Chapter 435 Long Live the Egg Cult!
"Why are you crying?"
Everyone was still very polite and waited until Lin Li finished speaking and started pretending to cry before they burst into laughter.
"However, Lin Li, I think you may have misunderstood." Bai Bufan's smile was not as loud as the girls', but after a few seconds, he frowned and spoke.
"Impossible, he absolutely has good intentions, you are not allowed to slander him."
"I didn't say he didn't mean well. What I meant was that the person you met probably wasn't a Zhengbai Banner Master, because a true competition-level Master wouldn't go to Mixue Ice City with his friends."
Bai Bufan's expression remained unchanged. He continued with his previous words, pointing out a problem that Lin Li had not considered, and then decided to use his own story as evidence:
“I’m actually originally from Shanghai.
I once came to Nansang on a business trip with my parents, and an evil Xiling person tricked me into drinking a transparent, sour and sweet drink with a red seal - later I found out that it was called Mixue Bingcheng.
My parents were stunned at the time. After they knew what happened, they took me to the hospital for gastric lavage, but it was too late. My stomach, which had been drinking Starbucks for many years, was ruined.
After the business trip, our family returned to Shanghai. When we were going through security, I was too guilty and the airport noticed something, so they released a local Shanghai mosquito, which took a bite of me.
When the security officer saw the mosquito spit out blood and rinse its mouth, he immediately realized that my bloodline was no longer pure.
So I called the security guard, and they expelled my entire family from the household registration on the spot. They also said that if it weren't for my parents' past, they would have hung me on the Oriental Pearl Tower for three days as a public display. Alas, in the end, we had no choice but to settle in Nansang. I even fell to the point of having to sit at the same table with a lowly person like you..."
"That's not right..."
Hearing this, Lin Li touched his chin with some uncertainty and began to mutter to himself:
"Isn't Mixue Ice City a high-end beverage? Even lemonade costs four yuan per pound, while the Oriental Pearl Tower cost 830 million yuan to build and weighs only 120,000 tons. It's only 3.46 yuan per pound. Isn't the former more prestigious?"
"Hey! Be careful with your words! How dare you say such outrageous words in public! Are you trying to kill yourself—"
“…”
The girls who were already laughing non-stop, listened to the two people's continuous and uninterrupted singing of "Shanghai Storm", and laughed so hard that they squatted on the ground, their shoulders shaking constantly.
As for Auntie: "(;゜○゜)?"
What are this handsome guy and his human friend babble about? I can't understand anything.
Do you want to eat the cake?
However, because of the presence of their aunt, Lin Li and Bai Bufan decided to stop while they were ahead and paused the conversation.
The taste of this cake is quite normal, just a very homely cake, with a very pure cake base taste. If it was commercialized, the five people would definitely not buy it, but after all, the aunt was so enthusiastic, and it was a charity sale, so the five of them bought a bag together.
Continue walking to other stalls.
"Why is there a green Santa hat?"
Bai Bufan stopped in front of a stall and pointed at several green hats mixed in with the hand-knitted Christmas hats, and exclaimed in surprise.
"The original Christmas hat seemed to be green, symbolizing the vitality of spring, and later it was changed to red," Lin Li explained. "But if you do this in China, it's probably a bit of a bad taste, or maybe it's red-green color blindness."
"Is that so? Then I'll treat you, Lin Li. I'll give you one." Bai Bufan was rarely generous.
"I've known about you and Sister Yu for a long time. I've accepted it. It doesn't count as cheating on me." Lin Li looked calm and waved his hand indifferently.
"Your mother!" Bai Bufan smiled and gave a middle finger.
Bai Bufan raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at the girls who were picking and talking about the products, leaned towards Lin Li, and said in a low voice:
"Lin Li, I just learned about Sister Yu's new achievement."
"What?" Seeing Bai Bufan's attitude, Lin Li moved closer and pretended to listen attentively.
Bai Bufan cleared his throat and spoke with great emotion:
"A wealthy man was about to die. Before he died, he called his three sons into his room and said, 'I will give each of you a gold coin. Whoever can fill this room will be the one to whom I will leave my inheritance.'"
"My eldest son bought a lot of paper and it filled up half the room."
"My second son bought a bag of flour, but after spreading it, it only filled the lower half of the room."
"The cleverest youngest son brought a picture of Sister Yu—and so the four of them filled the house with it."
"In the end, the youngest son got the majority of the inheritance, and the eldest son got the smaller portion."
Lin Li: "oO?"
This is indeed a story that cannot be heard by girls or even humans. No wonder Bai Bufan has to be sneaky.
But then, Lin Li was a little confused: "Why did the eldest son also get a share of the inheritance?"
Bai Bufan: "Because the paper he bought played a vital role in the battle for the inheritance. Even if he didn't make any contributions, he still worked hard. The youngest son took the initiative to propose it."
Lin Li: “(;☉_☉)?”
"Grass!"
Faced with Bai Bufan's winking face, Lin Li really couldn't hold it anymore and punched him with a smile.
"I've heard this story about dividing the inheritance before, but it's a little different from yours." After his smile subsided a little, Lin Li said to Bai Bufan seriously, "Give a favor and receive a plum in return."
"Oh? Then I'm all ears."
"The eldest son bought flour and sprinkled it all over the room, filling it with flour. The second son was smarter than the eldest son and bought a can of gas. When he turned it on, the whole room was filled with gas. The smartest one was the youngest son. He lit a candle and walked in.
In the end, the funeral company got the lion's share of the estate, and the real estate company got the smaller share."
Bai Bufan: “”
"It's very good, but I feel it's a little inferior to mine." Bai Bufan has his own pride.
"But it's closer to human beings and can be spoken. If a girl asks us, we can at least repeat it, right?" Lin Li was reasonable and said what he meant.
"That's true."
"What are you whispering about again?"
The homemade Christmas hats here are not very good. After the girls tried them on briefly, they didn't even think about taking pictures. They noticed the situation at "Yigou" and came to ask about listening to crosstalk.
Lin Li gave Bai Bufan a smug look - "Let's see who is inferior now."
Bai Bufan nudged Lin Li with his elbow, saying everything, and then told the girl Lin Li's version of events.
What the two of them got in return was still three caring looks at the mentally retarded person.
The church courtyard was not very big, and there were only a few stalls. It took the five of us about half an hour to visit all the stalls.
"The best-selling items are actually food, drinks, ornaments and accessories. Although there are many people watching, most of them are just there to join in the fun or to try something out, and very few people buy."
Before walking into the church, Ding Sihan glanced at the courtyard from the steps and came to this conclusion.
"So our garden party strategy is absolutely flawless. It combines people's love of food and drink with their natural desire to try something new. It's perfect. The person who came up with this idea is truly handsome and elegant..."
Lin Li was generous with his praise.
"I think so too. It will definitely sell well then." Chen Yuying was too lazy to refute and nodded with a smile.
Class 4's plan for the New Year's Day Garden Party has basically been finalized this week.
They sell smoothies and oden, one cold and one hot. If you are on your period or don’t want to eat ice, you can eat hot oden.
If we can’t sell all the food in the morning, we can share some with each class member as lunch at noon, which is an easy way to avoid waste.
What's more, Class 4 has a trash can that looks like a human.
The reason why we chose to sell these two kinds of food is mainly because the students in the equipment class have them and can provide them free of charge, which can greatly save costs.
In addition, in order to differentiate itself and attract customers, Class 4 does not intend to simply sell food, but to combine it with street games such as ring tossing.
After participating in the game, if you get excellent results, you can get smoothies or oden for free. If your results are very poor, you only need to buy one food at the marked price.
This will definitely be much more attractive than simply selling food.
As for whether there will be losses... To be honest, since Xue Jian said so, not many people in the class care about this. Breaking even is a huge profit.
The specific games and rules, as well as the types of food sold, can be fine-tuned next week.
The five of them returned to the church through the back door. The sanctuary was still rehearsing singing, and now it was in Chinese, and it was indeed Christmas carols.
The number of believers is also greater than it was not long ago.
After stopping to listen for a while, the five people walked towards the activity room.
"Auntie!" Approaching the activity room, Ding Sihan waved to a lady at the door from afar.
She should be my aunt, because she looks quite young, probably around 30 at most.
Some of her facial features are similar to Ding Sihan's, so it seems that Ding Sihan is indeed not wild.
"Hanhan, you're finally here." Ding Yu, who was sitting at the table at the door and talking to someone, turned around and responded with a smile.
"Hello, aunt." Lin Li and others stepped forward.
"You are Hanhan's classmates, right? Hello." Ding Yu greeted Lin Li and the others gently, then pointed to an older man wearing a priest's robe and introduced him:
"This is Father Qiu from our church."
Before Lin Li and Bai Bufan could make any move, Chen Yuying, Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu all stepped forward at the same time, standing between the priest and the two of them, and politely exchanged greetings with the priest.
Chen Yuying, who was standing in front of Lin Li, secretly elbowed Lin Li from behind.
Lin Li and Bai Bufan: "..."
This, this is the taste of distrust.
The two looked at each other and shrugged somewhat amusedly.
Girls are actually worrying too much.
Just like "virtual dad, virtual mom, virtual ancestral graves are not afraid of being dug up", although the two usually say "your mom" and "your dad", but when they really meet, they still respectfully say "Hello uncle and aunt", playing with memes is just playing with memes.
The two of them often teased the priest, but in reality, if they met a real priest, would they really go up to him and ask him a question like "Father, when you were studying mathematics, were you most interested in permutations and combinations? After all, there is the normal distribution in it"?
Impossible.
That's so rude, it's an insult.
Respect those who deserve respect, but just ignore them. Unless it is confirmed that the person is not worthy of respect, that is another matter.
After a brief exchange, which didn't take too much time, Ding Yu asked Ding Sihan to take Lin Li and others into the activity room to do DIY.
The activity room is spacious and bright, and there are already many people busy at work, including men, women, young and old.
The activity involves making wool felt with Christmas elements. Because wool felting requires needles and is somewhat dangerous, there must be parents watching over children indoors. This is a very comprehensive consideration.
Five people sat in a row, and Lin Li was still hugging people left and right.
"How do I play with this thing?" Bai Bufan had never come across this before, so after getting the ball of hair and the needle, he looked confused.
"Have you ever played with plasticine?" Lin Li looked at Bai Bufan and prompted.
"I've played with this before." Understanding Lin Li's meaning, Bai Bufan nodded in realization and tried to knead the fur ball.
Lin Li nodded: "That's fine. Let me tell you this, it's completely different from that."
Bai Bufan: “?”
no?
"Hey, auntie, why are you telling me this?" Bai Bufan's mouth twitched slightly.
——There were many children and adults in the activity room, so Bai Bufan felt that he needed to be polite and courteous, so he used "Auntie" to replace your mother and his mother.
"I'm just trying to help you eliminate a trick," Lin Li said with a smile, then shrugged. "I've seen this online. It involves fixing wool on a foam board and then poking it. But I haven't tried it specifically, so I don't know how."
"But I'm different from you. I have an all-powerful girlfriend."
Lin Li naturally reached out and gently pulled Chen Yuying, who was sitting on his right, towards him. Their shoulders were intimately touching, and then Lin Li gently touched the girl's forehead with his forehead: "How do we play this?"
Chen Yuying's eyes were filled with smiles. She picked up her tools and instantly transformed into the elementary school students' favorite super gentle handicraft teacher: "Watch carefully."
"Like this, use a needle to lightly fix the shape first..."
Chen Yuying took out a small ball of white wool and roughly laid out the outline of the snowman's chubby body on the foam board. Then she transformed into Madam Rong, za za za za za!
Okay, that's a bit of a crude description.
To be more elegant, perhaps it's the slender, white, food-grade fingers that hold the end of the needle, the wrist steadily and lightly thrusting up and down, the movements so smooth it feels like dancing.
"It's actually like this, very simple, why don't you try it?" When the snowman's belly took shape, Chen Yuying paused and looked at Lin Li.
"I will attack in Gundam form." Lin Li nodded and began to try.
"You have to poke in one direction, evenly, and not too quickly..."
Chen Yuying watched Lin Li carefully while he was trying and gave him some guidance.
Not only that, sometimes we also provide hands-on teaching.
He touched the back of Lin Li's hand with his palm, guiding him to feel the changes in the wool's state so that he could make adjustments.
Unfortunately, Lin Liquan was feeling the cool touch of his fingertips.
Wool? What wool?
However, in order to prevent Chen Yuying from discovering his little trick, Lin Li did not pretend to be stupid all the time. After a few tries, he had a general grasp of it.
Mainly, Qu Wanqiu and Ding Sihan, who were standing beside them, imitated the two people's intimate posture, which made Chen Yuying feel a little embarrassed.
Afterwards, Lin Li went to teach Bai Bufan.
Seeing that Lin Li was actually teaching Bai Bufan step by step, and that he was standing behind Bai Bufan, hugging Bai Bufan and teaching him step by step, such a gay scene made Chen Yuying feel that she seemed to be a little too self-deprecating.
Alas, I shouldn’t be so strict with myself and lenient with others.
Under the watchful eye of his incompetent wife, Bai Bufan finally learned how to do it.
In less than half an hour, everyone's results came out. Lin Li and Bai Bufan's were naturally the worst.
In fact, Lin Li could do very well. His current understanding and hands-on ability were there, and his understanding of wool felt would be further improved.
But many times, why should people be so serious?
Even if you do a very bad job, you can get Chen Yuying's comforting ridicule, Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu's undisguised ridicule, and Bai Bufan's gratified ridicule. Why not do it?
Maybe I really am an M.
"Calling out? Shall we go for dinner?" Lin Li stretched lazily, stood up and asked the others.
We didn't gather until around 3:00 in the afternoon, so it was almost time for dinner.
"Okay." The four of them naturally had no objection.
"Aunt! Let's go and have dinner!" When leaving the activity room, Ding Sihan greeted Ding Yu at the door.
"Okay," Ding Yu nodded, but then remembered something and quickly looked up and asked, "Hanhan, are you and your classmates worried? If not, could you help your aunt sort out some documents?
It won't take long, about ten minutes, and that's a conservative estimate, since there are so many of you. After I'm done, I'll treat each of you to a cup of milk tea."
Ding Sihan looked at the other four people, and after getting a response from their eyes and actions, he nodded to his aunt: "Okay."
If my aunt wants to treat everyone to five cups of milk tea, then each person can drink 1.666667 cups of milk tea, which is a good deal.
Seeing that their request was approved, the five people were taken to the church office by Ding Yu. After Ding Yu explained the requirements, he returned to his post at the door of the activity room.
The task was indeed not difficult and everyone was able to accept it.
"Ding Ding, your aunt seems quite gentle and speaks softly, why are you so violent?" Lin Li, who still had the shoe prints on his pants still not completely wiped off, spoke quickly.
"Are you sure? Although she's not a black belt, my aunt is one level lower to a red belt in Taekwondo." Ding Sihan said with a laugh.
"That's okay, your father must be your biological father." Lin Li gave a thumbs up.
"It's normal to hide your true nature in front of strangers," Ding Sihan chuckled, then added, "Even if it's someone else, you can still be gentle~"
"I'm abstaining from sex. Don't do it." Lin Li continued to separate the papers one by one with swift movements, and answered without raising his head.
Ding Sihan: “?”
"Lin Li! You're so disgusting!!"
Oh no, the old shoe prints haven’t been completely removed yet, and new shoe prints have appeared.
"That's a bit unreasonable. To some extent, this is also a compliment to your voice." Lin Li said aggrievedly.
"I'd rather you attacked me."
"Since you—"
"Shut up."
"Can you please control your best friend? It's not okay to say it, and it's not okay not to say it either. You are being unreasonable." Lin Li complained to Chen Yuying.
Chen Yuying smiled brightly, but her words were cold: "Shut up..."
Lin Li: TAT.
It’s okay, I still have a good brother——
Bai Bufan: "Shut up."
Damn, before I even turned my head, Bai Bufan’s voice came from behind.
Being deserted by everyone, Lin Li could only accept this outcome sadly and bury his head in work.
"Lin Li, please hand me the stapler on your desk." Qu Wanqiu, who was sitting on the far side, glanced at the desk and stretched out her hand towards Lin Li.
Lin Li nodded and handed the item to Qu Wanqiu.
"Thank you—" Qu Wanqiu's thanks were stuck in her throat, because what she took was a heavy wooden cross ornament.
"Why are you handing me the cross?" Qu Wanqiu asked in surprise.
"Hmm-hmm--" Lin Li muttered with his mouth shut.
Bai Bufan, who was standing by, came to Qu Wanqiu's aid. He looked at her and explained seriously, "You want a crucifix, don't you? Isn't the cross a crucifix specifically used for crucifixion?"
Qu Wanqiu, Chen Yuying, and Ding Sihan: "?"
"What are you looking at? Isn't that how normal people would understand it?"
"And Lin Li, why do you keep elbowing me? Haven't I already explained it to you?"
During the explanation, Bai Bufan, who had been elbowed by Lin Li, questioned Lin Li in confusion.
Lin Li sighed and raised his chin towards the door.
Bai Bufan looked up and met Ding Yu's gaze.
Ding Yuben was staring at Bai Bufan, but when Bai Bufan looked over, he silently shifted his gaze to the machine in Qu Wanqiu's hand, with an expression in his eyes that was indescribable.
Bai Bufan: ☉_☉.
Uh oh.
Did I just use the wide-open function too close to his face?
Password, can I still leave the church alive?
He won't gather believers and burn himself as a heretic.
There were at least 50 believers in the temple just now, but there were only five of them.
Bai Bufan thought about it carefully. That is to say, if the two sides fought, on average, he would have to deal with at least 54 people alone, and it seemed like he was no match for them.
Just as Bai Bufan was about to kowtow and slide on his knees, he frowned.
Is Aunt Ding in front of me trying to hold back her laughter?
Ding Yu, whose expression had been constantly adjusting, gradually bit his lower lip with his upper teeth, his eyes widened, his nostrils slightly dilated, and his cheek muscles unnaturally tensed and twisted, as if he was suffering from some kind of severe internal injury.
Her shoulders even began to shake suspiciously.
Just trying to hold back laughter!
And it seems that he has reached his limit.
"I, I have to go out for a while." Ding Yu's voice was filled with a suppressed tone and a barely perceptible tremor. After he finished speaking, he quickly turned around and disappeared out the door.
“…”
“…”
The office is very quiet.
Lin Li broke the silence:
"Dingzi, is there someone laughing in the corridor now?"
Ding Sihan shook his head expressionlessly: "No."
Lin Li: "This laughter seems to belong to your aunt."
Ding Sihan shook his head expressionlessly: "No."
Lin Li: "Dingzi, tell me the truth, is your aunt's Catholicism just for the eggs?"
Ding Sihan's expression gradually became the same as her aunt's, and then she gritted her teeth:
"Lin Li, you really talk too much. Didn't I tell you to shut up?"
"walk slowly."
