Shi Yuejian was leisurely trying out new cooking techniques when he suddenly heard the vibrating sounds of mobile phones in the living room.
"Dad, why don't you answer the phone?" She lowered her volume and asked loudly.
"Harassing phone calls." Mr. Shi replied concisely and concisely.
As soon as the vibration stopped, he immediately unlocked the screen, clicked on settings, and switched out of Do Not Disturb mode.
"Fortunately, old man, I have learned this trick recently, otherwise that brat wouldn't know how to be so proud!" Old Man Shi muttered to himself silently.
His information is quite well informed!
At this moment, Shi Yuejian came out of the kitchen, holding her mobile phone, and said half puzzled and half amused:
"Junior brother called me here..."
He said that his father could not be contacted and asked if something had happened.
He still cares about his teacher very much!
Old Shi's face darkened, he stretched out his palm and took the phone.

After hanging up the phone with satisfaction, Lou Cheng left the military base, arrived at Huacheng Heishui Airport, and flew directly to Gaofen, the capital of Xing Province.
When they landed, Yan Zheke just got up and saw the previous news. She excitedly communicated with him about the strange abilities of the "Witch King" lineage.
While chatting, Lou Cheng put on black-rimmed glasses that covered half of his face, took a taxi and headed to Gaofen city.
When he was in Huiyuan, he made an appointment with Jiang Fei and Qin Rui for a pre-holiday meal - by the time they were on holiday, he had already flown to the United States. He must cherish the opportunity once every six months, and as his reputation grows, he will be able to
There were two reasons why she couldn't enter the country. Fortunately, Keke only had one and a half years of courses left, which meant she had entered the country three times.
Before the peak of the traffic jam, Lou Cheng arrived at the restaurant Jiang Fei mentioned - "Lao Leng Chuan Chuan", and saw his best friend who seemed to be a little fatter and slicker.
"It's not easy. It's really not easy to have a meal with you now!" Jiang Fei stood up with a smile and pulled out a chair for Lou Cheng to place his backpack.
"Pang Jiang, what you said is untrue. If you want to come to Huacheng, I will be available anytime for lunch." Lou Cheng teased and asked casually, "Qin Rui isn't here yet?"
"It's blocked on the road. It's super blocked coming from the west. It'll probably take another five or six minutes." Jiang Fei pointed to the refrigerated cabinet with food and said, "You can take whatever you want to eat. I'll tell you, you can eat it in Gaofen."
Don't go to any big restaurants, don't go to any luxurious places, just eat at small roadside restaurants. As long as you find good ones, it goes without saying that the taste is great. This restaurant opened not long ago, and I have certified it.
It’s much better than the ones everywhere in chain stores, especially beef with celery, tsk tsk, you can try it.”
Lou Cheng glanced at the greasy but relatively clean store environment and asked with a smile:
"Is their family counting or weighing?"
In this kind of string business, you either need to count the number of sticks, weigh the overall weight of the sticks, and then divide it by the single standard to get the approximate data. This will not be very accurate, but it is more convenient.
"Count." Jiang Fei replied a little confused.
Lou Cheng laughed and made a joke:
"Then the waiter won't stop crying later?"
Jiang Fei immediately understood what he meant and couldn't help but sigh:
"You said you eat many times as much food as me, so why don't you get fat?"
"If you exercised as hard as I do, you wouldn't gain weight." Lou Cheng joked.
Jiang Fei's face twitched and he said to himself:
"But I will die..."
After saying that, the two of them laughed at the same time, stood up separately, found a large iron plate, and swept away the celery beef, coriander beef, five-spice beef, spicy beef, folded beef, etc. in the refrigerator.
"Can you eat so much?" The service girl looked on blankly.
There are at least six or seven hundred skewers, right?
The speed at which the kitchen skewers beef can’t keep up with this pace!
"There are many of us, but we haven't arrived yet." Lou Cheng explained seriously.
"Oh..." The service girl suddenly realized.
"Lao Leng Chuan Chuan" belongs to the hot pot category and needs to be cooked by yourself. Lou Cheng and Jiang Fei had just mixed the dipping ingredients and made a batch when they saw Qin Rui, who was over 1.9 meters tall, lowering his head and entering the store.
"Three drinks will be fined for being late!" Jiang Fatty shouted.
Because they both live in Gaofen, he and Qin Rui, two singles, have often had dinner dates in recent months, and have become much more familiar with each other than before.
"Uh, should I have tea instead of wine?" Qin Rui pulled up a chair and asked thoughtfully.
"Tea? We all drink drinks!" Jiang Fei laughed.
"Then I'll punish myself with three cans of herbal tea." Qin Rui immediately relaxed.
Seeing that his energy and blood were strong to a certain extent, Lou Cheng asked with great interest:
"Have you been attacking the alchemy realm recently?"
"Hey, forget it, I can't find my direction at all. I have increased the number of arena battles, but I still don't feel anything." Qin Rui responded half bitterly and half expectantly.
Since he came to Gaofen, he has joined a martial arts school where his master is familiar with him, and formed a team with a group of like-minded peers to participate in the trials. After repeated defeats and repeated defeats, he gradually transformed into a true ninth-level warrior. By this year
, and even signed up for many small-scale individual competitions, and received bonuses for the first time in his life.
Lou Cheng thought for a moment and said:
"Let's try something else. Don't be too busy with the game. Take some time to travel alone. It's best to go to an open, vast and magnificent place. You can learn to fish and delve into tea art. In short, find something else.
Do things and experience different lives to tap into the strength deep within you, the strength that supports you to move forward. If you have a feeling, then grasp it and design a certain way to sharpen your will."
"At this stage, my master once gave me ten words, and I will also give you the great elixir for the human body, which is bright and round."
"Well, I'll try it later..." Qin Rui nodded unclearly, but he had decided to do it.
After chatting about martial arts for a while, Lou Cheng brought up the signature, took off the beef, rolled it in the dipping sauce a few times, and then put it in his mouth. The meat was tender and smooth, and the taste of celery overcame his slight imperfection.
Coupled with the supplements of chili pepper, sesame oil, etc., the taste is excellent.
"Not bad! Fatty Jiang, you are quite good at eating!" Lou Cheng praised, then asked, "How is it? How are you doing in the factory recently?"
"It's still the same, what can we do if we study mechanics?" Jiang Fei suddenly said angrily, "I originally thought that I could meet girls working in the factory, but it turns out that in our company, most of them are men...
I feel like I will always be single..."
"I think I will always be lonely, lonely for the rest of my life..." Qin Rui helped him score the music.
"Don't be afraid. In a few years, your parents will arrange a blind date for you." Lou Cheng didn't know whether he was comforting or stimulating, "Besides, even if there are girls like that who work, you probably won't like them.
"
"Yeah, I feel like we have nothing in common. I won't know what to talk about when we get married..." Single Jiang Fei thought about life after marriage very far-sightedly, and then sighed, "Hey, the factory is quite boring. I'll watch it again in a while.
Before I could reach the ascending passage, many of the people in my group had gone there. The master who took me there kept praising me, saying that I was calm, not impetuous, and could calm down and do things. In fact, I was often upset, thinking about what to do.
I don’t want to take the postgraduate entrance examination, I want to start a business, but I forget about it when I turn around.”
"Ever since we met, I have always admired you for your good attitude and not forgetting your worries." Lou Cheng said sincerely, "When you have figured out the direction of your struggle, if you need help with anything, just come to me."
This is also the main reason why his friendship with Jiang Fatty can last forever instead of slowly fading away.
Some people can be friends for life, while others are just friends for a period.
Jiang Fei's eyes lit up and he said:
"Okay! I will remember what you said!"
Lou Cheng laughed twice and said jokingly: "Pang Jiang, I just said a few polite words, why are you so rude?"
"Hehe, shameless people live better!" Jiang Fei said with a proud smile.
While eating, Qin Rui remembered something and smiled:
"Nariko, outside your neighborhood, every holiday, it almost turns into an acrobatic performance venue."
"Why?" Lou Cheng was confused.
"Every holiday, many parents take their children who have just started practicing martial arts to exercise outside your community and perform 'stunts', wondering if a certain Waigang strongman will just come home and take a fancy to their children's potential.
, accept him as your disciple." Qin Rui explained without any literary talent.
Lou Cheng laughed dumbly: "Are they thinking too much?"
The neighbors know where our community is, so we can't hide it from anyone, but with the overt and covert care of the government and the military, things won't bother my parents in their daily lives.
"I've heard about this too. Last time I passed by, Nariko, let me tell you, I saw a monkey performer. I don't know if he came to perform to make money because there were so many people there, or if he wanted you to accept his monkey as his apprentice.
"Jiang Fei laughed.
Lou Cheng was immediately amused: "I can try to teach it to cultivate."
Since being promoted to Waigang, he has always gone home when he has free time, not on holidays.
After chatting on this topic for a while, Qin Rui asked curiously:
"Nariko, you haven't participated in the last few title matches. Are you recuperating and preparing for a blockbuster?"
"It's not a blockbuster, I just want to participate in a focused way. After the New Year, my goal is to play well in the top professional competitions and compete in the 'Martial Saint War' in May and the 'War of Kings' in December. Let's see how far we can go.
, As for other title battles, I might give up, or I might just get familiar with my opponent and practice my moves." Lou Cheng answered while thinking, a little complacent.
In May, it would have been nearly a year since I arrived in Waigang Realm, and in December, it would have been almost a year and a half!
"Then I wish you a better ranking!" Jiang Fei and Qin Rui each picked up their drinks.
The next day, Lou Cheng said goodbye to them and got on the high-speed train back to Xiushan. There were clouds outside the window and the weather was very bad.
When he arrived at his hometown and walked out of the high-speed rail station, he saw snowflakes falling.
Since Lou Cheng was born, there have only been three snowfalls in Xiushan, and this is the fourth!
"The auspicious snow heralds a good year." Lou Cheng smiled and sighed with emotion.
