7, Chapter 7
The man opposite the table seemed to be fixed.
After a moment, he coughed twice in his throat. His right index finger, which was placed on the wall of the cup, curled up.
Depend on.
A little devil who can act coquettishly.
Zhong Yu, in Wen Jin's words, is a skinless man without emotions.
From his mouth, you can basically hear a few words of human beings, let alone do much human affairs.
Last year, a building in the north district caught fire, and the recorders rescued a newly weaned stray dog. The dog had no place to go and was taken to the office by a girl who was full of love.
At that time, Zhong Yu happened to pass by and saw a group of recorders surrounding the mad dog like stars, so he naturally said something-
"Cake a hot pot?"
The tone was real and enthusiastic, which scared the little girl in the recorder so much that she asked for leave on the spot and escaped with the dog at the speed of light.
Captain Zhong added a little regretfully: "Forget it, there's not a few taels of meat."
Few people know that this kind of atmosphere destroyer who strives to make the inner barrage explode in the people around them was once a personal spirit.
He has developed the ability to be like a fish in water in various social occasions. With one look or one sentence, he can analyze the subtext of thousands of words.
This ability made him extremely alert to all his emotions.
[You don't like me.]
Most people don't speak that way.
People have the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm. They prefer to hear praise and are unwilling to admit failure.
Children who do not know how to suppress emotions often tend to use "I" as the subject and express their needs because of the emergence of self-awareness.
Who would use "you" as the subject? People who care about you very much.
What does the negative content mean? It means that he thinks you have the right to negatively evaluate him. He is vaguely decisive and narrowing his distance with you.
Therefore, this simple sentence has a bit of sticky and ambiguous feeling in anyone's ears.
The little devil had a bit of a bewitching instinct in his bones. Zhong Yu thought that he was not paying attention for a moment and was hit.
However, his heart still softened a little, and he rarely told the truth.
"I don't hate you, really." Zhong Yu said.
Suspicion appeared in Qiu Qiu's eyes.
"Tsk, what's your expression? The adult said 'real', and the child cannot question it. This is the rule." The bombing king was unhappy and leaned loosely on the back of the chair, lazily saying, "Did you remember, little baby."
"………………” Qiu Qiu became a little angry again!
"Eden is a virtual reality network community that was released many years ago. You can access the community by connecting a special login device to a bracelet."
Zhong Yu pushed Coke aside and started the topic: "After connecting to Eden, you will generate a virtual image, and you can teleport over in the community by choosing the landmark you want to go to. Of course, what is being transmitted is not your real person, but the virtual character you just set up."
He turned his head and looked at the light screen on the wall: "Just you just saw, the blue glowing human figure in the video."
Qiu Qiu tried hard to digest the information and nodded.
"Any place with the landmark of Eden, even if it is so far away from you, can be transmitted over in an instant. What you see, hear, hear, see, see, and see are almost the same as reality."
Zhong Yu said, gently rubbing his fingers against the water droplets on the surface of the Coke cup wall, his eyes hanging lazily: "They have an advertisement, why do they say... They can see the stars without leaving their homes?"
Qiu Qiu held the burger and opened his eyes wide: "Can you go anywhere? Can I go too?"
"It's enough to have landmarks. Museums and other things charge, which is very expensive." Zhong Yu said: "It's okay to go to a small shop. If you like something, the owner will send you......... if you pay."
Zhong Yu looked at Qiu Qiu's eyes from shiny to extinguish, and only four words were left before and after, and a smile couldn't help but leaked from the corner of his mouth.
"The food is not easy to ship, there are too many variables."
Qiu Qiu had a broken face and thought it was okay, but I had no money anyway, so I couldn't afford to eat Tengluo Street.
Just as I was thinking, a new program was broadcast on the light screen.
The golden carp occupies a corner of the strong presence in the picture, and various food images that make people feel appetizing flash by one by one.
When the meat hits the baking tray, it suddenly shrinks, splashing out some gravy; the shrimps fall into the steamer, and the water vapor churns, and the shell turns from green to red; the bright hot oil is poured on the crumbs of pepper, garlic, and the spicy aroma is pounding, soaking in the purple-skinned eggplant arranged into flowers...
"Menglixiang!" The young couple at the next table was excited: "It's the advertisement of Menglixiang. Oh my god, I'm hungry again!"
Before he finished speaking, the camera cut into a person.
"Hello everyone, I am Feifei, the reporter of "Daily Dangerous Yan"!" The girl smiled and said, "The famous chain restaurant in the alliance, "Mengli Township", entered Weiyan District. On the first day of its opening, the business was booming! You can see the long queue behind me... What? The number limit is at 10 o'clock!?"
The woman also made a shocked expression and then smiled: "Just kidding! Feifei, how can I stand standing outside and watching? Of course-"
The picture was all over, the girl was already sitting in the store with a few people: "——I've found the one who opened the back door for me!"
"Can you just say it directly when you open the back door?" The couple's mouth twitched at the next table.
"Introduction!" Feifei in the video said: "These three are famous two-star food commentators, who come to our Weiyan District specifically for the newly opened Mengli Township. Teacher Jiang, Teacher Qian, and Teacher Meng, come and say hello to our audience!"
"Hello everyone from Weiyan District, I am Jiang Li, the food commentator. Without further ado, let's take a look at what delicious food is available in Mengli Township-"
"Ah." Qiu Qiu narrowed his eyes: "I have seen these people."
Zhong Yu raised his eyebrows slightly: "What?"
"They scolded Xiaobai and beat him."
"..." Zhong Yu inexplicably: "Who is Xiaobai?"
"My friend." Qiu Qiu said.
"Your friend?" Zhong Yu repeated it, pretending to be surprised.
Qiu Qiu's attitude pursed slightly, and his speech speed increased unconsciously: "My friend, his name is Bai Xiaoxu. I took him home and invited me to a meal. It was delicious. I also helped him, and he was very grateful to me. His landlords, Grandma Zhou and Grandpa Luo, were also very grateful to me. The milk powder was given by them, and you even drank it."
Zhong Yu smiled for a long time with his forehead on his back, and then he stopped his expression after a while: "Well, how did you meet?"
Qiu Qiu felt that he was a little serious and stopped ignoring him. He roughly told about what happened at the side door of Mengli Township that day.
Zhong Yu kept listening patiently, and asked, "It's very difficult to eat?"
"I think it's unpalatable," Qiu Qiu said: "But you humans seem to like it very much."
"Don't that novice also finds it unpalatable? He is also a personal and a commentator," said Zhong Yu.
"Yes," Qiu Qiu smiled: "He understands me so much, I like him very much."
Zhong Yu was silent, not knowing what he was thinking, but suddenly raised his wrist and lit the light screen.
Then press your left hand against your auricle.
Only then did Qiu Qiu notice that there was a small black earring on the guardian's earlobe. The surface was matte and not easy to be noticed.
"Three Lung." He said coldly: "Who is in the tea room?"
I don't know what I said there.
"Let him work overtime and stare at the newly opened restaurant. What's the name of Yu Village?" Zhong Yu said.
Qiu Qiu was stunned. What kind of fishing village?
"Tsk," Zhong Yu frowned: "What's the problem? No problem. Dating? He's still dating when he's like that? Get me back and work overtime... Who has the final say in Weiyan District?"
After saying that, he turned his gaze, as if he had finished speaking.
Qiu Qiu looked at him stupidly.
...Does humans still have a look that cannot be dated?
Suddenly a ringing rings at the door of the store, and the caloric paradise welcomes a group of new customers.
Qiu Qiu subconsciously looked over and found that the new guests were lively and dressed in a fancy way. A tall and strong man carried something like a speaker with him, and the happy BGM was surrounding him, and he was so happy that he went wherever he went.
The group first walked to a table of guests near the door.
The girl in the lead was painted on her face, golden scales were stuck on her body, and a fake fish tail was dragged behind her butt, holding a stack of things and smiling brightly: "Sir, ma'am, Menglixiang is opening an event! As long as you write a good review on this commemorative album, you will be our Menglixiang best friend, and you can get a coupon for signature dishes! With coupons, you don't need basic consumption. Sir, are you willing to help?"
The guests at the table were obviously very willing, looking flattered. They not only discussed how to write good reviews, but also picked and selected from the various handmade stickers brought by Miss Carp, striving to post the most beautiful blessing. Everyone was eager to look at the door, and someone in the propaganda team took hydrogen balloons and distributed them one by one, and introduced the event to everyone.
The clerks at the Camera Park had noticed them a long time ago, but the restaurant had passed, and the store was not busy. Secondly, Menglixiang was too far from their positioning and could not compete, so they ignored it.
Not only that, two clerks secretly came out, trying to get the title of "Friendly Friend" and get a famous signature dish for free.
For a moment, the caloric paradise turned out to be like the New Year, and everyone was happy.
"Can you give food after writing it?" Qiu Qiu looked at the jam on his hand.
"Yes~" The girl dressed as a crayfish waved her pliers: "Choose any signboard in our store and eat it anytime!"
Qiu Qiu was really moved! The smelly ones were eaten!
The crayfish bent down and blinked mysteriously: "Tell the handsome guy quietly that if it is well written and the stickers are beautiful, we will give you two more coupons, and you can bring your friends to have a free meal! Is this gentleman also together..."
She looked at the man opposite.
Zhong Yu glanced at her lazyly.
The crayfish became cramped with its naked eyes and moved its mouth twice, and could not pass the jam paper out.
At this moment, a sound that was not very good-looking suddenly came from their right front.
There were two young girls sitting at the table before, and now they raised their voices and said unhappily: "Why, can't you leave a bad review?"
"No, if you have any comments, you can contact us first..."
"No communication, no satisfaction, no writing." Another short-haired girl slapped the jam on the table: "I queued up for three hours yesterday and it tasted like that. It's not good to eat something at this time with the money, so the fool just came over."
"Who is the fool?" A table next to them was angry.
This almost scolded the whole store. Anyone with normal emotional intelligence could not say that they were embarrassed and embarrassed, as if their happy behavior just now was very low and unsightly.
"Whoever should be fool," the girl rolled her eyes: "This shop has been blowing for many days, and it's annoying wherever you go. What are you doing? Why are you crying?"
The carp man's face was flushed. It was anxious, but she was indeed almost crying and said, "Miss..."
"Who is your sister?" The girl reached out and pushed her with annoyed. Unexpectedly, the carp had a heavy decoration. She sprained her feet and fell heavily.
"Damn! How awesome are you?"
"We have a sense of superiority after eating. We all think it's delicious, but you must be special, little brat."
"It's intentional, whose money was collected? I think you have a problem..."
The situation took a sharp turn, and the two girls were almost instantly criticized by thousands of people. Someone went to help the carp, some were surrounded and scolded, and some were taking photos of them.
The two of them had never seen this kind of attitude. Their faces immediately turned pale, they pressed against each other, and said in fear: "What are you doing? Can't I say a word? I just don't, I'm not satisfied..."
The negative immediately aroused a greater wave of condemnation, and the anger almost brought the entire store into it.
Qiu Qiu looked around in a daze, not understanding why the quarrel became like this before he understood.
A dazzling white light suddenly flashed outside the glass curtain wall, and muffled thunder then exploded, and the heavy rain suddenly poured down, calming the space for a moment.
Qiu Qiu subconsciously looked out because of lightning, but seemed to see a familiar figure holding something towards the store.
"noob?"
The figure turned around and ran away, running very quickly, almost disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Qiu Qiu stood up and rushed out of the store: "Xiaobai--"
The heavy rain poured, and the water splashed inward at the door of the store.
Qiu Qiu hated water and hesitated half-extending his feet, but suddenly someone pressed his shoulders down.
"Brother Zhong Yu." Qiu Qiu turned around and said blankly: "I seem to see Xiaobai."
Another lightning strikes down, reflecting Zhong Yu's deep face.
He calmed down and said, "Yeah. I saw it, don't go out."
The farce was not a big deal in the end. Zhong Yu kicked the mast in the middle of the amusement facility and showed the administrator's ID in the silence.
The blue projection as big as a palm was like a frozen spell. Everyone immediately stopped and was educated by the recorders who arrived in time.
But Qiu Qiu was depressed.
When the calorie park encounters such a thing, it has to close early, but he hasn't eaten enough of the burger yet.
Fortunately, when they were about to leave, a clerk called them, probably to thank Qiu Qiupai Fanzhu for taking care of their business all night and asked him if he needed to take away the remaining food in the store.
This kind of proposal is actually quite rude, but Qiu Qiu's appearance of "I still want to eat without eating enough" was too obvious. The clerk was bewitched by him and came over to ask in a hesitant manner.
"Is that OK?" Qiu Qiu's eyes lit up.
"Of course," the clerk breathed a sigh of relief: "There are still a lot left today, and our employees can't finish all the assignments. If you don't want to, just waste it."
What the clerk didn't say was that some of the wasted food was made more by the manager.
Because Qiu Qiu was eating too quickly, their kitchen was too busy, so the store manager waved his hand and emptied the ice warehouse, just in time to clear the inventory, and buy new goods tomorrow...
Never expected it.
Harmful.
Qiu Qiu carried three bags of hamburgers of various colors and asked curiously: "Do you have food that you can't sell every day?"
"Not that." The clerk bent his eyes and smiled: "Sometimes there is not much left, and it will be fed to nearby stray cats and dogs."
On the way back, Zhong Yu did not drive on the second floor of the empty track and returned smoothly to Tengluo Street in the East District.
Qiu Qiu thought about the whole process.
"If I open a store..." Qiu Qiu asked: "Can you eat something that cannot be sold by yourself?"
"Yes," Zhong Yu casually said: "Then you go bankrupt."
"I still have fifteen shops," said Qiu Qiu.
Zhong Yu laughed out loud: "Ah, then you are so rich."
After saying that, the car turned a corner, Zhong Yu stopped teasing him and said carelessly: "If you like it, open it and invest some money to buy the Eden landmark. Your own store does not have to pay rent, and the cost is not much. Most of the income of Eden's store does not depend on selling things, but live broadcast rewards. As long as your store is interesting, no matter how unpalatable the things you make, someone will buy it."
It’s great that Qiu Qiu was still touching the guardian in the first half. When he heard the last sentence, the touching smoke disappeared.
"It's not bad." Qiu Qiu was unhappy: "And that's the boss's wife's bun, not made by me."
As he said that, Qiu Qiu felt a little sad: "I have eaten all today, nothing more."
After a while in the car, Zhong Yu said, "So many burgers can't block your mouth? What's so special about the boss lady?"
Qiu Qiu thought for a while and said seriously: "It's different."
"OK."
Zhong Yu slapped the steering wheel, and the big Gu King landed with a bang, then rushed into the gate of Bailou courtyard, pressing wildly among the weeds in the front yard.
Qiu Qiu was so shaken that he almost hit the windshield. After finally stopping, Zhong Yu had already left the driver's seat while calming down.
The door was thrown heavily.
Is he angry?
Qiu Qiu was a little uneasy, pursed his lips and opened the door there, just in time to see Zhong Yu strode into the room.
After hesitating for a while, Qiu Qiu decided not to care about the guardian and dragged out his three bags of burgers from the back seat.
As soon as I entered the door, the living room was lit up and the kitchen lights were on, and a buzzing sound came out.
Qiu Qiu was stunned for a moment, rubbed his shoes off at the door, and ran into the kitchen barefoot.
The guardian turned his back to the door, opened a black square-shaped heater, and two white boxes were placed on the countertop on the right. Qiu Qiu leaned over and saw that it was an egg.
"There are only some eggs left at home, and you will be in trouble." Zhong Yu glanced at him, shook his wrist and picked out two eggs. He didn't see how he was doing. After the slight bump, the egg liquid was already in the white porcelain bowl.
"...just make do with it." He said.
Qiu Qiu didn't blink, and he felt that the guardian's movements were like magic.
The egg liquid was stirred by chopsticks, and a bowl of orange-yellow color was placed on the heater. Zhong Yu poured some oil into it, soaking the plate. After a while, the heat was slightly baked.
When the egg liquid with seasoning was poured down, the pot thorned, and Qiu Qiu got closer and closer. He wanted to fall into the pot, but was pushed away by Zhong Yu.
"The oil splashed onto the face."
Zhong Yu's tone was slightly impatient, and he didn't seem angry. Qiu Qiu observed it and became more courageous. Not only did he not allow him, but he also put it tighter.
"It doesn't matter if it's splashed." Qiu Qiu said.
Zhong Yu pushed him a few times and felt like this guy was like a big sticky cake that couldn't understand people's words. In the end, there was no way. He just thought that there was an extra sandbag tied with the left hand holding the pot handle and continued to stir-fry.
There was no other dish today, only scrambled eggs, so he didn't scramble the eggs too much. The oil was too hot, and the egg liquid gently fiddled into the center of the pot, and soon it turned into a loose circle.
He put out the eggs, and the tender yellow floe surface looked fluffy and tender, as if juice was about to flow out.
"No eating now." Zhong Yu knocked Qiu Qiu's hand with the handle of the spatula and put the egg on the insulation rack aside.
Qiu Qiu's eyes were almost stuck to the egg, and he was in a state of dismay.
Zhong Yu's eyes showed a smile, and he took the pot and added water.
Put the rock sugar in and cook it. After the water boils, gurgling bubbles appear. The eggs that were beaten into the spoon are slowly placed down. The spoon sways slightly and maintains its round shape. After the three eggs are down, the small balls float up and down.
Qiu Qiu was stunned and completely empty. He watched the guardian make another steamed egg that he had filtered three times with a filter mesh, and then removed the egg white and left only the egg yolk, added water, poured it into a large oil and fry it into a paste "yolked egg".
"Can you eat it?" Qiu Qiu had asked for the eighteenth time, and felt that he was so hungry that he was about to dehydrate.
The wilted guardian was not finished yet. He turned over a bag of white powder from the cabinet, sliced the freshly cooked white eggs, dipped them in powder, and fryed them in a pan.
"What's the hurry?" Zhong Yu bit a chopstick in his mouth while checking whether the can of salt and salt had expired. He said vaguely: "I'm not your boss's wife."
Chapter completed!
