I am studying and eating melons in Chronicle

Chapter 13
They went back to each house to freshen up, cleaned up the dust, and took their books. After dinner, they would listen to the news and read in Yunling's room. This seemed to be the regular evening activities of the three of them.

Yunling entered the space, took out a chicken and two catties of pork that had been slaughtered by the system robot in advance, and then looked at the remaining duck and goose meat and decided not to take it out, too much meat is hard to explain.

At present, her system space already has 160 acres of fields and more than 200 livestock - if it is not for the purpose of expanding capacity for upgrading, she will not buy new land and poultry every day.After all, the daily tasks only talk about planting and breeding, but it does not say that the newly purchased land and poultry and livestock must be planted and raised.

The upgrade index is still growing steadily during the process of saving and spending, and has reached about [-] points.

After all, most of what she bought were books and manuals at the middle and lower prices in the mall, so she spent very little.If she wanted to buy an ordinary facial light therapy device in the future world, it would probably cost more than twice her current savings.

The system also finds it strange that these books that the host regards as treasures are at most ordinary popular science books in its world. Children will find it boring to read it, but adults will find it old and simple after reading it.

But it also understands that this is a personal hobby.

For example, its last host was a beauty blogger in a modern-themed novel. She wanted to become a big blogger with peak traffic, so she exchanged expensive skin care products and cosmetics.

It also took a time-traveling girl in an 80s novel before, and the other party preferred modern electrical appliances, just to make money, and to make her quality of life meet future standards.

In fact, the system has a hidden setting, which is not even known to the system:

The upgrade index is linked to the degree of social contribution. If you want to truly complete the mission of the "character development system", you need to evaluate the degree of the host's contribution to society.

The greater the contribution to society, the more upgrade index you will get.

However, the zero-zero-zero system did not gain much in the previous novel world. Because of this, most of its hosts almost only pursue personal goals and meet personal needs, and have little impact on social contribution.

For example, the time-traveling woman could have used the system to put some documents and materials on the leader's desktop.
But the most she can do is to know the future history and then use the reform wave to become a millionaire. After all, once she participates in the change, the historical process she knew before will be lost.

This kind of consideration is also very realistic. Changing history means losing the golden finger of "prophecy", and anyone would hesitate.

So it's up to the host to choose or not.

But since the main intellectual brain acquiesces in this kind of behavior, it means that her actions are reasonable. After all, good deeds cannot be limited by heart standards, otherwise what is the difference from moral kidnapping?
Therefore, this hidden rule has not been figured out until now by the system, and even it doesn't know-why did the host's upgrade index double when he completed a task before?
The price for the host to buy a book is one-third of the price of an electric shock rod in the mall. Even Ling Lingling can tell that Yunling is a person with extremely low desires, and she hardly has other consumption behaviors except for books. .

The biggest expense was spending [-] upgrade index to buy an attack rebound device and put it on himself.

As for the "Antique Appraisal Mirror", "One-time Teleportation Talisman" and other items that are extremely precious in the eyes of ordinary people, Yunling slid past them without even looking at them...

However, Linglingling took a look at the steadily increasing upgrade index, and began to look forward to it in the future, it would be great if it was really used for exchanging entities for himself!
It is an excellent advantage that the host only loves to read books, saving money!

Therefore, Lingling also took many private actions to obtain those upgrade indexes, such as actively helping Yunling set up a program to automatically harvest farmland, slaughter and process livestock, and organize and place them in the system warehouse.

The time in the warehouse is stagnant for dead objects, which ensures that every item can be taken out as it is put in, and it will be kept fresh forever.

Yunling naturally noticed the system's benevolent actions, and also understood its small thoughts.

So in addition to exchanging books, she no longer makes any purchases.It also agreed with the system that in the future, [-]% of the agricultural products produced in the space will be directly exchanged for the upgrade index, leaving only enough for oneself to eat.

This surprised the system by bouncing up and down in space.

It knows what the host means, and the exchanged index host will definitely not run out, so the rest will be its own! ! !
Seeing the vast expanse of land in the space now, Ling Lingling is as excited as seeing the white flower's upgrade index, and working for the host is becoming more and more blatant and unscrupulous.

"Host, the newly picked fruits and grains from the orchard have been put into the warehouse, and the big fish grown in the newly dug fish ponds have been exchanged."

Yunling saw that Linglingling's two antenna tentacles were bent, and replied with a smile: "Thanks for your hard work, I will leave the affairs in the space to you in the future. Every time there are new books in the mall, I will buy one for me. I won't move on other upgrade indices."

"Ok!"

The system light group jumped up and down excitedly. This host may really exchange for an entity for himself in his lifetime, and maybe he can change a few more sets of skins.

Yunling's cooking skills have improved a lot these days. At the beginning, she was not very good at cooking, but after learning from Chu Silan for a while, at least she was able to cook the dishes so that she would not be hungry.

Up to now, she can still make some delicious dishes, which is a rapid progress.

However, when Chu Silan saw that she had taken a bunch of good ingredients, she still frowned, and took them away unceremoniously. Seeing her cooking skills, she seemed to be reckless.

"It's too wasteful to cook so much meat for you!" Then he drove her to the vegetable selection area to prepare vegetables.

Qian Li also went directly to the grain storage area next to the stove, dug a large scoop of white flour, put it in a porcelain basin, and started kneading, muttering softly, "We're not being polite to you!"

Seeing that she looked like a child, Yunling smiled helplessly: "Since you are invited to dinner, of course you have to open up and eat. I'll get you some rare things to eat later."

After finishing speaking, Yunling pretended to enter the small warehouse in the backyard—in fact, it was a newly built single room without a door, which was used to store firewood and briquettes.In the warehouse, she took out a bunch of fruits from the space, including cherries, grapes, lychees, and autumn pears, and put them in sacks to cover them up, and then handed them to Qian Li to see.

"Wow - where did you come from!"

Qian Li has never eaten this kind of fresh fruit since she left the capital. The ones sold by the supply and marketing agency are always stored for several days, and the moisture in the apples is not too much.

Ning Province, which is near cherries, has production, and grapes and autumn pears are also in season, but lychees are too rare!

Even Chu Songlan was curious: "Is this lychee from Guangdong Province? Why did you come here from all the way?"

Yunling pretended to explain profoundly: "There is a convoy that transports fresh fruits from all over the world. Each cart contains several large boxes of ice cubes to keep them fresh, and prepares to transport them to Maozi in the neighboring country for foreign exchange. The people in the convoy purchased a lot more in private. , sell it all the way to earn some extra money."

Many goods in the black market are sold by public buyers and private dealers. In fact, they are not allowed to speculate.

But the market demand is huge, just like a sentence quoted in Marx's Capital Theory: When the profit reaches 10%, some people are ready to move; when the profit reaches 50%, some people dare to take risks; when the profit reaches 100%, they dare to trample on All laws in the world; and when the profit reaches 300%, he is not even afraid of going to the gallows.

But Yunling didn't go to the black market, she just borrowed a name.

Chu Songlan has been there a few times, exchanging money for some receipts. The bicycle she just bought last week was bought with the bicycle ticket exchanged there.Now the three of them have their own bicycles, and it is much more convenient to go to the county to send errands.

But Qian Li didn't know the details of the black market, only heard it, but never seen it.

Seeing her confused face, Chu Songlan explained in a low voice. After hearing this, she widened her eyes and exclaimed, "You guys are so brave!"

But after looking at the fruit, he hesitated and said, "Take me with you next time, I want to eat some fresh fruit instead."

Yunling naturally agreed, but still said: "I won't go again in the near future, after all, this kind of fruit is only lucky to come across once. Usually, there are farmers who go to the mountains to pick wild fruits and sell them. Go up the mountain to collect herbs and I can bring you back some."

"Now this season is the time when the sand fruit trees bear a lot of fruit. If you are interested, Yunling and I will take you to play while collecting herbs." Chu Songlan also said the same.

Qian Li didn't dare to go up the mountain by herself. After all, she grew up in a small mansion in the city and had never been to the mountains.

And Yunling and the others were serious about collecting medicines, they basically followed the route purposefully and didn't wander around casually, so Qian Li didn't bother to move after following them once.

So this time, she only thought for a moment before agreeing: "Okay, I haven't gone up the mountain for a long time, I need to gather more firewood."

Chu Silan used this chicken to make boiled chicken, because she found that every time Yunling bought chicken, it was more delicious than ordinary chicken. It was fat and not greasy, tender and juicy, and the meat was just right.

Boiled chicken is one of the dishes that can best reflect the advantages of the ingredients themselves.

Rub the chicken body with salt to taste, boil it in a pot of cold water, and soak it in cold water immediately after cooking.

The sauce is also very simple: put an appropriate amount of oil in the pot, put a small handful of peppercorns in cold oil, fry on low heat until the peppercorns are dark brown, then filter out the peppercorns, and use the boiling oil for dipping sauce—in fact, chopped shallots and shallots , mince ginger and garlic, add two spoons of salt to the onion and ginger, an appropriate amount of chicken broth and a few spoons of soy sauce.

In this way, a dish of boiled chicken is ready. This is not the way of eating in the north.But Chu Silan is delicious, so I only learn a few dishes when I go to one place, and I have touched all the special cuisines in the north and south of the river.

Every time Yunling eats her food, she gives it the highest evaluation without hesitation.

She really admired Chu Songlan, a young woman who traveled all over the world, knew martial arts for self-defense, was proficient in Chinese herbal medicine, and was so good at cooking.Compared with others, it's not a big deal that I can only bury my head and study hard.

Qian Li was completely buried in the rice bowl. While dipping in the sauce and tasting the boiled chicken, she kept stuffing another plate of sauerkraut into her mouth. She was too busy to talk, let alone talk.

She swallowed the delicious chicken in her mouth, and said to Chu Songlan: "Sister Songlan, if I wasn't afraid of exhausting you, I would really like to pay for dinner with you."

Chu Silan didn't really mind, she cooks for one person, and it doesn't matter if there are multiple people.

"I'm not short of money."

Yunling heard other possibilities from this sentence, she pointed her fingers at the table, her eyes were as sly as a fox's, and she raised her hand to propose: "Silan, I also want to partner with you. I can serve vegetables, fresh vegetables and all kinds of meat I can get."

She had wanted to say that a long time ago, but she didn't want to trouble others.

Chu Songlan nodded in satisfaction, and then Qian Li immediately raised her hand and said, "I can deliver food for three people, usually fine steamed buns with noodles, and at least one meal of white flour or rice every three days!"

"Okay, then it's settled. Let's draw up a menu for a week. You two will prepare how many dishes and food we need in advance, and then come to my house for dinner at that time. We will take turns to wash the dishes, and you don't need your help to prepare the dishes." , After all, things are quite expensive."

She is also a straightforward person who does what she says.

The three of them planned to eat some home-cooked dishes in rotation. If they don't go to the state-owned restaurant for tooth festival on weekends, they will cook a hearty meal with Chu Songlan, including Sixi meatballs, braised hoof pork, stewed mutton and other big dishes.

"Thank you Comrade Silan!" Qian Li patted Chu Silan's shoulder pretending to be deep, with a serious expression on her face.

"puff--"

Yunling burst out laughing suddenly, amused by her pretentious performance.

It is rare for her to have such a vivid expression. Usually, the clouds are as light as the moonlight or the face is as expressionless as an iceberg. Now such a hearty smile looks like a 17-year-old girl should look like!

Chu Songlan's mature temperament inevitably caused the corners of her lips to curl up. Qian Li was already lively, and even pulled her smile a little bigger with her hands.

"Come on!" Chu Songlan didn't use any strength in her hands, so naturally she couldn't break free from Qian Li's clutches, and let her pinch her face back and forth.

Yun Ling followed along to join in the fun, scratching Chu Songlan's waist with her small hands, which made her unable to resist, and burst into tears of laughter.

The three of them fell down on Yunling's soft quilt, rolled into a ball, and fought with each other, and the cheers in the room continued to spread to the opposite side.

Shao Hua was writing a letter to her family, and she couldn't help but smile when she heard the laughter on the other side.

So he raised his pen and wrote:

"Everything is fine here. Once the supplies are sufficient, the family doesn't need to send money. Sister Yunling lives very well. She opened a rural clinic here to treat the villagers."

The tip of the pen paused for a moment, and continued to write the last sentence:

"Let Ji Qingyun not have to come to visit again."
