"Host, this robot can be customized according to your wishes. It is a household service robot that can help you handle all household chores. It serves its employer diligently, just like the butlers in the large families of modern society you once belonged to."
After hearing Tongzi's words, Ning Xiyue became even more satisfied with the robot in front of her and clapped her hands in praise:
"That's great! I need a robot like this. It can keep my space nice and tidy without me having to do anything."
Ning Xiyue picked up the robot's instruction manual. It was a solar-powered robot. When it ran out of power, she just had to remove its solar cell and expose it to the sun for one minute, and it could run for fifty years.
It's a really good robot that saves energy.
But Ning Xiyue thought she would not need this powerful charging function.
Because the energy in this solar cell can last for another hundred years.
She believed she could not outlive the robot butler in front of her.
The robot's switch is in the middle of its forehead. After reading the instruction manual, Ning Xiyue placed the battery in her hand on the back of the robot's head, set the working program, and pressed the switch.
The robot, which was originally a pile of cold metal, seemed to come alive all of a sudden and become a living thing.
"Hello, Master. I am your housekeeper 001. Please give me your orders."
Although the program has been set up, Ning Xiyue still gave the robot a brief explanation again:
"I'll leave this place to you from now on. The most important thing is to go to the piglets in the piggery over there. Make sure you feed them on time, clean them up on time, and just follow the procedures."
"Please rest assured, Master."
"Go to work."
Ning Xiyue waved her hand to let it leave. She had nothing to say. It was the first time she used such a high-tech intelligent robot to help her do things. She didn't know what it would be like. She would only know after using it.
Tongzi then stood up and boasted, "Host, the robots produced by our system all have five-star reviews. They can perfectly serve you and become your best steward."
"I believe you."
Ning Xiyue looked at the robot that was already feeding the pigs and felt very happy.
The best housekeeper is one who never does anything sneaky or dishonest.
She would never again be tied up by a group of pigs.
Thanks to the robot, Ning Xiyue can cross out the tasks of taking care of the space and piglets in her daily schedule and instead focus on knitting scarves and sweaters.
I finished knitting scarves for the whole family in the study.
Dad’s blue scarf, the military green scarf she and Yunmu wear as mother and daughter, the eldest brother’s black scarf, and the second brother’s gray scarf (given away).
Then Ning Xiyue spent another ten points and bought clothing sizes for everyone in the family from Tongzi and knitted sweaters.
The color of each person's sweater corresponds to the color of their scarf.
Ning Xiyue used a knitting needle to finish the beginnings of the five sweaters. She knitted one for a while, then put it down and started knitting another one. She kept knitting until she was tired, then she walked out of the study and out of the space.
She had to clean up the kitchen, soak her feet and lie on the warm kang before she could come back to complete today's study tasks.
When I returned to the house with the foot bath bucket, Chen Yechu was already sitting in the house soaking her feet, but she was not idle even while soaking her feet. She was leaning over the table and writing something with a pen.
"Xiyue, it's a good thing that you're here. Come and take a look at what I wrote about the ingredients and steps needed to make ham. We'll follow it tomorrow. This notebook is for you." Chen Yetu picked up the notebook he was writing on and waved it happily towards Ning Xiyue.
It turned out that he was writing the recipe for making ham. He was so serious. Ning Xiyue was a little touched. Chen Yechu took what she mentioned to heart and did not just do it perfunctorily.
Ning Xiyue put the foot bath bucket in her hand beside the kang, walked to Chen Yechu, took the notebook from her hand and took a look. It was written in great detail, and it was obvious that she was writing it very carefully. Some precautions were specially noted on it with a red ink pen.
Ning Xiyue hugged Chen Yechu and gave her a big hug, expressing her gratitude without reservation: "Yechu, you are so kind. You even worked overtime to write notes for me about making ham, and even used different colored pens to make notes. It's so thoughtful. Thank you."
Chen Yechu felt a little embarrassed by the compliment and smiled shyly: "Don't thank me, you've helped me a lot. I promised to teach you how to make ham, and I will definitely teach you how to make the best ham. Take this notebook, I've already written it, keep it, and we'll start after breakfast tomorrow."
"OK."
Ning Xiyue put away her notes and sat down to soak her feet.
…
The next day, Chen Yechu brought her pig's hind leg, coarse salt, and some of her family's secret seasoning powder to Ning Xiyue's kitchen to teach her how to make ham.
Both of them have meat, so this is easy to handle. Chen Yechu takes one step and Ning Xiyue takes another.
Start by removing the hair and blood stasis and slowly trim the thigh meat.
Chen Yechu spoke very slowly and in detail, stopping after each step to see if the meat in Ning Xiyue's hand was ready.
Do it carefully step by step.
The key to the deliciousness of Chen Yechu’s ham lies in her secret seasoning powder.
Chen Yechu also generously told Ning Xiyue the recipe of the secret seasoning powder, and then poured the secret seasoning powder and coarse salt together and mixed them evenly. Chen Yechu began to teach her the most important step of marinating the meat.
As she rubbed the meat, she said, "Our method of curing is different from other places that salt the meat in batches for dozens of days. It's not that complicated. We can finish it today and hang the meat to dry in the evening. It's just a little laborious. We need to rub it repeatedly to make sure the salt is rubbed into the meat."
After rubbing her arms for the whole morning, Ning Xi shook her sore arms and agreed with Chen Yechu that it was indeed a tiring job.
