I'm The Hard Rice King

Chapter 22 How to get a long-term meal ticket

Li Peifeng currently rents a house with two bedrooms, one living room and one bathroom, 83 square meters, with a monthly rent of 5,000. He usually only uses one bedroom, and the other bedroom is used by him to store clothes and other sundries.

I had rented with someone before, but although my rent expenditure was less, there were various inconveniences, so Li Peifeng finally chose to live alone.

But now that Wu Wenyue had no house to live in, he would definitely have to lend a helping hand.

After arriving home, the two made room in the bedroom, and then went to Wu Wenyue's previous rental house to move their luggage. They worked all afternoon and finally got everything done.

"I've finished notifying the landlord. Here is the key. My brother will settle the accounts. From now on, you will pay 2,000 for the monthly rent. I will pay for the water, electricity and winter heating bills, but you have to be responsible for cleaning the whole house twice a week, okay?"

"No problem, thank you." Wu Wenyue nodded: "I'll treat you to dinner tonight. What do you want to eat?"

"Save some money, come and cook, buy whatever you want and cook at home."

Li Peifeng waved his hand nonchalantly: "I'm going to code."

…

It is impossible to code words. If the assessment task cannot be completed in one day, Li Peifeng will have to worry about it for one more day.

Returning to his bedroom, he took out the small black bottle from the drawer of his computer desk.

[Perfume·Breath of the Underworld]

It was pitch black with a hint of blue, and there was no other color. Turn the bottle and the liquid inside flows slowly and seems to be more viscous than water.

"It doesn't look very magical."

Li Peifeng observed for a long time, but still didn't find anything special.

He had been frightened by the description of the perfume before, and wanted to buy a gas mask and conduct experiments on mice to make sure it was harmless and test the efficacy before using it.

But now, the system says that this thing can improve the probability of completing assessment tasks and is an extremely important prop. This clue slightly dispelled Li Peifeng's alertness and heightened his curiosity.

"The mask and the guinea pig are still on the way. It will take two days to arrive."

"I can't wait any longer!"

Li Peifeng thought for a while, got up, locked the door, and opened the bedroom window...

Two minutes later, Li Peifeng, wearing a heavy down jacket, dozens of layers of masks and anti-blue light glasses on his face, and gloves on his hands, unscrewed the cap of the perfume bottle fully armed.

Li Peifeng sniffed the air in the bedroom and didn't smell any special smell, so he simply planned to pour it out.

This perfume did not have a nozzle, so Li Peifeng just carefully poured a little on the toilet paper and watched the liquid gradually dissolve...

"It still doesn't taste good."

Li Peifeng gradually began to take off the mask, layer by layer, until he had taken off all the more than ten layers of masks, exposing his nose to his breath, but he still couldn't feel any fragrance.

As a last resort, Li Peifeng took off his gloves, took the risk of picking up the toilet paper sprinkled with perfume, put it under his nose, and sniffed it gently.

Three seconds later, his expression changed from cautious to confused.

"Did you expire or did I get rhinitis?"

"Why do you smell like the air?!!"

…

"Click."

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Wenyue returned to the apartment after buying groceries. Seeing that Li Peifeng's door was still closed, she ignored it and went to the kitchen to wash vegetables and cook.

She is not unfamiliar with this kitchen and knows the seasonings and the positions of the pots and pans very well.

In the past, Li Peifeng often invited friends to come to his home for dinner, where they had hot pot, BBQ, and a few drinks of white beer. It was basically him and Wu Wenyue who cooked.

"Make boiled pork slices, steamed turbot, stir-fried beef with broccoli, winter melon and pork ribs soup..."

Wu Wenyue, who had moved to a new home, was a little excited and was busy in the kitchen. However, after cooking for a while, she found that the dish was a bit too much and it seemed that the two of them couldn't eat it.

"Should you call Man Ning?"

"Forget it."

The thought flashed through Wu Wenyue's mind without hesitation.

"She was as angry as a puffer fish when she found out that we were living together!"

"Don't talk about eating after she comes, she will knock over the dining table!"

Wu Wenyue was also troubled by the complicated and awkward relationship between the three of them.

Is it Li Peifeng’s fault?

Wu Wenyue knew that in fact, the other party did not want to develop a relationship with Xu Manying and bear the reputation of poaching friends, but the latter was too proactive.

No one can stand the kind of person who is so proactive that he can bend his former straight self.

Is Xu Manying to blame?

There is indeed a bit of resentment, but since the other party has already sent a signal of reconciliation to me...

If there is an opportunity in the future, the three people should sit together and talk formally.

While his thoughts were swirling, the meal was ready. Wu Wenyue put the bowls and chopsticks on the table and casually shouted: "Pei Feng, it's time to eat!"

Ten seconds later, Li Peifeng frowned and walked out of the room. When he saw a table of dishes, his expression gradually became soothing: "So rich?"

"It's the first meal after moving into a new home."

Wu Wenyue took off her apron, filled a bowl of rice and handed it to the other party, then sat down and started eating.

"Yeah, delicious!"

[Wu Wenyue gave food as a gift (converted to 145 yuan in money), and the host has 16959 left before the lottery starts...]

Li Peifeng nodded while eating. After seeing the system prompts, he suddenly found that he had solved another hidden danger by mistake.

That is, even if you spend all your soft rice coins in the future, you don’t have to worry about starving to death!

Wu Wenyue, who lives with him, is a stable long-term meal ticket.

If she can contract three meals a day for the two of them in the future, she will save herself money on meals.

"What an unexpected bonus!"

Li Peifeng was slightly surprised, but the question was, how to persuade the other party? Reducing rent is probably not feasible.

Although I had previously reduced her rent by 500 yuan per month, the condition was that the other party was responsible for cleaning the house. If the fee is reduced by another thousand or eight hundred and the other party is responsible for cooking, the system will definitely not recognize it. That is a transactional relationship...

"It seems that I can only shamelessly rub it in. When she prepares the meal, I pick up the bowl and eat it. How can she hit me?!"

Li Peifeng nodded secretly and offered a series of rainbow farts: "Brother Yue, Brother Yue, your cooking skills are so good! The delicacies and delicacies are nothing compared to your cooking! I really admire you!"

"ah?"

Wu Wenyue was confused for a moment, and then he chuckled: "It's not bad. If it's delicious, just eat more."

"Aren't you humble? The boiled pork slices in front of you have all the sour, sweet, bitter and spicy flavors, and all the flavors of life are in it!"

"Really? I remember you said before that my cooking skills are only suitable for making instant noodles? The kind that can't add eggs!" Wu Wenyue looked suspicious.

Li Peifeng pretended not to hear, picked up the beef on the plate, and said exaggeratedly: "Wow! Look at this stir-fried beef with broccoli! Your knife skills are as exquisite as a chef cutting beef! Look at this turbot fish, the moon is carved into the clouds It’s really unique! And this pork rib soup..."

Li Peifeng took a sip and said intoxicatedly: "It's as if the sweetness of love, the saltiness of hard work, the bitterness of frustration, the sourness of grievance, and the spiciness of peak are mixed in proportion, and poured onto a person full of infinite desire and hope for life. It's so good. Eat it!!!”

"cut."

Wu Wenyue was also vaguely aware of the other party's sinister intentions, and curled her lips and said: "Save it, I won't cook in the future. It's too time-consuming, just go to the school cafeteria, it's clean and hygienic."

Li Peifeng was very disappointed: "Isn't it? Brother Yue won't cook for me in the future? It must be something I didn't do well! I'm sorry, Brother Yue, I apologize to you."

The secret skill of tea talk is activated! !

"Are you sick?"

Li Peifeng sighed: "I'm not sick, but I really want to eat the food cooked by Brother Yue. Is it Xiaofeng's fault? Why don't you cook for me?"

Wu Wenyue's eyes widened: "Beast, can you please use your magical powers? Are you going to do this with me?!"

"Don't talk about people like that. I'm just not very good at taking care of myself. I really hope someone with such good cooking skills as Brother Yue can take care of me..."

"Where's my luggage? You tell me I'm leaving again! I can't live in this shared apartment at all!!"

"No, brother!"

Li Peifeng grabbed Wu Wenyue's hand and said affectionately: "I know cooking is very troublesome. It's right for Brother Yue not to want to do it, and I don't want to embarrass my brother. But just thinking about my brother's cooking in the future, I wash dishes and I can eat the food cooked by my brother every day, which is very romantic and very happy."

"...are you forcing me to hit someone?"

The corner of Wu Wenyue's mouth twitched: "Why are you having a seizure today?"

"Brother Yue, do you want to fight Xiaofeng?"

Li Peifeng pretended to hesitate, then simply let go after a few seconds, stretched out his face, closed his eyes and said fearfully: "If my brother makes me happy by hitting Xiaofeng, then go ahead! But don't hurt yourself!"

"Wori..."

"No more than one meal a day! Did you hear that?!!"

Wu Wenyue gritted her teeth with hatred and rubbed her hands at that handsome face. This move directly caused Li Peifeng to grin and break his skills.

"Fuck, just one meal, stop pinching me! If you pinch my face, you will be the damn sinner!"

"It feels pretty good, and your skin is smoother and softer than mine. You are such a pervert..."

Wu Wenyue retracted her hands with some reluctance, and continued to eat, but after eating for a while, she sniffed hard, and her eyes suddenly became a little confused: "Did you smell a fragrance? It's not the smell of food. "

"What scent?"

Li Peifeng looked nervous and his hand holding his rice bowl froze.

"that is……"

Wu Wenyue first sniffed her hands, then looked at Li Peifeng in confusion, and finally walked around the dining table and came to him, bending down to smell his neck, cheeks, and even his hands, her expression gradually changed. Doubt turns into obsession mixed with excitement...

"That's what it tastes like!"

Something's wrong with you! Something is very wrong!

Li Peifeng didn't dare to move, as if facing a formidable enemy: "Are you okay? What do you smell? Please describe this fragrance!"

"like……"

Wu Wenyue took his hands, put them under her nose, and took a deep breath.

"Hiss~ha~"

Li Peifeng didn't dare to move. He just glanced around, thinking about how to escape safely.

Fortunately, Wu Wenyue's eyes seemed to return to normal after taking four or five breaths, and she couldn't help laughing when she looked at Li Peifeng as if she had seen something happy.

"Xiao Feng, you look like a big orange doing pole vaulting in the sea!"

It seems to me that you are trying to eat me like a pre-dinner fruit!

Li Peifeng's aversion to cold persists...
