Chapter 414: Showing You All a Trick
Zhao Laotou was amused to the point of laughter by Xiaoxue, and handing the wooden stick to Lin Feng, he said, "Alright, if you look down on me so much, then try molding one yourself!"
"Daddy, go for it!" said Xiaoxue.
Lin Feng was both amused and annoyed; he really wanted to give Xiaoxue a flick on the forehead.
To tell the truth, Lin Feng really didn't want to make a move. On one hand, being competitive over such trivial matters was meaningless; on the other hand, this old man was quite elderly, so why bother crushing his spirit?
But this Zhao Laotou had a look of defiance on his face, and the people around them also started to stir up trouble.
"Yeah, yeah, if you say someone else isn't good enough, then show us what you can do!"
"Don't just talk, show us!"
"Whether it's a mule or a horse, bring it out for a walk!"
"Who can't brag!"
"Young man, you should just apologize to him."
Xiaoxue was also looking at Lin Feng with wide, expectant eyes at this moment, so Lin Feng took a deep breath and said, "Fine, then I'll show you all what I can do!"
As he spoke, Lin Feng picked up a pair of disposable gloves from the stall and put them on, then took the wooden stick from Zhao Laotou's hand and stirred it a few times in the iron pot filled with maltose.
The maltose the old man had prepared was relatively thin, which showed that his craftsmanship was indeed very good.
Because the thinner the maltose, the longer the cooling time when molding sugar figures, and the more room there is to work with.
But the thinner the maltose, the harder it is to set, so the difficulty of molding the sugar figure is also greater.
Sugar figure masters with poor skills usually prepare thicker maltose; only masters with sufficiently good skills would have maltose this thin.
But precisely because the maltose was thin, it was impossible to get too much of it on the small wooden stick at once.
But was Lin Feng an ordinary person?
He was a Martial Artist!
Lin Feng directly channeled his True Qi and used the Air-Grasping Technique to pull out a large glob of maltose from the iron pot; such a large glob was enough to mold over a dozen sugar figures!
Seeing this, Zhao Laotou's expression changed drastically, and the people around were also stunned.
But there was something even more shocking to come!
They saw Lin Feng's right hand move like lightning, his palm and fingers—covered by the disposable glove—kneading the large glob of maltose with fluid, effortless grace.
Before long, the glob of maltose had turned into a strand of maltose, twisting and turning like a snake.
"What is this young man planning to mold?"
"Could it be a snake?"
"It's possible!"
"I think so too."
The people around were chattering away, unable to stop their discussion.
But what Lin Feng was molding wasn't a snake, but a dragon!
They saw his five fingers dancing nimbly, quickly molding the prototype of a Divine Dragon, and then he picked up a toothpick from the stall and began carving the prototype with lightning speed, just like a 3D printer.
Scales, dragon whiskers, dragon horns... one detail after another gradually appeared, leaving the surrounding crowd dumbfounded!
When Lin Feng finally carved a pair of dragon eyes with the toothpick, the parents around them exploded!
"Holy crap, this guy molded a dragon!"
"Too amazing, this dragon is baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, it's so lifelike!"
"The scales, the whiskers, the horns... these details are done so well!"
"Is this guy's hand a human hand? He's practically a human printer!"
Lin Feng took off the glove and said with a chuckle, "Old man, how about it? Are you convinced?"
"You... you young man are definitely not simple; you are not an ordinary person." The old man seemed to have noticed something and said with a look of astonishment.
"I am indeed not ordinary," Lin Feng smiled, but didn't say anything more.
Afterward, Lin Feng stuffed the sugar dragon he had molded into Xiaoxue's hand, and Xiaoxue kept jumping up and down with joy, her little face flushed with excitement.
"Daddy, you're so amazing! Mwah!"
Xiaoxue shouted, and even jumped up to kiss Lin Feng.
The children around were extremely envious, pointing at the sugar dragon in Xiaoxue's hand—which was worth more than a dozen sugar figures—and saying, "Daddy, I want one too! I want that one!"
"I want one too!"
"Me too!"
Holding the sugar dragon, Xiaoxue instantly became the focus of envy and jealousy for those children.
Fearing it would be snatched away, Xiaoxue hurriedly protected it with her other hand and said very smugly, "You want one? If you want one, make your daddies mold one for you!"
Consequently, the parents around started sweating.
How could they possibly mold such a lifelike sugar dragon?
This was simply not something an ordinary person could do!
Suddenly, a boss wearing a suit and sporting a big belly said with a smile, "Young man, why don't you sell this sugar dragon to me? I'll offer one thousand yuan."
"Then what about my daughter?" Lin Feng asked irritably.
"Your skills are so good, can't you just mold another one for your daughter?" said the man who looked like a boss.
"I don't have time," Lin Feng refused directly.
That boss frowned and said, "Young man, do you know who I am? I am Chen Tianhai, the Chairman of Haitian Real Estate Co., Ltd. here in Minle City. Making friends with me won't do you any harm."
"Sorry, a small character like you isn't qualified to be friends with me at all," Lin Feng said bluntly.
"Don't be too arrogant; arrogance comes with a price!" Chen Tianhai said angrily.
The atmosphere around them suddenly became very tense.
No one expected that things would suddenly turn out like this.
Lin Feng cast a disdainful glance at this fellow and said, "If you make me unhappy, you will pay a much more painful price."
"You..."
Chen Tianhai was furious and wanted to say something more, but just as he uttered a single word, a large group of City Management Department officers in uniform came running over from a distance.
The leading Captain of the City Management squad shouted indignantly, "Zhao Laosan, how many times have I told you that you cannot set up a stall here? Why won't you listen? Do you really want me to smash your sugar figurine stall?"
Zhao Laotou's expression changed drastically, and the parents nearby were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
Lin Feng turned his head, looked at the Captain, and said coldly, "Smash someone's stall? You have quite the nerve!"
"And what are you? How dare you act wild here!" the Captain barked at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng took out his phone and said, "You'll find out what I am soon enough."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Feng dialed Hua Yuerong's phone number directly.
Just five minutes later, a black Hongqi with the license plate number 009 drove over from the distance.
When it arrived, the car door opened, and a balding middle-aged man stepped out, covered in sweat.
Upon seeing this balding man, the group of City Management officers all changed their expressions!
Because this balding man was none other than the Director of the Minle City City Management Department, Luo Dayang!
"Director Luo, why are you..."
The leading Captain said in shock, hurriedly stepping forward to greet him.
But Luo Dayang pushed him aside directly, then trotted all the way to Lin Feng, bowing and scraping as he said, "Mr. Lin, I am truly sorry. I didn't expect my subordinates to cause you trouble. I will definitely criticize them severely; please rest assured!"
