The Growth System Comes at the Age of Thirty

Chapter 134 Contrast

It stands to reason that while eating, both parties should talk about some relaxed topics.

However, Chen Jingle saw that she was a little nervous, so he took the initiative to bring the topic to study and asked her about her recent studies.

"Ah? Scores? My English and political scores have basically stabilized at above 80, but the professional courses are still far behind."

Zhong Qing answered quickly.

Speaking of this, she suddenly became less nervous.

The handsome guy in front of her, in addition to being her blind date, more often than not, plays the role of her personal trainer for postgraduate entrance exams.

It’s so strict!

"If you can double 80 by the time of exam, you should be fine. As long as you keep it up, your scores in the next two professional courses will be basically stable!"

Chen Jingle nodded slightly.

This score is already very good among the postgraduate entrance exams.

It was supposed to be an atmosphere where a man and a woman were alone, having dinner and a date to enhance their relationship. Suddenly, the atmosphere changed and it turned into a professional knowledge assessment for the postgraduate entrance examination.

The strange thing is that both parties did not feel uncomfortable with this change in atmosphere, and even felt a little relaxed.

Ridiculously true.

Oddly enough, Zhong Qing became less nervous as soon as she talked about her progress in studying for the postgraduate entrance examination, and her answers became clear and logical.

How should I put it, my mood is calmer, my heart is not as pounding as before, but my attitude is more respectful.

Chen Jingle was left scratching his head.

At most, my buddy is your senior, not your teacher, so there is no need to be like this.

However, Zhong Qing seemed to be immersed in her own world and did not notice his hint, so she could only give up.

Until the food was served, both parties were chatting about knowledge topics related to the postgraduate entrance examination.

It feels more like a duo taking the postgraduate entrance examination, finding a place to study where there is food, and letting passersby hear and look at each other.

I said, buddy, this doesn’t seem to be a school canteen!

After the food was served, Zhong Qing finally reacted, her cheeks warmed slightly: "Well, let's eat first. We can talk after eating."

"It's okay, you can chat while eating." Chen Jingle smiled slightly.

What was served first were two portions of mutton pilaf and two portions of pot meat.

There's nothing much to say about the mutton pilaf. The crock meat is a mutton soup that contains a few pieces of mutton in an enamel cup and stews it until it's soft.

All very fragrant.

It happened that Chen Jingle was hungry, so he started directly.

…

Take a sip of the soup first. It's a bit salty and has a strong peppery taste.

I had another bite of mutton pilaf and it tasted okay.

Chen Jingle just saw the menu prices. They are a little more expensive than ordinary restaurants, but not much more expensive. If the taste of the dishes is not ruined, it is considered a success.

Many people come here to eat, mainly because they want to experience the taste of the Western Regions.

After all, you can't expect the citizens of Jiangbei to have the opportunity to go to the Western Regions 4,000 kilometers away to taste local delicacies.

As long as the taste is pretty much the same.

Judging from the cooking techniques, there should not be much improvement. It is very different from the local Cantonese cuisine, and overall it retains the characteristics of the Western Regions.

Chen Jingle was thoughtful.

"What are you looking at?" Zhong Qing couldn't help but ask when she saw that he kept staring at the food.

Chen Jingle looked up and said with a smile, "Oh, I was wondering how to make this dish."

"Can you tell?" Zhong Qing was slightly stunned.

Chen Jingle nodded: "Yes, well, look at this mutton pilaf. In addition to rice and mutton, there are also carrots and onions. They are called skin sprouts. There are even raisins. After a few more bites, you will almost know how it is made. The rice is so delicious, it must have been simmered for a long time.”

Will you know if you take a few more bites?

Zhong Qing was stunned: "Are you the Tongue of God?"

Chen Jingle laughed: "It's not as exaggerated as the one in Shiji. At most, I know what ingredients are put in and how to make it. Ordinary dishes are fine. If it is someone else's unique secret recipe, it may not be easy to reproduce."

Zhong Qing's eyes widened: "This is already an exaggeration. You can almost replicate it after just a few bites. I'm afraid not many restaurants can guard against you!"

After a pause, his eyes became a little weird: "Are you still looking at Shoji?"

What!

Chen Jingle was a bit dumbfounded: "Shokuji was serialized in 2012 and adapted into animation in 2015. I was still in college at that time. Isn't it normal to watch Shokoku?"

"Uh, I'm sorry..." Zhong Qing was embarrassed and at a loss.

In fact, the other person seemed to her to be too stable, mature, and knowledgeable, and he didn't seem like someone of the same generation.

So much so that she ignored that she had also been young.

Actually, he's not that much older, right?

A look of nostalgia flashed across Chen Jingle's face: "But I only watched the first season, and I didn't continue watching it. I don't watch animations much now."

"Why?" Zhong Qing was curious.

Chen Jingle said: "One is that I was busy with work before and didn't have so much free time. The other is that after that age, my mentality changes. Also, the quality of the animation industry is getting worse year by year. There are too many shoddy products and I can't arouse interest." . Even if you watch it, it’s like revisiting old classics, such as Tenor and Daily Life.”

"Indeed. I also like these two movies very much." Zhong Qing's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly.

When talking about animation, the conversation started again.

Zhong Qing didn't expect that Chen Jingle was still an old two-dimensional person, so... contrasting!

It can only be described as contrast.

It's like your graduate tutor, who is usually a serious little old man with a straight face in front of everyone, but one day you see him at a comic exhibition and cosplay a certain popular character you know.

Oh~~

…

The meal was destroyed bit by bit while chatting.

"Do you eat so little?" Chen Jingle looked at Zhong Qing's plate. The mutton pilaf was still a little unfinished, as was the pot of meat soup.

Zhong Qing smiled sheepishly: "I feel like there are already a lot. There are even fewer people in my dormitory than me."

"Why is there anyone who eats less than anyone else?" Chen Jingle laughed dumbly.

Zhong Qing looked at his plate, which was almost empty, and the stir-fried pork that was mostly destroyed not long after it was served, and asked, "Do you need to order more?"

"No, it's almost done."

Chen Jingle waved his hand: "You haven't even eaten a few pieces of this stir-fried pork, so it's all an advantage to me."

Zhong Qing pursed her lips and smiled: "As long as you like to eat."

"It tastes good, very fragrant."

Chen Jingle nodded in affirmation. In fact, the most delicious thing is this stir-fried pork.

Zhong Qing hesitated for two seconds and asked a more personal topic: "By the way, what are your hobbies at home?"

After Chen Jingle swallowed the food in his mouth, he said: "Raise cats, plant flowers, practice calligraphy and so on."

Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)

Zhong Qing's eyes suddenly lit up: "Is it the cat you told me about before?"

"Well, it's the one that I picked up after someone threw it outside before." Chen Jingle smiled.

"By the way, have you taken him to be neutered recently?"

"Uh, no."

Chen Jingle had thought about sterilizing the tiger cub before, but he didn't see it showing any lipstick, and he was worried that it would turn into a little **** without hooking up with the female cat, which was a bit cruel.

I never went.

Zhong Qing's face was filled with anticipation: "I haven't seen you share it on Moments. Do you have any photos of the kitten's current situation?"

"Yes, please wait." Chen Jingle admitted without hesitation.

He took out a piece of paper to wipe his hands, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened the photo album, found the category of cat photos, and handed it to her.

All taken recently.

"Not many, just a few."

"How old is it now?"

"Are you asking about weight or age?"

"Everyone wants to know."

"The weight should be twelve or thirteen pounds, and the age is less than eight months."

"Eight months, twelve or three pounds?!" Zhong Qing's eyes widened.

This is no longer an ordinary little fat cat.

When you're two or three years old, you can't weigh more than fifteen pounds? !

Zhong Qing was speechless: "How did you feed it to be so fat?"

Chen Jingle was helpless: "I don't know. I gave it whatever it likes to eat, and it grew very fast. Who dares to believe that it is only eight months old."

He was certain that he had never really learned the skills of raising pigs.

Zhong Qing was curious: "Are you feeding it cat food or rice?"

Chen Jingle said: "Wet food, the kind of chicken and duck meat with corn, he likes to eat it very much. I think it is better than the big-name cat food on the Internet."

"Pork, no wonder you are so fat."

Zhong Qing said with a smile: "I will definitely visit your home next time I have a chance."

Chen Jingle smiled and did not answer.

Although the tiger cubs can really do somersaults, well, that’s not necessary.

Let’s talk about it someday when it’s really necessary.

Zhong Qing didn't realize anything was wrong. She looked at the photo of the kitten and said with a smile, "Can you post some photos or videos of the kitten in Moments in the future?"

Chen Jingle hesitated for two seconds: "I actually don't like posting on Moments."

"You can send me private hair." Zhong Qing blurted out.

Chen Jingle blinked and smiled when her ears started to turn red: "Okay, I hope it won't affect your study."

Zhong Qing was relieved in her heart and waved her hands quickly: "No, no, just send it to me before going to bed. I will most likely have returned to the dormitory by then."

…

Pay the bill after eating.

As a result, as soon as Chen Jinngle took out his mobile phone, Zhong Qing was the first to cover the QR code.

After scanning, she smiled and showed him the payment record: "I agreed to treat you!"

Chen Jingle looked helpless.

"Do you two think the taste is okay?" the proprietress with a Western-style face asked with a smile.

No wonder people say there are many beauties there, with Reba taking three steps and Naza taking five steps.

Even the proprietress of such a small shop has better looks than ordinary people.

Zhong Qing smiled and said: "It's very good. It's the same as what I ate here before. It hasn't changed."

"Turns out I'm a repeat customer, thank you for your help." The landlady said in surprise.

Chen Jingle couldn't help but interject: "The pepper in the pot meat is a bit too much. I don't know if the sheep in the Western Regions also need to add pepper. As far as I am concerned, it is okay to add pepper to remove the smell, but Don’t add too much, otherwise it will cover up the flavor of the mutton. It would be better to reduce it by one-third.”

The landlady was stunned for a moment and nodded subconsciously.

Chen Jingle added: "There is also the stir-fried pork in a bag. It is fried very crispy after being fried in oil. I personally think it tastes better than beef. When beef is added with salt, cumin, and chili powder, it is very popular for people here in Jiangbei. The taste may be a bit strong. If you drink the salty pot broth with too much pepper, you will feel thirsty afterwards, so it is recommended to make the pot meat lighter. There is no problem. fragrant."
