The BBQ restaurant owner finally finished cooking the BBQ, all the items neatly packed in a bag. Shen Dong didn't even ask for the price before he scanned a sum of money over, an amount that was certainly not less. The owner's eyes crinkled into a smile, yet he still waved his hands dismissively, saying, "You're already a regular customer, why would you transfer so much money."
"You should know the price, and you've always supported our business just like before, but look how bustling it is here now; there's no need for your support anymore. If this BBQ restaurant is popular, it's partly because of you. You're my benefactor, after all. This meal should have been on the house. Next time, you can repay the money.
"Every time you reimburse, you pay enough to cover several meals," the owner said with a hint of reproach in his voice. Yet there was undeniable pride too, as if knowing someone like Shen Dong, a person of significance, was a matter of great import.
