Chapter 185: Holding an umbrella is a gesture of kindness
As soon as he sat down in the cafeteria, Ye Xuan saw Xiao Qian walking towards him with a tray.
As usual, the other party took a lot of desserts. Others ate a little after the meal, but she ate more desserts than the main meal.
He greeted the other party, saying something like "Today's caramel pudding doesn't seem to be caramelized enough", which people around him didn't quite understand.
When people talk about the cafeteria, they usually talk about the main dishes, such as "Why is there only one grilled lamb chop per person?" Very few people will talk about desserts at the beginning.
Apart from the chef's signature dessert, the rest of the desserts are hard to make a splash.
After all, most workers come to the cafeteria at this time just to fill their stomachs and have desserts. Can't they wait until afternoon tea?
Besides, it feels a bit strange to say caramel pudding in addition to braised pork.
Ye Xuan thought this was a good way to start a conversation, as the two of them first became friends because of sweets.
Chatting more about desserts with Xiao Qian, who is also a dessert lover, is also one of his great pleasures in the company.
"Caramel pudding? I was saying that covering the pudding with freshly boiled sugar is different from just adding prepared syrup to the pudding," Xiao Qian took a bite of the egg tart, "I don't like the caramel smell, I just enjoy the feeling of breaking the solidified sugar slices poured on the pudding."
In fact, Xuan was willing to eat both types of caramel puddings, but he mainly enjoyed the taste.
The crunchy texture of the solidified sugar is indeed nice, but the caramel aroma that permeates the smooth pudding is also great.
At this point, he probably couldn't reach a consensus with the other party.
So he turned his attention to the main dish on the plate.
He had already tasted all the dishes in the meal while the other party was expressing his views and eating the appetizers.
Braised pork with bamboo shoots goes well with rice. The salty sauce wraps around the bamboo shoots that appear to be stewed until they are soft, but if you chew them carefully, you will find that the tough fibers actually retain the chewy feeling.
As for the meat, it was naturally evenly fat and lean. Except that the quantity was not particularly large, everything was good and very tasty.
There is also vegetarian food. He ordered a portion of stir-fried cabbage. This dish is not prepared in advance, but needs to be fried on the spot. You don’t have many opportunities to eat it, so it is worth cherishing.
Stir-frying dishes quickly over high heat is different from the usual method and requires control over the heat and technique. He was standing at the window at that time and saw that the fire was rising into the pot.
He doesn't have a big appetite, so one meat, one vegetable and one grid of rice are enough for him. After all, he basically just lies down at work all day, so he doesn't exert much physical energy.
If you need to consume energy, you have to do it in the game, so you can replenish it by eating food in the game.
In fact, "Dream Travel" does not have any special "physical strength" settings, it's just too realistic. You will feel tired after running for a long time, and you will feel hungry if you are too tired. This is all normal.
Anyway, this is also a reflection of the authenticity of the game, and holographic games do value this.
"How are your preparations for that variety show going?" Xiao Qian saw the other party mention this in the circle of friends before, but there has been no follow-up until now.
She was a little curious. She also watched variety shows. That TV station had produced many programs with super high ratings, some of which had even been filmed for ten seasons and showed no signs of ending.
When she thought that her friend might appear in her electronic pickled mustard, she had an urge to tell everyone she knew in the second and third dimensions.
This must be called up to friends and let everyone go to see it!
Although it was done through video instead of in person, it was still worth watching!
If, she meant if, the variety show itself didn’t really interest her, she would still watch it more to support him!
"Today's dessert is on me," Ye Xuan, who was still trying to decide what to say, looked at the tiramisu placed in front of him, feeling a little overwhelmed. He only heard the other party say, "Just consider it an advance gift!"
"Isn't this something you picked up from the company cafeteria? So you're just giving me a gift to show your appreciation?" He didn't really want the other party to spend money, he just thought it was worth complaining about.
He had never seen such a casual "gift".
He was naturally a little touched by Xiao Qian's kindness, but this was too impulsive.
He was still thinking about how to make the video effect cool when the other party interrupted him with a cake.
The other party waved his hand: "The gift is not big, but the thought is big. Besides, you don't have to make a special trip. Let me tell you, today's tiramisu is really good. I just saw that it's less than five yuan. Wait until you finish eating and get it. It's definitely sold out!"
Ye Xuan looked like he didn't believe it. It just so happened that they could see the dessert refrigerator from where they were sitting, so he took a look at it at the time when he finished his meal.
There really isn't a single piece left!
Well, he had to admit that Xiao Qian's "sense of smell" for desserts was indeed better than his.
"When that variety show approached me, I was reluctant to go," he said, raising his voice a little in the cafeteria filled with Youmeng employees, "but then I thought, this is a good opportunity to promote Youmeng and our company, we can't waste it!"
"So you decided to join?" The people at the same table also supported him. "You are really selfless for the public! I admire you! I admire you!"
Suddenly, there was a small round of applause. The person involved felt that this seemed to be too much, but it was difficult to stop the crowd from making a fuss.
The atmosphere has been set to this point. If I don’t say a few more words, wouldn’t it be a bit awkward to end?
So he boasted about how good the propaganda department's video was, using plain and simple language that made people believe it.
It’s a pity that the project is still confidential at present, and other people who are not related to the project will not be able to see it before the program is officially broadcast.
Everyone said they would definitely go to watch the show to show their support, and some even took advantage of the chaos to ask for autographs.
"Please sign more. Next year, I won't have to put money in the red envelope when I go back for the New Year. Just the autograph of the No. 1 real NPC will be enough to make my nieces and nephews who love playing games happy!" Someone said with a smile and actually took out a pen and paper.
"Everyone, everyone, this is a cafeteria, can you please respect the occasion?" Someone said this deliberately, but was actually just watching the fun.
Ye Xuan quickly ate the last bit of cake and signed a few papers quickly.
By the time he was signing for lottery draws, he had already practiced making a signature that was fairly presentable, and it wasn't a very valuable signature anyway, so he just signed.
"Now, you have really become a big star." Xiao Qian teased, "Oh, what if one day you no longer look down on this 'small temple' of our company? Will you step into the entertainment industry from then on?"
Of course Ye Xuan wouldn't, he didn't even want to answer such a boring question.
…
The consultant received an unexpected visitor and the calmness on his face was almost breaking.
Help, help, help, the big boss is attacking!
He felt in his pocket and found nothing.
By the way, he gave the life-saving “flare” to Xiao Ou last time. Now he doesn’t have any props with him, and he doesn’t know if he can survive.
The lady was dangerous enough on normal days, but today she looked even more formidable.
"Is there anything you need?" He tried his best to keep his voice steady. It took all his strength to not let it shake.
The sense of oppression is so strong. It's not the kind of oppressive feeling from Alph element that people on the forum talk about, but the natural feeling of a person's temperament and aura from the inside out.
He felt like he couldn't hold on any longer. It was really amazing to be able to do this in the game.
He had never come into contact with such a person in real life. The person he wanted to avoid the most was his high school dean.
Obviously, he didn't do anything wrong, but he simply didn't want to get too close. That aura was enough to intimidate some bad but timid students.
"Need it?" Xiao Ou's mother walked to the consultation desk and looked down at the person sitting behind the desk. "I need you to explain to me what kind of magic potion you gave Xiao Bao and his friends."
Where does this useless Omega, who doesn't even have glands, get such ability?
She was curious, very curious.
Xiaobao is not a "good child" in the traditional sense. As a mother, she is naturally aware of this. However, before meeting this "teacher", he had never done anything so disobedient.
When Ye Xuan heard this, he became a little restless.
No, I didn’t do anything, right?
A magic potion? Then he needs a pot to cook it.
Does he look like he has any conditions to make this kind of soup for them?
This character is just a front desk consultant who receives a fixed salary. He doesn't get much salary and doesn't have any connections.
Those three people are in much better conditions than him, what can he possibly come up with?
As for the engagement, he didn't say that with his help, the problem could be solved 100%.
He just came to lend a hand, and so far he has only brought three childhood friends together, and there have been no other substantial results.
Is this really worth launching a riot to punish him?
Moreover, it is such a serious crime?
As for his influence on Xiao Ou, it is undeniable that it is real and significant.
No matter what, at least you are the other party's recognized "life mentor". If it is useless, there is no need for this role to exist.
As a real-life NPC, it is of course impossible for me to play an insignificant marginal role. I must be the most eye-catching one besides the main player!
He was very confident in himself, but he still looked a little weak under the other person's scrutiny.
No, what are you trying to do by staring at him like that?
He didn't think this was a good sign.
"You want to ruin Xiaobao's marriage? Who sent you? Or, what do you want?" The lady thought about it and realized that this might be a trap set up by a competitor, and her poor and gullible little son fell into it.
The consultant quickly denied it: "No, no, no, I just wanted to help him. I volunteered and didn't plan to get paid for it. Do you believe that there are people in this world who have been caught in the rain and simply want to hold an umbrella for passersby who are destined to meet you?"
