Chapter 289 Fang's Soup Dumplings (Part 3)



But anyone who knew that period knows it.

Although the Yang family was in the Lin family's territory, the Lin family, which was also one of the Eight Great Ancient Martial Arts Families, had never taken them seriously and even deliberately used them to train the younger generations of the Lin family.

The dispute between the two families directly led to the division of the ancient martial arts mecha divisions of the later Interstellar Federation into two major factions: the weapon faction and the non-weapon faction.

The weapon faction is composed of families like the Yang and Chen families that practice ancient martial arts using weapons, while the non-weapon faction is composed of the other six families including the Lin family.

Now, Lin Tao, a man with the surname Lin, has been following them for a long time. No wonder after admitting his surname was Lin, the other party would take the initiative to attack with a look of deep hatred and resentment.

Lin Tao smiled bitterly. This was something he had not expected.

Senior Brother Wei observed his expression and after a moment of shock, he asked, "Why, you are not from the Lin family?"

Lin Tao looked at him strangely for a while, then smiled bitterly and said, "At this point, do you still think I'm from the Lin family?"

Senior Brother Wei raised his eyebrows.

Cheng Bingfeng and Junior Sister Lu looked at each other. Only then did they feel that Lin Tao not only had no ill intentions, but also did not have the temperament of a child from a noble family. They immediately began to look a little embarrassed.

"You are..." Senior Brother Wei was puzzled.

"I just arrived on this planet and was looking for a place to stay, but I didn't expect you..." Lin Tao shrugged his shoulders. He didn't expect the other party to attack directly without even giving a reason.

This made Cheng Bingfeng and Junior Sister Lu even more embarrassed, and their heads were almost drooping to their chests.

"Since it is a misunderstanding, let me apologize to you on behalf of my fellow junior brothers and sisters. I hope Brother Lin Tao doesn't mind." Senior Brother Wei was quite frank.

Seeing Senior Brother Wei apologize, Junior Sister Lu, although thin-skinned, raised her head with a red face: "Brother Lin Tao, I misunderstood you first. If anyone needs to apologize, I should be the one to apologize."

"I'm sorry, Brother Lin Tao." Junior Sister Lu bowed deeply.

"Brother Lin Tao, we are sorry for you." Cheng Bingfeng also apologized quickly.

Lin Tao waved his hands and glanced at the three people in front of him without making any expression. Originally, Lin Tao had planned to take this opportunity to go to Yang's Martial Arts School with the three of them and then become their apprentice to learn martial arts. However, judging from the situation, although he and the three of them had resolved their grudges, the other party seemed not to have completely let go.

Forget it, I'll wait a few days before going to Yang's Martial Arts School in person.

"Since it was a misunderstanding, and the three of you have apologized, let's just forget about it." After Lin Tao finished speaking, he bowed to the three of them using ancient martial arts etiquette, then turned and left.

Lin Tao's ancient martial arts etiquette surprised the three of them, because only people who practiced ancient martial arts would be familiar with this kind of etiquette gesture.

It is very clear that Lin Tao is also a person who practices ancient martial arts.

"Strange, this guy has delicate skin and tender flesh, he doesn't look like a traditional Chinese martial artist at all." Junior Sister Lu whispered after Lin Tao walked away.

"Hmph! If Senior Brother Wei and Junior Sister Lu had not apologized, I would never have apologized so easily. How could such a coincidence happen for someone with the surname Lin and who knows ancient martial arts?" Cheng Bingfeng said in a humming voice.

Senior Brother Wei frowned slightly, but did not say anything. Seeing Lin Tao walking away, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's hurry up, otherwise it will be too late and the master will definitely punish us."

"Oh no! We will definitely be late for our return because of the delay caused by that guy named Lin." Upon hearing this, Junior Sister Lu screamed in shock.

Cheng Bingfeng also had a bitter face, because their master was extremely strict, and because of this little delay, they might have to do double the training.

That's a life-threatening thing.

The three of them hurriedly pushed the tricycle again and left quickly before dawn.

Lin Tao's facial features were enhanced, and even though he was far away, he could still hear what the three people said. He couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief and secretly thanked his luck.

It can be imagined that if he insisted on following the three of them, Senior Brother Wei would probably fight him.

Although these three people were no match for him, Lin Tao did not want to hurt them easily. He was still planning to learn the Yang family spear from the Yang family's people.

"Well, Yang's, Yang's, the current head of Yang's should be Yang Yanzong."

As Lin Tao walked, he thought about the name of the person in charge of Yang's Martial Arts School.

That’s right, it’s Yang Yanzong!

Lin Tao remembered that the leader of the Yang family who led a group of disciples to seize the Gat Star seemed to be called this name.

As we walked along, the sky began to become dim.

Some breakfast specialty stores appeared in the distance.

Unlike the planets that have been vigorously developed, Gat is now relatively backward in all aspects. There are even some open-air stalls and small snack shops. Not to mention the highly developed planets, even in the Mingyuan star field, such open-air stalls and small snack businesses are almost completely disappearing. After all, with the large-scale development of the consortium, how could they continue to use this unprofitable sales method?

However, this kind of small stall also has two advantages, that is, convenience and cheapness.

Lin Tao came to one of the open-air stalls.

Before he even sat down, the owner of the shop came up to him and took him to a table in the corner with a smile: "It's almost dawn, and there will be a lot of people coming here. If you sit too far forward, it might affect you."

Lin Tao was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Is there anything I can eat to fill my stomach?"

The shop owner was a burly man in his early thirties. He was startled when he heard Lin Tao's words: "Didn't you come here specifically to eat our Fang's buns?"

"Fang's steamed buns?" Lin Tao blinked, then looked around and saw an inconspicuous sign on the other side of the store that read 'Fang's steamed buns'.

Apparently, the steamed buns here seem to be quite famous.

"Judging from your appearance, this must be your first time here." The burly shop owner chuckled, "Rice porridge, dumplings, and steamed buns. We only have these three kinds of stuff at Fang's Steamed Buns. When it comes to filling your stomach, any one of them can fill your stomach."

Just after he finished speaking, he patted his chest and assured: "I'm not lying to you. Do you know why I brought you to this corner?"

Lin Tao was stunned and shook his head repeatedly.

"There are many people who come to buy our buns every day. I'm afraid that when there are too many people, you will be squeezed out of sight."

This kind of self-praising words made Lin Tao stunned for a while. He couldn't help but laugh in his heart: "It seems that I came early, so I should be able to catch up?"

"That's right." The burly shop owner showed no modesty at all.

"Then serve me some buns." Lin Tao nodded with a smile.

The buns came up, with only one in a basket. The basket was about the size of two palms, and the buns were stuffed inside, emitting hot steam. Looking at the whole thing, the buns looked very ordinary on top, but the bottom seemed to have collapsed, and the shape was extremely weird.

"Hey, it's soup dumplings?" Lin Tao recognized it at a glance.

Soup dumplings? Fang's dumplings?

In an instant, Lin Tao's mind buzzed, and he immediately thought of the origin of this store.

In later lives, before Lin Tao became an ancient martial arts mecha master, he was still wandering the streets, often having no food to eat. There happened to be a Fang's bun shop nearby.

Of course, in later generations, the storefronts alone were all quite large.

But whenever Lin Tao came across Fang's Dumpling Shop late at night, he would get a soup dumpling from them, which allowed him to fill his stomach.

It was not until Lin Tao joined the army and became a mecha commander that he rarely had the opportunity to taste this kind of buns due to training.

I really didn't expect that when I came here, I would see this kind of soup dumplings again, and it was Fang's soup dumplings.

Regardless of whether this is authentic Fang's soup dumplings, Lin Tao immediately developed a favorable impression of the burly shop owner in front of him.

However, since he had the chance to meet him, Lin Tao would naturally not eat just one or half a piece: "Give me ten more."

"Hmm? Ten?" The burly shop owner seemed a little unconvinced. He blinked and said, "You...how much did you say? Ten?"

"That's right." Lin Tao had just finished speaking when he picked up a tube from the table, inserted it into the folds on the top of the bun, and took a big sip without caring about the heat of the soup inside.

After taking a sip of the hot soup, Lin Tao's eyes suddenly brightened.

That’s right, this is the authentic Fang’s soup dumplings.

"Slow down." Lin Tao swallowed the soup with a gulp, turned his head quickly, and changed the subject: "Twenty."

"What?" The burly shop owner was dumbfounded.

At this time, a waiter in the store walked over quickly and said, "Hey, customer, normally one soup dumpling is enough to fill one's stomach, but you want to order twenty. Isn't that too wasteful?"

Seeing Lin Tao's puzzled look, he quickly apologized with a smile: "Besides, if you want to take it home to eat, you might as well eat it now, otherwise it will taste much worse once it gets cold."

The burly shop owner also nodded repeatedly.

"It's okay, I'll eat here." Lin Tao waved his hand without caring.

Seeing the two of them standing there in a daze, Lin Tao frowned and said, "Why, are you worried that I don't have enough money?" Then, Lin Tao asked about the price, "How much is each bun?"

"This...this..." The waiter was speechless, as if he had never met a customer like Lin Tao before, and he stood there in shock.

The burly shop owner frowned, and an idea came to his mind. He gritted his teeth and said, "Five hundred star coins, five hundred star coins for each!"

Five hundred star coins, twenty copies, naturally require ten thousand star coins, which is a considerable amount on Gat Star.

"Five hundred star coins?" Lin Tao didn't care. He clicked his watch a few times and ten thousand star coins were transferred.

Seeing that Lin Tao did not hesitate, the burly shop owner was dumbfounded again. On the Gat Star, Fang's soup dumplings were certainly not worth five hundred star coins each. He just quoted a high price so that Lin Tao would know how to give in. Unexpectedly, Lin Tao paid ten thousand star coins on the spot without even blinking an eye.

Since the bill had been paid and had been marked up, the burly owner had no choice but to ask his waiter to bring out twenty baskets of soup dumplings. At the same time, he stood aside, intending to see how Lin Tao would deal with the meal that was equivalent to the portion for twenty people.

To be honest, if Lin Tao just wanted to fill his stomach, these twenty soup dumplings might not be enough.

After strengthening his body with gene-enhancing drugs and having been hungry for a whole day in Etna, Lin Tao was afraid that he could eat twice the amount.
