Chapter 161: Chapter 161: The Storyteller, Old Liao

"""

And quickly from inside the house came the owner’s reluctant complaint: "What are you shouting about, who’s so excited? Could it be that the God of Wealth has come?"

The owner was yawning as he walked out.

Looking at him, he must have been sleeping inside because business was slow!

However, when he saw Ye Chen, his sleepy eyes instantly widened.

He yelled, "Holy crap! Isn’t that Teacher Ye Chen?"

His excitement and astonishment were no less than the landlady’s!

Normally, when a customer enters, the owner should be hospitable.

But who would have guessed.

The owner directly pulled Ye Chen to sit down at a table inside the restaurant.

The landlady, who always complained about the owner not being in the kitchen making skewers, didn’t say anything this time either.

She chose to stand behind the owner.

This made Ye Chen feel even more awkward.

He was just about to ask what dishes the owner had.

But the owner and landlady spoke up first.

"No wonder people call you Teacher Ye Chen, you really have talent!"

"Teacher Ye, weren’t you scared when you caught that ten-meter-long giant python?"

"We were almost scared to death watching your livestream this morning!"

"You wouldn’t know, in the afternoon a group of customers came, and when I told them you like to come here to eat with these old fishing guys, they didn’t believe it and said I was bragging!"

"No way, Teacher Ye Chen, you don’t know, since you caught that giant python, probably the whole Hua Country will recognize you!"

"Teacher Ye, how heavy was that giant python?"

"Teacher Ye probably doesn’t know, but I’d say, it must be at least 500 pounds!"

"Right, didn’t the property manager give you a villa? Did you go see it? How big is it in square meters?"

Before Ye Chen could speak, the couple started chattering non-stop.

At this time, Ye Chen understood.

It turns out that the barbecue restaurant’s owner and landlady had also seen his python fishing livestream or video.

According to them, he was now so famous that almost everyone in Hua Country knew him.

Then if...

Tomorrow I catch that Tang dynasty blue and white porcelain?

Ye Chen could only force a smile in response.

The old men sitting nearby couldn’t take it anymore and hurriedly spoke up.

"Owner, landlady, let’s order some food first, we can talk while we eat!"

"That’s right, Teacher Ye isn’t going anywhere; we’re starving!"

"Owner, landlady, you two can’t neglect your business, either!"

...

As the crowd spoke.

As Ye Chen expected, the owner, who was usually henpecked, was glared at by the landlady and then obediently went to get the menu.

Only the landlady and Ye Chen and others were left sitting at the table, with the landlady particularly eager to hear how Ye Chen managed to fish up the giant python.

Of course, Ye Chen didn’t say much.

Instead, the old men began to recount the thrilling scene of today’s python fishing.

They spoke with flying enthusiasm, incredibly excited.

Even Ye Chen had an illusion.

It was as if it wasn’t him who caught today’s giant python, but these elderly fishermen!

Since the weather was getting cooler, eating skewers didn’t seem too appropriate.

So, after a discussion, they decided to simply order a hot pot.

"""

BBQ is the focus in spring and summer, hotpot in autumn and winter.

This is also a strategy employed by many similar small shops.

When compared, the ingredients for hotpot are much simpler than for BBQ.

Who knows whether the boss had any intention of preparing the ingredients for Ye Chen and his group at all.

After being busy in the kitchen for about ten minutes, the boss served up the hotpot and laid some ingredients on the table.

And the boss himself brought over a stool and sat down beside the table.

Just like an ancient storyteller, these few old men exaggeratedly recounted today’s giant python fishing incident.

Now was old Liao’s time to perform.

"You guys didn’t see it, I was in the tower crane, watching everything clearly through the transparent glass!"

"I just heard a thunderous boom, and the water surface bubbled up like a boiling pot!"

"The next second, a giant python hundreds of meters long burst out from the bottom of the lake!"

"All the people in the neighborhood were scared shitless!"

"Who am I?"

"I’m known as ’Angry Iron Hand’ Liao! Of course, I’m not afraid of these things."

"I directly operated the mechanical arm, and the tower crane lifted Cui Ruogou out of the water!"

"Don’t look at that giant python as if it were a demon, but after all, it’s not a fish, it’s too cumbersome!"

"So it couldn’t leap high in the water!"

"But Cui Ruogou, this fool, had no clue!"

"That giant python in the lake, for some reason, set its sights on Cui Ruogou hanging from the crane hook."

"It opened its huge, fang-filled mouth, ready to swallow Cui Ruogou whole!"

"Cui Ruogou was so terrified he was screaming and howling like a banshee!"

"It wasn’t long before this guy rolled his eyes back..."

"Guess what happened?"

"He passed out from sheer terror!"

"This guy has no guts at all; he even had the nerve to say we old men were just putting on a show with Ye Chen!"

"Isn’t that bullshitting?"

"Besides, speaking of Ye Chen, the kid’s got some skills."

"He’s still not worthy of having ’Angry Iron Hand’ like me perform for him!"

"To be honest, if it were not for the people of Jinbao residential area inviting Ye Chen,"

"I would have gone fishing for that giant python!"

"It took Ye Chen almost three hours to get that giant python onto shore."

"If it were me, twenty minutes at most!"

The owner and his wife listened to the old man’s story like it was a storytelling session, and they were almost conned lame by old Liao’s tale.

As for Ye Chen, he glanced at Liao Xuexue secretly and whispered a complaint: "Kid, your grandpa is a true genius; he’s about to blow the ox into the sky!"

"When that python appeared, your grandpa was almost as scared as you and nearly peed himself!"

Hearing this, Xuexue’s pretty face flushed, and then she stretched out her fair little hand and fiercely pinched Ye Chen’s arm: "It was you who almost peed yourself!"

"Ouch!" Ye Chen cried out in pain and rubbed his arm.

Of course, the pinch Xuexue gave Ye Chen didn’t hurt much.

Ye Chen pursed his lips.

He thought to himself that this cheeky girl was getting bolder and bolder; previously she only argued with him.

Who would’ve thought that now she’d start getting physical?

At the dinner table, when everyone heard Ye Chen’s sudden cry of pain, they turned their gaze from the boasting old Liao to Ye Chen.

"Mr. Ye, what happened?"

Hearing this...
