The mysterious recipe book that can compress the food budget to an extremely low level while maintaining nutritional supply is a must-know for every housewife or even house husband who is determined to increase income and reduce expenditure for the family!

In fact, it is not that useful. Uesugi Nobuyuki bought a cookbook when he just started his own household, but later he found that the cookbook was too petty bourgeois, and he felt even more sorry for the little money he spent on the cookbook.

But Brother Hu might really have a set of recipes for her in his mind.

"Discounted eggs, L size 98 yen a box..."

On weekdays it is 257 yen. For Uesugi Nobuyuki, eggs are usually bought at a discount. Twenty eggs are neatly placed in the refrigerator to prevent chicks from hatching, and he tries to clean them up with his silly sister within the next week.

"Size M is only 88." Yumeno Chiharu was looking at the other side.

Three heads of lettuce for 158 yen, chicken wings for 68 yen, and a deluxe buy two get one free combo. A pack of 30 pieces can be divided into three meals for two people, and the meat dumplings that one person can eat for two days are only 235 yen. I took a look and saw that there were other products... Yumeno Chiharu walked over, really going to help Uesugi Nobuyuki to spy on the military intelligence and wanted to know if there was a discount on milk.

Mr. Lu Xun once said that a woman is like a book.

Then just gently open the book "Yumeno Chiharu".

The exquisite title page is already fascinating, and the many details and foreshadowing in the book are even more fascinating.

Chiharu Yumeno has a rather tragic background. Her father was arrested for murder. Some kind relatives gave her financial assistance, but they could not make up their minds to adopt and take care of her, so Chiharu Yumeno has lived alone for seven years.

You see she is pretty and quiet, but some time ago when the family finances had not collapsed, she was actually a simple girl who would go to her part-time job and the supermarket after school. She tried hard to calculate every day whether it was more cost-effective to grab a discounted bento or to buy raw materials to boil water and cook every day.

In fact, there is no need to compare. Just the fact that you have to prepare a lunch box to bring to school means that it is more cost-effective to cook your own food, and you can have dinner with the leftovers when you get home.

The nutrition is not that abundant, but if you think about it seriously, it is still possible to achieve a balance.

It was not until the financial collapse a while ago that the country was reduced to the point where it couldn't even afford to eat.

"senior?"

Good Will Hunting: 1/3

Why is he looking at me again?

[Did I say something wrong? But pakchoy is a seasonal vegetable, so buying pakchoy is really a lot cheaper. ]

[Does he not like it? It tastes really good when fried and is very nutritious...]

The corresponding image emerged in the Soul Catcher, which was the stir-fried bok choy that Chiharu Yumeno imagined.

"..."

Do you want to kill Wei too?

[Really...how long does he plan to watch me? ]

"Senior, is there something on my face?" Meng Ye Qianqing lowered her eyes and reminded him unkindly, "If you keep staring at others, your bad intentions will be written all over your face."

"I'm so sorry. I was just thinking if it was fruit, look over there, it's still so expensive."

[What a stupid excuse, idiot, who are you trying to fool... Never mind, I won't expose him...]

It turns out that few people are stupid enough to be fooled by a lie that is told casually.

It’s just a matter of whether you are willing to be deceived by you.

The two of them walked around the discount area and found that there was nothing left, so they went to the cashier counter and asked the lady to pay.

「Ichikawa Haruna (22)」

"Charm: 6"

"Favorability: 62"

Look at this young lady, she is so lame.

My charm 7 is indeed valuable, the handsome boy standing guard in the convenience store.

Okay, the checkout lady is actually pretty cute.

Uesugi Nobuyuki greeted the cashier with a smile. He was a frequent customer here. This young lady who had directly found a job after graduating from high school was also a full-time employee of the supermarket, and the two of them interacted on a daily basis.

"It's work time now. I can't chat with you for long."

"I understand, I understand."

Uesugi Shin was chatting with her very happily, and Yumeno Chiharu just stared at them, then quickly lowered her head and didn't look at them.

Ichikawa Haruna noticed Yumeno Chiharu's unconsciously entangled and clenched hands, then glanced at Uesugi Shin who was chatting with her, and immediately smiled and stopped talking, raising her eyebrows slightly, indicating with her eyes - your girlfriend must be jealous.

What girlfriend?

Uesugi Shin said he didn't understand the hint.

"Pack it in two portions and divide it like this..."

“Thank you for your patronage and welcome to visit next time~”

"I should be the one to say thank you. Thank you Haruna-nee for your cooperation. See you next time—"

Carrying two plastic bags, she walked out of the supermarket with Yumeno Chiharu.

I looked at the time, it was a little past four forty in the afternoon, and the afternoon sun was as warm as usual.

Uesugi Nobuyuki thought he was really arrogant. He dared to spend money on a girl when he didn't even have a girlfriend.

The budget is overspent.

This is not just the amount for a whole meal. Two boxes of eggs, vegetables, meat, and even rice are just small embellishments.

Uesugi Shin gave one of the bags to Yumeno Chiharu, and generously gave the last Soul Catcher to this girl.

[Sure enough, it’s for me. ]

"Senior...you are really meddling in other people's business."

[Disgusting, ill-intentioned, ulterior motives...]

[It's like this again, always giving alms to others on your own initiative...]

[A hopeless fellow...]

"Everyone has sad times. If you really can't bear it, you might as well trust your friends and take your time. Life will always get better."

Uesugi Nobuyuki found that he was really brave. Instead of retreating, he moved closer, scaring the girl so much that she subconsciously took a step back.

Uesugi Nobuyuki quickly raised his hands to show that he had no intention of crossing the line. If it was Awu on the other side, he would have simply gone up to him and patted his arm and stuffed the thing into his arms. But the person on the other side was his lovely brother Tiger, and patting him on the shoulder was really irrational and somewhat harassing.

You can't cross the line if the girl hasn't agreed to anything, even without a hint.

To put it nicely it's about confidence and building closer relationships, but to put it bluntly it can easily turn into a scene where a samurai duel is necessary - not to mention that samurai duels have always been a meme, and if you really duel you'll generally die a more miserable death.

[He must be lying. He just has sexual desire for me and wants to take something from me...]

[They are all the same...]

The pure and clean spiritual world was also disturbed, and all kinds of whispers kept emerging under the lake.

But it was Chiharu Yumeno who was talking to herself.

She was convincing herself to believe those thoughts.

Uesugi Nobuyuki didn't rush her and just carried the two bags for the time being. To be honest, one of the bags of rice was a bit heavy.

The two walked without any purpose, and for only three or four minutes, Yumeno Chiharu clenched her palms and looked at Uesugi Nobuyuki.

"Senior, please give me the receipt."

Uesugi Shin handed the receipt to Yumeno Chiharu, and then he handed her a plastic bag, which Yumeno Chiharu held with both hands this time.

She stared at Uesugi Shin carefully and said, "Senior, I will return it to you later."

The indigo pupils seemed to have magical power, immediately catching Uesugi Nobuyuki's attention.

【……Thanks.】

The wind blew, and the girl's hair fluttered slightly, making her look quiet and beautiful.

Good Will Hunting had ended long ago, and Uesugi Shin heard nothing.

There are some things you know even without hearing them.

"You're welcome."

Chapter 038 129.3

The setting sun slowly descends into the sky.

The last ray of gorgeous afterglow poured down on the quiet street. The cold concrete wall was now shrouded in a soft halo of light, showing a faint warm yellow. At first glance, it looked like a bronze mirror, but no human figure could be reflected.

There were few pedestrians on the streets, and their shadows were stretched long and thin. The tall sycamore trees passing by the street rustled in the warm wind. Meng Ye Qianqing looked up and saw that the leaves of the sycamore trees had turned yellow in autumn and were no longer lush and green.

She was walking alone on her way home and soon arrived at her doorstep. It was not a single-family house but an apartment.

Pushing open the apartment’s security door, there is a spacious entrance hall.

The refrigerator and microwave oven are placed in the inner corner on the left side against the wall. The kitchen counter with a sink, dishwashing basin and stove is also here, on the right side of the wall against the door.

This is where I cook my meals on a daily basis.

The floor is paved with the textured flooring that her parents had carefully selected. It looks well-arranged under the light and shadow, but it lacks maintenance and a lot of dust can be seen on the corners and edges. This is because she has been making do with her life for the past two or three months and has no mood to live a serious life. She might as well let this house suffer with her.

This one recently, how should I put it...

It's probably to the point that even a thief would burst into tears and leave with 2000 yen.

After entering the house, Meng Ye Qianqing subconsciously glanced at the shoe cabinet. The man's shoes were not there, which made her secretly relieved.

Her murderer father, who was released from prison, still hasn't returned home today.

Chiharu Yumeno changed into her indoor shoes, carried the food aided by her seniors, and walked towards the kitchen which had not been used for a long time.

Put the bag down and take out the small bag of rice. This is the most important thing in this bag of food. Rice is the main source of carbohydrates. With rice, you can at least have the energy to do anything all day long.

Before pouring the rice in, he carefully searched the rice bucket to make sure it was not contaminated by any dirty things that shouldn't be there.

“No cockroaches.”

I was overthinking. How long has her rice bucket been empty? Cockroaches and mice would be so eager to eat me if they saw me outside. At least I can get some protein. Don't underestimate me. My protein content is 6 times that of beef! 6 times!

Meng Ye Qianqing's frown relaxed and she showed a relieved expression. But she was still a little worried and took out a rough and cheap tissue from two piles of tissues to wipe it around. After psychologically comforting herself, she clapped her hands and poured the rice in.

At the kitchen counter, Chiharu Yumeno began to prepare dinner.

The knife skills are not fast, but very skillful.

No one taught her how to prepare vegetables and meat, but she learned the techniques from TV and discovered them on her own and the results were pretty good.

In the final analysis, practice makes perfect.

Click, click...

Thoughts related to this home floated into my mind.

To be honest, she was totally confused now.

Her father is released from prison. Is this a good thing for a girl who has been lacking family care for seven years?

But Meng Ye Qianqing knew that she didn't miss her father, on the contrary she was very scared.

Don't forget that she lived with her father for half a year, who had a gloomy look in his eyes and a depressed aura before he killed someone, and she also witnessed the video of her father torturing and killing others.

It will be scary.

What a terrible psychological trauma this is. The young girl was trapped in nightmares for a long time. In her dreams, she saw her father's hideous face when he killed people.

Especially in the past seven years, her father's actions have caused her to suffer social criticism and bullying from others.

People say blood is thicker than water, but can a blood relationship with a father she hasn't seen for seven years really erase the psychological trauma of her childhood, as well as the rejection and fear of her "murderer father" that she has developed amidst the controversy over the years?

Can't do it.

He returned home on the first day his father was released from prison.

It was also on that day that Meng Ye Chiqing looked at her father and found that both she and her father were avoiding each other's gaze.

She was afraid of her father, terribly afraid.

She had had tiny fantasies, but as she grew older, she could understand that her father's killings were definitely motivated by "revenge," and the scene in which he was finally arrested while sitting cross-legged in front of her mother's grave further suggested that there might be something else going on.

So she fantasized that her father would be able to explain to her what happened after he was released from prison.

I can forgive you for killing someone, as long as you tell me that you did it for my mother and that there was another hidden story behind her death, I will forgive you.

As long as you give me a truth that can convince myself, I will try my best to stop being afraid of you, and our inner demons will pass.

But nothing happened.
