Shocking! The entire court was drooling with envy because of me.

Seeing Wu Wendong's eyes widen in shock, Xue Buhuo smiled with satisfaction and put the gold back into his pocket.

"Young man, valuing clothes over people is not a good habit," Xue Buhuo said with a smile.

Wu Wendong couldn't help but curl his lip and mutter under his breath, "To be rich and still dress like this, it's outrageous..."

He didn't mean to look down on the old man at all; he just felt it wasn't a good place to beg for food and kindly reminded him.

Who would have thought that this old man was a hidden tycoon?

"Hey, I advise you to hurry up and join the queue. There are only 200 servings of the super spicy chicken noodles. If you're late, you won't even be able to get a turn." The chubby guy next to Xue Buhu broke the awkward atmosphere and reminded him.

Xue Buhuo's eyes widened: "Why not sell super spicy chicken noodles instead of perfectly good xiaolongbao? Xiaolongbao is so good, so fragrant. I've traveled all over the country and eaten so many delicacies, but only crystal xiaolongbao is unforgettable."

"That's because you haven't tried the super spicy fire chicken noodles. Once you do, you'll crave them forever," the chubby guy suddenly said.

Wu Wendong chimed in, "Yes, I also miss the fresh shrimp and fish cake noodles."

"Impossible! How could there be anything in this world that can compare to crystal xiaolongbao? Besides, the name 'Extra Spicy Fire Chicken Noodles' sounds unhealthy. It's as spicy as fire; one bite and your internal organs feel like they're burning. Over time, that person's health will be ruined!"

Xue Buhuo disapproved of eating spicy food. In his opinion, excessive spiciness was harmful to health and was not a good thing at all.

"If it's Lady Shen, I'm willing to get hurt!" the fat man said quietly.

Wu Wendong said somewhat speechlessly, "Madam Shen only sells each type of noodle for one day, and each person can only buy one bowl. Even if it's harmful to the body, how much harm can it cause?"

Moreover, he agreed with his older brother's statement; he was willing!

Xue Buhuo was stunned. Is this how business is done? It's even more capricious than the rules he follows when treating patients.

"I advise you to hurry up and join the queue, otherwise it will be too late to join later!" Wu Wendong said again.

Xue Buhuo's curiosity had already been piqued by what the two had said, but queuing? How could he, a dignified ghost doctor, possibly queue up?

He pulled out some gold from his pocket, weighed it in front of Wu Wendong, and said smugly, "This old man never queues."

With that, he took the gold and walked towards the front of the line.

Wu Wendong chuckled and shook his head.

Some things cannot be accomplished even with money.

Xue Buhu walked to the front of the line, waving two pieces of gold in his hands.

He glanced around casually and saw people eating while hissing and yelling that it was too spicy, but they were still eating.

Upon closer inspection, the noodles are golden-red, with seemingly little broth. Tiny specks of dark green seaweed are scattered on the noodles, along with a few scattered white sesame seeds.

It does smell delicious.

"I'll use these two pieces of gold to buy your place." Xue Buhuo made up his mind; he had to try it.

Just one bite is enough.

The diner at the front of the line glanced at the gold and then turned away, saying, "Not for sale."

"What?! This is gold, gold!!!"

"I said I'm not selling, take it now!"

"It's just a location, and you won't even sell it for two pieces of gold? Are you crazy??" Xue Buhuo was so shocked that his jaw dropped.

This is gold! Wherever he goes, if he takes out gold, everyone will bow and scrape before him.

Moreover, he was used to being carefree, spending gold recklessly and taking it out whenever he was happy, so he would occasionally be penniless for a period of time.

But today is really strange; there are actually people who don't buy into the gold.

"No, no, we're not selling! We can always get gold later, but you won't be able to eat this super spicy chicken noodle soup after today!"

The customer at the front of the table tearfully refused. Of course he wanted the gold, but he wanted the super spicy fire chicken noodles even more!

Xue Buhuo frowned deeply, and then turned to the second-ranked diner.

"Then I'll buy your seat!"

He refused to believe that these people could remain unmoved by gold.

The second-place diner looked pained and torn. After much deliberation, he reluctantly refused, saying, "I really want to earn your gold, but my stomach won't allow it."

Rejected again?

Xue Buhuo was speechless, but he didn't give up.

Then it moved on to the next customer: "I'll buy yours..."

"I'm not selling!" Before she could finish speaking, she was refused.

"And what about you?"

"I'm not selling!"

"I'm not selling!"

"..."

Good grief, after asking around, not a single person was willing to sell their spot.

Xue Buhuo was utterly devastated; for the first time, he felt that the gold in his hands was so worthless.

"Hurry up and line up, or you'll be late!!" A loud voice woke him up, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Wu Wendong speaking.

At that moment, he didn't care about anything else and immediately rushed towards the back of the line.

"Hurry up, run a few steps!!" Wu Wendong shouted.

Xue Buhuo subconsciously started running, and even felt a strange sense of tension.

He's almost sixty this year, and he hasn't run like this in many years.

Today, when I started running, I felt a strange sense of excitement.

"Run faster!" Wu Wendong said cheerfully, finding Xue Buhuo's running somewhat amusing.

Xue Buhuo moved his legs even faster, and his expression became tense, completely different from his previous casualness.

As soon as they started running, other guests who had come from afar also started running, afraid that they wouldn't be able to get a seat.

The diners in line watched the spectacle with expressions of anticipation.

Seeing everyone running, Xue Buhuo became even more anxious and ran even faster.

With a quick step, I finally reached the back of the line.

"Oh dear, this old man is exhausted. I'm so old, I never thought I'd have to race against others..." He was panting heavily, clearly worn out.

"This spicy chicken noodle soup is the only way to do justice to my sacrifice today!"

Panting and shouting, Xue Buhuo raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He felt like he had gone crazy, actually running for something so spicy.

That's outrageous.

"With your position, it's not certain whether you'll even get a spot for the extra spicy chicken noodles," one of the diners added dismissively.

Xue Buhuo felt even worse.

What does that mean? Is there a possibility he won't get to eat?

That's outrageous! He's the Ghost Doctor!

All the high-ranking officials and nobles treated him with utmost respect, fearing they might offend him. They would offer him all the good things they had, just in case he refused to help.

Who would have thought that he would end up like this at Zhiweixuan today?

For the first time, Xue Buhuo began to consider whether he should reveal his true identity to Madam Shen in order to gain some special privileges.
