Chapter 149 Telepathy
Li Qin washed himself by the pool while paying attention to the system notifications.
Just as he had predicted:
In just the short time it took to wash the dishes, he once again gained a lot of emotional energy;
The majority of the funds were provided by the male lead, Sha Zhu, and the female lead, Qin Huairu.
This pleased Li Qin greatly.
Originally, He Yuzhu was trying to set a trap for him today, and Li Qin wanted to secretly teach He Yuzhu a lesson.
However, considering the large amount of emotional energy he had just provided, he decided to let Sha Zhu go for the time being.
After quickly washing the bowls, chopsticks, pots, and pans, Li Qin went straight home.
After Li Qin left, the people by the pool immediately began to talk in hushed tones.
The main subject of the discussion is naturally Li Qin;
"I never expected Xiao Li to have such culinary skills. Just by smelling the food, I know it must be delicious."
A woman who was washing and cleaning suddenly spoke up.
As soon as she finished speaking, another woman next to her nodded in agreement.
"Yes, I can't say anything else, but one thing is certain: Xiao Li's cooking is much better than Sha Zhu's."
Upon hearing this, the remaining people around immediately showed expressions of approval.
They had all smelled the aroma that had filled the courtyard.
They had also smelled the aroma of He Yuzhu's cooking before.
The conclusion is easily reached through comparison.
For a time, Li Qin's cooking skills began to be compared with He Yuzhu's, and most people felt that Li Qin's cooking skills were better than He Yuzhu's.
However, the women who were discussing the matter did not see that He Yuzhu happened to walk past them while they were talking.
Hearing that his proud culinary skills were inferior to Li Qin's, he was deeply saddened.
He Yuzhu's face immediately showed a look of resentment.
He wanted to argue, but when he thought about how the aroma he had just smelled was indeed better than what he had made, He Yuzhu suddenly lost the desire to speak.
In fact, he knew very well that Li Qin's cooking was indeed very delicious.
If the taste can be on par with the aroma, then Li Qin's cooking skills are indeed better than his.
Although he knew it in his heart, He Yuzhu was not the kind of person who was willing to admit that he was inferior to others.
What's more, the other party is none other than his "enemy," Li Qin.
"snort!"
In the end, He Yuzhu could only let out a heavy snort before going home with a dark expression.
Only after hearing the commotion did the crowd notice He Yuzhu's presence.
The women felt embarrassed for talking behind each other's backs and getting caught, so they stopped talking.
They quickened their pace, finished their work, greeted each other, and then left.
After Li Qin neatly put all the washed dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen, he returned to the house.
As for the kitchen door, he still didn't lock it.
And the reason remains the same as before.
The people in the courtyard now are not like they will be a few years later. They are still quite particular about their belongings, and there are almost no reports of things being stolen.
Another thing is that in Li Qin's kitchen, besides some cornmeal bought from the grain station and some mixed flour, there was also some other grain.
There was nothing else.
He wouldn't take out the food produced in the planting space.
Only when eating will a portion be secretly taken out.
The grains placed in the kitchen were more of a disguise, making people think that he ate the same food as everyone else.
It's not like the three years of hardship anymore. Other families have these things. Who would steal these things for no reason?
As for the rest, it's just some oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar.
Although these items were somewhat valuable, Li Qin didn't keep many in the kitchen.
Therefore, there is no need to worry about it being stolen.
Of course, the most important reason is that although Li Qin did not lock the kitchen, he actually secretly cast a locking spell on it when he left.
Unless Li Qin takes the initiative to break the curse, it will be impossible to open the kitchen easily.
Of course, the door-locking spell isn't a magic bullet.
If a ruthless person chooses to break down the door, they can open the kitchen.
But that would change the nature of the situation.
Although Li Qin thought the rule of not locking the doors of the courtyard houses was a bit absurd, he did not intend to be too unconventional.
If everyone else leaves the door unlocked, but he locks it whenever he goes in or out.
One possibility is that it would make people think Li Qin is petty and wary of the residents in the courtyard.
Another reason is the suspicion that there is something special in Li Qin's house, otherwise why would he lock the door?
Taking all this into account, Li Qin decided to follow the crowd and not lock the door.
However, if you leave, a locking spell will be secretly cast on the door.
That way, everything can be taken into account.
Li Qin carried the brewed tea straight into the study.
It was already dark outside.
He used to have to use a kerosene lamp, but now he doesn't need one.
He had already installed electrical wiring in the house when he was renovating it.
Lights were installed in every room.
Li Qin even went to the power supply bureau to submit an application for this purpose.
From now on, Li Qin will need to pay the electricity bill every month based on the number of light bulbs in his house.
Now he lives alone, and the two bedrooms on the second floor are hardly used, so he will definitely have to pay more for electricity in the future.
However, this was all small change, and Li Qin didn't care about it at all.
After turning on the light, Li Qin sat at his desk and casually took out a traditional Chinese version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms from his ring space.
This was also copied from the library.
He would sometimes flip through it, just to pass the time.
Li Qin was leisurely drinking tea and reading a novel, unaware that the deaf old lady next door was extremely dissatisfied.
The old lady's ears were not deaf at all; on the contrary, they were very sensitive.
She simply pretends not to hear things she doesn't want to hear.
The deaf old woman naturally smelled the aroma of the meat that Li Qin had cooked earlier.
She was also the first to discover that Li Qin was the one who made the meat.
If it were anyone else's home, she would have gone there directly by now.
But she couldn't do it with Li Qin.
Although Li Qin had lived in the courtyard house for more than a year, he had always lived in the front courtyard and rarely went to the middle courtyard.
As for the backyard, he has never been there even once.
The deaf old woman and Li Qin had only met two or three times.
The two of them never exchanged a single word.
Therefore, their relationship can only be described as slightly better than that of strangers.
The deaf old woman was also worried that if she went directly to Li Qin's house, and Li Qin didn't give her face, she would be in a difficult position.
The deaf old lady originally planned to wait until the older woman delivered the food, then subtly suggest that the woman step forward, or that Yi Zhonghai get some meat from Li Qin.
What she didn't expect was that before she could even make a move, Yi Zhonghai actually came to the backyard.
And they approached Li Qin.
This could also be considered a kind of telepathic connection.
And Yi Zhonghai did not disappoint the deaf old woman.
After some build-up, she also expressed her hope that Li Qin would be filial to her.
Li Qin's initial answer pleased the deaf old lady greatly.
Just when she thought she was about to have another filial, obedient, and sensible "good grandson," Li Qin unexpectedly took a sharp turn.
But it almost knocked the deaf old lady over.
