Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Chapter 226 Next stop, Chang'an
During this period of time, Du Shaojie consumed 3000 redemption points and 60000 hours of time to elevate 10 classic Hunan dishes to the current highest level, which is a level with an overall evaluation of "fragrant fragrance that spreads ten miles away."

In addition, he spent 4000 hours in simulation scenarios.

Diligence brings success while laziness leads to failure. Generally speaking, Du Shaojie is a very self-disciplined person.

At the same time, he also made 12 dishes with an overall evaluation of "the fragrance spreads ten miles away", and earned 3600 redemption points and 7.2 hours of general time.

[Exchange points: 30218 points\53166 points]

【Duration: 361700 hours\950996 hours】

Since he couldn't sleep at the moment, Du Shaojie entered the simulation scene and continued to improve the spice formula of [Sauce Pork Elbow].

When you feel tired, exit and take a break, then enter the simulation scene again to practice other dishes.

It was not until the second half of the night that he fell asleep again.

early morning.

Du Shaojie got up to go to the toilet and wash up. The number of people in each hard sleeper car is less than that in the hard seat car, but if you are late, you will still have to queue.

After washing up, he was walking back when he met the girl who asked for a light last night.

"morning!"

"Morning for you too!"

The girl obviously recognized Du Shaojie and greeted him.

Du Shaojie responded and went back to his bunk. He had no expectation for this kind of encounter. It was just a chance meeting and after the journey, he would probably never meet again.

When the train slowly stopped at the platform, Du Shaojie walked down carrying his travel bag.

From south to north, the temperature was getting lower and lower. Fortunately, he had experience and put on his military coat in advance, otherwise he would definitely be frozen by the biting cold wind.

After leaving the station, he took the bus directly to Qi Yan's school.

After getting off the bus, Du Shaojie first found a guesthouse near the school, then took a shower and changed clothes before going out.

There were few decent hotels in various places these days. The capital was better, but they were far from being everywhere. The conditions of small hotels were too poor, so a better guest house was the best choice.

Qi Yan had no classes in the afternoon, so she spent the whole afternoon reading in the library and only came out when it was almost time for lunch.

There was a tall, thin boy wearing glasses who had been waiting outside the library for a long time. When he saw Qi Yan, he hurried forward to meet her.

"Qi Yan, you are in the library too? It's time for dinner. How about I treat you to shabu-shabu?"

The boy and Qi Yan are classmates in the same class. His name is Zhang Liang. His family is well off and he has been actively pursuing her recently.

"No, you go eat. I need to go back to the dormitory and then go to the cafeteria to eat."

Qi Yan was a little annoyed with this guy, but not only were they in the same class, they were also student union cadres, so it was not easy to quarrel with him. However, the rejection was already very obvious.

"We're just going to eat in the cafeteria, why don't you go back to the dormitory first and I'll wait for you downstairs?"

Zhang Liang pretended not to understand Qi Yan's meaning and continued to pester her.

Qi Yan didn't bother to pay attention to him and walked towards the dormitory building with big strides.

"Don't walk so fast, wait for me."

Zhang Liang walked away and caught up with them. Some classmates who knew him happened to see this scene and hid aside to watch the show.

Zhang Liang's persistence in pursuing Qi Yan has become a joke, but of course there are people who admire his shamelessness.

"Don't follow me. I can't go out to eat with you."

Qi Yan was so angry. Although Zhang Liang was persistent, he never did anything excessive. She couldn't find a reason to get angry.

Every time this happened, she hated someone especially. If he could come to see her, and they could walk around the school hand in hand, how could such a thing happen?

Seeing Qi Yan’s unfriendly expression, Zhang Liang shut his mouth, but still followed her from a distance.

Qi Yan almost couldn't help but turn around and kick him, but she suppressed her anger and didn't put it into action.

Zhang Liang has no idea how dangerous he is. If he really pissss off Qi Yan, I wonder if he can bear the consequences.
Arriving at the dormitory building, Qi Yan, who was about to hurry back to the dormitory, suddenly slowed down her pace. Her eyes fell on a tall and handsome guy, and she couldn't move them away.

"Shaojie!"

Qi Yan ran a few steps, threw the things in her hands to the ground, and threw herself directly into the arms of the handsome guy.

This handsome guy was naturally Du Shaojie. He smiled and hugged Qi Yan and spun around twice before they separated.

Zhang Liang, who was following behind, happened to see this scene and his face turned pale.

He thought that he would be able to impress Qi Yan with his persistence, but who knew that the goddess in his heart fell into the arms of another man.

"Yanzi, you haven't eaten yet? Come on, I'll treat you to a meal, and then we can talk slowly."

Of course Du Shaojie didn't know Zhang Liang, and he was too lazy to pay attention to the situation around him.

He first picked up the things that Qi Yan dropped on the ground, and then pulled her towards the school gate.

This was the most crowded time on campus, and the sight of them holding hands had broken the defenses of many boys who had a crush on Qi Yan. As for Zhang Liang, he couldn't stand the stares of others, so he went back to the dormitory to lick his wounds.

"You still remember to come and see me? Humph!"

"Stop whining. You've grown a pig's snout. Come on, I'll treat you to some mutton."

"Hmm? You're asking me to go to Shabu Shabu too?"

"What's the matter? It's so cold in this weather, it's perfect for eating mutton. I mean, who else wants to treat you to a meal?"

"No, no, no one is inviting me to dinner. Don't think too much." It was getting late, so Du Shaojie didn't take Qi Yan to Donlaishun.

But there are some good restaurants nearby. I randomly found one and ordered a hot pot, and it tasted pretty good.

The two drank two bottles of beer, but didn't ask for more, mainly because Qi Yan said it would be ugly if she drank too much. Du Shaojie didn't force her, and the two chatted about some trivial things, and no one mentioned Liang Meiqin.

After eating and drinking, the two strolled on the street in the biting cold wind.

Qi Yan naturally put her arm around his, and the two of them walking together really looked like a couple.

As it was too late, Du Shaojie did not ask Qi Yan to sit in his room. He was very careful here, as Aunt Chaoyang was not easy to mess with, so he was afraid of any problems.

"Yanzi, you should study hard. I will go around during the day to investigate the catering situation in the capital. We will have dinner together in the evening, and when you are resting, we can go out and play together."

This time, Du Shaojie really came to see Qi Yan, and at the same time, he went to some good restaurants to learn some tips.

Tasting delicacies from all over the world and extracting their essence will greatly help improve his cooking skills.

Anyway, he is not short of money now, and the source of his money can withstand investigation, so he doesn't need to be so cautious.

Having said that, these days, even if you have money, you have nowhere to spend it. You don’t buy cars or houses, you don’t have any young models in clubs, and you can’t see any luxury goods. What else can you do except eating and drinking?

"I'm not that busy every day. Tell me your room number and I'll come to the guesthouse to find you when I'm free. If you're not there, I'll leave a message."

Qi Yan was reluctant to leave the other person alone all day. Her current courses were not very tight, so she could still squeeze out some time.

She was really surprised that Du Shaojie would come to see her this time, but she didn't dare to make this guy unhappy.

"Okay, you can make your own arrangements."

Afterwards, Du Shaojie sent Qi Yan back to school.

Back at the guesthouse, he continued to train in simulated scenarios.

He treats this thing as a game and is really addicted to it.

The next day.

After getting up, Du Shaojie went out to have breakfast. He had tofu pudding, sugar-coated fruits, fried dough sticks, and some pickles. He enjoyed the breakfast very much.

After dinner, he continued to stroll around. He knew all the famous restaurants in Beijing and had visited them two years ago. He wanted to find some delicious local snacks, so he had an authentic [fried noodles with soybean paste] for lunch.

After returning to the guesthouse, he took a nap and then went to the simulation scene to perfectly reproduce the snacks he had eaten that day.

He was too lazy to go out in the afternoon, mainly because the weather was too cold.

As a result, Qi Yan came to his house. Du Shaojie thought about it and took her to Qianmen Street to eat roast duck.

"Shaojie, no wonder people always mention roast duck, it's delicious."

The two of them didn't finish the roast duck. Qi Yan didn't want to waste it, so she packed up the rest and took it back.

When she returned to the dormitory, her roommates looked at her with strange eyes and kept asking her what she and the handsome chef had done that day.

Qi Yan knew that some of them looked down on Du Shaojie and used to mock him, calling him a cook, but they only stopped talking when they saw that she was really angry.

However, these guys still looked down on him in their hearts.

"Humph! I won't tell you."

Qi Yan would never discuss this issue with them, and naturally there was no need to tell them that Du Shaojie was not only a top chef, but also had a flourishing business.

In the next few days, Du Shaojie took her to eat delicious food every day, and they tried almost all the famous restaurants.

Before leaving, the two went to a department store and Du Shaojie bought her a lot of things, including several sets of clothes.

"Swallow, go back. Don't see me off. You will have winter vacation soon. See you when you go back."

Du Shaojie waved, got on the bus with his travel bag, and headed straight for the train station.

In the week since he came here, he has not invited Qi Yan's classmates to dinner. After all, they all looked down on him, so it makes no sense for him to take the initiative to treat them.

His next stop was Chang'an, where there were countless snacks and delicacies, so of course he had to go and experience them.

He had been to Chang'an before, as the semi-finals were held there. But he didn't have time to go out and hang out at that time, so it was basically a wasted trip.

This time he still bought a hard sleeper, an upper berth.

After getting on the bus, he put his luggage away and sat on the lower bunk.

At this time, a woman came over with a large travel bag, and it seemed that she also had tickets for this row. She wanted to put the luggage on the luggage rack, but she seemed unable to do so.

"let me help you."

Du Shaojie stood up directly and put it away easily.

"Thank you."

Just now, neither of them paid attention to each other, after all, there were people coming and going in the carriage.

After the other party said "thank you", the two looked at each other, and then both Du Shaojie and the other party were stunned.

"What a coincidence!"

"It's a coincidence."

Du Shaojie now recognized that the other person was the girl who asked him for a light on the express train.

The girl's berth was the lower berth, and after the two of them sat down, they began to chat intermittently.
