Chapter seven hundred and eighteen: using power for personal gain
Cheng Muyan shuddered and immediately put the crabs into the empty bucket. While the others were amazed, he hurriedly ran out of the kitchen.
There were four crabs in the empty bucket, each of them the size of a millstone. Their shells were red and bright, and their pliers were large and sharp, but they were tied tightly with a rope made of grass, making them useless.
"Master, this crab is so big, and it feels like the aura inside is so strong." As expected of his beloved disciple, he fell in love with this big crab at a glance, and his voice from afar was filled with wonder.
Cheng Muyan breathed a sigh of relief, touched her face which was burning red due to lack of oxygen, grinned, determined the direction, and headed straight towards the small courtyard.
But here, Chef Li, who was once again rewarded by the city lord but was rewarded with a big crab for the first time, rubbed his hands and drove away the disciples and disciples who had gathered around to watch the fun, leaving only his beloved disciple beside him.
He buried his head in the barrel and stared at the big red-shelled crab for a long time. Then he straightened up, pretended to be serious, and praised with relief on his face: "You performed well today! As expected of me, Lao Li."
Disciple, if that stupid disciple of Lao Liu is here, I’m afraid these four big crabs will be killed by that little girl again!”
"Okay, okay, pick out one of these four crabs and move the others to my yard!" Shameless Li asked for three crabs to fill his pocket without any politeness.
One can imagine who would own these three crabs if they were brought to his own yard.
However, the apprentice also had a proud look on his face. Not only did he carry away three crabs, he also picked up five more large turtles as usual, all of which were sent to his master Lao Li's yard as a courtesy.
Lao Li clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the lonely, staring orphan crab in the barrel, as well as the turtle's family of three. He always felt a little bit disappointed. What's going on?
When he first received the city lord's reward, he had to blow the cowhide out of the way, otherwise the remaining turtle family of three and the orphan crab would be his alone, which would be a waste of money for Lao Liu.
Lao Li covered his heart and felt a tightness in his chest. He turned away with a sigh and asked someone to clean all the turtles and orphan crabs in the family of three.
What should be stewed should be stewed, and what should be steamed should be steamed. He couldn't see it anymore. Get it away as soon as possible, so that it wouldn't hang around in front of him all the time. It was like someone had cut a hole in his heart with a knife.
It hurts and leaks!
Why...it's so cheap, Lao Li!
This turtle and crab have survived for who knows how many years. When he ate this turtle for the first time a month and a half ago, the bottleneck that had blocked him for many years was loosened. When he burped at night, he immediately got out of control.
, rushed directly from the ninth level of the spiritual disciple to the second level of the spiritual disciple, which directly broke through the two-level barrier.
He was stunned on the spot and almost cried with joy, dancing and singing in the yard to celebrate.
However, fortunately, I thought that it was in the middle of the night and I couldn't disturb the people, so I forcibly held it back. I got up the next day and was going to brag to Old Liu Tou. But when I got up, I saw that Old Liu Tou was very proud of himself and had a happy face. He didn't know what was going on.
What a good thing, even it looks like there are two fewer wrinkles.
"I had a breakthrough last night!"
Before he could speak, such a happy and great thing came out of the other party's mouth, and he held his hand and shook it with excitement: "I have been stuck on the third floor of the Spirit for fifteen years.
I thought I could only stay here for the rest of my life, but last night, I had a breakthrough! Hahahahahaha..."
Lao Li: "..."
It sounds like no one can break through yet, right?
"Did you hear that? I had a breakthrough last night! I said that turtle must be a good thing! I drank more than half a bowl yesterday, but I had a breakthrough last night! I... I, it's just... ugh
Woohoo~”
As he spoke, he started crying again, with tears streaming down his face. Lao Li was dumbfounded. Isn't this just a breakthrough? What about it? It's not like they can't continue to break through later, they still have several in their hands.
Looking at Lao Liu who was crying and laughing in front of him, Lao Li felt sour in his heart, as if he had gone back to the time when the huge surprise hit him on the head when he faced the breakthrough last night, and he was in disbelief and ecstasy.
However, fortunately, he is a relatively open-minded person, and he usually releases his emotions on the spot, instead of holding them back like Old Liu Tou and insisting on showing them to him today.
Therefore, Lao Li put away the complicated emotions in his heart, patted Lao Liu on the shoulder, and said calmly: "It's okay, it's okay. Anyway, we still have several of them, which are enough for us to make a breakthrough. The current breakthrough is just the beginning.
"
"Really?" Lao Liu raised his eyes that were red from crying and looked at him. Lao Liu, who was obviously more than ten years older than him, looked like a child in need of comfort. Lao Li was also afraid of his answer.
It hurt Lao Liu's fragile little heart, and he nodded firmly: "Yes, that girl sent six turtles over at once. Didn't we just eat one yesterday?"
Just such a sentence, and because of Chef Li's own naturally weak heart, from now on, in front of Chef Liu... it was as if there were no secrets.
After tasting the benefits of turtle, Chef Li also sighed and lamented why he had such a holy heart, and at the same time, he began to use power for personal gain in a secretive way.
Anyway, that adult didn’t tell him and Lao Liu how much to divide, right?
The benefits he can give out are already due to his kindness. For example, when he got crabs today, he immediately asked his lover to keep one, just so that Lao Liu could have a taste.
There are not many people as kind and selfless as him anymore!
Old Li sighed with concern for the country and the people, and then directed a room full of apprentices, Sun, to carefully look after his family of three turtles and orphan crabs, and then went to the canteen in the village.
There is something good again today, I have to show it off to Old Liu, and brag about it to the entire staff in the Zhuangzi canteen!
Face is a good thing, otherwise Lao Li would not be hiding turtles and crabs secretly now, ahem...
Cheng Muyan returned to her small courtyard from the cafeteria. She had no idea about the intrigues between the two cafeterias. She was very happy after getting so many snacks.
Pushing open the courtyard door, he found Qing Huan and the others already waiting. He smiled and walked over: "Is everything done?"
"Well, you can go, everything is here." Qing Huan nodded. Guo Guo and Bai Zelin also nodded.
Cheng Muyan didn't waste any time and led the three of them directly into the project. It was still the same place they were familiar with before they went out last time, except that the weeds they had cleaned up appeared again.
