Chapter 16 Cooking
Actually, I may not be this Pedro McEvoy at all, I am nothing. But some sound waves pass through my whole body, sometimes far away, sometimes strong, and all these dispersed echoes floating in the air condensed into me. - Patrick Modiano
"Outsider" and "Dark Shop Street". These are the two works that Sun Chengfeng finally selected.
First of all, whether it is "Outsider" or "Dark Shop Street", they are works that have won the Nobel Prize in Literature, and their value has been verified by history. Moreover, the themes of these two works are thinking about the eternal dilemma of human survival. After the release, you will not be questioned due to your experience and age. It is the best weight to make a promise.
In addition, Sun Chengfeng chose these two works because they were consistent with Sun Chengfeng's own experience, which made Sun Chengfeng's heart happy and finally made a choice.
Morso, the protagonist in "Outsider", has always maintained a distance from the public, completely following his inner nature, being an outsider who is cold-eyed and persevering. This is just like Sun Chengfeng, who just came to this world, has an indescribable indifference and barrier towards this world, and looks at this world coldly with the eyes of an outsider.
"Dark Shop Street" tells the story of the protagonist who suffered a disaster when he secretly crossed the border several years ago. After being extremely stimulated, his brain lost his memory of his past life. After being an assistant detective for private detective Yu Te for eight years, he wanted to explore his past and began to use detective technology to investigate his life experience and origin in the vast crowd.
But he could not know whether the many pieces collected through various clues were his life or the life of another person he impersonated. On the road of self-seeking, he gradually drifted away.
This is just like Sun Chengfeng, who came to this world at that time, while integrating the memories of his predecessor, he was also thinking hard about who he was and what identity he should live. While obtaining a lot of information, he became increasingly confused.
However, he is much luckier than the protagonist of "Dark Shop Street", because, several years ago, a cute little angel had already told him the answer. Thanks to her, Sun Chengfeng felt that every day of his life is very meaningful now.
"Then write "Dark Shop Street" first."
When Sun Chengfeng thought of Sun Chengwan, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He hesitated for a moment, but still wrote a sentence under the title:
"I would like to dedicate this book to my sister, the eternal angel in my heart."
The number of words in "Dark Shop Street" is not large, less than 150,000 words. Adding "The Outsider" with less than 70,000 words is only more than 200,000 words. It doesn't take much time for Sun Chengfeng, who owns a search engine.
But it was already late at night when Sun Chengfeng returned home. When he finished writing in one go, the sun had already set in the west and it was the next dusk.
Sun Chengfeng stretched, breathed a long sigh, and then sent "Dark Shop Street" and "Outsider" to Cao Cheng, asking him to arrange an emergency translation of the work as soon as possible.
The short list review of the Nobel Prize for Literature has ended at the end of May. Starting from June, all academicians' summer homework will be to read the works of five candidates on the short list. During this period, each judge also needs to write his own recommendation report separately.
The School of Literature will resume the meeting in mid-September and start the final election. The investigation on the recent situation of the "finalists" will also be completed within these three months. If the action is not fast, "Outsiders" and "Dark Shop Street" are likely to not enter the judges' vision.
At this time, Sun Chengfeng also felt a little regretful. Why did he spend two months free time on the crew? But it was not too late to fix the dead, and he could finally catch up. He had already done all the efforts he should have done, and the rest was left to fate.
In fact, as long as you are patient, the Nobel Prize in Literature will sooner or later be Sun Chengfeng's possession. But he still wants to win the Nobel Prize this year because he thinks that Cheng Wan will like this gift.
If you never forget it, there will be a resounding sound. Sun Chengfeng's mobile phone began to vibrate, which was Sun Chengwan's video invitation.
"Oh, what's wrong?"
Sun Chengfeng himself did not notice that his tone would be unconsciously gentle when facing Sun Chengwan.
"Oba, maybe, do you have time now?"
"Yes, what's wrong? Need help?"
Looking at Sun Chengwan's embarrassing expression and his silence, Sun Chengfeng suddenly had an unknown premonition.
"Then, Oppa, can you teach me how to make Sixi meatballs?"
After hearing the word "Sixi Ball" with a straight Chinese, Sun Chengfeng was still confused. After listening to Sun Cheng's explanation for a long time, Sun Chengfeng understood what was going on.
It turned out that in order to take care of the children, especially the young lady's body, Cao Cheng specially gave RedVelvet a day off. It happened that Bae Joo Hyun's sister came to Seoul today, and the sister would not come back until dinner.
So the remaining four people discussed doing it themselves and giving their elder sister a surprise. For this reason, they tried to force themselves and acted cutely and sent the nutritionist away, preparing to do something big. However, they chose Chinese food.
Hearing this, Sun Chengfeng's mouth twitched. According to the information he had, RedVelvet eliminated Pei Zhuxuan, and the remaining four, Jiang Shuqi, placed all their talents in diet on eating; Jin Yilin, a lover of dark cuisine and food short videos, and after the future "Yeri Food" was promoted on the show, I don't know how many people they poisoned; Park Soo-young, cooking is completely an action-oriented person, and everything is done, as for the consequences? After I finish it, even if the flood is over.
The highest-level one here is her sister, but because she usually cooks by herself at home, Sun Chengwan's main skills are ordered on desserts. Moreover, her German style, which is timely and quantitative, precisely controlled, is incompatible with the Chinese cuisine that can only be understood but not expressed in words.
Sun Chengfeng still remembers that when he was a child, Sun Chengwan looked at himself cooking and heard himself say "a little salt and a little oil", with a confused expression on his face.
"Are you sure you will challenge Sixi Maruko to come up?"
The entry-level scrambled eggs with tomatoes should actually surprise your captain. Although you can understand your mood, your choices can easily turn surprises into shocks...
After hearing his brother's words, Sun Chengwan could only smile embarrassedly and politely. Because he liked the dish made by Sun Chengfeng, Sun Chengwan said it casually when purchasing in the supermarket. As a result, he was strongly encouraged by Jiang Shuqi, who had been to China. Sun Chengwan's mind became like this when he was now.
"It's okay, listen to me, you have to..."
Seeing Sun Chengwan's expression that seemed to be ignorant after he finished speaking, Sun Chengfeng wanted to ride on the motorcycle to their dormitory now and do it directly.
You should know that Sun Chengfeng was a Chinese in his previous life, and he lived in many places in this life, and was very particular about food. His cooking skills were even recognized by many Michelin chefs. Unfortunately, he could not show up yet.
"Ohni, what are you doing? If Irene is not hurrying up, Irene will be back."
Jin Yilin walked towards Wendy holding the shovel and holding the phone, looking like she was ignorant and kept saying something in English. She was about to complain, but suddenly saw Sun Chengfeng on the screen.
The moment he saw Sun Chengfeng, Yankong Jin Yilin instantly changed into a smile mask called "Elegant", then pulled her apron, hid the shovel behind her back, and greeted her with a reserved look.
“Hi!eetyou, Oppa.”
"Hello, Yeri, I'm very happy to know you. I'm Sun Chengfeng."
Sun Chengfeng replied with a fluent Korean smile. In his previous life, although he was just a passerby fan of RedVelvet and the one he ate the most was Bae Joo-hyun's face, he really liked Yeri, the child.
Not only was he attracted by the blond Yeri's Disney princess-like feeling, but the child's grand and transparent character also made Sun Chengfeng appreciate it very much.
This is also why he insisted on letting Kim Ye-lin debut with the other four people even with Cao Sung's strange gaze and Lee Soo-man and Kim Young-min's speculation. Such a good child should be treated well by the world.
"Oni, go and cook quickly. I'll help you with your phone next to you, so that Oppa can guide you easily."
Yeri pushed Wendy to the front of the operating table before she could react, then stood beside her, holding her cell phone, and started chatting with Sun Chengfeng.
“Does Yeri still like the gifts I gave?”
"I like it very much! That limited-edition gaming console is super difficult to book. How did Oppa buy it?"
"It's not a big deal. If Yeri likes to play games, how about I give you a "Oasis" simulation server?"
"Qinjia? But will this be too troublesome to Oppa?"
Jin Yilin is not an ignorant child. Although she thinks Sun Chengfeng is handsome and warm and friendly to her, it is her first time meeting her, and she doesn't want to make Sun Sun Chengfeng embarrassed.
"It's okay, just be happy with Yeri."
"The No. 1 Player" produced by Spielberg and SSW has been released, and the virtual game universe "oasis" is also launched simultaneously in reality. What Sun Chengfeng mentioned is a must-have prop for entering the game.
The experience of this simulation server is much better than that of mass-produced simulators, so there are only 100 sets, and they only use the lottery method to send them to players. Yeri also participated in the lottery activity and was sad for losing the election a few days ago. Unexpectedly, the turnaround here is about to make a comeback.
As for the suspicion that Sun Chengfeng lied to her? Jin Yilin was not stupid. You can tell from the villa where Wendy Ou Ni lived that this Oppa is not an ordinary person. However, later she didn't expect that it was so unusual.
At this moment, Wendy fell into deep thoughts as she looked at her brother who was chatting happily with Jin Yilin, who was often reminded of her, and who was always laughing out loud.
