Chapter 296: Let's Play a Game
Xia Libing took the pair of chopsticks and tried to do the action of picking up the vegetables, closing his hands as expected.
Nana has praised the pair of chopsticks that Xiang Kun gave her more than once in the group more than once, and she used to pick up vegetables often without clipping them accidentally, especially sometimes when eating out and using pointed chopsticks, even more so. But with the chopsticks that Xiang Kun gave her, she was very handy and held very steadily.
Nana even said that the pair of chopsticks may be one of the culprits for her gaining five pounds in recent months......
And now the pair of chopsticks in Xia Libing's hand, although they are almost completely different from Nana's pair, look much longer, longer than ordinary chopsticks, the back is square, and then gradually change to the front of the circle, compared to the pair of chopsticks that Xiang Kun gave to Nana, the head of this pair of chopsticks is much sharper, but in Xia Libing's hands, it is very flexible, labor-saving, and hand-tight.
In Xia Libing's view, using chopsticks to pick up vegetables and eat is a "one-handed operation, high frequency, and laborious lever movement".
Therefore, from the perspective of simple work, the lighter the material of the chopsticks, the closer the center of gravity is to the fulcrum, which is the best. Of course, there are many other factors to consider when actually using chopsticks.
Although the vast majority of people will use chopsticks, but in fact, everyone uses chopsticks in the same way, when I was a child, parents generally do not pay too much attention to correct, anyway, as long as they can be clamped up, just like writing with a pen, typing with a keyboard, there are also a variety of techniques, so for different people, different hands, different postures, different chopsticks are still different in terms of adaptability - although the same can be eaten with vegetables.
Like Nana's way of holding chopsticks, it is relatively "non-standard", similar to holding a pen, when holding vegetables, the ends of the chopsticks often cross, so the front end can only be closed at most when clamping, two chopsticks are parallel, it is difficult to make the front end completely closed with those pointed chopsticks, and it is often easy to clamp the vegetables unstable, so the chopsticks that Xiang Kun sent her are flat-headed, and she is very easy to use, and the control of length and center of gravity is just right.
The way Xia Libing holds the chopsticks is relatively standard, mainly because the chopsticks above are moving and open, and the tail is kept a little distance regardless of whether it is opened or closed when picking vegetables, so the pointed chopsticks are very easy to use. Pointed chopsticks are not only lighter in weight and easier to use, but also have a closer center of gravity to the fulcrum, making it easier to perform more delicate operations such as picking fish bones.
"How's it going, it's pretty handy, right?" Seeing Xia Libing holding chopsticks and gesturing, Xiang Kun asked with a smile.
Xia Libing glanced up at him and nodded, "Very good." ”
She pondered in her heart: Obviously, when Xiang Kun sends chopsticks to different people, he has the habit of "customizing" them for different people. But judging from the feeling of using this pair of chopsticks in my hand, the degree of "customization" is a bit too high.
The technique of holding chopsticks is suitable for pointed and flat heads, which can be judged as long as you observe carefully, but the pair of chopsticks that Xiang Kun gave her are very suitable for even the length, center of gravity, and thickness, and the action of controlling the clamping and opening and closing is very labor-saving and free, so there is a lot of observation that is required.
At least Xia Libing thinks that if she is to make it, regardless of the difficulty of making chopsticks, the data collection used to using chopsticks alone will require a lot of observation samples and detailed adjustments. It is best to have users to cooperate, through the use of semi-finished products, feedback again and again, and fine-tuning again and again. In this way, it is possible to achieve the current level of fit.
But Xiang Kun didn't do this, when he left Tongshi Town a few days ago, he suddenly said that he wanted to give her chopsticks, and now there is a finished product, judging from the details of this chopstick, it should have just been made. And his performance, obviously very sure that this pair of chopsticks is very perfect, will definitely fit his own way of use, has not received a single feedback from himself, why can he be so sure? Why is he so confident?
Xia Libing took out the chopsticks and only played with them for a while, then took them back into the box, and then put the box in the backpack that Xiang Kun packed clothes for her.
She had some other suspicions, but she would have to wait until she got back to verify them.
"Aren't you going to order a drink?" Xia Libing asked, glancing at the Americano in front of him.
"I just came over after dinner, and my stomach is very full. Xiang Kun replied.
Xia Libing didn't ask him what he wanted to drink, and instead said, "Let's play a game." ”
"Playing games?" Xiang Kun was still thinking about what kind of excuse to use to let Xia Libing put her chopsticks in the bedroom after she went back tonight, as close to her bed as possible, when he suddenly heard such a proposal, he was surprised: "What game to play?"
Xia Libing took out a one-yuan coin from his pocket and said, "Let's play guessing the coin." ”
Xiang Kun naturally saw at a glance that the one-yuan coin lying in the palm of her hand was the one that had established a "super sensory connection" with herself, and was asked by her to go before sending her to the train in Tongshi Town a few days ago.
Guess the coin?
Isn't this a giveaway?
Lao Xia offered to ask for a coin when he was in Tongshi Town, and Xiang Kun knew that she saw that there was something wrong with Nana's "lucky coin", so now this is to verify it directly?
"Okay, how do you guess?" Xiang Kun smiled, "You can't play alone, you have to win or lose a little bit to be interesting." ”
Xia Libing nodded: "Then lose once, please have a meal." ”
“OK。 Xiang Kun smiled secretly in his heart, he didn't mind being found out by Lao Xia that there was a problem with the coin, on the contrary, he was quite expecting Lao Xia to "discover" something from the coin.
So, guess the coin or something, he's not going to release the water.
Lao Xia asked him to guess a few times, and then he was going to invite a few meals—although he didn't like to eat.
Xia Libing held the coin in his hand, turned it behind his back, exchanged it, passed it from his right hand to his left hand, and then passed it back to his right hand from his left hand, and then put his fists in front of him and let him guess.
Xiang Kun did not hesitate or disguise at all, and directly clicked her right fist.
Xia Libing nodded and said very calmly: "I lost." There was no surprise or chagrin, as if she had known the outcome.
After guessing four times in a row, Xiang Kun still guessed the second every time.
But what Xiang Kun was a little funny about was that at the beginning of the third time, Xia Libing secretly replaced the "Super Sensory Connection" coin - stuffed the coin under his thigh and pressed it, and then replaced it with an ordinary coin.
Xia Libing's technique is actually very secretive and fast, but Xiang Kun has a "super sensory connection" with that coin, and he can basically sense its exact location at any time, so he will know it as soon as it is replaced.
Although he can't rely on the "super sensory connection", Xiang Kun can still easily guess which hand the coin is held in with his "strength".
He can switch the infrared thermal imaging visual mode to observe, the thermal imaging is not an X-ray, and he can't directly penetrate to see the situation in the fist, but the blood flow of the fist holding the coin and the fist without the coin is faintly different, so the heat makes a difference, in the case of a preset target, he can instantly find the difference between the two and make a judgment.
So just like guessing the coin of the "supersensory connection", there is no hesitation or mistake.
After a total of five times, Xia Libing stopped playing with Xiang Kun, put away the coins, and said, "I owe you five meals, when are you free to tell me, I will prepare the ingredients, and you will come to my house." ”
Xiang Kun was stunned for a moment, and asked, "That...... Let me ask, do you prepare the ingredients...... Who's going to do that?"
"You. Xia Libing said it very simply, resolutely, and as a matter of course.
"Hey, hey, hey, no......" Xiang Kun pointed at himself, then pointed at Lao Xia, and gestured five fingers: "It's me, I won you, five meals!"
Xia Libing nodded: "Yes, I'll invite you to dinner." I bought the ingredients, please come, you don't want to eat raw, so you can cook and eat, salt, oil, other spices are also available, pots and other kitchen utensils are also available, last time you came to buy it, if you lack anything you can tell me, I will prepare in advance. Of course, you can eat it raw if you want to. ”
Seeing Lao Xia say this seriously and naturally, Xiang Kun cried and laughed: "You are not Lao Xia, are you......?
Xia Libing's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at him with a "surprised" expression: "How did you see it?"
Xiang Kun laughed, Lao Xia is an excellent cold-faced smiler, worthy of being cousins with Yang Laosan, most of the time cold and alienated, but the comic gene in his bones is still the same. However, judging from the monitoring of various sensory information, Lao Xia still has no major fluctuations in his emotions from the beginning to the present, at least from the feedback of physiological heartbeat, breathing, smell, and micro-expressions, which is the same as before.
In comparison, Xia Libing's mood will really change significantly, or when eating.
"Are you...... Xiao Kun, right?" At this time, a lady about forty years old who was diagonally across a table stared at Xiang Kun for a few moments, then suddenly got up and walked over and asked him directly.
Xiang Kun followed the prestige and made a surprised expression, as if he had just seen her, and then turned into surprise: "Ah! cousin, what a coincidence!"
This middle-aged lady is the daughter-in-law of Xiang Kun's father's cousin, that is, his cousin's wife, and she has just entered the café not long ago.
In fact, as soon as her cousin-in-law came in, Xiang Kun had already noticed her, but according to Xiang Kun's judgment, the last time she saw herself was during the Spring Festival last year. Now that he has changed so much, let alone ordinary relatives, even his mother didn't recognize him when she first met him before, and she estimated that her cousin-in-law wouldn't recognize him, so he didn't plan to take the initiative to say hello.
But I didn't expect that my cousin-in-law really recognized it?
"When I was in the second or third year, I went to the table with my aunt, and I heard her say that you are playing 'personalized' now, and you have a bald haircut. As soon as I saw your head, I remembered what my aunt said, and I thought that you should also come back for the New Year, and then the more I looked, the more familiar I felt, I didn't expect it to be you!"
"Yes, I just arrived at Thorn Tong in the afternoon, cousin, are you coming over with your friends for a drink?" Xiang Kun smiled friendly at the three middle-aged ladies at the table where his cousin-in-law came over, and nodded his head as a greeting.
"That's right, a few of our old classmates and sisters came out to talk, what a coincidence! This beautiful young lady is so beautiful, is it ......?" the cousin-in-law looked at Xia Libing again and asked.
Xiang Kun pointed to the backpack that was now at Lao Xia's feet, and said, "This is my friend's sister, who works in Thorn Tong, and my friend asked me to bring something to her when I came back this time." ”
"Oh, my friend's sister, you should take care of it, you should talk, you talk! You shouldn't go back to work until after the ninth year of junior high school, right? Remember to find time to come to my house to play after the next year, you haven't been to my house for a long time, right? You two nephews have been hungry for your red envelopes for a long time!" After the cousin-in-law smiled and said a few words, she went back to her classmate's table, and then handed over a "come on", "I am optimistic about you", and "hey, hey" expressions from time to time.
Xiang Kun looked at his phone a little helplessly, and said to Xia Libing: "It's not too early, I'll send you back." What are you going to do tomorrow night, do you want to go to your third uncle and aunt's house?"
Xia Libing got up with the backpack Xiang Kun brought to her, and replied, "On duty." ”
"Worth a night?" asked Xiang Kun.
"Worth a night. Xia Libing affirmed.
"Okay, then I'll see if I'll send you some supper later tomorrow night?" Xiang Kun said.
"Good. Xia Libing nodded.
The two walked out of the café, and Xiang Kun, who was supposed to send Xia Libing back, glanced at her, said goodbye to her, and then walked directly in the opposite direction.
Xia Libing's expression did not change at all, and after saying goodbye, he still walked towards the community he rented, and did not ask Xiang Kun or show any surprise.
The community where she lives is not far from this café, and it can be reached in about fifteen minutes by foot, so she didn't call a taxi and walked directly with her bag.
After walking for a while, she picked up her mobile phone and saw a message from Xiang Kun on WeChat: "There is someone following you, don't look back, continue to walk home, I'll see what he is going to do." ”
Xia Libing's expression was still very indifferent, and after returning an OK expression, he continued to walk home unhurriedly.
Not far away, the young man who had been playing with his mobile phone in the corner of the café outside the wind, looked up at Xiang Kun's back and disappeared around the corner of the street, so he walked in the direction where Xia Libing left, and at the same time used his mobile phone to send messages to people.
But what he didn't know was that Xiang Kun, who walked around the corner, paused for a while, and after confirming that the man didn't look at this side through the reflection of the glass of the car on the side of the road, he went back around.
As soon as he arrived here, before entering the café, Xiang Kun noticed the man who was playing with his mobile phone while being cold like a quail in the water.
Because he found that the man seemed to be playing with his mobile phone, but in fact, his attention was in the direction of the café. But at that time, he didn't know that this person was coming for Lao Xia, so he didn't pay too much attention to it. But when he and Lao Xia came out, they noticed that this person's sneaky glance was locked on the two of them, and his body was obviously tighter, and he immediately realized that this person was staring at Lao Xia outside the café.
