Chapter 12: The first level of rebirth passed smoothly
I just hung up on my third aunt. Would she let it go so easily? Is she the kind of person who would just let it go after hanging up the phone?
She knew Dong Mei too well, and she was probably on her way to kill her!
She is very angry at the moment. If you don't listen to her and get married, talking to her about it will only add fuel to the fire.
Although she has made up her mind not to be dominated again, she can't control her fear of Dong Mei!
What to do? If you can’t afford to offend, hide!
Zhao Xiaojing suddenly panicked. Looking at the almost finished Qingbuliang and thinking about the one-hour task, she turned around and took the largest lunch box, scooped a large spoonful of each condiment, and then poured the fried coconut milk shaved ice on it. Finally, she didn't forget to add some shredded coconut meat and crushed peanuts for garnish.
There was no time to eat after I finished cooking, so I closed the lunch box lid, put two ice packs in it, put on the insulated lunch bag and packed it up.
When I turned around, I saw that the various materials for making Qingbuliang were no longer on the table. The system had recovered them.
Zhao Xiaojing didn't bother to feel sorry. She picked up her lunch bag, the small stool and the cash she had collected today, closed the door, and ran away like a flash.
Although she could just pretend not to be at home without opening the door, the thought of Dong Mei knocking on the door while she was hiding inside still made her feel stressed.
Forget it, of the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best one!
Zhao Xiaojing carried her small stool and ran to the place she had found yesterday to practice recipes in virtual space.
This place is not far away and is not on the main road. I was going to come there in the evening anyway, so I just arrived a little earlier.
The new practice location is very similar to the small restaurant yesterday. In order to attract customers, the stove and ingredients are placed outside.
The difference is that this store is next to a pharmacy with its door open. Because the air conditioner is on, elderly people often bring stools to sit at the door to enjoy the cool air at night, so Zhao Xiaojing sitting aside is not conspicuous.
It was still light at this time, and the sun shone obliquely on the red greenhouse of the restaurant next door, casting a long shadow that just blocked the sun for Zhao Xiaojing.
Zhao Xiaojing sat on a stool, carefully opened the thermal bag, and lifted the lid of the lunch box.
A bowl of snow-white, colorful Qingbuliang soup with a mellow and fragrant aroma immediately appeared before my eyes.
Holding the bowl, Zhao Xiaojing smiled sincerely, took out her mobile phone and took several photos, then used a spoon to scoop out the fillings underneath and took a few more photos, before carefully scooping a spoonful and putting it into her mouth.
"Oh my god!" After taking a sip, Zhao Xiaojing felt that all the heat and dryness in her body disappeared. She didn't know if it could really clear away heat and moisten the lungs, but the slight cool sweetness did make her feel healed.
Although it was not the first time I had eaten the food produced by the system, I still couldn’t help but be amazed.
Maybe because they added a lot of toppings, each bite gave a different feeling. The soft and sticky ones were mango, the chewy and chewy ones were adazi, and the sour, sweet and crispy ones were chopped hawthorn.
It is sweet, but not greasy. It has the natural sweetness of fruit, with the mellow coconut flavor of shaved ice. Every bite is full of freshness.
Just one bite can make people fall in love with summer.
After finishing the meal with satisfaction, I remembered the system prompt sound that I had ignored in my panic.
At a glance, the task interface showed that it was completed.
Click to claim your reward.
[Congratulations on receiving System Coins x20, Cash x100, Experience x100]
This is so kind of you, giving me both recipes and rewards. It’s my blessing to have you in the system!
Zhao Xiaojing happily took out her cell phone, turned off the airplane mode, and connected to the free Wi-Fi in the pharmacy.
Then I selected two photos of Qingbuliang that I had just taken, blocked my relatives, and sent a message to my friends.
The caption implicitly praises the system: I am so lucky to be able to eat this. (Hands folded emoji/Hands folded emoji/)
After doing all this, Zhao Xiaojing collected the lunch box, counted some money while no one was around, and settled today's bill.
I spent 800 yuan in the morning, more than 500 yuan on ingredients, and the remaining nearly 310 yuan was used to buy tools and most of it was used to buy seasonings.
Now he has a total of 1,561 yuan in his hand, which means that in addition to his original balance of more than ten yuan and the 100 yuan just rewarded by the system, the sales of his stall has reached more than 1,400 yuan.
Zhao Xiaojing breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally felt a little relieved.
The rent is due tomorrow and I can pay it. It's 350 yuan a month, and after paying it, I still have over 1,000 yuan left, enough to buy more goods tomorrow. I've finally made it through the first level of my rebirth.
Zhao Xiaojing packed up her things with satisfaction, then projected the stove and refrigerator of the restaurant next door into the virtual space to start today's practice.
The ingredients in this restaurant are slightly different from those of the previous two days. This restaurant mainly serves poultry such as chicken, duck, and goose. Each part is neatly separated, which also provides great convenience for Zhao Xiaojing to practice with new ingredients.
She practiced until ten o'clock in the evening. When Zhao Xiaojing's alarm clock rang, she exited the space and sneaked back to the downstairs of the rental house.
I stood there and listened for a while. When I found nothing unusual, I dared to walk upstairs slowly.
"Hey Xiao Zhao, why did you come back just now?"
As soon as I went up to the second floor, I heard the familiar voice of the landlord behind me.
"Your aunt just came and knocked on the door for a long time! She said she couldn't find you and your phone was turned off."
The landlord lives on the second floor. The entire building belongs to her, so she's always the first to know if anything happens. Zhao Xiaojing smiled sheepishly.
"Auntie Li, I went out for a walk and put my phone in my pocket. I don't know how it turned off. Oh, and I just happened to pay your rent. Are you still awake?"
"Yes, my grandson just made a fuss. Remember to call your aunt back. She looks very angry." The landlord opened the payment code on his mobile phone.
"Okay, Auntie, I'm going up."
After paying the rent, Zhao Xiaojing went upstairs. She felt depressed again, a mixture of guilt and the feeling of having escaped a disaster.
She should earn money and pay it back as soon as possible. Although she knew that Dong Mei was not forcing her to pay it back, always owing someone made it difficult for her to even say a simple refusal.
After a pause, he exited the airplane mode on his phone, and sure enough, he received more than a dozen messages, most of which were sent by Dong Mei.
There is moral kidnapping: "I haven't slept for several nights because of you. How can I face your mother after you let me go? Who can you be honest with?"
Someone kindly advised: "I just asked you to come over for a meal and meet some people, not for anything else. If you can get along, then go ahead. If not, forget it. I'm not forcing you."
Some people were furious: "If you don't get married, you are unfaithful, unfilial, and unrighteous! Why would the country support a child like you?!"
There are so many of them.
Zhao Xiaojing thought about it and replied with a long text message sincerely.
In addition, there was a cash arrival text message for completing the system task and two text messages sent by Su Yuchen.
Zhao Xiaojing opened Su Yuchen's text message and immediately laughed.
