Mid-Levels Farm

The next morning, Shi Jiqing arrived in a hurry. She brought her assistant Gao Li over. This time, she not only brought a batch of ingredients that had just arrived by air, but also a set of knives and handed them to Xuan Xiaodong. "Mr. Xuan, this is a gift in return for you! This set of knives is said to be very sharp and suitable for cooking. Try it."

Xuan Xiaodong was a little surprised, took the knife, glanced at Sheng Wuyu, and said with a smile, "Call me Xiaodong, it's just some souvenirs... This knife looks like a foreign brand, right? It should be very expensive." .”

Shi Jiqing waved his hand carelessly: "Then you can also call me Sister Shi from now on! This is called a gift of a treasured knife to a hero! Xiaodong's cooking is so delicious, it is time to use a good knife. You try it first, and you will be in trouble at noon You have eaten here."

Gao Li's heart trembled slightly, he glanced at Sheng Dong, but saw Sheng Wuyu flipping through the contract with a blank face, but he didn't object, his heart was slightly sour, knowing that Shi Jiqing had been working since the time Sheng Dong resigned to start the company. By his side, she has always firmly occupied the position of the number one secretary by his side. I have only been in the company not long ago, so naturally I can't compare to her position in Dong Sheng's heart, but I am young and still have a chance!He cheered up again.

Xuan Xiaodong couldn't help laughing: "Secretary Shi's surname is called Sister Shi, it's weird, it seems to be on an ancient film set."

Shi Jiqing smiled and said, "You can also call me Sister Qing."

Sheng Wuyu said: "When we first started the company, there were few people in the company, and everyone called her Sister Shi. Outsiders sounded like we were senior sisters and brothers from some academy who came out to start the company. I don't know how many academic leaders and industry giants are behind us. It is unfathomable, everyone is in awe, the establishment of the company's high-tech brand began with the elder sister."

Shi Jiqing had already laughed: "Mr. Sheng actually knew about this stalk. I thought we were joking outside before, but Mr. Sheng didn't know."

Gao Li couldn't help being fascinated: "Shi Mi was indeed born in a prestigious school."

Shi Jiqing laughed: "Thanks to Director Sheng's appreciation, there are a lot of them in the famous school market. At that time, I was disgraced in a small company and almost resigned. The small company launched a blame game, and he said to my crooked former boss: "Shi Jiqing is not bad, she still has a few years of contract with you, you terminate the contract, I want her, and you will not be held accountable. "

"My ex-boss was taken aback. He thought Mr. Sheng had taken a fancy to my beauty. When he came back, he thought I was mediocre. He came to ask me again. He was slapped and swollen by his old lady. His mother cut corners and cut corners. All the materials are scrapped to make defective products, and the next three ways are worth thinking about.”

"Later, I went to work for Director Sheng."

Gao Li stopped listening: "Is Dong Sheng interested in Shi Mi's ability?"

Sheng Wuyu said: "When connecting with projects, she is responsible for everything, she is the one who answers the phone, she is the one who explains the project, she is the one who makes the PPT, she is the one who takes people to see the factory, it is the one who pours tea and sets the table card, and it is the one who arranges the work meal. She, she was the one who even made the reimbursement, she was the one who talked about the matter clearly, and she apologized when something happened in the end, frankly admitted that something was broken, she was not strict, and said that she was willing to bear the responsibility for breach of contract, and she could use the house as a mortgage. I knew this person could use it."

Xuan Xiaodong still remembers that Shi Jiqing said last time that he wanted to lose weight, so he opened the refrigerator and took out the cactus cake made from the leftover freshly squeezed cactus juice from yesterday: "I picked it yesterday, just for Miss Shi to try, cactus juice with agar The pastry is made without sugar, and you can pour some condensed milk or maple syrup on it.”

Shi Jiqing wowed: "This is good, it is useful for losing weight, and there are many benefits. No sugar is added. After a while, the meal will definitely exceed the standard. Your cooking is so delicious."

She happily took a piece of cactus pastry, looking at it as crystal clear as jelly, she was very satisfied and ate two pieces in succession, and said to Sheng Wuyu, "Bring the relevant forms. If Mr. Sheng is convenient, let's go to the living room. I'll give it to you." Tell me about the changes."

Sheng Wuyu nodded, and the three of them went to the living room to turn on the projection. Shi Jiqing reported it in detail, and Sheng Wuyu nodded: "I can rest assured that you can do things."

Shi Jiqing breathed a sigh of relief: "Because some of them are beyond the standard you said before, but after the evaluation, everyone thinks that they can bear the cost."

Sheng Wuyu said: "The authorization has been given to you, so you can rest assured to be the masters."

Seeing his relaxed expression, Shi Jiqing also relaxed in his heart: "It seems that boss, you are starting to retire early?"

Gao Li's expression was tense, which boss could stand such jokes from his subordinates?This Shi Mi talked too much... In the end, Sheng Wuyu said indifferently: "Retirement life is very good, you keep working hard, so that I can completely ignore it." He looked at the time: "Xiao Gao went to the kitchen to help. "

Gao Li was taken aback, and quickly jumped up and said: "Yes!" He hurried out to the kitchen, saw that Xuan Xiaodong was almost ready, and several cold dishes were already placed on the table, he stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Mr. Xuan, is there anything I can help you with?"

Xuan Xiaodong said: "Sit down, it's almost ready, you just need to arrange the bowls and chopsticks. By the way, there are beer and yogurt in the refrigerator, please take them out. Are you going to drive in a while? Then drink it." Just yogurt, or should I squeeze some watermelon juice for you? There is watermelon in the refrigerator, take it out, wash it, and cut it open.”

Gao Li saw that Xuan Xiaodong was agile, obviously there was nothing he needed to help, but he wondered if the boss had something to say to Shi Jiqing. I got a watermelon to cut.

After cutting for a while, they heard a ding. Xuan Xiaodong walked over to the built-in oven on the wall and opened it. From inside, he took several large packages of food wrapped in tinfoil with tongs, put them on the table, and peeled off the tinfoil. , revealing the long rib honey sauce ribs inside, the color is beautiful, and the taste is so delicious that I can't help but swallow a mouthful of water.

The other package is eggplant barbecue, garlic diced meat is sandwiched in the eggplant, but the eggplant still maintains a beautiful purple color as if the eggplant is poured with oil.

Another package was a whole roasted leg of lamb, sprinkled with cumin and sesame seeds, and three main courses came out.

Gao Li laughed and said, "Your hands and feet are really fast—it's just that Sister Qing should call out later, she's shouting about losing weight every day."

Xuan Xiaodong smiled: "There's still some fat on the steamer, why don't you eat a little bit of fat?" He opened the steamer again, and took out the trembling and bouncing sweet roasted white and a plate of steamed fish. He quickly opened the frying pan, quickly heated the oil with shredded ginger, garlic, pepper, and pepper, poured it on the steamed fish, added two more main dishes, and took out the cooked corn, sweet potatoes and chestnuts from under the steamer.

The pressure cooker was turned on, and there was another pot of light pigeon dendrobium soup. After the soup was filled, garlic lettuce was fried.

It took less than an hour to prepare such a hearty dish.Gao Li admired from the bottom of his heart: "Mr. Xuan is really capable." Xuan Xiaodong said: "It's just done."

When Sheng Wuyu and Shi Jiqing came out, seeing the many dishes, Shi Jiqing sighed: "It's okay, I saved food for a month, just to eat the dishes made by Mr. Xuan, hahaha, it's really amazing." I envy you Mr. Sheng, you live a fairy life every day."

Sheng Wuyu said: "Whether you can really live a fairy life with peace of mind depends on whether you can perform well without me."

Shi Jiqing said: "Don't worry, everyone is full of confidence. This year is almost the end of the year. Everyone is looking at the bonus at the end of the year, and they are all discussing how much bonus they can share at the end of the year."

Sheng Wuyu smiled slightly: "I never treat meritorious ministers badly."

Shi Jiqing cheered: "Great, I just bought a car for my husband, Mr. Sheng, and I'll wait for you to rain and dew."

Xuan Xiaodong smiled and said, "Sister Shi is really a loving couple."

Shi Jiqing smiled sweetly: "Hey, the child was young during this period, and he did his best to share a lot of pressure for me. He has been looking at that car for a long time and is not willing to buy it."

Gao Li finally interjected cautiously: "Your husband doesn't know how lucky he is to meet a wife like you who can deliver a car."

Shi Jiqing smiled and said: "He is my neighbor. I worked overtime that day and came home late at night, and found that the fingerprint lock was not working. I couldn't unlock it by pressing it. I called the one who unlocked the door and the other party couldn't get there because of the traffic jam. I didn't eat that day. At dinner, I was hungry, and my work was not going well. During the day, I was approved by Party A, and the project was almost withdrawn. The more I thought about it, the more sad I became, and when I stood at the door of the apartment, I suddenly collapsed and cried alone."

"He went out to take out the trash, saw me crying, was shocked, asked me what was going on, invited me to sit at his house and wait for the lock to be unlocked, and knew that I hadn't eaten dinner, so he took the dinner he had planned to make for the next day. The dish brought to the company the next day was hot, and I ordered a bowl of noodles—it’s funny to say, the dish that night was a dish of sauerkraut fried sausage. I was so hungry that I ate two large bowls of noodles with that dish .”

Xuan Xiaodong said: "The sauerkraut is really good to eat if it's not too sour, it should be sauerkraut made from fermented rice."

Shi Jiqing said: "Yes, the fat sausage that day was fried very fragrant, the oil was bright and browned, and the sauerkraut was not very sour, it was made at home, and it also had peppers, it was really delicious——with him After getting to know him, I found that he is a person who is very good at living. Although the salary is not high and the family conditions are average, he can live a happy life. I think it must be very worry-free to live with such a person."

Gao Li couldn't help laughing: "There are still other advantages. Otherwise, if you want to cook delicious food, you can hire a nanny who cooks delicious food. Sister Qing, you are a high-paid family, so why do you only value this?"

Shi Jiqing said: "That's different. It is true that you can order dishes that suit your taste from countless best restaurants, but you can get up late at night to heat up dishes for you, and listen to you talk about the troubles or proud things that happened during the day. Is the person who matters more important? Is marriage just a matter of life? As long as you feel that living with this person is enjoyable and your soul is interesting, it is enough. The more money the better, but is it meaningless to have only money? Like I like to do my best In terms of career, but in life, I also hope to live with someone who is interested in life. Young men who have lived a long life say that marriage is like shoes, and only you know if they fit or not.”

Sheng Wuyu glanced at Shi Jiqing in a blink of an eye, and Gao Li smiled and said, "Hey, I think it's because Sister Qing is too busy with work and doesn't have much time to choose. I heard from a colleague in the company that the vice president of JK Company used to pursue you especially Violently, you ended up not even going on a single date."

Shi Jiqing said: "What they value is that I am the secretary of Director Sheng, not me."

Gao Lidao: "Sister Qing is such a rational person, I never thought that she would be so emotionally pure."

Shi Jiqing was a little disdainful: "It is because my sister is rational that I chose the right person. What is love? No one has a uniform standard. At this time, you have to analyze yourself rationally, and you have to seriously consider your personality and emotional needs in order to find love. The right person has a good life. How can an inappropriate person live together? You young people don’t know how difficult it is to live together. All the ugly sides will be displayed in front of him. The other party may be for money Tolerate you, maybe for the sake of the child, but endure for a lifetime? That is difficult to do, and sooner or later you have to vent, if you can’t meet the right person, it’s better to be single for the rest of your life.”

Gao Li said: "Sister Qing, this is considered a complementary marriage."

Shi Jiqing smiled and said: "To some extent, it is. Many people say that love means finding the piece you lack? What does Xiao Gao think?"

Gao Li said: "Well, I think each other achieves and helps each other. This kind of love is better. Let's go together and achieve success together."

Shi Jiqing: "Achieve each other? If you expect too much from your spouse, you will be disappointed by then, right?"

Gao Li said: "I can be disappointed in her, and she can also be disappointed in me. It's fair. If you can't keep up with the other party, it means it's inappropriate." Gao Li is full of confidence.

Shi Jiqing said: "Oh, the marriage is the same as going to work. I feel that there are still KPIs. If you can't reach the goal, you can get divorced at any time? How tired, haha, where is Xiaodong?"

Xuan Xiaodong said: "It's enough for the two of you to get along comfortably."

Gao Li glanced at Sheng Wuyu who had been silent all this time, thinking about what Shi Jiqing was thinking, the topic was so happy that he ignored Director Sheng, and quickly asked Sheng Wuyu with a smile: "What does the chairman think?" He just said the words, but suddenly he regretted greatly, Sheng Dong's body is different from ordinary people, this topic is so sensitive, why did he only think that Sheng Dong was left out in the cold, but he didn't think that this topic should not be brought up in the first place?

Secretary Shi is all to blame, why would he think of this topic... As a newcomer in the workplace, he suddenly suspected that he had offended the chairman, and was uneasy, only worried that Chairman Sheng would be unhappy.

Sheng Wuyu raised his eyes and glanced at Xuan Xiaodong, put down the spoon for drinking soup slowly, and said, "I think, it's because you thought you had a good life alone, but when you meet the right person, you will find that you are with the right person. Live with him, life will become better, it is double interesting. It’s like, originally you are a world by yourself, but you can know the happiness of another world through him, and you have the beauty of two worlds .”

Shi Jiqing opened his eyes wide and applauded wildly: "Dong Sheng is so talented! This is so good! He said everything I wanted to say!"

Gao Li was also very surprised: "Dong Sheng...is very idealistic."

Sheng Wuyu said indifferently: "Otherwise? I have my own world, so naturally only another world can join me." This was said with a bit of arrogance.

Shi Jiqing hehehe took out his mobile phone and opened the notepad to record: "Sheng Dong's golden sentence, I have to record it."

Gao Li was frustrated in his heart, as expected, Shi Mi's level of flattery was higher, and he flattered him so sincerely that he was willing to admit defeat.

Shi Jiqing didn't know that his subordinate was so ambitious and was learning from her how to please Sheng Dong, but continued to ask Xuan Xiaodong: "Xiaodong, how do you make the method of pickling sauerkraut that you just mentioned? Rice brewing? "

Xuan Xiaodong said: "There is a rice winery in the town, and there will be a lot of distiller's grains left over. I will collect some to make sauerkraut. It tastes very good. I also brew some sweet and sour, which tastes very good. It just happens to me. I also just pickled some sauerkraut and capers, and you can bring some back to your husband to taste later."

Shi Jiqing was overjoyed: "That's great, thank you very much! My family will be very happy. Speaking of which, you and him may have a lot to talk about. He is also very good at cooking."

Xuan Xiaodong smiled and said, "You just gave me such an expensive set of knives, it's really too expensive."

Shi Jiqing waved his hand: "Small idea." Xuan Xiaodong looked at Gao Li again: "Assistant Gao also brought some sauerkraut home."

Gao Li smiled and shook his head: "No need, I don't even cook by myself. I work a lot now, and basically eat three meals in the company's cafeteria." He showed that he was working overtime in a low-key way, but Shi Jiqing said carelessly: " The company canteen is really good, the food is delicious and cheap, Director Sheng really has nothing to say to our employees."

Sheng Wuyu smiled and said nothing.

After lunch, Gao Li knew that he would take the initiative to help wash the dishes, so Xuan Xiaodong opened the food cabinet and showed Shi Jiqing the vacuum glass jars neatly stacked on the shelf: "This is sauerkraut, and there are Sun-dried vegetables, and capers, here are vinegar garlic, pickled plums, and here are pickled black beans with vinegar, which are said to be able to lose weight and clear blood vessels.”

Shi Jiqing was shocked, and said in amazement: "How can you do so much! You are really amazing!"

Xuan Xiaodong said: "It's just autumn. I collected a lot of vegetables a few days ago. They were either made into various sauces or marinated for easy storage. It is also good to stock up for cooking. For example, steamed fish with sour plums is delicious, and sour beans are delicious. Roast meat is good, and vinegar black beans are also very effective when used with cold dishes."

Shi Jiqing pointed to a turquoise glass jar and asked, "What kind of sauce is this?"

Xuan Xiaodong said, "This is basil green sauce."

Shi Jiqing said: "This is not bad. It is served with seafood sandwiches for breakfast. It tastes delicious."

Xuan Xiaodong glanced at her apologetically: "I didn't make much of this, I only made one pot, you Sheng Dong likes to eat..."

Shi Jiqing giggled: "Then leave it to Director Sheng, it's rare that Director Sheng has something he likes to eat!"

Sheng Wuyu glanced at her indifferently: "I like to eat everything, I don't think you should bring any of them."

Shi Jiqing hehehe: "Mr. Sheng, today I brought you blue lobster, foie gras and truffles. I remember you like them too. You see, brother Xuan saved them for you today, and didn't cook anything for us. "

Xuan Xiaodong blushed: "No, those ingredients are very expensive at first glance, and they were still alive because they were transported by air. I was afraid that they would be wasted if I didn't make it right in a hurry. I thought I would study it slowly tonight to see how it works. Do."

Sheng Wuyu said: "Don't pay attention to her, I paid the bills, and you don't have to be too particular about the method, just use the method you are familiar with."

Xuan Xiaodong said: "I'm only familiar with garlic crayfish...spicy crayfish..."

Shi Jiqing laughed loudly: "That's right, that's right, just do it! Who stipulated that Blue Lobster can't do this?"

Gao Li really regretted the expensive blue lobster: "It's very good to make baked lobster with cheese. It's the same as baked crab. It tastes very good."

Xuan Xiaodong nodded: "I've checked and said it's delicious, but I just ran out of cheese, so I'll go out and buy some later."

Picked pickled vegetables and put them behind Shi Jiqing and the others’ car, and rolled dried vegetables for them. After sending them away, Xuan Xiaodong went to the supermarket in the town to buy some dry cheese and came back. She checked the recipe on the Internet for a while. There is still a little time, and the things in the field are almost collected, and there is nothing left and right, so we start playing games.

He put on the earphones and turned on the music, and played a game when he started the game. He suddenly felt someone was in the room. He turned around and saw that Sheng Wuyu had arrived in his game room at some point and was looking at the screen to watch him play games. He took off the headphones and smiled, "Is there something wrong?"

Sheng Wuyu shook his head: "It's nothing, I'm a little bored, watching you play games, what kind of game are you?"

Boring and Sheng Wuyu are really at odds with each other, but Xuan Xiaodong still actively clicked on the game interface and introduced him: "This game is called Lonely Island Dawn, and it has been online for many years. I launched it when I was in high school. .Every player has a small island when they go online. Players can build on their own small islands, develop water sources, seek resources, build houses, defend city walls, etc. Players can also build ships, explore nearby, and explore unmanned islands to obtain resources, or forcibly attack the islands of players from the opposite faction to plunder resources.”

"There are two camps in this game, one is called the Day Alliance, the resources of this camp will double during the day, and the other is called the Shadow Alliance, and this camp will double the resources at night... Factions can form a row Yes, team battle against the opposing camp."

Sheng Wuyu quickly understood the gameplay of this game: "That is to say, in this game, you can not only concentrate on building and managing your own island, farming and keeping healthy, but also concentrate on playing the gun battle and siege gameplay of plundering and attacking?"

Xuan Xiaodong smiled: "Yes, so when this game was first launched, it was very popular. At that time, when I went to an Internet cafe, nine of the ten machines played this game. We used to form an alliance with an Internet cafe to attack The opponent's Oshima base is interesting.

Sheng Wuyu said: "Then what if someone else came to steal your island?"

Xuan Xiaodong said: "If the player is not online, the island will display the status of being unable to log in - but now the number of people playing this game has gradually decreased, and there are no new players. They are all old players, and most of them are casual farmers. , Now I rarely have team battles when I go up, mostly I build islands by myself, go fishing, or go to fight one or two monsters on uninhabited islands, just collect some resources, purely sentimental games.”

Sheng Wuyu nodded: "Then what does your island look like? Show me around."

Xuan Xiaodong was a little embarrassed: "It's very ordinary, this game is very well personalized, many players have decorated it very well, some are full of flowers, some are made into an oriental style in this Western-style game, and some It’s built like a castle, but my island is very ordinary, and it’s actually pretty much the same as a small farm now.”

Sheng Wuyu didn't understand. When Xuan Xiaodong cut the angle of view, so that the No.1 perspective during the battle was changed to a third-person perspective, Sheng Wuyu saw a figure with short black hair running on the island. Xiaodong continued to adjust his field of view, and slowly zoomed out, revealing the whole picture of a small farm on the island.

Yellow flowers surround the courtyard, and a vegetable field is opened against the wall. It is a back-shaped courtyard, and a row of warehouses are built behind it.There are fruit trees, flower trees and a small medicine garden on the island.

Sheng Wuyu suddenly understood the meaning of what Xuan Xiaodong said just now, which is actually similar to the small farm now.

Xuan Xiaodong manipulated the camera to look at the whole picture, and then manipulated the characters to enter the door, a spacious kitchen, a tall fish tank with fish inside and vegetables outside the room.

There is also a large game room for entertaining.

The restoration is exactly the same, as if Xuan Xiaodong built the farm in the game.

Sheng Wuyu suddenly felt a slight shock in his heart. No, this game has been played for many years. Xuan Xiaodong started playing when he was in high school—in other words, it was Xuan Xiaodong who built the island farm built in the game. Restored in real life.

Xuan Xiaodong didn't know what Sheng Wuyu was thinking, turned his head and smiled and said: "At that time, I was addicted to games, and the small island farm that I slowly built was quite emotional. Later, I returned from the army and started farming again. Before I knew it, I rebuilt these old houses according to the farms I made in the game before.”

"Actually, I was still a high school student at that time, and I didn't have much money. The various designs of this game, which did not involve the balance of combat power, all needed to be recharged. I didn't have any money, so I built the most ordinary farm. When I came back, I didn’t intend to build it on purpose. After my house was repaired, I bought a computer and came back to play games. I re-logged in the game that I haven’t played for a long time, only to find that it is exactly the same as the farm built in the game before. , you said it was funny."

Sheng Wuyu thought about the young Xuan Xiaodong who had nothing to live with, in the virtual game world, he built the farm in his heart with every plant and tree, brick by brick: "Very good, this is your world."

Xuan Xiaodong smiled and said, "I was too addicted to games back then." He taught Sheng Wuyu to play once, and Sheng Wuyu seemed very interested, and even asked to create a new account, and brought his laptop over. , The two played in the game room. After recharging, Xuan Xiaodong took him to level 10, took him to explore the uninhabited island, taught him how to fight monsters, and gave him experience by brushing monsters.

He enthusiastically led Sheng Wuyu to level up, found equipment and weapons for him, taught him some skill trees, and found the fun of the long-lost game. It wasn't until it was dark that he was startled and remembered that he hadn't cooked yet. The precious blue lobster is still bubbling miserably.

Only then did Xuan Xiaodong play the game unsatisfactorily, and ran to the kitchen to roast the poor blue lobster, turned around and saw Sheng Wuyu was still playing, so he simply brought the baked lobster with cheese to the game room, and the two of them ate together While playing, they played until late at night. It wasn't until Sheng Wuyu rose to level [-] that they packed up and went back to their rooms to sleep.

It was an outrageous day, not even going for a walk, but who could resist the guilty pleasure that gaming brings?Xuan Xiaodong was lying on the bed, still thinking about taking Sheng Wuyu to the underwater coral island tomorrow, it was very beautiful there.

There was a rustling wind outside the window, and the rain started again, beating on the tiles and on the window.It's starting to get colder, and it's winter, and Sheng Wuyu is about to go back to celebrate the New Year, so let's help him level up at that time, so that he can directly open many game maps when he comes back.

Xuan Xiaodong turned over, his thoughts were surging, and he felt that he might not be able to fall asleep for a while, when suddenly what Sheng Wuyu said during the day suddenly popped up: "Originally you formed your own world, but through him you can know another The happiness of the world is the beauty of the two worlds."

"This is your world."

Xuan Xiaodong: ...

Sure enough, if he couldn't fall asleep, he would just think wildly. He closed his eyes and forced himself to fall asleep quickly.

But a thought popped up suddenly: what does Sheng Wuyu's world look like?He is such a good person,

It must be very complete, rich, and vast.
