Barbecue Tips
Zhifeng didn't really have much to discuss with Lin Yi, he just wanted to ask Lin Yi if Huaijun was looking for him just for a statement. If not, he'd ask the principal, Ding Binggong, to step in and take care of the situation.
Zhifeng was relieved to hear that Tang Yun was fine. He knew that Lin Yi was protecting Tang Yun, so there was no need for him to be the bad guy. His weakness was still in Lin Yi's hands, and while private schools weren't as strict as public schools, it wouldn't end well for him if the board of directors found out about it.
Lin Yi had hired him to manage the school with a high salary, not to mess around with women.
Zhifeng patted Lin Yi's shoulder before he left, telling him not to go overboard with his relationship with Tang Yun, at least not to put him in a difficult position in school.
Lin Yi could only smile bitterly, not bothering to explain. He knew that Zhifeng wouldn't believe him even if he did.
Most of the other students were back in class by the time Lin Yi got back. Pinliang was talking to Mengyao about something, but Mengyao didn't want to talk to him.
Pinliang wasn't discouraged, however. As far as he was concerned, he didn't have any competitors in school yet. He was the only one who was good enough for Mengyao, so he wasn't worried at all.
Lin Yi didn't bother with him, either. Harassment like this wouldn't do anything to Mengyao, so Lin Yi didn't bother with him.
"Boss, what's up with Mister Wang? Is it because of the fight the other day? "Kang Xiaobo was a little worried- after all, he was involved in the fight.
"Ah, no, it's about my transfer." Lin Yi didn't mention Huaijun's situation to Kang Xiaobo. Lin Yi couldn't tell him everything.
"Oh, that's good." Kang Xiaobo nodded, "Right, boss, when I was coming back, I saw that Tang Yin's curtains and windows were open. Tang Yin's eyes were red like she just cried. Do you think Zou Ruoming went to harass her again?"
"This … How would I know …" Lin Yi sweated. Kang Xiaobo's observation skills were quite strong.
At lunchtime, Lin Yi planned to go to the cafeteria, but Kang Xiaobo dragged him out for barbecue. "I didn't have enough last Friday. I've been craving for two days."
Mrs. Tang's barbecue could only be described as ordinary. It wasn't delicious, and it didn't have any special recipes. But how much more could you ask for from a street stall?
Tang Yin didn't come to help today- the lunch break was actually quite stressful. Many students needed to take the opportunity to take a nap, otherwise they wouldn't be able to continue doing their homework in the afternoon.
Tang Yin was distracted by Lin Yi today. She planned to take a break at noon to calm down, otherwise she wouldn't be able to focus on her studies.
The barbeque stall wasn't very popular at lunchtime, and there wasn't anything special about it. The school had a cafeteria, and the number of students eating there was still quite a bit. Mrs. Tang had just finished grilling two tofu rolls for a female student when she raised her head and saw Lin Yi and Xiaobo. A smile appeared on her face. "Lin Yi, you brought a classmate here to eat."
"Yeah …" Lin Yi was a bit embarrassed- it was Kang Xiaobo who wanted to eat, but it turned out that he was the one bringing a classmate. Tang Yin had just said that he was using the opportunity to please her mother, "Aunty, how's business?"
"It's a Monday." Mrs. Tang shook her head, "There aren't many people today. We just opened not too long ago. Come, sit. What do you want to eat? I'll prepare it …"
"Twenty mutton skewers, two lamb chops, two chicken necks, two tofu rolls, two bottles of beer. The same as the last two days," Kang Xiaobo was the type of person who didn't like to change the way he ate.
"Let's skip the beer, we still have class in the afternoon." Lin Yi had Wang Zhifeng as his backing, but since he decided to enjoy his student days, Lin Yi didn't want to be too special. Lin Yi could drink like water, but Kang Xiaobo couldn't.
"Heh … I'll skip it then …" Kang Xiaobo scratched his head. He wouldn't dare drink without Lin Yi's encouragement.
Mrs. Tang was a bit surprised- wasn't Lin Yi one of the Big Four? He taught Zou Ruoming a harsh lesson on Friday, and it wasn't fake. Why was he so hesitant to drink a bottle of beer? Zou Ruoming and the others wouldn't care about that, right? They could drink whenever they wanted.
But thinking about it, Mrs. Tang realized that Lin Yi didn't have the bad habits of those bullies. He was respectful even when he disagreed with her. It seemed that rich families had good upbringing as well, after all. Not all of them were like Zou Ruoming, arrogant and overbearing.
Mrs. Tang had a good impression of Lin Yi the last few times she saw him.
Soon, the barbecue was served. They were the only one at the table, so they didn't need to wait.
As Kang Xiaobo dug in, Lin Yi picked up a chicken neck skewer and took two bites. Then he said to the bored Mrs. Tang, "Auntie, you can actually make the chicken neck New Orleans flavored. That would make it a specialty and your business would be better …"
"That's true, but I … I don't know how to do it …" Mrs. Tang smiled bitterly, "It's just a small stall, what's so special about it?"
"That's not necessarily true. A lot of stores start small." Lin Yi said, "Actually, you don't need a recipe. You can buy the marinade online. Mhm … If you don't know how to go online, you can ask Tang Yun to buy it for you …"
When Lin Yi was living with that greedy old man in the mountains, he often bought things for him online.
"Oh? Really? Wouldn't it be expensive? " Mrs. Tang didn't know much about this, but she was a bit tempted by Lin Yi's words. Who didn't want to have a better business?
"It wouldn't be expensive, but it would definitely increase the cost." Lin Yi said, "But if you don't think it's troublesome, you can make it yourself. I've studied the recipe, and I'll write it out tonight. I'll bring it to you tomorrow. It's just some sugar, chili, and other common seasonings. You can buy it at the wholesale market."
"That's great! Thank you in advance. I'll make it myself. It's a small business, and I don't make much money …" Mrs. Tang was a bit excited. She didn't expect Lin Yi to have studied the recipe.
"It's nothing, it's just a small matter." Lin Yi shook his head.
"Then I'll ask Yin to get it for you tomorrow. I'll treat you when I make it!" Mrs. Tang's impression of Lin Yi was even better now. The more she looked at him, the more she felt that Lin Yi was a good kid.
Although he came from a good family, he was never arrogant or despotic. He was polite to people … But she had never seen Lin Yi's arrogance before. When Lin Yi got cocky, he could poke a hole in the sky.
