C39 Eat Barbecue

4After dinner, Chen Yi went into his room. He walked up to Shen Yueran and answered with a serious expression, "Pleasant, I have something to do tonight. I want to go out for a while."    3

    

Shen Yueran was slightly stunned when she heard that.    

    

For the past three years, Chen Yi could be counted on one hand. He never went out at night, so he never expected to go out today.    

    

"Eh, if you have something to do, then go." Shen Yueran said softly, her face revealing a trace of disappointment.    

    

It's been three years. If he isn't here, he won't be used to it.    

    

Chen Yi seemed to understand Shen Yueran's expression. He smiled and said, "If you don't want me to go, then I won't go."    

    

"No need. You can go now. You need your own circle too. It's not fair to keep watch over me." Shen Yueran shook her head hurriedly.    

    

"I don't think it's unfair to watch over you." Chen Yi laughed.    

    

"Aiya, go quickly. I'm really fine, go quickly!" Shen Yueran was elated upon hearing Chen Yi's words, but she still showed an expression of "you don't want to be a sissy".    

    

Chen Yi smiled. Shen Yueran didn't even glance at him, so she didn't reject him and walked out of the bedroom.    

    

As they sped along, Wu Tie drove his Mazda to the river bank, where Hsing Jianguo and his men were waiting for him after they changed their posts.    

    

"Brother Chen Yi!"    

    

From a distance, Hsing Jianguo waved at Chen Yi!    

    

Chen Yi parked the car and wobbled towards them.    

    

Whether it was working overtime, karaoke, or drinking until they were drunk, at midnight, they would generally like to come to the roadside food stall to have a midnight snack. This also caused Jiang City, a prosperous night market in the city, to be overcrowded almost overnight.    

    

They quickly arrived at a barbecue stall called 'There is only one China in the world'. Although the name was rather long, it didn't affect people who would remember this barbecue stand. The business here was also in full swing, it was more than twice as good as other barbecue stalls!    

    

The five of them chose a clean table and sat down. A twenty-seven or twenty-eight year old woman came up to them and picked up a notebook with which she could record dishes. It seemed like she was the owner of this barbeque stall.    

    

"Brothers, what do you want to eat!?"    

    

Actually, only Hsing Jianguo, who was older than her, was present. She called everyone that, but it was just a form of courtesy.    

    

Hsing Jianguo was a regular customer here, so he directly opened his mouth and said, "Ten roasted steamed buns, put more chilli peppers on, and a little more crisper. Then another two catties of mutton, ten ham sausages, and five bottles of beer!"    

    

After the Lady Boss finished writing, she asked with a disdainful look on her face, "Do you want something else? For five men to eat two catties of mutton is definitely not enough. "    

    

"There's no need, there's no need. Let's light these first, they're not enough." The sturdy guy beside Hsing Jianguo quickly waved his hand.    

    

The things at the barbecue booth were extremely expensive, and with their wages, they simply couldn't afford it!    

    

The Lady Boss seemed to be used to their ordering methods. Without asking any questions, she turned around and shouted to the man who was busy chopping meat at the barbeque stall. "Table 3, ten steamed buns are a ham sausage and two catties of mutton!"    

    

"Wait!" Suddenly, Chen Yi called out to the Lady Boss, and pointed to the things on the barbecue stall. "Sheep's Whip, Sheep's kidney, Sheep's balls, serve five servings, add ten catties of mutton, move five boxes of beer first, and then we'll have more later!"    

    

"Hey, you good-for-nothing, what are you doing!? "Don't think that you can get rich just by treating Mr Jianguo to a meal today. Do you think we all eat the same thing as you? It's not easy for us to earn money …"    

    

The sturdy guy quickly opened his mouth to stop him, but before he could finish, Hsing Jianguo stopped him.    

    

"Today's matter is all thanks to Brother Chen Yi. I was stingy. I ordered whatever I wanted and everyone started to eat!" Hsing Jianguo said with a smile, but there was still a trace of pain in his eyes.    

    

"No, Mr Jianguo. I was thinking that we can't eat so much, so it would be a waste if we ordered too much …" The stocky man thought that Hsing Jianguo was afraid of losing face and hurriedly found an excuse for him.    

    

Seeing that, Chen Yi smiled, "How can a few men not be able to eat this much …" Lady Boss, according to what I've said, you'll get a lot of money! "    

    

The Lady Boss originally thought they were going to find an excuse to stop, but she didn't expect this unkempt young man to be so bold. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, our lamb is the freshest. I guarantee that I'll be satisfied!"    

    

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the barbeque stall with glee!    

    

"Trash, do you think we all do the same thing as you? Why aren't we eating enough? Do you know how long it will take Mr Jianguo to earn back the things you ordered? "    

    

"That's right. You don't need to spend your own money to not feel bad. Just roast some steamed buns, that's all. I want so much meat …"    

    

"Hmph, it's because I'm not qualified to eat at home. It's not easy for me to come out and want to eat a big meal!"    

    

The three security guards muttered with displeasure on their faces, while almost every single word entered Chen Yi's and Hsing Jianguo's ears.    

    

Hsing Jianguo glanced at Chen Yi apologetically, "Don't mind them. These young people are all soldiers, they can't talk …"    

    

"Of course I don't mind." Chen Yi smiled meaningfully.    

    

Not long after, the Lady Boss brought a table filled with chili concoction and a steely tray filled with the scent of cumin. She then placed a carton of beer next to the bench.    

    

The few guards were too lazy to care about Chen Yi. They held their glasses and toasted Hsing Jianguo, while Chen Yi drank alone with a smile on his face.    

    

Right at this moment, a group of eighteen or nineteen year old youngsters appeared on the road in the distance. They wore revealing clothing, had a strange hairstyle, and a few girls with colourful hair mixed in. They were all exposing their navel and thighs, and one could vaguely see some relatively private parts, such as some roses or 'forceful' tattoos.    

    

Soon, they arrived at the barbeque store.    

    

At this moment, Chen Yi was listening to Hsing Jianguo and a few other security guards talk about the past when they were soldiers. When Chen Yi heard Hsing Jianguo's excitement, he was interrupted.    

    

Chen Yi frowned and greeted the Lady Boss. The Lady Boss immediately ran over with her small waist.    

    

"Tell those kids over there to be quiet."    

    

When the Lady Boss heard Chen Yi's request, she immediately opened her eyes in surprise and whispered to Chen Yi, "Big Brother, how about you bear with it? These kids aren't easy to mess with …"    

    

"It's fine, just say it."    

    

Chen Yi said indifferently. Then, the Lady Boss walked towards those young people unwillingly.    

    

Chen Yi turned his head and saw the dumbfounded crowd and asked: "Why are you looking at me? Go on, I'm curious about my life as a soldier. "    

    

Upon hearing that, the few security guards immediately lost their composure, "You good-for-nothing, don't you have to not cause trouble every day!?" "You can't mess with them …"    

    

"What bad luck, coming here to eat and drink for free is one thing, but you're actually causing trouble!"    

    

"If I knew earlier, I wouldn't have agreed to Mr Jianguo's invitation!"    

    

The few security guards' faces were extremely ugly to behold. That was because they saw that the Lady Boss had already walked to the side of the group of youngsters!    

    

Suddenly, the group of young people on the opposite table quietened down. They all turned to look at Chen Yi's table. Some of the young people even stood up!    

    

"Enough, stop talking nonsense!" Hsing Jianguo let out a low growl and grabbed onto a Beer Winebottle. Seeing this, the rest of them also put their hands on the chairs under their butts!    

    

They were not allowed to fight while on duty, but it was different when they were outside. They were merely afraid of trouble, but they had never been afraid of fighting for decades!    

    

At this time, the leader of the group of youngsters pointed at Chen Yi twice, then continued to turn his head and clamor even louder than before!    

    

The robust security guard let out a sigh of relief, "These brats don't care about their lives. It's better to not provoke them too much."    

    

Chen Yi didn't say anything. He just smiled and continued to drink the beer in front of him.    

    

They drank half of the beer under the stools in the latter part of the night.    

    

"I can't, I can't be old anymore, I have to go pee."    

    

With that, Hsing Jianguo stood up and walked to the other side of the road.    

    

The other security guards were either young or didn't want to admit that they were the same as Hsing Jianguo. Even though they were angry, none of them left their seats.    

    

However, just when Hsing Jianguo came back and sat down, seven or eight golden baker van stopped on the street and opened its doors wide. The 50-60 punk rushed out almost at the same time with a shiny machete in his hands!
