Chapter 016 Someone asks you to play chess
As meal time approached, Xia Xiaoshu had to entertain Boss Wu for a light meal no matter what.
Money was tight, so Xiaoxia didn't dare to buy any meat. Fortunately, the types of seasonings she bought were not too small. She just cut some potato cubes and diced radish, and Xiaoxia was going to make some stew for noodles.
Seeing Xiao Xia preparing to put red pepper into the iron pot, Boss Wu quickly dissuaded her.
"What? Can't you eat spicy food?" Xiaoxia asked with a smile.
"Oh! When I was working hard, I knew I was stupid and damaged my stomach. The doctor said it was taboo."
"Actually, I can't eat spicy food either, so I'll add more shredded ginger."
"My family usually makes stewed soup, and the ingredients used are similar to yours. It doesn't smell as fragrant as yours. Are the ingredients from the countryside fresher after all?" Boss Wu said casually while standing next to the stove.
A few words.
"It should be because the proportions of seasonings are different. It is said that the relationship between ingredients and seasonings is far from simple addition, subtraction and subtraction. I once calculated that the excitation relationship between them is far greater than the power of
It’s so complicated!” Xiaoxia explained a few words with a smile.
"Really? So complicated? It has something to do with mathematics."
"That's right. Let's talk about onions, ginger, and garlic. Take them as a group and mix them with oil, salt, sauce, vinegar... even if the number of ingredients is relatively small, the base of the combination of the three groups of elements is
It's not a small number. If we take into account the order of delivery and the changes after mutual stimulation, and then arrange and combine them, it will be complicated. Speaking of which, a first-class chef is actually quite bad.
Simple.”
"Is it so complicated? Most of the good cooks I know have little education." Boss Wu responded disapprovingly.
"Then I don't know. However, taking this noodle soup as an example, I have calculated it repeatedly, and you also said that it smells different."
"That's true! I don't understand, why do you have to stay in such a poor place with such a good brain? Even if you want to be relaxed and comfortable, you can just find a training school in the city to tutor the graduating class children.
, at least a few thousand a month! Why do you have to suffer here? The conditions here are too difficult!"
"So, that kind of place is not as easy to treat as you think! By the way, what's the matter with you traveling all the way?"
"Someone wants to ask you to play a few games of chess." Boss Wu responded with a smile.
"Isn't it? Just for this matter? Can't we just make a phone call? Who is that person?" Xiaoxia felt very strange in her heart.
"Haha... I couldn't tell you clearly on the phone, Shang Yixi, have you heard of this name?"
"I don't know, your friend?"
"I'm not familiar with him either. I've heard people say that this guy is a good businessman. Recently, for some reason, I've been idle at home, and all my business in other places seems to have been transferred to others. After all, I've made enough money.
I really don’t know whether I want to enjoy a few days of happiness or lose money.”
"Why did he think of coming to play chess with me?" Xiaoxia sounded a little confused.
While talking, the stewed soup was ready. Xiaoxia brought the small iron pot to the inside of the stove, replaced it with a larger iron pot, poured water in it, and prepared to cook the noodles.
"Didn't you help me save a game a few days ago? At that time, someone noticed that your way of playing chess was a bit strange, so he chatted with Mr. Shang when he went back. The next day, Mr. Shang went online.
He came to see me and said he wanted to ask you to play a few games of chess."
"Really? What do you think of his level?"
"It shouldn't be bad. He said that after many reviews, he felt that the moves you used to revive the dead should not belong to the moves in the Go circle. He said that you used methods other than Go."
"Oh! Listening to this, Mr. Shang must have been playing Go for many years. How old does that person look?"
"She is in her thirties, fair and fair, looks quite elegant, and speaks steadily. Anyway, she looks different from ordinary people."
"As you can see, I'm so busy here! How can I even bother to play with him? Let's talk about it after a while." Although she said this, Xiaoxia was quite puzzled, even if Mr. Shang was a Go player.
Master, Boss Wu doesn't have to go to the countryside for such a trivial matter.
"No! I've traveled all this way, so why don't you give me some face?"
Xia Xiaoshu smiled and said some casual greetings: "The pot is boiling. Let's eat noodles first. Are you used to the soup being thicker? Or?"
"I'm not that particular, I can just make a bowl of it. Don't tell me why this noodle smells so good!"
"Hahaha... you are hungry."
After finishing one bowl, Boss Wu felt as if he still needed a bite, so he ordered another half bowl of noodles.
"Your appetite looks pretty good!" Xiaoxia said with a smile.
"Mainly the stewed soup you made is too fragrant. I usually can't eat so much."
After dinner, the two returned to the office and continued talking about playing chess.
"Xiao Xia, to tell you the truth, you also saw my Internet cafe. The machines should have been replaced a long time ago, but I have no money..."
"Oh! Listening to your words, Mr. Shang will not agree to lend you money to update the Internet cafe equipment, right?"
"Yes, yes, but it's not a loan, it's an investment." Boss Wu responded with a smile.
"Why does it sound a little wrong to me? Nowadays, the Internet cafe business is a sunset industry! As you just said, Mr. Shang is a good businessman. What kind of business makes money, doesn't he know better than us? He is
Are you planning to engage in charity? Are you investing in someone you don’t know very well for no reason? You are probably fooled, right?!" Xia Xiaoshu felt that this was a bit unreliable.
"I also muttered that an old neighbor of Mr. Shang always came to my place to play games, so I asked him about it. According to him, Mr. Shang came from a scholarly family and his family background was quite good.
He is also quite reliable in his behavior."
"That so-called old neighbor also likes to play Go?"
"Yes, yes! It was he who mentioned to Mr. Shang that you helped me turn defeat into victory."
"Even so, this thing still doesn't sound very logical. Scammers have learned much better in the past two years. Don't run into a swindler disguised as a Go master!"
"No, haha... Mr. Shang's parents are both respectable people in Lishi, not ordinary people like us."
"Really? I advise you to be more careful. Why don't you just play a few games of chess! That's easy to say! After I've been busy for a while, don't I have to go back to the 'Qibao Hall' to pay for someone else? I'll stop by your place to play with him for a while.
Well, it’s been a long time since I met a real master, so I’m taking this opportunity to practice my skills.”
"You agreed?" Upon hearing this, Boss Wu suddenly beamed with joy.
"It's a trivial matter! Next time you encounter something like this, don't run to the countryside again. Just make a phone call."
"Haha... I didn't want them to give me some investment money earlier!"
"Do you really believe it? Haha... I guess people just said it casually, but you took it seriously."
"It doesn't even look like it..."
"Okay! It's getting late, you'd better go back to the city early! If you go back late, your lover will have to scold you again."
"It's not that...it's nothing like that, haha...then I'll go back!"
"Let's go! I'll see you off!"
