"Maimai, Chenchen is so greedy for the mutton noodles you ate this afternoon. He is crying and asking to go find you to eat the mutton noodles."

"Haha! Let him come! The mutton noodles are particularly delicious. When he comes, I will ask Brother Yi to cook it for him."

In the car returning to the hotel, Zhao Jinmai was making a video call with his family.

Chen Chen, her younger brother, also came to the phone and asked her, "Sister, where is Brother Yi?"

"Ha ha!"

Zhao Jinmai was amused by him: "Why are you called Brother Yi? You should be called Brother Li Yi."

Huang Xiaoming on the side smiled and said: "What's the point? I'm older than Li Yi. Now, won't I follow you and call him Brother Yi?"

Hearing this, Li Yi smiled and said: "No, brother Xiao Ming, you should call me Li Yi! The seniority is messed up."

"Haha! It's okay."

Huang Xiaoming joked: "Let's talk about our own affairs. You call me Brother Xiaoming, and I call you Brother Yi."

"Then also call me brother Lei!"

Wu Lei's head stretched out and was immediately knocked by Huang Xiaoming: "No big, no small."

"Brother Yi."

Zhao Jinmai smiled and took the phone over and introduced to Li Yi: "This is my younger brother. He also filmed with me."

The phone showed a living room, and a little boy about five or six years old was looking at the camera curiously.

"Chen Chen?"

Li Yi smiled and waved to the camera.

"Ah! Brother Yi! Brother Yi!"

Chen Chen on the phone suddenly jumped up excitedly and laughed happily, as if he had met a fan of his idol.

When the camera turned, a middle-aged woman smiled and said: "Oh! Brother Yi, I finally meet you. Our Chenchen is obsessed with you now. He has to see you every day before he wants to eat."

Hearing this, Zhao Jinmai quickly turned the phone over: "Mom, why did you also call me Brother Yi?"

"Oh, yes, yes, I forgot."

The middle-aged woman laughed and said, "I watch the live broadcast every day and I'm used to hearing about your brother Yi's long and short stories."

"Auntie, just call me Xiao Li."

Li Yi smiled and said hello.

"Hey, hello."

The middle-aged woman said with a smile: "Our family, Chenchen, is taking piano lessons. When I have time next month, I will take him to visit the class and bring you some of our Northeast specialties."

"Okay! Thank you, auntie!"

Li Yi smiled and said: "Whatever you and Chen Chen want to eat, tell Mai Mai in advance, and I will cook it for you when you come."

"That's great! Haha!"

The middle-aged woman smiled happily, and then she seemed to have thought of something and asked: "Eh? By the way, Xiao Li, do you have a girlfriend?"

Li Yi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "No."

"Yeah?"

The middle-aged woman suddenly became interested and asked him, "What do you think of our Mai Mai?"

Before she finished speaking, Zhao Jinmai took the phone back and complained with a blushing face: "Mom, what did you say?"

"Isn't it okay for me to ask?"

The middle-aged woman disagreed: "Xiao Li is a very nice person. He can cook and make herbal tea for you. How nice is he to you? When talking about a boyfriend, you have to find someone who has good character and knows how to care for others..."

Hearing her talk becoming more and more unreliable, Zhao Jinmai quickly interrupted her: "Oh! Stop talking nonsense. I have no plans to find a boyfriend. I'm going to the hotel soon, so hang up first!"

After saying that, she quickly hung up the phone.

She secretly glanced at Liu Yifei, whose expression was calm and nothing unusual.

Seeing this, Zhao Jinmai breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said to Li Yi: "Brother Yi, don't listen to my mother's nonsense. She usually likes to joke, so don't mind!"

"It's okay."

Li Yi smiled and didn't take it to heart.

Seeing that the car was approaching the hotel, Li Yi thought of something and reminded: "We have a lot of work tomorrow. Let's take a good rest tonight, recharge our batteries, and try to get off work early tomorrow."

"good."

Everyone responded in unison.

Then, Wu Lei looked at Li Yi and asked excitedly: "Brother Yi, do you want to slaughter the sheep tomorrow?"

They waited until 11:30 p.m. to pick up the truck driver, put all the goods in the storage room, and returned to the hotel to rest.

The four sheep were also locked up in the warehouse, waiting to be turned into food.

"No killing tomorrow."

Li Yi explained: "Those live sheep are used for roasting whole lambs, barbecues and finger meats, so they must be fresh and slaughtered on the business morning the day after tomorrow to ensure that customers can eat the freshest mutton."

"All right."

Wu Lei nodded and said with a smile: "I will help you when the time comes."

He had never seen a sheep being slaughtered with his own eyes in his life, let alone helped.

"Although it's not necessary, you can do it if you want."

Li Yixiao asked: "Are you dizzy?"

"No... are you dizzy?"

Wu Lei was still very sure at first, but after seeing Li Yi's smile, he felt guilty again and added "bar" at the end of his words.

"That's good."

Li Yi smiled and said: "Just don't look at it when it's being slaughtered. Then come and help when it's time to disembowel it."

Listening to his understatement of disembowelment, Wu Lei swallowed and suddenly regretted why he took the initiative to ask for help.

At this time, Zhao Jinmai asked: "Brother Yi, I feel that my voice is almost better. Are there any kebabs to eat tomorrow?"

She was the one who suffered the most today. She only ate one skewer of mutton skewers and only one bite of lamb chops, but she ate a full belly of noodles.

But maybe the herbal tea and radish and pear syrup took effect. She felt that her throat was much better, and it should be almost better after she woke up.

“You can eat whatever you want!”

Li Yi smiled and said: "There will be a lot to eat tomorrow. Let's have noodles at noon, and naan and baked buns in the afternoon. It will definitely satisfy you."

"Very good!"

Zhao Jinmai raised his hands and cheered, very happy.

Suddenly, Liu Yifei said: "I want to eat almond tofu."

Hearing this, Li Yi smiled and said: "After you have eaten the almond tofu, I will make milk tea for you to drink! I bought milk tea and fried rice, boiled it and put it in. It is very delicious."

But Liu Yifei added: "I just want to eat almond tofu."

Li Yi was slightly startled, but still nodded: "Okay, by the way, I happened to buy almonds too. This time I made them with milk, which makes them taste better."

After he finished speaking, the car also stopped in front of the hotel.

"Get out of the car!"

Huang Xiaoming glanced at Liu Yifei, smiled and greeted everyone: "Good night everyone, go to bed early."

With that said, he got out of the car first.

Wu Lei and Zhao Jinmai also followed and got out of the car together.

Li Yi was sitting in the back row. As soon as he stood up, he saw Liu Yifei also standing up.

Seeing this, Li Yi sat back and motioned to her: "You get off first."

Liu Yifei didn't say anything, she just got out of the car first.

Li Yi followed him down and saw that Wu Lei and Zhao Jinmai had already entered the elevator with Huang Xiaoming.

It was too late to make them wait, so Li Yi walked towards the elevator without calling them.

Liu Yifei carried her bag and followed behind him, silently.

After entering the elevator, Li Yi helped her press the floor.

The elevator door closed, reflecting the shadows of the two people.

Looking at the interests in the elevator door, Liu Yifei suddenly said: "Brother Yi, I'm sorry, the way I spoke just now was not very good. I just suddenly wanted to eat almond tofu."

He glanced at her with some confusion. Li Yi didn't think much and nodded: "It's okay. Just make it if you want to eat it! It's not troublesome. I also like to eat almond tofu. It tastes better if it's refrigerated. I'll buy it this time."
