The end of the world: I am linked to a mobile lottery store

Chapter 503 The Gang of Five?
Seeing this, Lu Li exclaimed, "Oh, the Gang of Four has become a Gang of Five?"

Zhang Ye smiled sheepishly; food was precious these days, and he hadn't really wanted to come.

But Old Shen insisted on bringing him here, saying that seeing Lu Li would remind her of the research institute, which would help the bank be established.

He couldn't refuse the elderly Mr. Shen, so he had no choice but to come along.

He Luo smiled shamelessly, "Where is the Sichuan restaurant? I didn't eat lunch, so I came here specifically for this meal."

Lu Li rolled her eyes at him, but didn't care; they were all old acquaintances.

She pointed to the huge, incredibly bright red bell pepper outside, "Look."

The five of them looked out in the direction she was pointing and were all stunned by the giant bell pepper.

It's so big! I didn't even notice when we left the base, but now that I'm up close, it's truly breathtaking!
There was a feeling that it might collapse at any moment and crush them.

Zhang Ye usually had a lot of contact with mutated plants, and he felt that the bell pepper might open its mouth at any moment and eat them up in one bite.

He dared not look any longer, his gaze falling on the lucky cat statue not far away, which calmed him down a bit.

Elder Shen and the others looked away, and Liu Peng said, "Your outfits... are getting more and more impressive."

He Luo nodded in deep agreement. First it was a giant milk tea, then a huge apple, and now it's a giant bell pepper.

I thought I would get used to it, but when I saw it, I couldn't help but be shocked, surprised, and stare.

Lu Li raised her chin and said arrogantly, "Of course, let's go eat. I asked her to reserve a private room."

While Shen Bing and the others were still busy, Lu Li led Shen Lao Wu and the others over first. As soon as they entered, they were greeted by a wave of heat and the lively atmosphere of cooking.

It was as if everyone had been transported back to the civilized era, meeting up with a few friends to go out to eat.

"Wow, this is what it looks like inside? I thought it would be bell pepper stools and tables," He Luo exclaimed, looking around in amazement.

Lu Li imagined the scene He Luo described and couldn't help but get goosebumps. Bell pepper-shaped stools and tables? Could a human even come up with that?

"Wow, you really have a vivid imagination!" Lu Li praised him in a sarcastic tone, mimicking his manner.

He Luo shrugged helplessly and decided not to argue with her.

Lu Li wasn't watching Chen Zhiyu at the front desk; she guessed he was busy there. She led them to a private room on the third floor, which had a very good location.

Opening the window reveals the lottery shop, along with two rows of shops stretching downwards, each with its own unique characteristics and style.

The constant flow of people and their chatter created a sense of peaceful prosperity.

Old Shen stood by the window for a long time until Lu Li called him after ordering the food, at which point he came back to his senses and strolled back to his seat.

He gave Lu Li a meaningful look, but Lu Li was still chatting with He Luo and didn't notice Shen Lao's gaze.

Soon, a table full of dishes was served. This private room was the largest on the third floor, and the table was also very large. Luckily, there was a wooden turntable on it, otherwise it would have been impossible to reach the dishes on the other side.

As soon as the dishes were served, they immediately attracted the attention of Elder Shen and the others.

Liu Yu smacked his lips twice, his Adam's apple bobbing, he was getting impatient, but thinking that everyone hadn't arrived yet, he had to press his left hand against his right.

Be ruthless, keep your mouth shut, don't rush me.

Xiao Peng exclaimed, "It looks so authentic!"

Lu Li said proudly, "Of course! Otherwise, how could they dare to call themselves a Sichuan restaurant? Never mind, let's not wait for them, let's eat first."

Zhang Ye was a little embarrassed. How could he not wait for the host when he was a guest in someone else's house? Just as he was about to decline, he saw that Old Shen and the others had already picked up their bowls.

It was a bowl overflowing with rice. Even though it was overflowing, they still piled on the rice with the dishes they wanted: bullfrog, spicy chicken, boiled fish, and spicy blood curd.

The wind and the remaining clouds.

Before Zhang Ye could even react, half of their bowl of rice was gone.

He immediately put those embarrassing thoughts aside, picked up his bowl, and joined the army of rice eaters.

I can't believe it, I haven't had rice in ages. It's so delicious! Every grain is plump and sweet, and it gets even sweeter the more you chew it.

The six of them were so engrossed in eating that they devoured most of the dishes on the table in no time, and still felt unsatisfied, so they continued to eat heartily.

When Shen Bing and the others arrived, they saw the six people engrossed in their meal, showing no interest in their arrival whatsoever. Luo Mu coughed heavily, but it did nothing to awaken their conscience.

"You're already eating?" Luo Muhao had no choice but to speak loudly.

This caught Lu Li's attention. She glanced at Luo Mu and said, "Yeah, you guys are all so busy, it's a bit hard to wait."

While Luo Mu was speaking, Shen Bing had already taken her seat. All the seats next to Lu Li were occupied, so she could only sit opposite her.

Luo Mu exclaimed, "Oh dear! No way! I was ready to come as soon as I saw the message."

Lu Li snorted twice, too lazy to argue with him anymore.

Everyone sat down one after another, but the dishes on the table were all leftovers. Lu Li waved her hand and ordered ten more dishes to make up for the previous ones.

It looks brand new now.

The first six people had almost finished eating, but they could still eat, though their enthusiasm wasn't what it used to be. Now they were chatting while eating.

Old Shen started his usual refrain, "Boss Lu, is there still no news from the bank?"

Lu Li felt a headache coming on at the mention of the word "bank," so she quickly put a dry pot shrimp on Shen Lao's plate, trying to shut him up with food.

If it were before Mr. Shen had eaten, he should have been able to block it.

But now, he's different. He's about 60-70% full, and his mind is clear. He doesn't even look at the dry pot shrimp; he only looks at the deer pear.

Lu Li had no choice but to ask the system, "System, is there any news from the bank?"

The system was speechless.

Lu Li was speechless and comforted Old Shen, "It will happen, it will happen, don't worry, it's just not the right time yet."

Mr. Shen really wanted to ask, when would be the right time?
But he still didn't ask. Maybe winning first prize also depends on timing, location, and luck. He lowered his head and ate the shrimp that Lu Li had given him. It was delicious!
When it's time to eat, just eat properly and don't talk about those ridiculous things.

He Luo knew this perfectly well. From the moment she started eating until she finished, she kept repeating the same few words: "Delicious, this is so delicious, this is delicious too!"

The others were similar, but each had a few more words.

"Hey, hey, don't turn the table! Let me get a spicy chicken first."

"Ouch, this is so spicy! You guys, ouch, don't you find it spicy?"

"I think so, so why are you still eating? Ugh... Stop eating, let me eat... Ugh..."

It's so spicy, yet you still want to eat it – that's the charm of Hunan and Sichuan cuisine.

The meal was enjoyed in a cheerful atmosphere, and everyone was drenched in sweat. Lu Li took small sips of cola through a straw to cool down her mouth.

Luo Mu drank large gulps of cola and finally felt less spicy.

But it was really fun.
