Instant Noodle Tycoon [System]

The sun in winter is always loved by people. It is a rare good weather. Chu Lin asked someone to move a couch into the yard, and put a lot of food within reach, so he leaned on the hidden pouch and held it. From the looks of this book, it looks extremely leisurely.

"Didn't you start writing the book when the weather cleared?" Zhao Xu came over and sat down by the couch, reminding him casually.

Chu Lin, who adjusted his posture and lay on the hidden pouch, said without raising his head, "Lazy, I don't want to move."

Seeing him talking about himself so confidently, Zhao Xu rubbed his head with a broken smile.

Chu Lin, who was feeling uncomfortable lying down, held his hand, leaned into his arms, and continued to read the book.

"Chu Lin, let me tell you that I have collected a set of zodiac cards!"

Before seeing anyone, Chu Lin heard his voice first, so he got out of Zhao Xu's arms and leaned against the hidden pouch again.

"You are really comfortable." Zhou Heng sighed when he entered the courtyard and saw the scene inside.

When he found that Wang An glanced at him coldly, Zhou Heng, who knew that he must have disturbed them, rolled his eyes secretly. After saluting to him, he sat down on a round stool beside the couch. Down.

The winter sun shone warmly and comfortably on his body. Chu Lin, who was so sun-baked that he didn't really read books, put the books aside, looked at him and said, "Which set of cards have you collected?"

"The blue set." Zhou Heng said while showing him twelve blue zodiac cards, no more, no less.

After thinking for a while, Chu Lin said, "Not bad, the blue prize seems to be a silver monkey."

"It's been collected with great difficulty, so I won't change it." Zhou Heng touched the zodiac card he had collected with great difficulty.

"..."

Looking at his speechless expression, Zhou Heng explained: "I don't lack those gold and silver ones, it's not as good as these exquisitely drawn cards."

The front of the card, which is slightly smaller than the palm, is the zodiac picture, and the back is some words about the character and fortune of the zodiac. Not to mention, Zhou Heng thinks that at least the card corresponding to his zodiac is quite accurate, so why would he use it? It goes for silver jewelry.

"If everyone is like you, then I can really save a lot of prizes." Chu Lin said with a smile.

"Then look, there must be many people like me."

Seeing that they were talking and laughing, it seemed like he was superfluous, so Zhao Xu took a snack from the plate and put it to the mouth of the person beside him.

Chu Lin subconsciously opened his mouth to eat, and then took two sips of tea with his hands.

After eating and drinking like this, Chu Lin didn't have the extra mouth to talk to Zhou Heng, so he just listened to what he said there, answering once or twice from time to time.

"You eat." After eating the third piece of the same dim sum, Chu Lin, who felt a little tired, pushed the dim sum he took a bite to in front of him.

Zhao Xu finished the snack in his hand in a few mouthfuls, and sent another one over.

It was boring for Zhou Heng to talk there by himself, but when he saw how sticky they were, he gave a "tsk", and immediately didn't want to stay any longer.

"You eat too." Seeing that he suddenly stopped talking, Chu Lin invited.

"Let's not bother you, I'm leaving." Zhou Heng touched a piece of snack from the plate, and walked out while eating.

As Zhou Heng said, there are quite a few people like him who have collected a set of cards but are unwilling to exchange them for prizes.After all, people who can spend that money to collect cards basically don't lack that little gold and silver. After finding the cards are interesting, they naturally don't bother to change them.

At the beginning, the cards were collected by those young masters who often went to the instant noodle restaurant to eat noodles. After they took the cards home, the ladies and wives of various families who were interested in the fortune behind the zodiac cards also collected them.

Two days before the new year, the points reached over 1000 million again, and without thinking, Chu Lin exchanged a life source liquid.

"I'm in good health. I'm sure I'll live a long life. This time, you have to drink it yourself." Chu Lin finished speaking with a serious face. Seeing that he didn't respond, he said, "Did you hear that?"

Seeing him nodding, Chu Lin pursed his lips slightly and opened the source of life liquid and handed it over. Seeing that he drank half of it in one gulp, and drank the rest in the second gulp, he raised his lips in satisfaction.

"This is... well..."

Chu Lin, who was about to praise him, was gagged by him before he finished speaking, and then fed the fragrant liquid from his mouth.

"you……"

Slightly separated from him, Chu Lin panted and stared at him, originally wanted to curse, but met his gentle eyes, finally pushed him away angrily and walked out.

"Where are the others?" Zhao Xu, who was pushed down on the couch, hadn't seen anyone else when he got up and went out, so he asked Shen Yi who just came over.

"Master, why did you provoke him?" Shen Yi asked curiously, not mentioning how good Chu Lin's temper is, but thinking that the master cares about him, he should also be reluctant to make him angry.

Zhao Xu glanced at him lightly, and after getting the answer "The man ran towards the gate of the house", he raised his foot and chased him.

Anger is just a matter of that moment. When he walked out of the yard, Chu Lin, who realized that his heart for him was the same as his own, was no longer angry, so his pace slowed down.

A gust of wind blew, Chu Lin felt a little cold, and didn't want to go any further, so he squatted down beside the rockery.

Some servants passing by saw them and came over to ask what orders they had. Chu Lin, who thought that Zhao Xu would definitely come over later, waved his hand to say no.

Sure enough, Zhao Xu came over after a while, "Why are you squatting here?"

Obviously no longer annoyed, but seeing him, Chu Lin still couldn't help snorting.

Raising his hand to touch his face, Zhao Xu, who felt a little cold, reached out to him, "Go back."

Chu Lin, who originally wanted to say no, met his caring eyes, but still slapped his hand heavily into his palm.

The day before the new year, Zhao Xu asked him if he wanted to attend the dinner in the palace, and after getting a negative answer, he went into the palace for a walk.

In previous years, Zhao Xu didn't attend the palace banquet due to his health. Since Chu Lin didn't want to go this year, he decided not to go as usual.

On insignificant matters, the emperor was quite tolerant towards him. Hearing that he could not stand the noise and did not want to attend the palace banquet, he agreed after a few words of concern.

"Happy New Year!"

On the morning of New Year's Eve, Chu Lin rolled onto him as soon as he woke up, and said something with his arms around his neck.

"Let's have fun together." Looking at his smiling face, Zhao Xu also raised his lips.

After finishing speaking, Chu Lin lazily buried his face in his neck.

Zhao Xu, who was a little itchy from his unconscious rubbing but was reluctant to push him away, raised his hand and rubbed his head, then ran his hand along his long hair: "Can't you get up?"

"Lie down for a while."

After lying down for a while, although he still didn't want to get up, but thinking about the Chinese New Year today, Chu Lin, who couldn't sleep like this, still cheered up and got up.

"What are we going to do?" After washing and eating breakfast, Chu Lin looked at him and said.

Zhao Xu was a little puzzled, "What?"

Looking at his expression, Chu Lin, who remembered that servants would do everything, thought for a while, and said, "Let's write some blessings and paste them on the door."

After the servants took the red paper and pen and ink and put them on the table outside, Chu Lin wrote a piece of blessing first.

"How is it?" After finishing writing, he picked it up and showed it to the people beside him.

After practicing calligraphy for so long, there must be some progress, but if you want to say how good it is, there is no such thing.

But Zhao Xu would definitely not spoil his interest, so he picked up the advantages and praised a few words.

Although he knew exactly how well he wrote it, but when he heard his words, Chu Lin still rolled his eyes with a smile, and after writing a few more seriously, he gave him the place.

After a while, there were many blessings and couplets on the table. Chu Lin, who thought it was a good fit, had another idea. He took a pen and greeted him: "Let's write two pictures together and stick them on the doors of the room and the yard." OK?"

"it is good."

After he took the paste and pasted the word "Fu" written by Zhao Xu and the couplets in Manfu, Chu Lin was very happy.

After a busy morning, when the more sumptuous meals than usual were served, Chu Lin ate very deliciously.

"What are we going to do in the afternoon?" Chu Lin said after eating, lying on the couch and rubbing his belly.

"What do you want to do?"

Chu Lin thought about it, raised his hand and yawned.

Seeing that he even yawned a few times, and the corners of his eyes were moist, he was obviously sleepy. Zhao Xu said, "Sleep for a while, and think about it after getting up."

"En." Chu Lin responded, and he lay down slowly.

It was easy to sleep in winter, and it got dark early. When he woke up, the room had already been lit.

"Why didn't you wake me up!" Chu Lin complained a little.

"It's still early." Zhao Xu took the sitting up man into his arms and reached out to help him rub his temples.

His drowsy head became comfortable under his rubbing, which made Chu Lin soften his body involuntarily.

"Let's set off firecrackers!" After leaning against his arms for a while, Chu Lin suddenly raised his head.

In modern times, the city where Chu Lin lives has long banned whipping, so apart from childhood memories, not to mention setting off firecrackers, it is rare to see firecrackers again.

That's right, he was the one who said he was going to set off the firecrackers, but when he got to the yard and looked at the firecrackers on the ground, he was a little timid.

Seeing that the incense in his hand was still a little away from the firecrackers, he backed away in fright, and moved forward when he found that it was not lit. Zhao Xu was so amused that he laughed out loud.

Hearing the voice, he turned his head subconsciously. Even if he smiled very seductively, he couldn't change the fact that he was laughing at himself. Therefore, Chu Lin, who wanted to save face, glared at him, then took two steps forward and shook his hands, and finally ignited the fire lying on the ground. firecrackers.

The moment he saw the sparks, he stepped back quickly, and crashed into the arms of the person behind him at the same time as the firecrackers sounded.

"It's amazing." Holding his waist, seeing him turn his head to look at him, Zhao Xu boasted, and said, "Let's release it with me."

Next, Zhao Xu stretched out his arms to embrace him, and took his hands to light firecrackers one by one.

"Ah... run, run!"

"It's okay, don't be afraid."

At first, he held back for fear of his joke, but when he lit two firecrackers at the same time, Chu Lin cried out and pushed him back.

Standing at the gate of the courtyard and watching the master laughing and making noise with him, Shen Yi also laughed, thinking of the lifeless palace in the past, he felt indescribably happy.

The only serious masters in the palace are Zhao Xu and Chu Lin. In order not to make the New Year's Eve dinner too chilly, Shen Yi, Xuan San and the old butler of the palace were brought to the table together.

After eating, Chu Lin took Zhao Xu and sat in the yard watching the fireworks, feeling an indescribable satisfaction in his heart.

Although there is no TV or Spring Festival Gala here, but there are people who can accompany him to watch the night, at this moment, Chu Lin suddenly feels grateful to the system.

"That's great!" Leaning his head on the shoulder of the person beside him, Chu Lin raised his lips and sighed from the bottom of his heart.

This year's New Year's Eve is not much different from previous years, but there is a food called "instant noodles" on the tables of many people's homes.

And in the far northwest, those soldiers who guarded the frontier and could not reunite with their families were also happy when they learned that they could eat their fill of instant noodles today.

You know, although instant noodles have been sent to the frontier as military supplies, they are generally only eaten on the marching road, and as rewards for soldiers who perform well, so you don’t even have to think about eating enough.

So, it was rare to have an extra meal today, and a lot of meat such as roasted whole lamb and roasted pig came over, but the soldiers didn't even look at it, but ate instant noodles with bowls, their eyes still fixed on the boiled instant noodles pot.

Seeing that they only ate instant noodles, the people of Huotouying thought that the stock would be exhausted at this rate, and they thought of a way to spread the seasoning in the instant noodles on the barbecue, which attracted many people to come to eat meat with the aroma.

"That's right, this guy from Huotouying still has some brains." Deputy General Wang took a bite of the golden bread in his hand, and praised while chewing.

"You're addicted to dry eating, aren't you?" Deputy General Wu snatched the instant noodles from his hand, broke off a piece and put it in his mouth, feeling that dry instant noodles had another flavor.

Stretching out his hand to snatch the noodles back, Deputy General Wang said confidently, "I'm not eating dry to save the sauce for the soldiers to eat."

Deputy General Wu said in his heart: Pull it, you have already eaten it before they thought of using sauce for barbecue.

But thinking that today was a good day, he didn't bother to talk about him anymore, and broke off another piece of noodles from his hand and left.

Seeing him leave, he felt that the instant noodles tasted better the more he chewed them dry. The more he ate, the more he craved for them. Deputy General Wu quietly took another pack of instant noodles and began to eat.

"Let's give it a taste." A subordinate who has a good relationship with him saw that he was eating so deliciously, so he came over and said.

After dividing him a bit, Deputy General Wu, who was afraid of bad influence, quickly finished the instant noodles in his hand, and then felt embarrassed to eat like this again.

After the new year, the weather gradually warmed up, and the people from the Ministry of Industry began to find a place to plant the sweet potatoes and corn brought from Prince An's Mansion.
