Hearing Sun Erniang's curses, Hu Sanniang's face flushed red.
Wang Ying immediately became agitated: "Young lady! You've already married Li Huan?"
Hu Sanniang quickly said, "Don't talk nonsense! Li Huan and I are not husband and wife!"
Wang Ying breathed a sigh of relief and grinned, "Hehe, it's good that we're not husband and wife!"
"What good is that!" Sun Erniang retorted angrily. "They're stealing my customers, making me earn less money!"
Li Huan said, "You run your Xishan Hotel, and I'll set up my lunchbox stall. We'll each earn money based on our culinary skills. It's fair competition!"
Sun Erniang retorted, "Fairness? Lin Chong spent over two thousand taels of silver to buy your 106 boxed meals! But at my shop, his monthly wine expenses have never exceeded ten taels of silver! What kind of bullshit fairness is that?"
Li Huan looked at Lin Chong: "Baozitou, you're too stingy! Now that you're all alone, why are you saving money? Are you saving the stolen silver to get another wife?"
Upon hearing the news of getting married, a look of sorrow flashed in Lin Chong's eyes, followed by an angry rebuke.
"Don't slander me! Most of the silver I robbed was handed over to the Liangshan treasury or used to help the poor. How could I indulge in debauchery and lavish feasting, which would damage my reputation as Lin Chong?"
These words were spoken with righteous indignation and resounding power.
Li Huan thought to himself, "Although Lin Chong has done many wrong things, it is true that he helped the weak and poor."
Liu Tang advised, "Sun Erniang, don't be angry! If Wu Song loses, Lin Chong won't have to buy 106 boxed lunches!"
Sun Erniang said, "Do you think I'm stupid? If Wu Song wins, Lin Chong will buy 106 boxed lunches! If Wu Song loses, Lin Chong will get 106 boxed lunches for free!"
"Anyway, if these 106 boxed meals are distributed among the brothers, then who are we going to sell the wine and meat from my shop to today?"
Liu Tang glanced at Sun Erniang's half-open garden and smiled ambiguously.
"If we can't sell them all today, we'll save them for tomorrow! I've always loved Second Aunt's meat!"
"Pah!" Sun Erniang laughed and scolded, "That's nice to say! If you like it, buy ten catties today!"
Suddenly, Li Kui burst into wild laughter!
Wu Song had already drunk two and a half jin of Erguotou, but he was still not drunk!
He braced himself on the dining table with both hands, his eyes bloodshot, nostrils flared, and veins bulging on his forehead, as he struggled to hold on.
"The Mastermind" Jiang Jingqing cleared his throat and announced loudly.
"In this contest, Wu Song has won! Li Ying and Li Kui have won the silver!"
Li Kui was impatient and quickly asked Jiang Jing to settle the gambling debts, while Li Ying was also overjoyed.
The other Liangshan heroes either sighed, blamed Lu Zhishen, or praised Wu Song.
Li Huan picked up a stainless steel bowl, quickly filled it with "spicy soup," and personally fed it to Wu Song to help him sober up.
Wu Song was dizzy and, after finishing the "spicy soup," he lay on the table, panting heavily.
Yang Zhi, nicknamed "Blue-Faced Beast," couldn't help but exclaim, "I never expected that Erguotou would be so potent!"
Li Kui stuffed all the silver he had won into his pocket, sat down excitedly, and picked up a paper cup.
"Hahaha, I'm definitely going to drink a few more glasses of Erguotou!"
Li Kui tilted his head back and finished the wine in his cup, clicked his tongue a few times, and looked gratefully at Li Huan.
"Brother Li Huan, the boxed lunches you sell are delicious! I'll buy two more!"
Li Kui took out four silver ingots and generously handed them to Hu Sanniang.
"You damned Iron Ox!" Sun Erniang shrieked, "You won the money, but instead of buying me wine and meat, you're supporting outsiders. What kind of brother are you!"
Li Kui chuckled a few times, then took out another silver ingot and tossed it to Sun Erniang.
"This is the money I owe you for the drinks, along with the money Brother Li Huan spent on the cooked meat at the shop earlier. I'm paying it all off!"
Sun Erniang accepted the silver, her expression softening slightly.
Liu Tang shouted, "A bet is a bet! Brother Lin Chong, quickly buy 106 boxed meals and distribute them to all the leaders!"
Lin Chong looked embarrassed.
Yang Zhi urged, "Don't just stand there, hurry up and buy a boxed lunch, I want to try this Erguotou!"
The other Liangshan heroes who had lost their money also urged Lin Chong to buy them boxed lunches.
Lin Chong forced a smile, clasped his hands, and said, "Brothers, I, Lin Chong, will never break my word. I will go down the mountain now, rob a rich man or corrupt official who oppresses the people, seize his silver, and hurry back to Liangshan to buy lunch!"
Yang Zhi said, "By the time you rob the silver and return to Liangshan, your lunchbox will be cold!"
Li Kui swallowed the "tomato stewed beef brisket" in his mouth, pointed at Li Ying and said, "First, borrow two thousand taels of silver from Li Ying, buy boxed lunches to distribute to the brothers, and then go down the mountain to rob silver!"
Li Huan gave a thumbs-up, praising Li Kui.
Li Ying hurriedly said, "I am in charge of the granary, where would I get the money? Brother Lin Chong, quickly go find Master Chai, he is in charge of the treasury and is very generous."
Lin Chong frowned, hesitant.
Liu Tang shouted again, "Don't delay! The brothers are craving it, they can't wait!"
Lin Chong sighed helplessly, "Very well! Brothers, wait here while I go see Master Chai!"
After saying this, Lin Chong turned and left.
Li Ying sat opposite Li Kui, took out two silver ingots, and said with a smile, "Bring me a boxed lunch and some wine!"
Li Huan immediately served the food and rice, while Hu Sanniang opened a bottle of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) and placed it in front of Li Ying.
Suddenly, Sun Erniang kicked the dining table!
Hu Sanniang reacted extremely quickly, intercepting Sun Erniang's right foot and pushing her away with a backhand strike!
"Stop running wild!"
Hu Sanniang shouted angrily and glared at Sun Erniang.
"You dare to set up a food stall on my turf and fight back?"
Sun Erniang became even more enraged, lifted her red skirt and tucked it into her waistband, then swung her fist at Hu Sanniang!
In an instant, Wang Ying leaped up and blocked Sun Erniang.
"Short-legged Tiger! What are you doing?" Sun Erniang asked unhappily.
