Dinner was at the most famous private restaurant in Beijing, which Old Madam Huo had booked long ago.
The chef at this restaurant comes from a family that served as imperial chefs, and the dishes are prepared to the exact standards of imperial banquets of the past.
Although the Ji family's chefs are good, they are far inferior.
It was the first time Qiqi had ever eaten something so delicious. She ate until her mouth was greasy and her stomach was rolling around.
After dinner, Madam Huo took them to the nearby night market.
Although it's called a night market, it's actually quite different from the traditional impression of it being dirty and chaotic; calling it a food street would be more accurate.
They sell hygienic and healthy food, so when Qiqi arrived, she felt like she had entered paradise, and her excitement was palpable.
Old Madam Huo asked Huo Yusen to take Qiqi shopping, while she and Madam Ji went to a nearby shopping mall to find a coffee shop to sit down and wait for them to return.
“Mom…” Qiqi looked up at Madam Ji, asking for her opinion.
With bodyguards accompanying her, and given Qiqi's exceptional skills, Madam Ji had nothing to worry about.
He nodded. "Go ahead, but don't eat too much."
Qiqi had already eaten a lot for dinner, and if she ate any more without restraint, she was worried that she would suffer from indigestion.
"Okay, thank you, Mom!"
Qiqi skipped and hopped away with Huo Yusen.
The little girl was very excited, chattering all the way, asking Huo Yusen what delicious snacks Beijing had to offer.
The little boy, who was usually indifferent to others, showed no impatience at this moment. He patiently answered the little girl's questions one by one, making her giggle non-stop.
Seeing the two little ones getting along so well, Madam Huo said warmly, "Let's go, we don't have as much energy as these little rascals. Let's go to the coffee shop and rest for a while."
"good."
On the food street, Huo Yusen introduced each shop to Qiqi.
When they arrived at a steakhouse, Qiqi immediately noticed a poster on the transparent shop window that read "Huge Challenge".
The specific challenge rules are as follows: challengers are required to eat a certain number of steak meals within a specified time to enjoy all the food in the restaurant for free and receive a prize of 1,000 yuan.
The little girl's big eyes darted around, pretending not to understand, and she turned to Huo Yusen, asking, "Brother Xiao Jiu, what does it say on there?"
Huo Yusen glanced at her suspiciously. The glint in the girl's eyes made him feel that she clearly knew what was on the poster, but was pretending not to know.
Although he couldn't understand why she did it, Huo Yusen still read the contents of the poster aloud, and then he saw Qiqi deliberately make an exaggerated expression of surprise.
Wow, this was tailor-made for me!
Qiqi excitedly grabbed Huo Yusen's arm, "Let's go, let's go, Brother Xiao Jiu, let's go challenge him!"
If you succeed in the challenge, you'll not only get free delicious food, but you'll also receive a prize to pay for the next round of food!
Killing two birds with one stone!
"But this challenge involves a lot of food; you have to finish it all. It's quite a large portion; you have to eat ten steak meals within forty minutes. You've already eaten a lot; can you still eat this much?"
Qiqi grinned, took an orange pill out of her bag, threw it into her mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it.
"You couldn't before, but you can now!"
The little girl's bulging belly made a "gurgling" sound after she finished speaking.
Huo Yusen immediately understood that what Qiqi had just eaten must have been a pill that promotes rapid digestion.
This little girl really went to great lengths to get a free meal.
There's no other way but to spoil them.
Huo Yusen maneuvered the wheelchair into the store. "Let's go!"
Qiqi skipped and hopped behind him, while Huo Fei and several bodyguards waited for them at the door.
When the shop owner saw the two children who came in, dressed in very elegant clothes, he immediately greeted them warmly, "Little friends, what would you like to eat?"
"Uncle, I want to participate in that challenge!" Qiqi pointed to the poster on the glass window.
The shop owner paused for a moment, then laughed, "Little girl, our challenge is very difficult. Many adults don't even succeed. You're so young, you definitely won't succeed."
"It's okay, I have a big appetite and can eat a lot!" Qiqi insisted with a smile.
The shop owner's eyes gleamed. This little lamb was delivered right to his doorstep; why not take advantage of it?
"Little girl, I need to remind you first, if you fail, you'll have to pay the full price!"
"Yes, no problem!"
"Alright then!" The shop owner nodded and handed Qiqi an agreement to sign. "Little girl, I must make this clear first. Challenges are risky. If you experience any discomfort due to your own forceful eating, our shop will not be responsible. So, before starting the challenge, you need to sign a waiver!"
"Okay, no problem!"
Qiqi picked up the pen, about to write, but then remembered that she was currently portrayed as a little illiterate, so she put the pen down. "Uncle, I can't write, can I just leave my fingerprint?"
"Can!"
The shop owner brought out inkpads, and Qiqi dipped her thumb into the inkpad before pressing it on the signature area.
"Can we start now?" Qiqi rubbed her hands together, eager to get started.
"Okay." The shop owner put away the waiver and turned to prepare the ingredients for Qiqi's challenge.
Huo Yusen led Qiqi to a table and they sat down.
This food street is very famous in Beijing, and many tourists from other places come here to eat.
It was late-night snack time, so there were quite a few passersby.
Some people saw Qiqi signing a waiver and guessed that they were going to take on a challenge. They were very curious that a little girl would participate in a competitive eating contest.
Despite being intimidated by the group of burly bodyguards at the entrance, they still entered the store in droves, eager to witness the spectacle up close.
"Little friends, which one do you want to challenge?" A social butterfly, seeing that Huo Yusen and Qiqi were two delicate and cute children, used her social skills to ask Qiqi directly.
Despite being stared at by so many people, Qiqi wasn't intimidated. Pointing to the poster in the glass window, she said crisply, "I want to challenge that one!"
Wow!
After glancing at the challenge rules displayed in the shop window, everyone gasped in shock.
This little girl is young, but she has big ambitions.
"Young lady, I've eaten here before. Their steak set meals are very generous. How big is your stomach? You can't possibly eat ten of them!"
Among the crowd, some kind-hearted people, worried that Qiqi and her friends might get hurt, advised, "Don't challenge yourself with this one. I know their store has other challenges. Why don't you try another one?"
"Thank you, Auntie, but no need, I can eat a lot. Ten steaks are nothing!"
The little girl has a lovely, fair face, and her loud tone doesn't come across as arrogant; instead, it creates an unexpected and endearing contrast.
Many people present couldn't help but want to steal the child!
