sin of lumen

There are too many answers.

Potatoes are also quite popular in DC as a starchy tuber vegetable that is easy to grow and cook.Frying, frying and stewing, cooking soup as a staple food for salads, Lu Ting even ate desserts made of frozen polymer mashed potatoes, a hollow ball standing on a silver base, so thin that it can transmit light, and give off a little cold air.

The high-grade people at the same table with him have to take pictures first, then chat with each other, and then drizzle with exquisite sauces to taste carefully. However, Lu Ting is often more unusual, and it seems that no one expects him to participate in social activities, and they just let him sit at the table Tail, whatever you want.Facing that delicate dish, he could melt a hole with a slight touch of his finger, and eating it was like swallowing a bubble in his mouth, without any taste.

He still likes the potato chips that are sold with popcorn in movie theaters.Every time he goes with his sister, or adds another Shu Rui, he will buy barbecue flavor.

However, looking at the menu now—it’s actually printed on paper with a layer of plastic packaging, which can be repeatedly ticked and erased with a water-based pen. It can be seen that the scratches are old.There are only a few dishes listed, and Lu Ting only found three that are barely related to potatoes:

Creamy Potato Soup (with Artificial Fat), Vegetable Fried Thick Potato Chips with Sweet and Sour Sauce, Stewed Beef Brisket with Red Wine and Vegetables (Five-star recommendation from the chef, non-frozen beef).

Of course the last one can be ruled out immediately.Cattle are not as convenient as poultry to be cultivated in batches and mature quickly. Even so, relying on the availability of fresh beef, it is too exaggerated to cost [-] yuan for a dish, and it can even catch up with the prices in the special zone.After half a month of busy work, he didn't earn much at all, and he still dragged his family. Lu Ting didn't want Deng Mochi to be taken advantage of.

So he unscrewed the cap of the pen, solemnly put a check mark behind the French fries, and wrote a "2" behind the thick soup. In addition, he also chose a barbecued pork bun based on his impression of the classic Hong Kong food. , a plate of roast duck rice, a plate of boiled vegetables.

Deng Mochi took the menu and looked at it, "Are you full?" he asked.

"Okay, I'm not hungry." Lu Ting called the waiter over, but Deng Mochi said, "I'm not full." As he spoke, he wiped off the tick on the roasted duck meal with his thumb, and wrote a "2".

Lu Ting looked at him helplessly, thinking silently, this meal will cost two thousand in the end.But this person’s appetite is indeed quite large. You think he’s full and you don’t see him shouting hungry. In fact, he doesn’t hesitate to stuff anything into it. Recently, when he was working, he brought his own breakfast and lunch, and Lu Ting would give it to him. He prepared the amount for two people, and was wiped out without waste every time.

Deng Mochi handed the menu to the waiter in a red Tang suit. He seemed to be in a good mood and said "thank you".Then he took a sip of tea, stuffed his pockets, and turned to look out the window in a daze.

The field of vision is very good, the night scene like a palette, electrified, mixed with more black, cut into squares of uniform size by the window edge.Lu Ting also looked at them, "Boss, have you been to this store before?"

"Just passing by."

"I haven't been here before, and I don't know how it tastes." Lu Ting raised half of his face, and turned his eyes back to Deng Mochi's. Too high will burn him out, "Actually, the first time we met at the bus stop, it was also the first time I got off. I escaped from a blind date dinner."

Seeing that Deng Mochi didn't say anything about it, Lu Ting added, somewhat alarmist: "The shortest of the nine Alphas is 1.9 meters, and they are all as strong as robots. If I didn't run fast, you would be dead today. Can't see me anymore!"

Only then did Deng Mochi turn around, and met Lu Ting's staring eyes: "Run slower, faster, and you won't see each other. We won't know each other."

It's just a matter of seeking truth from facts, he said it plainly, but Lu Ting felt a sense of fatalism in his heart, thinking again, such as fate, such as love at first sight.He looked away and took two sips of tea: "Anyway, I think I was very lucky that day. I was only brought by my sister on a motorcycle when I was a child, and she still didn't let me go to the ground," he said softly and slowly , with a bit of ignorance and shyness, "I didn't know until I followed you, so there are so many places I haven't seen."

"Does it look good?"

"It's beautiful!" Lu Ting pressed his temples and stretched the corners of his eyes. From his angle, he could see a lottery hall. He squinted and saw clearly. At the door, there was a half-exaggerated girl dressed as the Red Queen, standing against a white wall. The skin is so novel to solicit business, how can it be said that it is not good-looking.

"I don't think it looks good," Deng Mochi said, "Dirty, messy, sick, dead, and stealing and cheating are all these things."

He seldom expresses subjective views in this way, and still maintains his tone of watching with cold eyes, which makes people feel contrary.But what he said was true, and it was true.

Lu Ting was speechless for a while.On the other hand, not to mention that as a policeman, he has made no contribution to law and order, but he himself, is it because he has never experienced these hardships, so everything he sees is new?The so-called standing and talking without back pain is like some stories in old movies. When a gentleman came to the countryside and saw the hard-working farmers, he sighed: "Your life is so simple and healthy."

Then I will take you back to live above.This was almost said, but Lu Ting pursed his lips and swallowed it.He would have such thoughts every day, and in getting along with him day and night, and holding this idea for a day longer, he further realized that Deng Mochi was not someone who could be brought back with just a word.

It just so happens that this restaurant is quite considerate. It took a long time to wait for food, so there are monitors on each wall, and the documentary "Home on Mars" is playing.It may be more appropriate to say that it is a promotional film. It takes a family of seven who immigrated to Mars as the subject of shooting, eliciting their schooling and employment, daily diet, and short stories of their parents. People who stay on Earth get a more realistic understanding of the avant-garde life of Martian residents.

This has almost become a national show in recent years, and Lu Ting grew up watching it.It has been aired for nearly ten years, and now one of the elderly members of the family of seven has died and was buried in an elegant and solemn alien cemetery. The little girl has grown up and is dating a neighbor boy.It would be boring to live the daily trivial life, not to mention watching others, but there is no other choice. During the prime time, every frequency is forced to play, and it is difficult not to watch it.

At this time, a sand-red whirlwind rose suddenly on the morning and evening line, climbing to a high place, with such force that it seemed to be able to set off mountains, but the sky was still so vast and lonely, there was no murderous radiation dust, only a clear, almost brand-new atmosphere .Wearing comfortable home clothes, the star family enjoyed breakfast together in the first-generation solid and warm bunker in Mars City.

There are also potatoes on the table.Meat and potatoes are stewed together in small shiny iron pots.

What a hearty meal in the morning.

"Then do you want to move? Bring your younger siblings with you," Lu Ting pointed to the poster on the wall. "The 19th batch of registration will be closed in a few months. The younger the age, the lower the fee."

Deng Mochi took a sip of the potato soup that was just brought to the table: "There is no such obligation. I just keep them till."

Lu Ting clasped his hands under the table and looked at him: "What about you? High-tech talents, unmarried and childless, or the rarest Alpha, must be given priority."

The customary promotional slogan at the end of each episode rang, and now the English version was played, which was suitable for all types of interpretation machines.The background picture is the natural scenery and artificial farmland on Mars. The calm male voice is relaxed and relaxed. Except for some minor changes, Lu Ting can almost recite the whole paragraph silently:

"According to the precise statistics of the Immigration Bureau, there have been 124 batches of the Mars immigration plan since its inception, and 5322 people have successfully landed, accounting for about 0.8% of the world's total population. They bravely started a new life in the new home of the Milky Way. You Are you willing to be the 124th, 5323rd pioneer, set foot on a new planet, and form the brand new 0%? Are you willing to seek a better life for yourself and all human beings? The No.9 batch of registration is closing soon , pioneers, adventurers, just show your courage, we will provide you with the most convenient service, the most reliable journey, please apply for the form at..."

Yun Yun.

Lu Ting lowered his head and pinched the bridge of his nose. Of course, his father Lu Bingyi approved this passage. The person in charge of this grand plan is also his elder brother Lu An, and the hospital where his sister Lu Zhi works is also the main person in charge of the immigration medical examination. mechanism.But all this always seemed to make him uncomfortable.

French fries and green vegetables and barbecued pork buns were also served, all steaming hot.Unlike the robot, the human waiter will accidentally drop a little bit of French fries, wipe the sweat on the back of his hand and say sorry, saying that he will give two buttered ice creams as an apology after the meal.

"Thank you, there are two roasted duck rice." Lu Ting smiled at her.

"I don't know how to emigrate," Deng Mochi said suddenly, as if he had listened carefully to the slogan and seriously considered Lu Ting's question, "It's not my desire to live to a hundred years old on an alien planet before dying."

Lu Ting scooped up a spoonful of soup, and after swallowing it, he still bit the spoon in his mouth, "What is your request?" He asked vaguely.

"The truth." Deng Mochi took the roast duck rice from the waiter.

"What truth?" Lu Ting also took away the plate in front of him, so that the waiter could put his share.

"You'll know when you find it."

"I saw someone say that the essence of religion is also the truth." Lu Ting thought of the fallen angel at the crossroads again.

"Religion is just an accessory to cover up the truth."

Lu Ting has accumulated a lot of experience in response to Deng Mochi's philosophical taste from time to time.He knew that he usually couldn't figure it out, but he still couldn't help thinking about it. When he pulled out his thoughts in a daze, most of the small plate of rice was settled by Deng Mochi.It's hard to tell how someone manages to keep eating in such a hurry, but the man across the table clearly did.

Maybe a good-looking face means that you can do whatever you want.

"I don't want to immigrate either." Lu Ting gave him his duck leg. "My whole family can't move. I want to stay on the earth for the rest of my life."

Because the departure of the federal president is always suspected of abandoning the ball, which will cause panic among the people.The presidential family is also watched by countless pairs of eyes.Although Lu Ting is young and an illegitimate child, he has never been exposed to the public so far, but he is the only one in the whole family, so what's the point of moving there?

Deng Mochi didn't reject the duck leg, nor did he ask him why.For a moment, his eyes brushed against Lu Ting's face, the green one was extremely bright, and the gray one was still full of fog.

Lu Ting looked at the fog outside the window again.

"I'm full, wait for me," he put down his chopsticks, "There's a flower shop over there, I'll check it out, it's short of seeds recently."

Deng Mochi said yes.

Lu Ting put on his bag and hurried out of the store.He did see a florist, but he had too many seeds to plant, and he didn't come out to pick out low-quality seeds that were at risk of spoilage.His goal was the lottery hall next door, and he trotted over. The Red Queen at the door greeted him, and he slipped into the arched door hung with a thin sequined curtain with his pocket in his pocket, and stayed inside for a few minutes.

It is illegal to make a fake lottery ticket to swindle prize money. It is not unreasonable to make a prop, discuss it with the boss, and give it to someone.Lu Ting had just changed the soil for the vegetable garden a few days ago, and it cost a lot of money. Recently, his father cut off his pocket money, and the balance in his account was not much, only about 90.Threats and lures, when discussing the bonus amount with the boss, he almost said 83, but found it too easy to reveal the truth, and finally set the maximum amount of that lottery, 55.

The boss received his 1 yuan commission, and all he had to do was hand over a lottery ticket that would surely win the first prize after a while. As for the prize redemption, the money would be transferred directly from the one-time account that Lu Ting had just established.

But what Lu Ting got so far is only a leaflet for the lottery hall, a thin piece of recycled straw paper with two coupons printed on it.He went back to the Xiangxiang tea restaurant, walked back to Deng Mochi's side, and slapped the list on the table: "Boss, I think we are doing well today. We didn't encounter any danger during the day. Come here." The rain stopped here, and it’s fate that neither of us immigrated.” After talking for a long time, his breathing calmed down, and he finally said the main point, “I was handed this when I left the flower shop just now, maybe we should really Go buy a lottery ticket!"

Dun Mochi looked at the list coldly: "Then you call me the bonus?"

Lu Ting's scalp tightened: "Huh?"

"I've seen it all," Dun Mo raised his face and looked into his pupils calmly, "It's not necessary, I'm not that short of money."

"I..." Suddenly, Lu Ting wanted to jump out of the glass window and run away, staring at his toes, "...I didn't mean that, I just, I'm so happy, you said you won't leave."

Dun Mochi nodded and smiled: "Your ice cream is almost done."

"Oh." Lu Ting sat back on his seat in despair, like an eggplant beaten by frost.He had seen that phenomenon in agricultural teaching films, but the eggplants he planted would never turn into that miserable state.

"I just want to give you something." Lu Ting said again.

"There are also barbecued pork buns." Deng Mochi ignored this sentence, but reminded.

There was a small puddle of half-melted ice cream, and there were two char siew buns left, which meant that Deng Mochi, like himself, only ate one, and Lu Ting didn't want to use his chopsticks for the cold French fries and vegetables. Everything has been eaten.

So is it because you don’t like to eat buns, or because you notice that you like them?Lu Ting's heart beat so fast that he didn't dare to think about it.He swallowed the small bowl of buttered ice cream whole, took a bite of the soft dough, pressed his wristband under the tablecloth, and withdrew the authority of the temporary account, as well as his own 55.

"Am I stupid?" Lu Ting still couldn't help asking as he bit the char siew pork sweetly in his mouth.

"Yes." Deng Mochi obviously agreed very much.

"Oh." Lu Ting frowned, he was at a loss for words again.Under Deng Mochi's gaze of "no waste", he silently swallowed two steamed buns, and watched his overly smart pursuit find a waiter and pay with an old antique mobile phone, which can be described as complicated.

Walking out of the store, walking on the slippery ground in the direction I came from, rubbing shoulders with many people, it seems that the day is about to end.

"There is a miraculous thing," Deng Mochi took the initiative to start the conversation, "I found that I have eaten every kind of ingredients in this meal before today."

White rice, noodles, pork, duck, butter, kale, and potatoes.Lu Ting listed one after another in his heart, and suddenly realized: "I have indeed brought all of these!"

Deng Mochi nodded: "For the first time, I feel that I have a relatively complete understanding of food."

Lu Ting rolled his eyes and smiled: "Then what I cook is not much worse than a restaurant, right?"

Deng Mochi still nodded: "It's a very good gift."

Hearing this, Lu Ting was silent for a while, and then sniffed again. Indeed, he almost shed tears, and he didn't know how he became so sentimental.But even if he cried, he was ecstatic. He thought that he might have moved this person, causing him to change again and again, and the turmoil that this person reacted to was even worse.

Those feelings that go on and on are not thrown out to fill the sea, but fall into the valley, like all kinds of long waves and short waves, and they will bounce back.

Lu Ting squeezed the zipper of the satchel tightly.In fact, he can remember the way without the bracelet. He knows that the space where the spaceship is parked is approaching, and there is a box in the bag, and there is a rose in the box, and he wants to send it out before then.

However, when he walked to the entrance of the dark alley, what he saw surprised Lu Ting—the original space of the spaceship was empty. Deng Mochi had already turned on the strong flashlight, and Lu Ting could see it even if he was night blind. .

"It's not wrong." He ran closer in a daze.

When he ran to him, he saw a line of small characters projected on the wall:

Pilot Ⅰ-9223, you have occupied the fire exit without permission, which is a serious traffic violation. 6 points will be deducted, a fine of [-] federal general funds will be deducted, and the aircraft will be temporarily detained. Please hold a valid certificate within seven working days. from mentioning.

Lu Ting pulled up the disposable projector from the ground and looked at it in the palm of his hand, a little dumbfounded.When he stayed in the police station, he couldn't even touch such things, but now he has become a problematic disturber of law and order.

Dun Mochi stood beside him and looked at it together.

"It's too embarrassing, you are not allowed to watch it." Lu Ting stuffed the projector back into his pocket.

Deng Mochi really turned his face and looked aside.

"Boss, I don't want to go back by light rail. Aldebaran is floating in the sky. Without a spaceship, I can only find a place to stop it and then climb up." Lu Ting walked around in front of Deng Mochi, insisting on being watched He was talking to himself, and he said it logically, because after thinking about it, he suddenly realized that God was helping me, "What if I am so stupid and stop at an illegal place again, and even my old nest will be detained."

"Rent a hoverbike."

"No, I'm too tired today, I can't ride anymore," Lu Ting leaned against the wall, looking at Deng Mochi with bright eyes, "Can you stay at your place for a night, and we will go back together by bus."
