Transmigrated to a parallel world, he became Fatty, the apprentice of傻柱 (Shazhu). With elderly parents above him and three sisters worrying about marriage below him, Fatty hones his culinary skills...
Once Banggeng had money in his pocket, he immediately went to find Li Ping.
As soon as I arrived at Li Ping's house, I heard them arguing inside.
A woman's voice was cursing loudly, her tone sharp and sarcastic: "Look at you! You're a grown man, and you do nothing all day long. You sleep at home during the day and go to dance halls at night, all made up, to seduce men! How did our family produce such a shameless thing like you?!"
Then came Li Ping's voice, calmly: "Are you done talking? My brother certainly cares about his reputation, but you should tell him not to spend my money."
Li Ping's voice suddenly rose: "You spend my money and still have the nerve to call me shameless? Who do you think you are! Listen to me, I'm the one supporting you, not the other way around."
Immediately afterward, Bang Geng heard Li Ping exclaim in surprise, asking in an incredulous tone, "You dare hit me?"
Upon hearing that Li Ping had been beaten, Bang Geng rushed in without a second thought.
Upon entering the house, he saw a large, fat woman arguing with him. Bang Geng didn't care about that and went up to kick the fat woman in the butt, sending her tumbling over!
The fat woman was stunned by the fall and sat on the ground for a long time before she could recover.
Li Ping was also surprised: "It's you?"
Before Bang Geng could speak, the fat woman started yelling, "You shameless bastard, you've brought all sorts of men home! I'll teach you a lesson for being shameless, I'll teach you to seduce men..."
As she spoke, she struggled to her feet, seemingly to retrieve something.
Bang Geng is a seasoned fighter, so he knows what she's up to just by looking at her movements.
So, Banggeng went up and gave her a huge sinus!
The sound was as loud as an amplified thunderclap!
The fat woman was completely stunned. This man hit her?! He really hit her!
She had never been treated like this before. Li Ping dared to talk back, but never dared to fight back.
Unexpectedly, we've run into a tough opponent today.
The fat woman was so angry she was trembling all over, and she pulled out all the tricks she knew.
When women fight, it's nothing more than scratching with their nails, pulling their hair, biting with their teeth...
These are child's play compared to the stick-shaped pheasant.
Li Ping saw Banggeng grab the fat woman's arm, fling her off, and then kick her in the back of the knee, throwing the 160-pound woman away.
The fat woman fell heavily to the ground; given her weight, the fall was quite severe.
They looked completely dazed from the fall and couldn't get up from the ground for a long time.
Without saying a word, Banggeng grabbed Li Ping's hand and said, "Come with me!"
Li Ping glanced at him, then at the house, went inside to grab a coat, and left with him.
Li Ping remained silent throughout the journey, letting Bang Geng hold her hand.
He walked quite a distance before saying, "That person was my sister-in-law."
That big, fat woman was actually her sister-in-law. No wonder Li Ping said something like, "I'm the one supporting you, not the other way around."
Suddenly, Banggeng was filled with boundless pride: "I'll take care of you from now on!"
Li Ping was stunned for a moment, then said as if she didn't take it seriously, "You're crazy."
"..."
The two of them spent the whole day having fun outside.
With money in his pocket, Banggeng squandered it recklessly.
Lunch alone cost me almost 10 yuan!
Sha Zhu was cooking in the kitchen when Yan Jiecheng lifted the curtain and came in, saying to him in great surprise, "That guy eating up ahead looks like a bastard, and he's with a girl. He ordered at least seven or eight dishes. He's really extravagant!"
They've been neighbors in the same courtyard for so many years, who doesn't know Qin Huairu's family well?
It is precisely because I understand that I am puzzled.
Sha Zhu pulled out the dishes from the table with the braised pork belly and saw: sliced beef and tripe in chili sauce, shredded pork with garlic sauce, twice-cooked pork, Dongpo pork knuckle, Kung Pao chicken, Mapo tofu...
They ordered all of their restaurant's signature dishes!
This meal will cost at least 10 yuan. Sha Zhu, not believing it, went to the front and took a look, confirming that it really was that kid Bang Geng.
When he returned, he looked puzzled and asked Yan Jiecheng, "Has Banggeng made a fortune?"
Yan Jiecheng is a shrewd man; he can understand the unspoken meaning behind the words and reveals his signature shrewd businessman smile: "Whether he makes a fortune or not is none of our business. As long as we have the money to settle the bill later, that's all that matters."
Sha Zhu retorted, "Aren't you afraid he won't pay for his meal?"
Yan Jiecheng sneered: "If he dares to come here and eat and drink for free, I'll teach him a lesson he won't forget!"
Yan Jiecheng wasn't just making threats.
Sha Zhu has lived in that courtyard house for so many years. Has anyone dared to renege on the Yan family's debts?
No! Not a single one! Those two, Yan Laoxi and his wife, are truly willing to risk their lives for money!
In front of Li Ping, Bang Geng at least restrained himself a bit and pretended to be somewhat refined.
The two ate and chatted. It was unclear whether Li Ping genuinely wanted to confide in someone or was simply trying to complete You Fengxia's task.
Suddenly, he asked Bang Geng, "Can I have a bottle of wine? I want to drink."
Drinking? Although the woman drinking surprised Bang Geng for a moment, he still readily agreed and shouted, "Waiter, a bottle of regular 2-yuan liquor!"
The term "Pu Er" is short for ordinary Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor).
This year is the most triumphant year for Red Star Erguotou.
Not only did they launch a new 38-degree product, making it the only low-alcohol liquor produced by the Beiping Winery;
They also launched a series of products including Refined Erguotou, Premium Erguotou, Fine Erguotou, Special Erguotou, Celadon Erguotou, and Gold Medal Erguotou.
As for the small, flat bottles of Erguotou that everyone is used to seeing later, those are not from Red Star, but from Niulanshan.
"..."
When the wine was served, Li Ping first poured herself a full glass, then ignored Bang Geng, picked up the glass, tilted her head back, and swallowed the entire glass of wine.
Bang Geng was stunned. Was she really that audacious? He quickly advised her, "Drink slowly, drink slowly. That's not how you drink baijiu."
Li Ping wiped her mouth, covered her nose, and muttered, "What are you babbling about? You were still drinking milk when I was drinking alcohol!"
Banggeng started scratching his face listlessly; he seemed to be older than Li Ping.
Li Ping drank a glass of wine, but seeing that he still wouldn't drink, she provoked him again: "Drink up, are you even a man?"
Normally, no hot-blooded man could resist such temptation, so Bang Geng quickly picked up the glass of wine and downed it in one gulp.
Li Ping then smiled again, poured wine for both of them, and this time clinked glasses with Bang Geng and downed it in one go.
After a couple of drinks, Li Ping became more talkative: "My brother is a vampire."
Bang Geng felt inexplicably guilty upon hearing this; a vampire, that's him.
Li Ping fiercely accused him: "A damned bloodsucker who only knows how to ask me for money all day long and gambles all day long!"
