What is the difference between cooking your own food and cooking with a machine
As an ordinary person who hasn't eaten food cooked by robots for more than 20 years, Mu Le believes that the biggest difference is that his food is not as delicious as that cooked by machines.
The heat and seasoning of the dishes cooked by the machine are extremely precise, and it will never go wrong, and the taste is always the same.
But on this day, when Mu Le tasted the slightly mushy food made by Kong Hean, he suddenly felt... there was a nostalgic taste.
Is this what Kong Hean said, the taste of love
Mu Le's complicated expression made Kong Yu'an feel a little ashamed. He cleared his throat and said to Kong He'an, "Does our family have to use this kind of thing to entertain guests?"
Kong Hean was also a little embarrassed: "Is it not delicious? I think it is quite fragrant."
Peacocks are also omnivorous animals, but their family prefers to eat vegetables. Today Kong Hean made a vegetable pancake and a bowl of sweet vegetable soup.
Because of Mr. Long's excessive pampering, Mu Le almost had all his dietary requests fulfilled and had eaten a lot of meat recently.
I eat vegetables like this occasionally and I think they are delicious.
Mu Le originally came to see a patient, but unexpectedly he didn't bring anything with him and had a meal at the patient's home.
It was made by the patient himself.
However, I didn't bring any gifts at first because I didn't want Kong Hean to feel like he was being visited in the sick.
He is in good spirits now and has recovered well.
The previous painful look was because the orc's body was very different from the original body, and the internal organs were all different. If an uncontrollable change suddenly occurred, the inside of the body would be tangled up.
Kong Hean had experienced this situation before. Most of the time, he would recover automatically after a while.
But it is said that the situation was very dangerous last time. Fortunately, Mu Le remained calm and was sent to the hospital in time.
Although this kind of thing sounds scary, Kong Hean himself didn't take it too seriously.
Mu Le couldn't help with anything else, so Kong Yu'an came to play games with Kong He'an, and Mu Le joined them.
Although holographic games are now popular, more "traditional" optical computer games are still being updated. Kong Yu'an is very familiar with these things and quickly found many particularly interesting games.
Kong Hean felt a little sleepy, so he leaned back on the sofa and took a nap after playing for a while.
Only two children were left playing games.
Mu Le was beaten badly at the beginning, but he soon became proficient and looked like a veteran player even more than Kong Yu'an.
Kong Yu'an was so angry that his head turned bald.
He couldn't beat Mu Le, and he didn't want to find a new game to bully others, so he just focused on one game.
At the beginning, Mu Le fought with him back and forth, but after getting familiar with him, he began to feel bored.
Just when she was bored to a certain extent, a new guest came to Kong Hean's house.
Kong Hean rubbed his eyes and glanced at the computer: "Well. You guys have fun, I'll go entertain the guests."
Mu Le and Kong Yu'an rushed to stand up: "I'll go, I'll go!"
The butler robot has opened the door and let the guest in.
The two children ran to the living room to greet them.
Mu Le saw a pair of dragon horns from afar and thought it was Gu Mingyuan who came to pick her up. But when she looked closely, she found that the person who came was Gu Tianyu.
Her pace slowed down.
Kong Yu'an also slowed down, looking a little uneasy, and whispered, "Brother Tianyu. Why are you here?"
… Why does this kid seem to be more familiar with Gu Tianyu than he is with Gu Mingyuan
Mu Le looked at the person standing at the door expressionlessly.
When Gu Tianyu saw Mu Le's expression, he hissed as if he had a toothache and complained, "Why is this kid becoming more and more like Gu Mingyuan?"
"I'm here to discuss some business with your brother." Gu Tianyu was wearing a suit and casually pulled his tie. "What are you guys doing here?"
He said "several" but his eyes were clearly fixed on Mu Le.
Kong Yu'an realized it belatedly and said "Ah", then turned to look at Mu Le behind him and answered naturally: "My classmates and I came to play with my brother."
Gu Tianyu raised his eyebrows: "Play?"
Kong Yu'an asked cautiously: "...What's wrong?"
"Is it your brother who is playing with you guys?" Gu Tianyu pulled the corner of his mouth, "Go tell your brother, I'll be waiting for him in his study."
Kong Yu'an said "Oh", with an expression of dissatisfaction but not daring to say anything, then turned around and ran away.
… The bad thing about a big house is that it is too tiring to walk.
Mu Le stood in the middle of the living room, looking at the man not far away, and curled his lips: "Do you want to tell me something?"
He kept staring at her and deliberately sent Kong Yu'an away.
Gu Tianyu's mouth was completely flat, and he looked at Mu Le unfriendlyly: "A human being can imitate an orc so well?"
"... Don't talk nonsense." Mu Le glared at him.
Gu Tianyu walked up to Mu Le and looked down at her.
He paused for a few seconds, frowned, raised his hand and casually gestured at Mu Le's head: "Grown taller?"
Mu Le: “… …” Are you a blind dragon
Gu Tianyu obviously didn't care about these details. He laughed contemptuously and said to Mu Le, "How are things with Gu Mingyuan lately?"
Mu Le didn't say anything, but secretly wondered how old he was.
According to her calculations, Gu Mingyuan's age was probably between twenty-seven and twenty-nine years old, but definitely not yet thirty.
This younger brother who has become a school director at such a young age.
Maybe his actual age is even younger than her.
Gu Tianyu: “…”
He always felt that Mu Le looked at him as if he was a younger brother.
I even felt like, "Forget it, just go ahead and make a fuss. You're the younger brother after all."
It’s so similar to Gu Mingyuan’s expression.
The angrier he got, the harder he laughed. He said to Mu Le, "I advise you to think about what to do next."
Mu Le: “?”
"The Capital University's research lab has produced results, and the Exploration Army has also made new discoveries." Gu Tianyu's smile seemed a bit gloating, "When Gu Mingyuan gets busy and doesn't need his company, you will be useless."
Mu Le: “…”
She roughly knew what Gu Tianyu meant.
In the past, the reason why Gu Mingyuan tolerated having a useless and troublesome child at home was simply because he was too lonely. Whether it was a human or anything else, he needed company.
But now it’s different. They have discovered new planets and may even have discovered new creatures - Gu Mingyuan will be very busy and won’t need his company anymore.
Mu Le blinked and asked Gu Tianyu: "Do you have a girlfriend?"
Gu Tianyu was stunned for a moment, not understanding Mu Le's intentions: "What?"
"… Sorry, I didn't ask." Mu Le said to him sincerely and sympathetically.
Gu Tianyu: “…”
Mu Le thought for a moment and added, “I’m sorry for spitting on you last time.”
Although it just made a similar sound, it didn't really vomit.
Gu Tianyu looked at her with a horrified expression as if he saw Gu Mingyuan coming to apologize in person.
"If my actions were offensive or impolite," Mu Le said calmly, his pronunciation much more standard than before, "it was my personal fault. It has nothing to do with Yuan Yuan."
Gu Tianyu was even more surprised: "What are you talking about? That's ridiculous."
She is just a pet. If a pet bites someone, of course the owner is responsible.
This was what Gu Tianyu thought deep in his heart. Even if he didn't say it, he really thought so.
Mu Le didn't know what he was thinking, but he took the initiative to bring this up.
Gu Tianyu looked at her - this human wanted others to treat her as an individual, not just Gu Mingyuan's pet? It was really ridiculous...
He was about to say something else when he heard the sound of a door opening behind him.
Gu Mingyuan walked in and was slightly stunned when he saw him, then he said calmly: "Tianyu."
It can be considered as a greeting.
Then, as if completely ignoring his existence, she walked straight towards Mu Le, held out her hand, and said in a gentle voice, "Go home."
Mu Le grabbed his hand and asked for credit: "Yuanyuan. I learned how to make vegetable pancakes from Kong Hean. Can I make them for you when I get home?"
“… Not good.” Gu Mingyuan frowned and lowered his voice, coaxing, “The kitchen is very dangerous.”
Gu Tianyu: “…”
He suddenly understood why Mu Le asked him "Do you have a girlfriend?"
This is not treating a pet, it's simply treating your little wife - Oh my God!!!
The oldest and strongest dragon of their generation is going to have a wife!
Still a human being!!!
For a moment, Gu Tianyu forgot what he was here for.
It was not until Gu Mingyuan took Mu Le away that Kong Yu'an came down from the second floor angrily and shouted at him: "My brother has been waiting for you for a while, why haven't you come yet!"
Gu Tianyu: “…”
I almost forgot about the important matter.
He hurried up the stairs. When he passed by Kong Yu'an, he heard him say "Huh?" and turned to ask him, "Where's Lele?"
Gu Tianyu: “…”
Oh, Lele. That little human is called Lele.
The name on her ID is Gu Le.
… So I was a member of their family from the beginning
Gu Tianyu felt a little dizzy.
…
Mu Le had a great time at Kong Hean's house, and meeting Gu Tianyu didn't affect her mood at all.
She quickly forgot what had just happened and sat in Gu Mingyuan's car, racking her brains to talk to him about cooking.
"The kitchen is not dangerous." Mu Le said, "Human kitchens are much more dangerous. I used to be able to cook for myself."
Gu Mingyuan paused while choosing a route.
He looked up at Mu Le: "Cooking?"
This word was unfamiliar to him, or perhaps there was no such "fixed collocation" in interstellar language.
Mu Le was completely used to saying it, just like saying "make, rice" in English, and he made up a Chinese interstellar language.
She scratched her head and explained to Gu Mingyuan: "It's just... cooking by yourself."
Gu Mingyuan stared at Mu Le and said slowly: "... Not injured?"
Mu Le hesitated.
How can you not get hurt if you cook for yourself all the time? You will get your shoes wet if you walk by the river too often.
There have been days when I accidentally cut my hand and the cutting board was covered in blood, and I had to worry about my blood staining the vegetables... Being fried in oil was a trivial matter.
Her expression was the best answer.
Gu Mingyuan's expression turned a little unhappy: "Why did you do it when you knew it was dangerous?"
"There's nothing I can do about it." Mu Le said to him, "On the planet where I live, fully automatic food processors are not yet popular. Everyone makes their own food..."
Gu Mingyuan found it a little hard to imagine.
In the history of the orcs, there was indeed a few thousand years when everyone cooked for themselves. But fully automatic food processors have been popular for hundreds of years, and it is difficult for them to imagine life without these convenient machines.
Although now there are many orcs who can cook for themselves.
The safety of kitchen utensils is also increasing day by day. There are even some live and recorded videos of cooking processes on the Internet, which are jokingly called the Renaissance...
… But.
Human skin is so fragile, and our arms are so weak... How can we lift the pot
Gu Mingyuan couldn't imagine that scene, so he asked Mu Le: "Why do you want to do it yourself now?"
Mu Le looked up at him and said, "Kong Hean did it today. Cooking is fun, and it's different when you cook it yourself."
And... I like you.
Because I like you very much, when I see something interesting, I want to learn it and share it with you.
It's not just new dishes learned, but also everything else, new and interesting.
Mu Le didn't say it directly.
But her emotions were hidden in her sparkling eyes, and seemed about to overflow.
While the conversation was going on, the car had already driven automatically to the door of the house.
Mu Le suddenly remembered the last time, in the car.
Gu Mingyuan pressed over, and the feeling of his hot palm caressing her knees...
She suddenly felt very shy. When she saw this environment and thought of that scene, she felt a little uncomfortable sitting still. Before Gu Mingyuan could react, she unbuckled her seat belt and jumped out of the car.
Gu Mingyuan also got out of the car.
He returned home with Mu Le.
The little robot brought perfectly cooled red bean water and gave Mu Le a cup. This was probably set up before Gu Mingyuan left.
Mu Le sat at the dining table in the living room and drank the sugar water obediently.
Gu Mingyuan sat down next to her.
He touched Mu Le's hair, thinking of her sudden enthusiasm, and asked hesitantly: "... Gu Tianyu... Did he say anything to you?"
Gu Mingyuan thought Mu Le was frightened by what Gu Tianyu said.
He never expected that the kid just liked him so much that he could hardly hold back.
Mu Le sat on the chair with his legs curled up and his feet on the chair. His little feet in plush socks moved restlessly.
"… I didn't say anything." She licked her lips, put the sweet soup on the table, turned her head and looked at Gu Mingyuan, "Don't worry, I don't take it to heart."
Gu Mingyuan: “…” That’s what it means.
He sighed softly, suddenly reached out and picked up the little guy.
Mu Le exclaimed and subconsciously held his shoulders.
When he stopped moving, Mu Le was already in his arms.
She knelt on the chair with both knees, and her buttocks sat on his thighs.
Mu Le was a little confused, his head was buzzing, he just felt that his thighs were so hard and hot, this position seemed a bit bad...
Gu Mingyuan touched her head gently and patted her back.
Mu Le: “…”
Gu Mingyuan probably felt that she was bullied by Gu Tianyu.
In fact, she was not bullied at all. But she was reluctant to give up her current state and didn't want to explain...
Sorry, Gu Tianyu, I'll let you take the blame. Anyway, I've already apologized to you today.
Mu Le lay in Gu Mingyuan's arms and thought secretly.
Gu Mingyuan stroked her hair gently and whispered, "I can guess what he said. Lele, do you believe what he said?"
Mu Le shook her head in his arms.
"Everything I do is not for anything else." His fingers stroked Mu Le's cheek, his voice calm, as if stating a well-known objective fact, "... just because you are worth it."
