Just as Lu Wu finished preparing the skewers, another uninvited guest arrived.
It's Grandpa Li.
I live next door to you.
Old Li took the old route and climbed over the wall to get in. He pointed to the courtyard next to the city lord's mansion, which happened to be separated from Lu Wu's residence by only one wall.
Faced with Lu Wu's puzzled expression, Grandpa Li raised his chin proudly. It was normal for him, Old Man Li, to own some property after traveling all over the country for so many years.
Cang and Guang remained silent on the side.
Would he say that he was forced to sell his prime property to this robber at the lowest possible price?
Grandpa Li is not short of money; he just enjoys watching Cang Heguang grit his teeth in hatred but feel helpless.
Unaware of the scheming between the two, Lu Wu was pleasantly surprised by Grandpa Li's arrival.
Being in an unfamiliar place, Grandpa Li's presence made Lu Wu feel very safe.
"Come on, eat up, don't be shy."
Grandpa Li, who sat down without being asked, invited Cang and Guang to eat skewers, acting as if he were the master of the house.
The skewers are squeezed together in the bright red chili oil.
Grandpa Li thoughtfully separated the various skewers, then placed the types he didn't like in front of Cang Heguang.
"plum……"
Just as Cang Heguang was about to try and defend himself, he was glared at fiercely by Grandpa Li.
"You're lucky to have anything to eat, don't be picky."
Who's really being picky?
Cang Heguang wanted to roar, but he was too weak to do anything but eat. He could only eat the skewers with tears in his eyes, eating faster and faster as he ate.
The two men's hands moved swiftly across the table, and with each move, several strings of food disappeared.
A faint fluctuation of spiritual energy prompted Lu Wu to move the chair away slightly.
Fortunately, she was smart and separated her share in advance.
Lu Wu, who was feeding the two beasts, simply treated the open and covert struggles between these two big shots as a side dish.
I must say, that move is really cool, I want to learn it.
A sudden gust of wind swept everything away, leaving only the remnants on the table.
Grandpa Li rubbed his full stomach, picked his teeth, and got up with a satisfied smile.
"I'll leave the tidying up to you."
After giving instructions to Cang and Guang, Grandpa Li swung his legs and left.
As for Lu Wu, after giving Cang Heguang a helpless smile, she also slipped away.
Toolman #4, activate!
After spending the afternoon watching the drama unfold, Lu Wu finally led his stall and two beasts to Zizai Street after nightfall.
The cold wind still swept through the streets.
Zizai Street was deserted, appearing inexplicably desolate.
Lu Wu arrived at the stall location, and was about to say a few words when he heard some noise.
"Mr. Lu, it really is Mr. Lu!"
"Waaaaah, I finally found Boss Lu! Do you know how I've been these past few days?"
"Boss Lu, you're so heartless! You're so unpredictable every time you set up your stall. Don't you love me anymore?"
All that could be seen was a crowd of diners emerging from all directions.
There were some people Lu Wu didn't understand how they managed to squeeze out from those nooks and crannies.
Each of them had eyes that seemed to have their own searchlights, instantly locking onto Lu Wu.
Surrounded, Lu Wu said he was frightened.
She opened her mouth, looking at the accusing eyes of the diners, and wanted to ask how she had been exposed.
"Ahem, everyone's here."
"I'm just believing you can find me; it's a bond between us."
Without thinking of a good excuse, they started to create a rift, and once they unleashed their ultimate move, the diners became even more resentful.
Boss Lu, you're heartless!
"Alright, everyone, line up. Don't make things difficult for Boss Lu."
Some regular diners took the initiative to call on others to line up, and while directing traffic, they also took up the front row.
Suddenly, Zizai Street was packed with people.
The sheer number of people surprised even some locals passing by.
This street has seen a lot of trouble.
Aside from reckless gamblers, who would pass by here? Why is this place so crowded with people now?
Some curious onlookers also joined the group.
Listening to the chatter of the others, I learned that there was a food stall owner named Lu who had set up a stall here, and they were all customers who had come looking for him.
"You guys aren't shills, are you?"
The passerby raised a question.
She craned her neck, straining to see the long line ahead, her eyes filled with distrust.
These words sound familiar.
There was once a man named Wu Dalang who sold sesame cakes and had the same question. In the end, he fell headlong into a trap set by a man named Boss Lu and could not climb out.
"If I were a shill, may I be struck by lightning."
The diner scoffed and immediately swore a solemn oath.
He chased after the enemy all the way from Xiaohe Town to Wandu Valley just for a bite to eat.
After seeing Lu Wu's news on Yijietong yesterday, he immediately used the teleportation array to come to Hong'an City and wait for her.
The moment Boss Lu appeared, his life was filled with hope again.
Seeing the guest's piety, the woman was skeptical.
With nothing else to do, she slowly made her way through the crowd, and then she heard exclamations from ahead.
It turns out that Lu Wu's skewers are starting to come out of the pot.
Dog Aotian squatted in front of the stall, dutifully watching the diners pay.
Huo Huo flies around maintaining order; if anyone tries to cut in line, a spit of fire will shut them up.
The first regular customer to buy a skewer of beef showed it off to the other customers who were still waiting.
The paper-thin slices of beef, with a hint of scallion aroma from the marinating process, complement the rich meat perfectly.
Take a bite, and the broth slowly flows out.
The savory, spicy, and numbing flavors of the broth burst forth instantly, prompting him to let out a satisfied sigh.
He forgot about showing off and began to inhale rapidly.
