What It’s Like Being a Vampire

In the kitchen, while Xiang Kun handled the ingredients skillfully, he whispered to Tang Baona who wanted to help but didn't know where to start:

"By the way, I made a small wooden sculpture for you as a Christmas present. Because I didn't have enough time, I only made one and put it in the sauce bag over there. You can open the present after we leave, or let Lao Yang saw that I didn't prepare for her, so I would have to be stalked by her all night, and I would have to sign some unequal treaties to escape. When we meet next time, I will make a wood carving to make up for her Christmas Just a gift"

Tang Baona couldn't help laughing: "'Old Yang'...you can try calling her that in front of her later, I really want to see her expression when she hears this name, haha..." Then she said to him I was also interested in the gift, and asked: "What is the small wooden sculpture you carved? Is it an original image, or an anime image?"

"You'll know when you look back." Xiang Kun said.

"Ah!! Why don't you tell me later, just tell me now, I really want to watch it now..."

"Nana, what are you looking at?" Yang Zhen'er's suspicious voice suddenly came from the kitchen door, making Tang Baona almost jump up in fright.

"Ah? Didn't see anything? See how to make the dishes for dinner!"

Yang Zhen'er didn't notice anything strange, Nana's startled behavior in the kitchen was normal, and she said, "I want to take Xiaoping to the room to look at your collections, is that okay?"

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

"Okay." Tang Baona replied, but didn't say anything else. She knew that with Yang Zhen'er watching from the side, it must be fine, and no one would damage her collection.

After getting approval, Yang Zhen'er made a clenched fist gesture to Xiang Kun next to Tang Baona: "Come on! Chef Xiang! My stomach is ready for battle!"

After Yang Zhen'er took his classmates away, Xiang Kun smiled at Tang Baona: "Go and chat with your friends too."

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

"Go ahead, you can't help anyway, so you can take up my space and reduce my efficiency." Xiang Kun laughed.

"What?" Tang Baona glared at him, "How dare you despise me?"

"Go! Go! Go.

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

It was quite difficult to prepare dinner for ten people, even for Xiang Kun now. He has already calculated the entire cooking process in his mind and divided the steps in detail. Tang Baona's stay in the kitchen is a huge variable, which will indeed affect his plan and process. Of course, he knew very well that Tang Baona wouldn't mind if he said that. If other people were here, he would have to use euphemisms.

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

Tang Baona walked out of the kitchen as she spoke, and was shocked to find that the people who were chatting in the living room and balcony were gone.

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

Although her room was quite big, it couldn't fit so many people at once.

As soon as Tang Baona walked over, she heard the voice of Linlin's husband, the art director of the game company Xie Peng with the braids: "This big sword and this stupid hair are all carved out directly? It takes a lot of work. It is a test of patience and skills! When I was in the Academy of Fine Arts, I also played woodcarving with a few brothers, and I know how difficult it is! This maker is a master!"

Then came Yang Zhen'er's voice: "Brother Peng, take a look at this again, how is this carving?"

Tang Baona was behind a group of people, leaning on the shoulders of Wang Han and her own sister, looking between them on tiptoe, and saw Yang Zhen'er pointing at the half-finished wooden saber that Xiang Kun hadn't finished at the beginning, asked Xie Peng.

"What's going on?" Tang Baona asked in a low voice, puzzled.

Tang Baoting held back her laughter and replied in a low voice: "Zhen'er showed her classmates to see your collection, and was attracted by your saber wood carving. During the discussion, Xie Peng and his wife also came to see it. It happened that he had learned a little bit of wood carving before. , and commented on it.”

She knew the origin of these wood carvings, so she knew very well that Yang Zhen'er was going to play tricks again.

In Tang Baona's room, the most conspicuous are the two woodcarvings, one is a finished Saber woodcarving, the other is a semi-finished Saber woodcarving with flaws, and she made a transparent display box and put them on the shelf, which seems to be equally important .

"This...'Evil God 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 the same?" Yang Zhen'er said.

"You mean, he carved it like this on purpose?" Xie Peng observed again and shook his head affirmatively: "Impossible, judging from the works, it can't be at the same level. If you don't look at the works, you can't How do you judge the level of two producers?"

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

Tang Baona, who was watching behind Tang Baoting, immediately understood Yang Zhener's purpose. Xie Peng must have jokingly called her "Yang Lao San" again today.

"Fine! As long as you have a way to prove that the two producers are indeed of the same level, with so many of us watching, you can't play tricks! I don't believe you..." Xie Peng was very suspicious of his own judgment. confident.

But before he finished speaking, Yang Zhen'er said in a flat and quiet tone: "Their creators are the same person."

Xie Peng was taken aback for a moment, then looked at the two wood carvings again, and said in surprise, "The same person? How is that possible!"

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

"I know you too?" Xie Peng frowned and recalled, and murmured: "Our classmates, your relatives, I have met, I know, it seems that there is no one who can do woodcarving, and has this level... ..." Speaking of this, he suddenly froze for a moment, then looked at Yang Zhen'er: "Could it be 'Master Xiang'?"

He still remembered, when a group of friends celebrated Tang Baona's birthday in the box, and then Yang Zhen'er introduced Xiang Kun to them.

First, he introduced Xiang Kun as a cooking genius, bow and arrow genius, and martial arts master, and then asked them to guess Xiang Kun's job, and if they guessed wrong, they would drink. As a result, none of the people guessed his job correctly, and everyone was fined several times.

Could it be that in addition to cooking, bow and arrow, martial arts, and his own programmer work, he can also do wood carving? Oh, by the way, this buddy is also very good at singing, quite contagious.

Yang Zhen'er laughed and said: "BINGO! You guessed it right! Both of these two pieces were made by Chef Xiang! The same person, of course, is at the same level! Lao Xie, I'm not called sister!"

"No, even the same person has different levels at different times..." Xie Peng struggled.

"Then what is the same period? How long?"

"However, it will take a year...in half a year!"

"These two woodcarvings are not more than half a month apart! Quick, call my sister!"

Xie Peng's eyes widened, and he looked at Tang Baona in disbelief for confirmation. The latter could only helplessly shrug his shoulders and express that what Yang Zhen'er said was indeed true.

Xie Peng had no choice but to say: "Unexpectedly, I was deceived by you last time by using Xiang's career as a chef, and this time I fell into it again... People's hearts! Third sister! Third sister! Are you satisfied..."

"Hey, brother Peng is good." Yang Zhen'er said happily.

Xie Peng wasn't annoyed at all, their group of friends had been losing money all the time, and his wife Linlin also laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist.

Wang Han, who was watching the excitement by the door, turned to Chang Bin and said, "Xiang Kun can also do woodcarving?" It should be mentioned, after all, although this is not as good as piano and violin, it can be regarded as artistic talent, which can be regarded as a bonus item.

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

Although Xiang Kun was concentrating on cooking, he knew exactly what happened in Tang Baona's room. He doesn't care much about being known for his woodcarving skills, at most he has a strong learning ability and is more talented in woodcarving.

But after coming out of Tang Baona's room, the topic of conversation among all the people actually focused on Xiang Kun.

Tang Baona and Yang Zhen'er praised how delicious Xiang Kun's dishes were, and Tang Baoting kept seconding, which whetted the appetites of those who had never eaten Xiang Kun's dishes.

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

Then Yang Zhen'er took out his mobile phone again and played the video of Xiang Kun's "be brave" before, showing it to Qin Ping, Chang Bin and Tang Baoting who had never seen it before, and boasted about Xiang Kun's "magic" again. Fan.

If it weren't for Chang Bin who would tell some embarrassing things about them in college from time to time, Xiang Kun's current psychological quality would not be able to stand their flattery.

At 6:11 in the evening, eleven minutes later than planned, Xiang Kun asked Tang Baona and Yang Zhen'er to help serve the food outside.

With the bragging of the Tang family sisters and Yang Zhen'er before, everyone else also had high expectations for Xiang Kun's dishes.

Now seeing the few dishes served at the front end, they are indeed very appetizing, and they all start to gather around the table, ready to eat.

Xiang Kun came out with a dish at the end, and based on the positions of the people who had already been seated, he guessed where the people who hadn't been seated should be. Then when he put down the dish, it seemed that he just wanted to place it more loosely, which was natural He carefully adjusted the positions of several other dishes, so that the dishes he adjusted for specific tastes were placed closer to the corresponding "diners".

When they knew that there were a total of ten people going to eat together tonight, Tang Baona and Yang Zhen'er were a little worried that Xiang Kun would not be able to handle it alone, and wanted to order ready-made dishes directly from the restaurant outside, and only asked Xiang Kun to make one. Two dishes will do.

However, after Xiang Kun did some calculations, he still felt that he could handle a table of dishes by himself now.

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

Apart from himself, Tang Baona and Yang Zhener are naturally the ones he knows best about the tastes of the diners tonight. Four dishes are completely tailored to their tastes; The Raiders degree is already above 50%, and two dishes are adjusted according to their tastes; Chang Bin is his college roommate and old brother, and he occasionally eats together after graduation, although he has never eaten the meals he cooked himself. But there is also a basic judgment on taste. There are two dishes made by recalling his taste; as for Xie Peng, Linlin, Xiaoping, and Wang Han, Xiang Kun doesn't know their tastes well, so he can only follow the opinions of most people in the area. The taste arrangement of the remaining four dishes is more light.

Of course, it doesn't mean that other people can't eat the dishes made for Tang Baona and Yang Zhener's taste. Xiang Kun believed that other people would still find it pretty good when they tasted it, and if the taste happened to be similar to the two of them, the feedback would be even better. He just did calculations before, and felt that such a combination of flavors should be able to maximize everyone's satisfaction.

Everyone was about to sit down and start eating, but Yang Zhener suddenly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, I'll make a video call 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, specially took a close-up of Lao Xia's favorite crispy assistant, and said while shooting: "Hohohohohoho, did you see Lao Xia? You My favorite crispy pork knuckle, made by Chef Xiang, um~~~It smells really good! It must taste pretty good too! Oh, my mouth is watering! Lao Xia, don’t worry, I will Help you get rid of them all!"

Seeing Yang Zhener's frightened look after posting the video, Tang Baoting couldn't help laughing: "Now I know why your cousin didn't accept your video invitation."

Tonight, in addition to Xiang Kun and Gao Yao's Wannian boiled water and Wannian Ice Coke, there are also two men, Chang Bin and Xie Peng, who can drink, and they are all drinkable.

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

Chang Bin and Xie Peng simply accompanied Gao Yao to drink Bing Kuo Luo, became drivers later, and now focused on the dishes.

In fact, the dishes Xiang Kun made didn't look too amazing at first glance, and it could even be said to be too homely.

At a glance, except for fish soup, there is no seafood at all, lobster, crab, prawns, etc. Except for a few rabbit dishes, there are crispy pork knuckles, braised pork ribs, fried chicken in sauce, etc. Vegetables There are only cabbage and eggplant, and even the eggplant is minced meat eggplant.

But these "diners" on the table, Tang Baona and others have long known how delicious Xiang Kun's dishes are, and the others have just been overwhelmed by their anticipation, so they didn't "advanced" because the ingredients were not enough. "And disappointed.

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

While chewing a piece of dry-pot rabbit meat, Chang Bin couldn't help but look back at Xiang Kun: "You are really so good at cooking? If I hadn't seen you cooking just now, I would have doubted whether you I bought it in a restaurant directly outside! I really can’t tell! You boy... you said you want to go back to your hometown to open a farm? I think you don’t want to open a farm, 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 open a restaurant in the future." Then he pointed to another dish: "Try this, your taste is relatively strong, you can eat spicy food, you can try this."

The dining table was filled with admiration soon, and then dishes were added constantly, and everyone wanted to try the taste of each dish. In comparison, Tang Baona, Yang Zhen'er, Tang Baoting and other people who had eaten Xiang Kun's dishes before ate more slowly, and also helped to introduce the taste of the dishes to the people next to them. Amway should also give good things to friends.

"Chef Xiang, I really admire it." The braided Xie Peng held a cup of Coke and respected Xiang Kun: "When we met for the first time, Mr. Yang... Okay, don't stare, don't stare, yes Third sister, third sister, how are you?" Yang Zhen'er, who gave him a threatening look, responded with a smile, then continued to look at Xiang Kun and said, "Third sister called you 'Chef Xiang', I thought it was just a joke It’s only now that I finally understand that the chef is really a chef! Oh, by the way, your wood carving is also very good, I admire it!”

Then several other people at the table also took turns "toasting" Xiang Kun, thanking him for making such a large table of sumptuous food, but what is more unusual is that the three men all use coke, while the six women all use red wine. As for Xiang Kun, of course, drank several glasses of boiled water.

Based on the physical feedback of several people, Xiang Kun updated their taste and preference data in real time, and then pretended to be casual and recommended dishes that were more suitable for them.

Naturally, it's not just about eating at the table, but after eating and drinking almost, they also start to chat frequently.

After Xiang Kun's various sensory abilities have been greatly improved, and he has undergone training for rapid analysis of sensory information, and his brain-related processing capabilities have evolved and strengthened, he is much more comfortable when interacting with and chatting with people than before. Ability to analyze based on observations and then give feedback.

Especially after he learned a little bit of psychological knowledge and skills related to micro-expression, he can apply it more freely.

But after truly mastering and obtaining that brand new cognitive model, Xiang Kun found that he had entered another realm in communicating with people.
