Rebirth starts with small money

"Don't tell me, the weather in western Xinjiang is really comfortable."

"That's right~ It might be a little uncomfortable in winter, but in summer it's really suitable for escaping the heat."

"Actually, it's okay in winter~ There is heating in winter, and it's actually not bad if you don't stay outside."

".!"

Early in the morning, Chen Li was awakened from his sleep.

Opening his eyes~ Chen Li saw his mother~ second aunt~ second mother and Aunt Jiang busy in the kitchen.

There are more people in the family, and there are quite a lot of meals that need to be cooked.

In particular, Chen Li and his party are considered guests, so Tian Xiaoli is still very concerned about her daily diet.

For example, this morning, Tian Xiaoli made the very famous Xijiang Soup and Rice.

Soup rice is not rice with soup, but a food made with flour and beef and mutton as the main ingredients.

It's a bit like noodle soup~ or gnocchi, but the ingredients in it are relatively rich.

Today's soup and rice are not made in the style of Xijiang, because the bacon brought by Chen Guofu from his hometown is added in it, but the recipe is still the same as the soup and rice.

After all, this is Xijiang, plus some customs of ethnic minorities, so the traditional soup and rice ~ mostly use beef and mutton.

And today's soup and rice have bacon~sausage~grain slices in it, don't tell me~ this stuff has a different flavor when it is made.

Anyway, after Chen Li woke up, he came to the kitchen smelling the smell.

"Brother~!"

In the kitchen~ Except for a few housewives, only Wang Yan is helping in the kitchen.

This girl has been used to doing things at home since she was a child. If she is really asked to do nothing, she will feel a little uncomfortable.

"Hmm~ what is this made of, gnocchi? It smells so good!"

Although he knew that this was Xijiang's soup and rice, Chen Li still had to pretend to ask.

No way~ Although many things are very familiar to him, logically speaking, it should be the first contact for him.

"This is rice soup ~ it's similar to the gnocchi in your hometown!"

"This morning it's rice soup with baked buns, how about it?"

Tian Xiaoli introduced her nephew with a smile, um~ there is nothing wrong with it, after all, anyone who has a nephew like Chen Li has to laugh.

"Soup and rice~ I've heard that it seems to be delicious."

"Ok?"

Chen Li nodded, rubbed his stomach and said.

Speaking of which~ Chen Li is hungrier than ordinary people at night.

Mainly when most people sleep, their metabolism will slow down, but Chen Li is different. He will go to the system space for two or three hours before going to bed, which also makes him hungry every morning.

In his previous life, Chen Li almost skipped breakfast because of work.

After all, it is early morning when he gets off work every day, and it is almost afternoon after he occasionally eats a midnight snack and wakes up.

Even if I rest occasionally, I don't bother to eat breakfast, even if I am hungry, I am almost used to it.

But now~ especially in the past two years after having the system space, Chen Li's requirements for breakfast are even higher than those for lunch and dinner.

At the very least, simple porridge and pickles~ can no longer satisfy Chen Li's needs for breakfast.

When he was in school, Chen Li’s breakfast would usually be a bowl of rice noodles or noodles, and then served with a few steamed buns~or two meat sandwiches, or a pancake fruit, and even pies occasionally, but Yanwai Most of the pies in the cafeteria are filled with fennel, so Chen Li rarely eats them.

...

In fact~ Chen Li's eating habits can be regarded as the merger of the north and the south.

As a southerner, he is more acceptable to most northern dishes, including raw vegetables or pasta.

Chen Li could even drink soybean juice, which even people in Yanjing might not like to drink.

But only this fennel. Chen Li really couldn't accept it.

But in Yanjing~whether it is buns~dumplings~or pies filled with fennel can occupy half of the country.

This is actually quite normal, just like some people can't eat coriander ~ some people can't accept zheergen.

However~ Chen Li's acceptance of food in Xijiang is quite high, and there is almost nothing he can't eat.

But everyone else was worse, especially at the beginning, Chen Li's second mother, Tian Xiaoli, liked to cook the specialties of Xijiang.

She had good intentions. After all, Chen Li and his party came from afar, and they must have a taste of the delicacies of Xijiang.

It's just that it's okay to try something new with special delicacies, and it's really a test for the stomach if you eat it all at once.

In the previous life, when Chen Li's family came to visit relatives in Xijiang, Chen Li's younger sister fell ill because of acclimatization.

But this time~ because Chen Li had prepared ahead of time, this problem was solved very well.

"Hungry? Then go wash up quickly."

"The soup and rice will have to wait for a while, but Tingting should be back soon, you can eat the baked buns first."

When Tian Xiaoli saw Chen Li's appearance, she knew that Chen Li was hungry.

As expected of such a big head, this appetite is indeed much larger than that of ordinary people.

But in the eyes of the elders, being able to eat is a blessing!

Tian Xiaoli asked Chen Li to wash up, and she almost squeezed toothpaste for Chen Li herself.

In fact, the relationship between Chen Li and this second mother in the previous life was also very good, but it was still worse than now.After all, Chen Li in his previous life didn't have the ability to make his relatives rich.

"Brother ~ here!"

Although Chen Li rejected his second mother's act of squeezing toothpaste, he did not stop Wang Yan from helping him carry the towel.

This girl has a very good relationship with him now, even closer than Chen Xue, his own sister.

It's just that this girl seems to have just picked celery, and even after washing her hands, she still smelled of celery.

Although there was some smell, Chen Li didn't care much.

Although this is the second father's home in Xijiang, it is also a kind of home for Chen Li, so he really doesn't care about the image that much.

"By the way~ you go to brother's bed and bring that box over."

Chen Li took the towel from Wang Yan, wiped his face and ordered casually.

"Oh~!"

As for my cousin's words~ Wang Yan seldom objected, and obediently went to take the courier box that Chen Li just received yesterday.

Express delivery in [-] was not as developed as it was later.

The things in this courier~ Chen Li asked Zhou Xiaoli to buy them, and they were supposed to get them before Chen Li left Beijing, but there was a delay on the way, and when the things came back, Chen Li had already arrived in Xijiang.

In desperation, Chen Li could only give Zhou Xiaoli the address of his second father's house, and asked Zhou Xiaoli to send the things over.

It took half a month for the courier box from Yanjing to Licheng, and it was an expedited courier.

I have to say ~ the logistics industry these days is really not that convenient.

...

One of the things that impressed Chen Li the most about the logistics these years was that his old man would send bacon and sausages to his second dad's house every year.

But the express fee for each delivery is even more than twice as expensive as the bacon itself.

It’s okay to be expensive, and the efficiency is not very high. The longest time, from the time the item was sent to the time it was received, was almost a month.

People in this day and age may have gotten used to it, but it was somewhat difficult for Chen Li, who came from later generations, to accept it.

After all, in later generations, with the improvement of the level of logistics, within the domestic scope, even in places like Xijiang~Mongolia, it will generally not exceed a week.

But fortunately, the things finally arrived, even before Chen Li and his party left Xijiang.

"Brother~ what is this?"

"It's quite heavy!"

Wang Yan groaned and groaned and moved a big cardboard box over. In fact, the things inside were not very heavy, but because of the large quantity and large size, it was a bit difficult for Wang Yan to carry it.

"Well, something good."

"It's just that it's a bit of a waste now."

"I knew I would send it back to Erlong Town directly."

Chen Li didn't directly say what was in the box, but opened the box helplessly.

"Brother~ use this."

Seeing that Chen Li was struggling to tear the tape with his hands, Wang Yan cleverly found a fruit knife and came over.

Hmm~ I have to say that women seem to be very talented when it comes to unboxing.

When Chen Li saw the box, he subconsciously used his hands to tear off the tape, while Wang Yan immediately went to find a fruit knife.

"Shh~!"

With the help of a fruit knife, Chen Li opened the cardboard box, and then...
"Wow~!" Wang Yan was the first to express emotion!

Then the housewives who had been attracted by the chat between Chen Li and Wang Yan also came over, and then
"Huh? So many cosmetics?"

"What's all this?"

"So much? How much does it cost?"

Everyone looked at the opened cardboard box and began to chatter.

That's right~ the things in the box are all cosmetics, to be precise. It's all skin care products.

From cleanser ~ face cream to mask ~ from toner to essence and even lotion, there are a lot of miscellaneous.

If a knowledgeable person saw these skin care products, he would probably have to sigh with emotion. This is a lot of money!

Yes~ These skin care products are big brands that Chen Li asked Zhou Xiaoli to find someone to buy from abroad.

These things~ It was originally because Chen Li thought that this was the first time he went to the second father's house, and he must bring some gifts for the second mother and Chen Tingting.

In the previous life, Chen Li's second mother did not take good care of her skin because of the weather in western Xinjiang.

After all, this is Xijiang~ Especially in winter, the temperature can reach minus [-] degrees.

And Chen Tingting~ This girl often complained in her previous life, saying that her skin was not as good as Chen Xue's.

So this time, Chen Li thought about giving his second mother and cousin a set of skin care products.

But skin care products. If Chen Li only gave them to his second mother and Chen Tingting, then he would probably have to be cleaned up by his own mother and second aunt.

So Chen Li simply spent all his money and asked Zhou Xiaoli to ask someone to buy several sets of skin care products abroad.

...

Several housewives here began to discuss the usefulness of these things, and Chen Li had already washed his face with facial cleanser.

Reasonable~ Chen Li in the previous life actually didn't use this thing.Including Chen Li doesn't use this now, he just wipes his face with a towel, and he doesn't even bother to use soap.

The reason why he used facial cleanser this time was actually to set a demonstration.

"Mom~ how is it?"

"You see it's clean, huh?"

Just as Chen Li wanted to show his mother, he heard a "ding" from the system in his mind. Chen Li was stunned for a moment and then continued to ask.

"Mom~ how is it?"

"Do you see if this cleanser is clean?"

The reason why he wanted to do this demonstration was that Chen Li was worried that his mother would make trouble for him.

This is different from buying things for himself. The most fearful thing about buying things for elders is that they use "waste", "unnecessary" and "useless" as excuses to shirk.

If it's just an excuse, that's fine, maybe the name of a prodigal son can be crowned on Chen Li's head.

In his previous life, Chen Li also bought a set of skin care products for his mother, which cost thousands of dollars, but in the end he was nagged by Ms. Wang for many days.

Of course~ In fact, Ms. Wang probably was very happy at the time, but happiness is happiness. Nagging still has to be nagging.

As for Chen Li's net worth is much richer than in his previous life, but he also doesn't want to be nagged by his mother, so he just demonstrates it personally.

"Hey~ Don't tell me, this is really clean."

"This is facial cleanser, isn't it?"

"what about this?"

"And what is this?"

"What are these things? Why are they all in foreign characters, I can't even read them."

Although Chen Li was asking about his own mother, his second mother, second aunt and even Aunt Jiang all came over to take a look.

Then several people pawed at Chen Li's head, pawing back and forth, which made Chen Li very helpless.

At this time, Chen Li suddenly panicked, because he forgot one thing, that is, he is not familiar with these things!
He naturally knew what it was, after all, it was written on the bottle.

Chen Li's mother couldn't understand the English above, so Chen Li must understand it.

But it doesn't make sense to understand the words.

Because as a man, he really doesn't understand the usefulness of these things!
Chen Li in his previous life had very limited understanding of skin care products, to what extent?

Since childhood, the only skin care product Chen Li has used is facial cleanser.

Hmm~ When he was young, his lips cracked in winter, so he should have used Lan lip balm.

So you asked Chen Li to explain these things to his mother and others, he really didn't know how to explain them.

For example, he knows that lotion is lotion, but how to use it?
What other essences~creams, etc., etc., although Chen Li can directly translate according to the instructions, but the specific effects of this thing and what it is aimed at are not necessarily available in the instructions.

Fortunately, at this time, Chen Tingting, who went out to buy baked buns, came back, and Liu Qingqing and Zhou Ling came back with her.

At this time, Chen Li seemed to see a savior, and quickly waved to Liu Qingqing.

"Daughter-in-law Qingqing, come and introduce some of these cosmetics to my mother and your mother."

Chen Li had bought these things for Liu Qingqing before, so Liu Qingqing was still very familiar with them.

"Well~ here we come!"

Liu Qingqing's eyes lit up when she saw the opened cardboard box.

Women~ For cosmetics. It's almost the same as men's feelings for firearms.

Even though Liu Qingqing was still a little uncomfortable when she received the skin care products Chen Li bought for her earlier, but now Liu Qingqing has some experience in using these skin care products.

"This is the essence!"

"It has anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, moisturizing, whitening, anti-freckle and more!"

"This one stands out for its whitening and moisturizing effects."

At this moment, Liu Qingqing directly transformed into a shopping guide for cosmetics and introduced her directly.

Not to mention Chen Li's mother~second mother~second aunt~even Liu Qingqing's mother, even Zhou Ling and Chen Tingting listened very attentively.

The only woman on the scene who is not very interested in cosmetics is probably the young Wang Yan.

Chen Li patted Wang Yan's little head, shook his head and said:
"Go and wake up your big sister Xue ~ tell her not to sleep in!"
