Chapter 128 — Barbecue Tips
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Let's skip the beer, we still have class this afternoon." Though Wei Zhao now had Wang Zhifeng as a powerful backer, having decided to properly enjoy his student days, he did not want to be too much of a special case. Wei Zhao could drink beer like water, but Kang Xiaobo could not.
"Heh... then forget it..." Kang Xiaobo scratched his head. Without Wei Zhao to bolster his courage, he did not dare drink on his own.
Tang's mother was somewhat surprised. Wasn't Wei Zhao supposed to be one of the four notorious young ruffians of the school? The way he had so ruthlessly taught Jia Ruoming a lesson on Friday had been no act. So why was he so cautious about a single bottle of beer? Jia Ruoming and his sort would not care in the least about such things; they drank whenever they pleased.
But on reflection, Tang's mother realized that Wei Zhao did not have the bad habits of those young ruffians. On the contrary, he was quite respectful to her. It seemed that even among wealthy families there were well-bred children, and not all of them were as overbearing as Jia Ruoming.
Having met Wei Zhao several times, Tang's mother had a good impression of him.
Soon the barbecue was brought over. They were the only table, so there was naturally no waiting.
While Kang Xiaobo ate with gusto, Wei Zhao picked up a chicken neck, took a couple of bites, and said to Tang's mother, who was idle with nothing to do: "Auntie, actually you could make the chicken necks Orleans-style. That could be your specialty, and business would be better than it is now..."
"That makes sense, only I don't know how..." Tang's mother smiled wryly. "It's just a little stall. What specialty could it have?"
"That's not necessarily so. Plenty of shops started out small." Wei Zhao said. "Actually, it doesn't need any secret formula. You can buy ready-made marinade online. Mm, if you don't know how to use the internet, you can have Tang Yun buy it for you..."
When Wei Zhao had lived in the mountains with the old man, that glutton, he had often bought things for him from online shops.
"Oh? Really? Would it be very expensive?" Tang's mother did not know about such things, but now that Wei Zhao had mentioned it, she was rather tempted. After all, who wouldn't want better business?
"Not very expensive, but it will certainly add to your costs." Wei Zhao said. "Still, if you don't mind the trouble, you can mix it yourself. I've looked into that recipe; I'll write it out when I get back tonight and bring it to you tomorrow. It's just ordinary seasonings, sugar and chili and that sort of thing, and you can buy them at the wholesale market."
"That would be wonderful. Then Auntie thanks you in advance. Better to mix it myself. It's a small business, doesn't earn much anyway." Tang's mother was rather excited; she had not expected Wei Zhao to have studied the recipe.
"It's nothing, a small matter." Wei Zhao shook his head.
"Then tomorrow I'll have Yun'er come find you for it. Once Auntie mixes it up, I'll treat you to a taste!" Tang's mother's impression of Wei Zhao could not have been better; the more she looked, the more she felt the boy was a good one.
Though his family was well off, he was never arrogant or domineering, and always polite to others... Only, she had never seen Wei Zhao when he was arrogant. When Wei Zhao was arrogant, he could poke a hole clean through the sky.
Have Tang Yun come find him for it? Wei Zhao smiled wryly and rubbed his nose. Would she come find him?
