Chapter 136 I have a friend... (4.6K)

I don’t know if it’s because I consumed too much energy after going out last night, but Chen Jingle felt that he slept more soundly than usual.

It was still a deep sleep, and I was still very energetic, but today felt a little different from usual. After waking up, my mind was very clear.

"What day is it today?"

Oh, it’s already the 5th.

The National Day holiday is coming to an end. We can have one more day of fun today. I guess many people will have to go back to work or school tomorrow.

"I really envy them. Unlike me, I don't have any vacation at all."

Chen Jingle sighed.

Since he got this broken system, his life has become more and more difficult. He sees how happy others are, going out to play during the holidays, but he still has to practice this and that tirelessly.

My life is miserable!
There was no time to sigh. I put on my shoes, got on my electric bike, and went out for a run as usual.

The speed at which the quality of this body improved far exceeded Chen Jingle's imagination.

Now, if he tries his best, he can even run five kilometers in less than 20 minutes.

For non-professional athletes, this is already a very impressive level. In the military, it is considered above average.

Going further up is the professional level.

Considering that he currently does not have the support of professional equipment, perhaps he can continue to improve by changing into professional running shoes and sportswear.

Of course, this is not Chen Jingle’s limit, and it even feels like it’s just the beginning.

He has only been training for a short time, so it is normal that he cannot outrun the professionals.

After training for a while, maybe I can try to reach the national second-level athlete standard.

It will probably become increasingly difficult to improve in the future.

Chen Jingle decided that from now on, he would control the time for the five-kilometer run to within 25 minutes every day, just to help build endurance.

Use the remaining time to do strength-building exercises.

Due to the large amount of daily consumption, my weight has not increased much, but my strength has increased significantly, and now I weigh 55kg.

There is definitely no comparison with the fitness gurus.

But again, Chen Jingle has just started practicing and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

Similarly, my appetite is also increasing rapidly. Now I basically eat five big buns a day, and I guess I will have to eat ten buns a meal in the future.

No wonder they say the poor are good at literature and the rich are good at martial arts.

With such an appetite, who could afford to feed him in ancient times?

A family can be ruined in a matter of minutes!
……

Chen Qiyun came over as usual.

She had finished her homework, so Chen Jingle played a travel video on his tablet for her to watch, which helped her develop her sense of language and provided some entertainment and relaxation.

Otherwise, you will learn dumb English and only know "how are you" and "I'm fine", which is not enough.

Then he went about his own business.

First, take a photo of the detailed lotus and kingfisher painting and send it to Boss Yuan.

He had too many things to do yesterday and forgot about it. Fortunately, the client didn't urge him.

"Mr. Yuan, the detailed lotus and kingfisher you ordered has been painted. Do you think the quality meets your requirements?"

After a long while, Mr. Yuan replied: "Great painting! This is the level I want! Thank you, Master Chen!"

It is no exaggeration to say that the quality far exceeded his expectations.

He originally thought that if he was cheated, he would just consider it as paying for a lesson, but he never expected that Chen Jingle gave him a big surprise.

With this level of finished product, as long as the real thing is the same as the photo, you will make a lot of money.

Definitely not inferior to various famous artists!

Chen Jingle breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the affirmative reply: "Of course, as long as you like it. In that case, I'll go to the express delivery station this afternoon and try to deliver it to you as soon as possible."

The other party immediately transferred the remaining 6000 yuan and said, "Can you send it by express delivery the next day? I can't wait any longer."

"Ok, no problem!"

Naturally, there was no reason for Chen Jingle to refuse.

Customers’ requirements are above all else!
Besides, he originally wanted to deliver it to the other party as quickly as possible. The longer he delayed on the road, the more likely an accident would happen.

In order to avoid any further complications, it is better to end the transaction early.

Mr. Yuan had no requirements for the signature, so Chen Jingle just wrote the time and name normally, without specifying that it was a gift to Mr. Yuan.

If someone wants to give it to someone else one day, it would be inconvenient to have a specific name.

Mr. Yuan sent the address and contact number, and Chen Jingle took a look at it——

Wow, living near Chaoyang Park, next to the Fourth Ring Road, the housing price is about 10 yuan per square meter.

With his current wealth, he doesn’t even know if he can buy someone a small room.

"No wonder he was willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars to find someone online to paint a picture for him. This is the real Jing Ye!"

envy!

Chen Jingle immediately packed up the works, wrapped them tightly, gave Chen Qiyun a few words of advice, and rode his electric scooter to go to the express delivery station.

I'm not sure about other places, but there's a favorable wind here in Jiangbei, so if you want to ship by air, you have to send it in the morning so that it can arrive the next day.

You must insure it. It’s better to be safe than sorry.

Chen Jingle recorded the entire process with video. Only after making sure the package was sealed did he send the express note to Mr. Yuan and ask him to sign for it.

"If this transaction is successful, online sales will gradually increase in the future."

Chen Jingle was looking forward to it.

……

After sending the express delivery, Chen Jingle immediately posted the photo of his newly created work on Douyin.

This was agreed by our client, Mr. Yuan.

He also noted that it was a user on Douyin who found his customized work.

I really didn't have any good ideas about how to create an account, so I just followed what others told me and posted it.

Even if it's a pile of shit, maybe someone would like to watch it.

Post first, then slowly change the style.

You know what, relying on the few works he released before, the high-quality calligraphy and painting creations that are visible to the naked eye, and his investment in Douyin, Chen Jingle has actually gained nearly 500 followers.

Quite good!

Among these people, perhaps there are his potential customers.

"If a few more bosses come and each of them write a piece of calligraphy or painting, I can buy the car I like sooner and achieve financial freedom at the same time!"

It's wonderful to think about it.

He immediately became inspired and wrote a few more calligraphy practice pieces, all of which were about "Goodness is like water" and "God rewards those who work hard" and "Harmony brings wealth" etc.

The main focus is on the middle-aged wealthy class!
At this time, Chen Qiyun ran over and said, "Brother Le, it's time to cook."

Chen Jingle, whose sweet dream was interrupted, looked at the time and said unhappily, "It's only 11 o'clock, why are you rushing me? You have to eat."

Chen Qiyun pouted, not daring to get angry, and could only ask: "What are we having for lunch?"

"Big plate of chicken."

I didn’t get to eat the big plate chicken at that Western restaurant yesterday, so I have to make sure to have it today.

"Where is this dish from?" Chen Qiyun was curious.

"Western Region!"

"Is it tasty?"

“It’s not bad.”

Chen Jingle said lazily: "The representative dishes of the Western Regions are like white-cut chicken, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, pot-wrapped pork, and West Lake vinegar fish."

After hearing what he said, Chen Qiyun suddenly became more expectant.

Oh wait!
What the hell is West Lake Vinegar Fish? Isn’t it said that West Lake Vinegar Fish is not delicious?

Chen Jingle didn't waste any time and went into the kitchen to start working.

In fact, this dish is not a traditional specialty, but a local dish that originated in highway restaurants in the Western Regions in the 80s. It has a history of less than 50 years.

Fortunately, the taste is not bad.

The smooth and spicy chicken and the soft, sweet potatoes are spicy and fragrant, rough and delicate. Even ordinary people with average cooking skills will not find it unpalatable if they follow the tutorial.

Chicken and potatoes are both very versatile ingredients.

Chen Jingle's recipe is a family one, and there aren't many particulars. If it's the authentic Western Region Dapanji, they won't use Sanhuang chicken, but the local Shawan firewood chicken.

The taste and texture of free-range three-yellow chicken are not bad either.

In addition, the big plate chicken needs to be served with belt noodles, as a combination of main and side dishes.

It’s not difficult to make belt noodles. Just make it while the big plate chicken is stewing.

It’s simple, I just practice!

Considering that neither of them can eat spicy food, we use less chili pepper, just to enhance the flavor.

……

After the dishes are served.

Chen Qiyun took only one bite and revealed a happy expression: "Ah, I haven't eaten such delicious food for a long time." Chen Jingle glanced at her: "??? Are you confused? Didn't you not eat it yesterday?"

"Don't you know the idiom 'Days pass by like years'?" Chen Qiyun raised the corner of her mouth, took a mouthful of noodles, and then picked up the meat in big bites.

I feel sad when I think about missing two meals because I went to pick oranges yesterday.

I must eat more today and eat it back!
Chen Jingle snorted and sneered: "I also know an idiom called shameless."

Chen Qiyun's face flushed immediately: "How can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air!"

"I don't think I'm wrong. Now, if you dare to talk back to me again, I'll make you skip dinner and you'll have to watch me eat."

Chen Jingle threatened in a despicable manner.

Chen Qiyun looked at him in shock, unable to imagine that beneath such a handsome face, there was such a vicious heart!
hateful! !
There's no way around it. When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Just bear with him for now.

Just eat your meal.

"Hehe, wait until I grow up, and then you'll know!"

She secretly swore that when she came of age, she would launch a counterattack.

By then, he would take back everything that belonged to him and suppress the hateful Chen Jingle into the abyss.

Who could stop her when she saw it?

Jie Jie Jie Jie!

……

the other side.

Li Beixing accompanied Jiang Zhiqin for a walk today.

In fact, he was conscripted into the army.

She didn't want to go out, but her mother said that she couldn't stay at home all the time because it was bad for her health and she should go out more often to breathe fresh air.

"Our community is at the foot of the mountain, and there are foothills behind us. Isn't the air fresh enough?"

Li Beixing was puzzled.

But there was no other way, my mother was determined, so I had to accompany her to the park for a walk.

The Gougongzhang Park near her home is right next to the community. It was built in recent years. It is surrounded by mountains and water, and its area and design are superior to the rebuilt People's Park.

In addition to green plants, there are also various brightly colored flowers. People from the northern part of the city and even the entire Jiangbei area like to come here to play, check in and take photos.

Especially in mid-to-late November every year, the kapok trees in the park bloom, and everything is pink, which is extremely romantic.

It's not time yet, but it will be soon.

Today is a holiday and there are many people in the park.

The mother and daughter walked slowly hand in hand.

There were a lot of people gathered in the square in front. When I got closer, I saw that someone was writing on the ground.

Writing on the ground is to take a big brush, dip it in water and write on the ground. It looks very impressive to laymen, but in the eyes of experts, it is not recommended for calligraphy lovers to do this.

"How's the writing going?" Jiang Zhiqin asked her daughter quietly.

Li Beixing nodded: "Not bad."

At least it looks like the real thing on the ground, and its structure and brushwork are pretty good among ordinary calligraphy enthusiasts.

"You are such a boastful little girl. Have you ever learned calligraphy?"

An uncle nearby heard it and burst out laughing.

Li Beixing was a little embarrassed and waved his hands quickly: "I was just talking nonsense, don't mind it."

The uncle had no ill intentions, but encouraged, "Don't be modest, if you can do it, go up and show it off. Old men and children have seen people writing this, but girls have never seen it."

Li Beixing had no choice but to say, "I have never learned the Book of Earth."

Those who write on the ground often write Yan and Liu. Yan has tendons and Liu has bones.

There are also those who write in the styles of Er Wang Mi Su, etc., but most of them are various kinds of street calligraphy that are looked down upon.

Li Beixing does not have too much prejudice against the Jianghu calligraphy style. After all, not everyone has a famous teacher to guide them. Taking the Exorcism Sword Technique in "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" as an example, although people know that they have to cut off their hair before practicing it, many people still go for it without hesitation, even Master Yue could not resist the temptation.

Because there are very few people in this world who can receive the true teachings.

The vast majority of ordinary people don’t even have the qualifications to get started.

So, can we blame them for practicing incorrectly?

In principle, it is not recommended to write on the ground when learning calligraphy.

Because no matter how much you write on the ground, it is different from writing with a pen on paper, and you lack the normal understanding of the nature of the pen.

This results in that during the writing process, you are unable to truly feel the harmonious relationship between the conventional pen, ink, paper and inkstone. When you go back to write on paper, you cannot write anything, which is basically a waste of time.

Although Dishu has enlarged the font, which is helpful for practicing the stroke structure, the problem is also obvious. There is no good grasp of the feedback of the pen movement, strokes, and force between the pen and ink.

Therefore, Li Beixing does not recommend people who want to learn calligraphy well to practice ground writing.

Of course, we cannot say that the Book of Earth is completely useless.

At least it is good in terms of viewing experience, and it is very helpful in promoting calligraphy and attracting the interest of passers-by.

As for the rest, Li Beixing really didn't want to argue with others.

The argument is that others are right, and she actually knows nothing.

……

I thought the uncle would let her go, but he said, "Look, there's someone writing on paper and ink over there. If you don't know how to write, you can go over there and try."

Li Beixing was feeling awkward, so Jiang Zhiqin smiled and said, "It's okay, don't think too much. We are here to have fun. If we can write, just write whatever we want."

Since her mother said so, she thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Just write casually, don’t feel any psychological burden, it’s not an exam.

There were much fewer people on the paper and ink side. It was not as eye-catching as the ground book. Including the onlookers, there were only five or six people.

Li Beixing asked someone and was confirmed that he could write anything, so he borrowed a pen, ink and paper from an old man and wrote a poem "Huan Xi Sha: To Mr. Liu Yazi".

It is the National Day, which is perfect for the occasion.

The uncle who had been following her was surprised after seeing her calligraphy. He said, "Your handwriting is really good! Who did you learn it from?"

"A retired professor from South China Normal University." Li Beixing smiled slightly.

"No wonder!"

Others also praised it.

Everyone here is basically just an enthusiast, at best at the market exhibition level.

Li Beixing has achieved such accomplishments at such a young age, so he can naturally be considered amazing.

Jiang Zhiqin smiled brightly as she listened to everyone's praise.

Who doesn’t like to hear others praise their children?
Li Beixing whispered to Jiang Zhiqin, "Actually, my writing is pretty bad, at best it's at the market level, but they think it's good."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhiqin replied with a smile: "I think it's good too."

"Mom~!"

Li Beixing suddenly pouted.

This is a bit self-boasting and makes me blush.

"It's obvious that I write very well. It's enough to write better than most people. There's no need to be the first or second. It's important for people to know themselves."

Jiang Zhiqin stroked her daughter's hair and spoke softly.

Li Beixing held her mother's arm and said with a smile, "I have a friend who writes much better than me."

"Oh? How powerful is it?" Jiang Zhiqin was curious.

"The calligraphy hanging in my father's office was written by him. He also wrote one for Uncle Liu Deqiang."

Li Beixing thought for a moment and said, "Well, he is self-taught, but after my teacher looked at his work, he said it is at least at the provincial level, and he may even have a chance at a national exhibition. And he is improving so fast that you can see his work is better than before after a while. It's really exaggerated!"

“That’s really impressive.”

“Not only that, he also has a great talent for drawing.”

Jiang Zhiqin was even more surprised: "You can also draw?"

"Yes, Uncle Liu bought it from him and also introduced his friends to buy it from him." Li Beixing did not mention anything about his own portrait.

"This is probably what others call a genius."

Jiang Zhiqin nodded slightly, remembering something: "More than a decade ago, there was a student in Jiangbei who was very good at studying and was selected into the gifted youth class. People like this are all blessed by God, so we can't envy them. We ordinary people just need to do our best."

"Mom, I know."

"Oh, you think I'm being long-winded, don't you?"

"No!"

"..."

The mother and daughter said goodbye to the group of calligraphy enthusiasts and continued strolling.

"Hey, Sister Qin?!"

Suddenly someone called them.

Looking back, they saw a fat middle-aged woman dressed in jewels and precious stones "rushing" towards them in surprise.

Li Beixing's eyelids twitched when he saw this.
