"Some time ago, there was a fierce competition. Your mother and I both watched it at home. Although we still can't understand it now, we already understand that e-sports and playing games are not the same concept. It is the same as sports.
Skills must be practiced hard to win the championship. The world is changing, and it is changing very fast. Many things seem ridiculous when they first appear, but within a year or two they become mainstream and become opportunities for young people to change society.
We are old and are a little slow to accept it, but it is not too late to understand now. If you are really determined to work hard in that industry, just go for it, and your parents will support you!"
"Dad..." Lu Yunqian suddenly burst into tears. Suddenly she reached out and hugged her father's neck tightly, crawling on his shoulders like a child and started crying.
"Good boy, work hard. Tell dad what you need. These... I can't give to your brother anymore." The corners of his father's eyes became wet, and he patted his daughter's back heavily.
Heng Daoyijian still looked at the sky, silently listening to the words coming from the other side. If these words could be heard two or three years ago, if he had not been angry at that time, and had a good talk with his father, maybe everything would be resolved.
The good side has developed. But now he is trapped here, unable to express his feelings to his parents, and unable to see the people he loves again. This is not so much God's mercy as it is a punishment for his ignorance.
The voices outside disappeared and turned into the clear cry of his sister and the heavy lamentation of his father. Hengdao Yijian suddenly felt a pain that was splitting apart in his body. The pain made him want to cry loudly, but he couldn't cry with such a body.
Gradually, he felt that the power to operate the character became chaotic, his hands and feet lost all feeling, and his consciousness gradually became blurred. Suddenly, his vision went dark, and his body fell softly to the ground.
"elder brother……"
"Brother! What's wrong with you?"
"Oops, he won't disappear again, brother... don't scare me. Dad just said that he agreed to my becoming an e-sports player, and he also said that he regretted not supporting you. Did you hear that?"
Lu Yunqian's urgent shouts came one after another from the sky, but Heng Daoyijian didn't even have the strength to raise his eyelids. He could only listen to the familiar voice shouting over and over in the darkness. He knew that he would not disappear.
Because there were still important things to finish, I rested for a while and slowly raised my hand to point at the chat box, sent a few short words, and then returned to the darkness.
"If you don't have the strength, take a nap."
"Take a nap...Okay, then just take a nap, but remember to wake up!"
Seeing the message from Hengdao Yijian, Lu Yunqian felt a little relieved, and after giving some anxious instructions, she slowly closed her laptop.
…
January 28, New Year’s Eve.
Another New Year's Eve has arrived. Although there is no laughter and laughter like before in the community yard, this year's New Year's Eve is not celebrated by Liu Jiangqing alone. There is also Xiao Yuan and Inuo, who is celebrating New Year's Eve in China for the first time.
"Can you do it? If you can't, don't do it. You'll crush them all!"
In the back kitchen operation room, Liu Jiangqing, wearing a chef's uniform, yelled loudly to Inuo, wrapping dumplings quickly under his hands. The dumplings born from his hands soon filled a whole box, each one round and plump, as if they were pressed out by a machine.
There are several plates of cold dishes on the counter behind you, the chicken stew pot is bubbling, the steamer is steaming, and everything in the kitchen is being processed in an orderly manner, except for Ino's dumplings.
"Why are you so obedient when you knead the noodles? Why does it leak out when I squeeze it?" Ino asked curiously. His two big hands were trying desperately to pinch the thin dumpling wrappers. But the dumpling fillings couldn't stop pouring out.
It gushed out from between the two layers of skin, leaving his hands covered with vegetable scraps and minced meat.
"Because you are stupid!" Liu Jiangqing said unceremoniously.
"Liu Jiangqing, you have to be patient when dealing with students. Besides, there are only three of us and you have cooked other dishes. It doesn't matter if you make the dumplings slowly." Xiao Yuan said tepidly and carefully made a small dumpling.
Put it on the plate. Although he has never made dumplings before, he immediately mastered the technique after watching Liu Jiangqing squeeze two. The dumplings are not plump and pretty, but they are no problem in the pot. Compared with Yi Nuo's broken skin.
Bad stuffing is much better.
"Yes, I'm studying hard, Liu, don't be anxious." Ino also imitated Xiao Yuan's tone and said.
"It will be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month when you learn how to do it!" Liu Jiangqing looked at Ino's clumsy look with disdain, her eyes showing the severity of a great chef.
In Liu Jiangqing's eyes, making dumplings is the simplest thing. Just put the stuffing in the middle of the wrapper, and then pinch the seal little by little. It is a thousand times easier than operating a psychic in a fierce battle. But Ino just couldn't do it.
The dumplings exploded when squeezed, either from the top or from the bottom, and none of them were successfully wrapped. From the time he started making dumplings until now, he had a lot of rotten dumpling skins lying on his hands, which was terrible.
"Let's cook some dumpling wrappers for him later. Don't waste it." Xiao Yuan also looked at the bowl of rotten dumpling wrappers and said with a smile.
"Okay, as long as it tastes good, I can eat anything!"
Ino readily agreed, but he was not serious about food. Because in the past few days of getting along with him, he had been completely captured by Liu Jiangqing's cooking skills. As long as it was something made by Liu Jiangqing, even if he didn't like it,
All the ingredients are as delicious as delicacies, and the dumpling wrappers are a no-brainer, too.
"Then there's no need to wrap them, one pot of dumplings and one pot of dumpling wrappers." Liu Jiangqing said, putting all the wrapped dumplings into the box and taking them aside to prepare for the pot.
"No, Master, there are still so many dishes, let's eat them together after wrapping them up!" Ino looked anxiously at the remaining dumpling fillings in the bowl. Although it didn't matter if he eat the dumpling wrappers, he also wanted to taste the dumplings.
"These are enough to eat, and the remaining fillings will be made tomorrow morning." Liu Jiangqing turned around and took away the rotten dumpling wrappers in front of Ino, turned on the stove again and sat in the pot to boil water, determined to give them to her.
He eats dumpling wrappers.
"Well, don't worry, we'll continue eating dumplings tomorrow, the first day of the Lunar New Year." Xiao Yuan comforted Ino, walked to the sink and started washing his flour-covered hands.
"This is my first Chinese New Year, can you leave two dumplings for me to eat?" Ino asked Liu Jiangqing pitifully.
"Hey, wash your hands and get ready to eat, otherwise the dumpling wrappers won't be yours." Liu Jiangqing dropped the dumplings into the pot with a clatter, then raised her hand to slide the dumpling wrappers into another pot, and at the same time closed the lid with a crisp movement.
Neat and admirable.
Half an hour later, four dishes, two plates of dumplings, and a bowl of hot and sour dumpling wrappers were placed on the long table in the center of the Zero-One Club restaurant. Liu Jiangqing changed out of her chef uniform, packed up, and came from the back kitchen.
I was surprised to see two bottles of liquor placed on the dining table, the same two bottles I brought back from the supermarket.
