Chapter 16 Invitation

This vegetable market is about a little over a kilometer away from Suzhou University, and less than a kilometer away from where Li Jie lives. He has the talent of 'Writing Wheel Tongue'. If Li Jie doesn't make good use of it, wouldn't he be blinded in vain?

Lao Tie’s identity.

Li Jie still thought that he could get this talent when he returned from this mission. Li Jie would never treat him badly when it came to food. After entering the dungeon for more than half a year, Li Jie's footprints were left in the streets and alleys of Gusu City.

Just for one bite, with his almost photographic memory and the talent of 'Sharing Tongue', Li Jie will be able to 100% copy the delicacies he has tasted, or even better.

The ingredients, heat, and seasonings are all the same. Li Jie's ability to surpass his opponent relies on his knife skills and internal strength. After practicing hard for more than half a year, Li Jie's internal strength is no more than the thickness of a matchstick, so he is a bit weak when it comes to fighting, but he can handle some ingredients.

There's no problem, it's just that the quantity is a bit small.

Meat products can only be processed less than half a kilogram, and they are tiring to handle. The most suitable amount is about three taels, which can satisfy the appetite without making you too tired.

Glancing at Su Mingyu who looked hesitant, Li Jie smiled softly.

"Let's go."

After that, she stepped into the vegetable market without waiting for Su Mingyu's response. People have inertia. If it were any other time, Su Mingyu would never follow Li Jie. But today, she accidentally bumped into the quarrel between Li Jie and Bai Le'an, which made Su Mingyu

Subconsciously I felt a little ashamed.

That's why Li Jie took the opportunity to ask for a meal, and then took Su Mingyu step by step to the vegetable market. Su Mingyu had become accustomed to following Li Jie step by step on the way there. Coupled with the guilt in his subconscious, Li Jie

There is a 80% certainty that Su Mingyu will follow instead of leaving.

'really!'

Hearing the familiar footsteps behind him, a faint smile appeared on Li Jie's lips.

The most important thing about ingredients is freshness, especially after Li Jie has this kind of tongue. Once certain ingredients have been left for too long, it will be difficult to eat. This is why Li Jie doesn't eat out very much.

For more than half a year, Li Jie has come to the vegetable market almost every day. The owner of the stall is very familiar with him, because every time Li Jie picks the freshest ingredients at their stall, sometimes he

We also order some rare ingredients that are not often sold.

"Tiandong, come and take a look. The grain-fed cattle that just arrived today have the best parts reserved for you."

"Tiandong, come on, come on, come on, there is still one free-range chicken brought from my hometown in northern Jiangsu Province, specially reserved for you."

As the two of them walked along, all the bosses at the stalls kept saying hello to Li Jie. Su Mingyu was a little curious as to why Li Jie had such a good relationship with this group of vendors. Li Jie stopped to respond from time to time, at the stall where he purchased ingredients.

I will stay longer, and even if I don’t buy anything at some stalls, the stall owners will not be angry, but will be patient and exchange a few words with me.

The reason why these stall owners greeted Li Jie with smiles was that, in addition to Li Jie's usual generosity, the most important thing was that he helped them solve a problem. Some time ago, Suzhou City launched a special operation to combat food safety. At that time

Boss Yang, who sells beef, was deceived by his supplier. Some of the beef he sold were sick cows.

Boss Yang didn't know about it at the time, but Li Jie saw something was wrong at a glance, and immediately reminded the other party that Li Jie was "tough-tongued" and had a sharp eye. The merchants in the wet market knew about this. After being reminded, Boss Yang immediately gave it away.

A group went for testing, and the results were no surprise; they were really sick cows.

Fortunately, the batch of beef had not yet been sold, which allowed Boss Yang to escape. Boss Yang has been setting up a stall in this vegetable market for a long time. He is generous and helpful. Many businesses have been favored by him over the years.

, Li Jie helped him escape, so this group of people were particularly enthusiastic about Li Jie.

Li Jie saw Su Mingyu looking confused, so he told her this story while buying groceries.

After a while, Li Jie bought the ingredients needed for tonight. The two of them couldn't eat too much, so they simply bought some beef, pork belly and seasonal vegetables.

This was the first time that Su Mingyu came to the residence of a boy who was not a relative. The house where Li Jie lived was very simply decorated and the area was not large, about seventy square meters, with one bedroom and one living room. Li Jie chose this house after careful consideration.

Living in such a house for a 'poor' student is already beyond the standard. As for the house provided by Shi Mu, Li Jie would definitely not live in it.

Half of the living room was transformed into a gym by Li Jie, filled with various fitness equipment. The remaining half was a study and dining room. The bookshelf opposite the dining table was filled with books. Su Mingyu took advantage of Li Jie's busy time in the kitchen to secretly

I briefly browsed through the bibliography. There were books on literature, history, finance, and computers. There were also a few English exam materials in the corner.

Su Mingyu was very familiar with those books. They were materials for preparing for the TOEFL exam. TOEFL was a must for studying in the United States. Su Mingyu was still using the review materials left by his elder brother.

'Is he also going to America?'

"Su Mingyu, there is no TV at home. If you are anxious, just find a book and read it."

Li Jie's voice came from the kitchen. With the owner's permission, Su Mingyu casually took out a TOEFL test material from the bookshelf.

The book is full of densely packed small words, which proves that the owner of the book did not just flip through it, but read it carefully. In some parts, the notes she remembered are even better than those written by her elder brother Su Mingzhe.

'It seems that he is really going to the United States. It's great to be able to do whatever he wants!'

Li Jie carefully prepared three dishes and one soup, tomato beef brisket, braised pork, stir-fried vegetables and radish pork ribs soup. It looks like ordinary home cooking, but in fact it contains a lot of things. The portion is actually quite large. That's because Li Jie has a lot of rice for martial arts training.

It has always been very big, excluding the amount he usually eats, it should be just enough for Su Mingyu to eat alone.

Su Mingyu was obviously a little surprised when she saw the size of the dish, and Li Jie explained with a smile.

"I have a big appetite and usually eat a lot. Don't worry, I can finish it."

Li Jie casually glanced at the book in Su Mingyu's hand and said casually: "You are reading this book. Are you also preparing to take the TOEFL test?"

Su Mingyu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Are you also going to study in the United States?"

This time Su Mingyu didn't answer, Li Jie smiled and said nonchalantly.

"It's okay. Since you don't want to tell me, I won't ask. I don't know whether I will go or not. After all, the expenses there are relatively high and the money saved from working is not enough."

Seeing Su Mingyu's unbelievable look, Li Jie smiled and explained.

"Isn't it unbelievable? In everyone's impression, my family should be very rich, right?"
