The handicraft world of the future

"Do you believe?"

Bai Qiuyu didn't believe it, he always only believed in himself.

"Half-trusted."

It can't be said that he didn't believe it at all, but he didn't believe it to the point where he wouldn't eat it when he saw a pear that was separated, so he picked up another pear and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Master, you let me contact the cattle farm I was looking for."

Xiaobai ran over again suddenly, with a tone of relief after completing the task assigned by the master.

"found it?"

Lin Xiaohai didn't react in time, and it took him a while to remember that he asked Xiaobai to find a reputable cattle farm more than a month ago, and asked them to deliver fresh milk every three days.

"Yes."

Xiaobai nodded, although the master also drinks milk now, but what he drinks is nutritious milk that has been processed and sterilized at high temperature, while the master makes him drink fresh milk, there is a difference between processed and unprocessed.

"What did they say?"

Lin Xiaohai smiled at Bai Qiuyu and asked him to wait a while.Bai Qiuyu held up a cup of Xiaobai's brewed tea and saluted him, expressing that he didn't care.

"The cattle farm said yes, but we have to pay for the courier fee."

After all, the milk from the cattle farms is supplied to those large dairy processing plants, and such small sales are not accepted very much. It was only because Xiaobai called every day to plead this month that they agreed, but the express fee has to be paid by the buyer. I have to bear it myself, and the milk fee is settled monthly. The main reason is that Lin Xiaohai doesn’t ask for much, only ten credit points at a time, and only [-] credit points in a month. The amount is too small and they are not easy to account for. Woolen cloth!

"can."

Lin Xiaohai agreed without hesitation and asked Xiaobai to handle the matter. At the same time, he transferred [-] credits to Xiaobai to let him be responsible for the monthly settlement with the cattle farm. The fresh milk he needs will be needed every day. This is a long and tedious task.Robot servants also have their own accounts, but the maximum number cannot exceed [-], so that while they help their masters, they must also limit their development.

"Yes, Xiaobai will reply to them now."

Xiao Bai walked aside to deal with the fresh milk.

"What do you want fresh milk for?"

If human beings drink milk that has not been processed at high temperature, it is easy to have diarrhea.

"I use it to soak my hands."

An unexpected answer.

"Soak your hands?"

Bai Qiuyu never thought that Lin Xiaohai ordered fresh milk every day just to soak his hands?

"Yes. In fact, I also use rice washing water to wash my face and hands. Xiaobai will clarify the rice washing water every day when he cooks and put it in the bathroom in my bedroom for me to use."

Lin Xiaohai knew that what he did was a bit strange, but the teacher who taught him embroidery thousands of years ago asked him to do it every day.It's just that fresh milk was not easy to find at that time, and there were not many people raising cattle, so he always washed his hands with rice washing water and pure milk.After traveling for a thousand years, the original body did not take care of his hands, so they looked a little rough. Lin Xiaohai was very careful when embroidering things, for fear of damaging the satin and silk threads.

It's just that it takes a lot of time to restore smooth and delicate hands that haven't been maintained before, so Lin Xiaohai planned to use a two-pronged approach, washing his hands with rice washing water, and then soaking his hands in fresh milk.Of course, the usual pure milk can also be used, but Lin Xiaohai thinks that the fresh milk just squeezed may be better, although it tastes very fishy.

"And this statement?"

Bai Qiuyu thought for a while about the embroidery masters he knew with his grandfather. It seems that their hands are not like ordinary people's hands. They are not smooth and delicate. Bai Duo said that the old people's hands are as good-looking as the young people's, which is very Rare.

"Yes, I have!"

Lin Xiaohai explained to him carefully, because the materials Lin Xiaohai uses for his hands are not those very precious materials. Of course, the main reason is money. Although he has a good income now, the precious fabrics are all handmade. If it is woven, the price is no less than one of his embroidery pictures.Another reason is because of his hands. After several months of deliberate maintenance, his hands are much better than before.

"No wonder I've never seen you chop and wash vegetables. You let Xiaobai do it. Even if you cleaned the room, I didn't see you doing it."

Bai Qiuyu suddenly realized that he thought it was because Lin Xiaohai didn't have enough time to go to school, so he asked Xiaobai to wash and cut the vegetables, and he could just fry them when he got home, but the root cause was this.

"Then won't you hurt your hands when you cook?"

Splashing oil on your hands can hurt your hands too!

"Healing liquid, one thousand credits for a bottle, can be used ten times, even if your hand is cut with a knife, it won't leave any scars after a few days of wiping it on." Lin Xiaohai advertised.The repair liquid is made of a variety of animals, plants and minerals with strong recovery power, and the price is much more expensive than ordinary ointments.

"It's really good to use repairing fluid to treat burns."

One thousand credit points can only be used ten times, and ordinary families will also prepare a bottle.It's just that ordinary families don't have such a luxury for people like Lin Xiaohai who even apply repair fluid to minor burns.Most of the small wounds encountered by this kind of cooking oil splashed are cooled with cold water, or applied with ice. If the family is better, they can apply some ointment. They are reluctant to use repair fluid.

"Brother Bai, you didn't say I was extravagant?"

Lin Xiaohai, who is very concerned about his hands, is most afraid of being told that he uses repair fluid for minor injuries, which is too extravagant and wasteful.And some people will say that if you are so afraid of hurting your hands, you should not cook by yourself. Isn't this hypocritical?Lin Xiaohai was said so thousands of years ago.

"Luxury?"

Bai Qiuyu, a real rich man, said in surprise, "A thousand credits can be used ten times, is this considered a luxury?"

"..."

"I like to cook, and I think the food I make tastes delicious." Thousands of years ago, Lin Xiaohai had to do the housework by himself. Although their Lin family was a well-off family, they were not rich enough to hire servants. Everything needs to be shared by the family.Lin Xiaohai is not a squeamish person, but he is more careful when doing housework, so as not to hurt his hands, some heavy work as long as his brother is at home, he will bother his brother, and Lin Xiaohai also has to do heavy work at other times. Parents, let's do it!

"I think so too."

Bai Qiuyu, who likes to eat the food made by Lin Xiaohai, is not embarrassed at all, and it is not difficult to see his thick skin.

"Can I touch your hand?"

Bai Qiuyu was a little curious. Although he used to think that the masters' hands were beautiful, he didn't think much about them. Only now did he realize that they deliberately took care of them, so as not to damage the material and silk thread when embroidering.

"sure!"

Lin Xiaohai generously passed his hands over.

"So soft!"

Lin Xiaohai's hands were not so flimsy, white and tender as frost, crystal clear, icy skin, but they were whiter and smoother than his hands.There was a thin layer of calluses on Bai Qiuyu's hands. Lin Xiaohai didn't know what caused them, but he was sure it wasn't from writing, because Bai Qiuyu had such thin calluses on both hands.Even if you write, it is impossible to write calluses on all ten fingers, whoever has such ability, please tell him, Lin Xiaohai wants to watch.

"Compared to your hands, of course they are soft! In fact, my hands can only be regarded as having just passed the embroidery industry, and I still dare not use those precious and rare materials."

How distressed it is to break it. For an embroiderer, a good material is as important as when a carver encounters a good piece of jade.

"Then it's too harsh for you to do this."

Wouldn't these master embroiderers be able to do anything if it weren't for the robotic servants?

"Actually, it's okay, just pay attention to it at ordinary times, and there is no need to deliberately avoid it."

Lin Xiaohai is like this, he still does manual work in the same way, but pays more attention when doing manual work, so as not to hurt his hands.After all, these are just hobbies in his spare time, and embroidery is what he really wants to continue.

"That's it!"

Bai Qiuyu understood, so he just said it!If nothing can be done, it is impossible for this embroidery to be preserved until now, and it has been abandoned by human beings long ago.

"Yes."

Lin Xiaohai laughed, and Bai Qiuyu laughed when he saw him laugh.Xiaobai, who came back from handling the fresh milk, saw that the master and Mr. Bai laughed, and it also laughed, and everyone in the room laughed for a while, although the total amount was only two robots.

"Xiao Hai, have your grades come out yet?" Zuo Long put one hand on Lin Xiaohai's body. They just finished the handicraft exam.As long as it is the exam that the teacher taught this semester, it took three consecutive exams to finish the exam. After all, there are many courses in the handicraft department, and basically you need to do it slowly to do well, so it will take longer.

After Lin Xiaohai's hard work for a while, Zuo Long actually passed the final exam this time. Of course, the score just crossed the bottom line. Teacher Qin asked him to continue practicing hard at home after the holiday and not to relax.

"Out."

You and others in the handicraft department basically get their scores on the spot, so it doesn't take long after the test to find out your last score.

"Very high."

Zuo Long opened his mouth so wide that he could stuff his own fist into it.

"Don't be ashamed, let's go." Zuo Long's expression was too exaggerated, causing all the students next to him to look over.

"Xiao Hai, you are no longer human."

Zuo Long, who was dragged for a hundred meters, finally recovered his sanity.

"Not a person? What else can I be?"

Lin Xiaohai almost knelt down to this man, why is he no longer a human being after the exam?Could he still be an alien?Lin Xiaohai pondered, he can say with certainty that even in his previous life thousands of years ago, he was just an ordinary earthling.

"God!"

Zuo Long answered without thinking, Lin Xiaohai staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"What nonsense?"

Lin Xiaohai was about to be blown up by him, he couldn't even speak when he was more than ten years old.What kind of god is not a god, Zuo Long's words spread and it is time to raise hatred for him.

"I'm not talking nonsense! If you don't believe me, let senior Bai judge."

When the two walked out of the school gate, they saw Bai Qiuyu leaning on the car. There were already many boys and girls around him, and many more courageous students asked for his communication number, but Bai Qiuyu rejected them all. Seeing Lin Xiaohai and Zuo Long coming out, he strode forward to take the schoolbag on Lin Xiaohai's back and the book in his hand.

The handicraft department exam is not afraid of students reading books. It is useless for those who don’t work hard at last, and the results of reading books in the written test only account for a few percent of the final score. Even if the written test is passed, the actual operation is the same. If they were caught cheating, their grades at the end of the semester would be cancelled. Who would dare to be so foolish?

"What should I judge?"

Let Lin Xiaohai get in the car first, then Zuo Long, and finally Bai Qiuyu.Those surrounding students automatically moved away when they saw Lin Xiaohai. This student who was famous in the whole province's No. [-] high school was a little happy and unpredictable in the eyes of the students, so they could only watch from a distance.

"Huh, elementary school brother?"

A senior sister saw Lin Xiaohai sitting in the car, and she pulled the male classmate beside her.

"Where?"

The male student is also a loyal admirer of Lin Xiaohai, and he is also a third-year handicraft student.

"Let's go." The senior sister looked at the car that drove away and felt sorry. She still wanted to ask Lin Xiaohai two questions!It seems that we can only save it until the next semester. Why doesn't Junior Hai refuse to tell them his communication number?The senior sister wailed in her heart.

Of course, it is for the holiday not to be disturbed by you.Lin Xiaohai thought to himself, feeling happy for his foresight.

"What are you laughing at? So happy." Bai Qiuyu sat on Lin Xiaohai's right, and Zuo Long sat opposite them.This is a large and luxurious limousine. Although its appearance is very similar to that of a thousand-year-old car, its personality is much stronger than that of a thousand-year-old car, and its speed is also incomparable to that of a thousand-year-old car.

"You must be laughing at your grades! Tonight, Xiaohai is treating me to dinner. I want to have a big meal."

As soon as Zuo Long got into the car, he told Bai Qiuyu about Lin Xiaohai's achievements, making him feel honored, as expected, like a big brother.

"I invite you, let's celebrate Xiaohai becoming a member with full marks and winning the school's first-class scholarship of [-] credits."

Provincial No. [-] High School’s scholarship is the same as other schools, it is issued once every half semester, and the top prize in each department can receive the first prize at the end of the semester.The rest of them received the second prize of [-] credits, which is quite a lot. Compared with other high schools, they got [-] more credits, and the province is really rich.

"Senior Bai's treat? Then I want to eat hot pot today. Let's go to Hot Pot City to eat."

As soon as Zuo Long heard that it was Bai Qiuyu's treat, he changed the idea of ​​eating at home to eating at Hot Pot City. Anyway, Big Brother Bai is an adult and can make money by himself. He has to bleed a lot today. It was a dish cooked by Xiaohai and myself.

"eat hot pot?"

Lin Xiaohai looked at the sky outside, and it was already past five o'clock, and it happened to be dinner at this time.

"I do not mind."

Bai Qiuyu didn't care too much and said, "What do you want to eat? Today you are the protagonist. Tell Brother Bai what you want to eat. Bai Dalin will pay the whole bill today. Just take whatever you want."

"Xiao Hai, hot pot is hot pot."

I'm afraid that Lin Xiaohai chose other cuisines, so senior Bai must first meet Xiaohai's request, as for his senior Bai, he will just pretend that he didn't hear.

"Okay, let's eat hot pot!"

Lin Xiaohai couldn't help laughing, Zuo Long's anxious look was funny, no wonder Brother Bai always bullied him.

"it is good."

Sure enough, Bai Qiuyu only listened to Lin Xiaohai, and seeing that he had said so, she asked the driver to turn around and go directly to Hot Pot City.In fact, Lin Xiaohai can also make hot pot, but the family did not cook bone soup yesterday and in the morning and afternoon. The bottom soup of this hot pot is very important. The soup is not delicious, and the taste is much worse.

It's winter now, when the hot pot city is the busiest, many people come to eat hot pot.Hotpot City is a catering city composed entirely of hotpot restaurants. It is located far away from the province, one east and one west. It is also afraid of disturbing the students in the school. Therefore, there are no schools around Hotpot City. Here Not many people live because it is too noisy.

Bai Qiuyu chose a hot pot restaurant that looked very tall, and he walked in with two juniors in a big way.When I walked in, I saw that the diners were actually wearing suits and dresses to eat hot pot. Is there any mistake?

Seeing the notice outside, those with disheveled clothes are not allowed to enter.What is disheveled?Is it disheveled not to wear a suit and dress?Besides, if you really want to dress neatly, Lin Xiaohai thinks that wearing Hanfu is more suitable, because hot pot is a traditional delicacy in Huaguo.Wearing a suit and dress should go to eat western food, which snake spirit ruled this?

Fortunately, Lin Xiaohai and Zuo Long were wearing the school uniforms of Provincial No. [-] High School, which were also suits. The waiter who opened the door looked at their school uniforms with envy.It seems that Provincial No. [-] High School is indeed very famous in Province S, even the school uniform.

"Everything here is imitating the business model of a hot pot restaurant thousands of years ago. The waiters are all real people. The hot pot ingredients are all vegetables grown by workers and poultry and livestock raised by workers. Of course, the price is not cheap."

Bai Qiuyu asked for a four-seater table, holding the order menu in his hand while flipping through it and introducing it to Lin Xiaohai and Zuo Long.As for the fact that the snake spirit disease that can only be entered in suits and dresses is a buddy's business, let's not talk about it. He is afraid that Lin Xiaohai will also think that he is a snake spirit disease and refuse to contact him.

Although Lin Xiaohai didn't say anything, his eyes had already betrayed him.

"Duck blood, duck intestines, hairy tripe, mutton, crispy sausage, fish balls and shrimp balls. You can also bring some beef balls. Xiao Hai likes meatballs. What else do you want?"

Bai Qiuyu ordered a bunch of meat dishes, Lin Xiaohai twitched the corners of his mouth.

"Tofu, potato chips, lotus root, enoki mushroom, kelp and rapeseed." I ordered six vegetables in a row, how can I just eat meat!

“Chicken Chicken.”

Seeing that there was little meat in the dishes he ordered, Zuo Long dared not.

"I ordered the chicken mandarin duck hot pot, which has it."

Bai Qiuyu patted him on the head with the order menu in his hand, don't forget that he is also a carnivore!

"How can there be enough food in the hot pot?"

Zuo Long is not so afraid of Bai Qiuyu now, the main reason is that Xiao Hai is still here, Bai Qiuyu can't see the monk's face and the Buddha's face, so he won't be too fierce to him.

"Then order an extra chicken in it." Bai Qiuyu looked up at the orderer.

"Yes."

Decisively write it down, this young master Bai and their boss are close buddies, and it's not the first time they have come here.

"Let's have another luncheon meat!"

Lin Xiaohai glanced at Zuo Long and Bai Qiuyu, and took the initiative to order a meat dish.

"That's it for now, don't order if it's not enough."

Bai Qiuyu waved his hand, the orderer tore off a list and put it on the side of the table, pressed it down with a ballast, and then went to the kitchen with the dishes.

After more than ten minutes, the hot pot they asked for came out, and when the waiter lit the hot pot, Zuo Long kept looking inside frequently, wanting to stick his chopsticks into it as soon as the soup boiled.
