Chapter 405: , Lao Gan Ma

Thirteen Spices was something he had thought of on the spur of the moment, mainly because he didn't want to owe her too many favors.

But after reading the various meanings contained in her eyes, Li Heng was silent, and finally agreed: "Okay."

Seeing him agree, waves rose in Huang Zhaoyi's heart.

For her, getting to this point was not easy; this was a very critical step.

He didn't refuse, which meant that the man in front of her had further accepted her. Although she might not be able to compare with those women in his heart, it was undoubtedly moving in a good direction, and she was already very satisfied.

She smiled and said: "I will draft a cooperation agreement and come find you later."

Seeing her so cautious and happy, Li Heng pondered for a while and said: "Actually, Thirteen Spices is just a small thing; I have another recipe in my mind, if you are interested, you can also try it."

Huang Zhaoyi asked: "What recipe?"

Li Heng said: "Chili sauce."

Huang Zhaoyi was surprised: "Chili sauce?"

"Hmm."

Li Heng didn't hide anything anymore, asked for paper and pen from her hand again, wrote out the recipe for Lao Gan Ma from the later generations exactly as it was, and then handed it to her: "Food mainly focuses on quality, safety, and hygiene. If you really want to build a factory, I only have one requirement: that is to strive for excellence in the selection of materials and use of ingredients, and must ensure that every bite makes customers eat with peace of mind."

Huang Zhaoyi took the Lao Gan Ma recipe, lowered her head and read it three times before raising her head to guarantee it would be good.

In her heart, even if she didn't make money, she couldn't smash his signboard.

Huang Zhaoyi solemnly put the two recipes into her bag, and then asked for his opinion: "If we build a factory to produce it, what name should we give the brand?"

Li Heng said: "What name we take is not important; if it gets market recognition, any name will become catchy."

Seeing her staring at him persistently, he simply blurted out: "Let's call it Wei Hao Mei; this name is simple and catchy, easy to spread, and customers will know its function and effect as soon as they hear it."

Huang Zhaoyi silently recited "Wei Hao Mei" a few times, felt it was indeed easy to understand, and immediately agreed.

She said: "I'll go back and make a sample to test the recipe; if there is no problem with food safety, I'll come find you again."

How could there be safety problems? Of course, there would be no problems.

However, Li Heng liked her pragmatic attitude and didn't blindly follow just because of his identity. He nodded and said: "Okay. You can just send me here; it's not far ahead, I'll be at school in a few moments."

Wujiao Square was a place where local college students liked to gather. Huang Zhaoyi knew that it was not dark yet, so going to Fudan University so openly would carry a relatively large risk of being noticed by interested people. After watching him walk away, she obediently listened to his opinion, turned around, and drove back the way she came.

Returning to school, the sky had just darkened. Seeing that the doors to buildings 24, 25, and 27 were closed, Li Heng carried a bucket of water and watered the ginkgo tree with half a bucket, then circled it, muttering to himself: Damn it, it's really strange! Why do these leaves show signs of withering? I water it every day, damn it, I'm more diligent than a bee.

If it grows like this even with daily watering, if I go back for summer vacation, won't it die?

Instinctively, he wanted to entrust Yu Laoshi and Zhou Shihe to help during the summer vacation, but the next moment he extinguished this thought. Forget it, forget it, don't waste the breath.

Sprinkling the remaining half bucket on the lawn, Li Heng went straight into the study. This time he didn't study literature or write, but reviewed textbooks, preparing for the upcoming final exams.

Around 9 PM, Mai Sui and the others returned.

Sun Manning ran into the study in one breath and asked bluntly: "Li Heng, we agreed to play cards, the time is up."

Li Heng kept his word, immediately put down his books, and followed this girl to the living room.

He asked Ye Ning politely: "Comrade Ye Ning, are you really not coming?"

Ye Ning shook her hand, "Not coming, I want to write a letter to my cousin."

Seeing her mention Ye Zhanyan, Li Heng tactfully changed the subject, saying to Mai Sui and Sun Manning: "I'll be on the same side as Comrade Shihe, you two on the other."

Sun Manning asked with a giggle: "Are you sure?"

Ye Ning also tilted her head: "Exactly, exactly! Is your brain rusted? Sui Sui and Manning have hardly lost when playing cards with roommates in the dormitory. And I rarely see Shihe touch cards."

The reason she didn't touch cards usually was because of personal cultivation, not because she couldn't. On the contrary, she was very powerful. During those days of killing all sides in Jingcheng, he still had fresh memories, and he won a lot of money following her.

However, Li Heng didn't say these things, but said casually: "This is the only way it's interesting. I'm very good at playing cards, I can lead Comrade Shihe."

Zhou Shihe looked at him with a smile, not making a sound.

Mai Sui remembered that when they went to calculate their horoscopes on the 11th of the first lunar month, he had said that Shihe had the deepest fortune and won every time she played cards.

Thinking of this, Mai Sui just wanted to verify it, and said to Sun Manning: "Manning, just let Li Heng lead Shihe."

Sun Manning glanced at Mai Sui, complained "silly girl" in her heart, but smiled on the surface and said: "Let's say it in advance, we have to play for money, playing without money is boring. 5 cents base, bombs double, bombs are not graded, no cap on bombs."

The three of Li Heng had no opinion on this. Grading bombs would make the wins and losses too large, and they were all close people, so it was easy to hurt the harmony.

What is called deep fortune? Mai Sui soon saw it. In the first three rounds, Zhou Shihe grabbed 3 bombs every time, and they weren't small bombs, directly shaving her and Sun Manning bald, not even getting 30 points.

Sun Manning felt something was wrong and asked Zhou Shihe: "Shihe, did you step in dog poop tonight?"

Zhou Shihe smiled faintly and didn't speak, starting to grab the 4th round of cards. As a result, as soon as she finished grabbing, she smiled warmly at Li Heng and said: "I have 4 bombs, you go first, don't worry about me."

Li Heng: "."

Sun Manning: "."

Mai Sui: "."

Ye Ning didn't even write the letter, running over to sit next to Zhou Shihe to join the fun.

No surprise, in the 4th round, Sun Manning and Mai Sui were shaved bald again, not getting a single point.

In the next three rounds, Li Heng and Zhou Shihe still won. Sun Manning couldn't sit still, "Boring! It's boring to play! Didn't win a single round, it's too outrageous. Shihe, are you cheating? How can the cards be this good?"

Zhou Shihe smiled knowingly and said gently: "You ask Ning Ning."

Ye Ning was already dumbfounded at this moment, "Shihe has 8 Aces in her hand now, do you believe it?"

Several people all poked their heads over, speechless together. Not only did she have 8 Aces, but also four 4s, four 7s, and only 3 single cards, it was simply incredible!

Sun Manning put down the cards in her hand, clamoring: "Not playing anymore, what's the point of playing this round, just shave bald, I admit defeat."

Then she asked Li Heng: "How many bombs do you have? Mai Sui and I need to pay."

Li Heng said: "My cards are quite smooth, but no bombs."

After paying the money, Sun Manning pulled a donkey face and said to Zhou Shihe: "Shihe, you rest, let Ye Ning take over. Played all night, no fun at all! Woo! Going crazy, playing with a 5-cent base, I actually lost more than 90 yuan. If I had known, I would have capped the bombs."

Hearing this, Zhou Shihe really gave up her seat to Ye Ning, and she sat on the side to watch.

Seeing this, Li Heng beckoned, "Comrade Shihe, come to my side, don't teach Ye Ning."

Mai Sui glanced at him and smiled softly. How could she not understand his thoughts? But because there were people around, she pretended not to know.

Similarly, Zhou Shihe also understood his thoughts. After pondering for a moment, she walked over and sat in the middle position between him and Mai Sui.

Li Heng whispered to her in a voice only the two of them could hear: "Don't sit in the middle, lean toward me a bit, I want to be comfortable for a few rounds."

Zhou Shihe smiled cleverly, gave him face, and moved her position again.

This night, with the God of Wealth sitting in town, Li Heng was almost always winning. Later, he was a bit embarrassed to win, and just as Yu Laoshi came to visit, he gave his seat to Yu Laoshi and stopped.

Li Heng organized the money in his hand, divided a small half to Zhou Shihe according to the old rules, and asked her: "How is the final review?"

Zhou Shihe answered: "Almost there."

Hearing this, Li Heng raised his left wrist to look at his watch, "Let's go, help me out, I'll go make some midnight snacks."

Zhou Shihe got up and followed him toward the corridor entrance.

There were still a few days until the exam, and everyone had a blast this night, not dispersing until three in the morning.

Before parting, Yu Shuheng asked him: "When do you plan to finish 'Bai Luyuan'?"

Li Heng told her: "Wait until I come back from home during summer vacation."

Yu Shuheng glanced at Mai Sui, who had been left behind by someone, and left building 26 with the others.

Once people left, Mai Sui said in surprise: "Is there really such a thing as fate in the world? Why is Shihe's luck so good?"

Thinking of her two lives, Li Heng couldn't directly deny it, saying vaguely: "Not very clear, maybe if you believe it, it exists, if you don't, it doesn't. However, various civilizations in the world have records about this aspect, and I maintain a certain degree of awe for this."

After finishing talking about Zhou Shihe, Li Heng said to her: "It's not early, let's sleep too."

"Hmm."

Having kissed him a limited number of times, Mai Sui basically wouldn't blush when hearing this now. After a simple wash, she returned to the secondary bedroom.
