Chapter 41
Hearing what Michelle said, Zhang Lisheng chuckled without any reason, "Don't worry, Michelle . I've never planned to live my life depending on someone else's influence . To be honest, the only person I'm most afraid of in the world is now dead . He's lying on a cliff in Western Sichuan Miao Land, China, there's nobody who can offend me whenever they want now…"
All of a sudden, Michelle revealed a helpless expression as she watched Zhang Lisheng looking confident, "Are you a fan of 'The Godfather'?"
"What?"
"The movie 'The Godfather' played by Al Pacino . Stop pretending, all of my boyfriends would talk like you did just now . 'If you owe me a favor, you might need to pay it back with dignity', 'I spent my life trying not to be careless' and so on . "
"No, I wasn't imitating anyone…"
"Alright then, just pretend that I didn't come here tonight," Michelle pouted and walked out of Zhang Lisheng's room . She turned her head and spoke before she shut the door, "But I must remind you that 'A friend who's plotting against you aren't worthy of being called your friend' . "
Clearly, what Michelle said before she left was from 'The Godfather' too . Zhang Lisheng was merely smiling faintly to her advice .
He muttered to himself, "That phrase shouldn't be applied on George only," He turned off the lights once again and climbed onto his bed . He began cultivating quietly . He could no longer use wizard worm, all he could do was to cultivate by chanting witchcraft incantations . Though slow, Zhang Lisheng remained determined, hoping his constant effort would turn into something .
On the next day, the bell rang in New York Lowbige Junior High at three in the afternoon . 'Ring…', the young junior high students walked out of the classrooms in crowds while talking to each other with a smile on their faces . Zhang Lisheng waited at the entrance of the school building hall while carrying his bag . His black friend soon came to him .
"Yo, my depressed buddy . How was your day?"
"It was good as always, George . Are we going to Dan Souza Butcher Shop now?"
"Sure we can if you'd like to," George blended into the crowd with Zhang Lisheng as they talked, "Are you sure you want to work there? You don't look like you need money… Forget it, you're a mysterious fella . Pretend I didn't say anything . "
"Actually, working's just an excuse . I just want some freedom to myself," Zhang Lisheng smiled and said half-jokingly .
"So you're going to pretend to work for two days just to show your parents if they were to check on you . You're so sly," George showed an expression as he had just realized something as he spoke while laughing .
Zhang Lisheng nodded and said nothing . Both of them arrived under the tree where they parked their bicycles . They rode on it and cycled to Dan Souza Butcher Shop . It took over ten minutes to get to the butcher shop from school as they had to travel across the entire street . It would take longer to get there if they were to drive due to the heavy traffic . Such a distance is the epitome of the word 'nearby' .
Dan Souza Butcher Shop had just taken over a candy store close by recently and expanded to ten counters . It seemed like a shop with a decent scale with various raw meats and cooked meats . Their advantage compared to supermarkets was their fresh and delicious meat .
The butcher shop owner Rocky was a short, muscular white man with a beard . He seemed unsatisfied seeing skinny Zhang Lisheng coming to an interview as a part-timer . He complained, "George, the work in this shop isn't easy, it's annoying enough to have you, a little man who is always goofing around here…"
"Boss, why don't you try me and see if I could do what you assigned me before judging?"
Rocky almost choked hearing what Zhang Lisheng said . He then took a good look at this skinny young Chinese man before him and ordered right away without saying anything unnecessary, "Cut 500 gram of fresh meat into little cubes, you have one minute . "
Zhang Lisheng had cut countless meat since he was a kid to feed the venomous worm . He walked to the counter without saying a word . After washing his hands at the sink behind him, he touched the kitchen knives on the knife rack one after the other, he was checking . Eventually, he picked up a kitchen knife in the form of a straight-edged shank .
He then cut a piece of the pork loin directly with the shank, he seemed casual when he did it . Without even weighing the piece, he began swinging the shank and cut the meat into pieces of half an inch . His movement was swift, the entire process took less than half a minute . It made one dizzy to watch .
After cutting them into cubes, he packed all of the pieces and tossed them onto the electronic scale . Surprisingly, they weighed 500 grams exactly . Nothing more, nothing less .
"You . . . were you a Japanese teppanyaki chef before?" Rocky asked while stammering a little because of shock .
