5, Chapter 5
The man lying on the ground was named Bai Xiaoxu, who was a food commentator.
He struggled to sit up, his palms hurt bitterly. When he looked down, he saw that it was rubbing his skin and blood beads appeared one by one.
Bai Xiaoxu was quite afraid of blood, but now he couldn't show his timidity. He shook his hands and rubbed his clothes on his clothes in panic.
The three of them walked out of the door, two men and one woman, both of them, were his colleagues. They seemed to think what he said was quite interesting, and they looked at each other for a few times and then burst into laughter.
"You say it's bad to eat? Personal taste is biased. As a commentator, you don't understand this?" A man shook his eyebrows and said, "Oh, are you worthy of your hard work?"
The other two laughed even more happily.
"And don't worry, you won't need to be worthy soon - this year's review, do you think you can still pass? Not everyone can be a Samsung food commentator."
After hearing this, Bai Xiaoxu became short of breath.
His lips trembled, as if he had a lot to say, but he knew it would be useless to say it.
He slowly lowered his hand, feeling quite disappointed.
Samsung's certificate is not that easy to take, and there are many conditions that need to be met.
First of all, the working years are at least five years before you can get the exam qualification. The mechanism for reviewing working hours is also very strict, and you need to publish many comment articles at a certain moment. These articles naturally have requirements, including the level of the website, the popularity after publication, and even the recognition of seniors from peers.
Finally, of course there is a written test. Although they don’t need to cut vegetables and cook with real skills, they need to understand the practice of almost all the food in history and the evolution and development process.
Bai Xiaoxu is not old, but he entered this industry early and has been a Samsung commentator for a long time.
But three years ago, he accidentally offended a boss, and life began to be difficult after that.
When posting articles, they are always sent to some remote small places. Even if they are randomly rated by small restaurants, they will be asked to re-examined.
Just when he was about to endure it, he finally got an opportunity to come to the newly opened branch in Mengli Township with three colleagues for an evaluation.
There are not many famous stores like Mengli Township that Bai Xiaoxu has been stationed in several major areas before.
As a food commentator, he hasn't been to such a refined, elegant and famous environment for a long time. When he first received the task, he almost knelt down to his superiors.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a nightmare.
Mengli Township is indeed elegant and has a dreamy decoration. The boss even arranged the best seat for their commentators, striving to give them a perfect dining experience.
But as soon as the dishes were launched, Bai Xiaoxu felt something was wrong.
Too average.
It cannot be said that it is very unpalatable, after all, the price is here, but the food in this restaurant is completely understandard based on the deliciousness of the Huopan Alliance.
However, as soon as he expressed his doubts, the three colleagues showed subtle expressions.
"No, it's great! Xiaobai, are you in a bad mood?"
"I think it's okay, the taste of the branch is exactly the same as the main store, and there is almost no difference in the placement of the plate."
"Of course the same. The chef comes from the main store. He has to stay here for a year before everything goes on track before he leaves."
"What's wrong with Xiaobai, do you feel dissatisfied? So many commentators in the head office have posted articles... Do you want to be different?"
Bai Xiaoxu was sarcastic and suddenly reacted.
It's not his problem.
It's his colleagues who have problems!
His head was bloodshot and he couldn't believe that so many commentators had violated their professional ethics and weaved a lie with the colorful language.
He couldn't help but cursed a few times, and was soon pulled out by the security guards in the store.
Bai Xiaoxu knelt on the ground, his braids loosened and his head was full of embarrassment. He raised his head and the faces of the three colleagues in front of him were all distorted.
He was stunned for a while and suddenly said, "The fish frozen just now was not made with fish scales."
A man was silent for a while and smiled: "Why isn't it?"
"Fish freeze, take fish or carp, wash it first and then scrape the scales. Put the scales in the pot and cook it over high heat until it is cooked to make the soup sticky. In order to remove the fishy fishy, you also need to add some cooking wine and salt in the middle." Bai Xiaoxu gasped for two quick breaths, his eyes lit up: "...It will freeze after it becomes cold."
"What, you want to memorize the recipe for us?" said the female colleague.
Bai Xiaoxu lowered his head and said, "This thing looks too much like jelly. Various kinds of powder jelly are often used on the market to make up the numbers. For example, use fish bones to make soup first, add jelly glue, and pour seasonings on it and look similar. Others don't know about this trick, can we still not know? I will know the truth and falsehood after taking a bite. I don't believe you can't eat it unless you have shit in your mind."
This was ugly. A male colleague's face darkened. He just said, "So what?" but was stopped by another person.
The man still smiled and said, "I can't eat it, I know very well. The authentic fish jelly in Mengli Township."
The female colleague said condescendingly: "Yes, that's fish frozen. Why don't you go and look at your brain?"
Bai Xiaoxu felt dizzy and his heart beat very fast.
This helpless feeling is like putting a blackboard in front of you. It is clearly black, and such a simple and clear thing, but everyone around you said it is white.
Those voices chirping in your ears, repeating constantly, they are white, they are white, they are white...
"You guys," Bai Xiaoxu's fingers trembled violently: "Do you really think they are delicious?"
"It's delicious." said the three.
But a different voice penetrated from the side and rang with the three of them: "It's unpalatable."
The few people were stunned and turned to look, and found that there was a person standing on the left side of Bai Xiaoxu, and there was a little goldfish hanging beside the man?
Bai Xiaoxu couldn't see the goldfish in his eyes. He didn't even see the boy's appearance clearly, and there was only that sentence in his ears.
Unpalatable.
It was like a "white" sound, and a beam of light finally shone in, and someone told the truth.
The blackboard is black.
A colleague frowned: "Have you eaten it, it's bad? Why are you blocking the side door? Who are you?"
After saying that, he saw that he was holding Menglixiang’s bag in his hand and asked, “Does it be delivered?”
After hearing this, Qiu Qiu opened the bag rustlingly, dug it down with a spoon, chewed it all over his mouth, and said vaguely: "Well, I've eaten it now. It's really not delicious."
Everyone: "..."
No, it's not delicious, you can eat so much!?
Qiu Qiu performed a meal with a hungry tiger, and stood there in a few seconds and finished the big bag.
The three colleagues were stunned and didn't know what to do. Qiu Qiu ignored them and just looked at Bai Xiaoxu: "How are you okay? Can you get up?"
Bai Xiaoxu recovered a little, was pulled by Qiu Qiu and stood up.
He knew that Qiu Qiu was just a passerby and didn't know how to eat it. Perhaps he thought that the jelly made of fish jelly was better than the fish scales. But Bai Xiaoxu still felt that he was saved.
Want to cry very much.
"Do you... really don't need to deliver food?" he asked with red eyes.
Qiu Qiu was a little unhappy again, so he wanted to take the little goldfish away from here quickly. He paused and asked, "I'm leaving, are you leaving?"
"Let's go." Bai Xiaoxu nodded firmly.
"I'll give it to you." Qiu Qiu patted the little goldfish: "This is my new car."
The goldfish carried two people, swaying forward, and moved away at a provocative speed under the noses of the three colleagues.
As he drove onto the main road, the speed gradually increased. Qiu Qiu asked Bai Xiaoxu's address. Bai Xiaoxu clicked on the terminal and looked at it, and reported it out.
"Tengluo Street!" Qiu Qiu was surprised: "I live there too."
Bai Xiaoxu was stunned for a moment, then said happily: "Is that true! I think the rent there is cheap."
Bai Xiaoxu has just been transferred from another area and is temporarily stationed in Weiyan District. He has not even remembered the address of the rented house.
I didn't expect to make a friend so soon.
He happily drew the map: "Tengluo Street is very long. What is your house?"
"No. 0, come and play with me in the future." Qiu Qiu said.
"?" Bai Xiaoxu: "There is still number zero?"
"Yes." Qiu Qiu turned to look at his screen and said, "But it's not my home... it's my guardian's home. I live there... Hey, there is no number 0 on your map."
Qiu Qiu held the goldfish and sat sideways, and drove himself out to show him.
"Here, that's it." Qiu Qiu pointed at his light screen.
Bai Xiaoxu didn't pay attention to the map at all.
He only saw the small red square behind the translucent map.
It clearly appears behind "Qiu Qiu" and a string of ids behind it.
Red.
Red!?????
Bai Xiaoxu's heart was beating wildly, as if he was about to die suddenly in the next second, mom, it's red! I did something wrong in my previous life to sit back with a person with a red social condition!? Can I still breathe the air for the next second?
If he were a fish now, he would have been so scared that he would have turned pale!
"Did you see it?" Qiu Qiu asked.
"Look, I saw it!" Bai Xiaoxu broke his voice, like a screaming chicken.
"?" Qiu Qiu didn't know why he was suddenly nervous. After thinking about it, he pulled the corner of his mouth and "smiled".
Bai Xiaoxu: “…”
Bai Xiaoxu slowly calmed down.
Just, it's quite cute. No matter how you look at it, you're not a bad person.
Social security score is the abbreviation of the social security scoring system. The algorithm is complex and will not display specific scores to the outside world.
An ordinary person who abides by laws and regulations, the terminal displays green.
Those who have violated the rules but have not been sentenced recently will show blue. Blue has time limits, and the time will be converted according to the severity of the circumstances. After that, it will return to green.
Those with criminal records will show yellow.
As for red... Bai Xiaoxu actually doesn't know. He hasn't seen it yet.
Social security is the privacy of citizens, and unless it is actively displayed, others have no right to view it.
But background scores are useful, and the higher the score, the priority is enjoyed in almost all public systems that require optimized allocation of smart brains.
To give the simplest example, two people want to drive on the near-ground air rail at the same time, the system will give priority to those with higher scores, and those with lower scores will have to wait for them to pass.
It’s okay in Weiyan District. If you are in the capital, if you accidentally drop to the blue gear, you won’t think of driving.
Take the bus directly.
Oh, even if it's a bus, you may have to wait one more time than others.
Among the common sense that Bai Xiaoxu knows, former criminals in the yellow file basically have no right to enjoy public resources.
So what is red?
Bai Xiaoxu was calm and tried hard to brainwash himself, thinking that he would not be a criminal anyway.
The reason is very simple. The criminals are already yellow. The more fierce criminals than them... cannot get out of prison!
It makes so much sense, Bai Xiaoxu, who was still screaming in his heart, thought.
Forget the little red dot that makes people feel uncomfortable!
...
Food commentator Bai Xiaoxu was just arriving, but he became familiar with the surrounding environment of Tengluo Street faster than Qiu Qiu.
He has been alone in other places for many years, and his life skills are almost full, and he is quite romantic, so he takes good care of the rented house.
The next day he invited Qiu Qiu to have breakfast together, and Qiu Qiu immediately agreed.
Another day later, he invited Qiu Qiu to his house for skewers, and Qiu Qiu arrived very quickly.
"Do you... don't have a job? Or are you going to school?" Bai Xiaoxu couldn't help asking while eating skewers.
Qiu Qiu sighed: "I don't know what to do."
Bai Xiaoxu took care of his hair: "Don't you have a guardian? Do he have any suggestions?"
Speaking of this, Qiu Qiu had an objection and sighed even more: "The guardian hasn't been back for two days."
Not only did Zhong Yu not come back, but he didn't transfer the credit points to him, and the agreed burger was missing.
Qiu Qiu has been treating him for two days, so he has eaten in one bite and is very sad. He also sat out with the little goldfish and swung twice, but never met a good person like the boss lady, and no one exchanged food for him to help.
I only had one serving of braised pig ears from a deli tasting restaurant.
very nice.
Qiu Qiu finally realized the so-called "making money is very difficult". It turns out that no matter which world he is in, it is not easy to fill his stomach.
Bai Xiaoxu had no choice.
He stepped on the edge of the cliff and was also a loser. The two of them could only sigh at each other.
I don’t know if it was emotions that affected the weather, but the next day, Qiu Qiu woke up and felt that the light was wrong.
When the curtains were opened, a layer of black clouds were rolling in the sky.
The air was wet and damp, as if it was about to condense into water droplets out of thin air. Qiu Qiu felt that he was about to absorb water and swell, which was not very comfortable.
He opened the door and suddenly smelled a scent.
The guardian didn't go home two days ago, and the taste became much lighter, but now it's getting thicker.
Qiu Qiu thought the credit point and burger were finally coming to the account, and a smile appeared in his eyes. He looked around and saw only a change of clothes in the guardian's bedroom.
It turned out that I was not back, but I was back and left.
Qiu Qiu stood in the living room with some helplessness and gradually became angry.
Once in the abyss, he would occasionally get angry.
When he first advanced, there were still many demons in the abyss. He hid most of the time, but occasionally he could say a few words to some less vicious demons.
Later, the demon gradually disappeared, and even fewer living creatures were missing. He advanced again, and when he woke up, he found that he had eaten most of the abyss.
Even the cave where he sheltered from the wind and rain was gnawed off, and Qin Aotian was gone, and the blood rain slammed into his head.
I was very angry at that time.
Qiu Qiu sat on the small sofa in a daze, curled up his hands and feet in a daze.
The guardian doesn't like him, so he never waits for the guardian to come back. He doesn't want credit points and burgers anymore.
Just think he is an aromatherapy that makes the house fragrant.
Just as I was thinking, the bracelet rang.
Qiu Qiu answered, Bai Xiaoxu's voice came out, but this time he was not invited to dinner.
"Qiu Qiu, sorry," he looked tired: "Can you come and help me? My ceiling leaks and I need someone to help me..."
"Ah," Qiu Qiu didn't want to go out on rainy days. There were the last two buns at home, so he could hold on. But Bai Xiaoxu said this, and he opened his eyes slightly: "Here you come."
Bai Xiaoxu's rental house is very elegant and has a very good temperament from Vine Street. Except for the carefully decorated parts, they are all in a mess.
However, the leak on the roof is obviously not a rainy pot, because the rental house is on the first floor and there are three families upstairs.
When Qiu Qiu arrived, Bai Xiaoxu was standing at the bathroom door with fear. Qiu Qiu looked at it and was startled. The ceiling was sunken downward, like a plastic bag of water that would burst and explode at any time.
"It should be that the resident upstairs leaked," Bai Xiaoxu was blue and black, and his slutty braids were no longer tied: "I went up and knocked on the door, but I was not at home."
"Where are you looking for an administrator?" Qiu Qiu learned this trick after watching the cartoon.
If you have something to do, find the administrator.
"Line line." Bai Xiaoxu was helpless: "There are many accidents on rainy days, and I don't know when someone will come to see it."
Qiu Qiu stood there, and could see Bai Xiaoxu's fatigue at a glance. He was completely exhausted. Maybe he wasn't all tired, but he was... tired.
Yes, my heart is tired. Qiu Qiu feels that his Chinese level has improved by leaps and bounds.
"Don't be afraid." Qiu Qiu looked serious: "I will help you."
"Ah." Bai Xiaoxu was stunned.
Qiu Qiu's appearance is not the kind of reliable feeling, because it looks quite round.
Just like a person who is born with a small skeleton, you may look very thin at first glance. In fact, soft lines are drawn from soft flesh near each joint, making you realize that this person must be very soft and touched.
But when he stood there and said "Don't be afraid", it was cool. He seemed to have suddenly expanded to 1.9 meters tall.
Bai Xiaoxu's screaming chicken was pinched and squeezed again, making a strange creaking sound.
"Okay, help me!" Bai Xiaoxu laughed and felt a little more energetic: "I just borrowed a ladder next door and took a folding stool as a board. After a while, I climbed the ladder and pushed the stool flat upwards, so that I could hold on to the broken ceiling for a longer time. Just help me hold on to the ladder, I'm afraid I'll fall down."
Qiu Qiu looked up and just as he was about to nod, he heard a small sound, as if something had cracked.
Before Bai Xiaoxu finished screaming, Qiu Qiu jumped onto the sink with quick eyes and hands, stretched his arms, and touched the ceiling with his fingertips.
In the place where Bai Xiaoxu couldn't see, a transparent sticky mass formed into his fingertips, crawling into the almost invisible gap.
Slime has no mouth and can "eat" everything they come into contact with.
If he doesn't control himself, he can swallow the entire house in three seconds. But he can't taste it.
Now it's just a little water, and Qiu Qiu sucks it away with it. However, he doesn't like water very much, it makes him feel swelling and sparse.
It is an unlovable mucus species, but it becomes even more disgusting when it becomes thinner. Many demons say so.
Qiu Qiu only helped the edge of the ceiling, but the depression did not explode completely. Bai Xiaoxu just thought it was a lucky person and quickly moved the ladder in.
Before Qiu Qiu could wait for him to steadily, he jumped gently, sat at the top of the ladder, and raised his hand to support him.
That look made Bai Xiaoxu slowly raise his thumb: "Strong, too strong, you are the contemporary Pangu! The goddess of liberty! My idol Optimus Prime!"
Qiu Qiu: "?"
With Qiu Qiu sucking water, it would be impossible for the ceiling to fall off again.
After a while, the missing resident on the roof of the building contacted the landlord and the old couple arrived quickly. The most touching thing was the administrator, who actually arrived within two hours after calling for help!
Bai Xiaoxu looked dazed and thought to himself that my heaven, Weiyan District is a paradise, right? A ceiling leaked, and the administrator arrived in two hours. He loved the people as much as his son!
Could it be that my social security is so high?
Until he saw the recorder asking Qiu Qiu about his well-being.
"Mr. Qiu, is it okay?" The recorder respected and had a hint of fear: "I'm late, you can contact us next time using your terminal."
"Is there any difference?" Qiu Qiu was puzzled.
"Uh..." the recorder said heavily: "No."
Bai Xiaoxu thought to himself, why didn’t there be any? You know that little red dot, right?
The ceiling was dealt with urgently, and the responsibility was mainly on the residents upstairs. They forgot to turn off the water and soaked the housekeeper robot, causing a series of accidents.
The old landlord and the old couple thanked the tenant Bai Xiaoxu and Qiu Qiu who came to help. If they had not dealt with it urgently, the losses would have been greater and more difficult to repair.
The old couple carried two bags of gifts, gave Bai Xiaoxu and Qiu Qiu a bag each, and told them that it was milk powder produced by their son's farm and could not be bought easily outside.
"It's delicious!" Grandpa with his ears was very loud, and he was always afraid that Qiu Qiu wouldn't hear it, so he approached his ears: "Soak it in warm water!"
Grandma hit him: "What's the noise? Do they soak it in boiling water??"
"Why can't you use it? Many people soak it in boiling water!"
"That kid doesn't! He looks obedient!"
"I'm good too, I'll just boil water!"
"You're so kind!"
“…”
Qiu Qiu quarreled for ten minutes after hearing them or not, and was a little ashamed when he went out with his bag.
He really didn't know that he couldn't use boiling water to soak it, it seemed that he was not well-behaved.
The rain has started outside, not heavy, but it is drizzling and will not stop for a while.
Bai Xiaoxu had just arrived and had no umbrellas. Grandpa and grandma gave their umbrellas to Qiu Qiu, saying that their carriage was next to him, and the carriage was closed and he could go back soon.
So Qiu Qiu held an umbrella, sat in a little goldfish, carried two cans of milk powder, and drove the highest speed... and shook back to No. 0, Tengluo Street.
A black car was parked in the yard in front of the white building.
Qiu Qiu was obviously stunned when he passed by.
The car was overwhelmingly pressing on the weeds all over the ground. The plants that were originally growing in Gu style welcomed the Gu King from other places and were defeated vulnerable.
Is this the guardian?
Haven't seen it before.
Qiu Qiu thought, and stopped the little goldfish next to the Great Gu King and tiptoed to open the door. Sure enough, the Great Gu King's owner came back and there was a smell of fragrance in the room.
Qiu Qiu started to get angry again. Why can’t he eat it so delicious?
I can’t give birth to credit points, and I can’t give birth to burgers!
The living room lights were not on, and the guardian was already in his own room. The door was closed.
Qiu Qiu was not interested in saying hello to him, and returned to his house and rolled up his trousers' legs that were stained with mud. In the wet weather, he didn't want to take a shower, so he just rubbed his bare feet on the floor.
After a while, he felt so hungry again, so he covered his stomach and looked at the rain outside the window.
He likes everything he likes, but it tastes unique.
Among the things he has eaten so far, the best food is the boss’s wife’s bun.
The food in the spicy and sour teahouse is also good, ranking second, and Xiaobai's skewers are also delicious, ranking second....
The burgers in the laboratory and the cakes in the coffee shop are just as good as the cakes. The big cakes bought by Sister Jin have a strange taste, but the most unpalatable one is the "takeout" in Mengli Township, which is a little smelly. The people who make the food may be in a bad mood.
...It's so hungry.
Qiu Qiu thought, and suddenly an idea came up, is the guardian hungry?
He suddenly became nervous, and he thought that his guardian would covet his buns.
The piece of paper that said it was unedible because he had taken it around and had been put aside and was not covered on the bag. What if the guardian didn't see it and ate the bun?
Qiu Qiu immediately jumped off the windowsill, ran into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and saw that it was there.
Well, Qiu Qiu immediately disappeared halfway.
Chapter completed!
