Supermarket food section.

Chen Jingle pushed the cart and took whatever he saw that was suitable.

Chen Jingle prepared to buy everything from hot pot base to frozen produce to fresh vegetables. Not only was he going to buy food for today's hot pot, but his refrigerator was big enough to stock up on some more food.

He really doesn't like going out to buy groceries on rainy days.

As he was picking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure. Chen Jingle was stunned at first, then quickly shouted, "Liang Cheng!"

Liang Cheng turned around with a look of surprise on his face: "Damn, what a coincidence!"

Chen Jingle walked over to him and bumped fists with him, then asked, "Why are you here shopping in the supermarket?"

Liang Cheng's home is in the north of the city, where there are also large supermarkets.

Hearing this, Liang Cheng suddenly looked helpless: "Do you want to see where I work? It's just across the street."

"Are you still going to work today?" Chen Jingle was stunned.

Even someone like him who has no concept of dates knows that today is Saturday.

Liang Cheng spread his hands and said, "Voluntary overtime, no salary, hehe."

Chen Jing scratched his head and was speechless.

It seems that this iron rice bowl is not so easy to keep.

Liang Cheng looked down and saw that his shopping cart was almost full. He was immediately curious: "What are you buying? Why are you buying so much?"

Chen Jingle said: "The hot pot base and ingredients are cold and wet today, and I thought that I haven't eaten hot pot for a long time, so I might as well eat hot pot at home. I don't have enough ingredients, so I went out to buy some."

“You buy so much by yourself?”

"Well, not alone, but with my family, for three people. I have a bigger appetite recently, so I bought more."

Liang Cheng suddenly realized: "It's good to eat with your family. I was thinking that if you eat alone at home, I will go to eat with you later. If you eat with your family, I won't bother you. But you reminded me that this kind of weather is indeed suitable for hot pot or hot pot. I will also buy some hot pot base and meatballs to take home. Even if I don't eat it today, I can eat it in two days."

Chen Jingle nodded: "Yes, we have some at home. We can eat whenever we want. We don't have to run out to buy food. In today's horrible weather, I didn't want to go out to buy food, but I was short of ingredients, so I had to go. Four wheels can indeed protect us from wind and rain, but parking is inconvenient. We might as well just buy more and put them in the refrigerator. As long as they don't go bad, it's fine."

Liang Cheng nodded in agreement: "That's the truth. Have you chosen them all?"

Chen Jingle rummaged through the things in the cart: "There are still some missing. Let's see if there is anything suitable. If not, I will go and pay for it."

Before I knew it, I seem to have picked a lot of things, but this should be enough.

"Okay, let's go around again. I'll buy some as you do. If it's not urgent, help me take a look." Liang Cheng copied the homework decisively.

After all, you can never go wrong if you follow the chef to buy food.

Although he didn't buy low-quality food, the quality of some meats is not easy for ordinary people to distinguish with the naked eye. In other words, ordinary people certainly don't know which meat is suitable for which cooking method as well as professional chefs.

Although Chen Jingle is not a professional chef, in Liang Cheng's opinion, he is more authoritative than the chefs in restaurants and hotels outside.

"no problem."

Chen Jingle agreed to this small matter decisively.

……

So, the two househusbands, each pushing a small cart, went shopping in the supermarket.

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Xiao Mingyue for a while. How has she been lately?"

Chen Jingle asked.

Liang Cheng said: "Fortunately, apart from a slight fever a few days ago and a trip to the emergency room in the middle of the night, there is nothing else wrong."

"Ah? Is it okay now?" Chen Jingle was surprised.

Liang Cheng nodded: "Yes, after a day of intravenous drip, it's healed now."

"Children have weaker resistance, so they really need to be more careful. Even adults can't stand this kind of weird weather with a huge temperature difference." Chen Jingle sighed.

In the past, he would feel more or less uncomfortable every time the seasons changed, including but not limited to colds, respiratory infections, etc.

The weather in Lingnan is really outrageous. The four seasons here are not distinct, but you can feel the changes of four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter in one day.

No wonder people in ancient times were often exiled to Lingnan.

Only the natives who have lived here since childhood can adapt a little. There are not many people who come from other provinces to work or settle down and can truly adapt to the climate of Lingnan.

When I first came here, I basically had all kinds of problems like getting inflamed, acne breakouts, worsening skin condition, increasing moisture, etc. These are all very common.

Some people even complain that if you live in Lingnan for a long time, you will become ugly.

Let me clarify, this is not a rumor, it is a fact!

The water and soil in Lingnan are far less nourishing than those in Jiangnan, Huguang, Sichuan and Chongqing.

So much so that in the eyes of people in some provinces, people from Lingnan look like ancient apes who have not fully evolved.

It's not that exaggerated. There are many beautiful women and handsome men in Lingnan region. With its huge population base, it should be easier for it to produce handsome men and beautiful women than in other provinces.

Don't be too stereotypical.

"Yes. I've been feeling a bit off at work these past few days. The change of seasons just makes me feel uncomfortable."

Liang Cheng sighed, paused, and teased: "If you like children so much, why don't you find a way to have one yourself."

Chen Jingle burst out laughing.

He does like his daughter more, probably because he was misled by those "tricking you into having a daughter" series on the Internet and feels that daughters are much more obedient than sons.

But it doesn’t matter whether you have a boy or a girl, the key lies in education.

Besides, this matter is not up to him alone. It requires the joint efforts of both parties, and the woman’s wishes are more important.

Well, it’s a bit far-fetched to talk about this now. They only successfully progressed to the Bobo stage yesterday.

Liang Cheng suddenly asked: "Have you been in touch with Zhong Qing recently?"

Chen Jingle was silent for two seconds. "Sometimes, but not what you think. We discuss more academic issues. She is now at the last minute of her postgraduate entrance examination and has almost made all the necessary preparations. I sincerely hope that she can pass the examination and get into the school of her choice."

He had mentioned this to Li Beixing to avoid confusion later.

Putting himself in her shoes, he also didn't want a junior to pop up and chat with Li Beixing frequently under the guise of discussing academic matters with her.

Even if Li Beixing is not interested in the other party.

A sense of boundaries is very important, and you can only maintain it by yourself. As long as you don't give others opportunities, they will not have any opportunities.

"What do you think?" Liang Cheng asked.

Chen Jingle thought for two seconds: "To be honest, it's impossible for Zhong Qing and I to be together. She is a good girl, but she is not my type. I can't say that just because she is young, beautiful and well-educated, I will agree to be with her. That will only delay her."

He could feel that Zhong Qing liked him, but he liked mature women more than sweet girls.

The reason is that simple.

The queen is not about age, but a style.

Some people are still like giant babies at their old age, while some people are not even 18 years old, but are rational, calm, logical, mature in thinking and elegant in manners.

This is the difference.

Whether in life or work, Yu Jie always gives people the feeling that she is at ease, calm and confident, and everything is under control.

This kind of temperament cannot be imitated just by dressing up.

Even if you can imitate, you can only imitate the superficial aspects, and the inherent style is difficult to change.

Chen Jingle is already 30 years old. At his age, he deeply feels how rare it is to have a person who is mature in thought and able to think independently.

It is exhausting to communicate with people who are illogical and unreasonable. On the contrary, it is much easier and more comfortable.

Appearance is often not that important, as long as you are not ugly. When chatting, the inner qualities shown by the other person will really overshadow the appearance.

Besides, if you like it, you like it, and if you don’t like it, you don’t like it.

You can't say you don't like her, but you still treat her as a backup, looking for another job while she's still a donkey, or raising fish in a fish pond.

Even if this behavior is not against the law, he cannot get over it morally. His character does not allow him to do such a thing as having two girlfriends at the same time.

Now that you already have Li Beixing, you should keep your distance from other opposite sex to avoid misunderstandings.

I don’t want to hurt Li Beixing and destroy this hard-earned relationship.

Liang Cheng waved his hand: "It's no use for you to tell me this, you have to tell her."

Although he wanted to bring Chen Jingle and Zhong Qing together and hoped that they could be together, he did not force Chen Jingle to like Zhong Qing, because liking something is very subjective, and he just doesn't like some people, no matter how beautiful they are.

What can be done?
So respect the other party's wishes.

Chen Jingle nodded: "Let's wait until she finishes her exams at the end of December."

He is not so crazy as to say such things to people and mess with their mentality just before their exam.

What I said just now that I sincerely hope Zhong Qing can pass the postgraduate entrance examination was not just a polite remark. After all, he has been helping Zhong Qing review and improve her scores on the real test papers during this period of time. If she really passes the exam, it will be his contribution.

Therefore, the relationship between him and Zhong Qing is more like that between a teacher and a student, without too much emotion between men and women.

I believe Zhong Qing also understands that she has little chance, but everyone is temporarily focusing their energy on overcoming the main contradiction of the postgraduate entrance examination and has not yet broken through this layer of paper.

Liang Cheng patted Chen Jingle on the shoulder without saying anything more.

It's a pity for sure.

After all, he had always been optimistic about Chen Jingle, and sure enough, in less than two months, he had been completely transformed.

I’m afraid there are a lot of people chasing after Chen Jingle now.

If it doesn’t work out, then it doesn’t work out. It’s not a big deal. It doesn’t affect his relationship with Chen Jingle.

It's better than dating and then breaking up after finding out that it's not suitable, which is more embarrassing.

……

Chen Jingle returned home after shopping.

When the car stopped in the yard, Li Beixing and Chen Qiyun immediately ran out with smiles on their faces and helped carry things.

"Buy so much?!" Li Beixing was surprised.

Chen Jingle nodded: "Well, except for the part for today's hot pot, put the rest that you won't need for the time being in the refrigerator. The weather forecast says it will rain in the next two days, so I don't really want to go out to buy groceries."

"Well, that's fine." Li Beixing expressed his understanding.

First, select the ingredients you want to prepare for hot pot.

Then wash the pot and vegetables.

Chen Jingle was definitely in charge of the stove, and no one competed with him for it. Li Beixing and Chen Qiyun helped to wash and select vegetables. The three of them were having fun and having a great time.

If Chen Qiyun were a few years younger, they would look more like a family of three.

Thinking of this, Chen Jingle couldn't help but laugh.

Li Beixing next to him seemed to have sensed something, looked up at him, and asked curiously: "What did you think of that made you laugh so happily?"

Chen Jingle glanced at her and grinned, "Nothing."

"Nothing? Humph, there must be something wrong! Tell me!" Li Beixing narrowed his eyes slightly. It felt like he was thinking about something bad.

"You really want me to tell you?"

"Cut the nonsense!"

"Then come closer."

Chen Jingle leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I was wondering, if I have a daughter in the future, will she look more like you or me?"

When Li Beixing heard this, her pretty face turned red instantly and she quickly lowered her head.

Who, who wants to have a baby with you? I didn’t agree to it!

Chen Jingle smiled complacently.

See, you asked it yourself. Now if I tell you the truth, you won't say anything.

……

The hot pot soup base is very important. It affects the taste of the entire hot pot eating process and sets the tone for whether the hot pot eating experience is enjoyable or not.

Although it is a spicy hot pot, the three people from Jiangbei are destined to not be able to eat spicy food, so Chen Jingle tried his best to make the soup base lighter, mainly fresh and fragrant, with a little bit of spiciness, just to enhance the flavor and drive away the cold.

"OK, the taste is set, turn on the fire, put the mushrooms in first to enhance the flavor, then boil the meat to activate the aroma of the oil in the soup base, and then put the vegetables in to absorb the essence! Pay attention to the order, don't pour it all in at once!"

Chen Jingle warned.

With Li Beixing around, there's no need to worry about making a mess.

He turned his hand to mix the sauce and dipping sauce.

The indispensable ingredient for hotpot is the soul-stirring dipping sauce.

Whether it is garlic oil dish, balsamic vinegar oil dish, spicy oil dish, or sesame soy oil dish, it all depends on personal preference.

Chen Jingle prefers a garlic dish with just some soy sauce, peanut oil and chopped green onions.

Keep it simple.

People in Lingnan often pay attention to the freshness and fragrance of food, and they don’t like sesame paste very much.

Of course, this is just his personal opinion.

Li Beixing courageously chose the spicy oil sauce and gave Chen Jingle a provocative look.

Yoho~!

Chen Jingle looked at her with a smile and said nothing.

He won't be fooled.

The spiciness of the soup base is just right for him. If it were spicier, it would affect his eating experience.

But it’s not impossible to taste someone else’s mouth after you finish eating.

Just neutralize each other.

……

In this damp and cold weather with drizzling outside, the three of them were eating spicy hot pot at home. The hot pot was emitting layers of aroma, filling half of the living room. There were beef, mutton, pork, chicken, fish balls, shrimp balls, beef balls, potatoes, cabbage, dried tofu, and so on.

All is enough!
Everyone ate voraciously and finished almost all the prepared ingredients. In the end, they leaned back in their chairs with bulging bellies, not wanting to move.

Take a long breath, it feels so comfortable!
The meal was very enjoyable. Although not as delicious as the dishes Chen Jingle usually cooks, this kind of weather is perfect for getting together and eating hotpot.

After burping and yawning, Chen Qiyun struggled to get up and went back to her room to continue doing her homework.

There is a lot of homework this week, and she plans to finish it all today so that she can have fun tomorrow.

Li Beixing glanced at Chen Qiyun's closed door, stood up and turned to walk upstairs.

Halfway up the stairs, she turned around, her lips, which were red from the spicy hot pot, curled up and hooked her finger at Chen Jingle.
