I'm The Hard Rice King

Chapter 32 Master and Disciple Dinner

The four masters and apprentices ate Chaozhou fresh beef hot pot for this meal, and the place was chosen by Zhao Qingge.

The hot pot restaurant is only five or six kilometers away from North China Normal University. Despite the traffic jam, it took half an hour to get there.

Li Peifeng actually really wanted to go to a high-end restaurant where a meal would cost 18,000 yuan. After eating three meals there, Zhao Qingge would have completed his mission, but he was still too thin-skinned to open his mouth.

When it was time to eat, Zhao Qingge took the three of them into the private room that had been reserved in advance. The waiter handed over the menu, and she handed it to Li Peifeng with her backhand.

"How many orders do you have?"

"Snowflakes, dragonfly, pork tendon, breast, tender meat, beef tongue, beef balls, spoon handle and key kernel... have a plate of each of the above!"

Li Peifeng took the menu and glanced at it, ordered various parts of the beef, and handed it to the two junior sisters. They asked for some vegetables and staple food before giving up.

Li Peifeng did a rough calculation and estimated that the meal would cost only six to seven hundred yuan, but he couldn't help but feel a lack of interest.

After all, he came here after abandoning his family's Aolong. Going out to eat out has lowered his standard, and it is inevitable that he will feel a little disappointed.

But after the food is served, pick up a pair of tender beef with chopsticks, put it into the hot tonic pot, pick it up after ten seconds, and put it in your mouth covered with sand tea sauce.

Take a bite and feel the firm and chewy texture, or the tender and juicy texture. The beefy taste in your mouth has a long aftertaste. It can only make Li Peifeng, who is holding the bowl, turn into a calf in a cow pen: "Moo~~~"

"Huh? What's the sound?" Zhao Qingge looked at his eldest apprentice suspiciously.

"I thought I heard a cow braying."

"Talking nonsense!"

Li Peifeng blushed: "I just said clearly, it smells so good!!"

"Really? I thought you were snatched away by a calf!"

"Ha ha!"

…

Twenty minutes later, the hot pot restaurant's private room was steaming with steam. Everyone took off their coats, and the women present were 60% full.

Zhao Qingge had time to ask about the academic status of the two junior sisters and asked several small questions to test. The answers she received were not very satisfactory to her.

"I listened to the class, but I still read too few books. How can this be done?!"

After that, Zhao Qingge dictated a list of more than a dozen books to the two of them, and assigned a final assignment, which was to read all the books in the list and then write a review and give it to her.

"That's right." Zhao Qingge glanced at Li Peifeng intentionally or unintentionally, and said: "Add another book to the book list, "One Hundred and Eight Treasures in the Child of a Female Queen; I Become a Boss in Liangshan"."

"..."

Li Peifeng's hand holding the chopsticks to hold the meat remained motionless, but his eyes wandered to the windows and doorways in the private room, wondering which way to escape the scene would be faster.

"What kind of book is this?"

"The name sounds weird!"

Lu Jing and Lin Zhihui are very novel.

"You'll know after reading it." Zhao Qingge said with a smile: "Send me the review before the end of the term. What I just mentioned are all new books in recent years. There are online literature and traditional literature. They are the research topics of novels in the twenty years of the new century. You write part of it with your heart."

"Yeah, I understand."

Lu Jing and Lin Zhihui nodded in agreement, complaining secretly in their hearts that they didn't even want to eat.

The two girls looked at each other, and finally looked at Li Peifeng, who was engrossed in eating meat.

"What is senior brother's final paper?"

Lu Jing said curiously and with a hint of longing: "If the subject matter is similar to ours, we can have time to communicate and learn together."

You little girl has a very bad conscience!

Li Peifeng saw through the other party's sinister intentions at a glance. What kind of learning and communication? She wanted to drag herself into trouble and remind Lao Zhao to give herself a final homework. This was her purpose.

"You senior brothers don't need me to keep homework."

Zhao Qingge chewed slowly and said with a smile: "He himself has articles to write, but if you encounter something you don't understand, you can ask him for consultation."

The plan to deceive people failed...

"oh."

Lu Jing was a little disappointed, but Lin Zhihui asked: "Is this your graduation thesis that senior brother is writing? Can you tell me what the title is?"

Li Peifeng was vague: "You will know when it is released."

Zhao Qingge smiled and said: "It has something to do with his own works. You don't know, right? Your senior brother is an online writer. He signed a contract with the Dingmin Nvpin Novel Network and wrote seven or eight novels."

"Huh? Really?"

"Senior brother, what is your pen name? Why haven't you said it before?!"

"Yes, yes, tell us, we will also contribute some recommendations and subscriptions to you on the website!"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Jing and Lin Zhihui were filled with surprise and chattered non-stop. Because Li Peifeng kept confidentiality very well, they had no idea that Li was writing novels on the Internet.

"Senior brother, why don't you speak?"

"Tell us what book you wrote, and I can recommend it to my classmates and call on them to read it together!"

"Yes, yes, advertising online novels is very important!"

Seeing that Li Peifeng had been working silently, Lu Jing deliberately asked, "Is it because she didn't get good grades? She was afraid of losing face, so she didn't want us to know..."

"I'm stuffed!"

Li Peifeng put down his bowls and chopsticks, sat upright and said seriously: "Director, when are we leaving?"

I can’t eat this meal anymore! Lao Zhao gave a few more hints, and the matter of writing sow articles would be completely exposed.

"You child, you are disobedient!"

Zhao Qingge had a kind face, but there was a hint of joking in his eyes: "I told you to eat less for lunch, but you didn't listen. You swiped my meal card for more than 300 yuan, and you see, you can't eat anymore?!"

More than three hundred? its not right! How do you know this? The meal card is not a bank card, and there is no text message reminder, unless someone...

Li Peifeng was shocked and subconsciously looked at the two junior sisters. There was a mole! !

Lu Jing expressed her disdain: "What do you think? I thought you were the one who invited me for lunch, but when I was chatting with the teacher while I was waiting for you downstairs, I found out that you actually used the teacher's meal card!"

Lin Zhihui whispered: "Hang a steelyard in the pit - it's a bit too much!"

Dangdang, a graduate student in the Department of Chinese Language and Literature, you are responsible for researching the idioms, right?

But...this is easy to explain, listen to my quibbles!

"What?!"

Li Peifeng was as if he was possessed by the movie king, his expression was extremely astonished: "I swiped your meal card, teacher? That's not right! I clearly swiped my own at that time..."

Before he finished speaking, he slapped his thigh and said regretfully: "I must have picked up the wrong thing at the time! Oops, this was too bad. Let's do this. Next time, next time we all have another meal, I Come pay the bill!”

"When will it be next time?"

“Set a time and place, so that you don’t have to worry about it next time!”

Lu Jing and Lin Zhihui started making noises, and Li Peifeng was unequivocal: "You decide, when and where you want to eat, it doesn't matter to me. I'm only responsible for paying the bill."

The meal passed by while talking and laughing, but what made the three students strange was that in the past when eating with their tutor, Zhao Qingge would usually check out and leave in advance.

The main reason was that they were afraid that the students and the teacher would be depressed and unable to let go when eating together, but this time it didn't happen, and they persisted until the end.

And during the dinner, he completely put down his teacher's pretense and stopped talking about academic matters. He joked with the three of them like peers and chatted about trivial matters.

This made Lu Jing and Lin Zhihui feel a little strange. After coming out of the hotel, they started talking in low voices...

"Director Zhao is a little different today. He is so kind and like a sister."

"Hmm, maybe it's because we've been together for a long time and we're familiar with each other... Senior brother, what do you think?"

Li Peifeng said casually: "I think you'd better hurry up and read books and learn to write reviews. If Director Zhao is not satisfied with your final assignment, she can keep asking you to change it until the end of the semester. Then you will know whether she is a close sister or a Breaking Bad Master." .”

Lu Jing and Lin Zhihui looked at each other.

"what's the topic?"

Zhao Qingge, who had just paid the bill, came out of the hotel door, and a system prompt popped up in front of Li Peifeng...

[Zhao Qingge treated guests to dinner and spent 645 yuan, leaving 29,023 yuan left before completing the assessment task (Zhao Qingge). 】

"Ah, there's nothing to talk about. You can drive away."

Lu Jing said quickly: "The three of us can just take the subway back."

"Farewell. It's our way anyway. Get in the car and I'll take you back."

The two junior sisters didn't understand, but Li Peifeng understood very well. From here to the North China Normal University campus and Zhao Qingge's return home are completely opposite directions. It's nonsense to talk about taking the same route.

Maybe it’s my teacher’s kindness. Thunder, rain and dew are all my teacher’s kindness. We just need to be grateful.

Li Peifeng thinks so...

More than 20 minutes later, the car arrived and was returned to the front of North China Normal School.

Lu Jing and Lin Zhihui got out of the car after saying goodbye. Only Li Peifeng and Zhao Qingge were left in the car. But only five hundred meters ahead was the community where Li Peifeng rented a house. They were there just as soon as they stepped on the accelerator.

Li Peifeng thanked him and was about to get out of the car when he heard Zhao Qingge say: "Your monthly research assistant funding has been increased by one thousand, and I will give you another thousand. Don't make this matter public."

What sudden good news! Perhaps it was because he was showing off in the group and pretending to be poor that the instructor felt sympathy.

Li Peifeng subconsciously wondered in his heart whether Zhao Qingge could acknowledge the thousand systems that Zhao Qingge personally gave him. At the same time, he smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you, Director!"

Zhao Qingge also smiled and said: "I don't know how much your manuscript fee is, but from now on, you will have 4,000 in research assistantships alone every month, plus scholarships and bursaries, the average is at least 6,000 per month. It should be enough." Did you spend it?!"

Li Peifeng wasn't sure: "It should be...enough, right?"

"Um."

Zhao Qingge nodded with a gentle expression, and said with a hint of an order that could not be refused: "Then don't post photos in the group to ask for red envelopes from readers. Although I can't control your behavior, but let me find out about it again , I will definitely tell your parents."

You can give me an extra 2,000 yuan a month at most, and I can ask for at least 20,000 to 30,000 yuan from my group friends. You are cutting off my financial path...

Li Peifeng nodded obediently: "Okay!"

"Then go home."

"Goodbye, Director!"

Li Peifeng got out of the car and stood outside the car. Just as he was about to close the door, he seemed to ask casually: "Hey, what is your TT nickname? When you get back, I will add you as a friend and have multiple contact information to facilitate future academic exchanges. .”

Zhao Qingge leaned back in the driver's seat, holding the steering wheel with one hand and pushing up his gold-rimmed glasses with the other. He said with a half-smile, "I don't think it's necessary."

Li Peifeng was confused: "Why?"

"you guess."

Looking at the BMW car going away, Li Peifeng gritted his teeth: "I guess, I guess hard, don't let me guess, if you let me guess, I will give you, a bad woman who watches piracy, a free flight!!! "
