141 Barbecue Stall; Finding Trouble!
After Lin Fan arrived at the location, he looked around and finally saw a somewhat remote place. There was a barbecue shop.
Chi Zengyi was standing at the entrance of the barbecue restaurant, carefully setting up a few small tables.
Barbecue shop?
Rather, it was a barbecue stall.
Lin Fan parked the Bugatti Veyron in a public parking lot not far away. He took the flower basket and walked over.
“Lil Yi, congratulations on the opening of your new shop!” Lin Fan handed over the flower basket.
“Look at you!” Chi Zengyi scolded, “Why did you bring something here?!”
Then, he wiped the table and said, “Sit, sit! I’ll clean up a little more and let you have a taste of my cooking!”
Lin Fan did not stand on ceremony and smiled. “Are you going to roast it yourself? Not bad! I’ve never eaten your cooking before. It seems like I’m in luck today!”
After being praised by Lin Fan, Chi Zengyi scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.
At this moment, a round-faced woman with an apron around her waist slowly walked over with a plate of meat skewers.
“This is my girlfriend, Tang Li,” Chi Zengyi introduced.
“Li Li, this is Lin Fan from our village! He even brought a flower basket!” Chi Zengyi added.
Hearing this, Tang Li was also very happy. She showed her white teeth and said, “Thank you for coming over to support us! Sit down for a while. I’ll clean up later.”
“Do you need my help?” Lin Fan asked.
“No need, it’s just a few things,” Tang Li said.
Lin Fan looked at Tang Li’s hardworking figure and said, “Zengyi, when did you find such a good girlfriend? When are you getting married?”
“She’s a good person!” Chi Zengyi said. “We plan to get married next year.”
“Alright, call me when the time comes!” Lin Fan said.
After chatting for a while, the preparations for the barbecue stall were almost complete.
As the smoke rose, the rich fragrance of meat slowly drifted over.
Then, Chi Zengyi served chicken feet, pork skewers, and crispy bones to Lin Fan’s table.
“How do they taste?” asked Chi Zengyi.
Lin Fan gave him a thumbs-up and said, “Delicious!”
At this moment, Lin Fan’s phone rang.
It turned out to be a call from the leader of Jiangbei City, Jiao Yang.
“Brother Lin, I’ve arrived at the place you mentioned, but I don’t see any new shop,” Jiao Yang asked.
When Lin Fan heard that, he turned around and looked toward the road.
Soon, he saw several Audi cars.
Hence, Lin Fan stood up and waved his hand, “I’m at the barbecue shop over here. You can park your car in the public parking lot in front.”
Jiao Yang, who was sitting in the Audi, also saw Lin Fan.
He was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that the shop that Lin Fan mentioned would be a barbecue stall.
However, Jiao Yang quickly regained his composure.
No matter what shop it was, as long as he could get closer to Lin Fan, it was fine.
Jiao Yang parked the car in the public parking lot.
Then, he brought the captain of the investigation team, the captain of the business team, and the others to the barbecue stall with flower baskets.
Immediately, the barbecue stall that was originally filled with the fragrance of meat and oil smoke was filled with the fragrance of flowers.
“Thank you, thank you for your support…” Tang Li thanked them profusely and put two tables together.
Although Chi Zengyi had attended Lin Fan’s grandfather’s birthday banquet and had seen a large group of people, including Jiao Yang, he was in the middle of grilling right now.
Besides, there were too many people at that time, so Chi Zengyi could not remember clearly.
Therefore, he did not recognize Jiao Yang.
Lin Fan smiled. “Brother Jiao, sit down and eat. My good friend made barbecue. It tastes good!”
“Haha!” Jiao Yang said, “Then I’m in luck!”
Jiao Yang and the other leaders of Jiangbei sat around a small table by the roadside.
It had to be said that they were indeed a group of capable people.
Jiao Yang and the others had not eaten at a roadside stall for a long time.
However, they did not show any disdain at all.
On the contrary, they were very free and natural.
From time to time, they would comment and praise some of the skewers.
Jiao Yang said. “The taste is indeed not bad, especially the chicken feet. They’re soft and sticky, and the spiciness is moderate. It’s delicious!”
“I like the pork skewers. The meat is fatty but not greasy!” the captain of the business team said.
“The crispy bones are good too!” Another captain laughed heartily.
…
If people knew that the leaders of Jiangbei City had such a high opinion of a barbecue stall, who knew what kind of expression they would have?
Lin Fan smiled. “If it’s delicious, then eat more! In the future, take care of the business here.”
“Alright!”
“Definitely!”
Everyone responded.
Jiao Yang said, “Thank you so much for Lin Fan’s contribution. Let’s raise our glasses to Lin Fan!”
Jiao Yang, the captain of the investigation team, the captain of the commercial team, and the others all raised their glasses.
Then, they drank it all in one go.
“You guys are too polite.” Lin Fan drank a cup of wine.
Drinking and eating barbecue at the same time, the atmosphere was very harmonious.
The sky gradually darkened.
Some other customers came to the barbecue stall.
In the beginning, Tang Li and Chi Zengyi would go over and chat with them.
As time passed, they gradually got busy, and a few drops of sweat seeped out of their foreheads.
However, they did not complain about being tired. Instead, their faces were filled with satisfied smiles.
At this moment, four tattooed men sitting behind Jiao Yang had finished the barbecue on the table.
They looked at each other, their faces revealing a hint of ferocity.
The bald man among them slapped his hand and shouted, “F*ck!”
The guests around, as well as Tang Li and Chi Zengyi, who were clearing the table, were all shocked.
Tang Li almost dropped the bowl and chopsticks, and Chi Zengyi almost got scalded.
Tang Li quickly walked over and looked at the four people’s fierce expressions. She was a little afraid and said, “M-May I ask what’s the matter?”
“I was eating barbecue here, but I lost my wallet. There’s a total of 10,000 yuan in it! What do you think?” the bald man shouted.
He lost his wallet?
Moreover, there was 10,000 yuan inside?
This was obviously impossible.
10,000 yuan was a huge stack of money.
An ordinary wallet would not be able to fit it at all.
Moreover, this was the era of digital currency. Who would carry so much cash on them?
Obviously, this baldy was talking nonsense.
“Uh…” Tang Li said in a panic. “Look carefully again. It should be nearby.”
“Look? How? You f*cking cleaned up the beer bottles beside me just a moment ago and my wallet went missing!
“I think you stole it! Hurry up and hand over your wallet!” the bald man shouted.
Then, the four of them fanned out and took a big step toward Tang Li.
That appearance… It was as if they would fight Tang Li if she did not hand over the wallet.
Tang Li was so frightened that she took a few steps back and almost fell to the ground.
