Barbecue

After all, Yu You wasn't a child anymore, and she naturally understood these things.

Ye Shuang thought that he couldn't treat Bai Yuyou as a child anymore. One could say that she was a normal girl, no different from others, and she would do what she should.

Late at night, Ye Shuang fell asleep holding the girl in his arms.

The night passed without a word.

But he had another nightmare.

A blond woman pointed a gun at him and fired a bullet. As his consciousness faded, he felt as if he was being enclosed in something.

It was all white, as if he was wandering in a snowfield. No matter which direction he walked, there seemed to be no end.

In a daze, Ye Shuang saw a figure in the distance. He walked quickly towards it and noticed that it was a long - haired girl. At this time, the girl also reached out her hand to him and whispered, "There's still half left. Come on..."

Ye Shuang tried hard to look at her face, but he couldn't see clearly. That's how dreams were—when you dreamt of someone you'd never seen before, the face was always so blurry.

...

"Jingle, jingle—"

The merciless ringing shattered Ye Shuang's dream.

"Uh, stop the sound, Xiaoai."

"Okay."

The noisy sound stopped abruptly. Ye Shuang lay in bed, squinting at the sunlight streaming in through the window.

Phew, it was time to get up.

[Healthy brushing is the start of the day. Your energy increases by 1.]

Ye Shuang silently looked at the window that appeared in front of him and continued to wash his face. The temperature was a bit low today, and the cold water splashing on his face almost instantly woke him up.

"A bit tired. Did I have a nightmare last night?" It was already morning, but Ye Shuang couldn't remember what he had dreamt about. He only vaguely remembered it was a nightmare.

Ye Shuang remembered that sleeping with his hand on his chest could easily lead to nightmares. Maybe it was because Yu You liked to cling to him like an octopus when sleeping, so he didn't sleep well.

"Ha—" After yawning, Ye Shuang opened the door.

"Good morning, Dad." Coincidentally, Yezi passed by. She was wearing a brown - black school uniform jacket and greeted Ye Shuang when she saw him.

"Good morning, Yezi." Ye Shuang reached out and touched her head. "Did you sleep well last night?"

"Very well, Dad."

"That's good." Ye Shuang smiled and went downstairs with Yezi.

"Good morning, brother!"

The familiar voice came. Ye Shuang looked over and found that Keke and Duoduo had already come up. It was basically the same time they usually came up, but Ye Shuang just got up a bit late today.

Ye Shuang subconsciously looked for Bai Yuyou's position and finally noticed that she was wearing an apron and preparing breakfast in the kitchen. Tang Keke was operating the bread machine, planning to toast a piece of bread and then sandwich an egg in it later.

"This bread is so big." Tang Keke took out a slice of toast from the fridge. It was almost as big as her schoolbag.

"Brother, it seems it can't fit in." Keke looked at the bread machine. "It's too big to go in."

"Use the air - fryer." Ye Shuang said as he took out the garlic sauce. "Spread some of this sauce on it."

"Okay. Can I use honey?"

"Honey..." That was okay. He looked into the fridge, rummaged around inside, and finally took out a jar wrapped in a plastic bag. "Here."

"Wow, what an old - fashioned package."

Tang Keke looked at the plastic bottle Ye Shuang handed her. It looked like something picked up on the roadside, shriveled and wrapped in a plastic bag.

After carefully unscrewing it, Keke also noticed that it was like lard inside.

She sniffed it, and there was no strange smell.

"Brother, this looks like lard. Are you sure you didn't take the wrong thing?" Tang Keke asked. It was a white lump, which didn't look like what honey should be at all.

"And is it expired?" Tang Keke glanced at the jar.

[Super Authentic Fermented Black Beans]

The jar was originally for fermented black beans.

"Honey will crystallize when refrigerated." Ye Shuang couldn't help smiling. "Moreover, genuine honey will never expire."

"I heard that some scientists found honey that was thousands of years old in Egypt and found it was still edible."

"Thousands of years ago..."

Forget it. Judging from its relatively fresh appearance, it should be okay.

Tang Keke scooped out some honey with a spoon and spread it on the bread slice, planning to toast it for a while.

"Hehe, I'll also add a black - pepper sausage to sandwich with it." Tang Keke rummaged out a sausage.

"Sister, how can you not get fat like this?" Duoduo beside her couldn't bear to watch anymore. Compared with the chubby Tang Keke, as the younger sister, Duoduo had a slender figure. Her wheat - colored skin was full of smooth muscle lines.

"It's okay. The fat all goes to my schoolbag."

"You're not a camel. Where do you have a hump to store energy!"

"A schoolbag is also a kind of 'hump'!"

Just after Tang Keke said that, she realized that Ye Shuang was beside her, so she cleared her throat. "Then I'll do more exercise."

"Keke always slacks off during the running in P.E. class." Bai Yuyou walked out and said at this time.

"Alright."

After breakfast, Ye Shuang didn't forget to send a message to Chen Hai to ask what he was up to.

Although he didn't expect a reply, Chen Hai actually responded to Ye Shuang.

Chen Hai: You transferred one million to me?

Ye Shuang: Spend it frugally. Almost all my cash is given to you. The rest is with your sister.

Chen Hai: I don't need so much. I'll give it back to you.

Chen Hai: I'm planning to open a barbecue restaurant and start with a small - scale business. What do you think?

Ye Shuang: Are you serious?

Chen Hai: Of course I'm serious. I've already found a place. After calculating the passenger flow, I'm going to open the shop.

Chen Hai: Do you think it's feasible?

Ye Shuang: Tell me about it.

Chen Hai: Don't barbecue restaurants usually open at night? I'll open one during the day to seize the local market. There may not be many customers, but there is a market.

Ye Shuang:...

Ye Shuang: It's better to open a rice - roll shop.

Chen Hai: Alright. I'll sell rice rolls by the way.

Ye Shuang: I'm speechless.

Chen Hai: Give me some advice.

Ye Shuang: My advice is that you go back to the company right now. If you think the position is not good enough, I can give you a position in the branch company. You can be in charge.

Chen Hai: No need. I'll do it on my own.

Ye Shuang: "..."

Chen Hai: I'll go inherit the tens of billions of assets if I fail.

Chen Hai: Just joking.

Seeing that Chen Hai really planned to do business, Ye Shuang didn't know what to say for a moment. However, with his daytime - barbecue business model, it probably wouldn't succeed. After all, not many customers would choose barbecue for lunch or breakfast.

Even in a commercial plaza, there might only be a little bit of foot - traffic for daytime barbecue on weekends.

It was just like building a gym in the countryside. People work in the fields during the day and still exercise at night.

It had a strange feeling to it.

"Forget it. Let him have his way," Ye Shuang could only think silently.
