What It’s Like Being a Vampire

In the kitchen, Xiang Kun handled the ingredients proficiently, and she whispered to Tang Baona who wanted to help but didn't know where to start:

"By the way, I made a small wooden sculpture to make you a Christmas gift. Because time is too late, I only made one and put it in the bag with sauce over there. You will wait for us to leave before unpacking the gift, or let Lao Yang saw that I didn’t prepare her share, so I had to be harassed by her all night, and I had to be forced to sign some unequal treaties to get out. When I meet next time, I will get a wooden sculpture to make up for her Christmas A gift is just fine"

Tang Baona couldn't help but smile: "'Lao Yang'... You can try calling her like that in front of her. I really want to see her expression when she hears this name, haha..." Then she said to him His gift also came in interest, and asked: "What is your small wooden sculpture? Is it an original image or an anime image?"

"When you look back, you will know." Xiang Kun said.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh! You can tell me later, you just say now, I really want to go see it now..."

"Nana, what are you looking at?" Yang Zhener's puzzled voice suddenly came from the kitchen door, making Tang Baona almost jumped up in fright.

"Ah? Didn't watch anything? See what you want to eat at night!"

Yang Zhen'er didn't notice anything strange. Nana was surprised in the kitchen and said, "I want to take Xiaoping to the room to see your collections."

Tang Baona has collected a lot of animation and game accessories, many of which are very rare versions, and Qin Ping, a classmate Yang Zhener invited over today, is also interested in these.

"Yes." Tang Baona replied, without explaining anything else. She knew that Yang Zhener was watching by her side, and it would be okay to let people destroy her collection.

After getting her approval, Yang Zhener made a fist gesture to Xiang Kun next to Tang Baona: "Come on! Chef Xiang! My stomach is ready!"

After Yang Zhener took the classmates away, Xiang Kun smiled at Tang Baona: "You also go and chat with your friends."

"Uh, you come to my house to help us cook and do it all by yourself. I'm sorry!"

"Go, go, anyway, you can't help. Get here to take up my space and reduce my efficiency." Xiang Kun smiled.

"What?" Tang Baona glared at him: "Do you dare to dislike me?"

"Go go." Xiang Kun waved her out, knowing she was acting.

To prepare dinner for ten people, even for the current Xiang Kun, it is quite difficult. He has already calculated the entire cooking process in his mind and made a very detailed division of steps. Tang Baona staying in the kitchen is a huge variable that will indeed affect his plan and process. Of course, he knew that he wouldn't mind if he said that Tang Baona, if someone else was here, he would change his euphemism.

"Okay, okay, you let me out anyway, it's not that I'm lazy and don't help~!"

Tang Baona walked out of the kitchen as she said, and then she was shocked to find that the people who had been chatting in the living room and balcony were no longer there.

Then she followed the voice and found a large group of people gathered in her room. A few of them couldn't even get in, so they could only stand at the door.

Although her room is quite big, it can't be crowded by so many people at once.

As soon as Tang Baona walked over, she heard the voice of Linlin’s husband, Xie Peng, the art director of the game company with a pigtail: "This big sword and this dumb hair were all directly carved? This is very laborious. Patience and technique are very tested! When I was in the Academy of Fine Arts, I also played wood carving with a few seniors, and I know how difficult it is! This producer is a master!"

Then there was Yang Zhen'er's voice: "Brother Peng, look at this again, how is this carved?"

Behind a bunch of people, Tang Baona draped Wang Han and her sister’s shoulders, tiptoes and looked between them, and saw Yang Zhen'er pointing to the defective and semi-finished wood carving Saber that Xiang Kun had not done at the beginning. Asked Xie Peng.

"What's the matter?" Tang Baona asked in a low voice in confusion.

Tang Baoting endured her laughter and replied in a low voice, "Zhen'er showed her classmates to see your collection, and was attracted by your Saber woodcarving. While discussing, Xie Peng and his wife also came to see it. It happened that he had learned a little woodcarving before. , It's a comment."

She knew the origins of these wood carvings, so she knew that Yang Zhener was going to mess it up again.

In Tang Baona’s room, the most conspicuous are the two wood carvings, one is a finished saber wood carving, and the other is a semi-finished saber wood carving with flaws, and she has made a transparent display box and placed it on the shelf, which seems to pay the same attention. .

"This...'Cthulhu Saber','Venus Saber'?" Xie Peng observed the semi-finished wood carving, shook his head and said, "This is obviously a beginner's work. These two works are not of the same level."

"What if the level of the producer is one level?" Yang Zhener said.

"You mean, he carved it like this on purpose?" Xie Peng observed again and shook his head affirmatively: "Impossible. From the perspective of the work, it cannot be of a level. If you don't look at the work, it will How to judge the level of two producers?"

"What if I can prove it? If I prove that these two producers are of the same level, how about you calling me "Sister Three" from now on?"

Tang Baona, who looked behind Tang Baoting, immediately understood Yang Zhen'er's purpose, and it must be Xie Peng who called her "Lao Yang Yang" again today.

"Okay! As long as you have a way to prove that these two producers are indeed at the same level, so many of us are watching, you can't use shameless methods! I don't believe you..." Xie Peng judged himself very much. Be confident.

But before he finished speaking, Yang Zhener said in a flat and quiet tone: "Their producers are the same person."

Xie Peng was taken aback, looked at two wood carvings again, and said in surprise: "The same person? How could it be possible!"

"It's indeed the same person." Tang Baona smiled and walked over and said, "And you know that person."

"I know?" Xie Peng frowned and recalled, muttering: "Our classmates, your relatives, I have seen, I know, it seems that there is no person who can do wood carving, and there is such a level... …" At this point, he was taken aback for a while, and then looked at Yang Zhener: "It's not'Chef Xiang', right?"

He still remembered that when Tang Baona had her birthday, a group of their friends celebrated in the box, and then Yang Zhener introduced them to Xiang Kun.

First, I introduced Xiang Kun as a culinary genius, bow and arrow genius, and martial arts expert. Then I asked them to guess Xiang Kun’s job and drink when they guessed wrong. As a result, no one guessed his occupation, and everyone was fined several glasses.

Could it be that he can do wood carving besides cooking, bow and arrow, martial arts, and his job as a programmer? Oh, by the way, this buddy sings very well, very contagious.

Yang Zhener laughed and said: "BINGO! You guessed it! Both of these were made to the chef! The same person is naturally of the same level! Old Xie, I'm not a sister!"

"No, it's the same person, at different times, the level is different..." Xie Peng struggled.

"How long does it take to be the same period? How long?"

"How come it will take a year...in half a year!"

"The two wood carvings will not be more than half a month apart! Quickly, call me sister!"

Xie Peng's eyes widened, and he looked at Tang Baona incredulously for confirmation. The latter shrugged helplessly to show that what Yang Zhen'er said was indeed true.

Xie Peng had no choice but to say: "Unexpectedly, you were fooled by your career as a chef last time, and this time you have fallen into love again! Third sister! Third sister! Satisfied..."

"Hey, brother Peng is good." Yang Zhener said happily.

Xie Peng wasn't upset either, their group of friends had been losing money all the time, and his wife Linlin also couldn't afford to laugh.

Wang Han, who was watching the excitement by the door, turned around and said to Chang Bin, "Xiang Kun would still do woodcarving?" She was a little strange. If she usually has this kind of talent, Chang Bin logically said that when she asked her to introduce Tang Baona to Xiang Kun, I should be able to mention it. After all, this is not as good as piano or violin, but it is also considered as an artistic talent, which is a bonus.

Chang Bin shook his head: "It's also the first time I know that he can do woodcarving. I certainly won't in college. I guess I learned it after work."

Although Xiang Kun was cooking attentively, he knew exactly what happened in Tang Baona's room. He doesn't really care that he is known for his woodcarving craftsmanship. At most, he is good at learning and talented in woodcarving.

However, after coming out of Tang Baona's room, the conversation among the crowd focused on Xiang Kun.

Tang Baona and Yang Zhen'er praised how delicious Xiang Kun's dishes were, and Tang Baoting kept contending next to them, whipping up the appetites of those who hadn't eaten Xiang Kun before.

Xie Peng and Linlin described the situation when Xiang Kun sang "A Person Like Me" on KTV on Tang Baona's birthday, saying that someone was directly cried by Xiang Kun, and the singing was extremely influential. So everyone decided unanimously to find a chance to let Xiang Kun sing another song after dinner.

Then Yang Zhener took out her phone again and played the video of Xiangkun's "saw the righteousness" before showing it to Qin Ping, Chang Bin and Tang Baoting who hadn't watched it before. It also boasted Xiang Kun's "shenwu" Fan.

Had it not been for Chang Bin to talk about the embarrassment they had in college from time to time, Xi Xiangkun's current psychological quality would be a little too much for them to praise.

At 6:11 in the evening, eleven minutes later than planned, Xiang Kun began to ask Tang Baona and Yang Zhener to help out.

As the Tang sisters and Yang Zhen'er bragged before, everyone else also had extremely high expectations for Xiang Kun's dishes.

Now I saw the first few dishes that were really appetizing, and they all began to gather around the table to prepare for the meal.

Xiang Kun came out with a dish at the end, using the position of the seated person, guessing where the seated person should be, and then when putting down the dish, it seemed that it was just to put it more loosely, which was natural He adjusted the position of several other dishes so that he adjusted the dishes for specific tastes closer to the corresponding "diners".

Originally knew that when there were a total of ten people going to eat together tonight, Tang Baona and Yang Zhener were a little worried that Xiang Kun would not be able to handle it alone. They wanted to order ready-made dishes from the restaurant outside and only let Xiang Kun cook one. Two dishes will do.

However, after Xiang Kun calculated it, he still felt that a table of dishes could be handled by himself.

With the new cognitive model, when Xiang Kun is cooking, he can directly establish a cognitive model for each dish, how to arrange the cooking process between multiple dishes and how to change it according to the tastes of different people. The cooking details of any step can be adjusted more conveniently and efficiently, making it easier in the kitchen.

Tonight’s diners’ tastes, except for himself, Tang Baona and Yang Zhen’er are naturally what he knows best. Four dishes are made for their tastes; Tang Baoting and her fiance Gao Yao have had several meals together. The strategy level is over 50%, and two dishes are adjusted according to their tastes; Chang Bin is his university roommate and old brother, and occasionally eats together after graduation, although he has never eaten his own cooking. But there is also a basic judgment on taste. There are two dishes that recall his tastes. As for Xie Peng, Linlin, Xiaoping, and Wang Han, Xiang Kun doesn’t know their tastes and can only follow the local majority. The remaining four dishes are arranged in a lighter taste.

Of course, it's not that the dishes made for Tang Baona and Yang Zhener's taste are not eaten by others. Xiang Kun believes that other people will still think it tastes good, and if the taste is similar to the two of them, the feedback will be better. He has only done calculations before and feels that this kind of taste combination should be able to maximize everyone's satisfaction.

Everyone was about to sit down and start eating, Yang Zhen'er suddenly stopped and said: "Wait a minute, I will video with Lao Xia first!"

However, her video invitation was directly rejected.

So Yang Zhen'er turned to take a short video and sent it to Lao Xia. She deliberately took a close-up on Lao Xia’s favorite crispy assistant, and said while filming, "Hao oo oo ooh, did you see Lao Xia? My favorite crispy pork knuckle, I made it to the chef, um~~~ It smells really good! It must also taste pretty good! Oh, my saliva is almost drained! Don’t worry, Lao Xia, sister, I will Help you solve them all!"

Seeing what Yang Zhener looked like after posting the video, Tang Baoting couldn't help but smile: "I now know why your cousin didn't accept your video invitation."

Tonight, apart from Xiang Kun and Gao Yao's one million years of boiled water and one million years of ice-cola, there are also two gentlemen, Chang Bin and Xie Peng, who can drink, and they can all drink.

But tonight it is obvious that the girls are the protagonists. They are either girls or sisters, or sisters or classmates, so whether it is Wang Han or Linlin, they all drink.

Chang Bin and Xie Peng simply accompany Gao Yao to drink Bing Kuo Luo and work as drivers late, and now they are focusing on dealing with dishes.

In fact, this table dish that Xiang Kun made, at first glance, is not too amazing, it can even be said to be too homely.

At a glance, apart from fish soup, there is no seafood at all. There are no lobsters, crabs, prawns, etc. Except for a few rabbit dishes, they are crispy pork knuckle, braised pork ribs, and fried chicken with sauce. Vegetables are just There are only cabbage and eggplant, and even the eggplants are frothy eggplant.

However, for these “diners” on the table, Tang Baona and others have known how delicious Xiang Kun’s dishes are. Others have just been overwhelmed by their expectations of Amway, so it is not because these ingredients are not “high-end” "And disappointed.

And when they started to eat, the stimulation brought by the aroma and taste buds even exceeded their expectations.

Chang Bin chewed a piece of dry pot rabbit meat, and couldn't help but look back at Xiang Kun: "You are really so good at cooking? If I saw you cooking just now, I would have doubted you. I just bought it in a restaurant outside! I really can’t tell! You kid... You said you want to go back to your hometown to open a farm? I think you don’t open any farms, just find a place and open a restaurant in this city. If you need anything, I can help too!"

Xiang Kun laughed and said, "Maybe I will really open a restaurant in the future." Then he pointed to another dish: "You try this. You have a stronger taste. You can eat spicy food. You can try this."

The table was quickly filled with admiration, and then continued to add dishes. Everyone wanted to try the taste of each dish. In comparison, Tang Baona, Yang Zhener, Tang Baoting and other people who had eaten Xiangkun’s dishes before, actually ate slower, and by the way helped introduce the taste of the dishes to people next to them. The good things of Amway also have the mentality of giving friends.

"Chef Xiang, I really admire it." The braided Xie Peng held a glass of Coke and respected Xiangkun: "When we first met, Mr. Yang...well, stop staring, don't stare, yes. Third sister, third sister, okay?" Yang Zhener responded with a threatening look at him with a smile, and continued to look at Xiang Kun and said: "The third sister called you'Chef Xiang', I thought it was just a joke. Call it, now I finally understand that the chef is really a chef! Oh, yes, your wood carvings are also quite good, admire!"

Then several other people on the table also took turns and Xiang Kun "toasted", thanking him for making such a large table of hearty food, but the more alternative is that the three men all use cola, while the six women all use red wine~www .novelmtl.com~ As for Xiang Kun, of course he drank several glasses of plain water.

Based on the body feedback of several people, Xiang Kun updates their tastes and preferences in real time, and then pretends to inadvertently recommend dishes that are more suitable for them.

Naturally, the dinner table is not only about eating, eating almost, and after drinking almost, they also start to chat frequently.

After Xiang Kun’s various sensory abilities have been greatly improved, and he has been trained to quickly analyze sensory information, and his brain-related processing capabilities have been evolved and strengthened, he is much better at communicating and chatting with people than before. Be able to analyze based on observations and then give feedback.

Especially after he learned a little bit of psychology and micro-expression-related skills, he applied it more freely.

But after really mastering and acquiring that brand-new cognitive model, Xiang Kun found that he had entered another realm in communicating with others.
