The handicraft world of the future

"Wait until it's fully cooked, don't eat half-baked."

Like Bai Qiuyu, Lin Xiaohai picked up the order book and patted Zuo Long on the head. This guy actually wanted to grab the chicken inside while he was bored.

"Will you die if you wait a little longer?"

"Yes! I'm starving to death."

"..."

He doesn't understand the world of foodies, but as long as he is in front of Lin Xiaohai, he can't eat half-baked food.Bai Qiuyu understood this, so he simply stopped looking at the hot pot on the table and concentrated on studying the menu, what should I add later?

After another ten minutes, the soup was already boiled, and Lin Xiaohai felt that the chicken was almost ready, so he let go of the prohibition.This time, Bai Qiuyu and Zuo Long's chopsticks never stopped, and the chicken in the red soup became less and less at a speed visible to the naked eye. Seeing this, Lin Xiaohai took out the chicken in the clear soup with a colander and put it in their bowls .At the same time, they let the two drink freshly squeezed fruit juice, pear juice and apple juice, and he asked for a can of herbal tea.

While eating the chicken in the clear soup, I occasionally drank a sip of herbal tea to relieve the heat.Although Bai Qiuyu and Zuo Long fought fiercely on the red soup side, they had a tacit understanding on the clear soup side and didn't stretch out their chopsticks, but they also ate the chicken that Lin Xiaohai spooned for them.

The meat dishes were also slowly put in. For the clear soup, Bai Qiuyu poured half of the meatballs and crispy sausage into it for Lin Xiaohai to eat slowly by himself. He and Zuo Long continued to grab other meat dishes.

They still remembered that Lin Xiaohai said that half-baked food should not be eaten, so when they stopped to wait for the food inside to be fully cooked, they drank fruit juice to cool down.

The faces of the three who ate a hot pot were ruddy, and a thin layer of sweat was dripping from their foreheads.After eating the hot pot, the waiter brought up the fruit.Several people ate some fruit to cool down the temperature, and only picked up their coats and went out when they were not hot.

Bai Qiuyu paid the bill at the counter, and at the same time left a few words for his buddies, and then walked out of the hot pot restaurant with the two boys.

"Zifeng Hot Pot City?"

this name...

"This is the name of the boss's mother." Only his buddy can do it with his mother's name as the name of the hot pot restaurant.

"It's very special and easy to remember."

I can't remember well, this is the only hot pot restaurant called Feng around here.

"Where else do you want to go?"

The night market is also good. He went there a few times when he was studying, but he was not very interested in the food in the night market, and lost his appetite after just looking at it, so although he went there several times, he never ate the food inside .

"No, go home. Send Zuo Long back to his house first, and then we will go back."

Lin Xiaohai rolled his eyes and went to the night market. Could it be that he was not full from the hot pot restaurant just now?

"it is good."

Bai Qiuyu nodded in agreement, anyway, he doesn't eat the food in the night market, so it doesn't matter whether he goes or not.At that time, Zuo Long was a little disappointed, but he touched his stomach, and the disappointment disappeared immediately.Even if he goes to the night market now, he still can't eat it, and it's even more uncomfortable if he can only watch and not eat.

So the three of them went home by car. The driver also went to another hot pot restaurant to have a full meal just now, and now he was sitting in the car waiting for his master and his two little guests.

"How much did this meal cost?"

After sending Zuo Long home, Lin Xiaohai asked.Although the dishes they ordered were all common foods, they were all made artificially, and the prices were naturally different.

"Fifteen hundred credits."

It's really not cheap.If Zuo Long heard it, he might think too much.

"You don't think it's expensive?"

Bai Qiuyu knew that Lin Xiaohai was often regarded as stingy, and would not buy anything he thought was unnecessary, showing no signs of immaturity that young people should have.Like other teenagers, even if things are useless, but they think they can increase their face or attract attention, they will spend money to buy them, which is not seen in Lin Xiaohai at all.

"I don't like it, I just think that this thing is eaten into our stomachs, it's worth it compared to those good-looking and useless things. It's normal to buy two occasionally, but I often buy it for the sake of face, and use it again when I buy it. Only those brats would do things that aren’t so stupid.”

Lin Xiaohai made no secret of his contempt. He is in his twenties, well past the age of middle school two.In other words, when he was a teenager, he didn't pass the second grade. At most, he was a little cynical. He never bought products from certain countries, even if they were good.

"You are not very old!"

"Aren't I mentally old?"

Lin Xiaohai raised his chin and asked.

"Row."

Bai Qiuyu held back her laughter, and just said that she was mentally old!It's no different from ordinary teenagers. They are all very concerned about their age, and they don't want people to say that they are young.

Back home, Lin Xiaohai and Bai Qiuyu said goodbye to each other.

"By the way, Xiao Hai, tomorrow I'm going to the airport to pick up my grandparents, so I'll trouble you for lunch."

Bai Qiuyu's hand to open the door paused, and called Lin Xiaohai to stop.

"Will Grandpa Bai and Grandma Bai come over tomorrow?"

Lin Xiaohai leaned against the door, didn't he say he would come over in two days?early?

"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Bai Qiuyu knew that his grandfather and grandma came early and troubled Lin Xiaohai. Although he refused to collect his living expenses, Bai Qiuyu decided to treat Lin Xiaohai better in the future and treat him as his younger brother. His younger brother is almost in dire straits now, but this does not prevent him from finding another cute kid to be his younger brother.

"What's the trouble, it's too outlandish." Lin Xiaohai waved his hand to express his indifference, and then opened the door and went in.

"See you outside?"

Bai Qiuyu asked herself, and then laughed.Now that he has decided in his heart to regard Xiao Hai as a younger brother, and at the same time satisfy his mentality of being an older brother, it is indeed too alien to always say thank you for trouble.

Bai Qiuyu left the house at eight o'clock the next day. He had to go to the company to make arrangements. He was going to the airport at nine o'clock. Grandpa and his plane arrived at ten o'clock.Now the capital is only an hour away from the provincial capital of province S, and grandpa and the others don't have much luggage to check in, so they can come out soon.

At [-]:[-], Mr. Bai came out from the pick-up area with his wife. The two old men showed up at the airport in a low-key manner, but no one recognized them.The main reason is that the old man Bai has rarely appeared in public in the past ten years, and no one would have thought that this old man with a high position in Huaguo would take his wife to sit in the economy class like an ordinary tourist and take the ordinary aisle .

"Xiao Yu." Seeing the eldest grandson guarding the outside early, the two old people greeted him happily like ordinary elders.

"Grandpa and grandma, welcome."

Bai Qiuyu stepped forward to hug the two elderly people, and then took the luggage from their hands.

"I asked the driver to stop the car outside. You can take a rest in the car. Xiaohai has prepared warm soup for you to drink when you go back."

"Xiao Hai is that cute little neighbor you mentioned?"

Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Bai were very curious about the little neighbor who the elder grandson said was delicious and caring. It was rare to hear his grandson praise someone without a sneer.

"Yeah, I can see him satisfying your curiosity with my own eyes later."

"It's almost too late."

Grandma Bai said to her eldest grandson, holding her husband's arm.

"Let's go!"

An hour later, they returned to Bai Qiuyu's current residence.After putting down the luggage and letting grandpa and grandma change into comfortable clothes, Bai Qiuyu led them to the opposite door.

"Little sea."

"Brother Bai."

Lin Xiaohai came out of the kitchen.

"These two are Grandpa Bai and Grandma Bai! Nice to meet you, I'm Lin Xiaohai."

Lin Xiaohai bowed to the two elders, the elders were not happy to shake hands, so he chose the etiquette of the ancient Hua Kingdom to show them the salute.

"What a handsome baby, come here and let Grandma Bai have a good look."

The two elders of the Bai family were sitting on the sofa, Grandma Bai was pulling Lin Xiaohai to sit on the right side of old man Bai, and Bai Qiuyu was sitting on the single sofa opposite them.

"Xiaobai, bring out the soup. Grandpa Bai and grandma Bai, you have had a hard journey. Although there is food on the plane, you can drink a bowl of hot soup to warm your heart this winter."

Lin Xiaohai got up early in the morning and stewed pheasant soup, which contained a lot of mountain herbs that were good for the elderly. Of course, he also asked a Chinese medicine doctor online, and picked the most suitable herbs and mountain treasures for the elderly. It can also help them relieve fatigue.

"Mr. Bai, Mrs. Bai, please use the soup."

Xiaobai came out with the soup, which was thoughtfully put in a cup to prevent the heat from soaking away early.

"Thank you. Xiao Hai, is this your robot servant?"

Grandma Bai looked at Xiao Bai, who was more considerate than her robot servant, and actually knew how to use a cup to hold soup.

"Yes."

Lin Xiaohai smiled at Xiaobai, and let him go into the kitchen to continue chopping vegetables, and he would fry them later.

"I didn't expect Xiaohai to have good cooking skills. Today, the old man and I had a conversation." Grandma Bai liked Lin Xiaohai very much, and felt that his personality was docile and soft. Compared with the group of grandsons and granddaughters with different personalities at home, She didn't like their calculating family relationship.Maybe there is true love among them, but once the calculation is brought on, the grandmother will be heartbroken, so she and the old man love the eldest grandson even more.

Bai Qiuyu's personality is actually not good, but he has one good thing, that is, he has a clear distinction between grievances and grievances.If others treat him well, he treats them very well, and if others treat him with hatred, he will give back [-] points. It is this kind of character that has become the fate of the two old people.In addition, they themselves favored the eldest grandson, which made them even more partial. Even the youngest son often said that the two elders favored the eldest grandson.

"That's not a good cooking skill. It's just something you like to eat, and you can barely import it." People in Huaguo are like this. Even if others praise you, you can't accept it directly. Don't say it blatantly, people will think you are too proud, and they will naturally look down on you.

But Lin Xiaohai’s words are not modest. He really doesn’t think his cooking skills are so good. Whether it’s knife skills or stir-fried vegetables and stews, he only knows some ordinary home-cooked dishes. meeting.

"If you like it, you can make the best food! A person who doesn't like to cook, no matter how he cooks, the food will not taste good, because people eat food not only to taste delicious, but also to have feelings in it. "

Grandma Bai doesn't cook often, and she doesn't even know how to cook two dishes, so she especially likes children like Lin Xiaohai who can cook.It's a pity that the girls in the Bai family don't like to cook. Even if they come into the kitchen on a whim to cook for the elders one day, they still have calculations in it, and they want the old couple to see their filial piety and be able to distribute the family property. Take advantage of a few points to get more benefits.

"Grandma Bai, what's the matter with you? Do you want to drink some soup and rest?"

Old Madam Bai's face became a little ugly after talking, and she quickly opened the lid of the cup and sent the soup to the hands of the two old people.Sure enough, the two old men were more satisfied with him, they were really considerate, no wonder his robot servant was more considerate than other robot servants.

After the two old men finished their soup, Lin Xiaohai asked Bai Qiuyu to talk with them, and he himself went into the kitchen to show off his skills. The dishes for entertaining guests should be carefully prepared.

There are two more elderly people at home, and Lin Xiaohai prepares dishes with less oil and less oil. He only specially made two meat dishes for Bai Qiuyu. Good health, after all, they are already over a hundred years old, even if their lives have been extended by several decades in the future, people should start to take care of their bodies when they reach a certain age.

"It's so rich, the old man took it orally today."

Old man Bai saw that most of the food on the table was edible for centenarians like them. The eldest grandson, the younger brother, did not recognize him in vain, but he was much more careful than those at home.Don't they know that it is better for the elderly not to eat oily and salty food?No, they know, it's just that they don't have the heart to do it.Every time I talk about cooking, I just talk about it at the door of the kitchen, make a bunch of food that is not suitable for them, and say that I am filial.

Hmph, fart filial piety.Look at the food prepared by Xiaohai, this is filial piety!

Lin Xiaohai and Bai Qiuyu each opened a chair and let the two elderly people sit down. After they sat down, Xiaobai served two bowls of soup.

"Sit down too!"

Lin Xiaohai and Bai Qiuyu looked at each other and smiled, and sat opposite the two old people together, and Xiaobai also brought two bowls of soup.

"Grandpa Bai, Grandma Bai, don't be polite!"

Lin Xiaohai smiled at him, and waited for the two old men to raise their chopsticks at the same time before he and Bai Qiuyu picked up the soup and started drinking slowly.After drinking the bowl of soup, Xiaobai put the rice plate in front of the four of them, and then began to eat the main meal.

Stir-fried vegetables with three delicacies, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, braised wild pork, stir-fried peas with mushrooms, fried shredded pork with yacon, stir-fried kidneys with green peppers, double-cooked pork, and blanched vegetables. The eight dishes were all enjoyable for four people.The two old people frequently stretched their chopsticks towards the bland food, Bai Qiuyu basically wrapped up the braised wild pork and twice-cooked pork, Lin Xiaohai ate both bland food and two meat dishes, but there was nothing left in the eight dishes.

Lin Xiaohai looked at the two old men who wiped their mouths, and he knew who had inherited Brother Bai's good appetite.

"No wonder Xiaoyu didn't want to go back to the capital. I changed to eating dishes with a taste of home every day. I don't want to go back. What should I do old man?" Grandma Bai was so sad. There are nutritionists watching at home every day, and they are too embarrassed to reach out for anything they want to eat.

"Then stay."

Grandpa Bai is so straightforward, anyway, now that the Bai family has been handed over to the eldest grandson, they can just enjoy the blessings.

"Grandpa Bai, Grandma Bai, if you like it, Xiaohai will make it for you in the future."

Another person who appreciates his cooking skills, Lin Xiaohai's face is not to mention how happy he is.Regardless of whether it is sincere praise or false praise, he treats everyone as really liking it. Anyway, seeing that there are almost no plates left on the table, he feels that the two old people's praise should not be false. What is better than the dishes he cooks? Welcome to something better?

"Then trouble you."

Grandma Bai looked at Lin Xiaohai kindly, it was the right time to go back to S province for the Chinese New Year this year, she no longer had to face the overwhelming dishes on the table, let alone those fake and flattering smiles.

"No trouble."

So the two elders of the Bai family lived in Bai Qiuyu's house opposite, and came to Lin Xiaohai's house with Bai Qiuyu every morning to report and have breakfast by the way.The delicious breakfast with the taste of home made the two old people say it was delicious, and sometimes they asked Lin Xiaohai to cook a little more. They wanted to bring it to the new old people who were exercising in the community together to taste it, and let them know what it is. It's called gourmet food, not the beautifully made food is gourmet food.

Lin Xiaohai responded to the requests of the two old people, even if he had to get up early in the morning to prepare, he would still be happy.The days passed by in the busyness of Lin Xiaohai, and it was only a few days before New Year's Eve. These days, Lin Xiaohai took Xiaobai and Jiuge out every day, and brought back a bunch of New Year's goods.Originally, the two old people wanted to join in the fun, but now there are so many people outside, Lin Xiaohai was afraid of hurting them, so he refused to say anything, and only said that after two days after Big Brother Bai's company was on holiday, the two of them would take Grandpa Bai and Mrs. Bai together. Grandma Bai goes shopping.

The two old people had no choice but to watch at home every day, helping Lin Xiaohai sort out the things he moved back, and tidy them up when he came back.After another two days of busy work, Bai Qiuyu finally had a holiday. Lin Xiaohai should fulfill his promise, and together with Bai Qiuyu took the two old people to the streets to do New Year's shopping.

You can also buy some firecrackers. The house in the future is not afraid of fire at all, and if there is no fire protection equipment in the residential area, it is impossible to live in it. It is not a light crime to be caught.

I also bought a dozen or so New Year pictures, half of the family.The Spring Festival couplets were written by Grandpa Bai himself, and Bai Qiuyu also wrote two copies.Lin Xiaohai can only watch, his handwriting is much worse than these two, it can only be regarded as neat.

"Xiao Hai, are you making bacon again?"

Grandpa Bai looked at the bacon hanging in the store, he really wanted to eat it.

"Yes, I'll show it to grandpa when I get back."

After getting along for a few days, Grandpa Bai and the others asked Lin Xiaohai to call them grandpa and grandma directly.

"Okay, okay, I want bacon to go with wine today."

Grandpa Bai wanted to touch his beard like the expert on TV, but he only touched his own smooth chin. Then he remembered that his wife didn't like beards, so he never grew one.

"Drink less."

Grandma Bai doesn't like alcohol either, but she will allow Grandpa Bai to drink a little, as a way of keeping in good health.

"There are sausages too. Let grandpa and grandma eat more today."

It's rare for an old man to like to eat. Both Lin Xiaohai and Bai Qiuyu are not stingy. Of course, what you want to control is to eat less, but today is an exception.
