Chapter 413: Roasted Lamb
Lu Jingye did not want Zi Yi and Aisha to meet. He said, “Rick is overly protective of Aisha and also holds grudges. If you and Aisha were to meet, he would definitely think of a way to get back at you. Let me take care of both of them.”
If he could not even resolve these two people, then how was he to protect his woman in the future?”
When Zi Yi heard what Lu Jingye said, she did not continue asking anymore. As to whether they would encounter each other in the future or not, it would depend if they appear before her and seek death.
…
Zi Yi would be returning tomorrow and when Elder Hu and her went to check up on Lu Yunxiao, she pa.s.sed him a tablet. “Elder Hu, I will contact you every day to discuss Yunxiao’s condition. You can directly press this if anything were to happen.”
Elder Hu took the tablet and revealed a surprised expression. “Isn’t it impossible to communicate with the outside inside the base? Would we be able to communicate with this?”
“Yes, it’s possible.” Zi Yi randomly made up a story. “Ah Jing specially got someone to custom make this and the tablet can only connect to my phone.”
Elder Hu was still uneasy. “Would the situation inside get leaked out?”
“It won’t, Ah Jing will monitor our communication every time.”
Only then did Elder Hu relax.
Following that, Zi Yi brought Elder Hu to the lab.
Elder Hu would visit Zi Yi’s lab every day to take a look and he would be shocked by what he saw every single time. Today was no exception. He wore his reading gla.s.ses and looked through the microscope for a while before he raised his head and said in surprise, “Little friend, the active cells are responding?”
“That’s right. When the reaction is stronger, you can use it to experiment on the body.”
“Okay.”
The two of them stayed in the lab until noon before they went out to have lunch. After that, Zi Yi took her tablet and started to walk around the base.
She would always spend one hour every day walking around the base. At first, everyone was slightly wary of her, in particular, Ji Dekun. He had simply tagged along with the reasoning that he could make adjustments to any loopholes she finds.
Zi Yi did not mind it.
A few days later, Ji Dekun was even more impressed with her.
He would chat with w.a.n.g Biao and Tian Dongquan in private. “Say, Didn’t you say that Zi Yi was brought over here by Second Young Master to treat Third Young Master? Why does Elder Hu appear so busy and yet, she seems to be doing nothing all day.”
Even if it were the five of them, they did not know what kind of experiment she was doing.
They only knew that Elder Hu and her would enter the lab together every day.
“Do you think that it was by luck that she managed to cure the dark spots on Third Young Master’s body?”
Zi Yi’s skills in the computer field were already G.o.d-like and he did not believe that an eighteen year old young lady would be knowledgeable about so much.
w.a.n.g Biao joked and said, “Perhaps she’s a descendant of a hidden expert.”
He patted Ji Dekun on the shoulders and said, “Since Second Young Master told us to cooperate with her fully, and has given her such high authority, it proves that she’s not a simple person.”
Tian Dongquan agreed with w.a.n.g Biao. “In any case, Miss Zi is leaving tomorrow. It’s useless even if you really suspect her. Don’t tell me you still want to test her?”
Of course Ji Dekun would not try to test Zi Yi. “I’m not going to. It’s alright if I manage to find something suspicious, but if nothing comes up, wouldn’t the Second Young Master skin me alive if I cause trouble? It’s just like what Old w.a.n.g said, she’ll be leaving tomorrow.”
w.a.n.g Biao and Tian Dongquan were silent.
So this person had talked for so long just so that he could complain?
Tian Dongquan stood up and walked around while he said, “Since Miss Zi is leaving tomorrow, we have to prepare a farewell dinner tonight. I’ll go and see what we have available to eat. If there is anything good, we’ll have hot pot tonight.”
“Does Miss Zi eat spicy food? The spiciness of the hotpot we eat is so spicy. Why don’t we go for a barbecue instead? It just so happens that we have a whole lamb we can barbecue tonight.”
When Zi Yi heard that they were inviting her to eat barbecue lamb for tonight, she agreed enthusiastically.
Elder Hu saw her reaction and smiled. “Little Zi must have been tired of eating light food with me for the past few days. Sigh, youngsters don’t know the concept of maintaining your health.”
Zi Yi smiled, “There are many methods to maintain one’s health and it’s not necessarily through eating.”
Elder Hu can’t help but laugh.
Before Zi Yi headed to the barbecue location, she even went to the lab to do something first. Elder Hu asked what she was doing.
She said, “There are medicinal ingredients that can be used as a seasoning. I’ll use some.”
Elder Hu scolded her and said, “The medicinal ingredients here are so precious and rare. Be careful that Second Young Master Lu doesn’t come looking for you when he knows of this.”
“So be it. If he comes looking for me, I’ll pay him back then.”
Zi Yi giggled and thought of using herself as repayment.
By the time Zi Yi and Elder Hu went to the barbecue area, the five of them had already set up a barbecue grill to roast the whole lamb.
The entire dining hall was filled with the strong scene of lamb.
“Elder Hu, Miss Zi, come over and take a seat. I’ll take at most ten minutes before you can get to eat.”
Zi Yi handed one of the condiments she prepared to w.a.n.g Biao who was roasting the lamb. “Sprinkle this on the lamb. It’ll make the meat tender and fresh.”
w.a.n.g Biao took the small bottle Zi Yi had pa.s.sed to him. He looked at it in curiosity and asked, “What seasoning is this?”
The other four were also curious about the small bottle in his hand.
“I used two medicinal ingredients to make this.” She told them the names of the medicinal ingredients.
w.a.n.g Biao was so shocked that he nearly dropped the bottle. “Miss Zi, you actually used the medicinal ingredients that Second Young Master specially sought? What if there’s not enough for the Third Young Master to use?”
“Why are you worried about that? I’ve cultivated some of these medicinal ingredients for the past few days and they will soon mature. At that time, there’ll be many of these.”
Zi Yi’s expression and tone of voice sounded very casual. It made them feel that those medicinal ingredients were really that easy to cultivate.
However, they knew that the Second Young Master had spent a great deal of effort before he managed to get his hands on them, not to mention how rare these medicinal ingredients were!
Elder Hu saw that their expressions had changed several times and he smiled before he said, “What Little Zi said is true. These medicinal ingredients have already been cultivated.”
The five of them: “…”
Since that was the case, w.a.n.g Biao sprinkled the seasoning on the lamb unsparingly.
The thick aroma instantly spread out and they subconsciously swallowed their saliva.
“It’s so fragrant.”
“This is the first time I’ve known that these medicinal ingredients can be used as a seasoning.”
“It’s a pity that we can’t drink. Otherwise, how good it’ll be if we could eat this delicious lamb together with some alcohol.”
Drinking was strictly forbidden in the secret base.
Zi Yi heard what they said. “Isn’t there home-brewed alcohol here? Even if you can’t drink, you can always drink the water inside.
Zi Yi placed special emphasis on the word ‘water’.
The five of them were momentarily stunned before Ji Dekun said, “Miss Zi must also be a drinker.”
Zi Yi looked at him with bright eyes. “How did you know that?’
“Haha, the way you said about drinking the water of home-brewed alcohol had exposed your true nature.”
“…”
The others could not help but laugh at that.
