Chapter 270 Unable to Find the Way Back to the Mountain
Bai Yue and Ye Ran were in charge of cooking, while Ye Jun and Lu Yi were in charge of serving the food to the guests. The group was so busy they barely had time to breathe.
Wen Changming and Liu Qiao leisurely drank sweet rice wine with glutinous rice balls and ate frozen milk cakes made by Bai Yue, occasionally exchanging a few jokes.
"That kid Lu Yi has always been spoiled and acted like he's the best, but when he's with his mother-in-law, he does everything too!"
"That's right! A few days ago, I asked him to pick up the new students, and this kid even dared to give me a hard time. But once he got here, he worked harder than anyone else!"
Other professors nearby couldn't help but join the discussion.
"To be honest, the taste is really good, and the price is reasonable. It doesn't cost much to eat your fill. I'll come back more often to support your business."
"Exactly, my husband's cooking is just... I was worried about not being able to find a place to eat! From now on, I'll eat here."
"Old Xu, if your wife finds out you talked about her like that, you can expect to apply for a place in the teachers' dormitory tomorrow!"
"Hey, you think I'm afraid of her? I'll pack one up for her to take home later! If she's reasonable, she can come eat with me tomorrow!"
"Hahaha……"
Although the students around were afraid of the teacher, they couldn't help but prick up their ears to listen to what they were talking about.
Some girls were disappointed when they heard that the shop was run by Lu Yi's mother-in-law, but they were completely relieved when they saw Ye Ran, who seemed to be glowing in the steamy kitchen.
Those who are observant will notice even more: Lu Yi's family background sounds quite good, but they wonder which family's young master he is...
Could the Lu family in Beijing be the one they're thinking of?
Lu Yi was completely unaware of any of this; his mind was now filled with thoughts of three bowls of soy milk at table number one and five steamed buns at table number eleven…
After Lu Yi carried the ten meat buns from table number twelve over, he glanced at them casually and his eyes narrowed.
He grabbed the scarf off the man's face. "Isn't this Master Su? Why didn't you say you were coming?"
Su Ji frantically tugged at her scarf, but gave up when she realized she'd been recognized. "Lu Yi..."
Lu Yi looked down at him and said, "I don't care why you're here right now, just help me out!"
As he spoke, Lu Yi took the steamed buns from in front of him and handed him an apron. "Go serve the food!"
Su Ji watched helplessly as the large steamed bun, emitting a rich meaty aroma, receded further and further away from him, and tears welled up in his eyes.
But under Lu Yi's tyrannical influence, he still put on an apron and went to help.
After they had used up all the ingredients they had prepared the day before, there were still some people who hadn't had any to eat. Feeling apologetic, Ye Ran gave each of them a small card.
"I'm sorry, we didn't have enough things prepared yesterday. We're open every day, morning, noon, and night. Just bring this card when you come, and you can exchange it for a steamed bun or a side dish. Thank you."
Those who didn't wait for her were angry, but seeing Ye Ran's attitude, they didn't say much. Plus, they could still get something for nothing, so they all left happily.
A short while later, the teachers and students who were eating also left, and the group of people slumped wearily in their chairs.
Although Bai Yue and Ye Jun were tired, they were the most excited.
They finally succeeded! Look at this, they made quite a bit today!
Su Ji collapsed there like a salted fish, "Lu Yi, I hate you... How dare you treat me like this..."
Lu Yi didn't even lift his eyelids. "I've already told you, don't say things that are easy to misunderstand."
Su Ji was still thinking about her big meat buns. "You've sold everything, what am I going to eat? My meat buns!"
Bai Yue smiled, "Don't worry, there's food for you. You've all worked hard today, let's have something good to eat!"
Bai Yue got up and went inside to bring out a pot of porridge and a plate of steamed buns. The porridge contained shrimp and finely chopped vegetables, and it was cooked until smooth and looked delicious.
This pot of porridge is different from the previous ones. Everything in this pot was taken from Ye Ran's space, and the aroma is incredibly strong.
Su Ji's eyes lit up, and he jumped up as if he had been injected with chicken blood, "I want a big bowl!"
Lu Yi glanced at him speechlessly, went into the kitchen, grabbed a bowl of noodles, and filled a large bowl for him. "Drink slowly, it's still hot!"
Without even looking up, Su Ji took a huge bite, exclaiming, "Ouch! It's scalding hot!"
Lu Yi glared at him, "I might as well burn you to death!"
Su Ji kept sticking out her tongue because of the heat, but she couldn't help but take another sip.
Seeing his expression, the others couldn't help but laugh.
After finishing their meal, Lu Yi sandwiched Su Ji between them and asked, "Tell me! What are you doing here?"
Su Ji's eyes darted around a few times. "What are you talking about?"
Lu Yi stared at him dangerously, "Stop trying to dodge the question! Didn't you say you were going back to the mountain a while ago?"
Seeing that he couldn't escape this topic, Su Ji explained, "I did go back, but I couldn't find the way after I got to the foot of the mountain."
I couldn't go back, so I came back again..."
Ye Ran couldn't help but feel exasperated. "Are you directionally challenged?"
Su Ji retorted loudly, "No! I just can't find my way home, I'm not directionally challenged!"
Lu Yi tapped him, "You can't even find your way home? If you're not directionally challenged, who is?"
Su Ji covered his head. "What do you think my master lives in? That place, if the master doesn't want you to, you can search until you die and still not get in!"
Lu Yi frowned, "You... you've been expelled from the sect?"
Who told you to eat so much meat every day after you came down from the mountain?
I knew it! What monk would eat so much meat?
Su Ji stood up excitedly, "No way! There must be another reason!"
Lu Yi stood up and pressed him down, "I know, I know, but what's the reason?"
Su Ji slumped her shoulders. "I just don't know. I thought it might still be related to you guys, so I came to find you again."
I asked my way here this morning and saw you leading a large group of people this way.
I was just thinking of grabbing a bite to eat, but you ended up treating me like a waiter.
Lu Yi frowned. "Don't overthink things you don't know. Let's settle in first."
Speaking of which, there is something I actually need your help with!
Su Ji looked up dejectedly, "What is it?"
Lu Yi looked outside expressionlessly. "I want you to help me take a look at someone..."
