Gourmet and actor

City b, municipal hospital.

Xiao Ke was lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed, his thick eyelashes casting shadows on his deep eye sockets, his slender fingers folded neatly on his chest.

He seemed to be sleeping soundly, and the uncle in the next bed didn't shy away much when chatting with the patient: "That guy fought with someone and hurt his head and brought him in. He seems to be only 20 years old, and he has such a handsome face. He hasn't said a word for the past few days, his face is cloudy and sunny, I'm afraid he is thinking about how to take revenge after being discharged from the hospital. Young people nowadays, tsk tsk."

The old man's heartbroken sigh for the deteriorating world came to his ears, and Xiao Ke didn't even move his eyelashes.Compared to the shock brought to him by resurrecting the dead, being someone else's talking point is nothing.

He is Xiao Ke, the prince of the Dade Dynasty, who has been weak and sick since he was a child.Since the beginning of winter this year, the situation has gotten worse. The imperial physicians in the imperial court and the genius doctors in the rivers and lakes all concluded that he would not survive this winter.The shadow of death has accompanied him for 22 years, so when the deadline approached, he didn't feel very sad.

When he was dying, he vaguely heard his mother, empress and brother, sobbing.Tears stirred up ripples in the calm heart lake. He wanted to comfort his relatives, but his strength was uncontrollably lost.

In the midst of anxiety, the five senses that had been withdrawn suddenly disappeared and returned.Caught off guard by the headache, he shivered and opened his eyes suddenly.

But it is not the familiar relatives and palace that catches the eyes, but a group of strangers dressed in weird ways.They held strange cold metal instruments and kept moving on his head. He wanted to struggle, but his whole body was limp and weak, and his consciousness sometimes disappeared and sometimes became blurred.

This state lasted for a long time.Half asleep, half awake, from the conversations of others, he knew that he came to a completely different world from the past, attached to a young man named Xiao Ke.When he woke up just now, the doctor was treating his wound.

For example, the Three Emperors and Five Emperors are "ancient" compared to the Dade Dynasty, and this era is "modern" compared to his era.

He has no memory of Xiao Ke's experience, only inquiring about some fragments from the mouth of the original owner's roommate who took care of him in the past two days.

Xiao Ke is an actor who was born as a child star.Relying on his appearance, he was caught by a famous director when he was eight years old, and played the role of a little prince in a certain hit drama.The cute image of early wisdom is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and there are still people who never forget it.

He entered the show business circle from this, but he never came up with a decent masterpiece after that.Children grow up fast, and once the golden age of child star is over, Xiao Ke, who has not yet made a name for herself, gradually becomes silent.These years have been getting worse and worse. I usually rely on sporadic commercial performances to earn some living expenses, and occasionally play supporting roles in small-budget TV shows, which is very depressing.

The day before the accident, Xiao Ke called his roommate and excitedly said that the famous director who discovered him back then found him again and asked him to audition immediately.The roommate prepared food and wine at home, and waited for Xiao Ke to come back to celebrate.Unexpectedly, after waiting left and right, the last call came from a stranger, saying coldly that something happened to Xiao Ke.

When the roommate rushed to the hospital, the caller had already left, but before leaving, he paid [-] yuan in advance for Xiao Ke's medical expenses.

The doctor examined Xiao Ke, who was unconscious, and confirmed that the head wound was hit with a blunt instrument, and there were multiple soft tissue contusions on his body, which were obviously caused by fighting.

It was said to be a fight, but based on the roommate's understanding of Xiao Ke's physical strength, he should have been beaten unilaterally.I wanted to call the police, but I didn't know who Xiao Ke had provoked, so I had to wait for him to wake up first.

But when Xiao Ke woke up, he had become Xiao Ke. He had no memory, and he didn't know who did it. He could only vaguely deal with his roommate, saying that he would solve this matter by himself.

Although he didn't know the truth, Xiao Ke didn't have a clue in his mind.

According to the results of quiet observation these days, this Luli and weird era is not as anxious and righteous as in ancient times, and most people are indifferent to things that have nothing to do with them.Some kind-hearted people may take him to the hospital, but no one will pay the medical bills and leave without leaving his name.

The mysterious person who notified his roommate and left another [-] in cash must have something to do with the person who injured him.

Although there are clues, Xiao Ke does not plan to pursue them for the time being.It's not that I don't want to, but that I don't have the ability.

From the fact that no one came to visit these days, we knew that the original owner had no friends.And three years ago, in order to persist in acting, he had a falling out with his parents and ran away from home, and he has not recovered contact until now.

If the skills are decent, without the help of relatives and friends, it is not impossible to take revenge alone.But with the wrist strength that this body can't even break an apple with bare hands, it's better not to be impulsive, and wait until the time is right.

The roommate said that someone had found the owner's information based on the phone number. Although some terms were still unclear, Xiao Ke understood that this meant finding the name of the accomplice.With a name, there will be a goal for future liquidation.

Yesterday, the so-called mobile phone suddenly made a strange sound, and a few lines of strange words appeared on the glass board, which was brighter than the night pearl.The roommate glanced over and reminded him that he was living with the people of the bank.Coins—that is, silver taels. After deducting utility bills, there are only about [-] yuan left.

Even though he still only has a half-knowledge about the world and doesn't know what utility bills are, Xiao Ke still guesses from his roommate's worried tone that his net worth is pitifully small.

The top priority is to settle down and live well as Xiao Ke.You have to work hard to learn the knowledge of this world, at least not to show your timidity.

As a lord who has been spoiled by everyone because of his health since he was a child, and dared not give the moon to the stars, when he thought of living in a completely strange world, Xiao Ke felt that his half-healed head had begun to recover again. It's a dull pain.

Except for roommates, he didn't know anyone the original owner knew. If he continued to be an actor, he might show his feet, but he didn't have any special skills.

He is good at the six arts of a gentleman, especially the five rituals.But in this era, the content of schoolwork for scholars is quite different from before, and the etiquette has undergone earth-shaking changes. Presumably, those things are no longer needed.Ordinary people who want to find a job in the 360 ​​line of work seem to have to learn at least one skill called operating a computer first.

He had seen a computer in a doctor's office, and he was dazzled by the keyboard engraved with Western symbols, and the screen full of rectangular icons made him even more intimidated.I don't know how long it takes to learn.

It is not easy to live in modern times. If you can concentrate on studying for a year or two without any worries, it will be fine.

The more he thought about it, the more upset he became, Xiao Ke couldn't lie down anymore, got out of bed and put on his coat, ready to go outside for some air.Seeing him waking up, the talkative uncle shut up embarrassingly.

This hospital is quite large, with several buildings in the inpatient department alone.Xiao Ke didn't know the Arabic numerals on the door, so he just silently remembered that it was the second-to-last room on the right.He was afraid that he would not be able to distinguish these identical high-rise buildings when he went out, and if he got lost, he would not be able to find his way back, so he just wandered up and down between the corridors.

Walking aimlessly, he was suddenly attracted by the smell of food.

In fact, the taste is just ordinary, not attractive, worse than the food of the maids in his palace.But in the icy hospital, the scent was extraordinarily soft and inviting, attracting Xiao Ke to walk over involuntarily.

It was a single ward, and there was a cooking table made of tiles near the door. A middle-aged man was cooking food with electrical appliances.

Recognizing that it was his favorite flat food when he was a child, Xiao Ke couldn't help but look at it a few more times.I found that the water in the pot was boiling happily, and the two flat food floating on it had broken their skins. The appearance was really unappetizing.

Xiao Ke's health is not good, and there are many soups and medicines in four seasons, so there are many taboos.One of the few hobbies is to urge the old royal chef given to him by his mother to find ways to renovate the limited ingredients and make different delicacies.Once you have a good idea, you often do it yourself.Accumulated over a long period of time, the craftsmanship seems to have been the true inheritance of the old imperial chef, and there is still a faint posture of being out of blue.

He couldn't help reminding: "The water rises too much and the skin will be exposed. You need to add some cold water."

Seeing that he was about to cook a pot of paste, the man was worrying. Hearing his words, he quickly poured half a cup of cold water into it.

Seeing that the dumplings that were about to break the skin obediently sank to the bottom, the man breathed a sigh of relief, and said embarrassedly: "Young man, thank you for reminding me. This is the last bag of dumplings in the hospital supermarket. If they are cooked, I don't know where to buy them." .”

Xiao Kexin said that it was just like the doctor boy is now called a nurse, and the flat food is now called a dumpling.He shook his head, imitating the speech style he had learned in the past few days: "You're welcome, after the water boils, you add cold water twice, and the dumplings are ready to eat. By the way, do you add any salt?"

"So we need to add it now? I always thought it should be cooked before putting it in." The man quickly shook some salt into the pot.

Xiao Ke said: "It's not for seasoning, but to make the dumpling skin more durable."

Nowadays, there are very few young people who are proficient in cooking, let alone a handsome young man.The man glanced at him in admiration, noticed the hospital gown on his body, and said, "Young man, which room do you live in? It's almost meal time. My father and I can't finish this big pot, so I'll bring you some. "

"Thank you, my friend will bring me food, no need."

Xiao Ke originally wanted to leave, but then he thought that his roommate usually had to go to work, so he had no time to chat; the uncle in the same room always liked to go around and ask about his affairs, and it was very uncomfortable to deal with.If you want to learn more about this world, besides going to the duty room to borrow a lot of newspapers that you can't understand, maybe you can also chat with this good-tempered person.

Thinking of this, he changed his words and asked, "Are you taking care of the sick in the room?"

"Yeah, my family is busy recently, so I will come to the hospital to accompany and take care of them." After the dumplings rolled three times, the man turned off the power, put them into a bowl, and at the same time did not forget to keep them: "It's all cooked, taste it for two let's go."

Xiao Ke looked at the sky, guessed that his roommate was coming soon, and declined politely: "No need, my friend will come over soon, I have to go. My surname is Xiao, and I live in the penultimate room downstairs on the right. I will chat with you tomorrow."

The man didn't hold back anymore: "Okay. My surname is Han, see you tomorrow."

Not long after Xiao Ke returned to the room, roommate Yu Xiaoyue came with an insulated lunch box.

The meals in the hospital can only fill the stomach, and there is no nutrition at all.Yu Xiaoyue spent money to ask a nearby small restaurant to make some other nourishing soup dishes, and delivered them to Xiao Ke on time twice a day.

No matter what people say or what they say, Xiao Ke knows that this friend really cares about him.Although the taste of the food is not very good, it is difficult for Xiao Ke who is used to being picky, but seeing his friend's kindness, he never said anything, and he ate it obediently every time.

Yu Xiaoyue is lively by nature, and every day when delivering meals, he will tell a few jokes to relieve Xiao Ke's boredom, but Xiao Ke can't understand it now.It's not surprising that he blamed it on the slow reaction to injury, but it's just a habit of explaining after telling a joke.Thanks to him, Xiao Ke now knows a lot of messy common sense.

But today, Yu Xiaoyue was sluggish and talked very little.Divided the rice into two parts, handed one to Xiao Ke, and handed out the other for a long time, but didn't move his chopsticks.

"What happened?" Xiao Ke didn't put down his chopsticks either.

Yu Xiaoyue still looked terrified, hesitated for a moment, and then said cautiously: "Xiao Ke, my dad went back to his hometown to build an orchard, and signed a fruit purchase contract with the Han Group. He asked me to resign and go back to help...you It's inconvenient to stay by yourself, why don't you go with me and stay for a while?"
