Chapter 218 Games and Medicinal Diet
The next day, it was around three in the afternoon.
Huang Xu returned to Longshan Apartment with a bunch of things he just bought.
As a result, when he opened the door, he found that only Sunny was sitting in the living room, playing a game that he had not finished yesterday.
"Why are you at home alone? Where are the two of them?"
"Hara has returned to Japan, and Mari has gone to the company to train for the new album."
Sunny heard Huang Xu's voice, glanced at Huang Xu with the corner of her eyes, and then returned her attention to the TV screen.
Because at this time, the protagonist of the game she was playing, Isaac, was carefully on guard against monsters that suddenly appeared.
Dead Space 3, as a third-person shooting (horror) game, is also the third part of the Dead Space series, and it is its pinnacle work.
With its excellent atmosphere creation and plot, it can bring players the deep fear of outer space. The game content not only includes the exploration of confined spaces, but also adds the exploration of planetary environments with harsh climate and terrain, which can bring different things to players. Experience from previous games.
Sunny has been immersed in this game since she saw it the day before yesterday.
Huang Xu looked at Sunny's attentive look and said nothing more.
He got up early today, and after making a simple breakfast for a few people, he drove to pick up Chen Fangyi and the others and came to the company.
Today is already the third day since the two of them came to South Korea. He also wants to take him to do some serious work, find programmers here and deal with the matter of transplanting the software to China.
After all, the spokesperson has been found and the contract will be signed soon. The software also needs to be transplanted and optimized for the Chinese market.
This matter sounds troublesome, but in fact it is not that troublesome.
After all, the current mobile phone software mainly consists of two camps, Android and IOS.
As for the Symbian system, which still has many users, Huang Xu simply gave up and did not plan to produce software for the Symbian system.
After all, the Saipan system seems to have a lot of users now, but it will disappear in a short period of time and disappear into the vast sea of machines.
Therefore, they only need to create software that is suitable for Android and iOS.
And now that the company already has the software for these two systems, it only needs to be localized and simply adapted to the domestic environment.
It can be said to be very simple.
Therefore, Huang Xu and Chen Fangyi only spent half a day and completed the communication on this matter before noon.
After all, now we only need to communicate a general framework and get to know some people, and the rest can be communicated through the Internet after returning to China.
Therefore, Huang Xu left the company with Chen Fangyi and Chen Fangyi before noon, and then went to a nearby grilled beef sausage shop, allowing the two of them to enjoy the taste of Korean grilled beef intestines.
Then they were sent to the airport and put on the plane back home.
However, after Huang Xu sent the two of them off, he did not return to the company. Instead, he went to the supermarket to make some purchases, and then returned directly to the apartment.
He thought that Goo Hara hadn't been back for a long time, and he wanted to make some good food for her to supplement her nutrition when she came back this time.
She has been traveling in Japan for a while and has lost a lot of weight again, so Huang Xu thought of taking advantage of these two days to make up for her weight.
I didn't expect that she would leave so soon.
Although Huang Xu was a little surprised that the two left so quickly, he understood them quite well.
Goo Hara and the others are still traveling in Japan. Due to their own affairs, it is very rare to be able to come back for a few days this time.
As for Choi Jinri, she is now just over a month away from the release of the group’s second album.
From now on, the members of their group, as well as the company's employees, will be in high speed in the next few months.
Every day will be extremely stressful, and it will last until the end of the singing period before there is time to rest.
Therefore, Huang Xu was not surprised by the two of them leaving.
It's a pity that they can't enjoy the fresh ingredients they bought for the time being.
So Huang Xu first sent a message to Goo Hara, and then he simply processed the fruits and ingredients he bought, put them in the refrigerator by category, and then came to the sofa in the living room and sat next to Sunny.
Looking at the BOSS that was as big as the moon and surrounding the earth on the TV screen, Huang Xu looked at Sunny in surprise.
"Is this BOSS so big?"
"Yeah, it's ridiculously big."
Sunny also sighed a little at this time.
As a senior game nerd, she can be said to have a good understanding of games and is well-informed.
But even so, she was still very curious about a BOSS of this size.
And the most important thing is that this BOSS has such a huge size, so it should be quite difficult to deal with him.
So now, she focused all her attention on the game screen on TV, for fear that she would not be able to beat the opponent.
When Huang Xu saw this situation, he didn't dare to disturb him. He sat quietly next to Sunny and watched her operations.
What the two of them didn't expect was that five minutes later, they would see the BOSS being eliminated by Sunny, with speechless expressions on their faces.
“That’s it???”
"That's it."
Huang Xu listened to Sunny's confused words. Although he was a little speechless in his heart, he still nodded.
He also didn't expect that such a huge BOSS could be so simple and so easy. Sunny defeated it in only five minutes.
But now that it's like this, Huang Xu looked at Sunny who was speechless and even a little irritable and said.
"I remember this game has a two-player mode. How about we try it?"
"Okay!"
Faced with Huang Xu's proposal, Sunny would naturally not object.
Seeing that Sunny had agreed to his idea, Huang Xu went directly to the next room, moved another screen out of it, and started assembling related equipment.
When he and Sunny were decorating this apartment, they had already considered the possibility of playing games online, so they had already made certain preparations.
While Huang Xu was preparing the equipment, sunny got up and started looking for some snacks that he liked in the storage room.
In fact, snacks are the biggest enemies of girl group idols, and they generally won’t eat these things.
After all, it is very easy to gain weight after eating these things, which will make their figures lose shape.
But on weekdays, they only eat relatively monotonous and tasteless food, so they want to eat these snacks even more.
So they are more careful when eating, just eat a little bit to taste it.
There are even many idols from girl groups who revealed on the show that four or five people shared a bag of potato chips.
It's just that Sunny doesn't have this worry now.
After being together with Huang Xu, Sunny's daily exercise volume has increased a lot. Even if she indulges occasionally, it doesn't have much impact.
After putting his favorite snacks on the sofa, Sunny turned to the kitchen, took out some fruits from the refrigerator, washed them, then cut them into a plate and brought them out.
At this time, Huang Xu had also assembled the equipment and was ready to start the game.
So in the next time, Huang Xu and Sunny were half lying on the sofa, eating snacks and playing games, feeling a little happy for a while.
It is true that after the two-player mode is turned on in this game, the scenes and animations that appear are slightly different.
Not only have many new interactive options been added, but the plot of the game is also somewhat different from that of single player.
Therefore, even if I have already played one-sided Sunny, I did not feel bored and had a lot of fun playing with Huang Xu.
It wasn't until Sunny felt a little tired that she put down the game controller and moved her stiff body and sore eyes.
"So tired."
"Then you still play for so long?"
Huang Xu looked at Sunny's tired state, and then complained.
In fact, he wanted to end the game two hours ago, but Sunny was having fun and had no intention of ending it.
That's why the two of them have been playing together until now.
However, Huang Xu just complained, then looked up at the dark night sky outside the window, and then said to sunny:
"It's very late now. Are you hungry?"
"Not hungry."
Sunny took a look and saw that there were only snacks in packaging bags and an empty fruit plate, and she shook her head decisively.
Huang Xu also saw Sunny's slightly bulging belly, so he directly pulled Sunny to stand up.
"Since you're not hungry, let's get up and move around."
"How about we go shopping together?"
"Shopping?"
Sunny was obviously moved by Huang Xu's proposal.
Speaking of which, she hadn't been shopping in Korea for a long time, and she wanted to go shopping with Huang Xu on the streets.
But this idea only existed for a short time before she rejected it.
With her and their group's fame, in Korea, taking a boy shopping would be self-destructive.
No matter what kind of disguise she put on, it was impossible to escape the eyes of the public.
Unless she doesn't communicate with anyone after going out, there is a high probability that she will be recognized.
And most importantly, the major night markets and shopping malls in Seoul are the key screening locations for paparazzi and talent scouts.
Even if she and Huang Xu could hide it from outsiders, they couldn't escape the eyes and cameras of these people.
Unless they go to a park with less traffic and less good lighting, they can reduce the probability of being discovered.
Therefore, after she thought about this clearly, she could only helplessly shake her head and reject Huang Xu's proposal that made her heartbeat.
Huang Xu looked at Sunny's helpless expression and had no choice. This was the disadvantage of Sunny being a celebrity and the price she had to bear.
Unless she stops being an idol, she will always have this concern.
Even if Sunny and her team disbanded a few years later, and Sunny was no longer a popular idol, she would not be able to escape from this.
Even if she loses attention, if someone discovers her relationship with her, or marries her, she will still be on the news in South Korea.
I can only say that at that time, the influence may be lower than it is now, but people will still pay attention.
There is no way, this is the influence of the empress in Korea.
So after Huang Xu thought for a while, he could only rub Sunny's hair with his hands, and then comforted:
"Then wait a few days. When you have a holiday next time, let's go abroad together."
"Well, when I take a break next time, I must take a good stroll."
After listening to Huang Xu's words, sunny nodded, and then asked Huang Xu.
"By the way, where should we go next time? Do you have any plans?"
"Not yet. Do you have somewhere you want to go now?"
"No, as long as there is good food and fun, and no one knows us, it's fine."
"That's it."
Huang Xu scratched his head with a headache, and then quickly thought about the destination for his next trip in his mind.
Although he had not traveled to many places in his past life and this life combined.
But he couldn't stand it. He had experienced the self-media era in his previous life. Through short videos, he had watched many travel vlogs of travel bloggers, and he had traveled to many places in the cloud.
So after thinking for a while, he said to sunny:
"If you go to China at this time, there are many interesting places. For example, it is spring, and many ingredients are fresh. We can go upstream from the Yangtze River's estuary and taste the fresh ingredients in spring. , while enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way.”
"And in this season, in addition to those seasonal ingredients, there are also many kinds of fruits that are ripe, such as lychees, cherries, mulberries, and mangoes, which have just come on the market."
"."
Sunny couldn't help but swallow as she listened to Huang Xu's description of various spring delicacies.
For South Korea, due to its land area, materials here are relatively scarce, and the types of products are also relatively scarce.
So when I heard Huang Xu talk about the various spring delicacies along the Yangtze River, I couldn't help but be a little greedy.
In Korea, due to the influence of Chinese culture, there is actually a saying of eating seasonal ingredients, and various spring ingredients are also highly sought after. In spring, many people also drive to the mountains to find some fresh wild vegetables to eat.
But after counting, there are only a few types.
Now that she heard Huang Xu talk about spring ingredients, there were already twenty or thirty kinds of spring ingredients. Huang Xu hadn't finished talking yet. How could she not yearn for this?
And Huang Xu also said that China's lychees have begun to mature now, which makes Sunny yearn for them even more.
The fruit lychee is not new to South Korea, it can even be said to be famous.
Because the climate here in South Korea does not support the growth of lychees, lychees can only rely on imports.
However, there is a very serious problem with imported lychees, that is, the lychees will ferment and become rotten in a short period of time after being picked.
Therefore, preservation has become an issue that must be considered.
This also means that fresh lychees are a very rare fruit in Korea, and many people have never even seen it.
Even a well-known idol like Sunny has only tasted canned lychees.
As a result, I heard Huang Xu say that now is the ripe season for lychees, so I couldn't bear it anymore, took Huang Xu's hand and asked:
"How many lychees are there? Is it difficult to buy them? After all, there are so many people in China?"
"How? Is it difficult to buy?"
When Huang Xu heard Sunny's question, his expression became a little tense.
Although his hometown does not produce lychees, he has eaten less lychees since he was a child, and he has never felt that lychees were scarce.
After all, when the season comes, fruit shops and street vendors all over the street sell lychees.
And it’s not easy to store. In order to sell out as quickly as possible, merchants basically don’t ask for a very high price, which is basically just a few dollars per pound.
Huang Xu has also seen that the store directly discounted the lychees that had not been sold for two days, and even gave some directly to regular customers.
This shows how popular this thing is in China.
And if Huang Xu remembered correctly, the current planting area of lychees in the world is only more than 10 million acres, and here in China, there are another 7 to 8 million acres of planting area, and the output also accounts for 70% of the world's total. Yield.
Therefore, there is really no shortage of lychees in China.
After listening to Huang Xu's story, Sunny immediately opened her mouth, which was hard for her to accept for a while.
It can be said that it is a very cherished fruit in South Korea, but it is so common in China. I can't accept it for a while.
Huang Xu looked helpless when he saw Sunny's shocked look.
Although Sunny has been to China several times with him, he realizes the hugeness of China better than most Koreans.
But when I hear something new, I am still shocked.
There is a huge gap between this and the education they received since childhood, so Huang Xu patiently waited for her to slowly react.
Sunny also lived up to Huang Xu's expectations. This time it only took her a short time to wake up from the shock.
After all, this is not the first time that this kind of thing has happened, and a certain degree of immunity has been developed.
And as soon as he woke up, he anxiously held Huang Xu's hand.
"Let's take a flight to China at night. I want to taste fresh lychees."
"Ah? You're a little too anxious. We have to wait until your next break before we go. It's not too late for us to go."
"But, were there still lychees at that time?"
"Don't worry!"
Huang Xu gently stroked Sunny's hand and comforted:
"There are many varieties of lychees in China, including early-maturing ones and late-maturing ones. From now on, in the next three or four months, lychees of different origins and varieties will be on the market."
"So long?"
Sunny's face, which had just calmed down, once again showed a surprised expression.
She didn't expect that there would be so many varieties of lychees and that they would be on the market for such a long time.
Therefore, she could only say to Huang Xu with some envy.
"I really envy you, you can actually have so many kinds of lychees to eat."
"Okay, if you really want to eat, we can go there often to taste it."
Seeing Sunny's envious expression, Huang Xu could only say a few words of comfort.
At the same time, he also had some feelings in his heart.
He had always heard that China was a vast land with abundant resources, but he didn't have much impression of it.
But after being treated like this by Sunny today, he really had some feelings. He had never thought that lychee, which is very common in China, could actually make Sunny, a star idol, have such a big reaction.
After all, this thing is too common.
At the same time, he also had deep resentment towards the customs in South Korea. Why do you insist on adjusting such a serious customs policy?
Otherwise, they just need to ask their friends to send some to South Korea.
Even if they have to fly back and forth manually, it won't be a problem, so they don't have to go to China to taste it.
But he just complained.
There is a certain reason why South Korean Customs does this.
They also need to ensure their country's agricultural and sideline products industry and their country's security.
So after Huang Xu complained for a while, he hugged Sunny and continued to explain.
"And after shopping here, you can also go to Dian Province in China. Various delicacies there should have started to be shipped. We can."
Huang Xu has actually always longed for this place in Yunnan Province.
In addition to the climate and natural landscape here, the rest are all kinds of mountain treasures.
Huang Xu has never forgotten the delicacies here since he tasted them once in 2017 in his previous life. Unfortunately, he did not have the chance to return there again, which made him feel very regretful.
Although I later purchased a lot of mushrooms through various online shopping platforms, those I ate were incomparable to those eaten elsewhere.
Of course, it may be that the freshness of the ones he bought online is not as good as elsewhere, or it may be because many of the mushrooms he ate there are poisonous and they dare not sell them online.
In short, mushrooms bought online and eaten locally have completely different tastes.
Especially those slightly poisonous mushrooms, the aroma after cooking is unmatched by other mushrooms.
That's why Huang Xu can't forget it.
After listening to Huang Xu's story, Sunny looked at Huang Xu a little dumbfounded and uncertain.
"Since you know those mushrooms are poisonous, you still want to eat them?"
"You don't understand."
Huang Xu looked at Sunny's shocked look and patiently began to explain.
"Actually, those toxins are not highly toxic, and after high-temperature cooking, they are no longer toxic, and the taste will be extremely delicious."
"But that's too dangerous. How could anyone do this? What if the toxins are not removed completely?"
"Uh"
Hearing this, Huang Xu also rubbed his nose guiltily.
The reality is exactly what Sunny said. Although the government issues warnings every year and publicizes various safety knowledge about edible mushrooms, we see news about people going to the hospital due to mushroom poisoning almost every year.
There are even a lot of news about people dying because of mushrooms.
But I still can't stand the people's pursuit of this kind of mountain treasure.
However, Huang Xu did not tell Sunny about these, but directly held her hand to comfort her.
"Don't worry, if we go to taste it, we must go to those regular restaurants, where it will be handled more professionally, no problem."
"And haven't you heard that the Japanese like pufferfish? It is also a highly poisonous fish. After being processed by professional chefs, not only will the toxins disappear, but the taste will also be extremely delicious."
"Indeed, we tried this when we went to Japan."
After Sunny heard Huang Xu's blowfish example, she understood what China was doing.
But she was still a little worried, so she asked Huang Xu:
"What if the chef didn't clean it and there are still toxins in it?"
"Well, in addition to being famous for mushrooms, their doctors are also excellent at treating food poisoning."
"."
"But don't worry, we definitely wouldn't eat those highly poisonous mushrooms in the past, don't worry."
Huang Xu looked at Sunny's speechless expression and felt a little embarrassed, but then he said.
“And we don’t have to go here, we have other places to choose from.”
"."
"Where else?"
"Um..., how about New Zealand where Mari and the others went to record the show?"
Facing Sunny's inquiry, Huang Xu responded quickly, and then remembered Cui Zhenli, who had just returned yesterday.
It even reminded me of Sunny’s yearning expression when Cui Zhenli was telling the story yesterday.
So I quickly asked tentatively to see if she liked it here.
Sunny pondered for a moment and said to Huang Xu:
“New Zealand is also a good choice, but we’ll talk about where to go during the rest.”
"Okay, let's talk about it then."
Huang Xu followed Sunny's words and said what she meant. He looked at the time and saw that it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Then he pointed at Sunny's slightly bulging belly and asked her:
< br>
"Why don't you go and exercise for a while while it's still early."
"Yeah~~, annoying."
Sunny looked at Huang Xu's finger pointing at her and smashed the pillow next to her.
Then he stood up, ready to go to the next room to exercise and eat.
Although she doesn't like sports, as a professional idol, she still has very high requirements for herself,
If you eat so many snacks today and don't exercise to burn them off, you will definitely gain weight tomorrow.
But when leaving, she said fiercely to Huang Xu.
"You also have to accompany me."
"Understood, but I'm going to stew a cup of soup first."
"Stew?"
"Yes, it's the kind we eat in Yangcheng."
Huang Xu got up and went to the kitchen. He took out the squab he bought at a large price today from the refrigerator and showed it to Sunny.
“Didn’t I buy some medicinal materials for soup when I was in Yangcheng last time?”
"At that time, I thought I would make some soup for you when I had time to replenish your health."
"But I've been busy and didn't have much time, so I didn't do it. When I went to the market in the afternoon, I saw this kind of fresh pigeons, so I bought a few and prepared some soup for you to try."
"It's a pity that Hara and the others are not happy."
Huang Xu explained and operated at the same time. He quickly found a casserole and put the cleaned squab and prepared medicinal materials into the casserole.
After adding the water, Huang Xu did not put the casserole on the gas stove, but directly put it into the steamer and started setting the time.
The method he is using now is actually the water-stew method in Cantonese cuisine.
The soup produced by this method has a clear and mellow taste without destroying the nutrients inside. It is a cooking method often used in Cantonese cuisine.
Sunny watched Huang Xu's operation and kept thinking about something in her mind. After Huang Xu put the casserole into the steamer, she asked Huang Xu uncertainly:
"Is this the medicinal diet you said is good for your health?"
"Yes, this can be considered a type of medicinal diet, and it does have certain benefits for the body."
"How is the effect?"
"Well, I don't know the effect, but it should be good."
