Chapter 85
Chapter 84 – Transition
The train took nearly 30 hours, and it was already noon the next day when we arrived at the place. It was late autumn, and the weather in City C was so cold that you could only go out with a sweater on, but it was no different from summer here. There was a heat wave, Ji Chenli went to the bathroom and changed into a sweater, wearing only a jacket, still sweating from the heat.
A small city on the 18th line, with a population of less than two million, low prices and good air. A large river runs through the city, enclosing the city center into a circular island. Ji Chenli has visited this city several times before , I bought a second-hand house in a community built by the river. The owner of the house planned to immigrate abroad and would never come back again. He would not want all the furniture and electrical appliances. The house was decorated with taste. Ji Chenli picked up a house. It’s cheap, after completing the formalities, you can change the door lock, and you can just check in with your bags.
The community is also very close to Jichenli’s rented facade, less than five minutes’ walk, but the city itself is not big. Jichenli once tried it once, and it takes 40 minutes to drive from the busiest city center to the suburbs go.
There are restaurants next to each other near the train station, and as soon as they crossed the exit, there was a smell of vegetables. Ji Chenli didn’t eat much on the train, and stood at the exit with a grumbling stomach, and refused to take the initiative The driver of the black car who came forward to solicit passengers followed the signs and found the bus stop. The fare was one yuan, and Ji Chenli had a bus card, which was 20% off, and it was 80 cents. Small cities are great, you can feel happy by taking the bus.
When she got off the bus at the station, she dragged her suitcase with her bag on her back, found a rice noodle shop near the community, and ordered a bowl of noodle soup. The locals didn’t seem to like noodles, and the streets and alleys were full of rice noodle shops, so it was rare to see a noodle shop. One family, but I have to say that the taste of this noodle soup is really good.
After eating and drinking, she returned to her small house. The outdoor temperature made her a little out of breath. She slumped on the sofa and didn’t even bother to pick up her backpack. Safe, Tao Yuan was worried that she was outside alone, nagging and exhorting a lot, Ji Chenli smiled helplessly, “Sister, worrying too much makes you grow old, I don’t want to see you next time Then you will become a yellow-faced woman.”
“What yellow-faced woman?” Tao Yuan twisted his throat and scolded, “You really despise me for being a yellow-faced woman?”
“How dare you.” Ji Chenli repeatedly begged for mercy, “Sister, I was wrong, you will always be the prettiest.”
“It’s more or less the same.” Seeing that Ji Chenli still had time to joke with himself, he was probably in a really good mood, Tao Yuan was very happy, he was relieved, he gave a few more instructions, and closed the line.
After reporting to Tao Yuan, Ji Chenli started to tidy up the house. The original owner of the house had left the country a month ago, and the house remained as it was when he left. Ash, Ji Chenli packed all the clothes, bedding and other garbage left by the original owner and threw them into the trash can downstairs, wiped the mattress again, moved it to the balcony to bask in the sun to sterilize it, and finally put the sofa cover Take it apart, throw it in the washing machine to dry, and then mop the floor and wipe the furniture. After everything is done, the whole house looks brand new. Ji Chenli wiped his sweat pantingly, and looked out the window, the sun had already set.
Time flies by while working, and before she knows it, she is gone on the first day of her new life in this city.
There is a vegetable market next to the community. It is not far from the sea. The vegetable market has all kinds of aquatic products and seafood, and the price is not expensive. In order to reward himself, Ji Chenli specially weighed half a catty of shrimp and a catty of sixties, and bought two sea crabs , When passing by the live poultry stall, the boss asked the boss to cut up half a chicken, and was going to go back to make soup.
She hasn’t cooked for a long time, and her cooking skills are a little rusty, but the taste of the dishes is still good. She bought two cans of beer, and had a drink with the seafood meal just out of the pan. The cold beer slipped down her throat and reached her stomach. At that time, Ji Chenli squinted his eyes with joy, this is life.
Eating alone is a bit too quiet. Ji Chenli is drinking beer and turning on the TV. The news is broadcasting on the TV. It happens to be an interview with Ming’s new CEO. , looks quite like the head of the Ming family.
The camera swept around the press conference site, and Ji Chenli found that there was no sign of Minglang. Ji Chenli frowned, feeling a little strange, but soon, she relaxed her facial muscles, shook her head with a smile, and changed into another She felt that she had really let go this time, and she could finally laugh it off when faced with the matter about the Ming family.
Changed to a first-line satellite TV station, and it was broadcasting a palace drama of the Qing Dynasty. Ji Chenli also knew a few actors in it, and they all had contact with each other when they were filming. Ji Chenli remembered his WeChat account that he hadn’t used for a long time. Plus their friends.
Ji Chenli has watched most of the latest TV dramas on TV in her previous life, and some have even watched them several times. When the main character says a line, she can follow the next line. It’s boring to watch, so I just tuned to the children’s channel to watch. cartoon.
It’s not good to live it all over again, even watching TV series is boring.
A person’s life is very simple and easy to get used to. Ji Chenli spent two days getting familiar with the living environment, and after two days she started to talk about her breakfast shop.
All kinds of licenses have been obtained before, and the decoration of the facade has already been completed. Ji Chenli bought all the tableware and kitchen utensils, and picked a Monday morning for trial operation, and specially cleaned himself up. She was a movie queen in her previous life, so her foundation is not too bad. With a little makeup, she is a beauty that people can’t help but look at more often among ordinary people. Such a beautiful lady boss sells pancakes and fruits, and her popularity explodes on the first day. After leaving the shed, she was the only one who collected money and made change to make pancakes. She was dizzy and dizzy, and used up the prepared flour in less than half a day. There was still a long queue in front of the stall. Ji Chenli had to apologize They smiled, “I’m sorry, today’s pancakes are sold out, please come back tomorrow.”
There was a burst of disappointment in the crowd, but most of them didn’t come here for the pancakes. Many took out their mobile phones and took a lot of photos of Ji Chenli, and gradually dispersed.
Ji Chenli let out a long breath. She was so busy this morning that she didn’t even bother to drink. She ate two steamed buns for breakfast. She was so hungry that she cleaned up the shop, locked the door and counted the money. For a while, at this rate, I can earn back my capital in a few months and start to make a profit.
She locked her small shop and went to the noodle shop next door to order a bowl of noodle. The owner is a local, looks to be in his thirties, looks dark, smiles with white teeth, and congratulates Ji Chenli, “Sister, you know how to do business.” His voice was very loud, with the unique thickness of the locals, which shocked Ji Chenli a little bit, and he also smiled, “It’s not bad, the guests are welcome.”
The Mandarin of the locals has a strong accent, but Ji Chenli’s standard Mandarin is different. He knows that he is not a local. The boss is very enthusiastic and teaches Ji Chenli how to do business. , how to recruit small workers, etc., Ji Chenli secretly wrote it down in his heart, thanked the boss, and went back after eating the noodles, thinking that he would prepare more flour and ingredients tomorrow, and he had to find two helpers, otherwise she would be alone I’m so busy.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Ji Chenli opened the door the next day, he was stunned by the crowd of people at the door. Some of these people were carrying cameras, some were holding microphones, and most of them were holding up their mobile phones to take pictures. It’s only six o’clock in the morning, and it’s not yet bright. I really don’t know how early these people can get up before Ji Chenli can stop here.
When those people saw Ji Chenli’s appearance, they rushed forward and surrounded Ji Chenli’s small door dough. The camera wanted to shoot her face, and the microphone was almost stuffed into her mouth, asking a lot of questions The question was so noisy that Ji Chenli couldn’t understand a word.
Ji Chenli was annoyed by their noise, took a deep breath, and shouted angrily: “Stop it all!”
The crowd was suddenly quiet, they looked at each other, and finally all eyes were fixed on Ji Chenli in unison.
Ji Chenli forced a smile on his face, with blue veins popping up on his forehead, he gritted his teeth and whispered softly, “The original flavor of pancakes costs 3 yuan each, add another piece with eggs, and add another piece with sausage, thank you for your cooperation.”
Probably because the smile on Ji Chenli’s face was too scary, those people carrying camera microphones really honestly lined up to buy pancakes and fruits, and then guarded near Ji Chenli’s small shop, waiting for Ji Chenli to close the stall to intercept her.
Ji Chenli checked Weibo when he was not busy in the afternoon, and only then did he know the cause and effect.
It turns out that those who bought pancakes yesterday, someone posted her photo on the Internet, saying something like “the most beautiful proprietress”, and it became a trending search, and then someone found out that Ji Chenli used to be an actor, and even took pictures of her All the dramas were picked up. It is not easy to have such a big commotion in a small town, so several newspapers flocked out, and this has become the current situation.
“…” Knowing the cause and effect, Ji Chenli couldn’t laugh or cry, but this is also a good opportunity to promote his small shop. Ji Chenli simply accepted a few interviews with them, and made an advertisement for his breakfast stall by the way, so the market The proprietress of the breakfast shop next to No. 15 Middle School turned out to be a big star, and the news spread in the city that she was so beautiful. Ji Chenli’s business became popular all over the city just after it started, and even a TV station wanted to invite her to be a special host However, they were all declined by Ji Chenli.
Ji Chenli just wants to take care of her breakfast shop, and other things are out of her consideration.
…
Ming Lang had just finished her leg rehabilitation, leaned on crutches and slowly sat on her recliner to rest, groped on the coffee table, found her glasses and put them on, took out her mobile phone, clicked on the photo album, the mobile phone moved to the front of the glasses At a distance of two centimeters, he stared at the photo of Ji Chenli making pancakes.
She saved the photos on the Internet, the light is dark and the pixels are low, it was much earlier, but Minglang was so engrossed in watching that she didn’t even realize that someone walked into her room.
The person who came was Xu Luyang, who walked up to Ming Lang with a tray, “Mr. Ming, take your medicine.”
“Now Ming is always Ah Yan, Lu Yang, you can just call me by my name.” Ming Lang put down the phone and swallowed a few pills with water, “From now on, your boss will be Ah Yan, just follow her, you don’t have to. Come again.”
“Ming…Ming Lang.” Xu Luyang was not used to calling Ming Lang by his first name, and smiled, “I use my private time to take care of my friends, can’t I?”
Ming Lang took off his glasses, lay down on the recliner and closed his eyes to rest, “Thank you.”
Xu Luyang stood by the side and did not leave. Minglang lay down for a while, opened his eyes and turned to her, his eyes were out of focus, “Is there anything else?”
“Yes.” Xu Luyang nodded, “Ji Chenli is doing well in Nancheng, so you don’t have to worry.”
“I’m not worried.” Ming Lang raised his head, his eyes didn’t know where to look, and he said softly, “I’ve told you about her earlier, don’t ask about it, me and her… this is already the best ending.”
“Then what if Ji Chenli gets married again?” Xu Luyang asked.
Ming Lang’s pupils shrank visibly.
