Chapter 275: The Trivialities of Life (Revision)
After dealing with some daily things, Lin Ling took off his helmet and left "Eternity" ahead of schedule. [ Eight? ] δΈChinese γγ )]].]8γ1?
The entry of the Echo Barrier and the exploration of the Echo Gladiatorial Arena cost him a lot of experience, but the most important reason why he went offline early was that he needed to find some information and prepare for the battle for the Dungeon of Bane, which started at 2o:oo tonight.
In addition, this weekend will be the first offline challenge.
According to the contract signed with the organizing committee, Lin Ling and Gordon's Kitchen need to serve the contestants, staff and VIPs on the day of the challenge. The recipe he used in the past clearly didn't meet the needs of so many people, and he had to add something that was quick and easy to prepare and fit the theme of the challenge.
For this reason, the writing of "Varman the Great Magician" can only be postponed.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Lin Ling received a phone call.
"It's time to negotiate a new recipe." Little Gordon, who called him, didn't even have a polite greeting, but went straight to the point, "What kind of new recipe do you think we should prepare?" β
"It can't be too complicated, it can't be too simple."
Lin Ling was trying to talk to little Gordon about the new recipe.
Astronomy City in August is still like a big furnace, and it's hot to death. Even if the temperature of the air conditioner is adjusted to the lower limit that the body can bear, it still feels very hot, and the heat is crazy. He took a deep breath, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, took his bank card and walked out of the house, and asked little Gordon as he walked along the road, "What do you think of a new pancake with sizzling vegetables?" β
"Japanese?"
After hearing Lin Ling say the word teppanyaki pancakes, little Gordon's tone suddenly changed to the topic they were talking about as if it was a kind of dog food for people to eat: "That's not the food that normal people would choose." β
"I'm not trying to make Japanese-style teppanyaki pancakes." Lin Ling didn't care about little Gordon's vitriol, that guy had a serious prejudice against any food he didn't like, "Some people like to sit down and pretend to have a meal comparable to Gordon's kitchen in a tent set up in the open air, and some people like fresh and exciting food, I just want guests to see the standardized food production process." β
"Pipeline operation?" Little Gordon roughly understood what Lin Ling meant, once the so-called standardized operation of the cooking method of food appears, then the production process will definitely be simplified and brainless, increasing the fault tolerance, making its taste and production process as simple.
"Those apprentices should be up to your mind."
Gordon Jr. made it clear that he does not support and does not oppose.
"I'll look for you in Gordon's kitchen."
What Lin Ling wants is little Gordon's attitude, and he also knows that mentioning iron plate mixed vegetable pancakes is easy to remind people of Japanese or Korean, but so what?
The flavor of a dish depends entirely on the mindset of the chef who cooks it.
"Today's cleaning, you can come in through the back door, I'm in my father's office." Little Gordon was halfway through speaking, when he suddenly remembered something, and he said in a gloating tone, "Be careful Zhang Qiuya, she is also in the store, that old woman has recently entered menopause, and yesterday she scratched my father's face." β
"Oh! Domestic violence? Lin Ling imagined what kind of expression Little Gordon would use to ridicule Old Gordon, for Old Gordon's marriage, not only Little Gordon, but also Old Gordon's friends, relatives and family members are not very optimistic. They think that Gordon Sr. could divorce Zhang Qiuya again anytime and anywhere β according to Gordon Jr., they have already been divorced once before.
"Oh! Domestic violence! β
Little Gordon let out a malicious laugh: "I knew that kind of woman was like that. β
Lin Ling didn't say anything, after all, this was a housework of Little Gordon's family. He's an outsider and it's better not to interfere.
After a few more conversations with little Gordon about the toffee, he hung up.
Before going to Gordon's kitchen, Lin Ling took a detour to the bank, took 20,000 yuan from the aTm machine and put it in an envelope, and went to his uncle's house to visit his uncle, who was said to be sick.
Wu Jun is currently working for the former ace reporter of Tianwen City, who has the reputation of Ivy League.
In a sense, it can be regarded as working for Lin Ling.
Lin Ling felt the need to repair the relationship between Wu Jun and him a little, at least not to appear tense. He believed that Cousin Wu Jun would definitely not listen to his uncle, but for his aunt, he was still obedient.
His aunt has the wrong hobbies, and the most straightforward of them is money.
Money can do things that many people can't.
For example, reversing a person's impression.
When passing by the fruit stall, Lin Ling also bought two dragon fruits.
Dragon fruit is a tasteless fruit, but Lin Ling's aunt loves to eat this fruit. What he has to do today is to give up his face and go to his uncle's aunt's house to deliver fruits and repay part of the loan as if nothing had happened between the two families, and treat his uncle's illness.
Lin Ling's uncle's family actually lived not far from his house, only a 15-minute walk away. But the house he lived in was more dilapidated than Lin Ling's, after all, this was where their grandparents lived. After the death of the two elders, Lin Ling's uncle's family moved in openly.
He took the elevator that made a "click" sound on the way up to the 21st floor and knocked on the door.
Aggressive.
There was no response when he knocked on the door for the first time, so Lin Ling had to knock on the door a second time.
Syllable!
The door was opened from the inside, revealing a large white face.
"Auntie?"
If it weren't for the guy wearing the mask wearing a pair of old woman-style plastic slippers, Lin Ling might think that he went to the wrong person, in his memory, his aunt is not a person who loves to use cosmetics, and rubbing mahjong is also a little mahjong with a hair or two.
"It's Lin Ling."
Seeing that it was her man's nephew standing at the door, Lin Ling's aunt did not show the usual polite smile, but looked at him with the stern expression of an elder: "What, something?" β
"Where's my uncle?"
Lin Ling deliberately asked loudly.
"Ahem...... It's Lin Ling, right? Ahem. A stifled staccato cough came from the room.
"Would you like to come in and sit down?" Aunt looked at Lin Ling with an interrogative expression, she said whether she wanted to come in and sit down, but in fact, there was no actual action at all.
"No, I'm here to pay off the debt."
Lin Ling took out the envelope containing 20,000 yuan that he had taken out from the bank, and handed it to her under the stunned gaze of his aunt: "Aunt, please order it, if it's right, please give me a receipt." β
Lin Ling's aunt quickly opened the envelope and counted some money.
That's right, 20,000, it's really 20,000 yuan.
The white mask wrinkled like tree bark.
The so-called face-changing stunt is probably like that.
"Yo, brother-in-law and sister sent you money?" Aunt took a few steps back and gave Lin Ling a position. She wore a mask with a smirk as if she was entertaining guests, took the dragon fruit in Lin Ling's hand, and took out a pair of slippers for him.
A sneering smile flashed at the corner of Lin Ling's mouth.
Oh, such a snob.
"Old Wu, your nephew has come to repay the money, find out the IOU."
My aunt walked into the kitchen with dragon fruit and said enthusiastically, "Will you stay for lunch?" β
"Don't bother, I still have to go to work at noon." Lin Ling put on a very shy look and handed the envelope containing 20,000 yuan to his uncle who walked out of the back room, and he asked with concern, "Uncle, are you okay?" β
"It's an old problem. How are you doing? β
Uncle pretended not to care and pinched the envelope that Lin Ling gave him, and said angrily: "You can take this money back and keep it for your own treatment." β
"Death? The health is not good, and I like to have a hard face. β
My aunt hurriedly slapped my uncle on the back and gave a sharp face. She poured Lin Ling a glass of water, warm water.
Once Lin Ling is treated with the attitude of treating guests, my aunt will no longer pretend not to know Lin Ling's physical condition.
"This money ......"
My aunt cushioned the envelope, 20,000 yuan was not a small amount, she believed that this was the beginning of debt repayment, but she was also worried that this was the end.
"It's just a part, every month I pay back the same amount, and I ask my aunt and uncle to write a receipt." Lin Ling preemptively said before his aunt opened her mouth to find fault. After his aunt and uncle showed a listening look, he said as if showing off, "I recently joined a medical program, and the First Hospital of Tianwen City promised to treat my illness for free, and from about next month, I will send my share of the next month before the medical project starts." β
"Next time we call, we'll go get it." Lin Ling's aunt became even happier when she heard him say this, Lin Ling's health means that his parents have money to repay their debts, and their parents have money to repay their debts, which means that her family can get a lot of principal + interest. The happy aunt even poked the uncle who was buried in writing the receipt with her elbow, "Right, old Wu? β
"Huh? Oh, yes. β
His uncle handed the written receipt to Lin Ling with a sallow face.
Lin Ling looked at it, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He handed the receipt to his aunt: "Auntie, you can sign it below." β
"I'll sign it too? Yo, sister and brother-in-law are really careful, they are all a family. "My aunt thought that Lin Ling's parents taught him to do this, what would the child understand? She took the receipt and signed it underneath, "Actually, the interest rate isn't too high, is it?" At the beginning, my brother-in-law said that when he made money, he would double the ......"
20,000 off 15,000, not too high?
Uncle's face suddenly became extremely embarrassed.
And his aunt seemed to have done a great good deed.
Yes, borrowing one for two jokes, Lin Ling also heard his parents say it.
But jokes are jokes after all, and they are not written on paper and combined into any treaty.
But since my uncle's family wants to make a deal, so what's the matter?
They don't care about themselves, so why should they care about them? Do you care about Wu Jun's life and death?
Lin Ling decided to hide Wu Jun's affairs. With a faint smile, he looked at the pink pajamas his aunt was wearing, and asked as if he had no intention, "Auntie, your pajamas are made of silk?" β
"Of course, it's handmade, isn't it?"
My aunt had a smug expression.
Next to her smug expression was her uncle's weak expression. No matter how beautiful the vivid pink is, it can't hide the darkness within.
If you divide this old woman into two, the thing that is exposed inside must be black.
