Chapter 99 was full of variables

  Li Xiaoteng lowered his head to tidy up the things in his hand, a large bowl of turtle jelly as black as ink jade, and as smooth as congealed fat. In the crystal clear ice cubes, it gave people an extra drooling feeling.

  Kong Zhen drooled, just wanting to take a bite. Next to him, Jiang Di stood with his arms crossed, staring intently at the turtle jelly in Li Xiaoteng's hand.

  Just then, Brother Toward rushed in and loudly shouted: "Something's wrong! Something's wrong! Mr. Li, something has happened outside!"

  Li Xiaoteng tilted his head and looked over, asking in a displeased tone: "What's wrong?"

  The brother hastily said: "Outside, Director Zhao and a big black man are quarreling, you'd better go take a look quickly!"

  Li Xiaoteng immediately put down the spatula in his hand, grabbed a towel from beside him, and wiped his hands casually. He turned around and ran out. Kong Zhen looked back at the turtle jelly with some reluctance, swallowed hard, and followed Li Xiaoteng out.

  Li Xiaoteng had just run to the door and almost burst out laughing. He saw Zhao Baozi pulling Yang Bi and shouting: "Are you or are you not a brother? Are you or are you not a brother?" Repeatedly asking Yang Bi the same question. Zhao Baozi's expression was indescribably comical and laughable.

  Li Xiaoteng hurried over and grabbed Fang Baozi's wrist, his face stern as he asked: "Dong Ge, what's wrong? We're brothers, why are you yelling?"

  Zhao Baozi's face turned red with anger and he said, "Teng Ge, you've come at just the right time. Tell him, Yang Biao is actually going to immigrate to America with his parents!"

  It was like a thunderbolt, and suddenly Li Xiaoteng was stunned. Li Xiaoteng asked in disbelief: "Biao Ge, are you immigrating?" Yang Biao said gloomily: "Teng Ge, I told you last time, this gathering might be our last! My dad has handled the immigration procedures, and everything is almost done on the American side. Even the house, my dad has already bought it!"

  Li Xiaoteng asked with a cold face: "Are you sure you want to leave?" Yang Biao sighed and said helplessly: "I've already bought my ticket! The day after tomorrow's flight!"

  Li Xiaoteng looked at Zhao Baozi. Zhao Baozi saw Li Xiaoteng looking at him and suddenly grabbed Yang Biao's collar, asking: "What about the promise of being brothers for a lifetime? What about sharing good fortune and bad luck together? Can you speak English? You ran off to America! What about your girlfriend?"

  Yang Biao shook his head helplessly and said, "If there's a chance in the future, I'll take her over. If not...I can only say sorry." After finishing speaking, he thought for a moment and then said in a low voice, "After all, women are like clothes, but brothers are like hands and feet!"

  Zhao Pàngzi's face turned red with rage. He tightly grabbed Yang Biao's collar and continued to shout furiously. Li Xiaoteng didn't say a word either, lowering his head to think about his own affairs.

  Zhao Pàngzi asked discontentedly: "Teng Ge, speak up! Why are you hanging your head in silence?" Li Xiaoteng looked up at Zhao Pàngzi and said calmly: "Sit down first. Let's talk after we sit down."

  Kong Zhen and Jiang Di stood on the steps, watching Li Xiaoteng and others performing this initial commotion. Jiang Di shook his head silently. Kong Zhen said to Jiang Di in a displeased tone: "Alright, let's not watch anymore." Pointing at the scattered projector screen, he said: "There's something in my eyes, hurry up and set up the projector and screen!"

  Li Xiaoteng pulled Zhao Baozi and Yang Bi, the three brothers casually found a table and sat down. Li Xiaoteng called out to Lao Da in a loud voice: "Lao Da Ge, bring us twenty strings of spicy hot pot, some blood tofu, fish tofu, and meatballs! Bring some good stuff!"

  Only saw towards the old big scratching his head, at a loss looked at the spicy hot pot again, and looked at the seasoning, but did not take action. Zhao Baozi hurriedly shouted: "I'll do it, I'll do it! Got up and was about to go and deal with the spicy hot pot." Li Xiaoteng looked at Zhao Baozi and said unpleasantly: "What are you doing? You didn't ask them to make it!"

  Zhao Baozi said with embarrassment: "Teng Ge, this is not a good business. I haven't had time to teach them yet!" After finishing speaking, Zhao Baozi hurried over and personally started making the mala hot pot. While doing it, he also instructed the Xiang brothers on how to make the mala hot pot and how much seasoning to add. Basically, Li Xiaoteng taught Zhao Baozi, and then Zhao Baozi taught the Xiang brothers again from scratch.

  He sniffed the aroma of the spicy hot pot and swallowed his saliva, carefully asking: "Manager Zhao, how did you make this spicy hot pot broth? I've been in this business for so many years, but I've never smelled such a fragrant spicy hot pot broth!"

  Zhao Pàngzi shook his head helplessly. He said to Li Xiaoteng, "I didn't notice how this soup was made either! Although I bought the spices myself, it was all done by Li Xiaoteng! I don't remember!"

  Xiang brothers disappointed nod. Did not ask, just focus on watching Zhao Baozi on the side to fix the spicy and numb hot pot.

  Li Xiaoteng wanted to bring a few bottles of Pepsi. Someone asked with some depression: "Biao Ge, why are you going to the US all of a sudden? Can you tell me?" Actually, Li Xiaoteng most wanted to ask was, "You little brat, weren't you a steady and down-to-earth master in Beijing in your previous life? Later, you went to work at a bank. How come you suddenly want to go to the US now?"

  Something that has already been destined. It actually happened around him and changed, and it was the change of people around him. Li Xiaoteng felt a little caught off guard!

  Yang Biao picked up a can of Pepsi. Looking at the can, he muttered to himself: "Pepsi, representing friendship..." He paused and continued: "My dad is the general manager of Xiamen Lafa Electronics Co., Ltd.'s Beijing branch. The other day, my dad and a large private equity firm he was in contact with jointly pushed up the stock price of Lafa Electronics to a high level. Recently, it seems that Lafa Electronics is still rising. The headquarters thinks highly of my dad and directly promoted him to be the new general manager of Lafa Electronics' Pennsylvania branch in the United States!"

  Yang Biao has been talking about why he wants to go to the United States, while Li Xiaoteng's inner world is like a stormy sea with ups and downs. Because in his previous life, Yang Biao did not go to the United States. But this life, Yang Biao suddenly wants to cross the Atlantic Ocean. In his previous life, there was no such thing, it wasn't even mentioned!

  Li Xiaoteng suddenly thought to himself: Am I also a butterfly on the Pacific Ocean? Has the butterfly effect influenced history? No way, I just saved a spicy hot pot stall that was destined to go bankrupt. Now it's doing pretty well! Is this also...

  Yang Biao said, looking at Li Xiaoteng's eyes staring blankly at the bottle of Coca-Cola, not knowing what he was thinking. He then waved his hand at Li Xiaoteng, but saw that Li Xiaoteng had no reaction. Hurriedly, he shouted loudly: "Teng Ge, what's wrong with you?"

  Li Xiaoteng was too focused on thinking about the problem, and he didn't even hear Yang Biao calling him! It wasn't until Zhao Baozi slammed a plate of spicy hot pot onto the table that he snapped back to reality. He looked around in confusion and asked, "Biao Ge, what did you just say?" Yang Biao sighed and said, "I don't want to leave you guys either, but..."

  Zhao Pu's face fell as he glanced at Yang Biao. He puckered his lips and said, "Alright, go to America if you want! Earn the Americans' money, get mixed up in it, don't forget that we're brothers! When the time comes, don't forget, China still has us two good brothers!"

  Yang Biao took a sip of Coke, nodded and said: "When I've made it, I'll definitely come back!" Zhao Paozi sneered and looked at Li Xiaoteng saying: "I feel like what he's saying is just like the advertisement for Jinba men's clothing? That guy in the Jinba men's clothing ad, all these years and he still hasn't come back!

  Li Xiaoteng looked up at Zhao Kunzi with a confused expression and asked, "What did you say?" Yang Biao patted Li Xiaoteng's shoulder and said softly, "Teng Ge, now that the internet is so developed, when we miss each other in the future, we can have video chats online. Don't be like this! I can barely accept it."

  Li Xiaoteng didn't say a word, calmly picked up a piece of blood tofu and started eating. Yang Biao looked at Li Xiaoteng and said: "Today we brothers sit together and watch a century-old war! Next time we get together to watch the ball, it's really hard to say when that will be!"

  Li Xiaoteng was suddenly reminded by Yang Biao, and he shouted in his heart: "Oh my god, Brother Biao, I can go to the United States! What will be the result of tonight's century-old battle between Real Madrid and Barcelona? I've bet all my family's life on Real Madrid! With such a biased odds, if Real Madrid scores just one goal against Barcelona, I'll jump off the building!"

  Li Xiaoteng tilted his head and glanced at the curtain held up by Kong Zhen and Jiang Di, originally thinking it was as easy as looking at the lines on his palm or reaching into his pocket to grab something. But now, holding a ball in his hand, he felt full of uncertainty.

  Zhao Baozi was excited and shouted. It really came to this point. The matter had become a foregone conclusion, and Zhao Baozi naturally couldn't stop Yang Biao's family from making their choice. He didn't have the qualifications to stop them either. Zhao Baozi also came around and started pulling Yang Biao into an endless conversation.

  Li Xiaoteng had a sentence, not a sentence to accompany the two brothers chatting. Only to see Kong Zhen walked over and said to Li Xiaoteng: "Teng brother, everything is done. Jiang Di is receiving TV..." Before he finished speaking, the big screen showed the sports channel program. With two small speakers, it really had some meaning.

  Li Xiaoteng nodded and said to Kong Zhen, "Come on, I'll introduce you to a brother!" He then pointed at Yang Biao and said, "This is my childhood friend, we've been together since elementary school!" Turning to Yang Biao, he said, "And this is my friend, now our big manager, Kong Zhen." The two of them asked each other, "Yang Biao is leaving for the US soon! We meet today, who knows when we'll see each other again. Ah~!"

  The three brothers were once again in a daze. Suddenly, Kong Zhen sniffed and said, "Huh? What smells so good?" He subconsciously glanced at the barbecue stall across the street. But what he saw was Cui Xiaoyan's equally surprised eyes.

  Cui Xiaoyan looked at Li Xiaoteng's barbecue stall in surprise, seeing the Xiang brothers, one learning to toss malatang and the other trying to roast freshly marinated lamb skewers.

  The smell of mutton skewers wafted a strong barbecue aroma, the fragrance of cumin spreading out with the meaty scent. There seemed to be some faintly fragrant leaves or smoked spices too. It attracted countless passersby to stop in their tracks.

  A five or six year old naughty boy had just bought a string of cotton candy. Suddenly, the boy pulled his mother's hand and shouted in a childish tone: "Mom, mom! I don't want the cotton candy anymore! I want to eat lamb skewers! I want to eat lamb skewers!"

  Her mother said without thinking, "No sale! That thing is dirty and will give you diarrhea after eating." As soon as the words fell, the woman's gaze was also attracted to the lamb skewers. At the same time, she made a sound of swallowing saliva...

  Guys, let's give a big thumbs up! The century war is about to start! Warm up for me before the battle!
