Its a Cultural Ghost Story in China converted into a RA comic book from Hong Kong, originally written by a famous ghost story writer from long ago but the idea of Green Bean Soup Cooking Challenge using real cash money are the irony,not the story itself.


To cook green bean soup to the right taste,the soup itself needs to be boiled with hot burning charcoal on low slow fire for a certain period of time. So a good tasting bowl of green bean soup will take quite a bit of time.

The story goes like this,a super rich man often visit a high class exclusive brothel in ancient China,and he likes to flash his money so as to show off i am richer and more powerful than anyone in town. There was an auction in the brothel that are held once a week to bid for the virginity of their new girl and this super rich man is always the winner. But in a particular night of that special week,he finally met his match,which is another ultra rich man from another town except that he is possessed by the spirit of a girl that this super rich man accidentally killed in one of the past auction after taking her virginity.

The bidding starts but was not able to come to an end as both men are really super ultra rich and this ultra rich man from another town suggest why not they cook green bean soup using 银票 (pronounce as yin piao aka cash notes of much bigger denomination) which are consider very very big cash denomination in ancient China days. End of the green bean soup competition,the super rich man manage to finish cooking the green bean soup 1st and the ultra rich man from another town lost.

The ironic part of this story is that the female ghost wants revenge and later possess the virgin girl and took the life of that super rich man who won the prize. The super rich man tho is the winner did not get his prize,the young girl's virginity but instead died of a heart attack,hehehe...the girl who didnt lost the virginity was later married to the ultra rich man from the other town.

In Batam today,i have seen illustrated situation of the "cooking of the green bean soup using money" by men of the same interest,hehehe...and do you happen to be one of them? Remember i said this before,there are no poor sillyporean in Batam and almost everyone wants to win in the Green Bean Soup Cooking Challenge over one another...lol.

Just a short story with a lesson to learn,please dont take it too seriously.

I dont too. So if there are no trust between the buyer and seller,the only assurance would be a promise of a higher charged price so as to deter the buyer from buying.
