I awakened the cultivation panel.

Chapter 88 seems a bit too intimate.
When Chen Jingle met Li Shiming, he found that she had arrived first.

That's going too far. He clearly left home earlier this time.

Upon seeing Chen Jingle, Li Shiming first waved enthusiastically to him. After he approached on his electric scooter, she turned to greet Changmao, who was sitting in the back seat: "Changmao, we meet again!"

The long-haired creature was already very familiar with her. After meowing in response, it let Li Shiming rub it in various ways.

Those who saw it exclaimed that it was an absolutely wonderful cat.

"Let me put the jackfruit in your car first," Chen Jingle said.

He had nowhere to put his little electric scooter; if he parked it outside, someone might just steal it in the blink of an eye.

Although the quality of Chinese people has improved rapidly in recent years, there is no shortage of people who are greedy for small gains in every place.

Calling the police over a jackfruit? It's a bit of a waste of police resources, and there's no guarantee it will be found. In the end, you'll probably just have to accept your bad luck.

"So big?"

Li Shiming was surprised when she noticed the jackfruit on the pedal area of ​​the small electric vehicle.

Chen Jingle explained with a smile: "Actually, this is only considered medium size. There are even larger ones. If it's a large-scale plantation with an expert team providing technical guidance, it can be well managed from start to finish and easily grow to 30 jin (15 catties)."

In recent years, fruit varieties in China have been continuously optimized. For example, the previously popular Sunshine Rose grape has been widely promoted and will probably be phased out in a few years, replaced by better varieties.

The same applies to other fruits.

Lychee trees, including the "March Red" variety, are now almost never grown.

These plants belonging to Chen Jingle's family would have been considered excellent varieties a few years ago, but now they can only be described as average.

Of course, after absorbing diluted moon dew, it might become the best variety, and in terms of quality, it would absolutely crush similar fruits.

"Okay, then put them in the trunk of my car first. I'll give you the lychees then."

Li Shiming led Chen Jingle towards where she had parked her car.

Chen Jingle then realized that Li Shiming was driving an evil glutinous corn car, and had even put a macho pink car cover on it.

You know what, it's kind of a contrast.

The mighty Khan is driving such an adorable little car.

If Li Shiming knew that this guy was talking about her like this, she would definitely send a "How dare you! Drag him out and beat him to death" Li Er emoji.

"Here's a lychee for you!"

After putting the jackfruit in the trunk, Li Shiming handed him a heavy red bag.

"So many?" It was Chen Jingle's turn to be surprised.

He originally thought that a pound or two would be good enough, since the imperial tribute was not cheap, no matter how good the harvest was.

Li Shiming waved her hand and smiled, "Not much, not much. They were all gifts from others. My parents don't like to eat them, and they'll go bad in a few days if we don't finish them. You can eat as much as you want."

I completely forgot that I almost moved everything last night, and my mom complained that I should have just taken the whole box.

"Thank you."

Seeing her say that, Chen Jingle did not refuse anymore, opened the bag and said, "This is the offering from the immortals?"

He's never eaten it before.

“Actually, the celery offerings are just so-so. People who aren’t particularly picky about food won’t care too much about these differences,” Li Shiming said.

In her opinion, apart from being slightly larger and having more meat, Xianjinfeng is not much better than Guiwei, and it only tastes good when it is fully ripe.

Of course, some people don't like it being so sweet, like her parents.

Therefore, in terms of cost-effectiveness, Guiwei is definitely the better choice.

"That's right."

Chen Jingle curiously opened the bag, tasted one directly, and nodded: "The sweetness and texture are both good."

That's it.

After all, the lychees he watered with diluted moonlight dew tasted much better than these.

However, since it was a gift from someone, it must have been a token of their goodwill, so we can't say it's bad.

Personally, I feel it's better than the regular Guiwei variety; at least it has more meat. Smaller ones with less meat aren't very appealing.

If we had more space at home, we could consider planting one or two.

Li Shiming watched with a smile, thinking that this person was indeed interesting, and was not pretentious at all in front of her.

……

"Shall we just wander around?"

After Chen Jingle put the lychees into the trunk of the small electric car, Li Shiming cautiously suggested, "Okay."

Chen Jingle nodded subconsciously, then thought for a moment, "Where do you want to go shopping? Or Baida?"

"Well, let's browse around the mall first. At least the mall has air conditioning, and we can see if there's anything new or interesting there," Li Shiming said.

The main problem is that the weather is really hot today. They started sweating after just standing in the parking lot for a short while.

“Okay!” Chen Jingle did not refuse.

However, when Changmao ended up in Li Shiming's hands, she held him in her arms.

This girl truly loves kittens.

Handsome guy, beautiful girl, pet – this combination is bound to turn heads.

While strolling around the mall, Li Shiming saw a claw machine and couldn't resist the urge to try it, but unfortunately, her skills weren't good enough, and she spent several tens of yuan without winning anything.

She frowned in anger.

Although this amount of money is nothing to her, the feeling of repeated setbacks is really unpleasant.

Finally, Chen Jingle couldn't bear to see her like this anymore, so he used 10 coins to help her grab 5, making the little girl cheer with joy and look at him with almost worshipful eyes.

"How come you're so awesome?"

"Uh, it was probably luck, although there was a certain element of skill involved," Chen Jingle replied vaguely.

Cheating with magic is fine as long as no one finds out.

After all, the success rate of the claw machines here is indeed quite low. The owner is too greedy. If he's going to do something bad, then don't blame him for doing something even worse.

Moreover, they only caught five, barely breaking even, and didn't catch many.

Li Shiming was holding a cat in one arm, so she had to put the plush toy she couldn't carry on his body. They walked side by side, laughing and chatting all the way. This feeling was a bit too intimate.

……

Chen Jingle checked the time and said, "It's almost lunchtime, should we leave? Otherwise we'll have to wait in line."

"Okay~" Li Shiming nodded.

After walking around once, it would be a waste of time to walk around any further.

Chen Jingle said, "You treated us last time, this time it's my turn to treat you."

"Really?" Li Shiming's lips curled up slightly.

"Of course." Chen Jing chuckled. "I mean what I say. It's just a meal; I wouldn't go so far as to renege on a debt."

Li Shiming asked expectantly, "Where shall we go to eat?"

Chen Jingle hesitated and asked, "I'm not as familiar with Jiangbei as you are. How about you choose the place and I'll pay the bill?"

Going to unfamiliar shops can easily lead to making mistakes and ruining your mood.

With a food connoisseur who has tasted almost every cuisine north of the Yangtze River right in front of me, it's only natural to consult a professional.

“That’s fine too. Do you have any dietary preferences?” Li Shiming asked.

Chen Jingle said, "As long as the taste is good, the environment shouldn't be too bad, and I don't eat offal. I can handle medium spiciness. A higher budget is fine, but there's no need to deliberately save me money."

After all, in other people's eyes, he is still an unemployed person with an unstable income.

Little did they know that he actually had quite a lot of savings.

Although he might not be as wealthy as the young woman in front of him, he could still easily afford to treat her to a meal.

Li Shiming thought for a moment and said, "Now that you mention it, I do think of a good place to go."

"Oh? Where?"

Li Shiming laughed and said, "I once ate at a Hunan restaurant with a friend. The food was pretty good and not too spicy, which suits the taste of people from Jiangbei. It's just that the portions were a bit small."

She recalled the last time she had dinner with Chen Jingle. This guy had an enormous appetite; he finished off a four-person portion of food. As she said this, she subconsciously covered her mouth and chuckled.

Chen Jingle didn't seem uncomfortable at all; it was a fact that he could eat a lot. He smiled slightly and said, "It's alright, we can order a few more dishes."

Li Shiming smiled, her eyes narrowing: "That's good!"

"In that case, let's go."

Chen Jingle asked for the shop's name and then followed Evil Sticky Corn on his electric scooter.
