Chapter 412 Change
A gust of wind swept through the clouds.
Except for Tang Wan, a girl who was still nibbling on the vegetables, the other four boys had already put down their chopsticks contentedly and leaned back in their chairs to rest and digest their food.
The hot pot prepared by Lu You did not have many kinds of ingredients, and in total, they could be counted no more than two hands.
A big mix of beef, lamb, shrimp balls, fish balls, yam, watercress and mushrooms.
But the advantage is that the portion is large and filling. After cooking, everyone can get a big spoonful, which is very satisfying.
Unlike the hotpot restaurants outside, a plate of forty or fifty beef rolls is not as thick as an exercise book when stacked together. It is impossible to fill yourself up with it, at most you can just taste the flavor.
Zhang Zhichuang flossed his teeth, acting like a big shot, and commented, "Brother Lu, your hot pot is not ugly, and I like it very much. The only flaw is that it's missing a key dish. Do you know what it is?"
Lu You fished out a piece of beef that had been left out of the pot, dipped it in soy sauce and put it into Tang Wan's bowl.
"You mean chicken?"
“Yes, it’s chicken!”
There is a saying in Yuesheng: "No chicken, no feast."
Whether it is during festivals or entertaining friends and relatives, chicken is an indispensable dish on the dining table of the people of Guangdong.
There are also a wide variety of cooking methods, including steaming, salt-baking, blanching, sesame oil, hanging, braising, stewing, etc. There is nothing that cannot be done as long as you can think of it.
In short, chicken has an irreplaceable position in the hearts of Yue Province people.
Zhang Zhichuang looked at the little remaining soup with a look of regret and continued, "If this soup was made with chicken, I can't even imagine how delicious it would be!"
Zhang Zhichuang's words awakened Lu You's memory of buying groceries in the morning.
At first, Lu You thought about buying a hen to take home and make hot pot soup base, but the stench that struck his soul stopped him at the door.
"Let's wait for next time! I just arrived in the capital not long ago and I'm unfamiliar with the place. I don't know which chicken is of better quality, so I didn't buy any." Lu You found a reasonable excuse to prevaricate.
"Is there such a thing as quality for chicken? Don't they all taste the same?" Bi Yangde asked puzzledly.
"You Sichuan and Chongqing people only know spicy food. Even if you were given a delicious chicken, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to taste it properly."
Bi Yangde simply ignored Zhang Zhichuang's sarcasm.
He is just that kind of person, he is mean and likes to argue with people. He gets angry easily when people defend him and fight back. You just have to get used to it.
Lu You would never speak like Zhang Zhichuang.
"You must have heard of the classification of beef grades, right?"
Bi Yangde nodded and replied: "I have heard of M5 Wagyu and A5 Wagyu, but I don't know the specific breakdown."
"So, if there are grades of beef, why can't there be grades of chicken?"
"That makes sense." Bi Yangde nodded in agreement.
"Chickens vary in meat quality and flavor, depending on their breed, how they are raised and how much feed they are fed, and how long they are on the market."
"I see."
Bi Yangde looked enlightened, and then asked, "I have eaten high-quality beef. The aroma of fat and the taste of meat are not comparable to ordinary beef. What does high-quality chicken taste like? Can you describe it?"
"Well..."
Lu You pondered for a moment and replied: "I don't know how to describe it in words. If you have a chance to come to Yue Province, I will take you to a farm to try it, and you will understand."
At this time, Zhang Zhichuang interrupted and his tone sounded anxious.
"Brother Lu, we are all full. Let's put the chicken aside for now and talk about the other machine we use for playing."
Tang Wan paused for some reason as she was picking up the vegetables with her chopsticks and lowered her head silently.
Tang Wan swore that she had absolutely no wrong thoughts.
Lu You caught a glimpse of Tang Wan's little action, and couldn't help but smile in his heart, and replied: "Are you talking about ROG?"
"Yeah! Isn't that why we came to your house?"
Lu You raised his hand and pointed to the entrance of the corridor, saying, "On the left hand side at the end of the corridor is my study room. All the computer accessories are inside. If you are in a hurry, you can go there first. I still have to clean up the dishes."
"Forget it. I'm afraid I'll take the wrong road. It's better for me to wait for you to come together."
Zhang Zhichuang’s emotional intelligence is indeed a bit low, but it is not so low as to be negative.
Even blood relatives have to avoid privacy, let alone friends.
What if I have a cerebral hemorrhage and go into the wrong room, and see something I shouldn’t see? Just thinking about it makes me clench my big toes.
Zhang Zhichuang had personally experienced this kind of embarrassing thing, which was a top-notch black history in his life.
Lu You knew what Zhang Zhichuang was worried about, and said with a smile: "My room door has been closed for a long time, you won't go the wrong way, unless you open it yourself."
"Is there anything shameful in the study?"
"No. The study was just remodeled this week. There are only computers, desks and chairs in it."
"Okay! Since you said so, Lao Bi, Lao Gong, let's go!"
Zhang Zhichuang dragged Gong Qing and Bi Yangde and hurried to the study.
After a few seconds.
"Holy crap, an e-sports room? What a tender cow!"
"I admire you, Lu Sheng is my dream!"
"It's not bad actually. It's a little smaller than my house."
"Get lost, Versailles people!" x2
Listening to the quarreling of the three people, Lu You's mouth corners unconsciously curled up.
Occasionally, it's a good thing to have a lively home.
Tang Wan finished eating the last few vegetables and looked up, just in time to see the smile on Lu You's face.
That is a joy that comes from the heart, which is rarely seen.
It’s not that Lu You smiles less at Tang Wan, but the emotions contained in Lu You’s smile towards Tang Wan are different, mostly the love and tolerance between lovers.
Tang Wan's mind turned, she stretched out her finger and poked Lu You's waist, saying, "Husband, go play with your roommate, leave this here for me to clean up."
Lu You raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "Are you so sensible today?"
"What do you mean you're so sensible today? I've always been very sensible!" Tang Wan retorted righteously.
"To show hospitality for nothing is to be either an adulterer or a thief."
Lu You pointed at Tang Wan with his right hand and asked loudly, "Tell me, do you have any intentions?"
Tang Wan slapped Lu You's fingers away and said unhappily, "Am I that kind of person?"
"You must have taken a fancy to something and want me to sponsor you! That must be it!" Lu You said with certainty.
Tang Wan was completely speechless.
It's rare for me to take the initiative to do housework, but I didn't expect Lu You to doubt me instead.
Tang Wan pushed Lu You hard and said unhappily, "Just crawl when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Also, I have my own money. I will buy anything I want myself. I don't need your charity!"
"I... am really leaving?"
"Go quickly!"
Tang Wan waved at Lu You as if she was shooing away a fly.
Lu You carefully observed Tang Wan's expression.
The words "I'm not happy" were clearly written on that delicate face.
"How about I treat you to milk tea?"
"Humph!"
Tang Wan turned away and said coldly, "I am a scholar, I won't eat food given out of pity!"
"Just consider it as your payment for clearing the table."
"I want rose grapes, large, three parts sugar, with milk jelly."
……
After coaxing Tang Wan into a good mood, Lu You rushed to the study without stopping.
I saw Zhang Zhichuang and two other people gathered in front of a pile of boxes, talking in low voices.
Zhang Zhichuang: "Lao Bi, what do you think is in this box that is half a person's height?"
Bi Yangde: "The Genesis 701 case."
Zhang Zhichuang (with a horrified look): "How did you know? Do you have X-ray vision?"
Bi Yangde (with contempt in his eyes): "Damn it! Isn't there a pattern on the front of the box?"
Lu You closed the door with his backhand and said, "I've been here for so long, and you haven't helped me unpack yet?"
The three of them turned around at the same time.
"If you don't come, how would we dare to open?" Zhang Zhichuang replied.
"What's there to be afraid of? I don't mind."
"Come on! You would say you don't mind if we didn't open it, but if we did open it, you would definitely feel uncomfortable."
Lu You smiled and did not deny Zhang Zhichuang's statement.
It's like being accidentally bumped into by a stranger on the street. Although the result is no problem, the feelings are completely different if there is an apology or not.
Lu You walked to the middle of the three people, looked at the boxes stacked more than a meter high, and asked, "Which one do you want to open first? The graphics card or the motherboard?"
Zhang Zhichuang looked at the boxes and replied, "Open the small ones first, and save the graphics card for last. This will make it more of a ritual."
"Are you going to summon the Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon? And what a ritual!"
Lu You took out his phone, unlocked the password and handed it to Zhang Zhichuang, saying, "Here, help me take an unboxing video so that I can contact after-sales service if there is any problem."
Zhang Zhichuang took the phone and teased, "You rich guys actually have to contact after-sales service when there is a problem with the things you buy? I thought you just bought a new one."
"We are rich, but we are not mentally ill!" Gong Qing rolled his eyes and said speechlessly.
"What Lao Gong said is right. Even the quality of after-sales service directly affects whether we buy a certain item."
Lu You left the two large boxes where they were and moved the rest of the relatively smaller ones to the computer desk.
"Has the video started recording?"
Zhang Zhichuang raised his phone to the table and made an OK gesture.
The unboxing session officially begins.
Lu You held the utility knife in his hand and cut open the tape sealing the first small box.
What appeared before the four people was a completely black packaging box, which was almost the same size as a notebook.
Zhang Zhichuang stretched his neck to see the packaging box clearly and said, "Memory stick! Which brand is it?"
"The Chip Fantasy Trident, the specific parameters are unknown."
Lu You answered Bi Yangde's question the next second.
"8000 frequency, 24Gx2, CL40 timing."
"8000?"
Zhang Zhichuang almost lost his grip on the phone, his eyes widened, and he said in shock: "This frequency is too high, there will be no lag when playing 101!"
"It's no use."
Lu You put the memory stick box aside and said, "As for the bloated client of 101, it's useless to overclock it to 10000. It still keeps spinning in circles."
Then the seal on the second box was cut.
Lu You turned the box upside down, and three palm-sized packaging boxes fell onto the table one after another.
The packaging box is still all black, with a lot of English printed on each side.
Without waiting for the three to ask, Lu You introduced himself: "Western Digital SN850X solid-state drive, one 1T, two 4T."
"Fuck, 9T solid state drive? I don't even need to delete the porn I downloaded!"
Lu You squinted at Zhang Zhichuang and said disdainfully, "I can do it in practice, who would still watch movies online like you?"
"Damn it!" Zhang Zhichuang felt that his young heart had suffered a severe blow.
Bi Yangde looked at the packaging box of the 1T solid state drive, then at the 4T one, and found that the two were almost identical.
The only difference is the capacity logo in the upper right corner of the cover.
"Master, I'm curious, why did you buy a single 1T stick instead of three 4T sticks? Is there any reason for this?"
Lu You shook his head and replied, "I don't have an explanation. It's just my obsessive-compulsive disorder. If I don't install the system on a separate disk, I will feel uncomfortable all over."
Next, it was the third box's turn.
Unlike the first two boxes, the third box is significantly thicker and more cubic in shape.
"This should be the CPU, but I don't know whether it is AMD or Intel." Zhang Zhichuang guessed.
Gong Qing looked at me like I was a fool and replied, "Are you kidding me? Whose AMD memory frequency can reach 8000?"
"Can't get in? I don't know!"
"AMD's memory controller has set an upper limit. It can't even reach 8000, let alone 7000," Bi Yangde explained.
Just as everyone thought.
Lu You opened the box and found a blue packaging box inside.
At this moment, there was a small and rapid knock on the door.
Lu You immediately went over to open the door.
"What's wrong? Is something wrong?"
Tang Wan stood outside the door, glanced behind Lu You, and asked, "Have you started installing the computer?"
“Yes, I’m unpacking.”
"Can you take me one?"
"You also know how to install the computer?"
No wonder Lu You was surprised. Before this, Tang Wan had never shown any interest in computers, and she rarely even went into the e-sports room at home.
"If you don't understand, you can learn! Or do you not want to teach me?" Tang Wan teased.
"How could that be? I can't wait to teach you step by step!"
Is there anything more surprising than your girlfriend being interested in your hobbies and showing a desire to explore them?
Lu You took Tang Wan back to the computer desk, his tone more excited.
"Come on, let's continue."
Zhang Zhichuang and the other two looked at each other and saw the surprise on each other's faces.
"Goddess, are you also a computer geek?" Zhang Zhichuang asked.
"Well, I'm a newbie, so please give me your guidance." Tang Wan said with a smile.
Lu You deliberately tried to test the waters. He presented the blue box containing the CPU to Tang Wan and asked, "Do you know what's inside?"
"Yes, Intel i9-14900K."
"What does i9 mean?"
“CPU version represents the level of the same series.”
"What about 14?"
"The generation number of the CPU."
"What is the difference between K and KF?"
“K means it can be overclocked with integrated graphics, and KF means it can be overclocked without integrated graphics.”
Tang Wan answered very quickly, almost without thinking, and it was obvious that she was well prepared.
Lu You showed a satisfied smile and said, "It seems that you really have something, not just talk."
"Of course!"
……
The installation process lasted from around 12 noon to nearly 4 in the afternoon, taking more than three hours.
Most of the time was spent chatting, joking and giving Tang Wan introductory science lessons. The actual time spent on assembling the computer was less than an hour at most.
In fact, the atmosphere was a bit depressing at the beginning.
There were originally four boys who could talk about any topic and stepped on the accelerator to the limit, but a girl appeared out of nowhere and the scope of the topic suddenly tightened.
It’s like a game that was originally rated 18+ was changed to rated 12+, and everything becomes boring.
However, as the installation progressed, they had the common topic of computer accessories, and since they were all of the same age and Zhang Zhichuang occasionally shared his experiences, the five of them soon started chatting again.
As dusk approached, the computer hardware was assembled and it was time to enter the system installation phase.
Gong Qing tactfully used the excuse that "there was something else going on at school" and asked Bi Yangde to use force to suppress Zhang Zhichuang who wanted to resist, and rejected Lu You's invitation to stay for dinner.
Lu You politely argued with Gong Qing for a few rounds, and then reluctantly sent the three of them to the gate of the community.
"You really don't plan to stay for dinner?"
Gong Qing chuckled and said sarcastically, "Come on, we all live in the same dormitory, who are you pretending for?"
Lu You kept smiling and said calmly, "I don't know what you are talking about. I sincerely invite you to dinner."
Gong Qing chuckled twice, too lazy to argue with Lu You.
"Brother Lu."
Zhang Zhichuang stepped forward, hooked his arm around Lu You's shoulder, and asked, "Why don't you install split water? Wouldn't split water have a stronger heat dissipation capability?"
Lu You calmly pushed Zhang Zhichuang's arm away and replied, "It's troublesome to split the water. We have to cut the pipes and check the airtightness after that. We don't have time for that."
"Can't we ask an installer to come and install it?"
"The enjoyment of installing a computer lies in the installation process. I might as well ask my mother to send my computer to my house instead of asking an installer to come to my house."
"Makes sense."
"All right!"
Lu You pushed Zhang Zhichuang towards Gong Qing and the other man and said, "If you have anything else you want to talk about, we can talk again when I get back to the dormitory tomorrow night. That's all for today. See you tomorrow night."
"See you tomorrow night." x3
After watching the three people leave, Lu You turned around and returned to the community.
arrive home.
Lu You walked straight into the study and saw Tang Wan staring at his newly bought mechanical keyboard, with a few keycaps removed from the keyboard next to her.
"Is my keyboard blooming? Are you taking it so seriously?" Lu You walked up to Tang Wan and asked curiously.
Tang Wan pressed the exposed keyboard axis with her right index finger a few times and explained, "When I was unpacking the keyboard, didn't you say that keyboards are similar to computers and that you can buy accessories and DIY them yourself? I just want to study how to DIY it."
Lu You did not stop Tang Wan from exploring.
A keyboard bought for temporary use had no weight in his heart. Tang Wan could tinker with it as she pleased, and it didn't matter if she broke it.
Lu You pulled over an ergonomic chair and sat down. Looking at Tang Wan's focused profile, he smiled and said, "My beloved, I have a question I hope you can answer."
Tang Wan pulled off the keycap of another spacebar and replied without even looking up, "What's the problem?"
"I noticed that you have changed. You didn't have much interest in electronic products before. Why are you actively asking to learn about them now?"
Tang Wan paused for a moment, then said frankly: "I have recently realized a truth. Girlfriends can be roughly divided into two parts: women and friends. I am your girlfriend, which means that I am not only your woman, but also your friend.
As a woman, I think I have done a pretty good job except that I haven't given birth to a child for you yet. But as a friend, I am far behind. As for your hobbies, I know very little, and I am working hard to make up for it now."
Lu You never expected that Tang Wan would launch a sneak attack. Her straightforward and simple confession just hit the softest spot in his heart.
My heartbeat quickened uncontrollably, and strong emotions poured out of me like a fountain.
Lu You closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and after a long while, he finally calmed down his surging emotions and stabilized his pounding heart.
In view of the great touch brought by Tang Wan's confession, Lu You decided to give her a reward.
"My dear, shall we go shopping tonight?"
Tang Wan turned her head sharply and looked at Lu You, saying incredulously: "I didn't hear it clearly, can you say it again?"
"I say, do you want to go shopping together tonight?"
"Half an hour, or an hour?"
"As you wish, no time limit."
Tang Wan reached out and touched Lu You's forehead, then touched her own, frowning and said, "You don't have a fever, why are you suddenly talking nonsense?"
Lu You laughed silently and pinched Tang Wan's smooth face.
"Just tell me whether you're going or not? If you don't want to go, just pretend I didn't say anything!"
"Go, you must go!" Tang Wan replied quickly.
"Then change your clothes and leave immediately."
"I'll tell you in advance that you are not allowed to complain of being tired after walking a few steps, you are not allowed to take the opportunity to slack off when I'm trying on clothes, and you are not allowed to give me a perfunctory answer when I ask you if the clothes fit me."
"Uh... I'll try my best."
