The growth system comes at the age of 30

Chapter 116 Chen Qiyun's Small Treasury

After finishing the conversation with Zhou Manlin.

Chen Jingle thought about it and sent a message to Li Beixing: "Your friend Zhou Manlin wants to treat me to a meal and wants you to go too. I agreed."

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

Chen Jingle said embarrassedly: "I wanted to find an opportunity to treat you to a meal, but I didn't expect you to treat me first."

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

Compared to restaurants outside, she actually wanted to try the dishes cooked by Chen Jingle more, but she was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

She could not forget the cold beef that Chen Qiyun brought last time. Aunt Wang tried it twice at home, but failed to recreate the same taste. She always felt there was a slight gap.

It was done according to the video steps.

She even suspected that 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 her lip and said, "Although Tang Yuan's dishes taste good, they are probably not as good as those made by top chefs."

Chen Jingle didn't think too much about it: "As long as it's not expensive and tastes bad, I'm fine with it."

He thought Li Beixing was afraid that he didn't like the food in the restaurant outside.

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

The 8-yuan self-service lunch box of two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes is a delicacy, and even dogs won’t eat the 50-yuan bowl of clear soup noodles!

Li Beixing: “…”

It feels like I'm winking at a blind person, pretending she didn't say anything.

In fact, I didn’t think what he cooked was that delicious. Aunt Wang’s was almost the same, and the ingredients she used at home were better.

There's no need to worry about this.

hum~
……

"Friday night at 6:..."

Chen Jingle put away his phone, frowned slightly, and thought: "I will have to adjust my schedule by then."

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

As the saying goes, three days is an invitation, two days is a call, the same day is a pick-up, and the middle of the night is a temporary visit.

Although Chen Jingle doesn't care about these things, it is always good to give a few days' notice so that there is enough time to change the schedule.

It does not affect the daytime classes, the main focus is on extracurricular study time in the evening.

Fortunately, this is not a formal course, so I don’t need to make up for it.

Just be careful about the dinner on the same day and only prepare the portion for Chen Qiyun, or just make more for lunch and heat it up for her for dinner.

Mention Chen Qiyun and Chen Qiyun will appear.

She had just come back from school and walked into the house carrying her small schoolbag. As usual, she threw it on the mahogany sofa and went into the kitchen to see what to have for lunch.

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

"What is this?" Chen Qiyun asked, looking at the clay pot.

Chen Jingle answered casually: "Chicken soup with five-fingered peach."

She knew about the five-fingered ginseng, as her mother had used it to make chicken soup before.

But Chen Qiyun frowned: "Soup~"

In fact, she doesn't like to drink soup, which is not like a Lingnan person.

Her grandparents always said that she didn't grow tall because she didn't drink soup.

But the biology teacher said that the soup actually does not have much nutritional value, and the real nutrition is in the meat.

Chen Jingle didn't care what she thought. He opened the lid of the earthenware jar and prepared to serve the soup. The moment he opened the lid, the aroma of chicken soup with a hint of coconut filled the air.

Chen Qiyun blinked.

Looking 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 dish on the table, and his eyes lit up: "What does this mean?"

"Lohan prawns." Chen Jingle washed his hands, dried them, and prepared to get the dishes and chopsticks.

"Luohan? Why is it called Luohan Prawn?"

"People say the shrimp meat is round, like the belly of an arowana."

Although she didn't quite understand, out of 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 slowly let it cool down before drinking it.

Mmm, it tastes really good!
It tastes much better than the one her mother makes.

It’s obviously the same ginseng and chicken soup, cooked in the same clay pot, but the taste of Chen Jingle’s is a little different.

……

"Brother Le~"

Chen Qiyun suddenly spoke.

"Hmm?" Chen Jingle turned his head slightly.

Chen Qiyun's eyes kept turning: "I eat at your place every day, do you have to spend more money to buy food?"

Chen Jingle paused while eating: "Why? Are you going to give me food money?"

"It's not impossible." Chen Qiyun pursed her lips, her eyes wandering.

Chen Jingle smiled.

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

"Oh?"

Chen Jingle's smile widened: "How rich is very rich?"

Chen Qiyun raised her chin and said, "Let me show you my WeChat wallet!"

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

Chen Jingle took a glance and saw 236.75, with both decimal places and integers.

His eyebrows immediately raised: "Yes, it's a lot. Who gave it to you?"

“I saved it slowly.”

Chen Qiyun was very proud: "When my mom, Sister Xiu, and Grandpa gave me money to buy school supplies, they would always give me more. I saved all of it. I gave the cash to my classmates and asked them to transfer it to me through WeChat. Sometimes they couldn't win the game promotion match, so they asked me to play for them and they would also give me money."

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

Curious, I asked, "How much do you charge them for a promotion match?"

"Five dollars, no money unless you win." Chen Qiyun was very proud.

"Can I play in any rank promotion match?"

"Generally, there are no problems below the King level."

Tsk, his gaming talent is much better than Chen Jingle’s.

He doesn't know how to play either League of Legends or Honor of Kings. In one word, he's a noob!

But it's only over 200 yuan...

Chen Jingle laughed: "Then do you know how much the chicken for soup costs?"

"How many?"

"25 yuan a pound, I bought half a piece, 55 yuan."

Chen Qiyun was originally very proud, but suddenly she froze, her neck shrank, and her eyes widened.

This, this little thing, 55 bucks?!

Chen Jingle was very satisfied with her expression, and pointed to the lobsters next to him and said, "Now is not an important holiday, prawns are cheap, 35 per catty, 70 for two catties. If it is the New Year or other festivals, the price will rise to 80 per catty."

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

So the money she has is only enough for two days?

Oh no, it’s two meals!

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

Chen Jingle sneered, "It's good that you thought of giving me food money. However, although I don't have much ability, I still have money to buy food. Besides, making money to support the family is something that adults should consider, not children. As a student, if you can study well, you will be successful. If you feel bad, just try to grow taller after eating."

Her academic performance was fine and she had been making progress recently, but when it came to growing taller, Chen Qiyun's face suddenly fell.

She also wants to grow, but her body just won't do it. What can she do?
Drinking two bottles of milk a day, eating three meals a day, and jumping rope every day, this is already the limit of what she can do, what else does she want?

Damn, if only I could grow as fast as the big white pigs that eat feed.

Chen Jingle was thinking about another question.

It's not just Chen Qiyun. In fact, most people don't know how expensive fuel and rice are until they manage the household.

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

Generally speaking, for families outside first- and second-tier cities, an average food expense of 1500 yuan per person is already good, which can ensure a good combination of meat and vegetables, as well as fruit after meals.

The premise is reasonable planning.

If we eat seafood, steak, lamb chops, durian and cherries every day, I'm afraid even if we multiply the amount several times, it won't be enough.

For a moment, neither of them spoke, lost in thought.

"Okay, let's eat!"

Chen Jingle tapped Chen Qiyun's head with the tip of his chopsticks to stop the little girl from thinking too much.

It's just an extra pair of chopsticks, no big deal. Two people don't eat much more than when he's alone, they just need to cook one more portion of rice.

Besides, he now has plenty of ways to make money.

I don't have big money, but small money is easy to make. I'm going to have another 60,000 yuan in my account soon. Life is very comfortable.

In comparison, four or five thousand a month for food expenses is nothing.

No need to worry at all!

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

……

For the next few days, Chen Jingle's schedule was packed.

I have done a lot, but it feels like I haven’t done anything.

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

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

Of course, there is nothing wrong with being ordinary.

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

Not every day is so dull.

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

She will also take the two works of Boss Long that she needs help to pass on with her.

Draw very carefully.

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

"Hmm~ It seems like I missed something."

Chen Jingle thought about it, 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'm going out to eat with friends tonight, so I won't be eating at home. I'll save a portion of lunch for you in the evening. Is that okay?"

"Where are you going to eat?" Chen Qiyun asked curiously.

Chen Jingle glanced at her and said, "Why are you asking so many questions? I'm not going to take you with me."

Chen Qiyun pouted. If she was really taken there, she might not be happy to go. Could the food cooked outside be as delicious as that cooked by Chen Jingle?
She's not stupid.

……

At 6 p.m.,
Chen Jingle took a quick shower, combed his hair, changed into some decent clothes, and prepared to go out.

Although I wasn't going on a blind date, I still had to show proper respect when having a meal with someone I wasn't very familiar with.

This is a question of politeness and cultivation.

There's nothing wrong with it except that the helmet on this electric scooter would mess up his newly-made hairstyle.

"Forget it, no one cares."

Chen Jingle stepped on the accelerator and rushed out with a whoosh.

He had never eaten at Tang Garden. He had always heard others say how high-end and luxurious the place was, but he had never had the chance to eat there.

I'm lucky today.

　I'm a bit stuck in my writing and have only just finished writing now. I'm really sorry.
