The growth system comes at the age of 30

Chapter 83 Crooked Nut Kernel

After handing over the note, Chen Jingle fled the library almost at a running speed.

He was afraid that someone would catch up and beat him up.

This was the first time he did such a bold thing. In the past, he would always choose between being cowardly and being angry, and he would choose to be angry.

It seems that the system has a great influence on him, and he even dares to launch a strong attack offline.

"I hope those two girls don't kick off the covers when they sleep in anger at night."

Well, just consider it as a small punishment for disturbing me while I was reading.

When I got home, the phone had already rang.

"Just call me."

Chen Jingle opened a bag of biscuits and ate some fruit.

The night snack stalls outside are quite tempting, especially the barbecue. In the summer, barbecued oysters with ice-cold beer are so refreshing.

But he still held back.

I've already taken a shower and don't want to smell anything.

Besides, the price of barbecue in Jiangbei is extremely expensive. With one hundred yuan per person, you can only eat until you are 60% to 70% full. If you add drinks, the price will be even more outrageous.

They dare to sell an eggplant for ten yuan!

The roasted corn that used to cost ten yuan a stick is now made into strings of corn kernels, each string costs one yuan, and you can make thirty or forty strings from one stick!
Why don't you go and grab it? !

He spoke as if he couldn't bake.

Chen Jingle thought: "I will get a barbecue grill and grill it at home!"

It seems like a long time has passed since the last time I had barbecue.

One is that I’m afraid of getting a sore throat. Given the climate and soil in Lingnan, eating anything indiscriminately can have serious consequences. Another reason is that I’m older and don’t like drinking, so when we have a meal together, we all quietly choose morning tea or a simple healthy midnight snack.

But eating it once in a while is not a big deal.

Thinking of this, Chen Jingle stopped reading the book and started to study how to make barbecue.

Nowadays, you can find any instructional video on the Internet if you look carefully. There are many so-called barbecue secrets that are willing to be shared for free. There are videos that teach you how to grill step by step, which is like feeding you food.

There is no need to spend thousands to buy others.

"If you don't even have the ability to obtain free resources, don't try to do business like others, because you probably won't make any money."

Some people like to follow the trend blindly, spending money to buy the recipe, a stall cart and a bunch of ingredients.

As a result, on the first day of setting up the stall, I earned 0 yuan.

The next day, I still earned 0 yuan.
On the third day, the income was 2000 yuan.

I couldn't do it anymore, so I sold the car.

It may seem like a joke, but in fact this kind of situation is quite common in reality.

……

Barbecue has been very popular in the past two years and has blossomed everywhere.

The most popular barbecues on the Internet are Northeastern BBQ and Zibo BBQ. They both have large quantities, affordable prices, and good service, and have built a good reputation.

When Chen Jingle was working like a slave, he always thought that if he had the chance he must visit these two places to try the local specialties and experience different cultural customs.

As a result, several years have passed, and due to various reasons, this goal has not been achieved.

I'm deeply sorry.

The barbecue in Jiangbei is mainly famous for charcoal-grilled oysters.

Although the local oysters are not big in size, they are delicious and are widely praised when paired with the garlic chili sauce prepared by the owner.

If I put some chicken kidneys in...

In local dialect, it means, "The bed will be broken tonight."

Although science has proven that it is only the zinc in oysters that works, the zinc content in oysters is actually very small, far less than taking zinc gluconate tablets directly.

However, Chinese people firmly believe in the benefits of oysters.

Although local oysters are good, the production is not high. What sells better are still marketed as local oysters, but in fact they are other varieties shipped from neighboring provinces and cities or the eastern coast.

Due to differences in water quality, variety, growth cycle, etc. in each place, the quality of oysters actually varies greatly.

Whether it tastes good or not depends not only on the grilling technique, but also on personal preference.

Some people like sweet and fresh, some people like fat and delicious.

Difficult to reach.

In addition to oysters, there are also prawns, scallops, mussels, octopus, abalone, etc., which are also regular seafood at barbecue stalls.

When it comes to eating this, Chinese people are the best.

Again, Engel knows nothing about food!
……

For Chen Jingle, grilling ingredients and charcoal fire are not a problem.

These are sold in vegetable markets and supermarkets.

Without pursuing profits and without considering the bulk purchase price, we only need to look at the quality.

For ordinary people, the difficulty and key point lies in the barbecue temperature. It will not taste good if it is not cooked or overcooked.

In addition, the timing of applying seasoning is also very important. The seasoning should be fully absorbed into the barbecue during the baking process.

For example, when the meat skewers are sizzling with oil, it is the best time to sprinkle seasoning on them. This way, it will not fall off and be wasted, and it will not affect the temperature of the charcoal fire.

As for vegetables such as eggplant and leeks, it is best to sprinkle them with seasoning before they are cooked and taken out of the oven.

These are a test of vision and experience.

Then it’s time to prepare the barbecue sauce.

In fact, if you follow the sauce ratios shared by others online, it's generally not that bad. At most, you can make some adjustments based on local tastes. Chen Jingle looked at a few recipes given by others and had a rough idea in his mind.

According to your own "chef" experience, add or remove some seasonings to make it more delicious and fragrant.

In this respect, he has an advantage over others.

In the later stage, adjustments can be made continuously to achieve perfection.

The only bad thing is that I can’t resist looking at the delicious food on the screen late at night, so I can only eat some dry food and fruits.

"I am also sick. Why am I searching for barbecue tutorials so late at night?"

After a few complaints, I brushed my teeth after eating and prepared to go to bed. It was already 10 o'clock.

Once you cover yourself with a small quilt, no one will love you.

The lullaby the system sang to him tonight was "Treading on the Waves".

[A small cloud]

[Walk slowly]

[Please take a break]

【Stop for a while】

[The mountain flowers are blooming]

[I just came to the mountain]

Listening to the gentle singing beside my ears, I felt like I was back in my childhood, when I climbed over mountains and crossed hills with my friends in the village to dig out beehives and pick wild fruits.

At that time, he was tanned by the scorching sun like a little charcoal, short, thin and dark, but he didn't have many worries.

"It turns out that growing up is not as happy as I imagined..."

Chen Jingle fell asleep with a slightly frown on his face, looking a little more sad than usual. It was not until he finished singing the whole song that he relaxed.

【Good night】

……

the next day.

Chen Jingle got up early as usual. After his biological clock got used to it, he didn't even need the system alarm to remind him. He would open his eyes automatically when it was almost time.

It’s my usual routine to go out for a run, eat breakfast, come back to clean up and take a shower.

At this time, a rather special guest suddenly came outside the village.

A middle-aged foreign man carrying a black backpack and holding a handheld camera stick kept mumbling something to the camera.

This attracted the curiosity of the villagers who looked around.

Foreigner?
It's really rare. In this area, who has ever seen a real foreigner except on TV?

But after looking at it for a while, I felt that it was just like that, a head with two eyes, and no difference except that the skin looked whiter.

Alexander, the person involved, was no longer surprised. He was even in a mood to wave and say hello to the villagers with a smile. However, not many villagers responded to him. Some of them looked alert, while others were rather shy.

Chen Jingle had just finished taking a shower and was about to take the washed bedding sets to the yard to dry.

I was stunned when I saw a middle-aged foreign man passing by the door holding a selfie stick.

Why do I feel like I've seen this scene somewhere before?

The Vlogs he saw on Douyin, which were shot by foreign bloggers traveling in China, were exactly the same.

Chen Jingle wondered: "Are there foreigners visiting a small place like Jiangbei?"

Picture what?
The electric car is running rampant here?

The dump truck in the picture doesn’t look at the traffic lights?
……

Alexander talks to the camera.

"Although many people have repeatedly warned me not to go to the countryside in this country because they don't understand what I say and are rude and impolite. But now I am in the countryside, a small place called Jiangbei City in Nandong Province."

"Looking at the surrounding hills and farmland, this is indeed a rural area, with no tall buildings or wide roads. However, I want to say that it is not as bad as described by the Western media. On the contrary, even their farmers can afford to live in a nice house with a car next to it."

"Although they don't understand what I say, along the way, the people here are at most curious about my skin color and appearance. It's probably because they rarely see other races here. When I first came to this country, I encountered this situation and I was a little uncomfortable. Now it's much better. Say hello to them, they are actually very friendly."

"Oh my God, what do I see? A handsome young man. I swear he is the most handsome one I have met on this trip. Young people like this are rare in rural areas. I have only met them in a few big cities before. They are often dressed fashionably and look more like celebrities than ordinary people. Most of them are Internet celebrities. Let's go say hello to him."

Alexander saw Chen Jingle drying sheets in the yard, and the camera turned: "Hi, Nihao~"

Chen Jingle paused and said, "Hello. Are you filming a video?"

He answered in English.

Alexander didn't expect to meet someone who could communicate in English in the rural area of such a remote small city.

I was immediately surprised: "Oh, you can speak standard English! Thank God, I finally don't have to speak my poor Chinese to others anymore."

It's no exaggeration to say that he breathed a sigh of relief.

God knows how painful it is for a foreigner who can only say "mud howl", "crab crab" and "how much", to communicate with the locals without speaking the language.

Especially in some places, people can't even speak Mandarin, and their dialects cannot even be recognized by translation software. Most of the time they can only rely on gestures with their hands.

“A little bit.”

Chen Jingle smiled slightly.

I don’t know why, but I suddenly felt like I had been practicing speaking for two and a half years and finally met a foreigner and could show off my skills.

It's just that the other party didn't start with "How are you", and he couldn't answer "I'm fine, thank you. And you?"

Quite a pity.

　I received a temporary notification to put the work on the shelves. I don’t have enough manuscripts left, so I will update 6,000 words first, and another 6,000 words in the evening.
