The Billion-Value Lands Are Just For Farming

Chapter 433 - Trimetric Classic

As Su Ming perused the menu, a rumble of an engine echoed from a short distance away.

Several patrons nearby, mid-sip, craned their necks.

“Just by the sound of that engine, you can tell that car didn't come cheap.”

“It's got to be at least a V8.”

“Man, if I could drive a car like that even once in my life, it'd give it all the meaning it needs.”

“Dream on.”

Su Ming chuckled to himself as he overheard their banter.

The engine's purr was indeed enticing; the car must be quite the machine.

But for someone like Su Ming, who had lost the thrill of car shopping, it failed to pique his interest.

He returned his attention to the menu, but something felt off.

The engine's growl seemed to be drawing nearer.

Looking up, Su Ming spotted a sleek red Ferrari racing down the road towards them.

The street was bustling with barbecue-goers.

The sight of the flashy sports car sent a ripple of astonishment through the crowd.

Who could the owner be?

The car was downright impressive.

As onlookers gaped at the sports car, it pulled up right in front of the shop where Su Ming was seated.

The Ferrari came to a smooth halt, the door swung open, and out stepped a pair of white feet clad in black high heels, followed by smooth, slender legs. A stunning beauty emerged from the vehicle.

With her long hair cascading over her shoulders, complemented by a red dress, her striking looks brought an instant hush over the lively barbecue stand.

All eyes were on her.

The clinking of bottles and glasses dropping filled the air intermittently.

A gorgeous woman stepping out of a luxury sports car—it was like a scene straight out of a movie.

It took a moment for the crowd to snap out of their daze.

“She's gorgeous, like a goddess.”

“What are the odds she'd give me her number if I asked?”

“You'll never get her number.”

“Hey, don't knock my confidence.”

“You're not in her league.”

Their words had barely faded when another voice chimed in.

“Stop ogling the lady; our drinks are getting warm!”

“Quit staring and turn those skewers; they're burning!”

“You're stepping on my foot!”

Chaos ensued.

Su Ming realized the stunning woman was none other than Xiao Ke'er.

Xiao Ke'er stood in front of the Ferrari, her eyes catching sight of Su Ming.

With a slight smile, she made her way over to Su Ming's side.

She smoothed out her skirt before taking a seat on the chair.

The surrounding men let out a collective groan of envy.

They were all there to enjoy some kebabs, so how did this lucky guy manage to have such a stunning woman by his side?

And they scoffed at the idea of him taking a beauty like her out for mere kebabs.

If they were in his shoes, they'd treat a woman like that to a lavish dinner.

Su Ming paid no mind to the onlookers' stares, instead, he warmly regarded Xiao Ke'er with a smile.

“You seem a bit tired,” Su Ming observed with a grin.

“Yes, a bit. I usually take a nap in the afternoon, but I skipped it today since we had plans for dinner,” she admitted.

“Xiao Chen reminded me every half hour, and just as I'd start to doze off, his voice would wake me. That's why I didn't get a good rest. As punishment, I had him stay home and write out the Trimetric Classic,” Xiao Ke'er recounted cheerfully.

Su Ming couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness upon hearing this.

It's often said that an elder sister is like a mother, and her authority is not to be challenged.

Xiao Chen reacted to Xiao Ke'er much like a mouse to a cat, more terrified of her than even his father, Xiao Luomu.

Su Ming felt a quiet pang of sympathy for Xiao Chen.

After all, Xiao Chen's reminders were meant to be helpful to Xiao Ke'er.

“But writing the Trimetric Classic is beneficial. Xiao Chen, it won't hurt to write it a few more times. I'll take you out for some fun next time to make up for it,” Su Ming mused to himself.

Meanwhile, Xiao Chen sat in the study, grimacing as he copied the Trimetric Classic, sneezing several times in succession.

He rubbed his nose and flexed his aching wrist.

Unable to resist, Xiao Chen muttered under his breath, “Xiao Ke'er, I was just looking out for your best interests! And this is how you repay me? I won't bother reminding you again!”

Su Ming presented the menu to Xiao Ke'er, suggesting, “Have a look, what would you like to eat?”

Xiao Ke'er picked up the menu and perused it before suggesting, “Why don't you choose?”

”Due to strict rules at home, I've hardly had the chance to enjoy barbecue, so I'm not very familiar with it,” she admitted.

Handing the menu back to Su Ming, Xiao Ke'er watched as he gave it a thoughtful look.

“Lady Boss,” Su Ming called out, beckoning her over with a wave.

The Lady Boss approached briskly and inquired, “What will it be, young man? And is this your girlfriend? She's stunning—like a figure straight out of a painting!”

“Yes, she is. Thank you,” Su Ming replied, grinning.

Unbeknownst to Su Ming, Xiao Ke'er's cheeks flushed with color, and her heart rate picked up at his words. She quickly regained her composure, yet a flutter of excitement stirred within her.

”Do you have any dietary restrictions?” Su Ming asked, turning to Xiao Ke'er.

“I'm good with anything, but I can't handle too much spice,” she responded.

Su Ming nodded and placed their order. “Let's get twenty mutton skewers, twenty beef skewers, ten large oysters, and spicy crayfish—make sure the crayfish are fresh.”

While Xiao Ke'er was new to the barbecue experience, Su Ming was a seasoned aficionado, choosing items that were known for their tastiness.

Barbecue is a beloved dining option among the masses, offering both affordability and flavor.

Considering the amount of food, Su Ming decided, “This should be enough for us. Let's keep the barbecue seasoning mild. And we'll take a room-temperature cola and a cup of warm water, please.”

“Got it!” The Lady Boss confirmed with a nod before bustling off to fulfill the order.

Soon after, the mutton and beef skewers Su Ming had requested were served.

“Give these a try,” Su Ming said, as he picked up a napkin, wrapped it around the end of a skewer, and offered it to Xiao Ke'er.
