Zhang Xingzhi never thought that his face would be so useful one day.
"Did Siri go home for the New Year today?"
Unlike her husband Zhong Sheng, Jiang Ya quite likes Liang Sili, and the reason is simple - no one who goes shopping with her is as happy as Liang Sili.
Just by looking at Zhong Yi and his father's dressing style, he knew that the two people's aesthetic tastes were in the same line, and they didn't really think that the clothes she liked were good-looking, at most they were okay.
Zhong Yi shook his head: "Three times during the Lunar New Year."
Zhong Sheng paused with his chopsticks: "Are you alone at home now?"
Zhong Yi: "Well, it's annoying to go back, so it's better to stay alone."
Regarding the situation of Liang Sili's family, they did not hide it from the two elders, and there was no need to hide it.
Zhong Sheng was silent for a while, and said, "Remember to call at night."
"Understood." Zhong Yi responded and gave Zhang Xingzhi a look. Zhang Xingzhi understood, and helped to grab a piece of perch that was farthest away from him.
After all, he is someone who celebrates the New Year with him every year. If Zhong Sheng really doesn't like it, it is impossible for him to allow Zhong Yi to bring him home every year.
Usually, Liang Sili spent New Year's Eve here, and then the two went back to the Liang family's old house to take a look at the first day of the new year. But this year, Zhang Xingzhi was here, and Liang Sili didn't go home on New Year's Eve. The itinerary was pushed to the third year of junior high school, and he had to wait for Zhong Yi to go back together. The resistance was exactly the same as Ji Haochuan's, and he didn't even act.
It's just that Zhang Xingzhi didn't expect that Zhong Yi's parents didn't seem to care who Zhong Yi fell in love with, as long as it fits their basic aesthetics, and it doesn't count as falling prices, anyone can do it.
He doesn't have to worry about gender issues, because Zhong Yi has never brought a girl home.
Without much interrogation, let alone any further tests, the very ordinary family sat together and ate the meal. Naturally, it seemed that the previous ten years were not the years when Liang Sili accompanied Zhong Yi back home, but him.
Zhong Yi himself obviously didn't think this was a matter that needed to be discussed. At first Zhang Xingzhi thought it was strange, but after looking at the way the three of them got along with each other, he understood it.
Just like now.
"Jiang Ya, single product or blend?" Zhong Yi asked loudly while standing in front of his own pour-over coffee counter.
"Five-three-two matching!" Jiang Ya answered quickly on the sofa, leaning against her husband, and she was playing with the Plants vs. Zombies that Amway gave her at Zhong Yi's dinner table.
Zhong Yi continued: "Where is Zhong Sheng, Golden Mandheling?"
"Yes." Zhong Sheng was flipping through a magazine in his hand, wearing rimless glasses on his face, and from time to time had to accept harassment from people around him, "Why can't my husband pass this test?"
Zhong Yi was responding, and Jiang Ya couldn't help questioning: "Your hand punch is not sweet, and it tastes delicious, why don't you let my husband come?"
That's right, the three members of this family call each other by their first names regardless of how long they are. Jiang Ya would not say "your father" to Zhong Sheng, but "my husband".
But Zhong Yi just looked at Zhang Xingzhi and smiled: "I kicked the person who soaked your hands for you, and I must find a way to pay for it to make sense."
Zhang Xingzhi was stunned: "I don't..."
"I
Teach you step by step, don't you teach me how to cook well. "Zhong Yi pulled people over and teased, "And when you were in the group, didn't you secretly take training classes with Liang Sili, thinking I didn't know? "
Zhang Xingzhi immediately shut up, avoiding answering the question directly, and only said that he did not understand the blending ratio of coffee beans.
"I'll tell you the theory, and you can practice it." Zhong Yi said and brought the coffee beans that his parents asked for by name to the two of them.
Sometimes he really can't understand why Zhang Xingzhi and Liang Sili, two people who are not related to each other, seem to have a similar taste. When everyone in the crew is busy, these two people have nothing to do from time to time. You can engage in underground joints, and chat directly face to face, of course not on WeChat.
This made the couple more interested, and boldly guessed whether Zhang Xingzhi chased him down by making coffee by hand.
The question was asked by Jiang Ya, Zhong Sheng didn't speak, but looked at the two silently through the lens, obviously interested.
But Zhong Yi looked at his parents and said, "Why does it have to be him chasing me instead of me seducing him?"
Zhang Xingzhi was stunned because he was choked up by Zhong Yi's "seduction". He really had no taboos and dared to say anything...
But it was his uncles and aunts who choked him up even more, because even if they heard it, they didn't have any special reaction.
The aunt murmured and looked away: "Stingy, don't say anything."
Speaking of this, no one would believe that Jiang Ya is Zhong Yi's mother, and her sister is nothing more than that.
"So, does Teacher Zhang know how to cook?" Zhong Sheng asked seemingly unintentionally.
Zhang Xingzhi watched Zhong Yi help him mix the three kinds of coffee beans in proportion, and replied honestly: "I just know how to do it. It's delicious without Zhong Yi."
Zhong Sheng and Jiang Ya: "..."
The two said in unison: "Impossible, he won't."
How could Zhong Yi know how to cook, he had never been seen in the kitchen at home, and Zhong Sheng did all of the cooking, he would rather wait for half an hour and 40 minutes for takeaway than make a pack of instant noodles by himself.
Zhong Yi didn't bother to argue with them, so he just curled up his lips and said, "I'll cook the New Year's Eve dinner with Zhang Xingzhi tonight, you two should rest."
Jiang Ya didn't believe it at all, but before the two could continue asking, Zhong Yi waved his hand to signal the two to pause, and he was about to start after-school tutoring: "These three kinds of beans are Alida, Keqier and Genesis. Lida is the main one, accounting for 50%, Cocher 30%, and Genesis 20%.
Zhang Xingzhi: "The name of the coffee beans..."
"According to the place of origin." Zhong Yi leaned on the bar, and while introducing, he signaled Zhang Xingzhi to operate step by step, "Ai Li
Da Da is produced in Panama's Alida Estate, one of the most expensive coffee estates in the world. It has a high degree of sweetness. If I like sweetness, I will follow my mother. "
Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and is an artifact that supports offline reading. huanyuanapp.org
Even if others wanted to call their parents by their first names, they would still call their friends behind their backs. At home, only Zhong Yi behaved in the opposite way.
Zhong Yi: "But because Alida's sweetness is too high and the back part is relatively thin, I chose it as the main bean to compete with other beans."
Zhang Xingzhi nodded clearly: "Where is Keqier?"
"Ethiopia, Yirgacheffe Township Kochier Region. This town is called South Ethiopia
One of the best origins of Biya coffee, together with Alida, can make the acidity of the coffee smooth and have a floral fragrance. "Zhong Yi is like an omniscient point-reading machine now, and he can't order anywhere." Genesis is produced in the western valley of Costa Rica. It mainly uses the caramel and citrus aroma inside to enrich the taste of coffee. "
Zhang Xingzhi turned the pouring pot in his hand very intently, and asked, "Are we familiar with Pinning now?"
Zhong Yi nodded: "For the blend, choose the one with the same degree of roasting."
The degree of roasting is similar, which is conducive to stabilizing the direction and extraction of flavor. The most common Blue Mountain flavor is created by complementing and enhancing the three coffee beans of Brazil, Colombia and Mandheling.
Finding the right blend of coffee beans is like being a matchmaker to find a partner for them. If you find the right beans, you have to repeatedly adjust the appropriate ratio.
The current ratio of Zhang Xingzhi's bubbles is the result of his father's countless adjustments in order to chase his mother back then. It is sweet but not greasy, and has a floral and fruity aroma.
Coffee beans are divided into raw and cooked, and blending is also divided according to the beans used. Even the same kind of coffee beans can be blended with multiple degrees of roasting, which can effectively avoid a single flavor.
For Zhong Sheng's golden mandheling, Zhong Yi chose medium-dark roast, medium roast and dark roast, with both acidity and sweetness.
Although his father is not as obsessed with sweet mouth as his mother is, he likes to hear it.
It was Zhang Xingzhi's first time soaking, so he reserved a sip specifically for Zhong Yi to taste it first.
In the end, Zhong Yi didn't know where his confidence came from, so he just brought it to his uncles and aunts, and even asked unreasonably: "Allow a few compliments for the delicious taste, but don't let us know if it's not good."
Jiang Ya looked at her son, who looked very small, and said coquettishly, "Isn't that just a compliment?"
Zhong also couldn't deny it: "That's what it means."
"You're too biased..." Jiang Ya was startled by the coffee she was drinking as soon as she finished speaking, and she subconsciously glanced at her husband.
Zhang Xingzhi heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the astonished expressions of the two elders. He didn't have much talent for cooking, but he seemed to be good at brewing coffee.
However, Zhang Xingzhi felt that it was unscientific in the end, so he finally couldn't help but leaned into Zhong Yi's ear and whispered: "Anti-aging should be anti-oxidation plus anti-glycation. Your parents take in extra sugar every day, why are you not doing it at all?" Look old?"
Regarding this question, Zhong Yi said at his fingertips: "Exercise, green tea, fruit, high-quality protein, dietary fiber, vitamin ace, anyway, in order to eat some sugar every day, I used all means."
Legend has it that the two fell in love when they were young, and their favorite place to go was a dessert shop that didn't match their identities.
Zhang Xingzhi asked Zhong Yi what his parents did.
Zhong Yi: "My mother is a financial analyst, and my father is a financial risk manager."
In short, it's not like a candy lover.
Profession.
It seemed that since Liang Sili was dragged out on the dining table to whip his corpse to sacrifice to heaven, everything went smoothly.
Uncle and aunt love to drink hand pour, he can hand pour, uncle loves to play go, he can play go, aunt loves to take pictures, he can take pictures, it is not such a coincidence to fall asleep and hit the pillow, no wonder Zhong Yi is not worried at all that the elders in the family don’t like him .
Not to mention that he also taught his uncles and aunts the most impossible thing for Zhong Yi to do-cooking.
When Jiang Ya looked at the table of dishes in front of her, her collagen-filled face was full of disbelief. She just dragged Zhong Sheng out to see
It was a movie, but Zhong Yishi did not expect Zhong Yishi to be serious.
Jiang Ya always thought that Zhong Yi did not love to go into the kitchen because she followed her, but in the end, she still inherited her husband's talent, and she looks good.
"It's really not made by Teacher Zhang?" Jiang Ya expressed her doubts about Zhong Yi's culinary skills unabashedly.
Zhang Xingzhi rubbed his nose: "I'm really not as good at cooking as Zhong Yi."
Zhong Sheng raised his glasses and said calmly, "Actually, you don't need to give him face."
Jiang Ya echoed: "That's right, didn't you say that you taught him all the cooking?"
Zhong Yi blinked: "I taught him how to punch."
Jiang Ya and Zhong Sheng: "..."
Although, it seems to make sense.
But just as everyone sat down at the table, the doorbell rang.
Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, but Zhong Yi was the first to react. He pressed Zhang Xingzhi and got up and said, "Maybe it's the cheongsam sent to me by the brand."
Sure enough, the store manager of the main store in Hong Kong drove it to him personally, and opened the door with a series of New Year greetings.
Zhong Yi was a little surprised when he took the beautifully wrapped gift boxes in her hand: "Why do you choose to give it on New Year's Eve, haven't you been home for the New Year?"
The store manager is a slender lady, wearing their signature winter cheongsam style, with a bright smile: "I am a local, last time you said you would not stay in Hong Kong for too long, so send it to me as soon as you finish it." I just wanted to help you deliver it first."
Zhong Yi thought for a while and asked, "Then the clothes I asked you to give to Mr. Ruan are ready?"
The store manager nodded: "It's on my car. It's also a special custom made by Bog and us for the Spring Festival. I plan to send it there later. It's in the same neighborhood and it's close."
Zhong Yi: "?"
Zhong Yi asked in a daze, "Am I in the same neighborhood as Mr. Ruan?"
The store manager was also stunned for a moment, and confirmed: "Are they the two gentlemen you met in our store last time? They were poached by you to act later?"
Zhong Yi: "Yes..."
He also bought things for Ruan Yi and Ji Hang last time, the address is not here, it is a school district room near the high school.
But the store manager said affirmatively: "That's right, the new address that Mr. Ruan left us is in this community. It's just the outermost row of villas. He said that the annual meeting will be held here."
Zhong Yi blinked several times before recovering, put away his things and said goodbye, and before he had taken two steps to digest himself, he was called back by the doorbell ringing again.
When he opened the door again, Zhong Yi subconsciously said, "What else... Yu Jin?"
When Yu Jin saw that the person who opened the door was Zhong Yi, his well-prepared and well-behaved face suddenly became subtle. As soon as he changed what his mother had told him, he wanted to reach out and pull Zhong Yi.
Just as Zhong Yi was about to react, a hot chest was stuck behind his back.
At some point, Zhang Xingzhi, who came behind him, wrapped one hand around the hand that Yu Jin was trying to touch, passed his other hand, and put it directly into Yu Jin's arms. He took the initiative to "pick" the wine box and said, "Thank you uncle for helping us." Auntie, your home should still be waiting for you to come back
Going to eat New Year's Eve dinner, the doors are all open. "
It means that the door of your house is not closed, and you have to think about whether you will be seen by your parents when you want to do anything.
Remind Yu Jin who is with Zhong Yi now, that is the relationship that can be seen.
