The Forbidden City cats are so cute!

Xie Xingchen and Xiao Randi were addicted to watching cats and couldn't extricate themselves for a while.

Especially the timid orange cat that looks like Papa, the adorable Xie Xingchen who looks like he is daring to come out while sneaking his head out.

I want to make cat food!

Xie Xingchen raised his head and said to Ludwig with bright eyes, "Luther, will you do me a favor later?"

Ludwig nodded, thinking that what Xie Xingchen said was a big favor.

However

After Xie Xingchen turned on the optical brain and operated for a while, he was called by Xie Xingchen to a place a little further away to help arrange the kitchen utensils.

Looking at the kitchen utensils in front of him, Ludwig was rarely speechless.

Set the table, put the kitchen utensils, and take out the spatula. After everything was ready, Xie Xingchen ran back to the palace wall and squatted next to little Randy intently, watching the cats with him.

There are many cats on the palace wall of Chang'an City, mainly big oranges and three flowers. In addition, Xie Xingchen also saw high-value black cats, white cats, and cute fluffy lion cats.

Most cats are not as lofty as that black cat, habitually looking down on all living beings.

Cats are generally timid. They hide in the cat hole when they hear a little movement, poke their heads inside and look out, for fear that others will hurt them.

After waiting for about thirty minutes, a robot flew over with a small bucket in a hover car.

This is a cleaned and processed small miscellaneous fish!

Xie Xingchen took the keg with a smile, and then came to the "small kitchen" that had been set up.

He dried some of the small fish with absorbent paper and put it in the oven to dry, and he prepared the other part to make fried small fish.

Cats can eat a small amount of fried fish, even cats with a weak stomach can eat a little, not to mention Chinese pastoral cats with a strong stomach.

Seeing little Randy staring at Maomao intently, Xie Xingchen didn't call them to come back to look at Maomao, he started to work quickly.

After a while, there was a faint fishy smell of dried small fish and a strong smell of fried fish in the air.

This smell made the imperial cats who were originally shrunk in the hole in the wall couldn't help but poke their heads out quietly.

Looking up, Xie Xingchen who happened to see this scene almost died laughing.

It turns out that the legendary cat on the wall is like this!

Hahahahaha, don't say it, it's really vivid.

Just like growing mushrooms, the smooth city walls grew "protruding" cat heads.

The cats and cats looked at the two-legged beasts, one big, one small, and three two-legged beasts outside vigilantly. After realizing that they really wouldn't hurt them, these little cute creatures were relieved and walked out slowly.

Step by step, countless cats and cats walked up to Xie Xingchen.

They formed a circle around Xie Xingchen.

Surrounded by cats and cats, Xie Xingchen's eyes lit up.

"Cats and cats, wait a minute, I'll make dried fish for you."

Xie Xingchen really wanted to squat down and stroke the cat at this moment, but reason stopped him.

Seeing Little Randy's envious eyes next to him, Xie Xingchen puffed up his chest childishly, feeling more motivated to cook cat food!

...

The cats are very obedient, even if they are called "meow meow" by greedy, they never thought of rushing up to snatch the dried fish when they surrounded Xie Xingchen.

This made Xie Xingchen a little surprised, but then he thought it was normal (?).

Maybe these cats are really descendants of the cats raised by the nobles in the palace!After generations of taming, they are even more docile than the wild cats outside.

Thinking of this, Xie Xingchen's whole heart softened, and the way he looked at Maomao was even more unbelievably soft.

What's it like to be surrounded by a group of cuties?

Xie Xingchen can answer you right now—excited enough to go to heaven!

But as time passed, the pitiful meowing of the cats was really unbearable.

So Xie Xingchen called over Ludwig and Little Randy who were standing by the side looking at the cat, and were even about to touch the cat.

He took out a bunch of spare bowls from the space button, and gave them a task - put the bowls in front of these cats one by one.

Ludwig and Little Randy couldn't cross the cat circle, so they could only float over on the hoverboard to receive the task.

The royal cats squatting on the ground looked curiously at the two-legged beasts that could suddenly fly, and they were immediately taken away by their curiosity.

Except for some Forbidden City cats who are particularly greedy for small fish, other cats can't help but chase after the hoverboard.

Ludwig: "..."

Little Randy frowned, pouted, turned his head and complained: "Brother Xingchen, cat run away."

The implication is that if the cats run away, he can't put the bowl in front of them.

Xie Xingchen couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, he said loudly: "Don't worry about the cats, just find a place around here and put them around. I will put the fried fish and small dried fish in there."

This request is not difficult.

Seeing that little Randy was seriously turning his little head to find a place, Ludwig could tell at a glance where the most suitable place was, and he simply didn't speak, it was all up to Randy to decide.

Randy skipped many places along the way, and finally he turned his eyes back to the palace wall.

Obediently getting off the hoverboard, he placed the small bowls one by one in front of the palace wall about 2 meters away from the "Maomao's House".

The children are really good. Xie Xingchen said that he wanted to feed the cats. He was afraid that the cats would fight, so he put down the bowls facing the hole one by one.Own cat bowl.

Seeing that he was so happy, laughing while setting the bowl, Ludwig quietly handed him the bowl in his hand, and watched the child working happily there.

Soon Xie Xingchen saved enough fried fish to feed the cat at one time.

He carried a basin full of fried fish, stepped over the cat enclosure, and came to the palace wall.

He bent down and picked up two small fried fish in a bowl with tongs.

The cats are obedient and smart, seeing Xie Xingchen put the bowls over one by one, they ran to the bowls in front of their cat caves and waited for Xie Xingchen to deliver small fried fish.

The cat who gets the small fried fish will also make a sweet "meow~~" sound at him.

Xie Xingchen was so fascinated that he couldn't find him!

After distributing the fried fish, Xie Xingchen took the pot back.

Then Meizizi sat on the pony, and together with Little Randy, they watched these cute little creatures eating with sparkling eyes.

"Ding~"

This is dried fish.

Xie Xingchen got up and walked over, opened the oven, inspected it, and took out the small dried fish inside with satisfaction.

The smelly smell of dried fish made the group of cats who had just had their fill and were fighting with each other tilt their heads to look at Xie Xingchen.

Unconsciously being cute is the deadliest thing!

Xie Xingchen: Isn't it just dried fish?Give!

One cat and two small dried fishes, the rest were packed by Xie Xingchen, planning to let the robot come over to feed them again at night.

With the experience of the last time, although the cats were more impatient this time, they still squatted obediently in front of their cat bowls and waited for the two-legged animal fish in front of them.

After eating the dried fish, the cats spread out in twos and threes to bask in the rare warm winter sun. Some cats squatted by the pond to drink water, and some ran up the palace wall and lay leisurely on the palace wall.lick fur.

Every cat has its own things to do, but without exception, they don't bother to care about the two-legged beasts in front of them when they are full.

But Xie Xingchen and the others are not without progress, at least now the cats are no longer afraid of them.

After squatting on the palace wall for more than two hours and nearly three hours, it was time for dinner on the return trip.

Everyone came out of the alleys of the various houses in Chang'an City, and then returned to Xie's house in Chang'an Workshop for dinner.

After lunch, it's not easy at all.

After all, night is the highlight of New Year's Eve!

Xie Xingchen had to work for a long time just for the food on the dinner table at night.

After lunch, and an hour's lunch break, everyone started to get busy.

Cooking, mixing drinks and making desserts, Xie Xingchen even taught everyone how to fry melon seeds.

He doesn't have anything else to deal with here!

On the premise that there are many sunflower seeds, there are five flavors, tea flavor, spicy taste, milk flavor... only you can't think of flavors, there is no flavor that you can't fry sunflower seeds.

Anyway, at the end of the speculation, Xie Xingchen couldn't help feeling the inclusiveness of sunflower seeds—absolutely!

In addition to sunflower seeds, they have to prepare other ingredients for dinner, but these do not need to be fired for the time being, they only need to be prepared in advance and fried a few hours before dinner.

There was a busy meal, and everyone was very happy.

Such a scene of laughter and laughter is extremely rare for people with mechanical life forms.

So when Xie Xingchen boiled a big pot of vanilla water for everyone to take a bath, everyone went there consciously.

Those who didn’t need to go into the kitchen took a shower early and put on new clothes (Xie Xingchen strongly suggested it), while those who needed to go into the kitchen put the vanilla water aside and didn’t take a bath until after cooking and eating tonight.

At 6:00 p.m., little Randy, who was well washed, was already laughing and playing in the yard. At this time, Xie Xingchen, Fa Cai, Fugui, Chang Shou, Eyre and other good cooks were already in theThe kitchen is busy.

Chicken, duck and fish are regular, abalone and king crab are also on stage, and there are many pork knuckle croquettes...

It was not until 8 o'clock in the evening that the five talents finished their work.

At this time, Xie Xingchen turned on the projection of the most lively program of the Star Alliance, thinking it was the Spring Festival Gala.

After turning on the projector, he called people to come to eat with a smile on his face.

More than a dozen dishes forced the entire big round table to fill up. After everyone was seated, they almost couldn't even sit down. In the end, they forced a squeeze, which allowed everyone to have a seat.

For Ludwig, such a "banquet" is shabby, but the inexplicable festival without a sense of distance makes him feel sincerely happy.

It's as if... here he is just Ludwig, he has no identity other than this name, and other people don't care whether he is a star alliance powerhouse or a leader of mechanical life, he seems to be just him!

Ludwig's literary accomplishment is average, and he couldn't find a more prepared vocabulary to describe his feelings at the moment, but he thought of one word—warmth.

Yes, it is warm!

...

Xie Xingchen was the only one present to celebrate the Spring Festival. He is proud to bring the festival of Spring Festival to Interstellar!

So he did his part to take up the atmosphere group.

I have to say that this is also a miracle!

After all, Xie Xingchen himself is not a long-sleeved and good dancer, he prefers to be a fan rather than an atmosphere group.

But considering that all the mechanical beings present were more silent than him, he was forced to resist in this atmosphere group.

How can say it?

Sometimes you really don’t need an atmosphere group during the holidays!

When the surrounding atmosphere has been enhanced to a certain extent, everyone's behavior will change a lot.

For example, at this moment, the mechanical life forms who are not very talkative have successfully understood the true meaning of "bragging".

One bite of food, one bite of meat, and one bite of drink. After eating and drinking for more than ten minutes, everyone successfully unlocked "hee hee haha", "gag", "shoulder and waist".

After the meal was over, the table was cleared away, and everyone even sat on the chairs without a teacher and chatted enthusiastically.

With the lively optical brain program, their chat content ranged from complaining about their leaders to gossip about a certain colleague. The atmosphere was so comfortable that they completely forgot that their biggest leader was by their side.

Xie Xingchen who heard this content couldn't help but sweat for them.

He even couldn't help but quietly looked at Ludwig, for fear that Ludwig would lose his temper with his subordinates on a big holiday.

Fortunately, Ludwig's temper is 100 times better than Xie Xingchen thought!

Not only did he not lose his temper, he didn't even show angry mood swings. Instead, he listened carefully to their complaints, as if he was collecting opinions!

This made Xie Xingchen very admired, and at the same time, it also made Xie Xingchen understand more about what kind of person Ludwig was, and it also made him admire this man even more!

When the time came to 10 o'clock, Xie Xingchen drove those who hadn't showered back to take a shower.

At 11 o'clock, everyone gathered in the lobby after washing up.

At this time, Xie Xingchen walked over from the bedroom with a small bag.

Smiling, he took out a big red envelope with Chinese zodiac signs from his bag, and distributed it all the way starting from the youngest Randy.

Xie Xingchen bent down, gently touched Randy's head, and said happily: "Little baby, I wish you a happy new year, and grow up quickly."

After speaking, he handed over the thickest red envelope.

A look of surprise appeared on Little Randy's baby fat face. After the little child took the red envelope, he suddenly replied to Xie Xingchen with a blessing in a childlike voice: "Brother Xingchen wants to be a happy duck too."

After finishing speaking, his chubby hands couldn't help pinching the red envelope curiously.

When Randy found that there was a round thing inside, he couldn't help opening it curiously, and when he found that there were a lot of energy coins inside, his small mouth completely turned into an O shape.

Little Randy, who had never seen such a custom of giving red envelopes, ran to other places to watch.

Seeing that everyone is energy coins, he blinked his big eyes and asked curiously: "Brother Xingchen, why, give it away, tell me?"

Xie Xingchen rubbed his smile, and replied with a smile: "Because this is New Year's money, "Sui" and "Yu" are homophonic. According to the Chinese tradition, the elders should give the younger generation New Year's money during the New Year. Getting the New Year's money means getting blessings from the elders., you will be safe and sound in the new year."

After finishing speaking, he winked and teased again: "Put the sleeping money under the pillow and sleep, maybe you will have good dreams tonight."

Hearing that Xie Xingchen said that the New Year's money is a blessing from the elders to the younger generation, the others were embarrassed to accept it, and they wanted to give all the blessings to Little Randy.

But it was stopped by Xie Xingchen.

Xie Xingchen shook his head and laughed: "Hey, it's just a custom, there is no such thing as a blessing from the elders to the younger generation, the New Year's money has a good meaning, and I don't lack that little money, so I just take it for you, it's not bad for a good fortune."

When Xie Xingchen said this, it was difficult for others to refuse.

Only Ludwig, he looked at Xie Xingchen thoughtfully for a while, then went back to the room, and he didn't come back until more than ten minutes later.

After calling Xie Xingchen out, Ludwig handed him an unattractive red envelope made of red paper.

Seeing that Xie Xingchen's attention was all on the red envelope, Ludwig, who was absolutely self-aware of his manual skills, rarely had his ears turned red.

"This is the lucky money I gave you." Ludwig handed over the ugly red envelope.

Inside the red envelope is a commemorative gold coin, which was given to him by his father when he was a child. It is a very commemorative commemorative coin - a commemorative gold coin issued in the first year of the establishment of Mechanical Civilization.

There are 10 commemorative coins in this set, among which this mechanical gear commemorative gold coin is Ludwig's favorite one.

Now, he gave Xie Xingchen his favorite and most commemorative commemorative coin.

Xie Xingchen squeezed it quietly with his hands, and found that it turned out to be something in the same shape as an energy coin.

He immediately thought that Ludwig took out the energy coins in the red envelope he gave him and gave them to him.

But he only got one gold coin bye, so instead of returning it, he happily accepted it, feeling that Ludwig's mind was turning fast!

How wonderful, so that everyone has lucky money!

Unexpectedly, Xie Xingchen received the sleeping money again, and Xie Xingchen felt unprecedentedly happy.

Without thinking about it, he took Ludwig's hand, then poked his head out of the window, and said to the people who were chatting happily in the hall: "Everyone, come out, let's set off fireworks!"

light fireworks?

Interstellar has no fireworks, only salutes.

So everyone was quite curious about this thing called "fireworks".

A dozen people followed Xie Xingchen to the empty courtyard.

There is a big red round pier in the yard. It is about 2 meters in diameter and 1 meter high. There is a slightly thick rope in the middle of the pier, about 3 meters long, spreading from the pier to the ground.

This is the New Year's Day fireworks gift package that Xie Xingchen bought before.

But because it is useless on New Year's Day, it is quite appropriate to use it now.

But to be honest, the size of the fireworks really scared Xie Xingchen a bit.

However, thinking about what the system said was that the fireworks could be set off continuously for an hour, he seemed to understand why it was so much bigger than ordinary fireworks!

Taking out the lighter, Xie Xingchen told everyone to step back, then he grabbed the rope and burned it.

After igniting it, Xie Xingchen quickly backed away while stopping the curious crowd.

After waiting for about 1 minute, the 3-meter-long fuse burned out.

At this time, there was a sound of "gulong".

The fireworks body visibly moved.

Then there was a long ending of "咻...", the fireworks rushed into the night sky, and exploded a beautiful peony flower.

A group of people looked at the dazzling peony flower in the night sky, their mouths slightly opened.

But this is not the end, after the peony came jasmine, osmanthus, rose, sunflower, peony, hydrangea...all the unknown flowers that Xie Xingchen knew appeared!

The gorgeous fireworks confused Xie Xingchen!

These fireworks are really "fireworks"!

At this moment, the starry sky is full of all kinds of flowers composed of fireworks.

Xie Xingchen: The system's fireworks are too awesome!

"Wow, it turns out that this is a firework. It's really beautiful. I like this thing called a firework so much!"

"Thank you boss, no wonder you let us all come out to watch the fireworks, the fireworks are so beautiful!"

"Hahahaha thank you, boss, for your creativity! You can think of such a beautiful thing. Really, if it weren't for you, boss, to invite us to watch the fireworks, we would never have thought of such a fun thing!"

"..."

The fireworks in front of them made everyone's eyes widen.

After the shock, only deep admiration remained.

It's not that they praised Xie Xingchen on purpose, but Xie Xingchen has been doing things that others can't do!

Don't say anything else, just talk about the fireworks in front of you.

For them, the principle of this fireworks is actually very simple, which belongs to the kind that can be made by hand after seeing it.

But here comes the problem.

If it's so simple, why hasn't the interstellar people tried to make fireworks?

This is obviously a holiday weapon!

Regardless of the festival, as long as there are a few more fireworks, a proper festive atmosphere will come out!

But anyway, no one thought to make something so simple.

Only Boss Xie, who is always innovating, has created an unprecedented product today.

However

Xie Xingchen did not recognize this title of innovation expert, he tried his best to say that this is just a traditional Chinese custom, and Chinese people have to set off fireworks every festival!

Especially during the Spring Festival at a certain time, not only the country will set off fireworks, but ordinary people will also set off fireworks. At that time, many people will sit by the window to watch the night sky as if there is no limitfireworks.

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but be attracted by them.

There is only one firework in front of them, but this one firework can set off such brilliant fireworks, what if there are a thousand?What about ten thousand?

That picture was too unimaginable.

They can't imagine what kind of nation China is, and why this nation disappeared in the long river of civilization.

To this, Xie Xingchen responded with a wry smile.

Everyone saw this and discussed other topics wisely.

...

There is a custom of keeping the year old on New Year's Eve. After knowing this custom, everyone said that they can not sleep today.

However, Xie Xingchen was not so ruthless as to let everyone sit and chat. With the help of the system, he managed to suspend both poker and mahjong.

At about 24 o'clock, Xie Xingchen ran to the yard and took out the red firecrackers he had ordered in the weapon shop.

A big red firecracker is coiled in the yard like a long dragon.

With the New Year's Eve bell ringing at 12 o'clock, when the new year officially arrived, Xie Xingchen lit the firecrackers.

"Crackling..."

In the sound of firecrackers, the year is eliminated.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, Xie Xingchen turned his head with a smile, and shouted happily "Happy New Year" to everyone.

The other people who were startled by the sound of firecrackers immediately came back to their senses, and followed suit: "Happy New Year!"

After sending blessings to both parties, everyone covered their ears and waited until the firecrackers were set off.

In the smell of gunpowder, red confetti covered the entire yard. At first glance, it seemed that a red snowflake had covered the yard, bringing the festiveness of the New Year oncoming.

The hazy smoke was still spreading, and Xie Xingchen had already returned to the hall with the reluctant crowd.

Everyone leaned against the door and window, quietly admiring the "firecracker red" outside the house and the bright fireworks in the night sky.

After watching for a long time, everyone gathered together in twos and threes to fight the landlord and play mahjong under Xie Xingchen's call.

Playing cards while watching the fireworks still blooming in the night sky, this kind of pyrotechnics is especially beneficial to mechanical life forms.

What's more useful is when they learn to fight the landlord and play mahjong!

Mechanical beings: Help, why is there such a fun thing!

When they racked their brains to win each other, and put red stripes on each other's face, and then watched the opposite person "blowing his beard and staring" and uttering harsh words, hahahaha... that feeling is really addictive!
