What's this
Yun Zheng was surprised, but worried that Chen Jun was still by his side, so he remained calm. When he was alone, he quickly found a quiet place to investigate carefully, and quickly figured out what happened.
This thing that appeared in his mind out of thin air is called the Talent Auction House, similar to the system often mentioned in online novels. According to the system introduction, in this auction house, as long as you have enough wealth, you can exchange everything. And Yun Zheng's rebirth was the first gold finger that the auction house paid in advance after choosing him as the host.
Everything is possible to live again, but the system follows the principle of equivalent substitution, so Yunzheng also needs to pay a corresponding price.
The auction house system has conditions, the base wealth value must exceed one thousand. That is to say, in reality, the money in Yunzheng's hands must exceed one thousand. Otherwise, even if he is reborn, he will still die a week later.
one thousand...
Leaning on the railing beside him, Yun Zheng couldn't help being lost in thought as he looked at the distant scenery.
In his impression, at this time in Huaguo, prices are in the middle of rising. In big cities like Yanjing, housing prices are already in the tens of thousands per square meter. One thousand yuan is really nothing. But for Xingcheng, a small fourth- and fifth-tier city, it is enough to pay the monthly rent of a two-bedroom apartment.
Therefore, a week can be said to be very urgent.
But fortunately, the timing of Yun Zheng's rebirth was also very coincidental. It happened to be the last day of the second semester of the second year of junior high school. From tomorrow, the school will be on holiday. Yun Zheng can have a lot of time to do what he wants to do.
"Have you heard? Lu Ran, who was taken away by the Gu family, is back today." Not far away, two young students were chatting.
"Of course! I went to see it just now. The Gu family seems to attach great importance to him. Not only did they drive out several cars, but the so-called butler opened the door for him. It's very impressive."
"Hey, Lu Ran is lucky too, but he's an orphan..."
As the two talked, their voices gradually faded away. But Yun Zheng's face suddenly became gloomy.
That's right, today is the day when Lu Ran came back. With his blatant malice, he dealt a huge blow to Yun Zheng, who was not mature enough back then. It also brought indelible scars to the already crumbling orphanage.
Lu Ran said that because Yunzheng beat Cao Ming and offended the principal of No. 2 Middle School, the Gu family in Xingcheng was very dissatisfied and wanted to suspend funding for the orphanage.
Sending Lu Ran back to inform them was to save them some face. If it wasn't for Lu Ran's obedience, they would return Lu Ran as well. Xingcheng takes care of the family and does not raise despicable and shameless white-eyed wolves.
Oh, white-eyed wolf
Thinking of the definition Lu Ran gave himself when he was in the orphanage in his previous life, the corners of Yun Zheng's lips curled up in a sarcastic arc. It's a pity that this time, it can't be as Lu Ran wished.
—
Five o'clock is the busiest time of night. Yun Zheng walked alone on the way back to the orphanage. He walked slowly, out of step with the pedestrians around him who were eager to go home for dinner.
The orphanage was not far from the school, but it took only ten minutes to walk there.
Sure enough, the orphanage that was supposed to be very lively at this point was now abnormally quiet. Seeing him coming back, the uncle at the porter couldn't help sighing, and persuaded in a low voice: "Go back to the room and change your clothes first, don't let the old dean and you worry."
"Okay." Yun Zheng nodded.
"Good boy." The gatekeeper sighed twice, then pushed him in.
At this time, the atmosphere in the main entrance hall was very gloomy, the faces of several teachers were as deep as water, and many children were even red-eyed, and they were about to cry.
"I don't believe it! How could Brother Yunzheng beat someone with such a good temper!"
"I didn't believe it at first, but then..." Lu Ran paused, as if it was a bit difficult to say: "Then in the afternoon, Cao Ming's mother made a big fuss in the Gu family, saying that Yun Zheng was using the power of the Gu family to frame Cao Ming without a book. Nian, I want the Gu family to give me an explanation."
After finishing speaking, he seemed to think of something frightening, and shivered: "I heard it all with my own ears, and after Cao Ming's mother left, my father became angry, slapped me, and told me to come back."
"Dean, I really didn't lie, you believe me." Lu Ran said, tightening the corner of the old dean's clothes, and couldn't help crying. And his red and swollen side face and the bruises on his wrists were clearly exposed to everyone at this moment.
Lu Ran was originally good-looking, but after being pampered by the Gu family these years, she became more and more beautiful. Crying like this after being hurt again is extremely unbearable. The old dean sighed, pulled the man to his side, and comforted him in a low voice.
As for the few children who were originally confronting him, they didn't talk about it, and they felt very uncomfortable.
The situation is better than people, they are just a group of orphans, in front of the Gu family in Xingcheng, they are just random stuff. Even if you are wronged, you are not qualified to defend yourself.
To put it bluntly, it is sad to have no money and no rights.
Yun Zheng stood outside the window, watching this familiar scene, his suppressed anger flared up again.
In the previous life, Yunzheng was punished, so Lu Ran blamed him for beating up his classmates at school, which made him unhappy, which made the Gu family displeased. Many young people mistakenly thought that it was because of him that the Gu family cut off the donation to the orphanage. For a while, their feelings towards Yun Zheng were also very complicated.
But now, the punishment was not on Yunzheng, but Lu Ran still planned to pour dirty water on Yunzheng, which made Yunzheng's already cold heart add another layer of ridicule.
Lu Ran didn't have any affection for him.
Thinking of this, Yun Zheng took a deep breath, pushed the door open, and said in a loud voice, "Don't worry, the principal of No. 2 Middle School will probably resign."
"Yunzheng, you're back?" Seeing Yunzheng, the old dean frowned, and then he felt sorry for his injury, didn't care about asking other questions, and called for someone to bring the medicine box. He rolled up Yunzheng's sleeves and took a closer look.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Yun Zheng shook his head, avoiding the old dean's hand, then turned his head to comfort the little ones, and talked about the previous things in a gentle voice.
"According to the attitude of the leaders of the Education Bureau, the principal is in serious trouble this time. It is good to share the punishment. It is basically impossible to keep the position of principal. I am also a blessing in disguise."
"Hey, I don't care about this kind of blessing. I just hope that you are all well." Seeing Yun Zheng's indifferent smile, the old dean felt more and more uncomfortable. flushed.
It was because she was incapable and made the child feel wronged.
"So Lu Ran, what do you mean!" Now there was no need for Yun Zheng to argue, the other children who had been bluffed before questioned Lu Ran one after another.
"It's not what I mean, it's the Gu family." Lu Ran never expected that Yun Zheng would come out at this time and completely disrupt his plan. But he was used to Yun Zheng pampering him, so he took out the trick he had used to fool the old dean.
However, Yun Zheng's reaction was once again beyond Lu Ran's expectations. Not only was he not nervous about Lu Ran's injury, but he also looked at Lu Ran extremely coldly, and his words were full of sarcasm.
He said, "Lu Ran, since the Gu family treats you so badly, how about moving back?"
"How is this possible? The Gu family is my family!"
"Your house? But they beat and scold you at will, and they don't treat you as a human being at all. You move back, and the dean's mother and I will spoil you."
"But..." Lu Ran was choked and couldn't find his voice for about half a minute.
But Yun Zheng didn't give him time to react, and directly spoke his mind: "But you can't bear the power and power of the Gu family, how could you go back to the orphanage to live a poor life?"
"Lu Ran, when you were five years old and brought back by the dean, I brought you. Until now, you have been wronged, and I still stand in for you. Tell me the truth, you are in the Gu family. Was it that hard?"
Taking a step closer, Yun Zheng's tone became more sinister and terrifying: "It's hard work, and even the orphanage where you adopted yourself, you can't wait to destroy it with your own hands?"
"!!!" Lu Ran suddenly pushed Yun Zheng away, his eyes widening in shock.
Yun Zheng's last words were almost whispered in his ear. That extremely cold tone froze his body almost instantly and paralyzed his nerves.
In Lu Ran's past fifteen years of experience, Yun Zheng has always loved him as his own younger brother. It was the first time that such a blunt threat was made.
"Oh, you're stupid!" The boy who confronted Lu Ran couldn't help but sneered, "Why is the Gu family treating you harshly because Brother Yunzheng treats you harshly? Push it on Brother Yunzheng!"
"That's right, the Gu family are such bastards, why don't you just dump them back?"
"What a white-eyed wolf, I think you are the white-eyed wolf. Brother Yunzheng used to love you the most. If you arrange him like this, has his conscience been eaten by dogs?"
Most of the children in the orphanage were precocious, Yun Zheng only touched Lu Ran's thoughts, and the other older children all saw through his plan.
One word from you, one word from me, directly lifted Lu Ran's fig leaf, exposing his selfishness and viciousness to the broad daylight.
"It's not like this. Listen to my explanation. I didn't arrange Brother Yunzheng." Lu Ran came back to his senses and was so angry that he almost fainted. The feeling of being slapped in the face made him extremely humiliated. Especially those who scolded him were still the people he looked down on the most in the past.
After taking several deep breaths, Lu Ran managed to regain his composure.
"I didn't believe it at first, but the timing was too coincidental. My father also told me to avoid going to the orphanage in the future..."
"Stop talking nonsense. When he allowed it, I didn't see you coming back a few times. Don't make excuses for your ungratefulness!"
"You..." Lu Ran couldn't argue, and finally could only bury his head in the old dean's arms and cry bitterly. As for his pre-prepared rhetoric, since no one cooperated, he could only hold it in his stomach.
In the last life, Lu Ran pretended to be pitiful, making people mistakenly think that the Gu family treated him badly. He reluctantly endured it for the sake of the orphanage and Yun Zheng. But in this life, not only did Yun Zheng not cooperate, but he also cut off his escape route, making Lu Ran's plans all come to naught. Instead, he reaped the consequences and became the object of contempt for all the children in the orphanage.
After all, compared to Yun Zheng's bloody scars, Lu Ran's little embarrassment was nothing at all.
Yun Zheng glanced calmly at Lu Ran who was still trying to restore his image, and the sadness in his heart became heavier. Only when I feel that I was blind in my previous life can I feel that Lu Ran is a good person.
A timid girl next to him saw that his expression was not right, so she hurried over and hugged Yun Zheng's arm: "Brother Yun Zheng, the dean's mother said, go and rest when you are tired."
"Well, I know." Yun Zheng patted her head, knowing what the old dean meant. This is because he is afraid that his wound will be uncomfortable and wants him to lie down for a while.
However, although Yun Zheng understood, he couldn't follow the old director's words and go back to his room.
Just now when Lu Ran made such a fuss, the entire orphanage was shaken. As for the teacher who was in charge of cooking, he is also being entangled right now, staying in the hall and unable to leave.
Therefore, Yun Zheng cannot rest now.
It was the time when the little ones in the courtyard couldn't get hungry, and the old dean's stomach was not good either. Just because of one Lu Ran, the whole orphanage can't stop eating dinner.
What's more, when he just entered the door, he suddenly thought of a way to make money. If it goes well, not only can he escape the crisis of being wiped out by the system, but also the bad news brought back by Lu Ran can be easily resolved.
In the past, Yunzheng would go to work at an old man's noodle stall every summer vacation. Later, when the uncle got older, he followed his son to other places for the elderly, so he left the noodle stall where he sold noodles to him.
But since no one in the orphanage has that kind of craftsmanship, it has been kept in the backyard. But now, it is useful.
As a master of the former Huaguo culinary arts circle, what else is easier to make a fortune than relying on food
Thinking of this, Yun Zheng took the little girl's hand and walked towards the kitchen in the direction he remembered.
—
For northerners, noodles are one of the most common foods on the table. Yun Zheng opened the refrigerator, looked at the remaining materials in the kitchen, and thought about the ingredients he needed.
The orphanage has always been frugal. A few carrots, eggs, a piece of pork belly less than a catty, and the half-basket of day lily left over from before are all the ingredients Yunzheng can use right now. But even so, it was enough.
Because there are no poor ingredients, only poor cooks.
Food naturally has the charm of bewitching people's hearts, and Yun Zheng's calm and unhurried posture is also particularly pleasing to the eye.
The golden-yellow egg liquid is spread in a pan baked on a low heat, and it turns into a light and attractive egg skin in a blink of an eye. The wide-backed kitchen knife is held between the slender fingers, and with the strength of the wrist, the pork belly is turned into thin and uniform slices.
The pork belly is divided into five layers, the fat is clear, and the lean meat is firm. And Yun Zheng's exquisite knife skills set off this feature even more vividly. Just placed on the plate raw like this is enough to make people salivate.
The little girl next to him blinked, feeling that Yunzheng's smile today was more gentle and beautiful than before, and even these common foods became dazzling.
"Why are you so dazed?" Seeing that she kept staring at him without speaking, Yun Zheng shook his head helplessly, stretched out his arms to hold her away, and then returned to the cooking table, ready to fire.
Heavy oil should be used for frying saozi, and the most important thing is the heat. And these, for Yun Zheng, were all within his grasp.
The scalding hot oil sizzled, followed by a tangy aroma. Thinly sliced pork belly becomes thin and transparent under the action of heat. Among them, the unique mellowness of animal fat will also invade into the diced vegetables with the passage of time, and transform into another kind of fresh and sweet.
Finally, sprinkle a handful of pre-prepared chili noodles, pour in a few spoonfuls of mature vinegar, and serve with the soft and elastic cut noodles. The most attractive delicacy in home cooking can be fully presented in the bowl.
A bowl of simmered noodles turns the most common ingredients into a feast of delicacies with varied tastes.
The little girl who was accompanying Yun Zheng next to her was drooling at the smell of the aroma, she moved to Yun Zheng's side and kept asking, "Brother Yun Zheng, shall we eat this tonight?"
"Yes!" Yun Zheng patted her on the head with a smile, and told her to ask the old headmaster and the other children to eat, while he continued to divide the noodles with a spoon.
"Okay, okay!" The little girl ran out and shouted.
In a blink of an eye, the kitchen became quiet again. However, it didn't take long before there were light footsteps gradually approaching outside the door.
Yun Zheng turned his head and met Lu Ran's complicated eyes.

Lu Ran: Brother Yunzheng, don't you love me
Gu Yan: Well, he doesn't love [Indifference.jpg]
