The Stingiest Boyfriend: The Entire Internet Begged For Me To Break Up

58 A Money-saving Skill Every Day

Chapter 58: A Small Technique to Save Money Every Day

“Where are we going?”

Lin Xi’s eyes lit up and she hurriedly asked.

“How about camping outside the city?” Chen Che looked at her with a smile.

“Alright! Coincidentally, I’m free tomorrow. Let’s go out of the city to relax!”

Lin Xi nodded excitedly.

In her memory, when she went out to play with Chen Che, they were still young. At that time, they were carefree. Now that many years had passed, they finally got what they wanted.

After agreeing, the two of them went to their respective companies.

As soon as he entered, a few colleagues surrounded him.

“Chen Che, are you alright?”

Kong Hao touched Chen Che and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that he was fine.

“Hey! Don’t touch me. I have a girlfriend!”

Chen Che teased, making everyone laugh.

“You still have the mood to joke? You really scared me to death yesterday. If Lin Xi hadn’t brought her people over, you would have been crippled!”

Kong Hao had also watched the live broadcast last night and was so worried that he did not sleep well the entire night.

“I’m fine, aren’t I? It’s just a small injury. It’s fine.”

Seeing that Chen Che was really fine, everyone was relieved and went to work.

After work, Chen Che specially picked a few sturdy plastic bags and walked north along the main road.

VJ followed closely behind with a camera. In the end, his stamina could not keep up, so he could only sit in the production team’s car and slowly follow behind him.

[What does Old Scrooge want to do now? The cameraman is exhausted, haha!]

At this time, everyone had gotten off work, and there were more and more people in the live-stream.

Chen Che arrived at a supermarket near the villa area. The shop assistant at the door was dragging a large box out.

“Hello, can you give me the abandoned foods from the supermarket today?”

The supermarkets near the villa area were all places for the rich to spend. The food in the supermarket had to be guaranteed to be absolutely fresh, so all the food that could not be sold that day had to be abandoned.

In fact, these abandoned food was no different from ordinary supermarkets. Every night, a shop assistant would deal with a batch.

The shop assistant was a young girl. Seeing that Chen Che was dressed plainly and was holding a few black plastic bags, she knew that his life was difficult and was too embarrassed to refuse.

“In any case, I have to throw these away. Of course, it’s fine to give them to you, but once you eat something bad, I have to take responsibility.”

“How about this? I’ll put the stuff next to the trash can and you can pick it up yourself. I’ll pretend I didn’t see it.”

Chen Che smiled and nodded. “Thank you.”

After the shop assistant left, Chen Che squatted on the ground to choose what he wanted.

The things in the box were all brand new and unopened. He picked some meat, prawns, sausages, and various vegetables and fruits.

Chen Che put everything into a plastic bag and left in satisfaction.

At this moment, the live-stream exploded.

[F*ck! As expected of Old Scrooge. He actually came to pick up abandoned ingredients!]

[If I’m not wrong, he is taking these things for tomorrow’s camping trip with the goddess!]

[You’re right, but I don’t think there’s anything bad about it. It can save money and not waste food.]

[Old Scrooge teaches a money-saving trick every day!]

The live-stream agreed and complained about Chen Che’s godly actions.

Some people did not understand. Chen Che had already received $200,000 as compensation, but he still picked up abandoned food to eat. Wasn’t this too stingy?

After returning to the self-service withdrawal hall, Chen Che even distributed a portion of the food he had picked up to the homeless uncle.

“Uncle, these are all from the supermarket in the wealthy district. Although they didn’t want them, they’re all fresh and unopened.” Chen Che handed them over.

The uncle took the food items with both hands and looked grateful.

“Thank you, Little Chen. You’re always thinking about me.”

“You must be tired from carrying so many things back. Hurry up and rest.”

Chen Che shook his head and smiled. “I still have to work part-time at the KTV later!”

With that, Chen Che stood up and left.

The uncle looked at his back and thought that such a hardworking young man’s hard times will only be temporary. Sooner or later, he would succeed.

The next day.

Lin Xi drove to pick Chen Che up. She was accompanied by VJ. The three of them headed out of the city.

After getting out of the car, Chen Che chose a spacious place near the river and prepared to start camping.

He first moved all the food out of the car, then found a few rocks from the river and built a simple stove.

Then, he found some clean branches and sharpened them with a knife before starting to skewer meat.

Lin Xi did not stay idle either. She spread out a floral picnic cloth, took out a few exquisite cutlery, and placed a few small cakes she had made.

On the other side, Chen Che finished skewering the meat, lit a fire, and began to roast the skewers.

...

After a while, the fragrance spread.

“Here, this is done. Be careful not to burn yourself.”

Chen Che handed the first string to Lin Xi.

Lin Xi took it and blew on it a few times. After taking a bite, her eyes lit up.

The meat was fragrant and juicy. It was actually more delicious than all the skewers she had eaten.

“Delicious!”

The VJ beside her couldn’t help but swallow his saliva when he saw Lin Xi eating the meat skewers.

At this moment, there were so many comments in the live-stream that the screen was almost blocked.

[Haha, I think I heard the VJ swallow his saliva just now. The child next door is so hungry that he’s crying.]

[Should I say that Old Scrooge is really omnipotent?! Other than being stingy, he doesn’t seem to have any other flaws.]

[I’m going to look for Old Scrooge to snatch the skewers now. Do you want to eat them together?]

...

Chen Che roasted a few more skewers in a row and did not eat a single bite. He gave most of them to Lin Xi and gave a few to the VJ.

As he ate the skewers while filming the VJ, he praised, “Brother, your cooking can open a shop!”

“Chen Che, let me roast it. You haven’t eaten yet.”

Lin Xi walked to the oven, wanting to take over from Chen Che.

“Can you roast it well?” Chen Che asked with a smile.

“I’ve never roasted it before. Let’s try it!”

Lin Xi was very interested. More importantly, she did not want Chen Che to starve.

Ten minutes later, Lin Xi held a few skewers of roasted black things and fell into deep thought.

She had clearly imitated Chen Che’s method of roasting. Why was Chen Che roasting so delicious? Why was she roasting a few skewers of charcoal?

At this moment, the comments in the live-stream occupied the screen.

Chen Che laughed. “Let me do it, little fool.”

“I’m not stupid! It’s just that the skewers don’t suit me. Why don’t I go catch fish?”

“I heard that the fish here are very delicious. Let’s catch one and roast it!”

With that, Lin Xi rolled up her pants and prepared to enter the water.

Lin Xi tiptoed into the water and bent down to look for traces of the fish.

Chen Che sat on the rock and looked at her with a smile as he ate the skewers. His eyes were filled with love.

“Chen Che, I can’t catch it!”

After a while, Lin Xi stood up straight with a defeated expression.

“Wait! I’ll help you catch it!”

As he spoke, Chen Che stood up and went to the side to choose a wooden stick. He sharpened it with a knife and strode into the water.

Chen Che’s eyes were like torches as he searched the water and quickly found traces of fish.

Pfft!

He quickly inserted the wooden stick into the water and raised it. There was a struggling fish hanging on it.
