Chapter 152 Shrinkflation Taken To Another Level
[what an idiot.] hervy said to the rest of lion's liver, fenwick, and james.
hearing hervy's words, they nodded in agreement.
lucian looked at the butler, yawned, and began filling the popcorn buckets.
in a few seconds, twenty popcorn buckets were filled with freshly popped popcorn. golden steam rose from the buckets, eliciting audible gulps from the crowd. however, if one looked closer at their hungry faces, it was possible to see their eyes were twitching and their brows were furrowed.
the reason for such weird expressions was simple. lucian was too shameless. he took shrinkflation to a whole other level. one serving of popcorn was divided into twenty popcorn buckets. each bucket only had roughly ten popcorn.
to say they were annoyed was an understatement.
the butler peng ting was the most furious; not only was he mocked in front of countless people, but he was ignored, and now witnessing lucian's shamelessness was too much.
"brat, don't you know shame? those popcorn buckets have merely ten or so popcorn!" peng ting yelled at him.
lucian turned in the direction of the blabbering idiot and indifferently explained, "sir, i am an honest chef. please do not ruin my good name. if you want someone to blame, then blame the manufacturer of these popcorn buckets. i told them to make small popcorn bags, not extra-large buckets. most importantly, i am not forcing you to purchase my food."nôv(el)b\\jnn
[how am i being blamed?] the system said in an offended tone.
peng ting coldly snorted, "brat, what 'honest chef'?" stay tuned for updates on empire
he then pointed at the popcorn bucket in lily's hands and continued, "how do you explain that? why can she have a full bucket of popcorn?"
"because she's different from you random nobodies. now order if you want or don't." lucian shrugged.
after that, lucian no longer paid attention to the butler. [lily, now that you are done eating, please start advertising and selling the garlic butter and herb popcorn. they are priced at 75 gold coins.]
in fact, they added a slight spiciness to the buttery garlic dish.
"wow. it's delicious! only an idiot wouldn't purchase such a heavenly dish! james praised, even calling the people in the crowd idiots for not purchasing the popcorn. only after he said that he turned in the butler's direction and replied, "of course not. do i look like you?"
instantly peng ting's face turned red from anger.
"tch, why did i even bother?" he muttered to himself out loud. "if an idiot wants to waste his money, let him."
"lord butler, you shouldn't bother yourself with them." a young man with a lizard tail said kindly then pointed to lucian and lily, then to garrett and the rest. "the vendor and this weird old woman hiding behind a mask are with this group."
hearing this, peng ting and the others who did not know such information were stunned before they exploded out in profanities.
"so these bastards are con artists."
"no wonder that beer-bellied shifty-eyed man bought his outrageously priced popcorn."
"oi, which bastard's son called this young master a con artist?" hervy snorted. "if you have the balls, step out of line."
an old man, a couple of dozen feet away, stiffened when he heard his word, but after a while, sneered and remained quiet. he would be an idiot if he stepped out of line. he would have to go to the end.
[lily, ignore them. there will be countless people like them on our journey. you shouldn't bother yourself with nobodies.] lucian affectionately said after noticing she had not served the other bucket.
lily, who had been mad at hearing their accusations, blushed when she heard 'our journey'.
lily then handed the bucket of popcorn to her uncle and took the payment into her spatial ring. she would give the gold coins to her big brother lucian after she was finished serving.
two buckets at a time were handed out until everyone lily arrived with was happily enjoying the popcorn.
