Wang Fan is now a bit doubtful about life.

He seriously suspected that the two old men in Wang Zhi's room were actually Cheng Yaojin and Lu Zhishen in disguise.

He thought Wang Zhi was the main force for those 500 skewers of meat, but unexpectedly, this main force couldn't even get past the first wave and was already slumped over the table.

Then, the two old men, in their seventies, were arm wrestling, playing games, drinking heavily, and eating a lot.

Are these supposed to be the scholarly people taught by Confucius?

But thanks to these two, today's mission is considered accomplished.

Just wondering if tomorrow will go as smoothly?

The two old men in Wang Zhi's room should be satisfied by now, surrounded by their grandmother, grandchildren, and daughter-in-law, heading towards the cable car.

The two old men, arm in arm, clearly enjoyed their meal, and there's a faint sound of them planning to gather again in the evening for some beer.

Wang Fan's heart raised a big "respect".

"Get me 20 more skewers of meat, quick!"

Wang Fan was startled and turned towards the voice, and it turned out to be Wang Zhi, who had suddenly perked up at some point.

"Aren't you drunk? How did you sober up so quickly?"

Wang Zhi rolled his eyes: "If I don't pretend to be drunk, how can I escape this ordeal? My dad and father-in-law can drink over three jin each, I can barely handle a jin and a half, how can I drink with them? Hurry and grill some meat, I didn't dare to eat much earlier, I'm starving."

Laughing and crying, Wang Fan opened the electric grill and put another 50 skewers on it, conveniently solving his own lunch problem too.

While Wang Fan was grilling, Wang Zhi went back to the store to grab some thin pancakes. When the meat was ready, he placed the skewers on the pancake, rolled them up, slid the lamb into the pancake, added scallions, and happily started eating.

Wang Fan watched Wang Zhi eat the pancake and felt something was off.

Watching, Wang Fan suddenly spoke up: "Boss Wang, do you mind if I take a pancake?"

Wang Zhi was enjoying his pancake wrapped with grilled lamb, the fresh lamb paired with spicy, crisp scallions, and the fragrant pancake was just as good as delicacies.

Hearing what Wang Fan said, he replied generously: "Just take one, it's just a pancake."

Wang Fan picked up a pancake and weighed it in his hand; it was still warm and a little hot to the touch.

He didn't wrap anything, just brought it to his mouth and took a bite.

To his surprise, the pancake was not as hard to bite as before, and he easily ate a piece. The pancake was chewy, but compared to the previous one, it wasn't in the same league!

Wang Fan curiously examined the pancake, which looked the same as the previous one, with no color difference, and similar thickness; the only difference was probably the temperature?

"Boss Wang, is it best to eat these pancakes while they're hot?"

Wang Zhi confirmed: "Exactly, they taste best when freshly baked. When they cool down, they get hard, and if left for long, they become very tough."

Wang Fan was immediately angry: "Old Wang, you tricked me with cold pancakes on my first day here, right?!"

"Hmm?"

Hearing Wang Fan's shout, Wang Zhi snapped back to his senses, realizing he had slipped.

Looking a bit embarrassed: "Uh...I made too many pancakes before, they weren't spoiled, couldn't just throw them away, wasting is shameful."

Wang Fan touched the big lump on the back of his head that still hadn't gone down and pointed accusingly at Boss Wang, too angry to speak.

At this moment, a weak voice suddenly came from outside.

"Damn...I finally...finally made it up here alive!"

"Boss Wang...is Boss Wang here?"

Wang Zhi quickly responded: "Here, here."

Saying that, he ran out with the pancake.

Li Wei looked up and saw Boss Wang running out, feeling utterly baffled.

He was truly devastated, wasn't Boss Wang supposed to be at Mount Tai? But this clearly wasn't Boss Wang!

Accompanying him were two others, one was Feng Haoyu, and the other was He Chenhui, whom they'd met when getting off the plane.

He Chenhui whispered to Feng Haoyu: "Bro, weren't they saying the young Boss Wang was supposed to be young and handsome? This guy...is neither young nor handsome, is he?"

Feng Haoyu laughed bitterly and explained: "Do you want the good news or bad news first?"

He Chenhui said: "Let's hear the good news first, I guess?"

"The good news is that this isn't the young Boss Wang."

"And the bad news?"

"The bad news is that the information we got might be false, the young Boss Wang isn't here!"

"Huh?"

He Chenhui's mouth gaped wide enough to fit a fist: "So I climbed for six hours for nothing?!"

Li Wei was also very disappointed when he saw the old Boss Wang, looking up at the sign and asking despairingly: "Is this skewer shop yours?"

The old Boss Wang shook his head: "No."

He then turned back and shouted to Wang Fan: "Young Boss Wang, someone's looking for you."

"Young Boss Wang?"

Upon hearing the shout, the three of them shivered; there really was a young Boss Wang?

Wang Fan heard the voice and came out, seeing Li Wei and Feng Haoyu and started laughing: "What brings you two here?"

Seeing Wang Fan, Li Wei was so excited, almost wanting to rush over and hug him: "My dear Brother Wang, luckily you're here. If I couldn't see you after climbing for over six hours, I'd have cried right here."

Wang Fan laughed: "Come in, come in, it's cold outside. You might catch a cold."

After the six-hour climb, Li Wei and the other two were sweating all over, steaming like they had reached enlightenment.

The shop was very warm, and once inside, the three of them took off their down jackets because it was so hot.

Wang Fan got them three cups of hot water. After gulping it down, Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Don't mention it, Brother Wang, this is all your fault. Eating your steamed buns a few times last year left me restless day and night. Now that you've gone, I feel like I've lost my soul. I heard you came to Mount Tai, so I rushed right over. Just wanted to taste your cooking again."

Feng Haoyu said: "I'm pretty much the same, it was me who asked Li Wei out last night. This buddy, He Chenhui, also came here because of your reputation, we climbed the mountain together."

Wang Fan nodded towards He Chenhui and then smiled: "Thank you so much, you really came to support me. Make yourselves comfortable, I'll grill some skewers for you now, today's meal is on me."

The task was complete; these three had supported him so much, he had to show his appreciation.

Li Wei licked his lips: "But Brother Wang, you're going to spend a fortune. After climbing for six hours, my stomach is empty."

Wang Fan opened the ingredients cooler, showing over 400 lamb skewers, and said: "Eat to your heart's content. Can the three of you really finish all these?"
