Chapter 171: Of course you have to eat enough when you eat at a buffet! (4.2K)

"Wow, wow, wow, Chen Qiyun, don't sleep anymore! It's time to get up and go to class!"

Chen Jingle patted Chen Qiyun's face and woke her up.

Attend class?

What class?

Chen Qiyun opened her eyes in a daze, and reacted the next second, jumping up and down.

He blurted out: "What time is it now?"

"It's just after two in the afternoon." Chen Jingle said with a smile. He had just woken up as well.

After singing Chen Qiyun to sleep at noon, he closed the door and went upstairs to sleep, leaving a small note.

Who would have thought that when I woke up, Chen Qiyun was still sleeping soundly downstairs.

If he hadn't come down to help wake me up, I would probably have slept until five in the afternoon.

"so far so good."

Chen Qiyun breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't understand why. She scratched her head and asked, "Why did I fall asleep?"

Chen Jingle waved his hand: "Okay, hurry up and pick up your schoolbag and go to class. Remember to go back and tell your grandparents first. You will definitely be scolded if you don't go home for lunch."

Oops!

Chen Qiyun then realized what was wrong, her face changed, she grabbed her schoolbag and ran. She was still groggy from just waking up, her body was out of coordination, and she almost bumped into the door frame.

This guy is reckless.

Chen Jingle burst out laughing.

Fortunately, No. 8 Middle School is not far from home, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk there, so there is no need to rush.

But if I'm a few minutes late, I'll have to consider driving her.

After Chen Qiyun left, he fell into deep thought: "The effect of this lullaby is a bit exaggerated. I have to use it with caution in the future."

However, the effect of coaxing people to sleep is really first-class. Maybe in the future I can open a health care center specializing in the treatment of insomnia.

……

Continue practicing singing in the afternoon.

The next task is to become as familiar with the songs of each singer as possible.

There are many beautiful songs that Chen Jingle couldn’t sing before, but now that his level has improved, he naturally wants to sing them to his heart’s content.

Singing is much easier to vent emotions than simply listening to music. No wonder many people go to the KTV room and yell when they are in a bad mood.

Chen Jingle opened the karaoke app and sang the song he was interested in.

As long as it is not a difficult song, he can basically sing it after listening to it once or twice and singing it once or twice. This gives Chen Jingle a lot of confidence when he goes to sing KTV with Li Beixing and the others in a few days.

As for the difficult ones, like Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Love Until Death, and Moonlight, you can just choose to skip them.

One is that there is no need to embarrass yourself.

"It's not like I'm going to participate in a music variety show or a talent show to debut, so it's fine."

Just the level of an ordinary music student is already better than that of many online singers.

Another reason is that he doesn't like to shout at home. This isn't a professional recording studio, so the soundproofing is limited. Who knows what the neighbors will say about him if they hear him.

Even though he skipped many songs he didn't want to sing, Chen Jingle's song list library is still so vast that he has made several song list collection categories, including but not limited to children's songs, folk songs, pop songs, Chinese style songs, folk songs, rock songs, dialects, English and Japanese, etc.

All inclusive!

Just relying on such a huge reserve of songs, if you change the content of Douyin updates to singing videos, and sing a different song every day, and persist for a period of time, you can become a good cover singer.

Many internet celebrities and even original singers became famous in the early days by singing covers.

……

When Chen Zhenlin got home from get off work in the evening, he found out that his eldest nephew had actually bought an Audi A4L.

Be obedient, this is incredible.

Based on his understanding of Chen Jingle, he rarely spends ahead of time, and the fact that he can spend so much money on a car means that he does have some spare money.

A few days ago, I saw an Audi parked in the yard of my eldest brother's house. At first, I thought it was one of Chen Jingle's friends who came to play, so I asked Chen Qiyun who had been at Chen Jingle's house recently and which friend of his the car belonged to.

As a result, Chen Qiyun actually said that it was Chen Jingle's own car.

Suddenly surprised.

"Buying a car is such a big deal, and he didn't tell anyone?"

And it was an Audi!

At the same time, I feel a little envious.

He still drives an old classic Sylphy. Although it is sufficient for family transportation, it is far inferior to the BBA luxury cars.

Chen Zhenlin frowned, fell silent, and finally felt relieved.

This is indeed in line with Chen Jingle's character. He is quiet and would often come over to chat before, but ever since he had an argument with the old man last time, he rarely comes over on his own initiative.

Chen Zhenlin shook his head secretly.

For this purpose, he made a special trip to Chen Jingle's house.

Chen Jingle was watering the flowers at this time. When he saw him, he immediately stopped watering and greeted him: "Second Uncle~"

Chen Zhenlin hummed, walked into the yard, looked at the A4L in the parking space, and said with a sigh: "If I hadn't asked Chen Qiyun, I wouldn't have known that you actually bought a car."

"I took out a loan. I thought it would be more convenient to have a car to go to places far away." Chen Jingle answered with a smile.

Hearing that it was a loan, Chen Zhenlin nodded: "Having a car is convenient. How much is the price? How much is the down payment?"

Chen Jingle opened his mouth and said: "A little over 28.6, and I paid 15 for the down payment. My friend has some connections with the owner of the 4S store, so he got a lot of discounts."

"It's OK as long as you don't feel the pressure of repaying the loan." Chen Zhenlin said nothing.

Chen Jingle nodded: "That friend helped introduce a few orders, and there is some follow-up income. Plus I still have some savings, so it should be no problem to pay it off."

Chen Zhenlin walked around the car, said "very good", and left.

Chen Jingle was a little confused about what he meant.

Actually, it was nothing. Chen Zhenlin just came here to confirm it. At the same time, he felt in his heart that his eldest brother's children were becoming more and more promising.

This is a good thing.

He didn't understand before, thinking that Chen Jingle was too young and ignorant, and would regret it sooner or later. Now it seems that the old man's idea is indeed wrong.

Now is the era of young people. It is different from the past. We can no longer think about problems with the old way of thinking.

Let young people solve their own problems.

At least judging from the results, Chen Jingle is indeed more capable of solving problems, unlike their elders who can only raise questions.

Besides, since Chen Jingle doesn’t want to publicize the purchase of the car, let him do it.

Chen Zhenlin came and left in a hurry, leaving Chen Jingle confused. Finally, he shook his head, watered the flowers and fed the cat, and went upstairs to take a shower.

……

The time came to Saturday.

Under Chen Qiyun's persistence, Chen Jingle finally made some extra food at noon and left it for her in the afternoon, allowing her to microwave it herself.

He had to save his stomach for a five-star buffet.

At 4:55, at the entrance of the Red Rose Hotel buffet restaurant, two beautiful women stood on the steps, attracting the attention of many passers-by.

Zhou Manlin, who was wearing an off-white sleeveless off-shoulder dress and high heels, had a queen-like aura and said boredly, "If you ask me, there's no need to come so early. If you come too early, the dishes won't be served yet, and there's nothing to eat at all."

Li Beixing, who was wearing a light blue dress and had a gentle temperament, smiled and said, "There is no rule that you must eat within a certain time. Just eat slowly."

Zhou Manlin curled her lips, knowing that she said this just to appease Chen Jingle.

I really have no words to complain about my friends' self-serving behavior.

At this time, Li Beixing saw a black Audi with the license plate A4L45 appear and said quickly, "Here it comes."

Zhou Manlin followed her gaze and was immediately surprised: "Did Chen Jingle buy a car?"

Li Beixing nodded subconsciously: "Yeah, I just mentioned it a few days ago."

Zhou Manlin looked at him strangely: "How do you know? Don't tell me you accompanied him to buy it."

You know, Li Beixing's car is also an Audi, which really makes people make associations.

Li Beixing's ears turned red: "Is it not possible?" Zhou Manlin's eyes widened, unable to understand: "No, I said you accompanied him to buy a car, but you still need me to give you courage to sing K with him?!"

Li Beixing quietly defended: "Buying a car is a serious matter, it's different."

Zhou Manlin rolled her eyes: "Is singing karaoke something improper?"

"..."

Li Beixing didn't know how to describe it and was speechless for a moment.

Seeing Chen Jingle getting out of the car, Zhou Manlin raised her eyebrows and said, "I think the black Audi is quite handsome."

Suddenly I feel a little disgusted with my own BMW 330.

After getting off the car, Chen Jingle saw two beauties standing at the door of the restaurant. He quickly walked over and smiled apologetically: "Sorry, I'm late."

I feel helpless inside.

In all the times I have had dinner with Li Beixing, few people have arrived earlier than her, including Zhou Manlin.

The habit of these two people arriving early is really surprising.

Li Beixing smiled slightly: "I'm not late. We agreed to meet at 5 o'clock. If you go in too early, the dishes won't be served yet. You can wait."

Zhou Manlin: “???” You were saying the same words I just said!

I really want to complain, but in the end I held back and didn't expose her. It looks like there's no hope for her, so let her do whatever she wants.

Now that everyone is here, let's go inside.

……

As Chen Jingle wished, he treated everyone today.

The price of 198 per person is not expensive compared to the restaurants in five-star hotels, and can even be considered cheap. You should know that this restaurant specializes in seafood buffet.

After all, Jiangbei is a coastal city, and seafood is much cheaper than inland provinces. Salmon, small blue dragon, large oysters, abalone, shrimp, crab, etc., except for some special dishes, are all available in unlimited quantities.

This was Chen Jingle’s first time here, and he subconsciously looked around at the design and layout, feeling it was novel.

Zhou Manlin caught a glimpse of his expression and asked in surprise, "You've never been here?"

Chen Jingle smiled and nodded: "Yes, it is indeed my first time here. I seldom eat buffets. The last time I ate buffet was when I was in college. It was also the only time I ate buffet barbecue with my classmates. Not to mention this kind of high-end five-star buffet restaurant."

Zhou Manlin didn't respond and fell into deep thought, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Li Beixing was curious: "So what do you usually eat when you eat out?"

Chen Jing laughed happily: "If I'm alone, I'll just have fast food, such as pork trotter rice, roast meat combo, braised duck, braised goose, hand-shredded chicken, etc. If I'm with friends, we can go to wherever is delicious, whether it's a food stall or a restaurant."

He didn't think there was anything wrong with eating these, and he didn't feel ashamed. He wasn't from a rich family.

A bowl of pork trotter rice brings out a man’s romance!

"So economical?" Zhou Manlin was surprised.

Chen Jingle spread his hands and said, "Do you think I want to save money? I really don't have any money! I was so poor when I was studying. I only had 800 yuan a month for food. I wanted to split one yuan into two. Things got a little better after I graduated."

Zhou Manlin was stunned: "800 yuan? It's indeed a little less."

When she was in college, her parents gave her 5000 yuan a month, but it was sometimes not enough.

Chen Jingle shook his head. "The poor have their own way of living. But it's all in the past. After I started working, I set a food standard of 1500 for myself, and I dared to order a large portion of pork knuckle rice. Now, I basically cook at home and make whatever I want to eat. There is no fixed amount I can spend every day."

Li Beixing had tasted Chen Jingle's cooking and knew how delicious his meals were, so he naturally understood why he cooked for himself every day instead of eating out.

Fortunately, Chen Jingle had told her before that he was not picky about food and that he only cared as long as the quality of the food was worth the price.

That's why she chose this buffet restaurant.

Zhou Manlin just couldn’t understand why someone would cook three meals a day by themselves. If it was to reduce the cost of living, it would be understandable, but the problem is that you, Chen Jingle, drive an Audi.

She felt so tired when she cooked once or twice that she just wanted to open her mouth and wait for food.

Do you really like cooking so much?
……

Today is Saturday and there are quite a lot of people coming to the buffet. As soon as the front line came in, people behind them started to line up.

At this time, many dishes have been served.

The three of them started to get their food.

"Would you like to eat salmon?" Zhou Manlin asked, holding a tongs.

Chen Jingle shook his head: "No, I don't want to eat raw food."

"Okay!"

Chen Jingle’s principle is to only eat the right food and not the expensive food.

After eating a series of dishes, I found the lobster to be average, which was a bit of a pity; the steak and lamb chops tasted okay.

As for Japanese food, Chen Jingle didn't even look at it, as they were all frozen goods.

You can simply try desserts and fruits and have a drink.

Zhou Manlin was a little dazed as she watched Chen Jingle eat so much.

"Why are you looking at me? Aren't you going to eat?" Chen Jingle was surprised.

She shook her head: "I'm full."

"..." Chen Jingle inexplicably thought of a word, bird stomach.

It feels like the per capita price of 198 has caused Zhou Manlin to lose at least 190.

Li Beixing smiled and slowly picked up a piece of steak.

Zhou Manlin couldn't help but ask, "You're not really planning to make back your money, are you?"

"It should be possible." Chen Jingle thought about it.

Of course you have to eat enough when you eat at a buffet, otherwise you will feel like you are losing out.

Zhou Manlin gave a thumbs up: "Great! I feel like you've eaten a lot more than the last time we ate together. But don't eat too much, or you'll feel uncomfortable singing later."

"It's okay, I know my limits." Chen Jingle nodded, "I've been exercising a lot more recently, so I've consumed more energy, so naturally I've eaten more."

"Oh?" Zhou Manlin immediately became interested. "How much exercise do you do?"

Chen Jingle swallowed the food in his mouth slowly and said, "It's just five kilometers every morning plus 300 push-ups, 300 squats and 100 pull-ups."

Zhou Manlin was stunned. This amount of exercise was a bit beyond her imagination.

Is it so powerful?

Can't tell at all.

wrong!

Judging from the arm lines, they are much stronger and more muscular than before.

Tsk tsk tsk!
She narrowed her eyes, looked at Li Beixing, and the corners of her mouth subconsciously rose slightly.

"What are you looking at me for?"

"You look good!"

“Nervous~!”

Li Beixing rolled his eyes silently.

As old friends for many years, Zhou Manlin knew what the other person was thinking just by looking at him.

You must be thinking about something impure again!
……

Chen Jingle ate slowly and contentedly until half past six.

Li Beixing and Zhou Manlin were already somewhat numb, feeling that the guy in front of them was like a monster in human skin, or a human-shaped glutton.

It's so delicious!

It was so exaggerated that even the guests at the next table couldn't help but look at him in surprise.

Yet he looked as if he was at ease.

Outrageous!

"Let's go sing!"

Zhou Manlin held Li Beixing's little hand and shook it.

Chen Jingle took a tissue and followed the two slowly.
