Chapter 157 Changing the Course of Things
Zhao Yuxi took the kitchen knife, cutting board, yogurt and fruit outside. She cut the mango into pieces in front of Xu Yingze and Mu Zhengguang. At this moment, she suddenly understood why Gu Tingzhou didn't like people watching.
Cut a mango into three parts, two parts of the flesh and one part of the core. Then cut a grid on the flesh, break it apart, and cut the flesh along the skin to get mango cubes. She has done this many times, but only this time, she did it under the gaze of others.
She suddenly realized that this way of cutting fruit did not seem perfect. In this era, the truly perfect way to cut fruit probably did not require doing it yourself.
Zhao Yuxi didn't want others to see her doing it herself, so she made a quick decision and took the food and tools to the rooftop terrace.
A few minutes later, she put mangoes, dragon fruit, watermelon on the plate and squeezed a variety of juices.
Everything was done, and Zhao Yuxi was ready to invite Gu Tingzhou to drink juice with her.
She went back into the house and before she walked into the kitchen she asked, "Can I come in?"
Although the vegetables had not been washed or cut yet, Gu Tingzhou was still in the kitchen, doing some unimportant things.
"Yes. Please come in."
"The juice is ready, you can have a glass too."
"Where's the juice?"
"On the table outside."
The two walked to the table, and Zhao Yuxi asked him, "Can you cool the juice quickly?"
Gu Tingzhou didn't want to do this kind of thing: I can make ice cubes, you can use my ice cubes to cool it down, but cooling down the juice directly is not in line with my identity.
"I'll make an ice tray, and you just put the juice on it." As he said that, Gu Tingzhou made an ice tray and pushed the tray to Zhao Yuxi.
Zhao Yuxi put the cup of juice on the plate: "If it's an ice cup, will it be faster?"
"The ice I make is different from real ice. It's best not to eat it."
"Is there a big difference? Can't just drinking a little bit be okay?" Zhao Yuxi knew the difference between the two, but she didn't think the matter was as serious as Gu Tingzhou said.
Gu Tingzhou didn't want to argue with her, so he made an ice cup and threw it over: "Just drink a little, of course there won't be any problem."
Xu Ying stopped watching: "My element is water, and I can make real ice. Let me do it."
Zhao Yuxi was very happy: "Thank you for your help. I'll get the yogurt and make the fruit salad."
Xu Ying made many hollow ice balls, which looked like a cube from a distance. She let the juice leave the cup, hang in the air, fall, pass through the cube, and return to the cup.
Mu Zhengguang admired her every move: making the water freeze and letting the juice flow slowly. Being able to control the water element must be a very happy thing.
Gu Tingzhou secretly marveled: Freezing water into ice, many people can do this. Making a hollow ice ball with water, not many people can think of this structure. The gel in the gel electrophoresis mentioned in the biology textbook is a tiny porous sphere. Calculating the time, you must have finished all the electives. After the school starts, will you continue to go to school?
He was about to ask, but Zhao Yuxi had already returned, so he quickly gave up the idea of asking questions. There are many things that cannot be done in front of Zhao Yuxi. Although her attitude has improved a lot recently, it can still be vaguely felt that she is different from most people. There is always an inexplicable temperament in her that prevents others from approaching. When doing things in front of her, you must be cautious, otherwise she may laugh at you.
Zhao Yuxi mixed yogurt with chopped dragon fruit and mango, and added some mango juice to make a large bowl of cool fruit soup.
"We are still missing some spoons. Please wait a moment." When Zhao Yuxi returned, she brought four small bowls and four spoons.
Gu Tingzhou guessed that Zhao Yuxi had rarely experienced the complete "cooking" process. Making fruit scoops and sharing them with others was a simple task, but she ran several times for this task. Maybe she had mastered many life skills, but the various skills were not combined together.
It turns out that Zhao Yuxi is also "imperfect", and she also makes some common mistakes. When thinking of this conclusion, Gu Tingzhou shook his head gently, and then he saw Zhao Yuxi cast a strange look at him.
Zhao Yuxi smiled at him and said, "Even if the fruit salad I made doesn't taste very good, you don't have to shake your head."
Gu Tingzhou quickly denied: "No, you are mistaken."
Zhao Yuxi was sure that she was not mistaken. Even if she didn't use the ability of asymptote, she always paid attention to Gu Tingzhou's words and deeds with her peripheral vision. At that moment just now, he did shake his head. However, his shaking head does not mean that the fruit salad tastes bad. Maybe I misunderstood him.
It was getting late, and dusk was approaching. Xu Ying and Mu Zhengguang were busy in the kitchen, and Gu Tingzhu was not in front of her. At this time, Zhao Yuxi suddenly thought: Why did Gu Tingzhu allow the two of them to watch, but not me? Did he have a problem with me? Forget it, don't think about it, he must have a problem with me. He said in the afternoon, "I saw it wrong", but I didn't see it wrong.
Because, when he was with those two people, Gu Tingzhou did not feel any pressure. Xu Ying controlled the running water to wash the vegetables and meat. Mu Zhengguang's cutting movements were not very skillful, but it could be seen that this was definitely not his first or second time cutting vegetables. These two people also mastered some life skills.
Xu Yingze finished her work quickly. She saw that there were extra knives in the kitchen, so she immediately started the next task, cutting vegetables.
Gu Tingzhou thought that Mu Zhengguang would refuse Xu Yingze's help, or at least decline it. But neither of these two things happened. He thought he had discovered a very important secret: Mu Zhengguang and Xu Yingze, Ye Lianshi and Zhang Haochen, had a special kind of "harmony" in them.
When Mu Zhengguang and Xu Yingze finished their work and left the kitchen, Gu Tingzhou stayed there, and what he did was quite lawless.
Fires rose in the kitchen, but the bright flames did not heat up the house.
Energy flows in a specific "direction" and reaches every part of the food. Meat and soup that originally needed to be stewed for an hour only need to be stewed for half an hour to have the same texture and taste.
Zhao Yuxi had cooked a few times. She was very talented in this area and became proficient after just a few attempts. She remembered that some dishes did not look like they could be prepared in half an hour. Could Gu Tingzhou actually change the course of things?
Mu Zhengguang and Xu Ying also saw it. It was not because they were also adept at it, on the contrary, they were not so adept at it, so they were even more amazed at Gu Tingzhou's super high efficiency.
Amid the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Gu Tingzhou proudly said, "My asymptotes can also be used in many ways."
