Chapter 176 Bought a pair of brogue shoes for Nan Nan
People working in the catering industry like Fengzeyuan basically work from morning to night, from day to night. Wang Jianye got off work at Fengze Garden at 7:30 in the evening. By the time he arrived at the courtyard in Nanluoguxiang, it was almost eight o'clock.

At this time, every household has already had dinner. Some people have to get up early to go to work the next day, or the children are sleepy, so they are now preparing to go to bed.

When Wang Jianye returned home, Wang Jiannan was soaking his feet and yawning, while Zhang Lan was sitting under a ten-watt tungsten filament bulb in the middle of the room, sewing a new cotton-padded jacket in the light.

Today is Saturday and tomorrow is the weekend. Wang Jianting, who was studying at a university away, also came back. She sat in front of Wang Jiannan and chatted with her about cats, dogs, people and other things in the school. She made Wang Jiannan laugh from time to time and made her yearn for college life.

"Mom, I have good news for you. Fengzeyuan ordered a complete set of furniture for me, with all 24 legs."

As soon as he put down the things in his hand, Wang Jianye smiled and said that such a good thing should naturally be celebrated by the family first.

"what?"

Hearing this, Zhang Lan, who was sewing a cotton jacket, looked at him in surprise and asked in surprise, "Really?! Why?"

Wang Jianye told Zhang Lan what had happened in Fengze Garden during this period, and Zhang Lan said happily, "That's great. Now I don't have to make furniture for you when you get married."

This can save a lot of money.

"Brother, what delicious food are you going to make tomorrow?"

When Wang Jianting saw Wang Jianye coming, she stood up, pushed Wang Jianye to his seat, and poured him a glass of warm water.

Wang Jianting attends university in the Fayuan Temple area, which is a bit far from Nanluoguxiang. It takes several hours to get back by bus. Before, she basically went home once every two weeks. But ever since she tasted how delicious the food Wang Jianye cooked was last time, she wishes she could go home every day to eat delicious food.

Wang Jianting had no classes this Saturday afternoon, so she took the bus back and waited for Wang Jianye to come home and cook for her on the weekend.

"What do you want to eat? I currently have ten signature dishes in Fengze Garden. How about making those?" Wang Jianye thought for a while and asked.

Wang Jianting nodded greedily, "Okay, okay, what dishes are there?"

Wang Jianye said it simply.

When Zhang Lan heard that there was fish, meat, and pork elbow here, she felt sorry for the money. "No, how much will ten dishes cost? It will be enough for our family to have several meals on a regular basis."

"Then just do a few less."

Wang Jianye's compromise made Zhang Lan agree.

Early the next morning.

After Wang Jianye cooked a state-banquet-quality homemade noodles at home, he was lucky enough to trigger three special effects. After eating it, he could add one day to his lifespan, one point to his IQ, and one kilogram to his strength.

Seeing Wang Jiannan and the others eating so happily, Wang Jianye thought to himself that his IQ had increased again, and it seemed that he was getting closer and closer to his goal of training four college students.

After eating and cleaning up, Wang Jianye, Wang Jiannan and Wang Jianting left the house and prepared to go to the market to buy vegetables. Wang Jianwen and Wang Jianwu stayed at home.

Zhang Lan wanted to go with them. Wang Jianye and his two siblings were going to buy so many vegetables, and she was worried that they would buy stale vegetables or overpay and buy too much.

"Mom, you forgot that I'm a cook. Not only can I cook, but I can also recognize dishes. I know which dishes are good and which are not. This is the basic skill. You can rest assured." After hearing Wang Jianye's reliable words, Zhang Lan gave him a few more instructions before she felt relieved and went back home to continue sewing her cotton-padded jacket.

Wang Jianye was pushing his new bicycle, while Wang Jianting was pushing the old bicycle he used to ride.

"Brother, let's switch."

Wang Jianting wants to ride a new one. The new bike is so beautiful and easy to ride.

Wang Jianye had no objection and switched with her.

After Wang Jianting got the new bicycle and walked out of the courtyard gate, she couldn't wait to ask Wang Jiannan to get on quickly because she wanted to ride the bike.

Seeing his two younger sisters happy, Wang Jianye was also very happy, and followed them by pedaling his bicycle slowly.

Before going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, Wang Jianye first fulfilled what he had promised Wang Jiannan, that is, if Wang Jiannan could get the first place in the grade, he would buy her a pair of brogues.

The results of this week's study test came out. As expected, Wang Jiannan went from third place in the grade to first place. So Wang Jianye, as the eldest brother, had to fulfill his promise. He first took Wang Jiannan to the mall and picked out a pair of beautiful brogues.

After putting it on, Wang Jiannan was extremely happy and kept asking Wang Jianye and Wang Jianting if it looked good on her. Of course it did.

"Just buy this pair."

Even if Wang Jianye worked for several hours in front of the stove with a hot fire, he would not be as tired as he is now. However, the sisters Wang Jianting and Wang Jiannan seemed to be tireless. They visited several shoe stores on Wangfujing Street, changing pairs of shoes one after another. At first, they asked Wang Jianye if the shoes looked good, but later they stopped asking because Wang Jianye would not say anything other than "good-looking"...

"Thank you, brother."

Wang Jiannan took off her new shoes and put them carefully into her bag. She was reluctant to wear them now. Then she held them in her arms, and the smile on her face never stopped.

Wang Jianting looked at her happy Wang Jiannan with envy. Her elder brother Wang Jianye had also made an agreement with her, but since they were in college, there were no tests at all during the normal years, only once at the end of the semester. If she wanted to be in the top 20 in the class in the final exam, she would have to wait for another month or so, which was very difficult.

Wang Jianye brought his two younger sisters to the vegetable market and bought some chicken, fish, meat, eggs, etc. Now you don’t need a ticket to buy things, just money will do.

In a few years, you will need tickets to buy grain and oil. In a few more years, you will also need tickets to buy meat, eggs and various non-staple foods.

At that time, Wang Jianye rarely had the opportunity to buy so many things at once like he does now, so Wang Jianye wanted to eat more good food before the days of requiring coupons came around, as it would be difficult to eat more in the future.

When he got home, it was around eleven o'clock in the morning. Wang Jianye washed his hands and began to prepare dinner. Wang Jiannan, Wang Jianting and others came to help.

At 12:30 noon, Wang Jianye had prepared six dishes, all of which were of state banquet quality. Among them, they triggered the following special effects: [Increase one day of lifespan] three times, [Increase one point of IQ] twice, and [Increase one minute of concentration time] once.

"The human IQ is between 90 and 110, which is normal. Between 110 and 140, it is considered a high IQ. If the IQ is above 140, it is considered a genius... I have made so many dishes with the special effect of [IQ Increase] recently, and my family has eaten many of them. Their IQs should be above 110, which can be considered a high IQ."

Wang Jianye was thinking that his second sister Wang Jiannan went from third in the grade to first, his second brother Wang Jianwen went from fifth in the grade to first, and his third brother Wang Jianwu went from twenty-ninth in the class to fifth. Their academic performance improvements were obvious.

This obviously involves the two special effects of [increase IQ by one point] and [increase concentration time by one minute].
