The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 371 Fragment_1
As soon as Tang Jianmin opened his mouth, Li Qing’s BBQ stall unexpectedly opened for business.
Han Mei and Wu Xingxing had planned to practice a bit and get used to it, but now they had jumped right in.
However, Li Qing knew that Tang Jianmin was completely doing this for his own good—it was another favor.
With today’s BBQ for about thirty people, Li Qing’s BBQ stall would definitely be the talk of the entire village tomorrow.
As for doing business in the village, he didn’t need to put up any sign; everyone would surely know there was BBQ for sale here.
Li Qing rode his bike to the county town, visited three BBQ shops, bought up most of their prepared ingredients, and packed them to bring back. He also got twenty bottles of alcohol and some marinated delicacies, loading up an entire cart.
By the time he got back, the area under the big willow tree was brightly lit and buzzing with chatter.
Tables and chairs had already been set up, with five or six villagers per table, drinking and chatting.
Han Mei and Wu Xingxing were already fervently grilling away.
Tian Yue’e, her sister, and Yu Lan were handling ingredients on the side, instantly turning the little shop into a BBQ stall.
"Qingzi, hurry and unload the goods, then make another trip to Yue’er’s greenhouse and bring back some vegetables, remember to get more chives, chili peppers, and eggplants," Han Mei ordered as soon as Li Qing arrived.
"Okay!"
Li Qing hurriedly agreed, briefly greeted the villagers, and once again switched his focus.
In all the rush, Li Qing was slightly baffled.
By the time he came back with the vegetables, the scene under the big willow tree took him by surprise once more.
Another five or six tables had been added.
Upon closer inspection, Qin Wenjun was also helping out.
This...
What’s going on?
Suddenly, Li Qing was too busy to think straight.
He quickly delivered the vegetables to Tian Yue’e and the others for preparation.
"Sister-in-law, what’s happening?" Li Qing asked as he approached Han Mei.
Despite being busy and sweating profusely, Han Mei’s smile beamed, "Of the new tables, one is workers from Yue’er’s home doing construction, some are villagers, and the two remaining are drivers who were passing through."
"Huh? We haven’t had a chance to put up a sign yet," Li Qing asked in surprise.
"I don’t know, they probably saw us from a distance!" Han Mei laughed.
Li Qing scratched the back of his head, wondering when running a business had become so casual.
No signs, yet customers were coming to dine at the stall?
This was out of the ordinary!
"Stop dawdling; start by helping Yue’er and the others process the vegetables, then go mingle with the guests!" Han Mei urged. "You are the host of this treat after all; you can’t avoid showing your face."
Li Qing nodded, "Okay, I’m on it!"
Amid the smoke and flames, the BBQ stall’s trial run turned out to be remarkably lively.
After grilling for a while, everyone got the hang of it, and it wasn’t so chaotic.
Li Qing found himself with some free time and began toasting from table to table.
"Qingzi, business is good, eh? Do you admit that part of today’s fortune is because of me?" Tang Jianmin, already flushed from drinking, leaned on Li Qing’s shoulder and said.
"Absolutely," Li Qing replied, "If Uncle Tang hadn’t insisted on doing it himself, my BBQ stall wouldn’t have opened today. I’ll drink to Uncle Tang."
"Drink up, and let’s play a round!" Tang Jianmin said as he lifted his glass and pushed a deck of playing cards to Li Qing.
"Looks like I really have to drink today!" Li Qing quickly shuffled and smiled.
After finishing a round as the dealer, Li Qing moved to the next table.
Just as he was about to make small talk and toast a few glasses before moving on, another deck of playing cards was placed in front of him.
"Qingzi, from now on, you’re our boss. It’s not fitting just to toast; take a turn as the dealer!"
Li Qing was stunned.
At Tang Jianmin’s table, he had consumed nearly five bottles of alcohol.
If he continued to play dealer, he was afraid he’d end up lying on the ground.
But just as he was about to decline, a villager beside him raised his voice and called out, "Qingzi, you can’t play favorites like this, you can’t treat us differently. You did a round at Uncle Tang’s table, and now you just want to leave us like this?"
Li Qing: ...
Well, that comment thoroughly crushed all his options.
"I’ll sit, I’ll sit!" Li Qing said with a resigned laugh.
After another round of toasting at the table, by the time he moved to the next one, his walk had become somewhat unsteady.
"Qingzi, let’s have a round. You can’t play favorites."
...
"Qingzi, shouldn’t you also take a seat at our table?"
...
Li Qing had no idea how he got back home later on.
By the time he was conscious, it was already the next day.
And in his arms was a naked, delicate body.
It was Wu Xingxing!
Li Qing rubbed his head, having absolutely no recollection of what happened the night before.
He actually had a memory blackout!
He had always been restrained with drinking, but last night was the first time he ever drank so heavily.
After trying in vain to remember, Li Qing gave up the struggle and turned his gaze to Wu Xingxing.
She was asleep with her back to him, her slender back smooth and pale as if polished by moonlight.
Li Qing gently pressed his body against hers, greedily savoring the touching softness of the girl’s form.
Wu Xingxing was only wearing panties, nothing else.
Not being able to remember anything else didn’t really bother Li Qing.
Right now, all he wanted to know was what exactly happened between him and Wu Xingxing last night.
Whether they did that sort of thing...
Li Qing propped himself up on his elbow and gently placed his hand on Wu Xingxing’s smooth shoulder.
Wu Xingxing’s body trembled slightly.
Turns out she was pretending to sleep.
Seeing this, Li Qing smirked.
His hand naturally reached forward, capturing the delicate yet undeveloped fullness.
"How did I get back last night?" Li Qing asked.
Wu Xingxing’s eyes remained tightly shut, but her cheeks turned a distinctly noticeable red.
"Keep pretending to sleep, and I might just pull down your panties and slip it in quietly," Li Qing said, chuckling and teasingly threatening her.
Wu Xingxing suddenly opened her eyes and turned toward him, "No, it doesn’t have to be on a wedding day for the first time, but I want... it to be on a special day that would leave me with a profound memory."
"I can make today unforgettable for you!" Li Qing said with a wicked smile as he leaned down to capture her incredibly tender little red berry.
"Mmm... stop, it’s so uncomfortable..." Wu Xingxing’s face instantly turned red, and her body twisted into a knot.
The subtle softness of her body instantly stimulated Li Qing, making his blood boil.
But after suckling for a moment, he did not proceed to the next step.
He had to respect Wu Xingxing’s choice.
Even though if he were to continue forcefully, Wu Xingxing probably wouldn’t resist.
"You’ve stripped so clean, yet you reject me; isn’t this tempting me to commit a crime without letting me?" Li Qing said with a pained expression, mockingly teasing her.
Wu Xingxing’s cheeks were flushed, and she pouted in mock anger, "Still, wasn’t it your own doing!"
"My doing?!" Li Qing was surprised.
He had no memory of it at all!
