Chapter 7

After returning home, Song Jixing washed and arranged the vegetables she had bought.

She taught her fellow disciples how to chop vegetables, start a fire, and use various kitchen appliances.

From operating the range hood to using the microwave, Song Jixing explained everything in great detail.

After explaining the usage methods, Song Jixing took out a stack of old appliance manuals from a drawer, saying, "All the instructions are written here. If there's anything you don't understand, take a look. If it's not in the manual, you can search for it online."

She installed various apps on her tablet for cooking, cleaning, and even transportation.

Today, Song Jixing specially prepared five dishes and a soup to teach her fellow disciples how to cook.

She demonstrated the various methods of handling ingredients, including cucumber salad, spicy stir-fried pork, tomato beef brisket, Orleans-style roasted wings, garlic bok choy, and a corn and radish pork rib soup.

The four of them ate everything on their plates, leaving nothing behind.

Since returning from the cultivation world, Song Jixing had noticed a problem: she had a bigger appetite than before.

As an actress, she had to manage her figure, which essentially meant eating less and starving herself. But because her appetite had increased, she continued to eat three meals a day as usual, and sometimes even more.

For today's lunch, Song Jixing made a lot of food, preparing portions for seven adults.

Seeing her senior brothers and sisters getting up to clean, Song Jixing wondered, "Are they full already?"

Yu Qing patted his still somewhat empty stomach. For this ancient monster who hadn't eaten for two hundred years, eating was a novel experience.

But he was genuinely not satisfied.

Yu Qing replied, "I'm okay. I'll drink some water later."

Shen Feixian added, "Junior sister, senior brother is not hungry. It's fine."

Feng Juechen was quite frank, saying, "I'm only half full."

Song Jixing blinked her beautiful eyes and smiled, "Then just say so! There's still plenty of food at home!"

She had thought she was the only one hungry.

So it turned out she wasn't a bottomless pit!

Song Jixing cooked the remaining soup into rice noodles and cut some frozen beef balls and fresh vegetables from the refrigerator. After finishing a bowl of rice noodles on her own, she finally felt satisfied.

Song Jixing mentally calculated that her senior brothers and sisters probably ate about one and a half times the amount of an adult. As a celebrity, she needed to maintain her figure, so eating normally was enough.

The only trouble was that her monthly grocery expenses would increase.

While her senior brothers and sisters washed the dishes in the kitchen, Song Jixing had just finished tidying the table when she heard the sound of her phone ringing.

She picked up her phone and saw that it was a call from Teacher Liu at the school.

"Teacher Liu, okay, I understand. I'll go to the school later to take care of it..."

"No problem, I'll be there soon."

Song Jixing hung up the phone.

Teacher Liu called Song Jixing to go to the school and collect her examination certificates.

Song Jixing was about to graduate, and she had already submitted her thesis. She had left behind a pile of certificates that she had taken at the school.

The meaning of the counselor's message was to send it to Song Jixing. They asked for Song Jixing's address because many classmates in the class were working and it would be troublesome for them to come back to school. Most of them used the mailing method.

Song Jixing declined; she wanted to go and get it herself.

Sending a package would cost twelve yuan, but taking the subway back and forth would only cost four yuan! The saved eight yuan could buy three jin of rice noodles!

Song Jixing said, "Senior brothers and sisters, I need to go out for a bit and get something from the school."

Several people nodded, and they could also hear some voices on the phone.

Song Jixing put on her slanted shoulder bag and packed a plastic water bottle and tissues inside. She was about to change her shoes and leave.

"Oh, one more thing!" Song Jixing suddenly spoke up.

Feng Juechen was mopping the floor, and he mopped very quickly. When he heard this, he looked up. "Senior sister, what's the matter?"

Song Jixing smiled awkwardly but politely. "I'll measure your sizes and buy some underwear for you!"

Feng Juechen nodded and finished mopping the floor, then stood next to Senior Sister.

The others followed along as well.

Song Jixing took out a flexible ruler that was placed next to the shoe cabinet and measured the hip circumference of the senior brothers one by one, then measured the waist and bust of the senior sister.

Song Jixing's face turned slightly red as she put away the ruler and silently sighed in her heart, "Senior sister has a really good figure."

Remembering the sizes, Song Jixing quickly changed her shoes and prepared to go out. If she dawdled any longer, she would encounter the evening rush hour when she came back! -

After receiving her certificate in the teaching building, Song Jixing walked on the campus road with the classmates who were finished with class.

The university campus is a place full of youthful vitality!

"Hurry up, it's almost four o'clock! The West Cafeteria will start serving crawfish soon! If you go late, they'll be gone!"

"Here, wait for me!"

Two or three college students jostled their way forward, then rushed towards the cafeteria with their backpacks on their backs.

Hearing this, Song Jixing stood still and felt a slight temptation.

Their school is considered the top university in Y City. The university cafeteria isn't particularly delicious, but because of the student subsidies, it's extremely cheap.

Song Jixing remembered that she still had two hundred yuan in her campus card! The expenses at home are high, so secretly taking advantage of a little school benefit wouldn't be too excessive!

Thinking this, Song Jixing also launched a charge towards the nearest West Cafeteria. Buy quickly and hurry home!

When Song Jixing passed by the square, many students were setting up advertising boards here to promote club activities, and posters were being distributed everywhere.

"Classmates, let's learn about the city marathon. The prize money is generous! Ten thousand for the first prize, eight thousand for the second prize. In addition to the city's rewards, we also have our own rewards for the first place!"

Song Jixing ran across the square, slowing down discreetly, and approached the male college student who was promoting the marathon posters.

With a polite smile on her face, she approached him. "Classmate, can you give me a brochure?"

The male student who was distributing the posters was struck by Song Jixing's beauty as she approached. He stood still for a moment.

"Classmate?" Song Jixing waved her hand, puzzled.

The male student snapped back to reality and handed Song Jixing a brochure. "I...this...it's about the marathon..."

The young man started to babble incoherently.

Song Jixing glanced at the poster, which provided detailed information about the registration process and competition events.

"Thank you, classmates!" Song Jixing expressed her gratitude and carefully folded the poster, placing it in her small messenger bag. She planned to go and register later.

Leaving behind a bewildered boy standing in the same spot.

The earnings from her online drama would only come next month, and even if she received them, it wouldn't be enough to feed her family of four. She had to find a way to generate additional income and earn more money.

Song Jixing ran quickly all the way to the West Cafeteria, leaving several people behind.

University students had varying schedules based on their different majors, so mealtimes were not consistent. The cafeteria served meals from 6 a.m. until midnight.

Standing at the entrance of the cafeteria, Song Jixing scanned the various food stalls on the ground floor.

She pondered what kind of food to bring back for her senior brothers and sisters as dinner.
