No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 10: Tea Scanning QR Code Internet Cafe
"Where's Guan Ren?"

"gone."

When Su Ping heard the door closing and came out of the kitchen, she only saw her daughter Luo Xiaobei.

"Silly girl, why don't you invite him to dinner? How long has it been since he came to our house?"

"Oh, Dad is still at home..."

Luo Xiaobei walked towards the bedroom while complaining.

"Oh...that old thing..."

Su Ping picked up a piece of celery in her hand and groaned in anger. Just as she was about to turn around and go back to the kitchen, she found that Luo Xiaobei had already put on his clothes.

"Hey? You don't want to stay in bed anymore?"

"No."

Luo Xiaobei bit two hair ties and combed her hair carefully, which surprised Su Ping:
"Are you going out?"

Luo Xiaobei shook his head.

"So what's the big deal?"

"study."

"???"

Su Ping looked unconvinced, and Luo Xiaobei didn't care either, muttering something familiar:
"Believe it or not, we'll find out after the monthly exam... A-choo!"

------------

On the other side, after Guan Ren walked out of Luo Xiaobei's residential area, he had been standing outside a small street shop for a long time.

“Good Chicken Club…”

Looking at the three big words on the sign, Guan Ren, who had originally planned to eat braised chicken, fell into deep thought.

Is this a chicken shop?

Or a chicken shop?

It's no wonder Guan Ren was confused, because there were only a few plastic curtains hanging outside this shabby shop, and there was only one table in the front of the shop. The area in the back, which was suspected to be the kitchen, was also dark, which was really suspicious.

never mind…

If you are really curious, you can go back at night to see if the pink light is on.

The main problem now is that Guan Ren is not tired from his morning run and helping Su Ping carry things, but he is definitely hungry.

What to eat...

After walking a little further, another store caught Guan Ren's attention.

【Veteran Oil Tea】

"Okay, I haven't had oil tea for a long time, this is it..."

……

Oil tea from Jiangzhou County is one of the delicacies that Guan Ren has been eating since he was a child.

In fact, oil tea can be found in many places across the country, including Wuzhi and other famous places, but each place has different characteristics, and Jiangzhou County is no exception.

"Boss, give me a big bowl."

"Want some chili?"

"want."

When it comes to specialties, Jiangzhou County’s oil tea is inseparable from cooked chili oil.

Although chili oil is used in many snacks in Jiangzhou County, the characteristics of each finished product are different.

For example, the liquid poured over oil tea should not be too spicy, and should taste fragrant and not pungent.

Of course, specific tastes vary from person to person. At least Guan Ren likes it, so he asked the boss to put it up.

As for the tea noodle soup base of the oil tea, the preparation is actually similar in different places. Most of them use flour, soybean flour, glutinous rice flour, etc., which are fried and then boiled into a paste. The boss scoops a spoonful of hot soup into a bowl, sprinkles it with crispy soybeans, crispy pickled turnip pieces, and some chopped green onions.

The most important thing is to sprinkle a handful of Sanzi.

This Sanzi can be said to be the soul of oil tea. Each fried piece looks like the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, and can be understood as a "stick-shaped crispy food". First, cut it into small pieces and scald them in tea soup until half soft, then put a spoonful of it into your mouth. The rich aroma of ghee mixed with the aroma of flour will spread all over the place. The Sanzi and chopped turnips make it rich in taste. Drinking a whole bowl of it will satisfy your hunger and fill you up.

"Not bad, I'll have to ask Xiaobei to try it next time."

As a childhood sweetheart with a conscience, Guan Ren still remembers his childhood sweetheart at this time.

"Boss, you sweep me or I sweep you."

Guan Ren said this subconsciously, while searching the room for a green or blue sign. After searching for a long time, he found the boss staring at him like he was an idiot:
"What are you sweeping?"

"..."

Well, Guan Ren suddenly remembered that this was 2011, and bosses generally didn’t have codes.

That's bad.

Guan Ren changed his pants when he went out for a run, and now he has no money in his school pants.

Fortunately, as the saying goes, there is always a way when you reach the mountain, and the boat will naturally straighten out when it reaches the bridge.

Just when Guan Ren was in a state of embarrassment, three figures walked over from a distance, arm in arm, humming a little tune:
"Find some time~find some free time~take my son~to the Internet cafe~"

"..."

Guan Ren looked at the three familiar funny guys with drooping eyelids. The first thing that came to his mind was the episode in "Tom and Jerry" where Tom stayed up all night and drank a lot of coffee.

The three stray cats inside were exactly the same as the three people at this moment.

"Fuck, Second Master? What a coincidence?"

The first person to discover Guan Ren was Liu Xiong. "It's just right. I just ran away from home. Can we go together?"

Then there is Zhang Chi.

"A new thinking shop has opened on Xing'an Road. They're charging one dollar an hour. Don't miss this opportunity."

Finally, there is Xu Hui.

As we all know, it is common knowledge that there are four of the Three Mythical Gods.

Xu Hui was in Class 8 when he was in the first year of high school. After being assigned to Class 7, he soon became friends with Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei. They were considered to be birds of a feather, and he is now a core member of the [Three Mythical Gods].

As for the other three, they are the core members of the core.

"Going online so early? Is it really that serious?"

"Brother Ren, I have something to say to you."

Xu Hui's expression straightened when he heard this:
"You have a computer at home, but what about us brothers? Why don't we eat meat?"

Guan Ren really doesn't eat meat. He pointed behind him:
"I just had a bowl of oil tea, and I don't have any money with me. Can anyone give me some?"

“Ouch—”

Upon hearing this, the three of them started to cheer and continued to move forward with a grin on their faces.

"Fellow Taoist, please stay."

Guan Ren stopped them and asked:
"What are you going to do at the Internet cafe?"

"Dota, let's fight, Chenghai, it's all fine..."

This is Xu Hui’s answer.

But the other two are different:

"Brother Ren, there's a new game called League of Legends that just came out. It's just been released in public beta and it's pretty fun. Want to join in?"

Guan Ren nodded secretly, it was indeed this time:
"Yes, and I can lead you two to victory by myself."

Zhang Chi and Liu Xiong heard this and said in unison:
"really?"

"If you really do, just help me pay for the meal."

"Okay! I'll do it!"

"Hey, I'll do it, it's just a small amount of money..."

Zhang Chi and Liu Xiong started arguing. Although they didn't completely believe Guan Ren's words, even if Guan Ren was bragging, it would be nice to have another buddy to play with.

Especially since the two of them have lost many games in a row, they really want to see some hope of turning things around.

It’s just that at this time, they were just playing the game for fun, and they didn’t realize how far the game would develop in the future.

On the contrary, many people, such as Xu Hui, showed disdain after hearing other words:

"League of Legends, what a crappy game, even a dog wouldn't play it."

"Xu Hui, don't you play Dota? This is easier than Dota."

"The plagiarism game is certainly easy."

"Besides, League of Legends is a big game, and the graphics are better than Dota."

"What? League of Legends is a big game? Have you ever played Call of Duty?"

……

As Xu Hui spoke, he began to mutter to himself with a smug look on his face, many of which would be considered outrageous in later times.

But Zhang Chi and Liu Xiong could only listen, occasionally pouting, and would not refute anything at all.

Because in that year, Xu Hui's point of view was the zzzq in the gaming circle at that time, and he had a lot of supporters, and no one would accuse him of being a certain Silin.

This year's game contempt chain is, first, single-player games > online games, then the "must-produce quality" Blizzard series is on par with single-player games, and at the bottom is undoubtedly the Penguin series such as CF, DNF, etc.

Although other pay-to-win RPG online games such as Zhengtu and Tianlong Babu have also been criticized, they have their own rich adults supporting them, which can be regarded as a kind of self-encirclement to a certain extent.

As for the few genuine single-player game players in the country, they are simply the emperor in the contempt chain.

……

In general, in this era, League of Legends players like Zhang Chi and Liu Xiong may not feel it too deeply in their own circles, but in some circles where players are more concentrated, it can be said that even breathing is wrong.

"Damn it, Xu Hui, that's enough. You play yours, and we play ours. Isn't Brother Ren playing too?"

"Yes."

Liu Xiong was the most indignant and patted Guan Ren on the shoulder:

"Brother Ren, why don't you just call him a bastard? We're all just having fun, why are you discriminating against him?"

Guan Ren said nothing, but put his hands behind his back, and walked happily and laughed:

"Hurry up, it will be too late."

……

Guan Ren would not scold Xu Hui.

Because Xu Hui will soon discover that the most fun thing is never a certain game, but playing games with friends, and thus he will follow the trend and join the League of Legends camp.

Guan Ren would not help Liu Xiong either.

Because history always repeats itself, those who are bullied will also bully others.

More than ten years later, Liu Xiong will naturally forget how he is despised by other players today, and instead despise another group of emerging game players.

Guan Ren felt that all he needed to do was to cherish these friends who were still simple and whose positions and opinions were not so clearly defined, and enjoy this pure youthful time with them.
