293. Diary

Sometimes Brother Zhang also thinks about what it would be like if he was nothing, but he can only rely on conjecture on this question, because of his uniqueness, he can't find an isotope in the current multiverse, and other people, whether it's Ying Smash, Mouse, Jin Mei, or Zhang Yao, they can all find corresponding isotopes in other universes, the high martial arts world has the living methods of the high martial arts world, and the low martial arts world has the days of the low martial arts world.

In the world of pure materialism, Zhang Yao is a pediatrician, almost thirty years old and unmarried, the family is very anxious, urging her to go on a blind date every day, and she became a best-selling author because she wrote a book about her more than 100 blind dates.

The mouse is still a police uncle over there, and he is considered to have inherited his father's business, jumped from the police to the criminal police, and later became an anti-drug policeman, and died at the age of twenty-five. Yingsmash opened a lo-mei shop, and the main product is washed particularly clean pig intestines.

Jin Mei is a rich daughter, rich, beautiful, and capable, surrounded by countless men every day, eager to stage the plot of "The Domineering Female President Falls in Love with Me" over and over again, but her vision is extremely high, and no one has been able to enter her eyes so far.

Pi Ye is not a vixen, just an ordinary female high school student, who does not have a long lifespan and will be trapped by love because of the handsome boys in the same class, and often has awkward quarrels with his family, turning over and over in one sentence, saying "You don't know me at all".

And the more normal is Xu Wei, her isotope is a simple and happy person, her parents are not divorced, and she is not left alone in her grandmother's house, she has a very ordinary life, both parents are complete, educated, not poor or rich, went to a not very famous university, found a job that is not high-paying to do two days off, has a boyfriend who is not handsome or ugly, and is planning to get married.

Brother Xiao Zhang likes to watch their lives, because this is a life that he can't experience, and he has tried countless times before, but because of his own functions and personality, he is destined to be unable to become the crooked mouth dragon king he likes to see, so he can only imagine what kind of state he should be through other people's lives.

There are three modes for him to enter other worlds, one is the normal mode, that is, the ontology directly enters, just like a time travel, he can interact with anything in it, there is no difference from here, no one knows him, and he can also say that he doesn't know anyone. The second is the observer mode, where his consciousness enters another world, and then he can't interact with anything, he can only observe the movements and developments in it, and the other is the intervener mode, where the consciousness enters and can control everything, and it feels like playing a simulation game, the sims.

So they all think that Brother Zhang's daily life will be boring, but in fact, this is not right, he doesn't know how colorful his daily life is. He didn't have the ability to climb Mount Everest, drifted solo across the Indian Ocean, survived in the wild in the Amazon forest, and stumbled with mercenaries in the tunnels of Damascus. He never said that his life was boring, and everyone thought that he was pitiful but it was just his own groundless conjecture.

He is not pitiful, how can he be pitiful, the real pity is those who can only eat bowls and face the people when they get home from work after 996 and 007, those who can only experience poetry and distance through a short video of a certain sound and a certain hand, and those who carry a 120-pound refrigerator to the sixth floor in 40-degree weather for three meals and for their families.

But he never explains, because there is a mountain in people's hearts, and they are separated by a mountain when they look at each other, and everyone stubbornly hopes that the other party will live as he imagined, and the slightest difference will cause some anger, and explanation is the most powerless and useless appeal, and sometimes silence is the best explanation.

On weekdays in Chang'an Lane, there is no idle old man and old lady, this place is calm and frightening, young people go to work, go to school, although autumn has arrived, it is still cool and early. At noon, there is a wind, blowing and swaying back and forth with the shade of the trees that cover the sky and the sun, the cicadas are singing non-stop, and the impetuous song sings that the autumn wind is far away.

The small restaurant ushered in the first season, and the owner of Chang'an Lane sat on a chair at the door, looking at the machines that were still being built not far away, and fell asleep.

Although there is no need to sleep, at such a time, if you don't sleep, it will be a little delayed in this beautiful afternoon.

Xu Wei and Rhubarb were fiddling with the jukebox behind them, this was their favorite toy during this time, and they could share their music preferences for a dollar without carefully speculating whether others liked or disliked, and the melodious acoustic guitar sound came from inside, with a youthful feeling that was both incompatible and gratuitous to this drooping old alley.

The old people of Chang'an Lane happily shared their trips in the group, because of the weather, the original first stop changed from England to Greece, the style of the Aegean Sea allows these old romantics to enjoy the joy and chic that they have not tasted for a long time, the sun, the beach and seafood stewed regardless of age, the withering in everyone's heart.

"Brother, you said that they were all former mages and swordsmen, why can they still live like ordinary people here?"

Xu Wei moved a stool to the door, and rhubarb climbed down her clothes to her shoulder, with a quick dried fish in her mouth.

"Because when an ideal is put into reality, everyone has to accept its triviality. Everyone has dreamed of wandering the world, but the question is whether you can bear the triviality in the middle of the wandering. Food, drink, Lazar, food, clothing, shelter and transportation, all the problems will not be carried out according to your imagination when you set off, they will either spit out one by one or will pour out one by one, those travelers will only tell you how beautiful the scenery is along the way, but few will tell you how tired you are on the way. ”

Brother Xiao Zhang picked up the teapot next to him and took a sip, his eyes looked ahead in a daze: "So only those who have wandered the world know how happy it is to have a home." ”

After speaking, he reached out and touched the rhubarb: "That's right." ”

"Don't suffer Lao Tzu." Rhubarb turned his head sideways, and then jumped on Xu Wei's lap and climbed down: "Whoever loves to wander will go, Lao Tzu will not go." ”

And at this time, the moon god Xiao Hei came over crying, and Brother Xiao Zhang looked at her a few times: "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Hei picked up his phone and pointed to the pictures shared by the old men and old ladies above: "I miss home......"

"What do you want, your family sold you!" Big Rhubarb scolded with a slap on his face: "You white-skinned pigs, you don't have a single good thing." ”

Xiao Hei cried even harder......

"Don't be angry with her." Xu Wei snorted the rhubarb: "It has nothing to do with her." ”

"Phew, what do you think she could be? Back then, Baipi's plan was to destroy all ancient civilizations, which was one of the main forces. If it weren't for the fact that it's a bit awesome here, it's no different from India now! You have to know that these whiteskins have wiped out six civilization systems! ”

Brother Xiao Zhang shook his head with a smile, but he didn't say anything, because it is understandable that Rhubarb has anger, after all, as one of the civilized wanderers who were killed, the hatred in his stomach is really endless, if you want to say who hates the white-skinned pig the most, to be honest, the people in this place are not ranked in the top three, it has to be Egypt, India, Babylon, India, these places, the plan of extinction and extinction has been completed, and now the local culture of this place basically has to rely on the dock to make up for it, to say that it is sad.

So Rhubarb went up and planned to directly destroy the scarab beetle, and its attitude towards Xiao Hei is so bad, in fact, this is the truth, and now who would have thought that the purest Egyptian civilization would actually take root in the East, and the little jackal reaper is now giving a big brother in his twenties as a daughter.

In the evening, the small restaurant is finally a little lively, but soon it is deserted, after dinner, there are a few regulars left here to chat and drink, and a few foreign tourists will also stay for a while, and the original excitement is flown to the Aegean Sea with the old guys.

Zhang Yao didn't show up during this time, I heard that she was studying in retreat every year, and most of the others had their own affairs, but at twelve o'clock, there were only Xu Wei, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Hei left in the room.

"Let's have a late-night snack."

Brother Zhang sorted out the rest of the ingredients for the day and made a pot of Mediterranean assorted paella, seafood and vegetable salad, a meat skewer called Sufulaki, and fried cuttlefish rings.

Xiao Hei looked at the dishes on the table in disbelief, and then just took a bite and burst into tears, and Xu Wei glanced at Brother Xiao Zhang with a smile, just because Xiao Hei said homesick at noon, he made a table of delicious food that only belongs there, I am afraid that no one can resist such gentleness.

"Brother, have you ever wanted to experience another kind of life?"

While eating, Xu Wei asked Brother Zhang curiously: "Go and try a different life." ”

Brother Zhang shook his head, picked up a bottle of Mediterranean-style whole wheat dark beer and handed it to Xiao Hei, then put a slice of cheese on top of the seafood fried rice and melted it with a spray gun, and then he smiled: "It's enough to enjoy your own life, I've tried it before, but I feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable." ”

"I actually want to see you pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger." Xu Wei giggled with laughter, but after she took a bite of the salad, she covered her mouth in surprise: "This! It's delicious, isn't it? How to do it, teach me teach me! ”

Brother Xiao Zhang took two bites of salad with a tong, then nodded and said: "Salad, in fact, there is no special means, that is, lobster meat, crab roe, crab claw meat, shrimp, etc., I just added tuna and garlic crisp, so that the taste will be richer and the fragrance will be stronger." If you like, add a little lime juice after adding white wine vinegar and the flavor will be very complex. By the way, you can also add a little fresh basil leaves. Food doesn't have to be prepared in a fixed pattern, it can be varied. ”

Xu Wei nodded hurriedly, and she hurriedly picked up a pen and recorded it.

Don't look at these simple dishes, but when you close your eyes after eating them, you can feel as if you can hear the sound of the waves, and no matter how discerning your taste buds are, you can't find anything wrong with them.

"Brother, someone called this afternoon and asked if we wanted to certify Michelin."

Brother Zhang just shook his head, then waved his hand and said, "There's no need, we're just a small shop doing neighborhood business." ”

And at this moment, the door outside was pushed open, and then a stranger walked in, she looked back and forth, and then walked to Brother Zhang's side: "Excuse me...... Is there anything else to eat? ”

Brother Xiao Zhang raised his head and looked at her, and found that this woman was about twenty-four or five years old, her eyes were a little red and swollen, she was not wearing shoes under her feet, and her hair was slightly messy, but the clothes on her body looked very valuable.

"Do you need help? Alarm? ”

"No...... I wanted to get something to eat, and I just saw that there were still lights here, so I came in. If not, forget it, I'll go somewhere else. ”

Brother Xiao Zhang pointed to the things on the table: "There are foreign things in the store, but there are many more here, if you don't dislike it, you can eat some together, no money." ”

The woman hesitated for a while, but she was so hungry that she was grumbling, so she could only sit down slightly embarrassed......

But soon the deliciousness of the food dispelled her doubts, she could be regarded as having seen it, but the food in front of her had a taste that she could not describe, it can be said to be a top delicacy, even those top foreign chefs may not be able to make such a taste.

During the meal, Brother Xiao Zhang didn't ask anything, as if there was no such person, they talked about their days, ate their meals, and didn't feel any difference because there was one more person.

And this woman is obviously not from an ordinary family, her eating demeanor is also well-educated, chewing slowly and not squinting.

"Brother, I'm very curious, even if you are basically not profitable, why would you want to open a restaurant."

Brother Xiao Zhang laughed when he heard this question, he leaned back in his chair and was silent for a while before saying, "Because I think food is one of the few things that can calm down at a very low price, whether it is the process of cooking or tasting." Especially when you see others expressing their approval of the food you make, it is actually very fulfilling. Many times we don't know what we want, so when we are confused, it is better to have a bowl of soup first. ”

"Really!" Xu Wei said excitedly: "My braised pork is very popular, and the more they like me, the happier they are." ”

Ranwen

The woman next to her was chewing and listening to their conversation, but she didn't interject, just ate silently, and just cried as she ate.

Brother Xiao Zhang glanced at her sideways, and handed over a few tissues: "People who can eat while crying can generally walk far." ”

One sentence made the girl burst into tears and laughed: "I'm sorry...... It affects you. ”

"It's fine." Brother Xiao Zhang shook his head and said, "You can just eat." ”

But at this moment, a man rushed in from outside, and after looking around, he went straight in this direction, and he pointed to the woman who was eating: "Are you too embarrassed to run?" You've done something I'm sorry for and still cry with your face? ”

After speaking, he raised his hand and tried to knock off the bowl in the woman's hand, but before the hand fell, Xu Wei grabbed it, and he struggled a few times but couldn't break free of Xu Wei's hand at all, so he shouted angrily: "It's okay with you, let me go!" ”

Xu Wei frowned: "You still want to beat people, right?" Believe it or not, I called the police! ”

But the woman hurriedly put down the bowl, stood up and said to Brother Zhang, "Thank you......"

After speaking, she was about to go out with a man, but Xu Wei stretched out her hand and stopped her: "You don't have to go, I'll see what he can do to you today!" ”
