Finally, tempted by the little skirt, the little fairy reluctantly agreed not to hide from Yu Xian'er.
However, she didn't get close to her, but just rested her head on Shen Lang's shoulder.
After the three people and the elf discussed what they would eat that night, Shen Lang drove Shuang'er to the town.
First, I spent 200 yuan at the department store to buy a barbecue grill and some ingredients. Then I bought some seasonings and two cases of beer at the supermarket.
After making inquiries, the two arrived at Wangshan Village, near a town, and bought seven catties of fresh lamb and two lively wild rabbits from a farmer's house.
Shuang'er, carrying a piece of lamb in one hand and a rabbit by the ears in the other, sighed, "Poor little rabbits, so beautiful, yet they're going to be eaten by that heartless young master. I'll pray for your souls in my dreams tonight."
Shen Lang rolled his eyes at her and said, "Fine, you don't have to eat the roasted rabbit tonight."
"Okay, okay, I'll eat everything Shuang'er doesn't want." The little elf stared at the little rabbit, drool practically dripping from the corner of her mouth.
"No, no!" Shuang'er hurriedly shook her head, her high ponytail swinging in the air: "The bunny is so cute, the meat must taste delicious."
"If Master doesn't give you any, you're not allowed to eat." The little elf stood on Shen Lang's shoulder, hands on her hips, and said domineeringly.
"Pah, you little brat, you're not allowed to eat that." Shuang'er said disdainfully, "Don't forget, I'm the one grilling the meat tonight. Be careful, or I'll salt you to death."
Upon hearing this, the little elf was speechless.
There's nothing we can do; he's a chef, after all.
He could only snort in frustration, then pressed his face against the windshield, staring at the pitch-black scenery outside.
Shen Lang suddenly found it quite amusing that these two clowns were going at each other.
After returning home, Shen Lang handed over the tasks of cutting meat and cooking to the two women, and then went out to the house across the street.
"Knock knock knock!"
"Knock knock knock!"
After a knock on the iron gate, a young man's voice came from inside: "Who is it?"
“I am Shen Lang,” Shen Lang replied.
Upon hearing Shen Lang's name, the young man did not immediately open the door. Instead, he hid by the door and whispered, "Give me the password."
Shen Lang rolled his eyes speechlessly: "If you don't open the door, I'll tear your front door down."
"No, use the code!"
"I'll roast some lamb tonight. If you don't want it, that's fine too." Shen Lang said, turning to leave.
"Damn it." The young man inside cursed under his breath. Then the iron gate opened, and a young man with glasses and slightly curly hair called out, "Third Brother, wait for me."
"You think I can't handle you?" Shen Lang thought to himself with a smirk.
The young man wearing glasses was named Shen Tao, Shen Lang's childhood friend and best buddy. After the family tragedy, the two didn't see each other again until junior high school.
Shen Lang and Shen Tao had a very good relationship for six years, from junior high to high school. Whenever Shen Lang ran out of living expenses, Shen Tao would always take out twenty or thirty yuan from his pocket to solve their immediate problem.
After graduating from high school, the two went their separate ways. Shen Tao's grades were poor, so he gave up on going to university. He was tricked by a recruiter from a neighboring village into going to a vocational school to learn welding. However, he was clearly not cut out for it, wasting three whole years and money, and even developing an internet addiction.
After getting to know a bunch of netizens, I heard that you can make money through live streaming, so now I stay at home every day playing games and doing live streams, hoping to make a living from this easy way of life.
Upon hearing this, Shen Lang downloaded the live streaming platform app that the platform belonged to. Seeing the app's appallingly low gift rankings, he anonymously gifted the platform a thousand yuan worth of gifts before uninstalling the app.
However, the two still had a good relationship. Sometimes when Shen Tao went to X City, he would take the initiative to contact Shen Lang. The two would habitually find a barbecue stall, order some barbecue and rice dishes, drink beer, and chat about their recent developments and status.
Shen Tao was the only person in Nanhui Village who knew the true situation of Shen Lang. But even though his monthly income was only two or three thousand yuan, and sometimes even less than two thousand, he never asked Shen Lang for money or sought refuge with him.
Shen Lang had no objection to his brother's actions; after all, everyone has their own ambitions. Shen Tao's personality and preferred lifestyle were just like that, and he had no intention of changing him.
"Brother Lang, you brought your Porsche back again?" Shen Tao said with a smile.
Shen Lang took out the keys from his pocket and tossed them to him, saying, "I'll let you drive around for a couple of rounds, but you're not allowed to drive after you've had your drinks."
"Haha, okay!" Shen Tao laughed, took the car keys, and ran towards the white Cayenne in front of Shen Lang's house.
He drove up to Shen Lang, rolled down the window and said smugly, "Little rascal, get in, I'll take you for a ride."
Shen Lang smiled, opened the passenger door, and got in.
"Haha, driving a Porsche is just different." Shen Tao said excitedly, gripping the steering wheel and sipping a cigarette.
He then floored the gas pedal, and the car sped off down the dark road.
On the way, Shen Tao asked, "Brother Lang, why are you spending the night at home this time?"
Shen Lang said, "I've been quite free lately, nothing much to do."
How's your livestream going lately?
Shen Tao shook his head and said without any attempt to hide his feelings, "It's just like that, two or three thousand a month, enough to eat and drink."
Shen Lang touched his nose and asked, "Do you want to be a top streamer?"
"Damn, I want to!" Shen Tao said. "Of course I want to. Those big streamers can earn tens of thousands of yuan just by playing a PK game at night. If I could earn tens of thousands of yuan in one night, I could have barbecue and beer every night, and I could even eat Haidilao hot pot when I have nothing else to do."
"I'll get a Porsche too."
Shen Lang suddenly remembered that Xia Bingyan's Canglang Group had a subsidiary that was involved in live streaming operations.
I couldn't help him before because I was not capable enough myself.
Now that they have this ability, the brothers will naturally lend a helping hand whenever possible.
"I think you have great potential to become a top streamer. If you make a lot of money in the future, remember to treat me to a meal," Shen Lang said with a smile.
"It's no big deal. You can't take money with you when you die, so just spend it as much as you want." Shen Tao said casually, a cigarette dangling from his mouth.
His personality is such that he spends more when he has money and less when he doesn't; he just doesn't save money.
After the car stopped in front of Shen Lang's house, Shen Tao got out and asked, "Brother Lang, did you change your car? This is very different from your previous one."
Shen Lang nodded: "The configurations are different."
"Wow, is it a high-end model? Your boss treats you so well?" Shen Tao asked in surprise.
Shen Lang nodded, without explaining that he had bought the car himself.
Their current relationship is just right.
Sometimes, wealth doesn't necessarily bring closer friends; it can also lead to estrangement.
