Chapter 18
Since 65% of SENSATO's business is overseas-oriented, everyone in the company will have two days off during the Christmas season. The departments facing overseas businesses can have Christmas Eve and Christmas holidays at the same time as foreign countries, while employees facing the domestic market You can choose to take a vacation on the 30th and 31st.
During this period, only two people took their vacations differently from others.
One is the boss, Ou Junkun, although he is usually a workaholic, but during the Christmas season, for about ten days, the employees don't even think about seeing him in the company, but there was one time when he was seen in a large supermarket with another A young man and a middle-aged woman shop together in what appears to be a family.
The other is Teng Yi. The new product development department in charge of Teng Yi is oriented towards domestic and foreign markets, so the staff can only be on duty and take turns in batches, and it is even more difficult for him to leave his job.There is only one thing better than usual during this period of time, that is, there is no need to work overtime.
Teng Yi does not dislike the growing Christmas craze in China. After all, this is an opportunity for young people to get together and relax. Lovers can choose to confess their love and propose marriage on this day, and single people can have fun with their friends.But Christmas in previous years had little to do with him, and it was dispensable—he would neither arrange a Christmas tree at home, nor would he have anyone to confess.The single friends who used to have dinner together are getting married one after another with the passing of time year after year. The friends who can eat together on this day have changed from a round table to a table of mahjong.
However, this year's Christmas has broken the old situation for many years because of Bai Jiacheng's existence.
On Christmas Eve, Teng Yi got off work on time and drove through the streets of the busy city. The street lights were blooming and neon lights were flashing.The more crowded traffic and crowds on the sidewalks frequently added a lot of festive atmosphere.
After a tiring day, he was not in the mood to cook, so he brought back from the pizzeria the pizza that Bai Jiacheng had been clamoring for recently, as well as some squid rolls, chicken wings and other snacks.According to what Ah Cheng promised him before he went to work during the day, he should see the young master borrowing his study to seriously review the exam questions when he returns home, but at the same time, he also reserved some of his own opinions, and his personal credit value is "minus infinite". Bai Jiacheng, he has every reason to believe that this day was either eaten by him or slept by him.
However, the moment he opened the door, he was stunned by the scene in front of him. He took two steps back and looked at the house number. Yes, it was indeed his home.
But what about the living room decorated with a strong western Christmas atmosphere?And where did that glowing Christmas tree in the center of the living room come from!
Bai Jiacheng, who is wearing a red Santa Claus hat, and Banana, who has "grown" a pair of reindeer antlers, are sitting on the floor and playing together.Bojiao's radar received the signal that "Dad" was coming home, and he quickly rolled away from Bai Jiacheng's arms, and happily ran to the entrance with his tail flicking to lure Teng Yi into the house.
And Bai Jiacheng was also very happy - the landlord who took care of the meals is back!You can have dinner!
Then his eyes accurately scanned the pizza delivery box in Teng Yi's hand. He was overjoyed and thought, "So Teng Yi still understands me quite well!" The goods then rushed into the restaurant and put them on the dining table for "unpacking and inspection".
When unpacking the package, I still did not forget to ask Teng Yi for credit: "Is the Christmas tree beautiful? This is the masterpiece of my busy afternoon! Isn't it amazing!" In the past few years in the UK, I have not learned the most important skills However, he always enjoys decorating the Christmas tree year after year. Even after returning to China, because his father and elder brother believe in religion, the family also puts a Christmas tree every Christmas. In the Christmas atmosphere, I sympathized with his lonely, empty and cold single life, so after Teng Yi went out to work, he went out to make arrangements for the Christmas tree.
Teng Yi was originally a little angry at his "non-business" day, even though he was the supervisor of the development department, but with a responsible attitude to the company, he couldn't just wave a pen and say that he would be able to get in when Bai Jiacheng was hired. Instead, he had to be urged to carefully prepare for the entry qualification examination according to the company's recruitment requirements, and finally rely on half a year's technical internship experience in the factory. With double insurance, Bai Jiacheng could occupy a place in the talented SENSATO.But the arching flames were finally extinguished under Bai Jiacheng's bright and beautiful smile.
This feeling is strange and familiar, as if as long as the person in front of him feels pure happiness and satisfaction, then he will also feel satisfied and happy.So, for the first time, he unreservedly praised the fruit of Bai Jiacheng's labor, saying: "The Christmas tree is very beautiful."
Beautiful beyond imagination.
Bai Jiacheng's mouth opened into an "O" shape due to surprise, turned his head to another "person" who witnessed history, and said silently: something big happened, something big happened!Teng Yi actually praised me! ! !
But Banana let out a sigh of relief, raised one of its hind legs and continued scratching its ear.
In the next second, he regained his composure.
He suddenly realized that he should maintain the image of a calm, mature, and stable handsome guy in front of Teng Yi as always, so he just smiled slightly (although it took a lot of concentration to suppress the self who wanted to smile up to the sky) ) reserved his facial nerves, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, I am honored."
Teng Yi clearly saw that he was pretending to be garlic, but seeing that he was pretending so seriously, he didn't intend to expose him, but asked him: "Do you want to reheat the pizza?"
After being reminded by him, Bai Jiacheng finally unpacked the plastic bag and opened the box, but what he got in was fresh shrimp pizza. He looked at Teng Yi with some embarrassment, and said, "Uh... I seem to have forgotten to tell you , I'm allergic to shrimp, this pizza...I probably can't eat it..."
Teng Yi was a little surprised by this and felt very sorry: "I'm sorry, I will pay attention to it in the future."
Seeing his distressed face, Bai Jiacheng smiled and comforted him and said, "It's okay, I don't know what to do, I can eat anything before I go abroad!" After a pause, he asked, "Then what else can I eat now?" ?”
"Squid and chicken wings?"
"It seems that there is not enough food..."
Teng Yi felt a little helpless towards this big eater, and asked again: "Then what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."
Teng Yi is so forthright today, it's really hard to turn down the hospitality, so you don't have to be polite! "Ma Po tofu! Sweet and sour pork ribs! Fish-flavored shredded pork! Candied pumpkin!"
Teng Yi weighed the menu in his mind, and it seemed that the staple food for dinner was to follow this young master to eat rice instead, but there was no tofu and vinegar at home, so he immediately changed into his coat, and told Bai Jiacheng, "Purchase the rice first. Let’s cook, I’ll go to the supermarket downstairs to buy some more vegetables.”
After the tasks on both sides were properly arranged, they began to act separately.Here, because the rice cooker at home is fully intelligent, Bai Jiacheng doesn’t have to worry about it, and cooks the rice right away after washing the rice; on the other side, Banana is taken out by Teng Yi to pick up all the necessary ingredients at the supermarket. Yes, but when he passed the condiment shelf, he thought for a moment, and finally, he took a small bottle of ginger powder and brown sugar out of plan.
For the first time in Ah Cheng's life, the cooked rice came out deliciously as he expected.
At the same time, the dishes he ordered were basically on the table, except for the last one - Mapo Tofu.
Because it was late, the tofu in the small supermarket downstairs was sold out, so Teng Yi had to drive for a quarter of an hour to buy tofu in a larger supermarket.However, these tofu were stolen by the "house thief" Banana when they were put aside for use.
Yes, the scum was licked clean.
When Ah Cheng came back to his senses and caught the suspect, after chewing the pineapple with reindeer antlers, he still smacked his mouth unsatisfied, and then pretended to be cute, sitting on the ground and staring at Ah Cheng.
Bai Jiacheng was about to cry, because Mapo Tofu is left with "Ma Po"... The more I think about it, the more sad I feel, how could this be so! ? "Where are you from Banana? It's a 'bog' at all! You also snatch my tofu, how can you get rid of it? I usually treat you so well, you little heartless! I won't take you to play in the future Already!"
Banana groaned and chirped twice, lying on the ground, staring at him with an aggrieved expression.
The little thief who stole the tofu was made to look pitiful after being said a few words, which instead made Bai Jiacheng look like a bad guy.Bai Jiacheng felt as if he had punched the cotton with his fist against Panjiao, but he couldn't use his strength, feeling very aggrieved.Teng Yi heard the movement outside the kitchen, turned down the heat on the stove, put down the spatula and walked to Bojiao.Seeing that it was her father coming, Bojiao sat up and licked and licked the big hand he stretched out to her like flattery.
Teng Yi held Pinjiao's chin and let him lick it a few times, then patiently said: "Panjiao only eats Uncle Ah Cheng's tofu when he is hungry, right? Dad was busy cooking and didn't take care of it for you just now. Putting dinner away, so it is also my father's responsibility. It is wrong to steal this time, and you must never be a thief in the future."
Bai Jiacheng suddenly became envious of pineapple, because Teng Yi was more gentle and affectionate towards it than he was towards himself.
He was so gentle and amiable that he felt that his heart would melt after hearing these words.
Uh, no!How could there be such a strange idea! !stop!stop!
Teng Yi's attitude is coaxing children, isn't everyone coaxing children like this! !
Seeing Bai Jiacheng standing behind him silently, Teng Yi turned around and said to him: "The IQ of a dog is equivalent to that of a 3-year-old human child. Although they are also smart, they are only limited to this level of intelligence. Whether it is for a 3-year-old Young children are still right. They do wrong things. We should first find out the reasons and motives, and then take corresponding countermeasures. Asking teachers to blame is just to vent their emotions roughly, and it cannot play the role of education and prevention. We can use this method It scares them for a while, but it also intimidates them, and over time, it becomes difficult to be intimate."
"The IQ is actually 3 years old, it's pretty good! Well, I know, don't worry about getting angry next time. But it did eat my tofu, so let him go like this? Are you sure he can understand? What you said just now, you won’t steal it from now on?”
"Necessary punishment will certainly not be less." As Teng Yi said, he took Banana to a metal cage in a corner of the living room, put a bowl of dog food on it, and locked him inside for confinement.
Banana also realized that his father was punishing him, so he lay obediently inside and concentrated on eating its dinner.
Bai Jiacheng squatted outside the cage, and gently said to the pineapple that was eating deliciously, "Little spinach, you should honestly think about it here, this time you figured it out, right? In your family, I am the only As for your father's status, you have to understand even if you don't understand."
Bojiao just felt that Ah Cheng's nagging was annoying, so he used his big nose to push out a few pieces of dog food from the bowl and put them at Bai Jiacheng's feet: "Give you a few pieces, don't bother me."
Bai Jiacheng curled his lips, not understanding what this little walnut-shaped brain was doing, so he had to pick up the fallen dog food and throw it back into its bowl.
Patting his buttocks, he got up from the heated floor and walked into the kitchen. Ah Cheng happened to bump into Teng Yi looking for ingredients in the refrigerator, "Do you still want to eat mapo tofu?"
"I think so, but the tofu was stolen by that pig named Banana, so how can I eat it?" I wouldn't want to drive to a big supermarket again...
Teng Yi said: "We can also make our own tofu." He showed him the glass storage box in his hand, which contained soybeans that had been soaked this morning but had not had time to squeeze the soy milk, "If you must eat tofu tonight .”
Ah Cheng's glutton is at work, "Think about it! But how to do it? Is it complicated?"
Teng Yi closed the refrigerator door and said, "The operation is not difficult, and the principle is actually simple. Junior high school chemistry knowledge is enough."
Soybean protein undergoes thermal denaturation under the action of coagulant, so that soymilk changes from sol state to gel state.Soy milk contains soybean protein. After adding electrolytes such as edible gypsum (CaSO4), the protein will be neutralized due to the charge, and the molecules will lack repulsion, so they will condense into larger particles. After precipitation and dehydration, it will become tofu.
After listening to the principle of his analysis, Bai Jiacheng thought about it for a while and felt that it was really feasible. The more he thought about it, the more eager he was to try it. For a while, he seemed to be back in the chemistry experiment class, and asked Teng Yi to teach him to do the tofu experiment with a smile.
"But you have to think about it, it will take a little time to wait for the tofu to be made, and those dishes that have been cooked will have to be reheated when they are served on the table."
No matter how long he waits, just have fun!
So the two began to work together.Since the beans have been soaked soft, they only need to be peeled, crushed, and finally separated into raw soy milk and okara.Put the two together to boil and heat to make a thick and mellow old soybean milk.At this time, Teng Yi also prepared a suspension of 5% edible gypsum solution, and while continuing to heat the old soy milk over medium heat, he slowly added it, while Bai Jiacheng slowly stirred it in one direction with chopsticks, and after a while, he saw The flocculent precipitate of soybean milk was separated out.Ah Cheng smiled happily from ear to ear while stirring. Seeing his reaction like this, Teng Yi couldn't help but feel a little complacent and satisfied in his heart, and felt more and more that Ah Cheng was cute and childish, like a bewildered schoolboy.
When a large amount of lumpy precipitates are precipitated, turn off the heat and let it stand for a period of time.
After cooling and forming, they filter the sediment with two layers of gauze, and finally knead the tofu cube shape through the gauze, put it in the center of the dinner plate, and press it with a glass filled with cold water through the squeezed gauze. Finally, after cooling for 10 minutes on the balcony, when the gauze was removed, a piece of original tofu came into view.
Although the appearance is not as good-looking as the molded ones sold on the market, however, in terms of raw materials and nutritional content, it is indeed real tofu cubes.
Bai Jiacheng picked the tofu cubes into a porcelain plate filled with cold water, brought them all the way from the balcony into the house to Bojiao's eyes, and said in embarrassment: "Look, this is my new tofu! The tofu I made with your father, why not?" Like? Do you want to eat? Do you want to eat? I won’t give it to you!”
The pineapple could only be watched but not eaten, and anxiously barked at Bai Jiacheng in the cage.
Teng Yi smiled and stood behind him, looking helplessly at the childish Ah Cheng.After a while, he asked playfully, "Can I eat Ah Cheng's tofu?"
"Who's going with whom!" Ah Cheng said boldly, "Of course it's okay!"
Bai Jiacheng obviously didn't hear the "bad" intentions in his words.
Maybe liking someone is a last resort, but as long as you rationally realize that everyone will eventually go on different paths, then it is better to like and care silently.
Or slowly, until one day, when this silent liking fades away, then the one-man show that has been directing and acting by itself can be stopped as soon as it is said, without too many entanglements, and I can retreat completely.
The pain of the past is only healed, he doesn't want to invest too much, and he hates repeating the same mistakes.
The amount of tofu made temporarily was not large, and only a small plate was fried in the end. Due to the influence of equipment conditions, the filter was not as good as those sold in the market, and the taste was not delicate enough. However, the two worked together to complete it. For the first work, Bai Jiacheng ate it very carefully and slowly.Because he promised Teng Yi to give him tofu, Ah Cheng was not greedy this time, but gave most of it to Teng Yi, saying that he is the number one hero and deserves to enjoy the most revolutionary fruits.
Bai Jiacheng has a sweet mouth, and this time he got Teng Yi's smile.
Bai Jiacheng, who was full, was so satisfied that he flew up, afraid that he would fall asleep after drinking, so he toasted Teng Yi across the table with fruit juice instead of wine, and said, "For the first glass, just treat it as my apology. When I first came to your house I have caused you a lot of trouble and made you unhappy, now I am used to it, and I will take the initiative to help you with housework in the future, and I will actively establish a revolutionary friendship with Panjiao."
"This second cup, I want to say that in N City, except for Uncle Mu in our store, you are the closest to me. Now I really want to treat you as a relative, just like Amu, who treats me the most. Alright big brother."
Show your kindness to the landlord whenever you have a chance, in order to get a more comfortable roommate status in the future. This is the golden rule that Bai Jiacheng has summed up in the past few months when he gets along with Teng Yi.Only by being firmly rooted here, holding the thigh of "Shangshu Hubu" tightly and not letting go, can he eat, drink, have fun and enjoy the days of working hard in different places without any worries.
Teng Yi was speechless, and happily drank the juice he offered.
Just when Bai Jiacheng felt that after this historic moment, he would have more freedom in his future life, he heard Teng Yi say: "Since you have accepted me as your elder brother this time, remember, no matter what you do in the future At home or at work, you have to listen to me."
Bai Jiacheng said with a smile: "Why, what if your decision is not necessarily... er, so perfect?"
"My decision may not be perfect, but it must be infinitely more perfect than yours."
Although Bai Jiacheng had complaints in his heart, under the pressure of Teng Yi's dual identities as landlord and future boss, he still swallowed all his rebuttals.
Those who understand current affairs are Junjie, and Bai Jiacheng has always believed that he is that textbook "Junjie".
After dinner, Teng Yi started to get busy making gingerbread men. Brown sugar water was sieved and mixed into the low-gluten flour that had been beaten with eggs, cinnamon and ginger powder.Kneading dough is something Bai Jiacheng dares not try at all, because he hates the sticky texture, but watching Teng Yi knead the dough is very easy.That's right, he can even make steamed buns and steamed stuffed buns by himself, so what is that?After kneading evenly, the dough was put into the refrigerator for 1 hour to cool down.During the one-hour wait, Bai Jiacheng was driven to the study by Teng Yi to study for the entrance exam. At the same time, Teng Yi also sat down at the workbench not far from him, and made gingerbread by himself. A simple molding mold for little people comes.
"What is the operating voltage range of CMOS integrated circuits?"
"What is the PCCP law?"
"The output of the inverting amplifier is -100mV, and the input is +10mV, what is its gain?"
……
As long as Bai Jiacheng was lazily playing with his mobile phone or winking at Pinnacle who was locked up in a cage in the living room, Teng Yi would casually quiz him with a few small questions.Bai Jiacheng didn't know whether he had made money or lost money by messing with Teng Yi. Why did he hire an extra class teacher for himself now... Fortunately, his brain is good and his review skills from the previous few days are still there. Yi can answer 7 of the 6 questions in the random check, which is not a shame.
After the dough was relaxed, Bai Jiacheng learned to flatten the dough under Teng Yi's guidance, and then paired it with the simple small molds that Teng Yi hurriedly made, and the gingerbread figures were carved out one by one.
Bai Jiacheng was in charge of painting the little people with sugar. The one with a wide grin was himself, and the one with glasses and a serious face was Teng Yi. Besides, there were Christmas trees, big boots, and pineapples.
Although he painted Banana into a monkey face with his hand, but even if Banana's little walnut-like brain recognizes that it is his own ugly image, it must refuse to admit it.
After the gingerbread man was baked, Ah Cheng bit off the round head of the gingerbread "Teng Yi" with relish, then slowly ate the arms and legs, and waved it in front of Teng Yi as a provocation. "Haha! Teng Yi was eaten by me!"
Teng Yi looked at him with a smile, picked up an "A Cheng" from the plate, and ate it bit by bit.
