    There is a kind of simplicity called "Xie Xingchen's simplicity".

    Chinese knots are beautiful, but too difficult for someone who has never seen them.

    After all, the weaving industry is underdeveloped in this era, and anyone who knows some weaving skills can be called a "handicraft master".

    So looking at the prosperous, beautiful and festive beautiful Chinese knot, many people who followed Xie Xingchen's live broadcast were discouraged.

    Xie Xingchen encouraged: "Everyone, don't be dazed, move quickly! It's very simple, follow me, this red rope goes through here, that red rope goes around there, and then passes through here, and finallyTighten it...not too loose or too tight, or it won't look good, it should be neither loose nor tight."

    I'm used to hearing uncertain quantifiers such as "a little", "more", and "almost enough" in Boss Xie's mouth, and everyone has a good grasp of the "not loose or tight" in his mouth.

    However this is of no use.

    Is it because the things they make are difficult?

    No, the handicapped party is called the handicapped party because of their inability to do it themselves, that is to say, even the simplest things can make you a "flower".

    They frantically followed Xie Xingchen's teaching steps, although it was winter, some people were almost sweating.

    That's right, some people here are referring to - Ludwig.

    It never occurred to me that among the 18 people present (plus Chang Shou, who has already finished the paste), he is the only handicapped party.

    It's fine for Ludwig to be hanged and beaten by the pro-guards, he has to be hanged and beaten by three robots and his little brother.

    If Xie Xingchen, who cut out the strange-shaped window grilles, can still say "art" without conscience, let alone Xie Xingchen's Chinese knot, he is just as innocent as little Randy. He has already broken the "art filter" of his brother.

    [Hahahahaha laughed to death, this good buddy's ability to do it is really bad!】

    [The death scene of the proper club is over!There are so many people doing handwork together, but even robots and children are better than him. If I were him, I would like to buy a spaceship ticket and escape from the earth immediately!】

    Ludwig, the only handicapped party at the scene, deserves sympathy!

    Seeing him was like meeting family.

    Chinese knot is obviously so difficult, but other people have learned it in a short time?

    This is too unscientific!

    Only this tall boy is good!

    He is a role model for ordinary people.

    Ludwig's indifferent face: There is no need for such an understanding, thank you.

    After losing and fighting again and again, after several times, Ludwig finally learned to give up.

    It's not that he doesn't want to continue learning, but that his brain says he has learned, but his hands have their own ideas.

    ...

    For two hours, Xie Xingchen was teaching Chinese knots.

    Everyone (except Ludwig) has learned from no successes to no failures.

    In two hours, Xie Xingchen weaved more than a dozen Chinese knots, and everyone had at least one successful finished product, barely adding up to 30 knots.

    But Xie's house is too big, if you want to decorate Xie's house properly, these Chinese knots are not enough, everyone has to work hard.

    ...

    After learning, doing handwork becomes interesting.

    Weaving doesn't feel tiring, but weaving different styles of Chinese knots with both hands gives them a sense of pride, and even feels that if they retire, they can rely on this craft to support themselves.

    Coincidentally, people who have learned how to cut window grilles think so too.

    So far, cutting window grilles and weaving Chinese knots have officially entered the right track.

    Xie Xingchen looked around, then nodded in satisfaction, then called away the only idler, Ludwig, and asked him to help put up Spring Festival couplets.

    Carrying a bucket full of paste made by Fa Cai, Fu Gui, and Chang Shou, he drove the hoverboard to the door. Xie Xingchen carefully applied a layer of paste to the Spring Festival couplets, and then let Ludwig step on the hoverboard stickers.couplets.

    "Is this okay?" Ludwig asked after adjusting the position of the Spring Festival couplets according to Xie Xingchen's request.

    Xie Xingchen replied in a crisp voice: "I'll go and have a look."

    Then footsteps sounded, and after a while, Xie Xingchen yelled loudly: "Yes, Luther, you can post it."

    Ludwig received the instruction and meticulously pasted the Spring Festival couplets.

    Then step on the hoverboard and fly to the other side of the gate, take Xie Xingchen's pasted Spring Festival couplets and place them again, and post them when Xie Xingchen says "yes", and the same method for posting horizontal batches.

    One door, two doors, three doors...

    After more and more cooperation, the two have become more and more tacit understanding.

    At this time, the netizens watching the live broadcast were speechless.

    They were deeply fascinated by Xie Zhai.

    The calyx pavilions are green and the water is new, and the water circles the corridor and returns to the winding path.

    Here, they saw the perfect combination of nature and architecture, and the perfect combination of humanities and architecture.

    How can there be such an architectural style that people can't help but feel amazing?

    It's just a house, but it just makes people look mesmerized.

    [I don’t know how many times I’ve said shit for being uneducated!Boss Xie actually hid this treasure for so long, I hate it!】

    [Hey, Boss Xie really doesn't think about developing tourism?I really want to travel to the Earth Commercial Bank!Even if there are no tourist facilities, wow, we can bring our own dry food and tents!】

    It was said before that only a small number of people go on a trip, but this time there are countless people who want to go on a trip.

    However, in addition to wanting to travel, some people also brushed about the strange things they found.

    [Wait, don't you think this place called "Huaxia" is strange?Does our Star Alliance really have such a nation?If there is such a cultural heritage, why did it fall to the point where no one knows it today?】

    I have to say that this netizen is very accurate, but unfortunately no one buys it.

    [Eh...the Star Alliance has so many civilizations, large and small, and each major civilization is composed of different races. These different races have also split into many nations, and some of these nations have disappeared in history, and some are prosperous. You want to find aA prosperous nation is easy, but it is difficult to find one that disappears without a trace, right?】

    [That's right, even historians who specialize in this field can't guarantee that they can know all civilizations, so isn't it normal for a civilization that no one knows but existed before?】

    [For example, the Barot civilization, which is now well-known to everyone, also appeared suddenly, and then proved to be a real civilization.】

    These days, the descendants of a certain civilization suddenly appeared with a pile of historical materials, or Star Alliance archaeologists discovered the remains of a certain civilization, thus proving that a certain civilization appeared in a certain place at a certain time.Can't say it's common, but it's not uncommon.

    So no one suspects that Xie Xingchen is not a member of the Star Alliance. They only think that Xie Xingchen is a member of the ancient bereaved family. Even the parents of the Fu family have no doubts. They secretly hate the Xie family for hiding too deeply, otherwise they would not use suchInstead of blatantly plotting to cultivate the Xie family's heritage, they will adopt a more gentle marriage method and use "Chinese culture" to make money over the years.

    But now it's too late.

    Xie Xingchen's wings grew hard and he flew away suddenly. His strong and low price has effectively suppressed the price of green plants in the Star Alliance. In addition, he is getting more and more popular now. The matter of the Xie family and the Fu family has been revealed.The people's perception of the Fu family is extremely bad, and the planting industry that has not yet been fully developed by the Fu family has been hit hard, and now it is still alive.

    The Fu family's parents lost their temper while watching the live broadcast, their eyes were full of envy and jealousy.

    ...

    After posting all the Spring Festival couplets, Xie's house, which was originally cold, suddenly became a lot of joy.

    Seeing such a stark contrast, Ludwig looked at the red Spring Festival couplets on the gatehouse thoughtfully.

    He didn't like red in the past, but today he has changed his opinion of red.

    It turns out that besides the color of blood, red is also a festive color.

    Xie Xingchen looked around with satisfaction, and finally came to the hall. After counting the number of window grilles and Chinese knots, he said to everyone: "Let's put on window grilles and hang Chinese knots first, and see if these are enough."

    After finishing speaking, Xie Xingchen picked up the window grilles that he had cut for the Chinese zodiac signs, more than every year, auspicious, lucky, and so on.

    Seeing him pick up his own window grilles, Little Randy widened his round cat eyes happily, and then hugged the little tiger window grilles he cut and followed.

    That's right, except for learning to cut a few flowers at the beginning, the window grilles that little Randy cut later were all little tigers.

    There are simple tiger cubs who just stand there and roar, and there are more complicated ones that step on things and play.

    There are all kinds of little tigers, only you can't think of them, and you can't cut them without Randy.

    And this kid is really talented in art!

    When others were still cutting the styles taught by Xie Xingchen, he had already learned to use the optical brain to make pictures, conceived patterns and then simulated cutting.

    Xie Xingchen was very surprised when he found out.

    Unexpectedly, he picked up a little artist.

    Although it is difficult for mechanical life to produce artists, as far as the artistic talent of Little Randy is concerned, he will be a future art master, not to mention Xie Xingchen has a filter. Except for him, all netizens who watched the live broadcast agreed.

    Lead a group of people to stick window grilles on the windows and tie Chinese knots wherever you want.

    18 people were mobilized, and within half an hour, the huge Xie Mansion became a red and festive "ocean".

    But it’s just a little decoration, but it makes the taste of the year more and more intense, and it also makes people look forward to the arrival of the "year".

    The number of window grilles and Chinese knots was not enough. Xie Xingchen led people to make window grilles with the word "Fu" and weave auspicious knots.

    These two things are not difficult to make, but they have a good meaning.

    Especially the word "Fu"!

    Xie Xingchen found out that no one except himself had cut the word "Fu".

    Worked until the evening, when the sunset appeared, Xie Xingchen let everyone rest.

    Xie Xingchen bent his lips and looked at the live broadcast ball: "Okay, today's live broadcast is over here, and we will start the live broadcast again tomorrow morning. The content is Chinese New Year food, everyone remember to watch it tomorrow."

    Then, despite the wailing of the crowd, Xie Xingchen decisively turned off the live broadcast.

    Today is too tiring, neither he nor Fa Cai have the time and energy to cook, so tonight's dinner is served from the gourmet machine.

    Staple food includes noodles with scallion oil, scallion pancakes, meat sandwiches, steamed buns and dumplings, etc. Snacks include fried chestnuts with sugar, various milk teas, biscuits, etc. In addition, there are three new flavors of energy liquids that mechanical lifeforms love.

    All kinds of delicacies were filled to the table, making the mouths of the hungry people drooling.

    Xie Xingchen greeted: "You are welcome, come and eat!"

    After speaking, Xie Xingchen picked up a dumpling with his chopsticks, dipped it in some vinegar and put it into Randy's bowl.

    Seeing Ludwig staring at himself, he also warmly suggested: "Luther, the dumplings taste better with vinegar, you can try it."

    After finishing speaking, he took another dumpling and dipped it in vinegar, but instead of giving it to Ludwig, he put it into his own mouth.

    After ignorantly eating a good meal, Xie Xingchen couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth in the lively atmosphere of the table.

    People are like this, when they are alone for a long time, they will want to be lively.

    After eating and drinking enough, Xie Xingchen didn't keep everyone busy.

    After the disbandment, after seeking Xie Xingchen's opinion, everyone in the pro-guard team walked happily through the streets and alleys of Chang'an City on the hoverboard.

    Countless photos with Chang'an City were left on their optical brains.

    When they posted these group photos to their circle of friends, their teeth itched with envy, while the rest of the pro-guard who did not get the qualification to accompany them trained hard, vowing to pull these 12 people down next time and put them on top!

    The next morning, everyone who came back from the game at some point but was still in good spirits looked at Xie Xingchen with piercing eyes.

    Obviously, everyone remembers that today is the food day that Xie Xingchen said, and he will live broadcast the production of food for Chinese New Year.

    This is more attractive to them than manual work!

    You must know that they had a good impression of Boss Xie at the beginning because Boss Xie sold them scallion pancakes!

    Up to now, scallion pancakes are still the favorite of adults’ direct subordinates, and only the latest flavor of energy liquid can compare with it!

    And the latest flavor of energy liquid was also developed by Boss Xie!

    So Boss Xie said how delicious the delicious food is?

    They didn't know, but they took a wild guess - it was absolutely delicious!

    Xie Xingchen explained to everyone dumbfounded, and after explaining, he simply started the live broadcast in advance and made a "Spring Festival Food Special" for everyone, popularizing traditional Spring Festival food, making everyone's mouth water in a few words.

    After talking for about half an hour, everyone finished digesting. At this time, Xie Xingchen stopped explaining.

    He brought everyone to the courtyard, where there was a stone mill and a stone mortar.

    Xie Xingchen's main goal today is to make rice cakes and glutinous rice cakes, and then fry some meatballs and sweet potato strips.

    Rice cakes and glutinous rice cakes are made of the same material, and they look similar in appearance, but they are actually two different things.

    To make rice cakes, you need to grind glutinous rice and water into a slurry, then add sugar and other auxiliary materials and steam in a pan. If you don’t have this condition, you can also use glutinous rice flour and water, steam it and then remove the mold to get rice cakes.

    Rice cakes are generally not eaten raw, but fried or steamed.

    As for glutinous rice cakes?Its approach is more elegant and troublesome.

    It needs to steam the glutinous rice first, and then put the cooked glutinous rice into a stone mortar and pound it into mud. This process is also called "making glutinous rice cakes".

    Because of the large number of people, Xie Xingchen decided to use the most troublesome production method and also the most delicious production method for the finished product.

    Excluding himself and Randy, who had no strength to work, the 16 people present were divided into 3 teams by Xie Xingchen. The first team used a stone mill to grind glutinous rice pulp, the second team steamed glutinous rice to make glutinous rice cakes, and the third team chopped up glutinous rice for later cooking.Meatballs and cut sweet potato strips.

    Except for cutting the sweet potato strips, the rest is manual work, as long as you have the strength, you can do it, so Xie Xingchen is very relieved. After telling everyone the method, he let go.

    Because of the sufficient manpower, and the fact that Xie Xingchen was not needed at all because he was doing hard work, he took a job as a supervisor in his free time, and took care of the child by the way.

    No way, little Randy, who had never seen such a lively scene, couldn't help but approach curiously after seeing such a lively scene.

    For example, at this time, Little Randy walked in curiously, squatting on the ground and looking up from the bottom up to see Luke and Eyre pushing stones to grind glutinous rice slurry.

    The milky white glutinous rice slurry dripped from the stone mill into the wooden barrel. From a distance, he could smell a plant fragrance unique to grains.

    It's only the first step, and it smells so good, and the finished product is so delicious that people can't help but swallow their saliva just by thinking about it.

    On the other side of the courtyard, there is another team playing rice cakes.

    They put the steamed glutinous rice into the stone mortar and began to beat it.

    Because glutinous rice is highly viscous, the steamed glutinous rice can be beaten into balls after countless times. These glutinous rice balls are as delicate as white snow, and the taste is soft and sweet.

    In terms of taste alone, glutinous rice cakes are more popular with Xie Xingchen than rice cakes.

    It is Ludwig who is making rice cakes now.

    Although he looks tall and slender, he is actually tall and thin. He doesn't seem to be tired when he beats the rice cakes.

    Unlike Xie Xingchen, he used to beat glutinous rice cakes before, and he felt that he was going to die of exhaustion after only a few times.

    Now, seeing Ludwig being so "strong", Xie Xingchen couldn't help giving him a thumbs up.

    In addition, the work of chopping stuffing and cutting sweet potato strips is also carried out in the yard.

    Currently chopping stuffing is done by Chang Shou and Facai, while cutting sweet potato strips is done by Fugui with excellent knives.

    When he came to this side, he obviously had a different experience from the two teams next door.

    It may not be obvious to watch Chang Shou and Fa Cai chop stuffing, but when the live broadcast camera is aimed at Fugui, the effect is amazing!

    I saw Fugui quickly peeling the sweet potatoes (sweet potatoes) with a paring knife.

    He was so fast that afterimages appeared.

    In just a few seconds, he peeled a sweet potato, and after a few minutes, the peeled sweet potatoes piled up like a mountain in the basin.

    At this time, a member of the personal guard assigned to Fugui stepped forward to clean the sweet potatoes, while Fugui continued to peel them.

    But the funny thing is that people can't wash sweet potatoes as fast as Fugui can peel them!

    It wasn't until Fugui filled the other three large pots with peeled sweet potatoes that the guards washed the first pot of sweet potatoes.

    So Fugui didn't start cutting sweet potatoes, but helped clean the other three pots of sweet potatoes.

    [Fu Guier is doing well, he even helped clean the sweet potatoes!】

    [Wooooow why is Boss Xie so good at tuning/teaching robots?Look at other people's robots and then look at my robot, they are obviously the same type of robot, but they know different things at all!】

    The richness with quick hands and feet makes people feel powerful when they look at it.

    But this is not the most admirable thing about him. The most admirable thing is when Fugui picks up the knife.

    Ka Ka Ka...

    Under Fugui's control, the big kitchen knife really had an afterimage.

    Just like watching acrobatics and magic tricks, netizens were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths.

    Not to mention netizens, even the two teams who were milling stones and making glutinous rice cakes in the yard couldn't help coming over to watch Fu Guier "show off his skills".

    There were four pots of sweet potatoes in total, Fugui "Kach Kacha" cut three of them into the size of sweet potato strips Xie Xingchen wanted.

    Then he quickly cut the last pot of sweet potatoes into thin slices with a dazzling knife technique for a few minutes.

    "Okay, it's so boring." Little Randy's cat's eyes lit up, and he looked at Fugui with admiration.

    Randy's admiration broke the silence, and everyone couldn't help admiring.

    "Brother Fugui is amazing, your skills in all these things are so strong!"

    "Brother Fugui, can you teach me when you're free? I'm not good at knife skills."

    "Fugui, no wonder Boss Xie wants to name you Fugui. With this skill, when you awaken into a mechanical life in the future, you will definitely make a lot of money."

    "..."

    Everyone is surrounded by wealth, and you express your feelings with each other.

    It was the first time to become the focus of the crowd, Fugui froze for a while, and the program was a bit disordered.

    Seeing that being rich is not comfortable, Xie Xingchen hurried away: "Okay, okay, the excitement is over, you should go back to work, right? Your work is very important, so you can't be lazy."

    Hearing this, a group of talents walked back excitedly.

    Yes, that's right, their work matters too!This is related to whether everyone can eat rice cakes/cibas during the Chinese New Year!

    The onlookers went back to work, but the discussion in the live broadcast room did not stop.

    The blowout-like remarks are all about stealing wealth and returning home.

    However, as Fugui helped chop the meat, Fa Cai and Xie Xingchen started frying the drained sweet potato strips and sweet potato slices one at a time, and the public's comments changed from "stealing wealth" to "stealing fortune".

    Hey, it's really not that they are bothering, but - a robot that can cook is too attractive!

    Look at Fa Cai's confident expression, his nimble movements, and most importantly - his perfect work!

    Fa Cai is a proper chef!

    After stealing a fortune, they can not only eat delicious food, but also embark on the road to wealth!

    ...

    Frying things may seem simple, but those who have actually operated it know that it is not simple at all.

    If the frying time is short, the food will not be crispy enough, but if it is fried for a long time, it will be too hard. Only when it is just right can the most perfect sweet potato strips and sweet potato chips be fried.

    If only Fa Cai was the only one, maybe everyone would only think that Fa Cai is very capable, he did a really good job, but this time there is Xie Xingchen next to Fa Cai for comparison, and under the background of Xie Xingchen, Fa Cai is not inferior at all, and even appear more organized, which is rare!

    Fried food has always been the most attractive sharp weapon since ancient times. Xie Xingchen and Facai kept turning and scooping it up with a colander.

    When the golden yellow sweet potato strips and sweet potato chips come out of the oven, you can feel how crispy they are on the outside and tender on the inside just by looking at them.

    Sprinkle with a handful of secret chili powder and secret seasoning powder, sweet potato sticks and sweet potato chips are so delicious that they can make the children next door cry.

    After trying a piece of sweet potato chips, Xie Xingchen's eyes lit up, and he felt that the taste was just right.

    Then, without thinking, he picked up a piece of potato chips and stuffed them into the mouth of little Randy who had been pulling his trouser legs, and then rolled up a piece of potato chips and stuffed them into the mouth of Ludwig who was next to him, and then he asked the two of them with bright eyes: "How is it?"De, Randy, what do you guys think of this flavor? Is it too salty? Too spicy?"
