Chapter 90: Why Can't I?

  Li Xiaoteng looked at Gao Luochen, who had buried himself deep in the blankets, only revealing a small face. The moonlight shone down, and it was indescribably cute. It really made one want to hold him and cherish him for a while.

  Li Xiaoteng closed his eyes and thought of Gao Luochen's words: If you can really help my dad, I'll give myself to you...

  Li Xiaoteng thought to himself, and couldn't help but feel a surge of hot blood in his heart. Looking at Gao Luochen's small face was like looking at a piece of high-quality Tianyang sheep fat jadeite. On the market, it would be worth 4 or 5 thousand yuan per kilogram. Gao Luochen, such a large piece of Tianyang beauty, looked like she weighed at least 90 kilograms. Li Xiaoteng suddenly muttered to himself: "Worth a whole city!"

  The only response was his faint and distant snoring...

  Li Xiaoteng closed his eyes tightly, hoping to calm down as soon as possible. He wanted to go to sleep quickly, as there were many things to do tomorrow during the day, and on top of that, the Century War was going to take place tomorrow night.

  Sometimes it's like that, the more you want to sleep quickly, the more you can't sleep. Li Xiaoteng was imagining sheep jumping around, but his heart unconsciously thought of Aerospace Electronics. He thought about the crazy rise of Aerospace Electronics in the later period. Then he thought of the Century War again. Time flew by quickly in Li Xiaoteng's chaotic thoughts.

  Takashi suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the Omega watch on his wrist. The time was exactly 6:30.

  He tilted his head to look at Li Xiaoteng, who was fast asleep. He saw that Li Xiaoteng had wrapped the quilt into a rod shape. One leg was riding on top of it, and the other small leg was tightly attached to the quilt. Both hands were tightly hugging the quilt, and saliva had already wet a large piece of the quilt.

  High fell morning got up. Tidied up her hair a bit. Fished out her own stockings from under the pillow, gently putting them on her snowy little feet. Only then did she start cleaning up.

  After a thorough wash and dress, Gao Lie looked at Li Xiaoteng who was sleeping soundly and said loudly: "Boss Li, I'm leaving. Thanks for your help! I'll treat you to dinner next time."

  Li Xiaoteng dazedly heard Gao Luochen speaking and said in a half-asleep manner: "Get that kid to come out, invite him to my store and I'll think of a way to help you deal with him!"

  After finishing speaking, he seemed to have fallen asleep again. Gao Lie looked at Li Xiaoteng lying on the bed and said calmly: "Don't bother! I think you really can't handle this matter. I'll deal with it myself!"

  After finishing speaking, he picked up his bag and turned around to leave. "Bang" The soft sound of closing the door seemed to suggest that Gao Luochen also wanted to lock Li Xiaoteng out of his heart.

  Li Xiaoteng closed his eyes and hummed twice, completely unaware that Gao Luochen had already left.

  In the early morning, people in Beijing have already started a new busy day. People say that Chengdu is a suitable place for retirement, with a slow pace of life and a carefree lifestyle. However, the rhythm of life and work in northern cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou is very fast!

  Seven o'clock. Kong Zhen's biological clock was accurate, and he opened his eyes on time. Kong Zhen casually picked up his phone and took a look at the time. He hurriedly got dressed and washed up. After everything was tidy, he walked to Zhao Huaizong's bedside and pushed him gently, saying: "Huaizong, I'll go to Dongxing Restaurant first to meet with the chef who will make skewers for us! I made an appointment at 8 o'clock. You can just come over later!"

  Zhao Pàngzi hummed and hawed in response. It's unclear whether he heard Kong Zhen's words or not. Kong Zhen shook his head, grabbed his coat and walked out.

  In front of the Dongxing Restaurant. After a night of revelry, the morning was quiet and peaceful. Kong Zhen casually grabbed a stool at the door and quietly waited for the restaurant staff to arrive and open up at 8 o'clock.

  He casually took out the oil strip he had just bought, and after biting it for less than two mouthfuls, he saw the two kebab masters he had found yesterday walking towards him.

  Xiang Lao saw Kong Zhen and hurriedly greeted him, saying: "Boss Kong, you're really early! My brother and I were just saying we'd meet up early. Wait for us!" As he spoke, the Xiang brothers clearly quickened their pace.

  Kong Zhen stood up and greeted: "Brother Xiang, you're here quite early!" Xiang Lao Er said to him: "Boss Kong, you don't know. My brother woke me up at six o'clock this morning." Kong Zhen smiled and said: "If the two of you haven't had breakfast, I'll order some breakfast for you!"

  He hastily waved his hand at Lao Da, giving a simple and honest feeling, saying: "Really no need, we just ate!" Kong Zhen smiled and pulled out cigarettes from his pocket, offering one to each of them, then said: "You two smoke first. Wait for the goods to arrive, you two check the goods. Our big boss is coming. Let's start work!"

  He said somewhat unhappily to Lao Er: "We brothers have also been doing this for many years, why doesn't the big boss still trust us?"

  Kong Zhen was eating a fried dough stick and said, "I don't know either, the big boss said to cure the meat first. Then let you guys handle it. I've never done this before, so I'm not quite sure. Let's wait for now!"

  After all, Lao Da is an old customer who has been running the rivers and lakes. Although he was not very happy in his heart, but considering that the salary was indeed not low, he didn't show any unpleasant expression on his face, and glanced at his younger brother. Then he sat down beside Kong Zhen and quietly lit a cigarette.

  The not-so-skilled Kung Fu, Dongxing Restaurant opened its doors. Kong Zhen pulled the Xiang brothers into the operating room and familiarized themselves with the environment. Only then did he point to the cold dish room across from them and say: "Only allow cold dishes to be made in here, don't put raw meat or anything inside."

  To Lao Er, who was not pleased, he said: "Don't worry, Boss Kong! After doing this for so many years, we still understand these things!" Kong Zhen smiled and instructed: "I'm just nagging a few sentences. We're also working for others, when the big boss comes later, don't call me Boss Kong anymore."

  Xiang brothers nodded in understanding. Xiang Lao Er muttered to himself: You just want us to call you boss when no one is around, right? People...

  Before nine o'clock, the small bread delivery van brought over ten pieces of mutton, along with about ten catties of pork ribs and meat tendons, chicken hearts, duck gizzards, chicken cartilage, and so on.

  Kong Zhen was checking the goods while asking the Xiang brothers, who were squatting on the ground collecting the goods: "You two take a look, how are the goods? If they're not good, we'll hurry up and return them while people are still here. Let them exchange for better ones!"

  The delivery master smiled and said: "Don't worry, boss. They are all good materials. Absolutely no problem."

  The Xiang brothers also nodded and said: "No problem, they're all good stuff!" Only then did Kong Zhen happily collect the goods.

  The delivery guy left, and the Xiang brothers quickly pulled Kong Zhen to an empty cold dish room, speaking in a low voice: "Boss Kong, if we sell lamb skewers using only lamb meat, there will be no profit at all!" Kong Zhen looked at Xiang Lao Da with a puzzled expression, asking: "If not lamb meat, what should lamb skewers use?"

  "Hey, old two, you don't know this? In good places, they use chicken meat with a bit of mutton fat. This is good, and also pork with mutton oil!"

  Kong Zhen shook his head and said, "This is too ridiculous! Can they really do this?" He smiled wryly at Lao Da and said, "This is still okay. What's even more disgusting is when they mix dead rat meat with mutton, and in the end, the boss doesn't even know if it's mutton or rat meat. What's even more disgusting is when they use the urine of a dead cat or dog to marinate the mutton..."

  Kong Zhen felt that the fried dough sticks he had just eaten were rolling around in his stomach. He had an urge to vomit at any moment. He hastily waved his hand at the Xiang brothers and said, "Don't disgust me! I really can't listen to this anymore! We can't do business like this even if we don't sell!"

  The Xiang brothers hastened to say that such extreme cases are indeed rare. But more often it's chicken and pork instead.

  After chatting for a while, the two brothers started working. One was cutting mutton and the other was handling the tendon. Kong Zhen watched as they worked with their knives flying up and down, processing the mutton and other ingredients with ease. He couldn't help but nod his head in approval, thinking to himself that he had found two skilled masters.

  Kong Zhen glanced at his phone and found that it was almost ten o'clock. But Li Xiaoteng had not arrived yet. After thinking for a moment, he dialed a call to Li Xiaoteng.

  In a fast hotel. Li Xiaoteng was still hugging the quilt and dreaming of Zhou Gong. Suddenly, he heard his mobile phone ringing wildly, the bell rang non-stop.

  Unconsciously, I reached out to the bedside and didn't feel anything. Only then did I become more sober. Opening my eyes, I looked clearly at the hotel's layout. Suddenly, I sat up straight, tilting my head to look at Qiao Lian Chen's bed. The quilt had already been neatly spread by Qiao Lian Chen and placed on the bed. Looking at the few strands of black hair left on the dresser.

  Li Xiaoteng hastily took out his mobile phone, thinking to himself. Gao Luochen seemed not to have her own cell phone number! Was she asking me to go downstairs for breakfast? He looked at the caller ID on his phone. It was actually Kong Zhen.

  Luo Xiao answered the phone, but before he could say anything, Kou Zhen asked somewhat awkwardly on the other end of the line: "Teng Ge, are you up? Sorry to disturb you. Didn't you say you'd come to the store today to handle the mutton? I've had the chefs cut the meat and they're just waiting for you to marinate it!"

  Li Xiaoteng patted his head and said with a embarrassed expression: "Sorry, I had something to do last night and slept too late! I'll go right now!"

  Hung up the phone, rushed to the bathroom to wash up. Looking at Gao Lu's used toiletries. Slowly recalling what Gao Lu had said to her that morning: "You really can't handle it, I'd better think of a way myself..."

  Li Xiaoteng's heart suddenly felt a little painful. Li Xiaoteng thought stubbornly: "Why can't I do it?" Then he put on his clothes, took a glance at the room, casually pulled out the room card and checked out of the Speed 8 Hotel.

  Li Xiong Teng had just left the hotel and hadn't walked far when he saw a tricycle on the road. He hurriedly called out loudly, "Tricycle!" The tricycle driver quickly pulled over and asked, "Young man, where are you going?" Li Xiao Teng originally wanted to say he was going to the night market, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "First go to Qingcheng Small District East Gate. Then how much will it cost to go to the night market?"

  The tricycle master smiled and said, "Eight yuan, these two places are a bit far away." Li Xiaoteng nodded, got on the car and shouted, "Let's go!"

  The tricycle master smiled and said: "You hold on tight! Let's go."

  When Li Xiaoteng arrived at the north gate of Qingcheng, he found that both Audi cars were gone. Only a few shards of glass on both sides of the road proved that in the dead of night, an Audi car had indeed been involved in a bloody accident...
