Chapter 24: This is the good news
Xu Qing did think about it for a long time last night. After the thief made trouble, he didn't feel much sleep, so he lay in bed and thought about Jiang He.
Picking up an ancient person is very novel, but there are a lot of visible and invisible troubles in life, like time bombs, who may explode at some point.
It's okay to stay at home, but he still has to learn to live in the end. He can't raise this girl for the rest of his life.
To put it another way, even if her handsome, charming and suave appearance attracts Jiang He, and the two of them go crazy... she still has to get used to this world, and cannot become a waste like winter melon, only eating and sleeping.
"Remember this day."
When Xu Qing arrived at the door of the breakfast shop, he turned around and said to Jiang He, then found a seat to sit down and order food.
Fried dough sticks, steamed buns, side dishes, and porridge are standard breakfast items.
The morning sun is shining brightly, shining onto the table through the window. There are more and more traffic outside, the city is beginning to wake up, and there are more and more customers in the breakfast shop, taking away or sitting down to eat.
The two of them were eating breakfast quietly. From the outside, there was nothing unusual. No one would have thought that the girl eating steamed buns came from ancient times.
Jiang He took a sip of porridge and raised her head to look at the street. What she liked most in this world was all kinds of food. Although she had never seen the emperor eat anything, she was sure that delicious food like steamed buns and fried dough sticks would be delicious.
There is nothing even in the palace.
"If you're not full, you can add whatever you like to the porridge here. If you want to eat the buns, go over and ask her, tell her how many you want, and I'll pay the bill later."
Xu Qing was already full after eating three steamed buns. He remembered the sweat on Jiang He's forehead before going out and guessed that martial arts practitioners have a big appetite, so he informed Jiang He.
Jiang He heard this and thought for a while, "Is this bun expensive?"
"It's not expensive. Breakfast is the cheapest..." Xu Qing whispered to her, "You basically don't need to worry about eating here. If the main thing is to eat enough, it won't cost much to just eat these. You can eat without worry."
Youtiao costs one yuan each, vegetarian buns cost six cents, and meat buns cost one piece. If you don’t go to a high-end restaurant for a big meal and just eat these daily foods, no one with a job or income will be able to afford it.
Jiang He thought about it, got up and went to the place where he was ordering, "Add ten...five buns."
"Cough...cough!"
Xu Qing choked on a mouthful of porridge, coughed a few times and turned around, adding: "Packed!"
The cashier girl nodded and said nothing.
"Can you finish?"
When Jiang He came back, Xu Qing couldn't help but ask questions.
"Almost...did you eat too much?" Jiang He held the empty bowl and debated whether to fill it with a larger bowl of porridge.
"I said you can eat with confidence, but it's just... it's too conspicuous. Just keep a normal amount of food outside, pack it up and go back to eat... You can drink two more bowls of porridge, it doesn't matter."
"When I make money from playing games, I will pay you back." Jiang He whispered, got up and went to fill the porridge.
Xu Qing was noncommittal, he still hadn't paid back...it was just to eat some food, how could he collect debt from an ancient person?
Jiang He liked the thick porridge very much. In her time, drinking porridge was basically equivalent to drinking water. She had never seen such a practice where there was more rice than water. Even if the porridge of the landlords and wealthy families was thicker, it would still be better.
Don't dare to squander it like this.
After Jiang He had finished three bowls of porridge, and he was almost satisfied, the two of them took the packed vegetable buns and went out. Although they had breakfast before, they always ordered takeout. Jiang He could eat as much as he ordered, which he never said.
As for the problem of not having enough to eat, it was only now that he correctly understood Jiang He's appetite for the first time.
"I'll take you to a buffet some other time."
Xu Qing looked at the self-service hot pot restaurant in the distance, guessing that Jiang He would like it very much.
"What is that?" Jiang He heard another new word.
"You just pay a little money, and then you can eat whatever is inside until you can't eat any more - just like the porridge just now, but there is not only porridge, but also vegetables, meat, and... I'll take you to eat some other time
I understand."
"Is there such a good thing?"
Jiang He was surprised, "Is that an organization similar to a relief organization?"
"No, it's a very common hotel, just a way of operating it."
Xu Qing picked up the buns in her hand, opened the bag, took out one and ate it while walking on the road, indicating that she could eat it too, and said: "Most of the people here are engaged in mental work. Like the emperor, they sit for a whole day, processing
There is basically no effort required to do various things, so naturally we eat less. If you eat these dozen or twenty buns in a store, it will be very conspicuous, so we have to keep a low profile.
Similarly, because we don’t have much to eat, some businessmen open these kinds of shops and pay a small amount of money to eat whatever we want. Anyway, we can’t eat much, especially girls and children. If we pay a hundred yuan, we can eat food worth thirty or forty at most.
In this way, the store makes more than half of the profit."
Jiang He understood a little when he heard what he said, "Some people can eat just fine, but the income from those who eat less is equal to what they earned?"
"She's very smart!" Xu Qing was surprised by her IQ. You should know that when he was a child, he was taken to a buffet by Xu Wenbin. He marveled for a long time that the boss was such a nice person that he allowed people to eat whatever they wanted.
"Why should I eat if I have a small appetite? Is it too much money?" This is something Jiang He can't understand.
“There are so many varieties, you can eat whatever you want. It’s very convenient and satisfying. You don’t have to worry about ordering or the price.”
The two of them ate while walking on the road. Xu Qing ate eighty percent full in the store. He only ate two pieces and then carried them to Jiang He to eat slowly.
For Jiang He, who was completely blank, no matter what she talked about, she was still learning. Although the world was complicated, many things were intrinsically connected. When all aspects of life were combined and accumulated to a certain extent, it would always lead to qualitative changes, which made her suddenly
An epiphany about how the world works.
If there is demand, there will be supply, and if it exists, it will be reasonable. Finding that "reason" is the correct approach.
Just keep a respectful distance from things that are irrational. That is probably not a good thing.
Simple and crude concepts are what Jiang He needs most at the moment.
"Okay, you still have fifteen minutes to deal with these buns."
After returning home and checking the time, Xu Qing said to Jiang He, then took out a bottle of Happy Water from the refrigerator, opened it and took a few sips, "I will start playing games at nine o'clock, and before noon, except for drinking water and going to the toilet, there will be nothing else."
Don’t do it – this is the normal life of most people, 9 to 5, let you experience it.”
"Most people?"
"Well...theoretically, it would be too difficult for you to enjoy the 996 blessings."
Xu Qingxiao said, "After lunch, you can rest until 1:30 in the afternoon, and then continue playing games until 5:00 in the afternoon. Don't think about doing anything else in the meantime, just play games honestly."
