I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 116 Going to Switzerland to buy a Swiss roll
"We didn't have coconut milk, so I bought you a refreshing drink instead."

Jiang Yingzhu took out a sachet of yellow-packaged milk with a cartoon dog pattern on the plastic packaging.

"I'm not a child!" Yu Bing emphasized.

Jiang Yingzhu cut the Shuangwaiwai in half and immediately began to divide it.

A strip of Shuangwaiwai contains only four bottles, just enough for one bottle per person.

But if she doesn't want it, wouldn't Jiang Yingzhu be able to drink two bottles?
Yu Bing immediately stopped resisting, took a bottle, inserted a straw, and drank the milk as if it were Jiang Yingzhu's blood.

Suck, suck, suck like crazy!
The little mouth of the baby sucked puffed up.

Then I saw a large bottle of coconut milk in front of me.

"Didn't you say you didn't have it?"

"I saw you looked so pitiful, so I flew back to Huangcheng just now to buy it for you," Jiang Yingzhu said earnestly.

Yu Bing nodded earnestly, "Zhuzhu, you're amazing. Then fly to Switzerland and buy me a Swiss roll."

"Cough cough." Mei Mengqian almost choked on her milk when she heard that.

Jiang Yingzhu patted her on the back, pretending not to hear Yu Bing's words, and wondered to herself why the elementary school student wasn't fooled.

Li Yan took the small bottle, carefully examined the packaging, and then inserted a straw to take a sip.

It's been so long since I've had this stuff, so long that even if I became a cultivator, I still wouldn't have thought of it if Jiang Yingzhu hadn't bought it for me.

When he was a child, Li Yan often drank it, including AD calcium milk.

But I don't know when I'll stop drinking it.

I would occasionally try AD calcium milk after starting university, but I haven't seen Shuangwaiwai since.

Li Yan felt that this was not his fault; the times were developing too fast, and the variety of goods was increasing.

There are too many choices, too many temptations, and so many little devils—it's impossible to have enough.

I keep an eye on his meager savings, even though my wallet is already empty.

Old-fashioned products like Shuangwaiwai, which still retain their charm, have gradually been forgotten.

Jiang Yingzhu glanced at him and said, "You're drinking, taking small sips. If you don't want to spend the money, I'll buy you a case later."

"It's not necessary."

Not long after, the waiter brought the dishes up.

"This is braised mandarin fish, our restaurant's signature dish. It's caught from Xian Island Lake, so it's very fresh. Please enjoy."

After the waiter finished his introduction, he left, and Li Yan and his three companions turned their attention to the dishes in the center of the table.

On a pristine white platter, the braised mandarin fish displays an enticing reddish-brown color, drizzled with a rich sauce, making it look incredibly tempting.

Amidst this eye-catching red, there are also emerald green scallions, tender yellow ginger shreds, and fiery red chilies, creating a striking color contrast that resembles a beautiful ink painting.

The fish head is slightly raised and the tail is gently curled up, as if it is swimming in the soup, lifelike.

The aroma of caramelized sauce mixed with the fragrance of spiciness is released.

"The mandarin fish is so cute, it looks so delicious," Jiang Yingzhu said, taking a deep breath.

"Shall we start eating?"

"Aren't you going to take pictures?" Mei Mengqian pursed her lips, suppressing the drool that was about to spill, and said with great willpower:

"How about we wait until we have a few more dishes? Otherwise, this plate of fish will just have bones left."

Jiang Yingzhu nodded and picked up the Shuangwaiwai drink.

Yu Bing looked around and picked up her coconut milk.

Not long after, another local specialty, silverfish omelet, was served.

Next came mixed fish soup and fried baby fish, local specialties.

"Take a picture! Take a picture!"

Jiang Yingzhu couldn't resist any longer. There were so many fish, what was wrong with taking a bite?
She took out her phone and snapped a picture, and then everyone started eating together.

The next meal brought a pleasant surprise to Jiang Yingzhu and her two companions, who had almost had their fill of fish.

French fries, stinky tofu, and roujiamo (Chinese hamburger).

Jiang Yingzhu counted them one by one: six main fish dishes and six side dishes, all of which were her favorites.

Yu Bing seemed to prefer it and had given up her fondness for the fish. Mei Mengqian picked up a piece of crispy pork and secretly asked Li Yan.

"Why are there so many of these dishes? Li Yan, did you order the children's meal?"

"No, they can choose their own of the six side dishes."

As Li Yan spoke, he put the last piece of stinky tofu into his mouth.

He just wanted to eat stinky tofu. If he wasn't worried about incurring public wrath, he would have wanted stinky tofu as one of the six side dishes.

After they had almost finished eating, all four of them started scrolling through their phones.

When you go out to eat, you'll definitely post it on WeChat Moments.

Having learned from her previous experience, Jiang Yingzhu held Li Yan's phone still, and only sent the message after she had finished.

But after she finished sending it, she found that Mei Mengqian had already sent it.

"Oh, it's not like we're number one."

Jiang Yingzhu sighed, but her reaction was not as strong as last time.

Because Mei Mengqian's friends have little overlap with her.

Li Yan shared his fulfilling life with the class.

Immediately, someone jumped out.

Chen Xiyuan: I've been to Fairy Island Lake, it's just so-so. I prefer Erhai Lake.

Xiao Shuai: Erhai Lake is alright, but I prefer Florida.

Suddenly, the chat became abstract, and then Cheng Yuan spoke.

The food was really good.
But can the four of you finish all this food? Wasting food is shameful.

Ye Daijia: You're such a busybody. They paid for it, so it's their property. What they do with it is none of your business.

Cheng Yuan couldn't stand Ye Daijia, this fat, half-baked guy, and immediately retorted.

Cheng Yuan: Don't you understand the importance of thrift and frugality?

At this moment, Yu Bing spoke:
Yu Bing: My neighbors, the grandparents, were extremely frugal. Once, they ate leftover wood ear mushrooms and ended up with food poisoning, which they couldn't save...

Cheng Yuan:
Cheng Yuan: This is just an isolated case.

Chen Xiyuan: 'Yuanzi, not to be mean, but your views are too old-fashioned.'

"I have a relative who isn't exactly poor, but they're extremely frugal. They're reluctant to turn on lights, use electricity, or use water. They work at a restaurant, picking up leftovers. Isn't that thrifty enough?"

Later, he developed health problems and spent all the remaining money on medicine. His next-door neighbor happened to be the pharmacy owner. It was hilarious.

Cheng Yuan fell silent. Then, someone else chimed in.

Ye Daijia: Indeed, but it's not wrong for Cheng Yuan to be a little frugal.
Ye Daijia: Without you people tightening your belts, I definitely wouldn't be able to leave the lights and water on all the time.

Ye Daijia: Golf courses can no longer make huge profits.

System message: Ye Hui has enabled a full chat shutdown.
Ye Hui: Thrift is a good quality, but we can't be rigid in our thinking. Even if we have money, we can't squander it recklessly. Let's stop arguing.

Everyone looked at the muted chat box, thinking that they couldn't afford to start arguing.

Li Yan watched the class's internal competition unfold for a while, then turned off his phone without offering any comment.

He looked down at the table; most of the plates were already empty.

If you have to lick the soup clean to finish eating and avoid wasting it, then he'll probably waste food his whole life.

Jiang Yingzhu put down her phone at this moment and said:
"Your class is quite interesting, but why did Ye Hui mute the group chat? Unmute her!"

"Just wait a moment."

"Then how do we enjoy it?" Jiang Yingzhu said matter-of-factly. "If we stir things up now, they can keep going."

This person...

Li Yan shook his head and casually placed his phone on the table.

"Whee!"

Jiang Yingzhu chuckled, blinked, and picked up her phone.

Unlock easily with a swipe of your finger.
