Since everyone apologized, Huang Xiaolong didn’t pursue the matter further.
It was getting late and everyone was hungry.
Leng Kai and Song Jian gathered and whispered amongst themselves.
“Damn, this country bumpkin sure has a sharp tongue…” Leng Kai looked disgruntled. Even though he’d been put in his place by Huang Xiaolong, his vengeful nature demanded that he regain his dignity.
“Leng Kai, what should we do?” Song Jian asked.
“Anyway, we’re already involved with him! No rush, we’ll bide our time, seize an opportunity to embarrass him, let him lose face!” A hint of revenge reflected in Leng Kai’s eyes.
“Huang Xiaolong, didn’t you invite us to dinner?” Song Jian approached Huang Xiaolong. “But we can’t really eat your Dragon-Phoenix Soup… How about roasting a few sheep for us?”
Song Jian was counting on the fact that Huang Xiaolong didn’t have much money, so insisted on eating a whole roasted sheep, hoping to make Huang Xiaolong squirm.
“Oh, are you guys so fond of having roasted sheep?” Huang Xiaolong sounded somewhat regretful. “Actually, this Dragon-Phoenix Soup is very delicious. If you all don’t eat it, will it have to be dumped? What a waste…”
“Little Long, don’t eat that…” Song Yuru pulled Huang Xiaolong aside and whispered, “The snake in the soup was vomited up from Qinghan’s stomach, don’t eat it.”
Song Yuru was a bit of a neat freak.
She had a good impression of Huang Xiaolong, even having a subconscious liking for him, naturally she wouldn’t want him to eat the snake raised in her best friend’s belly.
Just then—
A few people sniffing the air strode over.
“The aroma is coming from here! Found it!” The leader was a chubby middle-aged man who, like discovering a new land, pointed at the pot of Dragon-Phoenix Soup. His face, full of pleasure, as if he was indulging, “So fragrant! Too fragrant! I’ve eaten all over the country and never smelt something so delicious…”
These people all had faces brimming with longing.
“Excuse me, who made this pot of delicacy?” The chubby man asked.
“Oh, I made it, Dragon-Phoenix Soup.” Huang Xiaolong responded.
“Ah! So, it’s Dragon-Phoenix Soup! Precious, precious! Dragon-Phoenix Soup is a renowned Han delicacy, belonging to the Fujian style, adding medicinal herbs makes it a nourishing medicated meal! Snake meat, chicken, containing protein, fat, carbohydrates, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamins, suitable for people with severe allergies, weak constitution, blood deficiency, malnutrition.” The chubby man animatedly replied, rubbing his hands together.
Well, this group of people were food lovers!
“Young man, are you a professional chef! This pot of Dragon-Phoenix Soup, just finished, right? Seems like you haven’t eaten yet.” The chubby man looked pleased as he addressed Huang Xiaolong.
“Yes, just finished.” Huang Xiaolong nodded.
“Well… well… Young man, let’s make a deal.” The chubby man pleaded with
Huang Xiaolong. “We are food lovers, true food lovers… give us this pot of Dragon-Phoenix Soup, how about it?”
“Huh?” Huang Xiaolong hesitated.
“Young man, the aroma has us drooling!” The chubby man swallowed hard.
“Young man, ten thousand yuan, we buy it, okay? It’s me begging you!” Goodness, food lovers put on quite a show when faced with delicious food…
10,000 yuan?
Consider this, the Dragon-Phoenix Soup Huang Xiaolong cooked, using a few roosters, low-cost seasonings and collected herbs and spices, not factoring in the cost of the snake spit out by Shu Qinghan. The total was only a few hundred yuan. Selling it for 10,000, that’s a handsome profit.
“Is it really necessary? Spending 10,000 yuan to buy this soup.” Leng Kai’s face expressed doubt.
“You don’t get it. For us food lovers, money doesn’t matter. The most important thing is to be able to eat genuine delicacies. In reality, spending 10,000 yuan on this Dragon-Phoenix Soup, we are the ones who actually profit.” The chubby man seriously replied.
“Sure, give me 10,000 yuan, and this pot of Dragon-Phoenix Soup is yours.” Huang Xiaolong agreed readily.
Man, this money sure is easy to make.
The fat guy cheerfully took a stack of fresh banknotes from his bag and handed them to Huang Xiaolong. It was exactly 10,000 yuan, not a penny more, not a penny less.
Huang Xiaolong, now holding the money, waved to Leng Kai, Song Jian and the others. “Are you guys sure you don’t want some roast whole lamb? I know a place, let’s go eat some now.”
Having said that, Huang Xiaolong left with Song Yuru and Shu Qinghan.
“Damn!” Leng Kai’s face was gloomy, and he cursed. “That bloody peasant has managed to steal the limelight again! Selling a pot of disgusting stuff for 10 ,ooo yuan? I can only say there are too many idiots in this world!”
“Let’s go. I don’t believe this peasant will always have the upper hand! Wait and see! Once I get the chance, I’ll make him kneel down and call me daddy!” Song Jian’s eyes were filled with malice.
Before long, Huang Xiaolong bought several roasted whole lambs, and everyone gathered to dine on the verdant grass.
Shu Qinghan and Song Yuru were the happiest. They laughed and chatted while eating. From time to time, Song Yuru would tear off some lamb and feed it to Huang Xiaolong. Unconsciously, the two appeared to be displaying their affection.
Huang Xiaolong took out a medicinal pill from his knapsack and handed it to Shu Qinghan. “Qinghan, this is a ‘Little Yuan Replenishing Pill’, made by refining hundreds of different herbs that I collected from the mountain. This is the last one. It’s for you. It replenishes the essence and invigorates the energy. It’s to replenish the energy that you’ve lost recently.”
After all, she had been carrying a snake inside her for several months. Even though she had spit out the snake today, Shu Qinghan was still a bit weak.
She accepted the pill with a smile and swallowed it immediately.
Not long after, Shu Qinghan felt significantly rejuvenated, warm blood coursed through her veins. It was a feeling of comfort she couldn’t describe. A hint of beautiful flush appeared on her baby-like face, making her look even more charming and youthful.
“Little Long, this pill is amazing! I feel much better now!” Shu Qinghan looked at Huang Xiaolong with a strange expression, then tore a piece of meat from the lamb leg in her hand and fed it to Huang Xiaolong. “Hehe, Little Long, this is a reward for vou.”
Watching the two ‘golden flowers’ of Binhai University, Song Yuru and Shu Qinghan, showing such affection toward Huang Xiaolong, Leng Kai and Song Jian felt a bitter taste in their hearts.
These two girls are the school flowers of Binhai University, goddesses in the hearts of countless men, the objects of their fantasies, and they are displaying such affection toward a pathetic country boy.
When they first met, Song Jian and the others looked down on Huang Xiaolong, mocked him, and scorned him. But now? Now he was surrounded by beauties. The burn of jealousy on their faces was as real as the sting of a slap.
After finishing the roast lamb, Leng Kai stood up and suggested. “Let’s do this. We are all free this afternoon, let me take you to a karaoke place. There is a new KTV in Xin@cheng@ district called ‘Golden Splendor’. Its facilities are top-notch. I am a gold card member of the place. Let’s go there to celebrate for Shu Qinghan.”
Leng Kai’s eyes flickered a few times, thinking, ‘What’s so amazing about this country bumpkin? I’ll show you what high-class consumption and taste are like. May as well introduce you to my network too!’
After Huang Xiaolong’s dazzling performance today, Leng Kai was determined to hit back and incidentally find an opportunity to teach Huang Xiaolong a lesson!
“Yes, I’ve never been to ‘Golden Splendor’,” Chen Shuangshuang agreed first.
Ye Jian and the others also chimed in agreement.
“Uh… KTV?” Huang Xiaolong looked puzzled. “I’ve never been to a KTV before. We don’t even have one in our village or H county…
“Hahaha, Huang Xiaolong, since you’ve never been, I’ll take you there. Just don’t embarrass yourself. It’s a high-class place.” Leng Kai teased, laughing. Finally, his sense of superiority revived!
“All right, let’s go have some fun,” Shu Qinghan chuckled. Actually, she was not very keen to hang out with Leng Kai and Song Jian. But since she didn’t want to part with Huang Xiaolong so soon, she agreed to their plan of going to ‘Golden Splendor’ KTV, “Little Long, you should try it since you’ve never been to a KTV. Don’t worry, it’s not a big deal.”
“Oh, dear, have you ever been to this ‘Golden Splendor’ KTV?” Huang Xiaolong turned to Song Yuru.
“Uh… I can’t afford to spend money in such places.” Song Yuru laughed.
“Alright, since none of us have been there before, let’s go together,” Huang Xiaolong laughed.
Leng Kai and Song Jian exchanged glances. Each thought, ‘Huang Xiaolong, you country bumpkin, we’ll find a way to shame you this time, to make you lose face!’
