But who is Joey? He downloaded an anti-fraud app before, so how could he fall for his trick?
(Any readers haven't downloaded it yet? If not, download it now! I've personally tested it and it works. Maybe it'll come in handy if I'm lucky enough to time travel someday!)
It's one thing to call him a handsome gentleman, but to go against his conscience and say that the bearded man is handsome is enough to show that this vendor is a habitual liar, and this adds another piece of evidence to the false advertising of the big meat bun.
"No need, we only need one. Please give us your change!"
Joey, dressed in smelly clothes, would normally have been ignored by the vendor, but the vendor's offer of a silver coin made him look at him with a newfound respect.
The bearded man beside him stared intently at the steamed bun basket, with the same expression Joey had when he admired Catherine's large breasts.
He didn't care about the change; he just wanted to eat the big meat bun he'd been craving as soon as possible.
"Here's your change: 90 copper coins. Please take it!"
The vendor reluctantly handed Joey his change, then lifted the lid of the steamer basket.
A wave of heat wafted over, and it had to be said that the aroma of this big meat bun was quite strong, making Joey, who had been wary, wonder if her experience had been wrong.
The sweltering heat dissipated only after the vendor took a bun out of a paper bag and quickly put the lid back on.
The bearded man took the paper bag from the vendor, and his previously excited face instantly fell.
That's it?
The bearded man held up the paper bag and shook it at the vendor.
"That's it!"
The vendors were clearly targeting newcomers and weren't thinking about repeat customers.
His attitude at this moment was completely different from before.
If he had just treated his customers like gods, now he was treating himself like a god.
"Is this the right portion? Isn't it supposed to be a large meat bun?"
Although the paper bag wasn't opened, the bearded man had the skill of using a scale, and he knew from the weight that this "big meat bun" was definitely a mini version.
He reached directly into the paper bag and grabbed something, but when he pulled his hand out, he couldn't find any steamed buns.
"Where are the steamed buns?"
Now it was Joey's turn to be full of questions. He just thought the bun was small, but he didn't expect it to be air.
He turned to look at the vendor, who, however, appeared completely self-righteous.
"Why are you looking at me like that? I already gave him a steamed bun, don't blame me!"
The vendor waved his hand around the steamer basket of buns, as if shooing away flies, but there were no flies at all; only Joey and the bearded man were still standing there.
"Joey!"
The bearded man suddenly called out "Joey," but there was no light in his eyes.
He opened his palm, and a "big meat bun" smaller than a xiaolongbao appeared in his hand.
It seems Joey just bought a small dumpling instead of a big meat bun.
The bearded man's other hand was clenched so tightly that his knuckles were cracking, indicating that he was truly angry.
"Calm down, bearded man, I already warned you beforehand!"
Joey didn't want the bearded man to cause trouble at this time. The two of them were newcomers, and the vendor dared to sell this castrated version of steamed buns without any fear, so he must have something to back him up.
Although the bearded man didn't know what a preventative shot was, Joey had already spoken, so he couldn't say anything more and could only tearfully throw the little dumpling into his mouth.
"Let's go, let's change our clothes first!"
Joey called out to the bearded man and then walked towards a clothing store ahead.
As the saying goes, "Clothes make the man," and even selling insurance requires formal attire!
The two of them look so unapproachable that people want to avoid them. They need to be thoroughly tidied up from head to toe, otherwise they really won't be able to survive in this town.
After all, both he and the bearded man were already somewhat wealthy, and they couldn't possibly embarrass the truly rich.
