288. Chapter 285 New Chapter 0259 Hidden Title Baturu
"It's really nothing this time... Last time we went to the library, your bank card fell on the stool. I'm here to give you the card."
As he spoke, Li Mengnan placed a black bank card casually on the table.
"My bank card? Oh, I said why can't I find it? Thank you."
Le Youyou was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Li Mengnan was covering up the borrowing of money for her to avoid rumors from spreading again, so she calmly put away the bank card and nodded to him secretly.
"You collected the money so quickly? If it's not enough, use it first. I'm not short of money now." While pouring wine and drinks, Le Youyou asked Li Mengnan in a low voice.
"Thank you, I have enough money. I made a small fortune recently." Li Mengnan smiled and refused.
"One million is not a small fortune. I don't think you are quite good at making money."
"Maybe I got it from robbery?"
"Business behavior itself is a kind of robbery. Is it possible that you always think of it as an exchange of equal value?"
What he said seemed to make sense, but Li Mengnan was speechless. Le Youyou always looked at problems from such a different perspective.
Not long after, the waiter brought a plate of grilled mutton skewers. The freshly baked meat skewers were sizzling with oil, and the aroma of meat mixed with cumin suddenly filled the air, making people move their index fingers.
"Come on, eat it while it's hot. I heard that this restaurant's mutton skewers are very famous." Le Youyou stood up, distributed disposable gloves, and enthusiastically greeted everyone to start eating.
"Sister Youyou, you are afraid that my success in losing weight will outshine you! You are so insidious..." Yu Meixin joked.
"To borrow Sister Youyou's famous saying, only when you are full can you have the strength to lose weight! Mei Xin, if you don't eat, I won't be polite!"
Like a greedy child, Chen Lingling was the first to reach out and grab the stainless steel dinner plate on the table, but Li Mengnan suddenly picked up the entire stainless steel plate and grabbed it empty.
"Hey! You're too ungentlemanly, aren't you? Don't you understand what it means to give priority to ladies?"
Yu Meixin's face darkened, but she did not use harsher words to save Le Youyou's face. If someone else had done this, she would have scolded the other party bloody.
"Li Mengnan, what happened?"
Le Youyou knows Li Mengnan very well and knows that although he likes to joke, he is also very careful about propriety and would never be so unscrupulous in front of someone he meets for the first time. There must be some reason for this.
"There's something wrong with this meat."
Everyone couldn't help being surprised when they heard this. Le Youyou lowered his voice and said in disbelief: "You mean, the meat used here is not real mutton, but the kind of rat meat reported in the news?"
The faces of the other women turned pale, and their stomachs couldn't help but churn when they thought about almost eating that disgusting thing.
"Imoral profiteer!"
Yu Meixin, who had a hot temper, was about to lift the table on the spot, but Li Mengnan held the table down and shook his head to signal her to calm down.
"Your associative power is too rich. Even if you want to eat it, where will there be so many rats for you to eat, and no one will breed those things..."
Rumors stop at the wise. When Li Mengnan saw that news report, he thought it was ridiculous. If someone really used wild rat meat to make kebabs, the cost would probably be higher than using real mutton. Only a fool would do that... But that's it.
Some people actually believed the nonsense reports.
The girls were all college students. After thinking about it carefully, they realized that what Li Mengnan said was indeed reasonable. Then their expressions softened slightly and Le Youyou asked: "Then what kind of meat are these?"
Li Mengnan picked up one of the bunches and looked at the sun to carefully check the texture of the meat. He tasted some of it himself and said with a smile: "It should be fox meat mixed with sheep tail oil. I guess you have never eaten this thing... Do you want to try it?"
fresh?"
The heads of these women were shaking like rattles, and they wouldn't eat those weird things even if I beat them to death.
"You are actually all suffering from mental disorders. Apart from the difference in taste, the difference in nutritional value between fox meat and mutton is actually very small."
The girls shook their heads again. They didn't care about the nutritional value. They only cared about the appearance of the food now.
Li Mengnan sighed, even what he ate had to be judged by his appearance. He was completely despairing of this world that judged his appearance.
"Forget it, I'll give you some mutton instead."
Li Mengnan raised his hand to call the waiter, pointed at the meat skewers on the tray, and whispered a few words in the other person's ear. The waiter's face immediately changed and he hurriedly ran to notify the boss.
The owner of the shop was a little panicked when he heard that the discerning person was here. He came over and apologized and complained. Seeing that the other person was keeping such a low profile, Li Mengnan was not polite and asked the owner for a leg of lamb and a full set of barbecue.
Tools, this matter has been revealed.
"Just let this profiteer go?"
Yu Meixin was unwilling to give up. In her opinion, this matter would be completely blown up today. The police, prosecutors, law, news media, etc. would all be called in to completely discredit this shoddy businessman and punish him until he loses his entire family.
"It's not easy for people to run a small business. Nowadays, mutton costs a pound. You can't let people lose money and make a profit, right? Compared with those businesses that use spoiled meat, this boss is already very conscientious in using fox meat. He needs to be spared.
Please be merciful..."
Li Mengnan took out a knife with a strong ethnic style, skillfully sliced the leg of lamb in his hand, and called on the girls to help thread the meat onto clean bamboo sticks.
"You actually carry a controlled knife with you?" Le Youyou was very interested in Li Mengnan's knife. It was obviously not a mass-produced cheap product that cost more than ten yuan a piece on Taobao.
"This is a traditional folk custom over there. A boy is considered an adult when he is thirteen years old. At the coming-of-age ceremony, everyone will get a knife like this. It is not very effective in self-defense, but it is very useful for cutting meat."
Yu Meixin's beautiful eyes flashed, as if she had discovered something, and said to Li Mengnan: "Can you lend me this knife?"
"sure."
Li Mengnan wiped off the grease on the blade with a napkin, returned the knife to its sheath, turned the handle and handed the knife to Yu Meixin across from him.
Yu Meixin pulled out the blade. After checking it repeatedly, she couldn't help but look surprised. She looked at Li Mengnan in disbelief and said, "Isn't this knife of yours just a commemoration of an adult ceremony?"
Li Mengnan smiled and said nothing. He was actually a little surprised. He didn't expect to meet someone knowledgeable here.
Gossip is the nature of all women. When the other women heard this, they immediately pricked up their ears. Le Youyou looked puzzled and said: "What kind of riddles are you two playing? Stop being so pretentious and tell me quickly!"
"
"I have a cousin who is from Mongolia, and he has a knife like this in his room, but it is just an imitation handicraft, not the real thing. He told me that in some remote areas of Mongolia, there are still
Retaining the ancient coming-of-age ritual customs, boys over the age of thirteen must hunt a wild beast with their own hands before they can be considered adults, and the wild beast they hunt will be engraved as a pattern on the side of this portable short knife.
On the hilt of the knife..."
Yu Meixin glanced at Li Mengnan and saw that he was smiling and had no intention of stopping him. He handed the knife to Le Youyou and others and passed it around in turn, saying: "Look at the pattern on the handle, it is a wolf head. This is already a wolf head."
The most ferocious beast you can find on the grassland."
The girls couldn't help but clicked their tongues after reading the biography. Le Youyou looked at him with strange eyes as if she was getting to know Li Mengnan all over again, and asked: "Li Mengnan, have you really killed a wolf?"
For girls, even a barking pug can scare them into disgrace. They cannot imagine how terrifying it would be to face a hungry wolf alone on a deserted grassland.
Before Li Mengnan could speak, Yu Meixin took over the topic again and said like a treasure: "Sister Youyou, it seems that you still don't understand Lanyan of yours too well. He is not as simple as killing a wolf..."
"Oh? Is there any secret on this knife?" Chen Lingling, a kid at heart, asked impatiently.
Yu Meixin took the knife out of its sheath, pointed at a series of swerving patterns before swallowing, and said: "This is Mongolian, transliterated as 'Batulu'. Anyone who has watched the Qing palace braid drama should know that this is
What do you mean... It’s not easy to get this title, let alone get it at the coming-of-age ceremony. As for the specific situation, I can’t guess. I can only ask our ‘Batulu’ himself.”
Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Mengnan. Li Mengnan knew that he would not be able to escape today unless he turned his back on his old man. He could only shrug his shoulders helplessly and said: "I killed thirteen wolves, including a wolf king..."
I was so unlucky that day that I ran into a pack of wolves, and I almost lost my life. If I had known earlier that I would encounter such an unlucky thing, what kind of devil would I want to be called Baturu, and I couldn't eat or drink anything."
Of course, it is not accurate to say that there are no privileges. People with the title of "Batulu" will be warmly received by all the herdsmen on the grassland, which is roughly equivalent to a permanent meal ticket for free food and drinks.
But it's useless in a city like this. People don't recognize it, and you can't use it as a meal card when you go to the cafeteria. You might even be pressed on the spot by the school security department. After all, it's a controlled knife.
Although there was only an understatement, the picture painted was far beyond the imagination of the women here. They racked their brains to imagine, and there were only a few scenes in their minds that seemed to be from "Man and Nature"
.
Chen Lingling was even more unreliable. She actually thought of a group of uncles and aunts walking their dogs in the park every day.
"You are so awesome."
All the girls sighed in unison,
There will be a terrifying shadow squatting at the door of every Chinese child's home when he was young. The name of this shadow is - the big bad wolf.
Anyway, whether it is a wolf or a group of wolves, they are unimaginably terrifying existences.
It's a pity that the Huaxia Kingdom has respected culture and suppressed martial arts since ancient times. The powerful force is amazing, but it has never been the decisive criterion to measure the success of a man. Even if he is as powerful as the overlord Xiang Yu, he will not be able to succeed in the end.
Let’s call it a brute and reckless man’s evaluation. This is especially true in today’s modern society where money is first and face is second.
Therefore, after the brief admiration, the attitudes of the women present towards Li Mengnan did not change much, and the looks of admiration like a hero disappeared at all.
"Speaking of awesome, Sister Youyou, do you know who your old enemy Zhuang Jia's new boyfriend is?" Yu Meixin casually chatted while helping to thread Li Mengnan's sliced meat into bamboo skewers.
"The girl who shows off her wealth has changed her boyfriend again? I remember seeing her with that school sweetheart Jin Korra for a while..."
It seems that the sisters in Le Youyou's dormitory have a good relationship. Even the seemingly heartless Chen Lingling knows that Le Youyou has such an "old enemy".
"I saw her walking with Wu Mingyuan yesterday, but I don't know if she is her boyfriend." Nie Xiaoqian, whose presence was so weak that she was almost ignored, finally interjected weakly.
"Wu Mingyuan? Xiaoqian, are you reading that right? Is he really that Wu Mingyuan?" Chen Lingling's expression was extremely exaggerated.
"Who is Wu Mingyuan? Is he famous?"
Le Youyou asked casually without caring. If her bedmate hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have cared about who was next to Zhuang Jia.
The title "old enemy" has always been imposed by Zhuang Jia between the two of them. If it weren't for the fact that they were from the same hometown and the same school, Le Youyou wouldn't want to talk to her at all.
"Wu Mingyuan, you don't even know?" Chen Lingling's eyes widened with an expression like "You're out". She waved the bamboo stick with half of the meat skewers in her hand and said excitedly: "You know last week, our university's martial arts club and
Is it about a friendly match between Tung Choi Martial Arts Club?"
Le Youyou looked confused. She had not joined any clubs and never cared about club activities.
"I know, it was said to be a friendly match, but in fact it seemed to be a game." Li Mengnan had heard of this incident, but the outcome was unknown.
"The Donghai University Martial Arts Club has lost to our Donghai University in competitions in the past years. This year they seem to have recruited a very powerful newcomer. It is said that he was the provincial champion in some youth Sanda competition. He beat the president of our Donghai University Martial Arts Club on the field.
Falling flowers and flowing water..."
Li Mengnan took it over casually: "The enemy yelled wildly and no one dared to respond. At this moment, a young hero shouted angrily, "The traitor is so rampant. He jumped on the stage with three punches and two kicks, and knocked his opponent to the ground in defiance."
I spat - you thief, are you trying to bully me into thinking that there is no one in Donghai University?"
"Yeah, that's about it." Chen Lingling nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Why does this section sound familiar?" Le Youyou pinched her fleshy round chin and wondered.
"Are you not familiar with it? Add the 'Sick Man of East Asia' sign, and it becomes the script of Fist of Fury... But the heroes appear in basically the same way, saving the world from danger, and saving all sentient beings from fire and water." Li Mengnan didn't care.
Curse your lips.
"Haha, don't say it, it's really like that."
Li Mengnan's eccentric antics made all the girls present burst into laughter.
