The little lady: …
She had the feeling that this contest was organized just for laughs.
Just keep the pill contest a pill contest. Why did you have to make people eat mantou? Not only that, they had to eat that many mantou. Someone even died from eating too much last year!
Were the pills going to lose their efficacy if they weren't inside the mantou?
No way José!
"Hey, there's even a second event this year. Seems like this contest is getting more and more complex!"
"Yeah, yeah. I remember it was still purely a mantou-eating contest five or six years ago. Several rich families from the city jointly hosted it to support the poor. The prize money was five thousand spirit currency!"
"Right, right. I also remember that they at most added some chili oil inside the mantou, making several young chaps yelp from the spiciness."
"Things have changed, things have changed."
