Chapter 24: It's a blessing
Xu Qing really thought about it for a long time last night, and after the thief made a fuss, he didn't feel much sleep, so he was lying on the bed and thinking about Jiang He.
It's very new to pick up an ancient person, but there are a bunch of visible and invisible troubles in life, like a time bomb, and you don't know when it will explode.
It's okay to stay at home, but after all, you still have to learn to live, and he can't raise this girl for a lifetime.
Take 10,000 steps back, even if his handsome and dashing appearance attracts Jiang He, and then the two of them are balabala...... She also has to get used to this world, and she can't become a waste like winter melon, except for eating and sleeping.
"Remember this day. β
Xu Qing arrived at the door of the breakfast shop and turned back to Jiang He, and then found a place to sit down and order.
Fritters and buns are side dishes, as well as porridge, which is standard for breakfast.
As the morning sun shines brightly onto the tables through the windows, the city begins to wake up and the breakfast shop has more customers to pack up or sit down to eat.
The two of them were eating breakfast quietly, and from the outside, there was nothing unusual, and no one could have imagined that this girl who was eating steamed buns came from ancient times.
Jiang He took a sip of porridge and raised her head to look at the street, her favorite thing in this world is all kinds of food, although she has never seen the emperor eat anything, but she can be sure that there are such delicious things as steamed buns and fritters, not even in the palace.
"If you can't eat enough, the porridge here is added casually, and the bun wants to eat herself, and she went over and told her to ask for a few, and I will settle the bill in a while. β
Xu Qing ate three buns and was already full, thinking of the sweat on Jiang He's forehead before going out, he estimated that people who practice martial arts have a big appetite, and informed Jiang He.
Jiang He thought for a while when he heard this, "Is this bun expensive?"
"It's not expensive, breakfast is the cheapest ......" Xu Qing whispered to her popular science, "There is basically no need to worry about eating here, if you are full, it doesn't cost much to eat only these, you can eat with confidence." β
If you don't go to a high-end restaurant for a big meal, you only usually eat these daily foods, and no one will be able to afford to eat them if you have a job or income.
Jiang He thought about it, got up and took a look at the place where he ordered, "Add ten...... Five buns. β
"Ahem...... Ahem!"
Xu Qing choked on a mouthful of porridge, coughed a few times, turned around, and added, "Packed!"
The cashier nodded and didn't say anything.
"Can you finish it?"
When Jiang He came back, Xu Qing couldn't help but ask.
"Almost...... Is it too much to eat?" Jiang He took the empty bowl and wondered whether to fill a big bowl of porridge to drink.
"Eating with confidence is eating with confidence, it's just ...... It's too conspicuous, keep the normal amount of food outside, pack it back and continue to eat. ...... It doesn't matter if you can drink two more bowls of porridge. β
"I'll pay you back when I make money playing games. Jiang He whispered, got up and went over to fill the porridge.
Xu Qing was noncommittal, and he didn't pay it back...... Just eat some food, can he still collect debts from an ancient?
The thick porridge is very pleasing to Jiang He, in her own time, drinking porridge is basically equivalent to drinking water, I have never seen this practice of more rice than water, even if the porridge of the landlord and the old rich family will be thicker, I dare not squander it like this.
When Jiang He drank three bowls of porridge and was almost enjoyable, the two of them went out with the packaged vegetarian bags - although they had breakfast before, they all ordered takeout, and Jiang He ate as much as he ordered, and he never said that he couldn't eat enough, and now he correctly recognized Jiang He's amount of food for the first time.
"I'll take you to the buffet another day. β
Xu Qing looked at the self-service hot pot restaurant in the distance, and estimated that Jiang He should like it very much.
"What's that?" Jiang He heard another fresh word.
"It's just to pay a little money, and then you can eat whatever you want in it until you can't eat it anymore - like the porridge just now, but there is not only porridge in it, but also vegetables, meat, and ...... I'll take you to eat it another day. β
"And such a good thing?"
Jiang He was surprised, "Is that a similar relief organization?"
"No, it's a very common restaurant, it's just a way of operating. β
Xu Qing lifted the bun in his hand, opened the bag and took out one to eat while walking on the road, signaling that she could also eat it, and said: "Most of the people here are engaged in mental work, like the emperor, sitting for a day, dealing with all kinds of things, basically don't have to work hard, so eat naturally less, if you eat these ten or twenty buns in the store, it will be very conspicuous, we have to keep a low profile."
In the same way, because we don't eat much, some merchants run this kind of shop, and pay some money to eat as they pleaseβwe can't eat much anyway, especially girls and children, and pay a hundred yuan to eat at most thirty or forty food, so that the store makes more than half of it. β
Jiang He understood a little when he heard him say this, "Some people eat a little bit and it's okay, and the money they earn from those who eat a small amount of food will come back?"
"Very smart!" Xu Qing was surprised by her IQ, you must know that when she was a child, she was taken by Xu Wenbin to eat buffet, and he also marveled at the good people of the boss for a long time, so that people can eat casually.
"But why do you want to eat if you have a small amount of food?" Jiang He couldn't understand.
"There are many kinds of food, and you can eat whatever you want, which is very convenient and satisfying, and you don't have to worry about ordering food or price. β
The two of them ate while walking on the road, Xu Qing ate eight minutes full in the store, only ate two and only carried it, and gave it to Jiang He to eat slowly.
For Jiang He, who is completely blank, no matter what she talks about, she is learning, although this world is complex, many things are intrinsically connected, and all aspects of life are combined to accumulate to a certain extent, which will always cause qualitative changes, making her suddenly have an epiphany about how this world works.
If there is demand, there will be supply, and existence will be reasonable, and finding out that "reason" is the right approach.
If you don't care about it, just stay away, it's probably not a good thing.
The concept of simplicity and rudeness is also what Jiang He needs most at present.
"Alright, you still have fifteen minutes to get rid of these buns. β
Back at home to see the time, Xu Qing said to Jiang He, then took out a bottle of happy water from the refrigerator and opened it to take two sips, "Start playing games at nine o'clock, and before twelve o'clock at noon, don't do anything else except drink water toilets - this is the normal life of most people, nine to five in the morning, let you experience it." β
"Most people?"
"Hmm...... Theoretically, it would be too difficult for you to enjoy 996 blessings. β
Xu Qing smiled, "After lunch at noon, you can rest until half past one in the afternoon, and then continue to play the game, and end at five in the afternoon. β
More than a month after coming to modern times, Jiang He suddenly came into contact with the 9-to-5 social animal life.
