Chapter 168 Alliance Leader, Please Come Back with Us
The next day.
When the chubby girl arrived at the store to work, she saw the two of them yawning constantly.
Gao Mengli, whose eyes were dark and swollen, looked at the chubby girl as if she had seen a savior. "Chubby girl, go buy some white radishes."
The chubby girl was puzzled, but seeing Gao Mengli's tired yet earnest appearance, she didn't ask any more questions, nodded, and prepared to leave.
Jiang Shuzhi asked curiously, "What's wrong with you all?"
Lin Xi replied with a resentful look on her face, yawning as she spoke, "I slept too late last night... Mother, we'll go back to the village tomorrow. When you go back to the village today, go to our new house and prepare a room for us first."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuzhi nodded slightly, "Alright, don't overwork yourselves. By the way, what are you going to do with these white radishes?"
Just as Lin Xi was about to answer, she saw groups of two or three people from the western part of the city carrying bowls running to the entrance of the eatery.
"Boss, I'd like to buy some pork offal soup!"
Upon hearing the voice, Lin Xi immediately shrugged at Jiang Shuzhi, "Mother, that's the reason!"
Jiang Shuzhi looked at the crowds of people from the western city coming in groups and suddenly realized what was going on.
It turns out these two made something new to eat last night!
At this moment, Zhuangzhuang also happily brought over the pork, offal, and trotters.
Jiang Ya quickly helped move the things to the backyard.
In an instant, everyone in the restaurant got busy.
Mince the meat, wash the pig intestines, slice the radish, and cut the pig lungs.
An hour later, the air above the small eatery was filled with the familiar aroma of food that the people of the West City had been craving all night.
Everyone rushed forward, quickly grabbing their bowls and lining up in the queue.
Seeing this, other residents, mindful of the previous example of the residents of Xicheng concealing the "pork chop" incident, took heed.
After buying familiar food, they would always ask the owner a question.
Sure enough, Lin's Snack Stall has introduced a new dish: pork offal soup!
Lin Xi not only ordered pig intestines and lungs, but also all other offal!
Because there are just too many people who want to buy it.
Today, we're truly cooking every part of a pig, except for the head, without wasting a single bit.
Besides white radish, the pork offal soup also contains pork skin, pig tail, pig intestines, and pig heart. All the offal is stewed together in one pot, and the aroma is irresistible!
Even Pang Dahai and Zhen Xiaoxi, who were recuperating at home, came out because of the smell and unknowingly joined the queue!
Pang Dahai looked excited, standing on tiptoe and gazing intently at the restaurant entrance. "Xiaoxi, does this restaurant have any new dishes today?!"
Zhen Xiaoxi was also full of curiosity, her eyes sparkling as she looked around frequently. "Smelling this aroma, there must be something new. These two are really something else; every time they come up with a new dish, it makes you want to swallow your tongue. I just wonder what they're selling?!"
Pang Dahai agreed wholeheartedly, clicking his tongue, "Whatever it is, the taste will definitely be amazing!"
They were lavish in their praise, which was the highest form of blind worship for Lin Xi's culinary skills.
The group moved slowly forward, and Pang Dahai and Zhen Xiaoxi's curiosity was aroused to the extreme by the increasingly close fragrance.
Pang Dahai kept talking to the people around him.
As the number of people in front of him decreased while the number of people behind him increased, a strange sense of excitement and satisfaction welled up in Pang Dahai's heart!
Just then, a blond-haired, bearded man, rubbing his nose, came searching for them.
They saw that Pang Dahai and the others in the group were discussing food and talking to each other.
His eyes held three parts unruliness, five parts arrogance, and two parts curiosity. He patted Pang Dahai on the shoulder and asked, "Brother, what are they selling up ahead..."
Pang Dahai was speaking animatedly when suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder. He turned around and looked back, but it would have been better if he hadn't looked at all.
His heart skipped a beat. He quickly turned around, covered half his face with his hand, and replied in a high-pitched voice, "We don't know either."
Standing behind Pang Dahai, Zhen Xiaoxi was also attracted by the blond hair next to her. After glancing at the middle-aged man, she quickly buried her head behind Pang Dahai.
Seeing Pang Dahai's evasive behavior, the bearded man became suspicious. He was not someone who could be easily dismissed.
He frowned, looking the man in front of him up and down, a sense of familiarity welling up inside him.
He ripped away Pang Dahai's hand, which was covering his face, and then he saw his face clearly.
His face lit up with joy, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Alliance Leader?!"
Excited heart, shaking hands!
They've found their martial arts alliance leader!
Upon hearing the familiar address of "Alliance Leader," Pang Dahai inwardly cried out that he was doomed.
He hurriedly put his index finger to his lips, "Shh—brother, you've mistaken me for someone else. I'm just an ordinary customer, not some kind of alliance leader. Get out of the way, I still need to buy food!"
If one "cockroach" appears, there are bound to be many more "cockroaches" around it.
There must be other burly bandits around here, hiding in some dark corner watching us!
That's absolutely ridiculous; he still wants to argue his way out of it.
The bearded man stared in disbelief, his eyes wide, utterly disbelieving Pang Dahai's claims that he was trying to fool a three-year-old.
He excitedly grabbed Pang Dahai's arm, "Alliance Leader, don't try to fool me!"
Since you retired from the martial arts world, Kunyun has taken over the reins of the martial arts community.
Unexpectedly, Kunyun has escaped. The martial arts world is in complete chaos, everyone is searching everywhere for your whereabouts to return and take charge!
While secretly observing the reactions of those around him, Pang Dahai struggled to break free from the bearded man's "iron clamps".
She waved her hand at the man impatiently, as if shooing away a fly, "You've mistaken me for someone else. Get out of the way and don't delay my shopping."
The bearded man refused, saying, "Alliance Leader, I won't leave unless you come back with me today!"
It's also their fault. Kunyun's promises to them were too tempting, forcing their martial arts alliance leader, Pang Dahai, to step down.
They pooled their money and had a golden basin made for their leader so he could "wash his hands" (i.e., wash his hands).
Little did they know that their alliance leader, so disappointed in them, took the golden basin with him...
That was the entire fortune of a hundred outlaws...
Seeing that they were too poor and there was no money to be made from them, Kunyun abandoned them and went to the capital to join the army...
The brothers, now penniless, finally remembered the kindness of Pang Dahai.
We finally found it, we absolutely cannot let their leader get away with it.
Seeing that no amount of persuasion could calm Pang Dahai down, the bearded man followed his gaze and looked towards the restaurant.
His face lit up with joy. "Alliance Leader, do you want to buy some food? I'll go buy it for you!"
After saying that, he turned and ran ahead.
"Hey! Come back here and get in line!"
Pang Dahai was furious and wanted to chase after them, but seeing that there were still more than ten people about to catch up with him, he stopped himself.
After all, the queue stretched all the way to the west gate of the city.
If you leave, you'll have to queue up again when you come back, which isn't worth it.
The bearded man acted as if he hadn't heard anything, and with a swift movement, he disappeared into the restaurant.
Once inside the restaurant, he looked around and pointed at Gao Mengli, his face full of arrogance, "You, prepare two portions of everything in your restaurant for me."
After saying that, he slammed the half-string of copper coins onto the table next to him.
This was all he had left; whether he could persuade their leader to come back depended on this one move.
Gao Mengli, who was called out, didn't even lift her eyelids.
She didn't sleep well last night, and now she's seething with anger.
This "scapegoat" came at just the right time. She turned around and coldly ordered, "Fatty, throw her out."
Upon hearing this, the chubby girl immediately put down what she was doing and ran over.
He glanced up and down at the arrogant blond-haired, bearded man, and without saying a word, kicked him away.
Diners at the entrance saw something fly out of the restaurant in an arc. They quickly made way and ran away.
With a muffled thud, the man fell heavily to the ground, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.
The chubby girl stood in the doorway, hands on her hips, and sneered at the man angrily, "Hmph, you cut in line, huh!"
After saying that, he clapped his hands and ran back to doing his work.
He grinned as he passed by Jiang Ya.
Jiang Ya was terrified when he first witnessed the fat girl's fighting prowess.
He looked at his own body, then at the man lying at the door groaning in pain, and thought of 120 ways he could die in the future.
He made up his mind that he would definitely be an obedient "henpecked husband" from now on!
Thinking about it, he gave the chubby girl a thumbs up, "Chubby girl, you're this one!"
The chubby girl beamed with joy at Jiang Ya's praise. Aside from her "family" and Gao Mengli, he was the first man to compliment her!
She was in a great mood and ran back to the backyard to continue working!
At this moment, the bearded man, both embarrassed and furious, pointed at the restaurant and shouted, "How could you hurt people like this! Do you know who we are?"
Captain Pang Hai didn't even bother queuing up anymore and rushed over to cover his foul mouth. "Shut up, you immortal. Do you think you're some kind of government official with so much power and influence?"
If you keep causing trouble, I might not be able to save you later.
Moreover, this was someone Fatty herself threw out; how could he possibly refuse Fatty's request?
Compared to the chubby girl, Du Hao was an outsider.
Du Hao's mouth was covered by Pang Dahai, and he could only make "woo woo woo" sounds, his eyes still glaring defiantly.
I felt incredibly wronged.
Not only was it unfair, but it was also bitter, even more bitter than bitter melon.
Gao Mengli glanced disdainfully at the man on the ground and discovered that the person squatting next to her trying to break up the fight was actually Pang Dahai.
She quickly called out from the doorway, "Uncle Pang, we were just about to talk to you about something!"
"Oh!" Upon hearing this, Pang Dahai's face lit up with joy.
He immediately pushed Du Hao away, who was being supported, causing Du Hao to stumble.
He quickly ran over with Zhen Xiaoxi, pointed at Du Hao, and immediately distanced himself from Gao Mengli, saying, "We don't know him!"
Upon hearing this, Du Hao's heart shattered. Wasn't everything he had done for their alliance leader?
Gao Mengli nodded. Even if they knew each other, it didn't matter; she didn't care at all.
Gao Mengli invited the two to the backyard before getting straight to the point, "Uncle Pang, Aunt Zhen, I would like to ask you to be my son Da Niu's martial arts tutors. I would like to offer you one tael of silver per month as a service fee. Is that alright?"
There's no need to worry about "academic lessons" as Dou Weiyi cooks for his family's big cow.
As for martial arts, in order to give Da Niu more self-protection capabilities in his future official career, she and Lin Xi, as his parents, also need to plan it out for him properly.
We will mobilize the entire county to cultivate Da Niu, who is proficient in both academics and martial arts.
After all, without family connections, it's incredibly difficult to raise a child to enter officialdom.
Moreover, while other children start learning at the age of three, Da Niu started seven years later.
If you lose at the starting line, you can't afford to lose in the middle.
Upon hearing this, Pang Dahai's eyes immediately lit up. "One tael of silver?! Mengli, you're too kind!"
"I, Pang Dahai, may not have many other skills, but my martial arts teaching skills are absolutely top-notch!"
Zhen Xiaoxi chimed in, "Mengli, don't worry about entrusting Da Niu to us. In a few years, we guarantee he'll become a renowned young hero in this area!"
As for her fat constable, she had long forgotten about him.
It wasn't that the two of them didn't teach him when he was young, but Pang You was too lazy and always replaced the sandbags binding his legs with cotton bags.
In the end, the two had no choice but to give up the idea, seeing that he really had no interest in learning martial arts.
Therefore, she and Pang Dahai still have no successor!
How could she not be happy and excited!
Gao Mengli thought she would have to talk a lot, but she didn't expect the two of them to be so agreeable!
Pang Dahai kept glancing at Lin Xi as he scooped out the pot of pork offal soup.
Gao Mengli smiled knowingly and quickly called out to Lin Xi, "Xi Xi, ladle two bowls of pork offal soup for Uncle Pang and Aunt Zhen!"
Lin Xi heard Gao Mengli's voice, looked up and saw her smiling broadly, and immediately understood.
Master Da Niu's matter is settled!
Quickly bring two bowls, scoop out two bowls of pork offal with more sauce than broth, and place them on the table in the backyard.
"Uncle Pang, Aunt Zhen, please try this! It's a new dish!"
The two immediately rubbed their hands together and excitedly sat down on the small stools.
Holding the bowl, he immediately picked up a piece of pig lung and put it in his mouth.
The moment the pig lung entered his mouth, Pang Dahai's eyes widened instantly. The texture was tender yet chewy, with the aroma of the braising sauce and the flavor of the offal itself intertwining on his tongue. The rich fragrance exploded in his mouth like a delicious bomb.
"Wow, this pig lung is amazing! It's so tender and bouncy, every single strand is soaked in the savory broth, and when you bite into it, some juice even oozes out. It's so delicious I almost swallowed my tongue!"
While making mumbled praises, Pang Dahai quickly picked up a piece of pig's stomach.
Zhen Xiaoxi was also immersed in the pork offal soup. She gently chewed on the pork stomach, and the crisp texture and rich flavor of the pork stomach made her feel intoxicated.
"This pig stomach is absolutely wonderful. It's been cleaned so thoroughly that there's not a trace of odor, just pure fragrance and crispness. The pig intestines are delicious too. Everything is so delicious!"
Seeing the two people's generous praise, Lin Xi proudly raised her head.
Of course! With him personally overseeing the process, how could the taste be anything but amazing?!
At this moment, Du Hao walked in, clutching his chest. Just as he was about to speak, Pang Dahai glared at him.
His eyes were full of warning.
Du Hao swallowed back the words he was about to say after being glared at by Pang Dahai, and could only stand pitifully to the side.
Gao Mengli glanced at the people in front of her and tentatively asked, "Do you know each other?"
"know!"
"do not know."
The three of them said in unison.
Gao Mengli was a bit confused by the three people's completely different answers, but she didn't press them for an answer.
These three people probably know each other.
However, as long as they don't cause trouble, she doesn't bother with them.
He turned around and went back to work.
Du Hao stared at the towering bowls of pork offal soup in the two bowls, his mouth watering at the irresistible aroma.
Thinking of his brothers who were still impoverished outside the city, waiting for him to buy black powder to bring back and start a fight, he immediately straightened up and knelt directly in front of Pang Dahai and Zhen Xiaoxi.
"Leader, Madam, please save us..."
