What It’s Like Being a Vampire
Chapter 413 Desire for Control
Shi Ling, who is that very beautiful and tall aunt who came to pick you up with your mother yesterday?
There was a large activity class in the kindergarten today, and several classes were together. Xiaomei naturally came to Liu Shiling's side and asked in a low voice.
She is my very powerful sister. Liu Shiling replied in her usual reserved tone, but her expression showed a little bit of pride and pride.
Xiaomei asked curiously: Why is it so powerful?
Liu Shiling naturally wouldn't say that because Sister Grilled Chicken Wings can do magic and is a super powerful magician, an excellent magician must have a sense of confidentiality!
She thought about what she had talked with Xia Libing yesterday, glanced at the sky through the window, and said, Do you know why it rains?
Xiaomei also looked at the white clouds and blue sky outside the window, and whispered: Because there are clouds? She remembered watching cartoons before, which introduced that rain comes from clouds.
Where did the clouds come from? Liu Shiling asked again.
Yun? Was it pinched by the fairy sister in the heavenly palace? Xiaomei gave an answer that she thought was very romantic.
Liu Shiling shook her head gently: That's feudal superstition and unscientific. Have you ever seen boiling water? When the water boils, those qi are clouds.
Xiaomei was stunned for a moment, then blinked and suddenly realized: Yes... that's clouds. Clouds are made of water, so clouds will also turn into water and fall...
Liu Shiling hummed, and then said: Do you know why there is thunder, why there is lightning, why our lights turn on, where the electricity comes from, why we eat, and where does the food come from?
Xiaomei looked dumbfounded after hearing this. After a long time, she whispered: Do you know all this? Shiling, you are so amazing!
The sister who came to pick me up yesterday knows everything! She knows everything, so she is a very powerful sister! This time Liu Shiling's voice could no longer hide her pride, but she was also a little lucky in her heart. Although she roasted chicken wings yesterday Sister gave her so many answers, she had forgotten 98% of them or didn't understand them at all, but she finally wrote down a few that were not so complicated.
Xiaomei subconsciously nodded in agreement with Liu Shiling's words. She felt that both Liu Shiling and the beautiful aunt...sister were both powerful, and she admired them very much.
What about the bald uncle who came with that sister...and the bald brother? Xiaomei asked again.
“‘Bald Uncle’ is a super, super awesome person.
Liu Shiling gave another definition.
Xiaomei nodded, feeling the progressive feeling of the adjective used by Liu Shiling, but she didn't know how powerful it was.
Moreover, the uncle is definitely a higher level than the sister.
As soon as the morning class ended, Shiling's mother came to pick up Liu Shiling with Xiang Kun and others, and asked for leave from the kindergarten teacher.
Because Shiling’s mother knew that Tang Baona, who arrived today, was the “beautiful sister” who taught her daughter how to draw through video connections during this period.
After all, kindergarten does not have the same academic schedule as primary school. It is rare for Tang Baona and the others to come to Star City. Shiling's mother also wants Liu Shiling to have time to play with them for a while.
She had a vivid memory of her daughter chatting with Xia Libing last night. She also realized that her daughter might be more mature than other children of the same age now, so she preferred to be with these outstanding older sisters.
Following her mother to the entrance of the kindergarten, Liu Shiling saw Tang Baona and Yang Zhener waiting outside beside Xiang Kun. Liu Shiling slowed down and looked at them carefully for a while. After seeing their appearance clearly and confirming their identities, Liu Shiling He ran over happily and shouted:
Beautiful sister! Old fairy sister!
Liu Shiling originally ran towards Tang Baona, but Yang Zhener squatted down and intercepted her midway. He held her little face and rubbed it gently, complaining: Little bell, it's not an old fairy, it's all old fairies. Villain, I am...forget it, since you look so cute, I'll just be an old immortal.
Although Yang Zhener has always been thick-skinned, Shiling's mother was standing nearby, and she was still embarrassed to let the chubby girl call her fairy sister.
A group of six people called two cars and headed to a well-known hotel in Star City.
Xiang Kun checked it last night and found out that the restaurant had a dish of hot pot rabbit meat, which was quite famous on the Internet and received high praise.
So when Tang Baona and Yang Zhener came over, Xiang Kun proposed to eat together so that they could compare the same dishes at their Youlong Restaurant.
Of course, Xiang Kun himself was absolutely confident in the rabbit meat dishes he made, but to bring everyone together in Star City, he had to find some high-sounding excuse, right?
It was because of this evaluation and comparison mentality that everyone had that on the way back from lunch, except for Shiling's mother, everyone else was extremely disgusted with the dry-pot rabbit meat and found faults in all kinds of ways.
Even Lao Xia, who was never picky about eating outside, used a rational attitude and an indifferent tone to review the dry pot rabbit meat from the ingredients to the seasoning details.
Just listening to their descriptions, I might feel like I just ate at a shady restaurant.
But in fact, Xiang Kun, who had swallowed Super Connected Things stones before the meal to prepare himself, also tasted the dish and felt that the taste was actually pretty good, at least it was worthy of the price, and the reputation on the Internet was not all false rumors and hype. .
Not only the griddle rabbit dish, but also several other dishes tasted pretty good. After deducing the seasoning and cooking methods through taste, Xiang Kun really had a few more recipes in his mind. The chef at that restaurant was really good. of.
But he also knew why Tang Baona and Lao Xia commented like that. After all, they were all used to eating the various dishes he cooked and specially adjusted for the taste.
If you eat the same dish cooked by someone else first, and then Xiang Kun adjusts the taste accordingly, and taste the dish he cooked, you will only feel that Xiang Kun’s cooking is more and more delicious, and you will not be satisfied with the taste of the dishes cooked by others before. The memory will gradually fade away, and there will not be a deep impression; but if you are used to eating dishes with Xiang Kun's targeted taste adjustments, and then eat the same dish made by others, the difference will be very obvious.
This may be the so-called it was once difficult to change the sea.
Although Shiling's mother had also eaten the grated rabbit meat made by Xiang Kun, Xiang Kun had just started learning cooking at that time. Although she improved quickly and made targeted adjustments according to the tastes of their Hunan and Chu people, after all, there was no Eat at the same table as others, update meal feedback in real time, and constantly improve the taste, so she has not tasted Xiang Kun's customized real chef level cooking like Tang Baona and Xia Libing. , naturally she didn’t quite understand what they said, but she was embarrassed to raise objections, and she even doubted whether it was her own problem.
As for the little chubby girl Liu Shiling, after she moved to Star City with her mother, she had never eaten the dishes prepared by Xiang Kun for her taste. However, when she first merged with Lao Xia in her dream, she had eaten all the dishes that Lao Xia had in her dream. Now, Xiang Kun made grated rabbit meat.
Although the griddle rabbit meat that appeared in Lao Xia's dream was adjusted by Xiang Kun for her taste, when the little fat girl tasted it in her dream, she would also be affected by the emotions in Lao Xia's dream. The emotions and the food that appeared were integrated in together.
That kind of dream tasting experience also directly affected Liu Shiling's real taste benchmark for the real-life griddle rabbit meat dish.
In addition, the three elder sisters she admired and liked said so after eating, so she naturally followed Me too.
So while chatting, Yang Zhener suggested that Xiang Kun cook a real griddle rabbit meat in the evening.
As soon as this was said, except Shi Ling's mother who felt a little embarrassed to let the guests cook, everyone else agreed, and Xiang Kun naturally agreed with a smile.
Then Yang Zhener, as the proposer, decided to go shopping by herself, while the others went to play as planned, taking the little fat girl to the amusement park.
Shi Ling's mother suggested that she go buy it. Based on past experience, Tang Baona was a little worried about Zhen'er buying the food by herself. She was afraid that when Xiang Kun was cooking in the evening, she would find out that she didn't buy this or that, and it would be too late, so she thought Follow.
Unexpectedly, Liu Shiling also said that she did not want to go to the amusement park and wanted to go shopping with him.
So...a group of six people, this afternoon's activity was buying groceries together.
If Xiang Kun is buying food by himself, he must have thought about all the things he wants to buy in advance, and when entering the mall, he will use his super sensory capabilities to collect environmental information, analyze the location of each area, and the current distribution of people, and immediately Plan out the most efficient purchasing path, then quickly buy all the items you want to buy, check out, and leave.
If we only buy vegetables with Lao Xia and implement the strategy of dividing our troops into two groups and harvesting quickly, the efficiency will be much improved.
But now a group of six people go to the supermarket to buy groceries, and there is also a child like Liu Shiling, so the focus is naturally not on the results, but on the process.
Even though shopping for groceries seems to be a very simple and boring task, it is not interesting. With the presence of Yang Zhener, who has an out-of-the-box personality and can be funny in everything, Liu Shiling, the curious baby, and Xiang Kun, the all-round master, Everything can be fun.
Fresh food area.
Liu Shiling pointed to a live fish and asked Xia Libing next to her: Sister, what kind of fish is that?
Xia Libing glanced at it and said, Herring.
Did the fisherman uncle catch it from the sea? Liu Shiling asked again.
No, they are freshwater fish that live in lakes and rivers, but the ones sold here should be raised in fisheries. The marine fish are over there, and those are marine fish. Xia Libing pointed to the marine fish placed on the ice on the other side. said.
Is it delicious? Liu Shiling bit her lip and said.
Whether it tastes good or not depends not only on the ingredients, but also on how it is cooked. Herring should be boiled to taste, and it needs to be very spicy! Yang Zhen'er interjected.
Tang Baona immediately retorted: No, fish soup is delicious. Last Christmas, the fish soup tofu made by Xiang Kun was particularly good and fragrant. I still remember the feeling when I took the first sip of fish soup. It was really delicious. ...It tastes so good to the bottom of my heart. The fish meat is also very tender and delicious...
It wasn't herring that made soup to the chef that day, right? Yang Zhener asked.
What we are discussing now is how to do it.
Lao Xia, do you think it's better to boil fish fillets in water or boil them in clear soup? Yang Zhener asked Xia Libing.
Braised in soy sauce is not bad. Lao Xia's answer was still simple.
So Yang Zhener turned to Xiang Kun and said, Chef Xiang, if it was you who cooked it, how would you cook this fish?
Xiang Kun smiled and said, I won't be cooking fish tonight.
In this way, in front of any kind of food, several people can discuss everything from its habits to meat quality, cooking methods, and often what they have eaten before, making Liu Shiling keep licking her lips.
If Xiang Kun hadn't completed the shopping in the fresh food area and forced them to move, they would probably have enjoyed shopping here for several hours.
When buying some seasonings in the seasoning area, Xiang Kun noticed that in the snack area across the aisle, a young man was secretly taking pictures with his mobile phone. Judging from the angle of the camera, he obviously wanted to take a picture of Xia Li. Bing, Tang Baona, and Yang Zhener are three girls.
So Xiang Kun moved slightly, just blocking his camera angle.
The young man was not discouraged. He pretended to look at his phone while choosing snacks, slowly moved his position, and continued to find angles to take candid photos.
Xiang Kun was a little unhappy, but he did not look back at the young man. Instead, he controlled a few balls and let them climb out of his pocket, slid from the inside of his jacket to his cuffs, and then accidentally flicked the balls. Zhu jumped out from the bottom of the shelf on the ground and ambushed the young man.
Just when the young man locked the profile of Tang Baona through the camera of his mobile phone and was about to press the shooting button, the screen suddenly went black. No matter how he pressed the power button or unlocked it with his fingerprint, the phone did not respond.
It took dozens of seconds for the phone to recover, but by this time, Xiang Kun and others who were originally in the condiment area opposite had already moved their positions.
When checking out, Liu Shiling counted the items that Xiang Kun took out of the shopping cart one by one. She tapped them gently with her little finger. While clicking, she asked Lao Xia, who was standing behind her, what words she didn't recognize on the packaging bags. Xia Du patiently answered them one by one.
Of course, Liu Shiling may not be able to understand it, but she listens very happily.
Sister, what's the difference between chili pepper and Sichuan peppercorns? Liu Shiling raised her head and asked.
Xia Libing explained simply: Chili peppers are mainly spicy, while Sichuan peppercorns are mainly numb.
oh.
Seeing that Liu Shiling was confused, Yang Zhener gently pinched her chubby cheeks and said: Eating too much pepper means 'Wow! Wow! Wow!~', and eating too much pepper means 'hiss~~ ~~~~~', do you understand?
Liu Shiling definitely nodded more this time.
Because Xiang Kun took away the money for lunch, Shi Ling’s mother in the supermarket insisted that she pay for the ingredients she bought in the evening. Xiang Kun couldn’t refuse. Anyway, the things she bought were not too much, so she and Tang Baona first Wait for them at the exit to avoid too many people blocking the queue behind you.
Unexpectedly, Lao Xia and Zhen'er are actually quite good at raising children. Tang Baona looked at Yang Zhen'er who was chatting and laughing with the little chubby girl over there, and said to Xiang Kun next to her.
Because Xiao Lingdang is no ordinary child. Xiang Kun said with a smile.
Tang Baona looked back at Xiang Kun and said, It feels like we've only seen you for a few days, and you've changed a lot.
Oh? What changed? Xiang Kun was startled and asked.
There must have been some changes. When he came back this time, he had completed a routine of drinking blood and devouring other mutated creatures. Naturally, there was a lot of mutation and evolution taking place in the body.
But every time he drinks blood, his appearance will be inspected and recorded. After drinking blood these two times, although there are clear changes in his sensory abilities and other inner qualities, the changes in appearance and body shape should be very small. You can't see it, right? If it was very obvious, Lao Xia would have reminded him.
Tang Baona said: I think you seem to be more calm when talking and doing things, um... more confident. She couldn't help but laugh: I remember when I first met you, every time you went to a place, you would be the first to First, observe your surroundings, with your eyes and ears in all directions. Lao Xia said this is because you are wary and insecure, but now I rarely see you observing your surroundings.
Xiang Kun smiled: After all, you have to be a boss and start a company now, so of course you have to be confident.
There was a wry smile in his heart. It wasn't that he didn't observe his surroundings now, he just didn't need to use his eyes to observe.
In fact, the scope of observation is now much larger than before, and the types of information obtained are also richer. Moreover, there is no need to concentrate specifically on observing and analyzing the sensory information obtained. It has become his instinct, so On the surface, he didn't need to distract himself from observing his surroundings, as everything was already under control.
This kind of detailed change in behavior will indeed be noticed by people who know her well - of course, Tang Baona is also relatively sensitive.
Xiang Kun thought again about his actions in preventing others from secretly taking photos, and when he arrived in Star City yesterday, he helped plainclothes discover fish that slipped through the net.
The more information he knows now, the more abilities he has. Gradually, he seems to want to influence things within his control more and more, and his desire for control is getting stronger and stronger.
Alert to his own psychological changes, Xiang Kun decided to find time to consult Lao Xia, a psychiatrist.
