Gong Yuze took out his wallet from his trouser pocket, and carefully counted the money in it while getting up beside him, but he couldn't help but snort and laugh.

Even with zero, no more, no less, exactly 250 yuan! For Gong Yuze, this is not only a ridiculous number, but also means that the next days will not be easy.

Because there are still ten days left before payday.

He tried to figure out how to spend the ten days, but he forgot that he was staring at the takeout menu on the computer screen in front of him.

When he realized that his colleagues in the office had started to go out to lunch, he closed his gaze, his face looking unmistakable, unchangeable, and disdainful of any pleading. On the computer screen that was turned off, his own cheekbones protruded, his face with deep eyes, his black eyes full of indifferent firmness, and his lips closed with an arrogant and irreverent look.

It's not a big deal, from today onwards, you can just fill your stomach with bread and instant noodles.

Gong Yuze squeezed into the elevator with the crowd on his lunch break, while thinking about the distance from his company from the supermarket where he could buy bread and instant noodles.

It was a supermarket about a stop away from his company, and he stepped out of the office building and was hesitating on the road whether to wait for the bus or walk there.

He stood still, his hands hanging at his sides, palms facing outward, and he could feel the tightness of his shoulder blades, the curve of his neck, the flow of blood in his arms, and the wind passing behind him. The wind ruffled his hair.

He felt the wind and decided to walk to the supermarket.

Gong Yuze walked for less than three minutes, and suddenly noticed that there was a crowd in front of a small restaurant he used to frequent.

People didn't look like they were queuing, but gathered in front of the window of the small restaurant to point fingers, and Gong Yuze was about to stop, then shook his head again, because he remembered his destination.

But at this time, the chatter in the crowd reached his ears,

If you can eat eight servings of fish-flavored shredded pork rice within 30 minutes, the restaurant will reward you with 600 yuan. Another voice shouted, "Bafen?!, how can ordinary people eat it?"

"Of course you can't, but there seems to be a challenge in the store. ”

Gong Yuze involuntarily walked into the store with the people watching the excitement.

I heard the guy in the store shouting, "It's 10 minutes before it's over!"

Next to the young man, there was a big man in his early 20s, who looked to be in his early 20s, and I saw a big man here, holding a bowl in his left hand and chopsticks in his right hand, with his head down, frowning, and sending the rice into his mouth at a very fast speed. Gong Yuze couldn't see the young man's face clearly, but he could see that on his black jacket, there were several gold thread cursive words embroidered with 'Longhui Wrestling Club'.

It turned out that the challenger was a coach at a nearby wrestling club. Before those who watched the excitement came back to their senses, the big man had already put down the empty bowl in his hand and picked up another bowl of fish-flavored shredded pork rice bowl. As there is less and less time left, the mood is getting high. The challenger saw that he had finished six bowls of rice bowls, and his face was flushed and sweating profusely.

People couldn't see his eating, chewing, and swallowing movements at all, only his mouth kept opening and closing. The rice in the bowl decreases rapidly. His head was steaming hot, and his mouth was covered with grains of rice. At this time, Gong Yuze inadvertently saw the solemn face of the restaurant owner. The louder the cheers of the people, the more gloomy the boss's face seemed to be. Because if you eat at this rate, the challenger has a good chance of succeeding in getting the prize.

The seventh bowl was finished, and when the big man picked up the last bowl of donburi, there were still three minutes left. The people around him are still cheering him on.

Some people shouted, "Take out the speed you just had!" and others shouted the time. "1 minute 40 seconds. "1 minute and 35 seconds!" But it was discovered that the young man could no longer match the speed he had just made. He closed his eyebrows and swallowed a mouthful of rice with difficulty, and there was still half of it in the bowl.

"It's time!" the restaurant owner almost shouted.

Gong Yuze heard the boss's relieved mood from these three words.

The big man slowly stood up from his seat, he didn't look up, his hands propped up on the table, and he didn't move, and it lasted about three or four seconds before he pulled his wallet out of his coat. The young man of the hotel had already typed out the meal he should have paid on the calculator, and the big man had finished settling the bill, blushing, and walked out while taking off his coat, his huge figure disappearing from people's sight like a wall.

At this time, looking at the lively crowd, they were still laughing with each other, looking at the menu, and ordering their lunches.

"Well, why don't you take on a challenge?"

"What are you kidding? The wrestling coaches have failed. I'm even more useless!"

The young man in the shop was about to tear down the sign on the shop window as the boss instructed.

At this time, someone asked, "Boss, is this the end?"

The boss responded with a smile: "Yes, there are only four servings of fish-flavored shredded pork rice left, which is not enough for the guests to challenge." ”

At this time, I don't know who said: "Then fold it in half, eat four portions in 15 minutes, and give a bonus of 300."

The boss wiped his hands with an apron and asked the proposed person with a smile, "Do you want to give it a try?"

But the man touched his chin and lifted his glasses, and smiled embarrassedly: "Haha, I'll forget it, I'll talk about it." ”

At this time, Gong Yuze waved his hand at the boss: "Boss, I'll give it a try!"

In fact, when Gong Yuze heard someone propose to eat four servings in 15 minutes, he had already quickly started to fiddle with the little abacus in his heart.

Because I didn't eat breakfast today, I was hungry at this time, and my stomach was already rumbling vigorously, and it is estimated that it can be done by eating four rice bowls, which not only fills my stomach, but also gets a bonus of 300 yuan, isn't it the best of both worlds?

Before Gong Yuze's words fell, the eyes of everyone in the store were focused on him. People's eyes are like scans, looking up and down at this small, dark-skinned, emaciated challenger.

Everyone, you and I began to talk about it.

"Hey, man, are you alright? It's only 15 minutes. ”

"The coach who was so big just now failed, you ......"

Gong Yuze felt that he was surrounded by suspicion for a moment, and he realized that there was even a sudden resentment in these eyes.

The corner of the restaurant's mouth twitched, and he was about to speak, when he heard a voice from the door: "The amount of food has nothing to do with the size!"

Gong Yuze heard the prestige and saw a person striding into the store.

Against the light, the silhouette of this tall man was faintly visible against the entrance screen, the man's thick black hair poured down like a waterfall, his face was angular, and his figure was slender, although he was only wearing an old denim jacket and chinos trousers, but the gentlemanly smile made the small restaurant suddenly quiet,

The man nodded at the boss, and then said to the crowd, "Maybe this young man can do it." ”

At this time, the guy in the store had already brought two servings of fish-flavored shredded pork rice to Gong Yuze, took out the timer, and waved his hand down: "The timer begins!"

At the same time, Gong Yuze had already taken the first bite, and the smooth and refreshing fungus was accompanied by the smooth and soft shredded meat, and the mixed fragrance of green onions, ginger and garlic was really delicious!

Gong Yuze ate in a big gulp, and the people around him watched with relish, while the gentleman stood on the outermost layer, silent.

Three minutes later, Gong Yuze began the second portion! After eating a few bites, he felt thirsty and began to drink water, and every two or three sips he ate could drink a small half glass of water, at which point the cheering of the people began to become louder, so that he drowned out a tall gentleman's self-talk: "This way of eating, no fun." ”

Sure enough, when Gong Yuze ate for the third time, he already felt that his stomach was very supportive, he secretly gritted his teeth, and wanted to recover the original speed, but he couldn't swallow it anymore no matter what, he loosened his tie, and when he was about to stick to it, he remembered the boss's voice in his ears: "It's a pity, it's time!"

The young man walked over and said to Gong Yuze while cleaning up the plates: "Please settle the bill according to the rules, and challenge the loser to pay according to the actual number of servings eaten."

As soon as Gong Yuze took out 45 yuan, he heard the mobile phone ringing, and it was the department manager calling: "Xiao Gong, the lunch break has long passed, why haven't you come back yet?"

Gong Yuze hung up the phone, rushed out of the restaurant in a panic, and was passing by the tall gentleman when he went out, when he heard the man say loudly to the store: "Boss, I'll challenge this point tomorrow, prepare in advance!"
