Volume 4: Beginning of Spring Chapter 48: Getting Angry
The first batch of kebabs are ready.
Jiang You stuffed two skewers of beef into Tang Butian's hands as he stood on the steps in front of the store. He chewed and said, "It's a little over-roasted, and the meat is a little tough, but it tastes okay. After getting familiar with it a few more times, I can also set up a stall. At night, I can pull this grill to the street in front of the door, and business will definitely be good."
The aroma of cumin rushed into my nostrils.
Tang Butian hesitated and bit off a piece of meat.
The meat was chewy.
She thought she could have two more skewers, a lamb chop, and some vegetables in between, and maybe…
She saw Jiang You walking back to the grill, and he said to Guan Nuo, "Guan Nuo, take a few skewers for your mother."
"good."
Guan Nuo took some skewers and walked to the pond. Guan Qingtong and Su Wangshu stood there, still arguing.
Tang Butian watched Su Wangshu refuse the skewers handed over by Guan Nuo.
Su Wangshu talked to Guan Nuo for a few words, and Guan Nuo turned and looked at her with hesitation in his expression.
Turning back, Sun Yu took over from Jiang You and started the second round of grilling. His movements looked much more professional than Jiang You's.
Jiang Mo sat on the swing, staring at the skewers in his hand. Jiang You squatted on the side, holding the skewers in one hand and stroking Zhao Cai's fur with the other, with an opened can of Coke beside him.
"Recruiting talents. I heard you are losing weight."
"I felt that you've gained some weight since last time." He let go of her hand, picked up the can of Coke and took a sip.
Zhao Cai stared at the skewers in Jiang You's hand.
"You can't eat this. How about I cook you a pot of meat in the evening?"
"Meow."
Tang Butian heard footsteps.
Su Wangshu walked towards her with an apologetic expression, and Guan Nuo and Guan Qingtong followed behind her.
"Section Chief Tang."
Su Wangshu stopped in front .
"Qingtong and I just discussed it. If Xiaonuo acts as bait, they might not take the bait. Then our forces will be dispersed. We are already short-handed..."
Tang Butian looked forward, and Wu Yulan and Zhu Wen also walked towards her. Jiang You picked up Zhao Cai and walked to the barbecue grill. Zhao Cai turned his head away to avoid the smoke.
"Have you ever grilled before?" Jiang You asked Sun Yu.
“I have a grill at home, too.”
Wu Yulan and Zhu Wen stood on her left.
Bite off the last piece of meat on the skewer.
She felt a little ridiculous.
"You have made your decision," she said.
Guan Nuo took a step forward and said, "No, Chief, it's just that Uncle Zhuang will come to Tangjiang the day after tomorrow. We can discuss and work out countermeasures together then. We don't know what's going on with Uncle Zhuang yet..."
Tang Butian looked at him.
The sky gradually darkened.
The wind blew her hair and skirt.
"It's windy and you're not wearing enough. Let's go inside the store..." Guan Nuo's voice gradually became lower.
"I won't feel cold."
"My mother, Uncle Su and the others want to..."
The wooden sword trembled slightly on the long table, and then flew into Tang Butian's hands.
Su Wangshu and the other two subconsciously took a step back.
A dark light floated on the blade.
They feel the pressure.
Jiang Mo rested his elbows on his knees, supported his cheek with his hands, and looked towards Tang Butian's position.
"Since you have made the decision, I will not take any action." The voice was cold and firm.
"Section Chief..." Sun Yu nudged Jiang You's arm with his elbow and asked in a low voice, "Should we go over there?"
Jiang You turned his head and took a look. "When the lamb chops are ready, I'll send two pieces to the section chief, and we'll grill some vegetables."
As he spoke, he put a few bunches of bell peppers on the grill.
"I won't care about the Special Operations Department anymore," Tang Butian clenched his wooden sword tightly. "Who wins or loses has nothing to do with me. In two years, I will go back to the mountain and never come down again."
"You people in the mountains are always like this, thinking you are superior to others..."
Su Wangshu pulled Wu Yulan's sleeve and Wu Yulan shut her mouth.
"I don't think I'm superior to others. I'm just superior to you." Tang Butian said to Wu Yulan.
"You left Teko because Jinghu was stronger than you and you lost. Losing is okay, just work hard to win back."
"But what does it have to do with me?"
Tang Butian raised the wooden sword, "Because of this wooden sword, you need me to use this wooden sword to kill the things you can't kill. I'm not strong enough, not the strongest on the mountain, so I can only go down the mountain, I admit it. I learned a lot down the mountain, so I am willing to take the responsibility of the head of the special department. I will take care of the people of Jinghu Society who break the law and commit crimes in Tangjiang City. I don't care about the grudges between you and Jinghu Society."
Sun Yu glanced at Tang Butian secretly, "The section chief is so tough."
"She has always been tough, and I have always been smooth with her hair..." As he said that, Jiang You took a plate from under the grill, used a pair of tongs to put a lamb chop, a skewer of pork belly, and a bunch of green peppers on it.
"Will that mean..."
"She's very smart. Look at me. How many times have I been used as bait by her?" Jiang You glanced at Sun Yu. "We have to scare them. Otherwise, they will take advantage of their age and we will become their assistants ."
After saying that, Jiang You walked around Guan Qingtong and the others and came to Tang Butian. He put the plate in front of Tang Butian and said, "Try it. This time it's just right. All the gravy is locked inside."
Tang Butian reached out and took the plate.
Jiang You said to Guan Qingtong and his group, "Don't just stand there. Sit down and eat while you chat. If there's anything, just start chatting. Section Chief, try this green pepper. After roasting it, it's sweet and refreshing, and it's especially good for removing greasy flavors."
"I'll put the wooden sword in for you." Jiang You took the wooden sword from Tang Butian's hand and leaned it against the door.
Tang Butian took a bite of the lamb chop and then a piece of green pepper.
"What kind of drink would you like? Coke, Sprite, beer, lemon tea..."
"Lemon Coke, ice cold."
"Wait a minute, I'll go cut the lemon."
After Tang Butian glanced at Guan Qingtong and the others, she took a step forward. Guan Qingtong and the others consciously stood on both sides to make way for Tang Butian.
She walked to the flower bed and sat down on a chair.
Then she reached out and picked a branch of Jiarong flower.
Guan Nuo hesitated for a moment, then he walked to Tang Butian and said, "I know I was wrong. I said I wanted to be the bait, and you supported me, but I ended up regretting it..."
Guan Qingtong glanced in Tang Butian's direction and said, "We did something wrong."
"I'll go and apologize to her." Su Wangshu turned and was about to leave.
"Wait," Wu Yulan stopped him, "If we admit our mistake this time, we will have to obey her orders in the future."
"Isn't this as it should be?" Guan Qingtong sighed. "He's right. The Special Operations Group is now split into two. The enemy hasn't even entered yet, but we've already been killing each other."
