Gourmet: Midnight Vending-Chapter 271 - 269: The Challenge Is Just a Front—Eating Is the Real Deal!

Chapter 271: Chapter 269: The Challenge Is Just a Front—Eating Is the Real Deal!

As the ancient saying goes: Food and sex, fundamental human desires.

Cao Tianrui felt like he had mastered human weaknesses, combining good food and beauty. With such a challenge, who could resist?

The little chefs appearing from the other end of the street once again, unsurprisingly, drew the onlookers’ attention.

The girls were all dressed in maid costumes, like chefs straight out of a comic book. Some were tall with a mature look, others were slightly shorter with a cute, youthful look, making it hard for anyone to take their eyes off them.

"What’s up with these girls coming here? Are they also here to participate in the challenge?"

"I could take them on, one punch each, they’re no match for me!"

"But why would you want to hit them?"

Soon, the participants’ confusion was cleared up by the event organizer, Cao Tianrui.

He had intentionally invited these little chefs from a friend’s companion-play shop to serve food to the challengers!

Hearing this, many people’s eyes lit up. Yang Hong, who was just saying he would do two free challenges with his wife’s weekly pass, was now crying out that he wanted to sign up for an annual pass, claiming he felt his health wasn’t great and he needed to work out.

Song Ya gave the love handles on his waist a 360-degree twist before Yang Hong calmed down a bit.

The spectators, who were still observing, now flocked to the registration counter at the entrance. Xiao Xin and his two friends, being insiders since earlier, had been waiting at the door for a while. All three of them signed up for a weekly pass, getting two free challenge opportunities.

"Who’s first up?"

"Xiao Xin should go first; he was just overwhelmed at the Yuan Dongli Fitness Center by the boss lady yesterday. Let’s see if he can withstand the temptations of these little chefs today."

Xiao Xin clenched his fists and took several deep breaths, "I’ve told you countless times, it wasn’t the boss lady who overwhelmed me, it was because Boss Xiao Chen’s barbecue was just too good. Why don’t you all believe me?"

Their two buddies turned their heads to see that they hadn’t ordered any food yet, and now the food truck was surrounded by over a dozen burly men, leaving no chance to place an order.

"Enough talk, what are you planning to challenge?"

Xiao Xin thought for a moment.

He had suffered doing pull-ups at the opposite gym yesterday, and he was definitely not picking that challenge again.

"I’ll just take a light run. We always do a five-kilometer warm-up, and Boss Cao dares to serve a skewer every hundred meters, that’s practically giving it away!"

Having said that, Xiao Xin registered and then went straight to the treadmill at the entrance. Seeing someone step up to challenge, others who felt shy to register started crowding to watch.

"I’ll just take on the treadmill challenge. Getting some free lamb skewers is fine."

"Bring on the food!" Cao Tianrui waved his hand, and Ma Juntao came over with a hundred lamb skewers in both hands.

A petite little chef took over about twenty skewers from Ma Juntao, smiling sweetly at Xiao Xin, "Ready, brother?"

"Let’s start."

Xiao Xin stretched his body and hopped onto the treadmill.

The challenge pace was okay; this jogging speed wouldn’t normally raise Xiao Xin’s heart rate. At the hundred-meter mark, Xiao Xin wasn’t even flushed or out of breath, tackling it with ease.

The little chef held a lamb skewer up to Xiao Xin’s mouth, "Here’s some meat, brother~"

Dang!

Xiao Xin’s two friends were so shocked their eyes almost bulged out of their heads. Not to mention anything else, just that term "brother" made the fifty-Yuan weekly pass worth every cent!

When they watch livestreams at home, even tipping female streamers fifty Yuan gets no acknowledgment from them.

Not only are they called "brother," but they also get hand-fed, and that fifty Yuan includes 25 Yuan worth of barbecue and a one-week gym membership!!!

The more they thought about it, the better the deal seemed.

Xiao Xin grinning widely, as he took the end of the skewer in his mouth, and the little chef gave it a hard pull!

The skewer stuffed with eight alternating pieces of lean and fatty meat simultaneously slipped into his mouth.

Yesterday at Original Power, Xiao Xin had challenged himself only with an oyster, but he hadn’t tried the skewered meat yet.

The usual chewing mode kicked in as he bit into the meat with ease.

"Hmm?"

A delicious aroma, the kind unique to barbecue, filled his senses. The slightly crispy exterior revealed a release of rich juices under the compression of his teeth, flowing through his mouth!

The fresh taste of lamb, the spice of cumin, with a hint of peppery heat.

"Crunch, crunch~"

How could it taste this good!

One bite into this skewer and it felt like he’d only ever had fake barbecue before.

On recollection, the old barbecues he’d had were merely spice vessels, devoid of any real meat flavor.

After just three chews, Xiao Xin swallowed the meat and glanced at the treadmill pace, feeling a bit anxious.

Such delicious meat, and he had to run a hundred meters to get it?

Accelerate!

What used to take 20 seconds for him to run a hundred meters now only took 15!

The little chef, mindful of him, passed another skewer.

No, no, crazy chewing meat, Xiao Xin felt this didn’t satisfy him.

The skewered meat was so delicious that it had to be devoured in large bites!

Go faster!

seconds!

This speed was almost equivalent to the top sprint speed for an average adult male.

Xiao Xin’s two buddies were dumbfounded, watching from the side.

"No, Xin, just keep running steadily; you can’t keep this up for long!"

"Yeah, Brother Xin, slow down. You’ve only eaten three skewers, and you’re already out of breath!"

Xiao Xin turned to look at them speechlessly, his mouth crammed with lamb, unable to speak, thinking, "You guys have no idea!"
