According to Xie Zhuo's tour plan, they should climb the mountain in the morning, eat farm food at noon, and have a barbecue in the evening, and then spend a beautiful night in this nature far away from the hustle and bustle, and watch the sunrise the next day, and then go back to their respective places. home, and continue to live a life of bald people who stay up late and work overtime.

Assumptions are beautiful, reality is cruel. Lunch was handled by the owner of the farmhouse, and everyone was very satisfied. At night, when the owner was not there for the barbecue, everyone did it by themselves, and immediately became in a variety of situations: those who couldn’t make fire, those who couldn’t cut vegetables, those who didn’t remember to brush oil, those who didn’t know The meat is undercooked, and the meat is burnt after one operation...

The third time he was swept up in tears by the white smoke floating from Tang Kai's side, an investment manager named Xiang Bo finally couldn't help but complained: "Professor Tang, I remember that you are in biology. Is it the same as your experiments? Why are you always getting burnt over there?"

The kitchen killer, Professor Tang, stared at the black mass that looked like a nuclear reactor, pursed his lips, and said calmly, "There is no necessary connection. Although I have studied biology, I have never learned how to cook them well."

There was a low laugh from behind.

Sun Zinan came over to get the barbecue sauce. He happened to hear his rhetoric. He couldn't help laughing. He took out his mobile phone and took a picture of the oven. Then he put his hand on Tang Kai's shoulder and took him away from the oven. : "Don't spoil things, come with me."

Tang Kai was dragged by him to the other side of the oven, feeling the phone vibrate in his pocket. Sun Zinan sent the photo to his WeChat, rolling up his sleeves and saying, "Post it on a circle of friends, use this photo to collect fifty likes, and I'll give you barbecue."

Xie Zhuo burst into laughter next to him. Tang Kai didn't go away either, staring at Sun Zinan for a long time, and finally discouraged: "Is fifty a bit too much?"

"Haggling?" Sun Zinan curled his lips, "Thirty is fine. But thirty likes can only eat vegetables, you can do it."

He flipped the beef and chicken wings in the roasting pan, and a strange fragrance slowly drifted away with the night wind. The man who was seriously roasting meat was so handsome at this moment that Professor Tang's spine immediately softened.

What is the festival? The essence of human beings is really fragrant.

Half a minute later, a new circle of friends appeared on many people's mobile phone screens.

[Gather fifty likes and announce the secret hidden in the picture below [picture]]

Tang Kai is still a bit appealing. In less than ten minutes, in addition to fifty likes, there are more than twenty comments in this circle of friends.

"Senior brother, what is this? New experimental materials?"

"Practice in the wild [like]"

"Xiao Tang's cooking skills still need practice. [Smiles]"

"Boss! Blink if you're kidnapped! [horrified.jpg]" (this is the doctoral student he brought)

After Tang Kai handed over the results of the collection to Sun Zinan for review, he held his mobile phone and replied earnestly: "Advice from a biologist: Burnt food contains carcinogens, so don't eat it, because it's hard to keep your mouth shut [smile] ]”

Not to mention how Professor Tang's image of Gao Lengwei collapsed overnight, anyway, now he solved the problem of Sun Zinan's exit, successfully pushed Xie Zhuo out of the top position, and became a new little tail behind Sun Zinan, who was fed a lot of food by him. , the first bite of all barbecues is left to him to taste first.

Xie Zhuo bit his handkerchief angrily, but His Majesty only had a beautiful vixen in his eyes, and there was no cure for the big pig's hoof, so he had to go elsewhere for warmth.

Tang Kai looked arrogant and cold, not easy to approach. In fact, it was easy to get along. Sun Zinan was surprised that a meal of barbecue that was not very delicate actually conquered him.

"You usually eat in the cafeteria of your work unit?" he asked Tang Kai, "You can't cook, don't you hire a nanny at home?"

"It's too much trouble. I don't usually have that much free time to go home for dinner." Tang Kai took away half of the mushroom he handed over. "It's enough to have a cafeteria and takeaway."

His life is very simple, except for experiments and classes, and his home is just a place to sleep. Anyway, where do you not live your life by yourself

Sun Zinan sighed and said nothing.

When night fell and the new moon rose, Sun Zinan had only finished baking a lot of ingredients and had time to sit down and eat something. His day was not a day for people. He thought he was waiting comfortably to see the scenery of the lake and the mountains. Three meals a day were prepared and brought to his lips. Who knew that Xie Zhuo was tricked into climbing the mountain in the morning, and he didn't even fall asleep during the noon noise, and at night, he would roast meat for these grandchildren.

Tang Kai was being fed right now, and handed him a can of beer and a large plate of steaming barbecued meat. The setting of the plate looked like the handwriting of obsessive-compulsive disorder—the meat was meat and vegetables, pork, beef, lamb, and chicken. Divide them into categories and stack them in a pyramid shape from large to small.

"It was hard work," he said.

"It's too much to eat," Sun Zinan smiled and toasted him with a beer can, and asked, "How does it taste, are you happy?"

Tang Kai: "Well. Thank you."

"It's good to be satisfied." Sun Zinan said, "I don't know if you are used to this kind of situation or not. If there is any place where the reception is not well received, please take care of it. All Xie Zhuo calls are trusted friends, so don't be restrained."

There were eight people in this party, with different occupations, all of whom Xie Zhuo met at the bar on weekdays. Xie and Sun are considered to be the second generation of wealthy people. The rest are bar singers, painters, motorcyclists, investment managers and government civil servants. They are indeed very novel and lively. But among so many friends, only Sun Zinan's tone was so smooth and natural, as if he was the invisible master of this party. Although Tang Kai knew that Xie Zhuo was the one who made the little iron porcelain, and the two had a good relationship like brothers, he couldn't help but feel a little awkward.

He was about to say something when the table suddenly became lively, and the two had to get out of the atmosphere of whispering and listen to Xie Zhuo, a troublemaker, announcing the new rules of the game.

This game is actually a variant of the King's Game. When eight players play cards, the first one is to compete for the top and the last one is eliminated each time; The two peasants will decide the winner by the method of lottery. In the end, the ultimate winner can make a request to one of the people present, and the other party cannot refuse.

Xie Zhuo added: "You can't ask a married person to divorce, you can't ask an unmarried person to get married immediately, but you can ask him to date you. Come on, friends!"

Sun Zinan was very speechless: "...this is such a bad idea."

After speaking, he turned his head and found that Tang Kai, who was next to him, had rolled up his sleeves and was ready to participate in the competition.

Sun Zinan: "..."

Although Professor Tang lost more than one million Happy Beans during the day, his luck improved in the evening, and he steadily entered the final round. When it was time to fight the landlords, it just so happened that the three players happened to be the girls Tang Kai, Sun Zinan, and Tian Tian met when they went up the mountain.

The girl was a painter named Zhai Xiaoxi. She had average card skills, but she was very lucky, and she was able to draw trump cards almost every time. It seemed that this time was no exception, and she called the landlord without hesitation.

Sun Zinan's cards are very average, there is no big or small king, it seems that the probability of losing is very high. Tang Kai's expressionless geography card, unable to tell whether it's good or bad, just whispered, "Rotten Tomatoes."

His voice was very low, and only Sun Zinan, who was close, could hear him. He glanced down at his card, and suddenly realized what Tang Kai meant.

The first time he and Tang Kai threw Rotten Tomatoes at each other, it was because he and another farmer tricked Tang Kai into tearing down the big king in his hand with a single card, and finally caught him off guard with four threes. What he said about the "Rotten Tomatoes Bureau" is to imply that Sun Zinan has no trump card in his hand, but has a bomb.

Sun Zinan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, thinking that a dignified professor of Tianhai University, a biologist with a super IQ, was not ashamed to actually exchange passwords with his teammates when fighting landlords

This girl, Zhai Xiaoxi, doesn't usually play cards, her thinking is very simple, and at this stage, she is afraid of giving up all her previous achievements, which is the best time to be deceived. Even if Sun Zinan complained silently about Tang Kai, there was a difference between closeness and distance in his heart, and he fought psychologically while playing cards.

Regardless of the outcome of the struggle, the few single cards he played while he was absent-minded were all within Tang Kai's plan, successfully replicating the key aspects of the original game.

"Oh, I can't beat it, I really can't beat it." Zhai Xiaoxi knew that he would definitely lose when Tang Kai threw four 5s. He put the last single card in his hand on the table, stretched his waist, and admitted defeat. , "Professor Tang and Brother Sun are amazing."

Sun Zinan smiled and said, "It's nothing, just hit it a few more times."

Over there, Xie Zhuo shuffled the cards and handed them over: "The final battle - the draw! Success or failure is here! Has anyone made a bet? I bet on Boss Sun to win!"

"I should be good at this kind of luck," Sun Zinan raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Professor Tang, be careful."

Tang Kai said without changing his face: "You too, pay attention to safety."

Others: "..." This conversation is so fucking cold.

Tang Kai was expressionless, while Sun Zinan smiled and said nothing. They were two standard poker faces. No one spoke at the poker table, and watched the battle nervously with bated breath, only to see the two of them quickly drawing and playing cards.

At the end of the two cards in hand, Tang Kai's fingertips accurately hit the three of hearts in Sun Zinan's hand, but when he drew out the cards, he seemed to hesitate and paused slightly.

He suddenly asked, "If I win, will you agree to whatever I ask?"

Sun Zinan didn't expect that he would suddenly ask such a question, and after thinking for a moment, he replied, "As long as it's not an unreasonable request."

"Thank you." Tang Kai drew the card without hesitation, and said, "I won."

Sun Zinan: "..."

Tang Kai casually threw a pair of threes.

He stuffed the remaining eight of spades into Sun Zinan's hands and explained: "A little trick: in this tense situation, if I ask you a seemingly unrelated question, you will answer me without defense. If I choose red Taosan, if you thought you had lost, you would say agree to my reasonable request; if I chose the king, and you knew that you would win, you would answer me 'it's not sure who will win', right?"

This pretense is very high-level, and I don't know how high it is compared to the password.

Sun Zinan was completely convinced.

"The final winner is Professor Tang. Now you can choose someone to make a request." Xie Zhuo still did not forget the cue process at this moment, "May I ask who the professor wants to choose?"

Everyone's eyes were directed at Sun Zinan, and the answer was ready to come out.

Xie Zhuo didn't think it was a big deal to watch the fun, and slammed him: "Take advantage of the opportunity!"

Tang Kai nodded.

"What you said just now counts?" He turned to Sun Zinan.

Sun Zinan knew that he couldn't run, but seeing Tang Kai's confident appearance, he suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart. All their interactions now are based on "blind date", in case Tang Kai's request is to end this relationship...

What's more, the last time he had spoken to that point.

Tang Kai said bluntly: "This request may be a little embarrassing for you, but it is indeed my greatest wish right now."

Sun Zinan felt that the smile on his face was about to stop: "You say it."

Tang Kai said without hesitation, "I want you to cook me a week's meal, okay?"
