The Growth System Comes at the Age of Thirty

Chapter 116 Chen Qiyun’s Little Treasury

After finishing the conversation with Zhou Manlin.

Chen Jingle thought for a while and sent a message to Li Beixing: "Your friend Zhou Manlin wanted to invite me to dinner and asked you to go too. I agreed."

"Well, she just told me." Li Beixing smiled subconsciously.

Chen Jingle said embarrassedly: "I originally wanted to find an opportunity to invite you to dinner, but I didn't expect that you invited me first."

Li Beixing couldn't help but smile: "It doesn't matter who comes first and who comes last."

Compared to restaurants outside, she actually wanted to try Chen Jingle's cooking, but she was too embarrassed to say it.

She couldn't forget the cold beef that Chen Qiyun brought last time. Aunt Wang tried it twice at home, but she couldn't get the same taste. She always felt that there was a slight difference.

Obviously I followed the steps in the video.

She even wondered if it was a problem with the seasoning, and asked Chen Jingle how to adjust the seasoning, but the result was still different.

Li Beixing bit his lip: "Although Tangyuan's food tastes good, it's probably not as good as top chef's food."

Chen Jingle didn't think too much: "As long as it's not expensive and tastes bad, I can do it."

He thought Li Beixing was afraid that he wouldn't like the taste of the restaurant outside.

In fact, for Chen Jingle, whether a restaurant is delicious or not largely depends on its cost-effectiveness.

The meat-and-vegetarian self-service lunch box for 8 yuan is a delicacy in the world, and the clear soup noodles for 50 yuan will not even be eaten by dogs!

Li Beixing: "..."

It felt like she was showing her flirtatious looks to a blind man, pretending she didn't say anything.

In fact, what he cooked didn't feel that delicious. Aunt Wang's cooking was almost the same, and the ingredients used at home were better.

No need to dwell on this.

Hum~

…

"Friday night at 6:30..."

Chen Jingle put away his phone, frowned slightly, and thought: "The schedule will have to be adjusted by then."

There are still three days before the agreed date, so there is no rush.

As the saying goes, three days are for invitations, two days are for calling, the same day is for mentioning, and the second is for midnight.

Although Chen Jingle doesn't pay attention to these things, it is always good to give a few days' advance notice and have enough time to change the schedule.

Courses during the day will not be affected, mainly extracurricular study time in the evening.

Fortunately, this is not a formal course and there is no need to make it up.

Just pay attention to the dinner that day, just make enough for Chen Qiyun alone, or just make more for lunch and heat it up for her for dinner.

Say Chen Qiyun, Chen Qiyun will be here.

She just came back from school, carrying her small schoolbag and walking into the house. As usual, she threw it on the mahogany sofa and went into the kitchen to see what was for lunch today.

Chen Jingle turned off the gas valve, wrapped the pot in a rag and carefully brought it to the dining table.

"What is this?" Chen Qiyun looked at the clay pot and asked.

Chen Jingle replied casually: "Five-finger peach stewed in chicken soup."

She knew about Five-Finger Maotao. Her mother had used it to make chicken soup before.

But Chen Qiyun frowned: "Soup~"

In fact, she doesn't like soup, which is unlike a Lingnan person.

Grandparents always say that she doesn't grow taller because she doesn't drink soup.

But the biology teacher said that the soup actually doesn't have much nutrition, and the real nutrition is in the meat.

Chen Jingle didn't care what she thought, he opened the lid of the earthen pot and prepared to serve the soup. The moment he opened the lid, the aroma of chicken soup with coconut fragrance overflowed.

Chen Qiyun blinked.

Peering into the clay pot, there wasn't much of the chicken fat she hated floating on the surface.

Maybe try it.

His eyes fell on another plate of food on the table, and his eyes lit up: "What does this mean?"

"Arhat prawn." Chen Jingle washed and dried his hands and prepared to take the dishes and chopsticks.

"Arhat? Why is it called Arhat Prawn?"

"People say the shrimp meat is round, like an Arhat's belly."

Although she didn't quite understand, out of her trust in Chen Jingle's cooking skills, Chen Qiyun quickly washed her hands and prepared to eat.

Following Chen Jingle's example, he served himself a bowl of chicken soup and let it cool down slowly before drinking.

Mmm, it tastes really good!

It tastes much better than her mother's.

It's obviously the same five-finger peach and chicken soup, cooked in the same earthen pot, but the taste of Chen Jingle's soup is a little different.

…

"Brother Le~"

Chen Qiyun suddenly spoke.

"Huh?" Chen Jingle turned his head slightly.

Chen Qiyun's eyes kept rolling: "I eat here every day, do you have to spend more money to buy food?"

Chen Jingle picked up the rice and said, "What? Do you want to pay me for food?"

"It's not impossible." Chen Qiyun pursed her lips and her eyes wandered.

Chen Jingle smiled.

Probably feeling that Chen Jingle's smile was a bit contemptuous and mocking, Chen Qiyun was a little annoyed and snorted: "Why, do you think I can't afford it? I'm not afraid to tell you, I'm very rich!"

"oh?"

The smile on Chen Jingle's face became even bigger: "How rich does it mean to be rich?"

Chen Qiyun raised her chin: "Let you see my WX wallet!"

After saying that, she put down her chopsticks, clicked on her watch, and showed the balance of her WX wallet.

Chen Jingle glanced at it, and saw 236.75, with some parts and even parts.

Suddenly his eyebrows raised: "It's quite a lot, who gave it to you?"

"I saved it slowly by myself."

Chen Qiyun was very proud: "When my mom, Sister Xiu, and grandpa give me money to buy school supplies, they always give me a little more money. I save all the cash, and I give the cash to my classmates and ask them to transfer it to me through WX. Sometimes they play games to advance to the competition. If you can’t fight, ask me to fight for you, and you’ll give me money.”

"Awesome!" Chen Jingle couldn't help but applaud. He was able to make money and save money at a young age, beating 90% of college students.

Out of curiosity, I asked: "How much do you charge them for a promotion match?"

"Five yuan, no money if you don't win." Chen Qiyun was very proud.

"Can I compete in any promotion competition for any rank?"

"Things below the king's level are generally fine."

Gee, his gaming talent is much better than that of Chen Jingle.

Whether it's League of Legends or King of Glory, he can't understand one word of it, he's a loser!

But it’s only a little over two hundred yuan…

Chen Jingle laughed: "Then do you know how much the chicken is used to make soup?"

"How many?"

"It's 25 yuan per catty. I bought half one for 55 yuan."

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

Chen Qiyun, who was still very proud, suddenly froze, her neck shrunk and her eyes widened.

This, such a little thing, 55 yuan? !

Chen Jingle was very satisfied with her expression, and pointed to the Luohan prawns next to him and said: "Now is not an important holiday, prawns are cheap, 35 per catty, 70 for two catties. If it is a Chinese New Year or a holiday, it can go up to 80 per catty."

Chen Qiyun didn't dare to speak anymore and swallowed secretly.

So her little money is only enough for two days?

Oh no, it’s two meals!

Thinking of this, she glanced at Chen Jingle's reaction with an embarrassed expression.

Chen Jingle chuckled: "It's good that you can think of paying for food. But, although your brother and I don't have much ability, we still have money to buy groceries. Besides, making money to support the family is something that adults should consider. Don’t worry about children. As a student, if you can do well in your studies, you will be successful. If you feel sorry for yourself, just try to grow taller.”

She is doing well in studies and has been making progress recently, but when it comes to growing taller, Chen Qiyun's face suddenly falls.

She also wants to grow, but the problem is that her body is not living up to expectations, what can be done?

Two bottles of milk a day, three good meals, and skipping rope every day were the limit of what she could do. What more?

Damn it, I wish I could grow as fast as a big white pig that eats feed.

Chen Jingle was thinking about another problem.

Not just Chen Qiyun, in fact most people are not familiar with the importance of food and rice.

Of course, Chen Jingle's daily consumption level is definitely slightly better than that of ordinary people.

Generally speaking, for families not in first- or second-tier cities, 1,500 per capita food expenses are pretty good, as they can guarantee a combination of meat and vegetables and fruits after meals.

The premise is reasonable planning.

If it’s seafood, steak, lamb chops, durian and cherries, I’m afraid it won’t be enough even if it’s doubled.

For a while, both of them were silent, lost in thought.

"Okay, let's eat!"

Chen Jingle tapped Chen Qiyun on the head with the end of a chopstick to stop the little girl from thinking.

It's just an extra pair of chopsticks, no matter how big a deal it is, two people won't eat much more than when he was alone, it's just that the rice is cooked for one person.

Besides, he now has many ways to make money.

It’s just that I don’t have big money, but I can easily make small money. I will have to add another 60,000 yuan to my account soon, and my life is comfortable.

In comparison, food expenses of four to five thousand a month are nothing.

No need to worry at all!

Chen Qiyun came back to her senses, pouted, said nothing, and buried herself in the soup.

…

In the next few days, Chen Jingle's schedule was full every day.

I’ve done a lot of things, but I feel like I haven’t.

No wonder people say there are 365 days in a year, but most people repeat the same day 365 days.

Too many repetitive schedules made him feel that his days were becoming dull and time was slipping away quickly.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with being mediocre in itself.

With the help of the system, he can make a little progress every day, and he can see a more perfect version of himself every day when he wakes up. Such an ordinary life is the envy of many people.

Not every day is so ordinary.

Considering that he had to go to an appointment on Friday night, Chen Jingle thought about it and took the time to finish the portrait he had promised to Li Beixing.

In addition to the two works of Boss Long that she needs to help deliver, she will bring them with her when the time comes.

Draw very carefully.

In terms of quality, it is not inferior to the previous meticulous flower-and-bird paintings, but the style is a little different. I’m not sure if people will like it or not.

"Hmm~ It seems I missed something."

Chen Jingle thought for a while, took out another piece of paper, wrote a sentence, and found a small photo frame to put it in.

At noon,

He said to Chen Qiyun: "I will go out to eat with friends in the evening and will not eat at home. I will leave a portion of the lunch meal for you in the evening. Is that okay?"

"Where are you going to eat?" Chen Qiyun was curious.

Chen Jingle glanced at her: "Why are you asking so many questions? I won't take you with me."

Chen Qiyun pursed her lips. She might not be willing to take her there. Can the food cooked outside be as delicious as Chen Jingle’s?

She's not stupid.

…

By 6pm,

Chen Jingle simply took a shower, took down his hair, put on some pastry clothes, and got ready to go out.

Although you are not going on a blind date, you still need to show the due respect when dining with someone you don't know very well.

This is a matter of politeness.

There's nothing else, except that the little electric donkey's helmet will mess up his newly-made hairstyle.

"Forget it, no one cares."

Chen Jinngle turned the accelerator and jumped out.

He has not eaten at Tangyuan yet. He has heard others say that it is both high-end and dirty, but he has never had the chance to eat there.

I'm lucky today.

I'm a little stuck, I just finished it now, I'm really sorry.
