Chapter 33: Braised Beef in a Can, Guang Long
By now, he no longer looked down on ordinary ten-year souls and instead set his sights on hundred-year souls. The main reason was that Liu Yixuan, Gu Yue, and Xie Xie were too strong and too talented, which put a lot of pressure on him.
"Okay then." After hearing Tang Wulin's words, Xie Xie agreed with a helpless look on his face.
During this period of time, he has been training with Wu Changkong every day, but he is getting so suffocated that he feels like he will suffocate to death if he doesn't go out for a walk!
Xie Xie looked at Liu Yixuan who was standing beside him again: "Boss, are you going?"
Hearing this, Liu Yixuan smiled and said, "If someone invites me, of course I will go!"
"Okay, I'll set off now!" Xie Xie said excitedly, obviously having forgotten what kind of monster he was going to invite.
At this time, Gu Yue walked over without knowing when, and said, "I want to go too."
Xie Xie looked at Gu Yue speechlessly and said, "We boys are going out to play, why are you, a girl, participating?"
Hearing this, Gu Yue glared at Xie Xie: "Xie Xie, what are you talking about? Are you itching for trouble?"
Hearing this, Xie Xie's body trembled, and he immediately raised his hands in surrender, saying: "Okay, I'm scared of you. If you want to go, then let's go together."
He had no temper at all towards Gu Yue. The other party was much stronger than him and had a good relationship with Liu Yixuan. With these two points, Gu Yue had him under control. Otherwise, with Xie Xie's arrogance, he would not have paid any attention to Gu Yue.
The four of them went back to their dormitories, prepared themselves, changed their clothes and set off.
After leaving the academy, Liu Yixuan looked at Xie Xie and asked curiously, "Where are we going?"
Hearing this, Xie Xie said, "Let's go eat first. I know there's a snack street. Let's go there and eat."
Hearing this, Tang Wulin's lips curved slightly, and a happy smile appeared on his young face: "That's great."
"Xie Xie, are you sure you want to treat us?"
Hearing this, Xie Xie rolled his eyes at Tang Wulin and said unhappily, "It's just a snack. Do you think I can't afford it?"
Gu Yue sneered: "You stink of money!"
Xie Xie glared at her angrily and said, "What did you say? If you have the guts, don't eat it!"
Gu Yue curled her lips and said, "If you don't want to eat it, then don't eat it. Who cares?"
After that, she looked at Liu Yixuan and said, "Yixuan, please treat me to a meal."
Hearing this, Liu Yixuan touched his forehead and said helplessly: "Okay, stop arguing. We are out to have fun, not to quarrel over such a small matter."
Gu Yue looked at Liu Yixuan seriously and said, "Then will you treat me?"
"Okay!" Liu Yixuan gave Xie Xie a wry smile.
Xie Xie immediately yelled, “Boss, you value women over friendship!”
Hearing this, Gu Yue glared at Xie Xie angrily: "What are you talking about?"
As she spoke, she threw a fireball out.
"Depend on!"
Seeing Gu Yue attacking without saying a word, Xie Xie was startled and quickly dodged the fireball, but still got a little burnt on his hair.
Seeing his hairstyle ruined, Xie Xie wanted to cry but had no tears. He looked at Gu Yue angrily and said, "Gu Yue, are you crazy?"
Seeing this, Gu Yue smiled and said, "You are the one who is crazy?"
"Come on if you want a duel!"
As she spoke, she waved her hand and three fireballs appeared.
Seeing this, Xie Xie took a deep breath and finally decided to swallow his anger, because he was really no match for Gu Yue!
"Good men do not fight with women!"
Xie Xie curled his lips and pulled Tang Wulin away.
Looking at this scene, Liu Yixuan's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a happy smile.
Gu Yue had a strange temper and often bickered with Xie Xie, but was very nice to him. This made Liu Yixuan feel a little strange, but he soon understood the reason and didn't think much about it. In his opinion, their bickering was just a spice of life.
"Liu Yixuan, what are you laughing at?" Gu Yue asked curiously as he looked at Liu Yixuan who suddenly laughed.
"Nothing, I'm leaving!"
As he spoke, Liu Yixuan naturally held Gu Yue's hand and pulled her to catch up with Xie Xie and Tang Wulin.
Gu Yue felt a little uncomfortable when her hand was suddenly pulled, and she struggled subconsciously, but it was of no use because Liu Yixuan was too strong.
"Ugh!"
Looking at Liu Yixuan helplessly, Gu Yue could only let Liu Yixuan pull her.
For some reason, she felt her heartbeat quicken a lot, and a strange feeling suddenly arose in her heart.
……
The snack street was not very close to Donghai College, and it took the four of them half an hour to get there.
There were small shops standing side by side on both sides of a not-too-wide street. As soon as they arrived at the street entrance, Liu Yixuan and his three companions smelled various aromas wafting from the snack street, and their appetites were immediately whetted.
“Let’s go eat the braised beef first. It’s very tender and crispy, and it’s delicious when paired with some rice.” As an old money person in Donghai City, Xie Xie took the initiative to say this.
"it is good!"
Hearing this, Liu Yixuan and Tang Wulin nodded happily.
Afterwards, Xie Xie brought the three of them to a clean and tidy store.
This shop is neither big nor small. The stove is placed outside with nearly a hundred small fire holes on it. A clay pot of stewed beef is placed above the fire holes. The lid of the clay pot is buzzing with the aroma of the steaming beef, and the aroma also takes the opportunity to slip out to tempt passers-by.
There are only five small rectangular tables in the whole store, which can seat at most twenty people. At this moment, half of them are already occupied, so business is good.
It was late autumn at this time and the air temperature was not high. As soon as they entered the store, Liu Yixuan and others felt that the temperature had risen a lot. At the same time, they smelled the aroma of beef and felt relaxed all over.
"Uncle Li, give me four servings of braised beef in a can!" Xie Xie said skillfully to the middle-aged man who was busy. Although Gu Yue had caused a little conflict, he did not deliberately leave out the other person's portion.
The middle-aged uncle’s surname was Li. He was the owner of this store. He had known Xie Xie for quite some time. When he saw Xie Xie, he immediately smiled and greeted him: “Xie Xie, are you bringing your friends out to play?”
Xie Xie nodded: "Yes, they are all my classmates."
"Still the same?"
"Yes."
As he was talking, Uncle Li had already prepared four servings of braised beef and rice for the four people, as well as some good-looking vegetables.
"This is your first time bringing friends here, so these vegetables are for you."
Uncle Li touched Xie Xie's head and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Xie Xie nodded obediently: "Thank you, Uncle Li." Looking at this scene, Tang Wulin was extremely surprised, because Xie Xie was a mysophobe. In the dormitory, whether it was toiletries or beds, his were always the cleanest.
Liu Yixuan and Gu Yue didn't think much about it. When they saw the braised beef coming up, they started eating it right away.
Stewed Pot Beef is a delicacy cooked in a brown clay pot. The beef is washed and stewed with green onion and ginger slices. The clay pot locks in the moisture and delicious taste of the beef. After the beef changes color, add it in More than a dozen spices are simmered for a long time until the beef is completely crispy. The flavor of the spices has been perfectly blended with the beef. It is a famous snack in Donghai City.
After eating a few bites, Liu Yixuan felt that the taste was very good, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet and delicious. Paired with white rice, it was indeed a rare delicacy.
It was also the first time for him to eat this kind of roadside delicacy. Although the nutritional value was far inferior to the various high-level soul beast ingredients he had eaten, it was very stimulating to the taste buds and was very impressive.
Even the usually reserved Gu Yue had her mouth full of oil and her brows relaxed as she ate.
After quickly eating one portion, Liu Yixuan and Tang Wulin looked at Xie Xie again. After just a blink of an eye, Xie Xie understood what they meant, so he said to the boss, “Uncle Li, another twenty portions!”
"Thank you." Hearing this, the two said with a smile.
Hearing this, Xie Xie thought they were calling his name, and asked in surprise, "What for?"
Liu Yixuan explained: "This is a thank you."
Tang Wulin smiled bitterly and said, "Xie Xie, your name is really bad."
Hearing this, Xie Xie's eyes turned red, and he suddenly thought of his mother, so he explained the origin of his name with a wry smile.
After hearing Xie Xie's story, Tang Wulin instantly thought of his missing parents and felt grief-stricken.
Gu Yue generously said that he would take back his previous words and let Xie Xie treat them.
Xie Xie wiped away his tears and said angrily: "I smell like money."
Gu Yue curled her lips and said, "I didn't expect that a little brat like you would hold a grudge."
Xie Xie was furious: "How old are you? Aren't you the same age as me? I'm a little brat, what are you? A little girl brat?"
"It's delicious. I won't argue with a crybaby, eh!"
Glancing at Xie Xie with disdain, Gu Yue opened a serving of braised beef from a can and ignored the furious Xie Xie.
After eating the braised beef in a can, Xie Xie took Liu Yixuan and the other two to continue shopping for delicious food in other shops along the snack street.
That’s right, a sweep!
With the presence of two big eaters, Liu Yixuan and Tang Wulin, the performance of all the shops in the snack street has skyrocketed, and these two people contributed at least half of the turnover.
Seeing Liu Yixuan and Tang Wulin eating and drinking to their heart's content, Xie Xie regretted bringing them out. It wasn't that he felt sorry for the money, but the two looked so ferocious while eating, as if they were two starving ghosts reincarnated. Their behavior seriously affected his image.
Gu Yue deliberately angered Xie Xie and said, "If you can't afford it, don't invite me."
In one sentence, Xie Xie was so angry that he almost smoked.
What’s even more infuriating is that many good-looking young ladies passing by completely ignored his handsomeness and kept chasing after Liu Yixuan, the big eater, to ask for his contact information.
Seeing this situation, Gu Yue was so angry that her mouth puffed up.
Tang Wulin was very depressed and secretly decided not to go out with the boss anymore. When some beautiful ladies came to chat with him, Tang Wulin thought that they were attracted by his handsomeness, but he didn't expect that their ultimate goal was to get Liu Yixuan's contact information.
In the end, the four of them ate most of the food in the snack street and their stomachs were full. Even the girl Gu Yue was so full that she almost had to lean on Liu Yixuan to walk.
Just as they were about to go back, Gu Yue suddenly noticed a large group of people gathered in front of them and asked in surprise, "What is that?"
"Go over and have a look!"
Seeing that the location was Uncle Li’s shop, Xie Xie’s heart tightened and he rushed over immediately.
"Wait for us."
Seeing this, Liu Yixuan shouted and hurriedly followed with Gu Yue and Tang Wulin.
At this time, he had already released his mental power.
Then, the scene inside the crowd came into his eyes. It turned out that a group of thugs were bullying Uncle Li. They needed to collect protection fees, but Uncle Li was unwilling to pay. Then the leader of the thugs brought people to smash his shop.
People around were watching this scene and talking about it, but no one dared to take action.
Seeing this situation, Liu Yixuan felt a little strange. There seemed to be several soul masters around, some of whom were not weaker than the gang leader, but they did not take action. What was going on?
Has the morals of Donghai City declined to such a level?
Or do these little hooligans have some powerful background?
Xie Xie didn’t think too much about it. When he saw Uncle Li’s miserable condition, he immediately yelled, rushed over with red eyes, and helped Uncle Li up.
"Can soul masters bully others?" Tang Wulin looked at the gang leader Guanglong angrily. What he hated most was the soul masters who relied on their own strength to bully ordinary people.
Guanglong is a very strong man with bare arms, dragon patterns all over his body, and a ferocious face. It is obvious that he is not a good person.
Seeing Tang Wulin come out to accuse him, Guang Long was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Is this street deserted? Even a little brat dares to come out and meddle in my business. He is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of a tiger!"
"Little ass, get out of here before I lose my temper and let someone else spank you."
Tang Wulin was not very strong, but he was very courageous. When he heard what Guang Long said, he immediately ran to him angrily and said, "Why did you treat Uncle Li like this? Do you still have any humanity?"
Hearing this, Guanglong snorted coldly, "Humanity can't be eaten. If he pities me, does that mean I can't pity him? If he has to support his wife, does that mean I don't have to support my mother?"
"Get out of here now, and don't interfere with my work."
As he spoke, Guang Long raised his hand to push Tang Wulin away, but a tender little hand grabbed his wrist.
"Ok!"
He was stunned for a moment and found another handsome little kid. He was furious and tried to break free by shaking his hand. Unexpectedly, the other party's hand was like a solid wall, holding his wrist tightly.
Liu Yixuan grabbed Guanglong's arm and flicked it gently. The huge man flew out immediately, like a piece of rag, without any power to resist.
"bump!"
Guanglong fell heavily to the ground, with a mouthful of dust in his mouth. His head was dizzy and he hadn't figured out how he was thrown away.
That guy is so strong?
"Boss!"
Seeing this scene, the two strong men shouted, rushed over immediately and helped Guanglong up.
Liu Yixuan looked at Guanglong coldly and said, "Guanglong, the captain of the Donghai City Mecha Brigade, Guangbiao, is your brother, right? Do you think you can do whatever you want in Donghai with his protection?"
Hearing this, Guanglong, who was about to release his martial spirit, was stunned for a moment.
He took a careful look at Liu Yixuan and found that this child had a very extraordinary temperament, not like an ordinary person, and his heart suddenly began to beat fast.
"How do you know my brother's identity?"
Guanglong looked at Liu Yixuan and tried to remain calm, but his tone unconsciously weakened.
That’s right, he was able to collect and protect people unscrupulously in the big city of Donghai because he was relying on his brother, the man who was already the captain of the Donghai Mecha Brigade.
