Chapter 54: BBQ, Business is Booming
Tian Sen stood up suddenly, clenched his fists with a determined look, and assured Zhang Wanwan: "I can beat him in the first place this time, and I will definitely not let you down!"
Zhang Wanwan: "?" Why did she feel weird? It seemed that Tian Sen made the bet for her. Thinking of this, Zhang Wanwan quickly shook her head. What a mess.
It was almost dark when the three of them left the city library. Tian Sen excitedly said to the two of them, "Let's go to your stall to eat barbecue. It's my treat!"
Zhang Wanwan was a little surprised, "How do you know that my family sells barbecue?"
"What's so difficult about this? Pu City is so small. Who wouldn't know what's going on over at Century Plaza? I heard that your barbecue is delicious. Some of my buddies have already gone there to show their support. If I hadn't worked so hard these days, I would have gone there a long time ago and wouldn't have waited until they showed off to me!" Tian Sen looked indignant, as if he was dissatisfied because he was not the first one to taste the barbecue.
Zhang Wanwan just thought it was funny. "Okay, I'll take you there. My grilled oysters are really delicious."
"Oh Yeah~"
Tian Sen took two steps at a time and jumped twice to distance himself from Zhang Wanwan and the others.
Zhang Wanwan took two steps and looked back at Leng Ziyue hesitantly, "If you don't want to eat barbecue, we can go eat something else."
She hasn't forgotten how this guy reacted the last time he went to her house for milk tea.
"No need." Leng Ziyue said coldly, seeming a little unhappy. Zhang Wanwan was full of doubts, always feeling that Leng Ziyue's temper was like the changeable weather in June.
When the three of them arrived at Century Plaza, it was the busiest time of the day. Zhang's father hired a temporary worker to help, and with Zhang's mother there were four people in total, and they were still overwhelmed. The queue leaders had already sat at the very back.
It just so happened that Leng Ziyue liked quietness, so Zhang Wanwan led them directly to the back.
There was a plastic-wrapped menu on each table. She handed it to the two of them and said, "Pick out what you want to eat. I'll go over and ask my dad to grill you a plate of oysters and eggplants. I'd also like to recommend our grilled chicken wings and grilled lamb skewers, which are also good. You can try them. Apart from these two, I don't know what you guys like to eat. You can choose for yourselves. I'll make the milk tea."
After Zhang Wanwan left, Tian Sen looked at her from behind and sighed, "Not only is our top student cute and harmless, but she's also a good wife and mother. Oh! If only I could catch up with the top student!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Sen clearly felt a murderous aura, and his body shuddered violently. He did not dare to look at Leng Ziyue, and smiled awkwardly: "Just kidding! I am the most despicable person who talks nonsense!"
When Zhang Wanwan came over with hot milk tea, she saw that the two of them were silent and a little depressed, so she sat down and said with a smile: "I have already told you everything, my dad said he will serve it to us soon! Although we have a barbecue stall at home, we are still open for fried chicken and milk tea. Do you want to have some fried chicken?"
Tian Senming shook his head, "I came here to eat barbecue today, of course I want to eat all-you-can-eat barbecue!"
After saying that, he took a big sip of milk tea as if to vent his anger, looked at the things on their table, and then looked at the box of beer on the table in front of him. Tian Sen wanted to cry but had no tears!
"I want to drink too!"
"Why drink alcohol! You're a student!" Zhang Wanwan rejected it without even thinking!
Leng Ziyue was too lazy to even roll his eyes, making Tian Sen so angry that he could only drink his milk tea in silence.
Soon a plate of fragrant grilled oysters was served, and Tian Sen, who was still sulking, was immediately diverted. He ate two and smiled like a fool.
Leng Ziyue ate elegantly throughout, but his movements were not slow. He and Tian Sen ate back and forth, and before the next plate of barbecue came up, they had already finished this one in seconds.
Seeing that Zhang Wanwan didn't even take a bite, Tian Sen felt a little embarrassed, "Well, how about asking uncle to bring another portion? I'll try to eat slower this time."
Zhang Wanwan was almost choked to death by his words. She coughed twice and waved her hands repeatedly, "Forget it, just eat normally. I'm full after drinking a cup of milk tea. You guys can do whatever you want."
After saying that, Zhang Wanwan stood up to see how the dishes were being served.
Tian Sen and Leng Ziyue asked, "You are so considerate, why don't you leave some for the top student this time?"
Leng Ziyue looked at him as if he were an idiot, "Can't you see that she has no interest?"
"Uh" he really didn't see it!
The two of them ate a whole plate of grilled oysters, an eggplant, a plate of mixed enoki mushrooms, a plate of assorted grilled meats, and a plate of grilled vegetables at Zhang Wanwan's stall. Almost all of this was eaten by Tian Sen. Zhang Wanwan didn't move her chopsticks much. Leng Ziyue only ate a few oysters, two pieces of grilled meat, and some vegetables, which was not much at all.
Seeing Tian Sen's full appearance, Zhang Wanwan was speechless. She gritted her teeth and asked, "What else do you want to order?"
Tian Sen touched his stomach, looking satisfied, "No need, I'll eat the rest next time. Ask your dad how much it is in total?"
"No need, I'll treat you tonight." Zhang Wanwan had no intention of letting Tian Sen pay for it. It would be fine if they went to eat somewhere else, but who was she to let Tian Sen pay for it in her own territory!
Tian Sen did not argue with Zhang Wanwan. When he and Leng Ziyue left, he directly put two hundred yuan in front of Zhang's father. Zhang's father was barbecuing nearby and did not notice it. When he turned around and found the two hundred yuan, he was still confused. It was only when the temporary worker reminded him that he suddenly realized it. He wanted to chase after Tian Sen and return the money to him, but he could no longer see his figure. He kept muttering, "This is too much!"
Zhang's father and mother have a booming business, so they come home later and later every day. Especially for things like barbecue, which are done at night, they usually don't close until the early morning.
Seeing how hard they worked, Zhang Wanwan became more diligent in adding spiritual spring water to the meals at home, for she was afraid that Zhang's father and mother would get sick from working too hard.
The busy days passed by very quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the mid-term exam in early November.
The midterm exam is different from other monthly exams. It is the first real check on their learning outcomes since they entered high school. Those who did well in the previous entrance exam may not be able to perform as well this time, and those who did not do well before may be able to catch up. Everyone is ambitious and no one is willing to fall behind.
In such a tense atmosphere, Zhang Wanwan and Leng Ziyue seemed out of tune with others. One of them studied hard in normal times and was not afraid when the exam came, while the other was fearless and continued to do his own thing. When others were reading, he was sleeping, and when others were writing exercises, he was waiting to copy Zhang Wanwan's. Even Cai Long and the others couldn't stand it. Unfortunately, Cai Long had become a weakling after being defeated by Leng Ziyue before, and didn't even have the confidence to stand up for Zhang Wanwan. He could only grit his teeth and watch it all, secretly vowing to avenge his previous defeat in this midterm exam.
