Two months later......

In Chaohan City, Zhang Shizhu has gradually become accustomed to everything here.

It's been two months since I left home. Ever since he was brought to the city by the man known as Manager Nian, he had finally entered a whole new world.

Manager Nian first let Zhang Shizhu taste all the food in this city, and these foods that he had never heard of or seen made him understand that the world was so vast.

Every one or two weeks, the manager asks him to change a food. Every time Zhang Shizhu tastes a new food, he can adapt to its taste as quickly as possible. Manager Nian felt more and more that they had really dug up a piece of treasure.

This Zhang Shizhu hardly needs to go through any kind of training, he is born with an appetite more than ten times greater than others, it can be said that he is a natural big stomach, and his jaw is strong and powerful.

He is a rising star in the Southern Association, and every time Manager Nian looks at him, it is like looking at a pile of gold!

What made them even more satisfied was that this young man never said much. His honest appearance can bring people an incomparable sense of security.

In addition to training, Zhang Shizhu likes to bathe in the cool breeze at night and watch the bright moon in the sky.

Near his dormitory, there was a small bridge, and he liked to stand on the empty bridge and watch the river glisten in the moonlight, wave after wave of never-ending ripples. The woods by the river are as quiet as sleeping trees, and the treetops stretching into the sky are covered with moonlight, emitting ripples like water.

There are also flying fireflies, which jump up and down in the night, and they fly back and forth like songs.

Whenever this happens, he thinks of his father'.......

On this day, Manager Nian called him to the office.

"Pillar, your stomach is in very good condition, so the training can be over, but your physical training can't be interrupted, and you still have to go to the gym every day. After Manager Yan finished speaking, he took out a piece of paper and put it in front of Zhang Shizhu: "In this form, all the restaurants in the city that can carry out the Big Stomach King Challenge." ”

Zhang Shizhu glanced at the table with his eyes, and it was so dense that he could barely count it.

"You mean I can go and challenge these tournaments?"

Manager Nian flicked the cigarette ash and nodded: "You're fine." ”

"These challenges should be regarded as a warm-up game for you, the main thing is to get used to the state of the competition, in any store, as long as you succeed in the challenge, the prize money is your own, if you fail, of course, the food money is also paid by yourself. ”

"Understood. ”

"Okay, then start tonight, choose one from here, and I'll accompany you!"

Zhang Shizhu read the paper from top to bottom: "That's it, mutton pilaf!"

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you at 7 p.m. ”

……

Next to this hotel, there is a construction site,

In the evening, many workers came to this restaurant to ask for two bottles of beer, a few strings of lamb kidneys, and a lamb pilaf, they were noisy and smoky, most of these workers wore slippers, and walked with a crackling sound.

Many of them gathered around a square table, and the men smoked cigarettes and chatted about the day, and there was a lot of dirty talking. Occasionally, there were one or two women, and the smoke rings they spit out rose and rose in the air, blurring people's vision.

In the scorching heat, the tables set up in front of the store occupy half of the street, and most of the customers who come to the store to eat are dragged with their families, or they don't like the noise and noise outside.

Zhang Shizhu and Manager Nian entered the store one after another.

The restaurant is divided into two large round tables and only a few small square tables.

Zhang Shizhu walked to the challenge notice first and read it carefully: "Eat three servings of mutton pilaf in six minutes, and the order is free of charge." If you eat six servings in 15 minutes, our store will reward 800 yuan. ”

Manager Nian has already ordered six servings of mutton pilaf for him. While they were waiting for their meal, a man came in through the door.

He also walked to the notice first and read it carefully.

After reading it, he said to himself: "Free of charge? Who wants to do the work that only exempts the order and does not make money?"

The back kitchen of the restaurant is starting to get busy. They never hosted two challengers at the same time, and the chefs were busy with 12 servings of lamb pilaf. Zhang Shizhu looked at the man's thin back curiously, and his confidence increased.

The challenges on both sides began almost simultaneously.

Zhang Shizhu took off his watch, put it in the upper left corner of the table, picked up the first lamb pilaf and began to devour it.

He didn't like to eat mutton since he was a child, because the smell of mutton made him feel disgusting, but the mutton pilaf here has no smell at all, and the fragrance is pure, and there is no unpleasant taste. Raisins are added to the rice, and the meat is fragrant and fruity, and the carrots and rice absorb the freshness of the meat, the sweetness of the raisins, and the rice and meat are mixed together with a very aftertaste, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it is. He thought it was a real treat.

He grew up and didn't eat lamb a few times. Now that he can not only eat openly, but also have the possibility of earning money, he is even more excited when he thinks about this. From time to time, he swept the back of another challenger with his peripheral vision.

The man's movements were very small, and his back looked as if his left hand was not moving much, while his right hand was quickly scooping the rice into his mouth, and Zhang Shizhu almost didn't see the person drinking water.

Through these two months of training, Zhang Shizhu understood that this person is likely to be a professional player. From time to time, Manager Nian's eyes also looked at the back of another challenger.

Ten minutes passed, and Zhang Shizhu finished eating three points.

He felt that there was no problem with this speed. He continued to eat at his own pace.

But when I finished the fourth serving. He didn't know if it was because the lamb in the pilaf was too greasy, or if the oil in your rice was too much, and he felt as if his stomach was wrapped in a thick layer of mutton fat.

He began to feel nauseous .......

The fifth bowl was even more difficult, he held back the vomiting sensation that came up again and again, and laboriously put a mouthful of food into his mouth,

At this moment, another challenger, raised his hand and shouted, "The boss has finished eating." ”

As he spoke, the young man next to him stopped the timer and shouted, "14 minutes and 58 seconds!"

Manager Nian and Zhang Shizhu raised their heads in unison when they heard this number.

Zhang Shizhu began to sweat, and this was his first challenge since the end of his training. He wanted to win no matter what, but for some reason, he felt like he was about to throw up.

The owner of the hotel walked over and asked the challenger, "What is your name?"

The man was slightly stunned and replied:

"Gong Yuze"
