Chapter 282 Good News (Part )
Liu Zhiye gave Li Shengli a severe lesson and then reminded him that he must keep a certain distance from Liu Zhiruo.
He then went home very angry.
Gan Ning came back from get off work and saw that he looked unhappy. She wondered, "Why are you back so early? Didn't you go to take my little sister to take the exam?"
Liu Zhiye said helplessly: "I sent it, but I came back again."
Then he added, "She's grown up now and doesn't need me anymore!" He said this with a sour tone.
Gan Ning laughed when he saw this and asked curiously, "What's going on? Tell me quickly."
So Liu Zhiye told her what happened this morning, "Hey, this is it..."
After hearing this, Gan Ning finally understood why Liu Zhiye had such a sullen expression. It would be strange for him, as a brother, to be happy if his cabbages were to be eaten by wild boars!
She understood Liu Zhiye's feelings. When she was dating Liu Zhiye, her brother who was in the army found out and had the same expression.
Gan Meng wanted to come back immediately and talk to Liu Zhiye in a "manly way", but unfortunately he had no choice and was unable to do so.
"Oh my! What do I think? Zhiruo is already a grown-up girl, what's wrong with having a relationship? Is it necessary for you to be so unhappy?"
"Can you still keep her by your side and never marry her?"
"Besides, Li Shengli is not bad either. Not to mention his family background, he is also a top student at Beijing University. Although he is not as good-looking as you, he is also a talented person."
Liu Zhiye sighed and said, "I know all this, I'm just unhappy. I'm not against Zhiruo dating, it's just... Oh, forget it, I can't tell you. I have to pick her up and take her home for dinner later!"
Gan Ning rolled her eyes at him and said, "I think you are just being pretentious. Don't act so arrogant when you see me later!"
"Don't make things difficult for her, okay? It will affect her mood and delay her exams, which will be bad."
Liu Zhiye walked out of the house without looking back, and replied: "Okay! She is the oldest these days, after these few days..."
Gan Ning stood behind him and said angrily, "Be good, come back soon. We are waiting for you two to come back and have dinner together."
…………
After the college entrance examination, Liu Zhiruo walked out of the examination room with ease. Unlike other candidates who were anxious and worried about gains and losses, she seemed exceptionally confident.
After the intense and fierce exam, she finally had her moment.
As soon as she went out, she saw her brothers and sisters-in-law who had been waiting for a long time. When she saw them, she was immediately very excited and shouted, "Brother, sister-in-law!" Then she rushed towards them like a bird flying into the forest.
Liu Zhiye opened his arms, waiting for his little cabbage to come into his arms. He thought happily in his heart: "Hehe! No matter what, her brother is still the most important!"
However, Liu Zhiruo passed by him lightly like a gust of wind and threw himself directly into Gan Ning's arms behind him.
The three sisters-in-law were gathered together in a lively atmosphere, chattering non-stop, while Liu Zhiye, their closest brother, was left aside by them.
At this moment, they saw that Liu Zhiye was still in the posture of wanting to hug them, and looked at them awkwardly.
"That's so funny!" The three girls burst into laughter upon seeing this, making him frown.
When Liu Zhiye saw his brother Liu Zhitai looking at him teasingly, his face suddenly darkened and he threatened, "What are you looking at? You little brat, I can't bring myself to do that to those three, but I'm not sure about you.
Under the suppression of his natural bloodline, Liu Zhitai dared not refute at all. He could only touch his nose helplessly and look into the distance.
After a while, Liu Zhiruo suddenly remembered something, and her eyes began to look around with an anxious look, as if she was looking for someone.
Seeing this, Liu Zhiye was so angry that his teeth itched. He said sinisterly, "Zhiruo, what are you looking for?"
Liu Zhiruo said in a panic: "No, I didn't find anything!" She was a little disappointed when she didn't see Li Shengli.
Then he said, "Brother, I'm hungry. Didn't you say you would treat me to a nice meal after the exam? Let's go!"
Liu Zhiye was jealous, and he deliberately said, "When did I say that? Oh! Why don't I remember it?" His tone seemed a little careless, as if he was hiding something.
Liu Zhiruo was a foodie, and she got anxious when she heard this: "Oh! How can you go back on your word and gain weight!" Not having delicious food made her more upset than getting unsatisfactory test scores.
"Sister-in-law, look at my brother..." She was unwilling and acted coquettishly with her sister-in-law Gan Ning.
Gan Ning looked at the siblings bickering with amusement. She really couldn't stand this delicate little girl, so she said, "Come on, stop shaking me! I'm dizzy."
"If your brother doesn't invite you, your sister-in-law will."
"Is this finally done?"
Liu Zhiruo shouted in delight: "Sister-in-law! Long live!"…………
The brothers and sisters had just arrived at the eastern edge of Qianhai, Shichahai, Xicheng District.
You might be wondering what they are doing here?
Let me tell you, of course they came here to eat barbecue. There is a restaurant called "Barbecue Season" here. The roasted lamb they sell is well-known and has the reputation of "Nanwan Beiji".
The "Kaomei Ji" restaurant was formerly known as "Luquanju". Because the owner's surname is Ji, it is commonly known as "Kaomei Ji". It is a specialty restaurant with halal flavor.
In the old days, there were three major barbecue restaurants in the old capital, namely "Kaorou Wan", "Kaorou Ji" and "Kaorou Wang".
The "BBQ Season" restaurant is located by the picturesque Shichahai Lake, just a stone's throw away from the Yinding Bridge, one of the Eight Scenic Spots of Yanjing in Beijing, which adds a lot of historical weight to this century-old brand.
"Kao Rou Ji" has a long history. It was founded during the Daoguang period and is a time-honored Chinese restaurant with a history of more than 120 years.
According to legend, in the 28th year of the reign of Emperor Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty, Ji Decai, a Hui Muslim from Tongzhou, east of the capital, set up a stall in the "Lotus Market" by the Shichahai Lake to sell roasted lamb and put up a banner that read "Roast Meat Season".
The Ji family has been running a barbecued lamb business here for many years. After saving some money, they bought a small building and officially opened the "Barbecue Ji" barbecue restaurant.
The location of "Barbecue Season" is right at the Yinding Mountain Viewing Point. Facing the clear water, gazing at the sunset over the western hills, it is indeed a great place to enjoy barbecue.
The Drum Tower, just a stone's throw away to the north, is a famous commercial and prosperous place in the capital. Merchants and tourists from all directions have brought unprecedented development and prosperity to the barbecue season.
The "wildness" of eating barbecue and the "wild flavor" of eating barbecue attract diners from all walks of life to come and satisfy their appetite.
As soon as Liu Zhiye and his siblings arrived here, they met an unexpected person - Li Shengli.
Liu Zhiye looked at their expressions without surprise and instantly understood something. He thought to himself, "Thank you, I'm the only one who was kept in the dark!"
"What are you doing here?" Liu Zhiye said expressionlessly.
Li Ming said with a shameless face: "Brother, I am here to eat, are you too?"
"It's just right for us to go together!"
Liu Zhiye stared at the pretty boy in front of him, and couldn't help but feel annoyed. Seeing him pretending to be stupid again, Liu Zhiye's anger intensified.
He refused directly: "No need, we are having a family gathering, it is not convenient to have outsiders." Then he was about to walk around him and go inside.
Liming said hurriedly: "Oh!"
"Brother, why do you have to keep me at a distance? Just give me a chance!"
"How about I treat you guys to a meal?"
Gan Ning also persuaded, "Zhiye, I think Xiao Li is sincere, why don't we let him treat us once!" She added carefully, "After all, we are all friends, and it will be more lively if we have more people together, right?"
Liu Zhiruo immediately agreed, "Yes, brother, Li Shengli is not an outsider, isn't he your friend?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhiye glared at Gan Ning angrily. The meaning of his eyes was very clear, meaning, wait until I get home and see how I will deal with you.
He turned his gaze to the smug Li Shengli and secretly decided to teach him a lesson that he would never forget.
"If you really want to treat me, I can, but do you have the money?"
Li Shengli patted his chest and swore confidently: "Brother, just eat as much as you want. This little money is just a drop in the bucket for you!" His words revealed a strong sense of self-esteem and determination, as if telling the other party that this little money was not worth his consideration at all.
Liu Zhiye said, "Okay! That's what I've been waiting for you to say! Hehe..." So he said, "Okay! Then you can treat me, but I have to be full, otherwise I won't agree with you."
Upon hearing this, Li Shengli said happily, "Okay! Please come in, brother!" The joy in his heart was beyond words. It seemed that this was just a good beginning.
As for Liu Zhiye's words about having a big meal, it did not cause any trouble to him at all. After all, no matter how much a person can eat, there is always a limit.
As the group entered the restaurant, they were immediately led by the enthusiastic waiter to an elegant private room.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see a big round iron grill with pine cones and pine wood burning underneath, which gives off a fragrant smell.
The way of eating here is also very interesting. When eating barbecue, everyone stands around the stove, with one foot on a long bench and one foot on the ground.
In one hand, he holds the condiment bowl, which contains a mixture of soy sauce, vinegar, minced ginger, cooking wine, braised shrimp oil, chopped green onions, and coriander leaves.
Hold a long bamboo chopstick in one hand, dip the thinly sliced mutton into seasoning, and grill it on the fire. When the meat is cooked, eat it with pickled garlic, cucumber strips, hot ox tongue biscuits, or drink with wine.
