210: Chapter 208 Don’t ss with 210: Chapter 208 Don’t ss with Snack shops near the Empire Trade Tower were easy to find, spaced out along a bustling pedestrian street.
However, finding a proper restaurant took a while.
“Boss, I don’t want to eat rice; I want to eat noodles.
It slls so good, boss, I want to go to that noodle place,” Lengzi said, not following Tangyu into the restaurant but instead pointing at a nearby Lanzhou noodle shop, smacking his lips in anticipation.
“What’s so good about noodles?
I’ll order so dishes and so drinks for you, wouldn’t that be more fun?” Tangyu said.
Lengzi shook his head and replied, “But boss, it’s been a long ti since I’ve had noodles, and I really feel like eating them.
We have rice at ho every day, but having noodles is rare.
Besides, the noodles at this place sll so good, I’ve lost interest in drinking now because I’m hungry.”
Tangyu smiled, their ho was quite remote, and getting noodles wasn’t easy, so it was a rare occasion they went to town for them: “Alright, let’s do it your way and have noodles.
Fill up your stomach, and once I’m done with work tonight, I’ll take you for late-night snacks, and we’ll have a few drinks.”
“Hehe, sounds great,” Lengzi grinned, and the two of them walked into the Lanzhou noodle shop.
There weren’t many custors at that ti, and the shop was quite empty.
“Boss, bring five bowls of noodles first, the large ones,” Lengzi called out as soon as they sat down, his voice resonating loudly.
His shout made the shop owner look at Lengzi with a bit of surprise.
If it were just Lengzi alone, she might have been intimidated, but seeing Tangyu dressed elegantly reassured her slightly.
She asked, “Do you want beef or lamb, or neither?
Also, are these five bowls to go?”
“There’s beef and lamb?
Well, let’s have both.
What takeout?
Didn’t you see us sitting here to eat?
Bring the five bowls quickly,” Lengzi replied.
The shop owner, a woman in her mid-thirties, was visibly stunned for a mont before asking, “Are you sure about five bowls, all to be eaten here?
Our large bowls are really big, and I’m afraid that’s too much for you to eat.”
Tangyu smiled and said, “My brother here can eat a lot, and he hasn’t eaten in a day or two, don’t worry, he can handle it.” Lengzi’s appetite had always been astonishing, and five bowls might not even be enough to fill him.
“Alright then, please wait a mont,” the woman nodded.
“Hehe, boss, this place really is paradise; it’s so beautiful.
Those tall buildings are sothing I’ve never seen before, and the streets are full of cars.
It’s wonderful, truly a paradise on Earth,” Lengzi said.
“Yes, this place can indeed be called a paradise, as long as you have money you can get anything you want here.
The bustling world is no more than this.
Everything here is good, but the only thing it lacks compared to ho is that tranquil, idyllic peace and the simple kindness of the people.
This is paradise, but it is also Hell, a place of survival of the fittest, a ruthless world,” Tangyu replied.
Lengzi shook his large head and said, “That’s too complicated.
I prefer things simple.
But let’s live the life in paradise first, and see about Hell later.
Even if it is Hell, let those demons and spirits not bother .”
“Lengzi, how’s my master doing?” Tangyu asked.
ntioning the Ghost Doctor, Lengzi suddenly beca reverent: “The old Immortal is doing very well.
However, he keeps a very low profile and is hard to et.”
“Oh, did the master leave Ghost Doctor Valley?” Tangyu asked curiously.
After thinking for a mont, Lengzi shook his head and said, “I don’t know about that.
All I know is that ever since you left, I’ve only seen the old Immortal once, which was the day before yesterday when he appeared before and asked to find you.”
“Oh,” Tangyu thought for a while but couldn’t figure out what the master was busy with.
“Hehe, boss, have you found a sister-in-law yet?
The old Immortal asked to check if you’ve found one, and if you haven’t, the old Immortal asked to look down on you on his behalf.
Boss, I really don’t want to look down on you, it’s the old Immortal’s idea, so please don’t make do that,” Lengzi suddenly grinned and said.
“Uh…”
Tangyu was speechless for a mont.
His master was playing this trick, even though he had only been out for about half a month.
It’s not like picking cabbages, sorting it out so quickly, especially since he wasn’t frivolous.
Of course, if he really needed to, it wasn’t impossible.
He couldn’t speak for others, but Liu Shanshan was quite likely.
But Tangyu did not want to rush things; won, like wine, should be savored slowly.
“Alright, then you can look down on ,” Tangyu said.
“Really, boss?
No way, that’s unreasonable.
I was looking forward to eting a beautiful sister-in-law,” Lengzi widened his eyes, sowhat disbelieving.
“You don’t understand, you will later,” Tangyu shook his head.
Lengzi grimaced: “Alright, I’ll pretend I don’t understand.”
Tangyu shook his head and silently chuckled.
Was his master using Lengzi to hurry him along?
Was he also boasting about his own romantic exploits from his younger days?
It seed Tangyu really had to step up his ga, or he would indeed be despised by his master ti and again.
“Lengzi, I want to arrange a job for you.
I have two options for now, you can see which one you prefer.
The first is to work as a security guard at the building we just saw, the second is to work with a friend of mine, Brother Hu, as a venue manager, initially working under him.
My company doesn’t have a position suitable for you, so I’m unable to introduce you there,” Tangyu said.
Lengzi looked at Tangyu and asked, “Boss, can’t I just follow you?
I don’t care about work, I’m here to help you out.”
Tangyu shook his head, “For the ti being, there’s nothing you need to do.
You don’t have to follow .
I’m usually quite busy and may not have the ti to take care of you.
You should just go to work for now and get used to the environnt here.”
“Alright, I’ll listen to you, boss.
I don’t mind.
Wherever you tell to go, I’ll go,” Lengzi nodded.
Tangyu thought for a mont and said, “If you beco a security guard, you might be under soone else’s supervision and you’ll need to clock in and out on ti.
There will be tasks every day, so it’s not very free.
If you go with my friend, Tiger, however, that’s quite free.
You probably won’t have to do much unless there’s a job for you.
Life would be better with Tiger.
Choose for yourself.”
Lengzi shook his large head, “Ah, other than the boss, I don’t like anyone telling what to do.
So, I’ll stick with Tiger then.
Boss, that Tiger is a gang mber, right?”
“Yes, he’s involved in those circles.
But different from the usual crowd—quite loyal, and has a strong sense of justice,” Tangyu replied.
“Alright, then I’ll hang with him for now.
Hehe, hanging out with him, there’s likely to be fights, right?
If there’s no fighting, that would be really boring.
I love fighting the most.
Not sure if I can find a few worthy opponents around here,” Lengzi said.
Tangyu glared at Lengzi, “This isn’t ho.
It’s best to keep fighting at a minimum.
You hit hard, and others can’t withstand your blows.
If you cause a serious injury, it would be troubleso.”
“Understood, boss.
I’ll hold back a bit more.
I won’t beat people at the drop of a hat, and even if I do, I won’t beat them to death or cripple them.
It’s illegal, I know,” Lengzi said.
Tangyu smiled but didn’t lecture further.
If Lengzi’s fiery temper got the better of him…
well, it could lead to a big trouble.
Most people could barely survive a punch from him.
While they talked, the beef noodles were served one after another, with five bowls filling the table.
Lengzi swallowed and greedily sniffed the bowl, his saliva nearly dripping, “Wow, so fragrant!
Even more delicious than the noodles in the town’s noodle shop.
Looks like I’m in for a treat today.
Boss, you have so too.”
“You go ahead.
I don’t really like noodles,” Tangyu said.
“Then I won’t hold back.” Lengzi picked up a bowl and began eating ravenously, gulping down the steaming noodles as if they were cold food, fearless of the heat, swallowing bite after bite.
Watching him eat was akin to seeing soone who hadn’t eaten for months.
The shop owner was watching and seed even more astonished.
Surely this guy was a rarity.
Tangyu had also made a call to Tiger, asking him to co find him.
Two n clad in exotic garb entered, speaking in broken sentences, “Boss, bring two bowls of beef noodles with extra beef.”
Tangyu eyed the two n, who were likely from the far north of Hua Country.
People from that area were often burly and belligerent, not the easiest to provoke.
The shop owner also glanced at them, clearly reluctant, but responded and headed to the kitchen.
The two n also glanced at Tangyu’s table.
After making brief eye contact with them, Tangyu frowned slightly.
He sensed that these two n had so malicious intent.
Lengzi quickly finished the five bowls of beef noodles.
After licking the grease off the corners of his mouth, he grinned at Tangyu, “Eating is such a pleasure, boss, especially the soup—it’s delicious.
But boss, I’m still only half full.
Could I get another five bowls?”
Tangyu laughed, “Of course, you can.
When it cos to eating, there’s no need to be polite.
Eat as much as you want.
It’s not easy to eat whatever you want here, so enjoy it to the fullest.”
“Hehe, great then,” Lengzi said cheerfully before turning to the shop owner, “Boss, give five more, sa as before.”
Hearing Lengzi’s request, the shop owner nearly bit his lip.
Peering through the kitchen window, he noticed that indeed all five large bowls on Tangyu’s table were empty.
He was secretly amazed; it’s rare to see soone eat so much—five large bowls not enough, and asking for five more, totaling nearly forty pounds of food in one al—it was unprecedented.
Yet since the custor had a request, after his initial surprise, the owner quickly responded, “Alright, just a mont.”
The two oddly dressed n turned back to gauge Lengzi, their faces showing a hint of mockery.
They spoke in a gibberish that was incomprehensible, but their sneering expressions left no doubt about the nature of their words.
Lengzi glared at them angrily, on the verge of standing up, but Tangyu’s look stopped him.
“Boss, what are those two birds saying in their bird language?
It’s so annoying,” Lengzi said.
“Forget about them; don’t mind those people,” Tangyu replied.
Lengzi sneered, “Okay, I’ll listen to you, boss.
But those two birds are really botherso, can tell they’re not good birds just by looking.
I hate it when people annoy while I’m eating.”
