I awakened the cultivation panel.

Chapter 25 The First Time I've Tryed So Hard

In the afternoon, Chen Jingle went out to pick up a package.

The cat food and deworming medication I bought online have arrived.

After receiving it, first treat the little long-haired dog for parasites.

Those cat fleas and ticks can't hurt me, but they're annoying to look at.

After the fipronil was sprayed on, it disappeared completely very quickly.

This stuff is incredibly effective at killing insects; it kills them instantly upon contact, even flies and cockroaches. And its toxicity to cats, dogs, and humans is negligible.

It's super easy to use.

There aren't many people promoting this online because it's cheap and there's not much profit margin; most people are promoting all sorts of random insect repellents.

Chen Jingle sprayed every corner of the house again, making sure there were no missed spots.

Once you start keeping a cat, various parasites will appear in your home, so it's best to disinfect regularly.

Even if they aren't parasites, in rural areas, at the foot of mountains, with ponds nearby and plenty of vegetation, there's bound to be plenty of insects.

Open the bag of cat food for the long-haired kitten and pour a spoonful into the small dish.

This amount is more than enough for a kitten.

It turned out that it ate at a leisurely pace, and even seemed to find that it didn't taste as good as leftover pork.

Chen Jingle asked it curiously, "What's wrong? Don't you like it?"

Meow~~ (The taste is just so-so)

The cat food was a bit too hard, and the little guy was chewing it with a loud crunching sound.

“Okay, I won’t buy any more after I finish eating. Just eat meat like me later,” Chen Jingle said.

Meow~~ (Okay)

"..."

I was thinking of buying cat food to save time, but my little long-haired cat complained that it didn't taste good.

This cat food is much more expensive than meat.

"A huge loss!" Chen Jingle frowned.

Fresh chicken breast in the supermarket costs only six yuan per pound, while cheap cat food costs twenty or thirty yuan per pound.

They're all boasting about their scientific formulas, nutritional components, and multiple immune factors—I'm so fed up with that!

Although the list contained ingredients like chicken, salmon, Antarctic krill, and cranberries, Chen Jingle was certainly not foolish enough to believe it all.

Ingredient lists can be faked.

Perhaps there are some, but the quantity is probably small, and they're not the best cuts.

After all, minced chicken is still chicken, and rotten fruit is still fruit.

These days, there are quite a few toxic cat foods; they are exposed every year, and people still fall for them every year.

Chen Jingle specifically chose to buy a big brand, but even so, Xiao Changmao didn't like it. You can imagine how bad those ordinary cat foods must be.

It might all be due to palatability enhancers.

"I can only say that the pet industry is damn profitable!" Chen Jingle sighed.

Unfortunately, he wasn't interested in that.

Otherwise, you could set up a small processing plant, register a brand, and find someone to promote it; you might just become rich.

These days, many people treat their cats and dogs better than they treat themselves.

……

After the little long-haired dog had eaten and drunk its fill, Chen Jingle prepared to wash its face.

It's not taking a bath.

Although the long-haired kitten is very smart, it is still a kitten after all and is not suitable for bathing, otherwise it will easily get sick.

Dampen a tissue with some water, wash your face briefly, wipe your paws, wipe off any loose fur, and finally wipe your bottom. That should be enough.

After drinking diluted moonlight dew and spring rain dew, even its fur won't fall out, and it won't have the problems that ordinary long-haired cats have.

"It feels much cleaner."

Chen Jingle was very satisfied.

The little long-haired boy was very satisfied and started kneading his breasts while lying on Chen Jingle's palm.

Kneading is an instinctive behavior in cats, stemming from the physiological needs of kittens during nursing. In adult cats, it is an action to express comfort, security, or emotional needs, and is commonly seen when they are relaxed, in a trusting environment, or interacting with their owners.

Although the kitten is still nursing, Chen Jingle has already started feeding it normal food and cat food, which means it has been weaned.

This is clearly an expression of its trust in Chen Jingle.

The little guy is quite perceptive. After cleaning it up, Chen Jingle no longer complained about its dirtiness. While resting on the mahogany sofa, he placed the little long-haired creature on his belly.

Despite the rain that fell in the morning, the afternoon was sunny and humid again.

Chen Jingle didn't want to work in the garden under the scorching sun, so he chose to stay at home and continue practicing the Evergreen Kung Fu.

It's not too late to do farm work in the garden after the sun has almost set.

Anyway, the Spirit Plant Master profession can't be upgraded to the next level anytime soon.

……

After dinner, Chen Wenjie, as usual, came over to get some scallions.

Chen Jingle asked him, "How's business these past few days? Not bad, right?"

"It's not just okay, it's incredibly popular!"

Chen Wenjie couldn't hide his joy: "They're selling like hotcakes. The students rush out as soon as evening self-study ends, forming long lines. It's exhausted me."

Judging from his smiling face, he was clearly enjoying himself.

Come to think of it, if there's money to be made, a little hard work is nothing; it's better than sitting around until midnight.

"You've made progress so quickly?" Chen Jingle exclaimed in surprise.

Chen Wenjie said, "Brother Le, you underestimate the effect of these scallions. They're absolutely in high demand. If it weren't for the limited quantity of scallions, which is only enough for a little over a hundred servings a day, I would have kept them on display until two or three in the morning. People in the internet cafe next door who are starving in the middle of the night would love to have a plate of fried noodles. It's much better than instant noodles."

"Not bad, not bad." Chen Jingle nodded slightly.

It seems like things are on the right track.

Although setting up a street stall may not seem respectable, the money you earn is clean, and you make a living with your skills, so there's nothing to be ashamed of.

Even if you sell 100 orders a day and earn 5 yuan per order, if you don't rest, you can earn 15,000 yuan a month.

Chen Jingle thought for a moment and reminded him, "Don't stay out too late. Our main customers are still the students from No. 3 Middle School. Once the students are resting at night, you should close up shop to avoid affecting your work the next day. Don't forget, you still work at the cake shop."

He was worried that Chen Wenjie's late nights and early mornings would eventually ruin his health.

It's fine when you're young, but problems can easily arise as you get older.

"Don't worry, I know." Chen Wenjie chuckled.

"Working two jobs must be exhausting, right?"

Chen Jingle sighed, but also felt a little gratified, as it was the first time he had seen this guy work so hard.

Chen Wenjie nodded emphatically: "It's definitely tiring, equivalent to working more than 14 hours a day. Fortunately, unlike an assembly line, there's not work every moment at the cake shop, so I can take a break occasionally. It's the same with the stall; when there are no customers, I take the opportunity to rest. Overall, I can still manage."

"Okay, if it's too tiring, we'll make a compromise."

As long as Chen Jingle can continue to produce Moon Dew, he can guarantee the supply of scallions, and his two little brothers will have something to eat.

Chen Wenjie straightened his chest, his ribs thumping loudly as he patted them: "It's okay, I can still hold on."

He calculated that if he could hold on, he could earn at least 20,000 yuan this month, combining both incomes.

Twenty thousand!
He has never received such a high salary before!
Don't even think about it!
He used to spend his days playing King of Glory or Peacekeeper Elite, but after calculating this result, his desire for money suddenly became strong.

Money is a good thing, but I don't have any.

But now the opportunity is right in front of him, almost like being fed by hand, so he naturally has to seize it, otherwise he will definitely regret it later.

He wanted to earn more money to buy all sorts of things he wanted but couldn't afford before!

This includes, but is not limited to, in-game skins, real-world mobile phones and computers, and even cars and houses.

Moreover, it wasn't easy to get Brother Le to help, so what if I don't live up to his expectations and he stops providing the special scallions?
If you want others to help you, you have to make yourself successful first!

Chen Jingle shook his head: "You're young now and can handle it, but when you turn 30, your physical functions will decline and it will be a different story."

Chen Wenjie chuckled and said, "Then let's hold on for a while while I'm still under 30."

"You just have to know it yourself."

Chen Jingle didn't try to persuade him further, lest he seem long-winded.

After seeing Chen Wenjie off, I looked at the sky. Although the sun was almost setting, it was still a long time before the twilight reward.

So he decided to go out again.

This time I want to go into the city and find a big supermarket to do some shopping, buy some snacks, and some ice cream.

Summer is here, and he used to not be able to eat cold food very well, but now that the problem is solved, he can eat as much as he wants.

He has a sweet tooth.

Because we often use our brains to think about various problems, and the activity of brain neurons depends on glucose for energy, long-term mental work can lead to fluctuations in blood sugar levels.

Appropriate sugar intake can quickly replenish energy and relieve fatigue.

　Thank you all for your support. Unfortunately, there are too many strong competitors. My book hasn't received any traffic boosts yet, so it's a bit difficult to get going. I'll accumulate some more and see how it goes after I reach 60,000 words.
