Chapter 192
On the last day of February, an old man passed away.

Bing Xin, the old man of the century passed away forever on this day at the age of 99.

The old man Bing Xin was born in 1900 and died in 1999, just witnessing a whole century of changes.

Old man Bing Xin passed away at 28:[-] p.m. on the [-]th. There were related reports on the Internet after [-]:[-] p.m., while the news was reported on the morning news the next day on TV.

When the family was eating breakfast together and saw the news, grandpa felt very sorry: "Grandma Bing Xin is gone! What a pity."

"That's right!" Grandma said after watching the host tell the time of Bing Xin's birth and death, "It would be great if Grandma Bing Xin was born a year earlier and died a year later."

"Why?" Grandpa was puzzled.

"Then we can witness three centuries." Grandma said.

"..."

Ma Xiaolong almost spit out a mouthful of porridge, managed to swallow the porridge, and said with a smile: "Grandma is right, if that's the case, Grandma Bing Xin is not the old man of the century, but the old man of the third century."

"That's right!" Grandma said happily, "It's still my eldest grandson who can talk."

Everyone couldn't help laughing, it was a sad thing, but it made grandma a happy thing.

After breakfast, Ma Xiaolong went to the office building of the base, met with the person in charge of the base, and talked about some follow-up development matters.

The development of the base is much better and faster than expected, resulting in some infrastructure facilities not meeting the requirements, such as corresponding roads, bus stations, and standardized fleets and drivers, which will affect the outside world's perception of the local city appearance. the opinion of.

The higher-ups also pay more attention to this matter, but some content still requires the person in charge of the base to interview the higher-level people, and by the way, propose the follow-up development of the base and related supporting needs, all of which need the upper-level people to come forward to solve them.

As the top leader, Li Yuanchao is also actively preparing for this meeting. As the leader who came by airborne, what is the purpose?Isn't it a beautiful achievement!In this era, development is the last word.

What does it take to develop?The leadership above is only one aspect, the most important thing is actually the long-term planning, and... money!

If you don't have money, you can develop a hammer!

As Li Yuanchao's greatest reliance, Ma Xiaolong's scientific research base is directly related to his future.

On the other hand, Li Yuanchao's wife, Sun Yan, is also ready to meet with the person in charge of the scientific research base. She wants to contribute to the local infrastructure construction.On the one hand, speeding up urban construction will allow my husband to have more political achievements, and on the other hand, he will also make a small fortune along the way.

The husband and wife are gearing up for a big fight. As their child, Li Xin has had a hard time this year.

In just [-] days, the whole person lost five or six catties, but the effect is very good. With the hard work of hanging the beam and stabbing the buttocks, I finally caught up with the study progress to the first half of the second year of junior high school. According to this progress, it only takes another three to five months to catch up with the progress of high school.

The sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man is resisting. This kind of devil learning method not only did not make him exhausted, but also made him develop the habit of not learning uncomfortable skills. During this time, apart from eating, drinking and sleeping, almost I gave up all entertainment and socializing, and completely followed the study.

The results are gratifying, but Li Yuanchao and Sun Yan are really distressed. The child who has been a little devil for ten years suddenly changes his ways and changes his past. Is this a distortion of human nature?Or moral decay?

No, it's not, it's...

"Peerless martial arts, I must learn peerless martial arts..."

Every time they heard Li Xin's dream talk, Li Yuanchao and Sun Yan's faces were darkened.

Martial arts novels are very harmful.

……

In the last few days of the winter vacation, Ma Xiaolong and Zhu Sha returned to Heyan's home, Zhang Zhiling and Chen Jun also returned, and the villa was left to three people who wanted to enjoy themselves, grandpa, grandma and Ma Xiaofeng.

Zhang Zhiling and Chen Jun still lived in the opposite house, and Ma Xiaolong and Zhu Sha enjoyed the sweetness of their world for a few days.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, grandpa, grandma, Ma Xiaofeng, Ma Qiangsheng, and Liu Ying all came back. After today, the family will go their separate ways. Before that, there is always a reunion dinner.

Early this morning, Ma Xiaolong personally shook hundreds of Lantern Festivals. There are two flavors, one with five kernels and one with fruit. They are cooked in the pot and shared with everyone. They are sweet and soft, and the soup is also very delicious. It's sticky, and it's very comfortable to drink in the stomach.

"It's delicious." Ma Xiaofeng ate twenty Yuanxiao by himself, and said, "My brother's Yuanxiao is much more delicious than the ones sold outside."

"Don't eat too much if it's delicious." Ma Xiaolong said: "Calorie bomb, eating too much will make you fat."

"I'm not afraid of getting fat." Ma Xiaofeng said, "I'm not like my sister-in-law and Xiaojun. In order to become a big star in the future, I have to manage my body. If I eat something delicious, it's my own."

Liu Ying chuckled, and said, "That's right, what you eat is your own. Xiaosha and Xiaojun care too much about their figure, and they have to control their meals. It's too painful."

Zhu Sha and Chen Jun were helpless when they said this, and they didn't want to. They blamed Ma Xiaolong for saying that they would start learning body management last summer, which made them lose a lot of fun in enjoying food.

"It's all your fault!" Zhu Sha glared at him with resentful eyes.

Ma Xiaolong spread his hands together: "Can this be my fault? I want to be a star, but I don't want to manage my body. How can there be such a good thing in the world?"

"But we can't eat a lot of delicious food." Zhu Sha complained: "Do you know the pain of not being able to eat fried skewers and drink carbonated drinks?"

"It's not that I don't want you to eat it, but these foods are too high in calories and too sweet, so it's easy to eat too much by accident, so can I not get fat?" Ma Xiaolong said: "I'm doing this for your own good."

"Don't listen, don't listen, Wang Ba recites the scriptures."

"..."

It was still Liu Ying who felt sorry for her daughter-in-law and said, "Xiaolong, haven't you researched a lot of prescriptions! Is there any prescription that won't make you fat no matter how much you eat?"

"Well..." Ma Xiaolong rubbed his chin and said, "It really is."

"Really!?" Zhu Sha and Chen Jun's eyes lit up.

"There are indeed, but there are also shortcomings." Ma Xiaolong said.

"What shortcoming?" Zhu Sha asked.

"Eating food is not easy to absorb, and it will increase the amount of stool." Ma Xiaolong looked at her and Chen Jun, and said with a smile: "Simply speaking, if you eat more, you will also defecate more."

"Bah~!" Everyone is eating Lantern Festival!The people who said this were disgusted and glared at him one after another.

Ma Xiaolong shrank his neck and said, "You can't take this kind of medicine too often, or you'll be prone to malnutrition. It's enough to take it once every three days."

"That's not bad." Liu Ying said: "There are so many weight-loss drugs on the market now, but they are basically useless, and they like to rebound. You can't do it?"

"Absolutely not." Ma Xiaolong said: "A few years ago, my aunt bought a pharmaceutical factory, and I passed this prescription to her later. Now the life of ordinary people is getting better every day, the food is getting better every day, and there are more and more fat people every day. In the future, there will definitely be many fat people who will worry about losing weight, but with this diet pill, they will not have to worry about being fat."

"This is good." Grandpa patted his general's belly and said, "I gained more than ten catties last year. Give me a piece of diet pills later, and I have to lose my stomach no matter what."

"Okay." Ma Xiaolong nodded: "I'll boil a pot of ointment in a while, and knead it into honeyed pills, which are easy to swallow. Take some with you when you leave, and ask me after you finish eating."

"Okay." Grandpa said cheerfully: "Our little dragon is really a little jingle bell, and he will respond to every request."

"Really." Grandma laughed and said, "There is nothing impossible for my eldest grandson. Our family is really thanks to Xiaolong."

Everyone nodded.

Ma Xiaolong couldn't bear such flattery, so he listened to it for a long time with a happy face, until there was no more flattery, then he plunged into the kitchen and boiled the ointment.

After working for two or three hours, a pot of ointment came out of the oven, and then they were kneaded into honey pills one by one, wrapped in honey pill paper, put into a plastic bag and sealed.

A bag of ten pills can last for a month.

A total of thirteen bags were sealed, and all of them were stored in the refrigerator to be refrigerated and taken when to eat.

Finally, he took out a few bulk honey pills for everyone to try.

"This thing can lose weight?" Liu Ying frowned looking at the honey pill the size of her little finger. She recalled the fear of taking traditional Chinese medicine pills when she was a child.

Bitter and astringent, worse than shit.

"The main thing is to keep people from getting fat. Losing weight is a side effect, but it's not a problem to lose three catties a month." Ma Xiaolong said: "One pill at a time, once every three days."

"Is it bitter?" Liu Ying looked distressed: "If it's too bitter, I'm afraid I'll vomit."

"Bitter is definitely bitter, but don't taste it, just swallow it with water." Ma Xiaolong said.

"This..." Liu Ying looked at the size of the honey pill, hesitated and said, "It's too big, I can't swallow it."

"That's easy to say." Ma Xiaolong put the honey pill on the cutting board, smashed it flat, cut it into a dozen small pieces, and said, "This can be swallowed."

"..." This is really a good way.

"Your mother is so delicate." With a look of disdain, the grandma threw the honey pill into her mouth, chewed it up and swallowed it. Maybe she felt a bit bitter, so she drank two more sips of water and said, "Isn't this the end of the meal?"

"..."

"Grandma is still the best." Ma Xiaolong picked Thumbs up, turned his head to look at the crowd, and said, "Much better than them."

"Hmph! Don't look down on people!" Ma Xiaofeng couldn't stand the stimulation, so she threw the honey pill into her mouth and chewed it twice. She had a strong face at first, but after three seconds, it turned into a bitter face: "I can't... water! Give me water!" I water!"

"Hahahaha..." Everyone laughed, but they couldn't laugh anymore because they haven't eaten yet!

"Forget it, I won't take it." Ma Qiangsheng put down the honey pill: "I usually work a lot, so I don't need to lose weight."

"I don't eat anymore." Zhang Zhiling smiled and said, "I think my weight is quite standard now."

Ma Xiaolong glanced at it and nodded: "It is true that you don't need to eat. Your current body is said to be fat if you gain one point, and thin if you lose one point. That is just right."

Zhang Zhiling smiled like a flower: "I will speak nicely."

"Then I..." Liu Ying wanted to follow the trend.

"You have to eat it!" Ma Xiaolong pointed to the crumbs and said, "I've cut them into dices for you."

"..."

There was no way, Liu Ying bit the bullet and took more than a dozen honey pills three times with water, her throat was also pitifully small.

Grandpa, like grandma, cheerfully threw the honey pills into his mouth, chewed them into pieces, and ate them into his stomach. After drinking two sips of water, he was fine. He looked like a poor man who had gnawed on tree bark and grass roots seriously.

Zhu Sha and Chen Jun met each other's eyes, put the honey pills into their mouths, and swallowed them with water.

"Not bad." Ma Xiaolong clapped his hands: "I halved the size of the honey pill according to the size of my throat and rubbed it out. As long as I overcome the psychological barrier, I can swallow it. Isn't it bitter?"

"It's okay." Zhu Sha felt the taste in his mouth, and said, "It's a bit sweet like honey."

"This is a honey pill." Ma Xiaolong said with a smile: "With the addition of honey, it must have a sweet taste."

Turning to look at Chen Jun: "Xiao Jun, how are you?"

Chen Jun covered her mouth and retched twice, then waved her hand: "It's a bit nauseating."

"It seems that your esophagus is a bit thin." Ma Xiaolong patted her on the back a few times, abruptly patted down the nausea: "Is it better?"

Chen Jun hissed and said 'hmm': "It's much better."

"It seems that you can only cut it into pieces and eat it in the future." Ma Xiaolong said, "If not, I will make the honeyed pills smaller in the future and wrap them in a capsule shell, so that the bitter taste will not be tasted."

"You should have done this from the beginning." Liu Ying complained, "Look, Xiaofeng is suffering."

Ma Xiaofeng: "???"

"Okay!" Ma Xiaolong rubbed Ma Xiaofeng's dog's head, and said, "It's my fault, I've learned my lesson, and I won't do this again."

"It's good to eat something, and you know how to blame others every day." Grandma was not happy, and gave Liu Ying a lesson: "Don't eat if you have the ability, you will get fat."

"..." Facing her old mother, Liu Ying could only shrink aside and pretend to be a quail.

"Cough! I'm going to cut some mutton. Let's boil the mutton tonight." Ma Xiaolong went into the kitchen to hide.

"I'm going to help my brother." Chen Jun also ran out.

"I'll go too." Zhu Sha slipped away.

Ma Xiaofeng ran upstairs: "I'm going to play with the computer for a while."

"..."

Shabu mutton is not as troublesome as preparing stir-fried dishes. There are ready-made frozen mutton slices, hot pot bases and dipping sauces in general aquatic products stores. You only need to buy some shabu-shabu dishes such as potatoes, vermicelli, cabbage, and tofu up.

But if you want it to be delicious, you still have to buy fresh lamb meat and cut it yourself, so that it will be fresh and tender after rinsing.

With Ma Xiaolong's cooking skills, the hot pot base and dipping sauce are prepared by himself.

Then cut some potato slices, lotus root slices, and cut old tofu into pieces, and put half of them in the refrigerator to freeze. When you eat at night, it will be frozen tofu.

Frozen tofu absorbs more juice and has a richer taste than fresh tofu.

Then wash some lettuce, lettuce and lettuce, and directly tear the cabbage by hand, soak the vermicelli in water, and rinse the vegetables like this.

Finally, make some dumplings, and the staple food is ready.

Busy at night, the whole family sat around the dining table and ate steaming mutton. The adults drank, Zhang Zhiling drank with a few children, talked and laughed, and let the three children (Ma Xiaofeng: ??? ) performed his talent and won rounds of applause.

Happy Lantern Festival.
