CHAPTER 985: CHAPTER 569: WHAT A STUPID QUESTION

Marathon 20 km supply point.

The morning sun shone, and the crowd gathered here, accompanied by the aroma of barbecue spreading, like an invisible hand, pulling every passerby, with more and more people stopping by.

If it weren’t for the Evergreen Liquid arranging security personnel in advance, the defense line would have long been overwhelmed by the crowd.

After all, this is a little sow raised in Hu Qi Mountain, growing in a place rich in spiritual energy, usually eating food infused with spiritual energy, currently in its juvenile stage, accumulating fat, making its meat even more tender.

This kind of meat, even without seasoning, just lightly blanched in water, can deliver an amazing taste.

Moreover, now it’s being grilled by a barbecue chef hired by the Evergreen Liquid, marinated first, then grilled, all the way from dawn till now.

The adults around couldn’t help swallowing, unable to resist such temptation, but due to security and their own dignity as people, they could only watch from afar.

On the contrary, many children, smelling the enticing aroma yet unable to eat it, cried out in frustration, wailing loudly.

But their parents couldn’t eat either, let alone these children.

Even some children couldn’t take it anymore, showcasing their signature moves, started throwing tantrums, some lying on the ground, hitting the floor, crying loudly.

Their cries were sharp and urgent, like razor blades cutting through people’s ears, making everyone increasingly irritable.

An aunt, unable to see her grandson suffer, raised her voice: "My grandson is only three this year, he’s just a child!"

Similar cries rose one after another.

But the security personnel around didn’t budge at all; many of them are migrant workers, who had to leave their hometowns and endure the pain of family separation to work and make a living elsewhere.

Now, Evergreen Liquid offers them 8,000 yuan a month, with ten days off each month, comprehensive benefits, how dare they let the defense line be breached over a little sympathy?

Unless they’ve gone mad!

These security personnel were more diligent than many official police, forming a solid human wall.

In such circumstances, Chen Siyu’s twins, dressed in volunteer uniforms, arrived here.

Xue Yuantong was intimidated by the nearby crowd and specifically instructed Chuchu to lag behind the twins a bit, letting them attract attention for her, diverting the trouble elsewhere.

And cleverly, she focused on eating the barbecue, profiting greatly.

Chen Siyu parked the electric scooter, jumped off the bike, and faced the surging crowd fearlessly, pulling her sister to the barbecue grill.

Staring at the deliciously roasted meat, the two girls’ eyes lit up instantly, exchanged a glance, and swallowed together.

Chen Siyu grabbed the volunteer badge: "Can we eat it?"

The barbecue chef was waiting for this moment, his attitude warm, "Yes, you can eat!"

With that, he sliced a few pieces of spiced roasted meat, placed them on a small iron plate, and handed them over.

Chen Siyu took the barbecue, immediately tasted a piece, and as she enjoyed the barbecue, many around swallowed their saliva, hunger unbearable.

The man in a suit, trying to buy the barbecue, was indignant.

The children rolling on the ground cried even louder.

This scene, absurd yet real, chaotic yet orderly, bizarre.

In the same place, some were joyful, some were sad, some were eating meat, others were watching people eat meat.

Chen Siyu tasted a bite of the barbecue, perfectly cooked, with a completely different texture from the grilled lamb and beef she had eaten before.

This piece of barbecue was incredibly delicious, crispy on the outside, tender inside, with an extremely rich texture, and as the teeth bit down, a stream of juices burst out, forming a warm flow, followed by a sense of clarity spreading.

"This is so delicious, woo!" Chen Siyu exclaimed, "Sister, try it quickly!"

She forked a piece of barbecue for her beloved sister.

Meanwhile, Xue Yuantong also handed over her volunteer badge, receiving the fragrant roasted little wild sow.

Although Li Shi was a girl, she was tall, with a net height of over 1.75 meters, surpassing the average male height in Yuzhou, so standing in the crowd, she could see clearly.

She said angrily: "Let’s go, let’s go home."

Although she said so, her steps did not move, still holding a sliver of hope in her heart, ’What if I can eat a piece?’

...

Yu Zhou City, a residential building.

Guo Ran got off the taxi; today, she wore a dark blue denim dress, its unique texture highlighting her lovely waistline, showcasing her graceful figure.

Her features were delicate, skin flawless, and her demeanor gave off a very approachable vibe.

She was called over by relatives to play, being one of the few relatives she had in Yuzhou, and although her relatives always tried to introduce her to potential partners, after Guo Ran rejected them multiple times, it had stopped happening.

At the entrance of the residential area, an aunt dressed in affluent attire greeted Guo Ran with a smile.

After a brief conversation, the aunt said: "Today, I’ll introduce someone for you to meet!"

Guo Ran almost turned around and left after hearing that.

The aunt quickly said: "Hey, you’ve come all this way, let me tell you, this young man is remarkable, his parents run a factory with dozens of employees, and they live in a villa!"

The aunt introduced with a blooming smile.

Her niece living alone in Yuzhou, being a teacher with a stable job, beautiful looks, if she could marry into a good family, she would surely appreciate her kindness!

She could certainly gain some benefits.

"The young man is very honest and hasn’t pursued a girl before, remember to be proactive." She emphasized in advance.

Outwardly, Guo Ran dealt with it, but inwardly, she was troubled.

Originally, after Jiang Ning accompanied her on a blind date last time, she promised never to go on a blind date again, who knew relatives had so many tricks, ostensibly inviting her to play, only to set her up on a blind date.
