sitting on the sofa with a serious face, leaving the Qin family confused. Qin Nan and Qin Bei followed behind him, smiling and saying, “Second Elder Brother just failed the challenge for a free meal and had to pay for his own food, so he’s not happy now.”

After speaking, Qin Er glared at them and sulked with a drooping head.

After hearing the whole story, Grandma Qin understood.

This second child of theirs didn’t have any major flaws, but he was a bit money-minded, stingy, and always wanted to take advantage of others. Whenever he was asked to pay, he would be reluctant. He was like a mythical beast that only goes in and never comes out.

Now, he had originally gone to take advantage of a free meal, but instead, he lost money. It was no wonder he was unhappy.

Grandma Qin couldn’t understand why he was like this. The family didn’t lack food, and neither she nor his grandfather, parents were stingy people. Yet they ended up with a thrifty child.

She was about to say a few words to him when she didn’t expect Zhouzhou to hear the words “free meal” and immediately perk up her ears.

The memory of washing dishes all night after their first day down the mountain was still vivid in her mind.

When she heard that her Second Elder Brother went for a free meal, she immediately ran over and glanced at his hands, worriedly asking, “Did Second Elder Brother get caught and have to wash dishes?”

Qin Bei said, “He wanted to, but the boss didn’t agree.”

According to the rules, if the challenge is successful, the person can eat for free and even receive a gift. If they can’t finish the meal, they have to pay, just like a normal meal.

Qin Er failed the challenge and didn’t want to pay, so he offered to help with the work. But he was still young, and the boss didn’t want to be accused of employing child labor, so he refused.

Qin Er was upset about it the whole way.

“This time, it will take him a few days to get over it,” Qin Bei said with some schadenfreude.

Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up, “There’s free food to eat, and you can get gifts when you leave?”

Such a good deal?

“But you have to finish eating first, and the portion is huge. Many people who tried the challenge failed. You…”

Before Qin Bei could finish his sentence, he suddenly realized something and slapped his hand, “Wait a minute, Little cousin can eat a lot, right!”

Zhouzhou nodded repeatedly, “That’s right, I can eat a lot!”

“Second Elder Brother, where is this restaurant?” she asked.

She wanted to go.

She didn’t expect that there would be free lunch down the mountain.

They had all witnessed her appetite, even though she hadn’t tried it yet, Qin Bei believed that she could definitely succeed in the challenge.

Hearing the commotion, Qin Er also lifted his head and looked at Zhouzhou. The light in his eyes brightened again, and he stood up with a “swoosh,” holding her hand, ready to go. “Let’s go, I’ll take you there.”

Qin Nan and Qin Bei joined in, eager to join the fun.

“Hey…” Grandma Qin called out but couldn’t stop them. These kids, why were they so full of energy?

Especially Zhouzhou, after such a big commotion, even Qin Ren was tired, but she was still full of energy.

“It’s alright, let her go. She already had a nap on the plane earlier,” Qin Lie said.

Upon hearing this, Grandma Qin decided not to say anything.

A few people got into the car and went to the place they had just been to. The boss still remembered them and smiled, saying, “Little handsome guy, you’re here again? Who’s going to take the challenge this time?”

They smirked and pointed in one direction simultaneously, saying, “Her!”

Following their direction, the boss immediately saw a little bald girl. Looking further down, she was a soft and chubby little girl, resembling a snowball with fair and tender skin. Her eyes were big and shiny, looking at people innocently.

He laughed, “Kid, don’t joke around. Our portion is quite large, and children can’t finish it.”

He couldn’t bear to let the little girl eat either. She was so small, what if something went wrong?

However, to his surprise, Zhouzhou spoke up, “Uncle, I can do it!”

She seemed eager to give it a try, making the boss soften up a bit. He decided to play along with the child, “Alright, which challenge do you want to take?”

They had three options there: a timed version, where you had to finish within a certain time; a quantity-limited version, where you had to finish everything without time restrictions; and a combination of both, where you had to finish a larger portion within a shorter time. The difficulty was higher, but the rewards were more generous.

“The third one,” Qin Bei urged.

Zhouzhou didn’t object and said, “Okay, the third one.”

Wow, such ambition for a little girl.

The boss said, “Alright, the third one. If you fail the challenge, the rest of you can finish it together, but no wasting food, alright?”

“No problem,” Qin Er assured him.

The portion they had just witnessed was so large that even if he got full, he would still stuff it into his stomach. After all, he had paid for it, and wasting food was out of the question for him.

The children were all dressed in brand-name clothes and didn’t look like they lacked money, so the boss didn’t object. He served them according to the standards of the third challenge.

A big pot full of food, enough for two or three adults to eat.

“Little girl, don’t force yourself if you can’t finish it. Don’t worry, I’ll give you a 50% discount,” the boss said.

“I won’t fail,” Zhouzhou looked at the brimming pot, and her mouth was watering.

She was bragging.

The boss didn’t believe it and shook his head, “Then I’ll start the timer.”

“Okay.”

Zhouzhou took the chopsticks and, as soon as he said “start,” she began eating with her head down.

At first, the boss didn’t pay much attention. But after one minute, he looked at the visibly diminished pot, startled and full of disbelief when he saw Zhouzhou. His face was full of astonishment.

This restaurant was quite popular, and many people nearby also looked over, one by one, with surprise.

Could a little girl eat this much?

Zhouzhou ignored the gazes and continued eating. The thought of not having to pay and the possibility of receiving a gift made her extremely happy and motivated.

Compared to their astonishment, the Qin siblings were delighted, especially Qin Er. He looked at Zhouzhou as if he had found a treasure.

His little sister was reliable!

Two minutes later, Zhouzhou swallowed the last bite and looked up at the boss, asking, “Uncle, did I succeed in the challenge?”

“You did, you succeeded,” the boss looked at the empty pot and was not only impressed by her success but also by her speed. He originally set a time limit of thirty minutes, but she finished it in less than five minutes.

She was amazing!

He looked at Zhouzhou, and his gaze changed. “You did great, little girl. Uncle apologizes for underestimating you,” he said, arching his hand.

Zhouzhou smiled, “It’s okay.”

She patted her stomach and couldn’t help but lick her lips. She asked, “Uncle, can I continue the challenge?”

Surprised, the boss asked, “You can still eat?”

“Yes,” not only could she eat more, but she also raised two fleshy fingers and said, “I can eat two more pots.”

The Qin siblings nodded repeatedly.

That’s right, their little cousin had an incredible appetite!

The boss was taken aback, looking at the increasing crowd around them, he wasn’t stingy, “Alright, as long as you can finish it, no matter how many times you succeed, I’ll double the rewards!”

A little girl with a big appetite, this contrast was definitely attention-grabbing. As more people got attracted, he wouldn’t lose out either.

Thinking so, the boss happily brought another pot for her.

“Don’t rush, take your time. Your speed is absolutely enough,” Qin Er finally had a smile on his face. He took a tissue and wiped Zhouzhou’s mouth, saying.

Zhouzhou nodded, not surprised at all, and ate two more pots.

Within less than half an hour.

Everyone was astonished.

The boss asked, “Do you want to continue?”

Zhouzhou touched her belly, shook her head, and raised her thumbs, “Uncle, your portion is really generous.”

Well, it was only generous for those who took the challenge.

But the boss didn’t say that and looked at her with a shocked expression, “You have an impressive appetite.”

Zhouzhou also realized for the first time that her eating ability could come in handy. She was incredibly happy, unable to wipe the smile off her face.

While she was laughing, a voice suddenly came from the side, “Zhouzhou?”
