Cultivation Shura Field

After a few minutes, the girl next to me couldn't stand anymore.

"You really don't want to play games? You're too boring!"

Xu Zhe: "I really don't want to play. I'm just looking at things."

Tang Lingfei: "Tsk, you're pretending you can understand."

Xu Zhe smiled and didn't argue with the girl. He found that Pingguo had already released the first generation of iPhone and launched the app store, but there were only a few hundred apps. As for the Android system, it hadn't even been launched yet.

GitHub, the code hosting hub of later generations, did exist, but not many people used it, and it lacked many of the functions that people were used to. Bitcoin, which was later hosted on it, had not yet been created.

Several business plans quickly emerged in Xu Zhe's mind - but these plans could not be implemented for the time being because they required a lot of start-up capital.

Thinking of the start-up capital, Xu Zhe started looking for outsourcing platforms again. The ones he often used in his later life were not online yet. After trying for a while, he finally found an old community that he had hardly used.

From outside the study, the sound of a noisy TV came.

Xu Zhe had long realized that Tang Lingfei was no longer peeking at the screen, but only now did he realize that this girl couldn't even sit still in the study and was watching TV in the living room.

He stood up and looked out the study door.

The girl slumped on the sofa, looking relaxed. The "Sunflower Acupuncture Point Pressing" on TV reminded Xu Zhe of a classic comedy from the past two years.

"Do you want to come and see?" Tang Lingfei noticed him and asked.

Xu Zhe shook his head: "Go on."

Since no one was peeking at the screen, there was no need to act. He returned to his computer and installed JDK neatly, preparing for Java programming.

However, at this moment, the security door was opened with a key.

The sound of the TV series in the living room suddenly disappeared.

After the door opened, the girl's father, Tang Wanghai, was heard saying, "Hey, are you reading a book? What book are you reading?"

Tang Lingfei: "First grade mathematics..."

"Hahaha," Tang Wanghai's tone was full of laughter, "Don't tease me, can you prepare for junior high school mathematics? Let me see, um, the TV is so hot that it's burning my hand. What are you preparing for?"

Tang Lingfei: "I was just reading a book!"

Tang Wanghai: "Okay, then show me. Junior high school mathematics, what does rational number mean? This is the subject of a unit."

Tang Lingfei: "..."

Xu Zhe was already standing at the door of the study room, hesitating about how to greet him. Unexpectedly, Uncle Tang turned around and walked to the door of the study room, facing him.

"Xiaozhe is here too?"

"Uh, I brought my junior high school books here..."

Tang Wanghai smiled and shook his head: "Yes, that girl told me last night. But you didn't study, one of you watched TV and the other played on the computer."

Xu Zhe pointed to the computer behind him: "To be honest, I'm not playing. You can take a look at what this is."

As soon as Tang Wanghai sat down in front of the computer, he saw a screen full of English web pages.

"Wow...is this what you're looking at?"

Xu Zhe responded: “That’s right.”

Tang Wanghai: "Are you learning English?"

Xu Zhe: “No, I’m learning programming.”

Tang Wanghai looked back, his eyes full of surprise.

"That's great! You've started learning programming..."

The uncle said this, but he didn't seem to be convinced. However, he was not the boy's father, so even if he didn't believe it, he couldn't say anything.

He minimized the webpage and opened the stock trading software.

Xu Zhe immediately understood why the uncle wanted to go home to use the computer. As far as he knew, Tang Wanghai often had to run business, so it was normal for him not to be in the office. Now it seemed that the company must have strict control over stock trading during working hours.

For the reborn, stocks are of course the perfect shortcut. Xu Zhe later touched the stock market, but didn't make much money, but of course he still had an impression of the general direction of the stock market. However, at present, he has nothing in his pocket and is still a minor, so it is not convenient for him to invest in stocks... But what if he discusses it with his elders and makes some reasonable suggestions?

He began to think about how to do it specifically.

As soon as Tang Wanghai saw the green stock list, he couldn't help but sigh. Then he realized that there was a junior behind him, so he turned around and was about to say something, but was stunned by Xu Zhe's words.

“The market is not stable yet.”

"What?"

"The stock market crash that started last year has not yet completely ended, and market confidence has not recovered. Most stocks have been on a downward trend this year. Uncle, you didn't make much money, did you?"

After saying this, Xu Zhe felt a little uncertain. It seemed that he had said it too politely and did not give the adults face. He was not sure if the other party would accept it.

However, he obviously underestimated the awareness of stock investors.

Tang Wanghai asked with interest, "You also study stocks?"

Xu Zhe threw out the reason he had just thought of: "Actually, I learned programming just to study stocks. There are many variables in the stock market. If I can write a program to summarize and calculate the possibility of rise and fall using my own method, wouldn't it be much easier to trade stocks?"

Tang Wanghai: "This kind of procedure has already existed."

Xu Zhe: "But that was written by someone else and cannot be used."

Tang Wanghai: "Why?"

Xu Zhe said meaningfully: "When a shortcut is shown to everyone, it means that it is no longer a shortcut."

Before he finished speaking, Tang Wanghai's eyes fixed, as if he was thinking about something.

After a long silence, he asked, "So you want to write a stock picking program for your own use?"

Xu Zhe nodded: "I think we can give it a try. Anyway, I'm young, so it doesn't matter if there is a little trial and error cost."

Anyway, it doesn't cost money to talk big, so you can say "you can try it" in any way you want, it's quite flexible.

But Tang Wanghai seemed to be thinking seriously and stared at the child for a long time.

Suddenly, he waved his hand and said, "Come over and take a look at this stock. What do you think of it?"

Xu Zhe came over to take a look and said, "It turned out to be Chang Hong..."

Tang Wanghai: "Do you think there is something wrong with this?"

It was more than just a problem. Xu Zhe remembered that even after ten years, this stock had not risen, while many stocks in the same period had doubled or even dozens of times. In short, it was just a piece of duckweed that floated back and forth with the market.

Xu Zhe: “When did you buy it?”

Tang Wanghai: "Last month, it was 3.8 yuan. Now it's less than 3 yuan. I've lost a lot of money."

Xu Zhe analyzed: "Once market confidence is restored, it should be able to rise again along with the broader market, but that will probably be next year."

At this moment, Tang Lingfei also came into the study and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

Tang Wanghai waved his hand: "Don't interrupt, kid."

Tang Lingfei was immediately dissatisfied: "Xu Zhe is also a child!"

Tang Wanghai: "Oh, I'm much more sensible than you. Go watch TV. I won't care about you during the summer vacation."

Tang Lingfei stood there for a while, and saw that the two of them were concentrating on chatting again, and they didn't want her to interrupt them. The girl stamped her feet in anger, and then walked closer and stamped again.

"So you think we should sell short now..." Tang Wanghai was chatting, and when he heard the noise, he turned his head and asked, "Why are you still here?"

Tang Lingfei pouted and stared at her father and childhood sweetheart angrily.

Seeing this, Xu Zhe felt that he needed to comfort her, so he said, "You watch TV first. How about I cook when I'm free later?"

The father and daughter were both shocked and asked in unison: "You can also cook!?"

Looking at their expressions, Xu Zhe suddenly felt that pretending to be cool might actually be a very pleasant thing.

Chapter 5 005 Childhood Sweetheart

2023-09-06

Stir-fried diced pork, mapo tofu, and scallion chicken.

Xu Zhe's knife skills were terrible, but knife skills were not necessary in many cases. He was quite confident in cooking these two meat dishes and one vegetable dish. After all, when he lived alone in the future, he had to satisfy his taste buds at a low cost, and he was already very familiar with this type of dish.

At noon, these three dishes were placed on the table.

When seeing the father and daughter of the Tang family holding their chopsticks with surprise on their faces, Xu Zhe felt that he had experienced a kind of pleasure that he had almost never felt in his previous life.

Tang Wanghai picked up a piece of chicken.

Tang Lingfei picked up a piece of diced meat.

"Great!"

"Delicious!"

The two spoke almost at the same time.

Tang Wanghai took a mouthful of rice, but his daughter didn't even bother with the rice and reached for the Mapo Tofu with her chopsticks.

Xu Zhe picked up the serving spoon and stopped him: "Wait a minute, this is sprinkled with pepper powder, mix it well before eating."

Tang Lingfei subconsciously asked: "Why not mix it evenly when frying it in the pan?"

Xu Zhe: "Because pepper powder is easy to overcook, it's best to sprinkle it on when you remove it from the pan."

The father and daughter looked at each other.

Tang Lingfei: "Dad, you don't understand this, right?"

Tang Wanghai: "Isn't this nonsense? I don't know how to cook."

Tang Lingfei sighed deliberately and said, "You are an adult, how can you not know how to cook?"

Tang Wanghai stared at his daughter for a few seconds and asked the same question again: "First, tell me what is a rational number."

Tang Lingfei: "I haven't even started junior high school yet!"

Tang Wanghai: "How did Xiaozhe know that? Look how smart and sensible he is. What about you?"

The girl was speechless for a moment, but still angry, so she kicked Xu Zhe next to her with her little feet under the table - if this guy hadn't been showing off in front of his dad today, why would she be scolded repeatedly?

But after kicking him, she took another bite of the food and felt that it was a bit too much to kick him even though he had cooked for her. She was too embarrassed to argue with him, but even more embarrassed to apologize. So the girl could only eat in silence.

But she couldn't remain silent for long.

After Tang Wanghai finished eating, he said, "I'm going to the company now. Xiaofei, Xiaozhe just finished cooking, so you should be sensible and take the initiative to wash the dishes."

Tang Lingfei: "..."

Xu Zhe said leisurely: "It seems that no matter where you are, who washes the dishes is a classic problem."

----

When Tang Lingfei finished washing the dishes, her father had already left the house.

The girl wiped her wet hands on both sides of her waist, walked into the study, and stood beside the boy who was concentrating on the computer. From her angle at this time, she could see the content displayed on the screen and the boy's profile.

Xu Zhe stared at the screen, typing away on the keyboard with both hands, typing very fast. He seemed to be chatting with someone, typing in Chinese characters, but the combination of words made her completely incomprehensible. Compared to the screen full of inexplicable words such as "code", "settlement", "demand", and "architecture", Xu Zhe's profile was more interesting.

There is a saying that has become very popular in later generations. At this moment, it quietly came to the girl’s mind - boys who are serious are quite handsome.

Tang Lingfei stood there, hands on hips, staring at him quietly.

After a long time, Xu Zhe finally took his hands off the keyboard. He leaned back in his chair and stretched out his body.

He turned around and asked, "What are you doing?"

Tang Lingfei: "What are you looking at?"

Xu Zhe: "Oh, I'm working on the programming environment and chatting with people about outsourcing."

The girl shook her head: "I don't understand."

Xu Zhe thought about it and felt that since he was borrowing someone else’s computer, he should give some explanation.

So he said, "I just chat with people about business on the Internet, and I write code for others in exchange for money."

Tang Lingfei's face was full of doubt: "Are you really that powerful?"

Xu Zhe scratched the back of his head.
