Chapter 10 Life
Liu Xiaoke's bed was not difficult to clean, it was just that she didn't have enough strength. Wang Yi took a quick look and found that it was damaged by an impact. He quickly dismantled it to destroy the evidence, and then helped her move everything out.
"Thank you, I'll treat you to a meal when I have the chance."
Finally, there is room, Liu Xiaoke said happily to Wang Yi.
Obviously, she and Ma Dong are more familiar with each other, and Ma Dong's physique looks like a good-looking ox and horse, but when it came to contacting people, she subconsciously chose Wang Yi because she felt she trusted him more.
"It's just a small favor. We just happened to eat beef bones together today. I wonder how good Ma Dong's cooking skills are."
Wang Yi smiled. In fact, because of his overclocking ability, he mastered many different techniques.
Even though his cooking skills don't have much 'soul' because he didn't put much effort into it, his pure proficiency and skills are really high. Maybe he can't compare to those world-renowned top chefs, but he is definitely better than professional chefs trained in batches.
Let’s first see what Ma Dong’s situation is. If it doesn’t work out, there’s still time for him to save the situation.
But after smelling the spices in the air - star anise, ginger, cloves, peppercorns, and dried chilies - I realized this guy wasn't lying.
After all, Wang Yi didn't tell him in advance that these were things his family had always prepared.
"There are quite a lot of bones. I'll go and give you a hand."
From what we have known so far, although Ma Dong looks a bit fierce, he is still approachable. They are all neighbors, and there is no reason for Wang Yi to let him work hard over there alone.
When Ma Dong saw Wang Yi coming over, he also heard the sound of them moving things, and said sourly:
"Why don't you ask me for help? We've known each other longer."
"Don't you still need your cooking skills?"
Wang Yi started to help. Ma Dong wanted to say something, but when he saw Wang Yi's skillful methods, he stopped.
I didn't realize that this young guy had this skill.
It's rare to find a young person who is self-disciplined in exercising and has cooking skills...
…
Fresh beef bones, combined with natural spices, are full of fragrance.
The portable stove hummed to prevent the grease from congealing.
The three neighbors came directly to Ma Dong's house and started eating around the table.
Ma Dong's room is the largest and most central room on the third floor, but the rent is also the most expensive.
However, in terms of income, Ma Dong is doing quite well. He often gets roles with lines, and he is quite popular because of his distinctive image .
He is the kind of person that no one can tell his name, but people will find him familiar when he walks on the street.
It has exceeded 99% of the vertical drift.
He wasn't bragging when he said he knew the group leader and had resources. Although they were not good resources, he did have a say in many areas.
It is normal to rent a larger room to improve your life.
In this way, the three neighbors, who originally had only a normal relationship, had their first meal together.
"I can't believe it, Brother Ma is quite virtuous."
Liu Xiaoke didn't care much about his image as he bit the beef bone, baring his teeth and giving a thumbs up, but he was good-looking, so even that only made people feel cute.
Although she doesn't eat spicy food, she still enjoys chewing beef bones.
Being praised by Liu Xiaoke, Ma Dong also grinned, then he thought of something and brought out another box of beer.
"Would you like a drink?"
"OK."
The damage of alcohol to Wang Yi's body was completely negligible. He could even drink industrial alcohol, let alone beer.
Zizi~ Open two cans, clink them together and drink them with beef bones.
After eating and drinking together, they became much closer and started chatting about all sorts of things.
Even Liu Xiaoke, who came in later, couldn't eat spicy food very well, so he opened a can and joined in.
The hot beef bone soup was still bubbling, and the spicy taste and beer made Liu Xiaoke's pretty face flushed and she kept hissing.
Although a little beer won't make you drunk, the alcohol will make you talk more.
"Brother, this is all I want to do in my life. Now I just want to work peacefully, find a wife, live with her, have a son and a daughter, that's it~"
Although Ma Dong looked big and strong, he seemed to have a lower alcohol tolerance than Liu Xiaoke. He kept mumbling and burping, then turned to Liu Xiaoke and said:
"Little sister Xiaoke, although I look a bit fierce, I am a man who knows how to live. I have saved up 700,000 or 800,000 yuan. It just doesn't fit the aesthetic taste of little girls like you."
Liu Xiaoke had been approached and confessed to Ma Dong so many times that she could understand what Ma Dong meant. However, she was a bit carefree and had a strong sense of justice. She didn't like to play dumb and said directly.
"Yes, it is indeed not suitable, but I believe that Ma Ge will be able to find a good partner. There are not many men who can cook these days."
Wang Yi, who was standing next to him, saw that Ma Dong was defeated by Liu Xiaoke as soon as he showed his intention, so he held back his smile and just drank.
"Hey, sometimes I really envy you. You can say whatever you want. I have specially inquired about your crew situation. You even confront the director."
Ma Dong was not sad at all because of Liu Xiaoke's words, or he was already prepared for it. Based on his experience, it was obvious that he would never have such a life-and-death love again.
But after saying this, he was silent for a while before continuing.
"But it's hard for you to stay here with your personality. Every circle has its own rules. But, personally, I hope you can keep doing this."
After saying that, Ma Dong raised his glass and took a big gulp. He had been here for ten years, and only he knew the bitterness he had experienced.
After hearing what Ma Dong said, Liu Xiaoke was silent for a moment, holding the can in both hands and turning it subconsciously, and then smiled brightly.
“As far as I can remember, everything about me was arranged by my parents, from my daily meals to my choice of profession. There was almost no difference between when I was eight and eighteen, and I was always very obedient.
“Choosing to come here after graduation was the first time I rejected the choice they made.
"The reason I came here is that I don't want to be manipulated all the time. My parents can't do it, so why should the director?"
After saying that, she also took a big sip. It can be seen that she has considered the consequences of her confrontation with the director, and she must be a little upset today.
It was originally a good neighborhood dinner, but it felt like it was about to turn into a competition of misery...
In the end, Ma Dong fell down drunk first, which made Wang Yi shake his head.
It’s useless to be so big.
Fortunately, Wang Yi was very strong and he easily carried Ma Dong back to the bed, then cleaned up the scene.
Butter solidifies easily, so it is easier to clean it up early. Liu Xiaoke, who was still sober, helped out.
Looking at the discarded cow bones, Wang Yi sighed with some regret.
If he were still in another world, with the concentration of natural magic there and his own ability as a legendary wizard, he could still .
But let’s just forget about the level of magic laziness in this world. It’s a thankless task and one must be fresh enough.
After cleaning up, the two left Ma Dong's room and went back to their respective homes.
"I lost control of myself today. I'm really sorry. I might have drunk too much."
Liu Xiaoke's face was still a little red, and her complexion seemed to be fragile, making her look even more bright and charming.
"It's nothing. It's not good for your health to be suppressed for too long. It's good to vent. But as long as you're still alive, there's nothing you can't overcome, right?"
Wang Yi thought of some of the things he had seen in other worlds. The lower class over there really only had the goal of "staying alive". Once they lost their labor force, it meant death.
"You're right. See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
