A mediocre little goblin's love story

"It's really your cousin?" Wang Qi was a little surprised, he had never seen a cousin who looked so similar.

Xue Hong nodded, not paying much attention to that photo.

Xu Wei, on the other hand, grabbed the phone, deleted Xue Hong's photo in front of Wang Qi, and gave Wang Qi a warning look.

Wang Qi caught up with Xue Hong who was walking towards the basketball court again, and asked him: "Then you go play with me tomorrow, your cousin is in a racing club, there is an event tomorrow, let's go find him together?"

Xue Hong refused, "I don't want to go."

Wang Qi was very puzzled, could it be that the two brothers have a bad relationship?He thought of this possibility and thought it was normal.Brothers still fight, let alone cousins.This time, he was very disappointed.

Seeing his expression, Xu Wei snorted coldly.Seeing that the sky was about the same, he prepared to take Xue Hong home.

On the way back, Xu Wei also asked curiously: "I've never heard that you have a cousin here, don't you keep in touch often?"

Xue Hong looked around guiltily, and replied stammeringly, "Just... just don't make much contact."

In fact, he has a very good relationship with his cousin. When he first came here, his cousin asked someone to arrange for him to go to this school, so that he could meet Xu Wei.It's just a family rule, as long as anyone with fox blood on their body, no matter how many generations of mixed blood, they should try their best to keep away from each other, so as to ensure that they will not implicate their clansmen if they cause trouble.

I heard that some foxes also like to live together and help each other.But Xue Hong was timid and didn't dare to be disobedient. He tried his best to abide by the rules of the family.

Xu Wei also lost his mind, thinking that it is normal for cousins ​​not to be close, so he stopped asking.

After the two of them returned home, they found that Lin Yiqing had already prepared dinner.

Xue Hong washed his hands excitedly and was about to eat.

Seeing his appearance, Xu Wei couldn't help joking, "Is Lin Yiqing cooking better than takeaway?"

"Of course. Potatoes are potatoes, and chicken legs are chicken legs."

"What a metaphor!"

"It's just delicious."

The three sat at the dining table, and Lin Yiqing asked Xue Hong: "How is it? Is basketball fun?"

"It's so boring." Xue Hong looked disgusted, "There are so many rules, this is not allowed, and that is not allowed. Just say that I am wrong, so I don't want to play."

Xu Wei was silent at the side, but secretly having fun in his heart.He knows Xue Hong too well, so it is impossible for him to be a character who likes to play basketball.

Lin Yiqing stopped asking, and told Xu Wei when he thought of the courier he received at home today.

After the meal, Xu Wei checked the express delivery and found two boxes.One is some books he bought, and the other is hanging ear coffee sent by a friend.

He gave some of those books to Lin Yiqing, most of which were recipe books, and some were the list of books that Lin Yiqing specified to read.The rest is what Xu Wei wants to see, about editing and shooting.

While the two were dividing the books, they heard the sound of plates breaking again from the kitchen.They looked at each other and smiled, but no one went to the kitchen to check for the first time.

When three people live together, it is inevitable that many things will have to be divided.Xu Wei only cooks some Western-style dishes, such as spaghetti and steak. When Lin Yiqing doesn't want to cook, he will cook them, and he will be responsible for the purchase in the rest of the time.Xue Hong is responsible for the daily washing of dishes, such as simple things like taking out the garbage.

Although Xue Hong often broke the dishes, Xu Wei and Lin Yiqing still hardened their hearts and let him clean up in the kitchen by himself.

After Xu Wei sorted out the books, he opened the case of the hanging coffee, roughly checked the date, and brewed a cup.

It was Lin Yiqing's first time seeing this kind of thing, and he was very interested. "Is this considered coffee? I thought it was all powdered."

"That kind of instant coffee is the lowest-end. In order to save costs, the roasted beans are darker and not well blended. Most of them are Robusta. It tastes like pot water, and it has no flavor."

"What about this kind?" Lin Yiqing asked, pointing to the hanging ear that was soaked into the color of coffee in the cup.

"This is made by my friend. Specialty coffee only uses one kind of beans, and the roasting is light, which can better reflect the taste of the coffee itself." After Xu Wei explained, he lowered his head and smelled the smell of coffee, and said to Lin Yiqing: "Try it, these are Ethiopian beans, with typical citrus and jasmine flavors. My friend is very good. He roasts them with special care. Even the hanging ears are much stronger than ordinary commercial coffee."

Following Xu Wei's example, Lin Yiqing sniffed the cup of coffee lightly, but he didn't feel any similarity to citrus, let alone a floral fragrance.

Seeing his confused look, Xu Wei smiled slightly and said, "This requires sensory training. Eat more fruits, and you will be able to find the acidity and sweetness, and then find the tonality of the fruit."

"There is a lot of knowledge here." Lin Yiqing couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Coffee has the most complex taste in the world, and its flavor is much more complex than that of red wine."

When Xu Wei was learning coffee roasting, he met some roasters and baristas, and he basically went to all the famous boutiques in the city.Although he doesn't have many certificates, his senses are very good, and he has learned cupping systematically.He just wanted to take coffee as the theme and make more videos.

Many cafes also have desserts and western food. Xu Wei discussed with Lin Yiqing. He was in charge of writing about coffee tasting, and Lin Yiqing was in charge of writing about food tasting.In fact, there is no need to be really professional, after all, they are not gourmets, but in order to have something to say when writing blog posts, Lin Yiqing still asks to read more related books and learn.

This can be regarded as a theme they want to make a video.Xu Wei thought, it should be able to attract some interested people.In China, there are not many people who really know about coffee, especially about specialty coffee.He has also watched a lot of vlogs, and he has not seen a few of those who know how to drink coffee when he goes to a cafe, so he wants to make some popular science-related store visit videos.

Xu Wei and Lin Yiqing were busy in front of the computer and made some shooting plans.

Xue Hong also finally came out of the kitchen. He was still aggrieved when he first started doing housework.Often because of some carelessness, things are broken, or some bottles are knocked over, and they are packed up and down again and again.After doing it a few times, he has a long memory and gradually improves his efficiency.But today he broke something again, and he was very angry.

He walked into the living room and saw Xu Wei and Lin Yiqing sitting together, so he also leaned over, hugged Xu Wei from behind, put his chin on Xu Wei's shoulder, hoping that Xu Wei would notice him.

"Okay. I know you've worked hard." Xu Wei comforted him casually.

Lin Yiqing felt that Xue Hong was just a child at this time, so he also smiled and said: "I made jam, do you want to eat it?"

"where?"

Lin Yiqing went to get the jam and came out. He learned how to make it from online videos, and even experimented with shooting it himself.Just as Xu Wei said, set up brackets in several directions in the kitchen. The trouble is that it is a bit troublesome, but he looked at the final product and it was not bad.

Although they will not post these videos on the Internet yet, daily practice can make them more accustomed to finding the right shooting angle and improve efficiency.

The three of them ate jam together and agreed on tomorrow's travel plan.

In the morning Xu Wei took Xue Hong to run, in the morning they went to a boutique to check in, and at noon they went to a cafeteria.

Xu Wei plans to make a video of checking in at the store once a week to ensure the quality.The daily videos should be as short as possible, and then the series of videos will be summarized, such as what happens to the body if you keep running for 30 days.

Although their video was very controversial last time, it somehow retained nearly [-] followers.If there is attention, there is still hope, Xu Wei has already thought about it.

Early the next morning, he took Xue Hong for a run.The two of them planned to start a simple road run and check their physical fitness first.

Xu Wei also ran before, running seven kilometers on a treadmill every day, but he couldn't persist.However, he bought a lot of heart rate monitors. Thinking about it now, he also felt that he used to be a bit of a fool with a lot of money.Before anything started, I bought a lot of equipment first.

He put on the heart rate monitor for Xue Hong, and put on the camera for shooting, and the two started running along the street.

Xue Hong wanted to rush quickly at the beginning, but Xu Wei grabbed him and taught him to adjust his breathing.

"Don't be too fast. It's not bad to run five kilometers every morning. The important thing is persistence."

It was only five o'clock in the morning at this time. Although it was relatively early in the morning, there were very few people on the street, and some figures seemed to be out for exercise.There are also some older people who walk slowly, almost with dogs around them.

At the beginning, neither of them was tired. Xu Wei felt a little envious when he saw others walking their dogs.He also raised it when he was a child, but in the end he was sent to his grandfather.It was a black Labrador named Heicha. Every time he went back, Heicha would remember him, and he was very close.

He asked Xue Hong: "If we had a pet, what would you like to have?"

Xue Hong shook his head straight, "I don't want to raise it, and you don't want to raise it either. You just need to raise me."

Xu Wei was helpless, he was rarely seen a person who didn't like any animals.Most people either like cats or dogs, and some like special ones, such as snakes and mice.Even if you don't like raising pets, you will be happy to watch videos and the like. There are many people who suck pets in the cloud.

But Xue Hong really doesn't like the kind at all, which is really strange.

The two ran for a while, and Xu Wei was a little out of breath. Looking at his watch, he had already run three kilometers.

Xue Hongbai looked bored, and complained to Xu Wei, "This is really boring, what is the purpose of running?"

"Running can help people think and calm down." Xu Wei thought again that Xue Hong might not be able to understand such a profound thing, so he said again: "Just imagine that you have a bun hanging on your head, and you keep running and running. Always in front of your eyes."

After hearing this, Xue Hong didn't speak for a long time, and kept concentrating on running.

At first Xu Wei thought he was tired, but later he realized that Xue Hong was only thinking about the steamed stuffed bun.He patted Xue Hong on the back angrily, "I miss you a bun every day? When did you not eat enough?"

Xue Hong felt aggrieved, "Why did you hit me, I was thinking of roast chicken!"

Xu Wei couldn't lose his temper, he gritted his teeth, and cursed in a low voice: "Idiot."
