Chapter 142 Don’t talk about the value of gifts between friends
There is a line of letters printed on the red box——
HUAWEIMATE60RSULTIMATEDESIGN
Chen Jingle was stunned: "Is it that extraordinary master Hua Zi?"
"Yeah."
Li Beixing said with a smile: "I see your phone is quite old. I originally wanted to give you the latest model, but their latest model will not be released until the end of November, so I had to give you a 60RS version first. I hope you won't dislike it." ”
"It's too valuable, I can't accept it."
Chen Jingle shook his head hesitantly: "My mobile phone is quite new. It has only been used for two and a half years. It looks old because I haven't changed the mobile phone case for a long time. In fact, I have taken good care of it and it looks almost like a brand new one."
As he spoke, he opened the soft case of the phone, revealing the shiny background under the case.
He is currently using a digital series from Yoko's family. It has not been touched since it was put into use and is in 99% new condition.
Nowadays, the lifespan of mobile phones is generally 4-5 years. If it is not broken, he will wait until lag occurs before considering replacing it.
Li Beixing stopped laughing and frowned: "Why is it expensive? Shouldn't it be replaced after using it for more than two years?"
Chen Jingle was helpless: "A mobile phone worth more than 10,000 yuan is not expensive?"
He knew that Li Beixing's family was in good condition, but he didn't expect to give such high-value electronic products as gifts to ordinary friends.
A little flattered.
It's embarrassing to say that despite making so much money, he has never used a mobile phone worth more than 5,000 yuan.
Whether it is fruit or flowers.
Li Beixing stared at him: "Then how much do you think the calligraphy you gave me is worth?"
Chen Jingle was speechless.
When giving gifts to friends, it seems too vulgar to talk about money.
But if you think so, wouldn’t it be inconsistent?
The gifts you give to others should not be measured in terms of money, so should the gifts given to you by others should be measured in terms of money?
So he could only choose to remain silent, acquiescing that Li Beixing was right. But he still felt that the other party's gift was beyond his ability to bear.
I have never received such an expensive gift.
Li Beixing hummed: "You just think it's valuable. If it were me, I don't think ten mobile phones can buy this word."
She could have as many mobile phones as she wanted, which seemed expensive to outsiders.
On the contrary, Chen Jingle's calligraphy and painting are different.
And what he bought with money was different from what he gave as a gift. What I wrote according to my own requirements is different from what he wrote in advance.
How can it compare to just a mobile phone?
Seeing that he remained silent, Li Beixing became a little angry: "What? Do you have to ask me to accept it?"
Chen Jingle inhaled, exhaled, and smiled: "I know. Thank you! It cost you money."
He looked at the red box in front of him.
It is no exaggeration to say that this should be the most expensive gift he has received in 30 years.
Only then did Li Beixing raise the corner of his mouth and reveal a smile: "Don't be verbose, just accept what I gave you. Besides, you also gave me something. There is no reason to only accept gifts without returning gifts."
Chen Jingle nodded slightly, this matter was indeed someone's fault.
"Open it and see if you like it?" Li Beixing pushed the box in front of him.
Having said that, Chen Jingle could only open the box on the spot.
Tear off the film and open the box.
The box is divided into two layers. The upper layer contains the mobile phone alone, and the accessories are on the lower layer.
Chen Jingle chose to look at his phone first.
The red version is really beautiful. Although it is no longer a Porsche co-branded model this time, it basically continues the previous design aesthetic.
The back cover of the RS version is divided into upper and lower parts. The upper part is made of red ceramic, and the lower part and frame are made of red aluminum alloy. The octagonal lens module is very recognizable, with the XMAGE imaging brand logo in the middle.
No wonder he dared to sell it for more than 10,000 yuan.
He had watched the press conference. After all, hundreds of media reported it, and it was difficult not to attract attention. When I saw this version released, I was amazed.
After looking at it, he would not be willing to buy it.
What's more, his mobile phone had just been less than a year old at that time, so there was no need to replace it.
If Huazi had not been sanctioned and launched the 5G version before he bought Yaozi, he would probably have gritted his teeth and bought the 60 series standard version.
It's a pity that he bought Yoshiko first.
He neither pursues running scores nor is he a heavy game user. For him, an Android flagship priced at 2,000 to 3,000 yuan is completely enough.
It is worth mentioning that the 60RS model does not have a curved screen, which makes it feel much more comfortable in the hand.
The Yaozi model that Chen Jingle is using now has a curved screen, which sometimes causes accidental touches, which is not very user-friendly.
Overall, I am very satisfied with it, except that the three-hole design on the screen is a bit annoying.
A single punch hole under the screen is ugly, let alone three punch holes.
In terms of accessories, there is a car charger, two data cables, charging connectors, a pair of wired headphones, and a dark red protective case made of plain leather.
"How is it? Is it okay?"
Li Beixing saw that he was looking at it seriously and showing expressions of surprise from time to time, and he immediately knew that he had made the right gift.
Sure enough, when giving gifts to men, you have to give electronic products.
Chen Jingle raised his head: "It's very beautiful. Thank you!"
Li Beixing smiled so hard that his eyes turned into crescents: "As long as you like it."
Hers is the same one, but it’s the black version.
At Li Beixing's urging, Chen Jingle changed the mobile phone card to a new phone and migrated the data from the original phone.
The original Yoko will be the backup machine from now on.
……
After a lot of tossing, I finally got it done. "Oh, by the way, I have some good news to share with you."
Chen Jingle said: "I successfully sold a painting of meticulous flowers and birds online. After receiving the goods, the buyer expressed satisfaction and turned around to place an order with me again, and he bought ten paintings at once."
< br>
Ten pictures?
When Li Beixing first heard this, he was stunned: "So many? How did you price it?"
Chen Jingle said: "If we calculate it as 20,000 yuan for a four-foot piece, it is the same price as selling it to Boss Liu and Boss Long."
Li Beixing nodded. It was not a cheap sale. It seemed that he had met a big customer, which was a good thing.
But she was curious: "Are you short of money? I'm afraid it will take a long time to paint ten paintings?"
Chen Jingle said with a smile: "A little bit. Besides, it would be good to make more money, at least until I have enough money for retirement. As for how long I will be painting, it shouldn't be long."
Pension?
How old are you and you are already thinking about your retirement?
Li Beixing was speechless. She had not considered these issues.
This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!
Because there is no need to think about it at all.
Speaking of lack of money——
"How much do you lack?" Li Beixing looked at him.
Chen Jingle was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head: "No, no, just the purchase order is enough to solve my current problem. I originally wanted to buy a car, but I didn't want to divert my original savings, so I just wanted to make more money. Count the money.”
As soon as the topic of buying a car came up, Li Beixing became more curious: "It's okay to buy a car, but what kind of car do you want to buy?"
"Audi's A4L."
Chen Jingle chose Audi after all between Audi A4L and Cadillac CT5.
Otherwise, in daily terms, Audi is more balanced.
Furthermore, he has no need for bathing.
"I remember you drove an A3?" he asked Li Beixing. Last time we had dinner, I saw her car in the parking lot.
Li Beixing nodded: "Yes. Do you need me to ask sales for you?"
The owner of the Jiangbei Audi 4S store knew her father. When she went to buy a car, she got a very good discount.
If you introduce a friend to buy it, for the sake of the boss, the salesperson should give you a good price, right?
Chen Jingle was self-righteous: "Then I'll trouble you."
"Are you going to pay in full or take a loan?" Li Beixing asked.
Chen Jingle thought for a while: "Maybe I can borrow a little without affecting my normal life. But don't worry, we'll talk about it later."
Because at this time, the restaurant waiter came over and asked if he wanted to serve food.
It’s already dinner time, so you might as well chat while eating.
After the food was served, Chen Jingle opened the insulated lunch box he brought over.
Li Beixing looked a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "I just brought two dishes, one is Huaishan Four Treasure Soup and the other is braised pig's trotters."
Both of these dishes are serious, super hard dishes that require a lot of work.
Huaishan Four Treasures Decoction contains yam, hydrangea, cordyceps flower, and astragalus, all of which are qi-tonifying.
The soup is made from stock, and the meat is made from chicken and pork ribs.
Among them, yam contains the largest amount and plays a major role. Eating yam during the change of seasons in autumn can nourish the spleen and stomach, produce body fluids and benefit the lungs, nourish the kidneys and astringent essence, clear away heat and detoxify.
When the lid was opened, Li Beixing could smell the aroma of the food.
Looking at it again, I was even more amazed: "Your cooking skills are really amazing!"
First of all, this soup is probably the best soup in the eyes of Lingnan people. It feels perfect just looking at it.
As for the braised pig's trotters, they are rich in color, aroma and extremely tempting. At this moment, the appetite is at its peak.
He directly compared the two signature dishes of Xingyue Restaurant next door.
“So-so.”
Chen Jingle smiled and helped to serve the soup: "Get up your chopsticks!"
When Li Beixing saw this, he stopped being polite and took a sip of Huaishan Four Treasures Soup. His eyes suddenly lit up.
One word, fresh!
Extremely fresh!
As the saying goes, one hot dish is worth three delicacies. The soup must be drunk while it is hot. The taste will be completely different when it is cold.
The soup is clear, rich, meaty, and has such a complex taste that it makes people feel very comfortable after drinking it in one sip, and they want to take a second sip.
Moreover, the chicken and pork ribs are bone-free, so you don’t have to worry about the taste.
Even considering this, it’s great!
Although the braised pork trotters have bones, they are so soft and tender that they fall off the bones. The skin and meat will fall off if you pull them slightly with chopsticks, so there is no need to worry.
One bite, your mouth is full of gelatin, the glutinous aroma of the pig's trotters is completely released, it feels great!
Li Beixing, who was used to Aunt Wang's cooking, was completely amazed.
The last time it was so amazing was when I was traveling in Beijing and had it at a hotel in Beijing.
That is the existence of the so-called domestic food ceiling, and its standard is the standard of Beijing hotels.
But that was several years ago, so I don’t know if the taste has changed now.
At this moment, Li Beixing was very happy to experience this amazing feeling again.
She originally thought that she had already underestimated Chen Jingle's cooking skills, but she didn't expect that she still underestimated him.
This guy is really a monster. Who would have thought that a person who writes and draws can actually cook such good food.
Tsk~
Food is the most soothing thing!
Before she had time to think about it, she was completely conquered by the delicious food in front of her. She kept taking down her chopsticks while barely maintaining her image.
I can’t imagine how happy I would be if I could eat such delicious food every day.
