Echoes from Tomorrow: A Rebirth Saga Novel Chapter 182

This barbecue restaurant is called Wine and Meat, and its main products are rice wine and beef.

The rice wine is complimentary and guests can drink as much as they want.

But the price of meat is not cheap.

Chen Jieyu looked at the menu and saw no cheap meat dishes.

She roughly estimated that the per capita consumption of this store was probably four to five hundred.

In other words, if two people come to have a normal meal, one thousand yuan will fly away!

This was a luxury considering her previous financial situation.

Now that we have agreed to pay Zachary Cheng 4,000 yuan every month, then this meal is extremely expensive.

But she knew very well that in terms of Zachary Cheng's economic situation and spending power, this price was nothing.

"Teacher Chen, the meat in this store is of relatively high quality, and it does use good ingredients." Cheng Yi introduced while looking at the menu.

In big cities, some dining places sell high-quality food, but the quality of the ingredients may not be that good.

Zachary Cheng felt that this store was worth the money.

Chen Jieyu nodded slightly, but her mind was thinking about how she would spend the rest of her life after this meal and where she should reduce her expenses.

Next month's living expenses will be cut by another thousand. I am afraid that all aspects will be reduced.

Zachary Cheng didn't consider the other party's financial situation at all. When ordering, he just ordered what he wanted.

Chen Jieyu hardly ordered much, saying that she always only eats a little bit for dinner.

This is actually true.

People who can't get fat no matter how much they eat are actually a minority among the minority.

If a woman wants to take control of her figure, she still has to rely on that sentence: keep your mouth shut and open your legs.

God did not give her many good cards, and she was born with a bad hand.

If she doesn't know how to maintain her beautiful face and figure, then she is really stupid.

Zachary Cheng saw that she didn't order anything and didn't say much.

After a while, the waitress walked into the box and brought a bottle of rice wine and two exquisite small cups.

"This is the signature rice wine provided by our store. You two can give it a try."

Just when Chen Jieyu was about to say no, she saw that Zachary Cheng had already picked up the wine bottle and poured wine into two small cups.

She actually has the habit of drinking every day.

Because she sometimes suffers from insomnia and sleeps very lightly.

By drinking a little wine before going to bed, she can sleep more soundly and soundly.

But eating alone with her students and drinking in the private room had never occurred to her before.

After the waitress left, Zachary Cheng pushed a small wine glass in front of Chen Jieyu, and the other one picked it up and took a sip, nodding with satisfaction: "Well, it still tastes the same."

He often came to this store in his previous life.

"Teacher Chen, I personally think the rice wine in this store is very good, and it is also the store's signature. The wine is free to drink, so you can drink as much as you want."

"The wine glasses and flasks are also handmade by the boss and his wife. If you like, you can take them away after the meal." He smiled.

Chen Jieyu nodded slightly, looked at the small wine glass filled with rice wine, and slowly circled the rim of the glass with her fingers, as if she was thinking about whether to drink it.

But when she thought about how expensive this meal was, why not drink something for free?

The cups and flasks are also very nice and can be taken home, and can also be photographed as material for Moments.

She picked up the cup, took a small sip, and found that the taste was indeed good. The alcohol was not very strong, and it was quite fragrant, with a slight sweetness.



"Let me tell you first, this wine doesn't feel like anything when you drink it, but it has great stamina." Zachary Cheng said directly.

"However, some alcohol will make you feel uncomfortable after the aftereffect, and it will last for a long time. It's okay, just take a sleep and it will be fine. The alcohol dissipates quickly, which is like this for me anyway." He also conducted a Bo added.

Chen Jieyu nodded. She never thought about drinking a lot anyway.

She believed that she was not the kind of person who would get drunk and vent her feelings when she was in a bad mood.

When the barbecue was served, she took the initiative and said, "I'll grill it."

She eats less herself, so if she is responsible for grilling meat, she can use her chopsticks less.

Zachary Cheng didn't come to be polite to her, and the two just chatted while eating.

Occasionally talk about things in the class, and occasionally talk about game projects.

"Where is the teacher from Sichuan Province?" he asked.

Chen Jieyu reported a place, but Zachary Cheng had never heard of it.

Looking at his expression, she said: "It's a small place, relatively remote, but the scenery is pretty good."

"By the way, when Teacher Chen went home for the National Day, did you go and scold your brother who got into trouble?" Zachary Cheng said with a smile, as if he was trying to make trouble.

When Chen Jieyu heard this, her eyes under her gold-rimmed glasses dimmed slightly, she just nodded slightly, and then drank the rice wine in the cup.

"Seriously, if you hit someone while riding a motorcycle, you will have to pay 60,000 yuan in compensation. It must be a pretty serious accident." This doggy man was talking to himself.

After saying that, he continued to pour wine for the other party, and said very directly: "Is it because of this matter that you are worried?"

When they were in the corridor earlier, he and Chen Jieyu pointed out that her eye makeup was messed up. In fact, it was equivalent to laying the groundwork. Now they can talk naturally.

This is telling you to touch up your makeup before eating, just like saying you have something on your face. It is a very common reminder.

But it also hints that I have discovered your strange emotions.

Of course, he deliberately didn't mention the "stained eye makeup" until after the dinner date was arranged.

Anyway, you have been exposed in front of me, so you can naturally start to go deeper at this time.

"That's right." Chen Jieyu lowered her head and subconsciously continued to circle the rim of the wine glass with her index finger.

"Has it been resolved?" Zachary Cheng asked.

"It's over now." Chen Jieyu picked up the tongs again and started grilling Zachary Cheng.

"Well, congratulations, how about one?" He grinned and picked up his wine glass.

"Congratulations?" Chen Jieyu felt a little bitter in her heart.

But she still picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Zachary Cheng, and then drank the rice wine in one gulp.

Sometimes, this is the price you pay for being stubborn and unwilling to speak your mind to others.

Others' unintentional words may hurt you deeply.

Of course, Zachary Cheng didn't do it unintentionally.

He just came here to prick your heart.

After the two of them drank a few glasses of rice wine each, and there was a barbecue oven in the small box, they both felt a little hot.

Zachary Cheng took off his coat, and Chen Jieyu also took off her casual women's suit.

She was wearing a silk shirt underneath, which was a material close to the skin. It could outline the curves of her slim body and bring out the mature charm of her body.

At this moment, her cheeks were slightly red, but it was not very obvious.

But this is enough to reduce her somewhat serious and ascetic temperament to a certain extent.

At this time, Cheng Zhucai said to her: "Teacher Chen, I am not selling the store because there is a real funding gap for the game project. I just need a reason to sell the store. Please remember to keep this a secret for me. I will only tell myself about this." Man, you are also the instructor of our project, right?"

"Huh?" Chen Jieyu felt a little less stressed after hearing this.

In other words, Cheng Zhufei is not short of money. After selling the store, he will have millions more on hand and will be very rich.

Then, at least they won't come to you to urgently collect debts.

In this way, we can maintain the initial agreement to pay him back 4,000 yuan every month, and then see if we can pay back the remaining part when the bonus is paid at the end of the year.

But when she thought of this, Chen Jieyu began to feel a little uncertain again.

Because it was Chinese New Year this year, she didn’t know where she would go.

If you are staying alone in Hangzhou, it is actually better to keep more money in your pocket.

As soon as I thought of this, a surge of sadness came to my heart again.

I had a good idea and paid off my energy debt years ago, so that I would be debt-free.

It's good now, I don't know how to spend this year.

Originally, if these things had not happened, her plan was to take her mother and brother to a less popular place to play for a few days during her annual vacation.

Because in her memory, the Chinese New Year period was often the period when that man drank and played cards most aggressively.

He would drink with that group of friends every day and play cards together every day.

If he drank too much and lost money, he wouldn't care about losing his temper during the New Year.

Just when her thoughts were swirling, she heard Zachary Cheng's voice: "Teacher, are you drunk too much or are you distracted?"

"Well, I was a little distracted, thinking about something."

"You looked confused just now. I don't think you've had many drinks." He poured the wine and asked, "Do you usually drink?"

"Sometimes I drink a little red wine before going to bed to help me sleep."

Why drink some red wine before going to bed? It sounds pretty cool. But only she knows how cheap the red wine is.

"Then it doesn't look like you're drunk. Are you really confused?" Zachary Cheng said as he put meat on his plate.

Chen Jieyu looked at him and saw the relaxed expression on his face, and couldn't help but want to say a few more words.

"You and I are of different ages, so sometimes our situations are different, and the things we think about and worry about are also different." Chen Jieyu said.

"I understand, many people in small cities get married early, and their families will urge them to get married, right? When they go home for the National Day, they will urge you? Are they forcing you to go on a blind date?" He started to talk nonsense.

Sometimes, when others are talking to you, they hold back and refuse to talk. If you just throw out a few random words, she might not be able to bear it anymore.

"That's not it." When Chen Jieyu heard that he was talking about urging marriage, she felt a little bit dumbfounded.

She lowered her head, looked at the wine glass, and began to circle her fingers along the rim of the glass. She did not look at Zachary Cheng, but muttered:

"You are still studying in college at your age. You will have classes to attend every day, and your life will be planned because of your studies."

"In many students, I can feel their vision for the future."

"So you may not have some of the feelings I have at this stage, that is, sometimes you feel confused whether it's work or life."

"But I have a clear understanding of my own abilities and my current situation."

"Sometimes, there is even a feeling of not being able to see the future."

"Really?" Zachary Cheng glanced at Chen Jieyu.

He picked up the small flask and poured wine into his glass. While pouring, he lightly stabbed her in the heart:

"What do I think - many people say they cannot see the future, but in fact they can see the future."
