Time into July, the earth is still the day.

The "international police" in North America are clamoring all day long to whip whomever they want, who is being beaten, who is about to be beaten, and who will be beaten in the future.

Europe is tormented by the mystery of "Angel's Tears", and people die every day, but there are originally dead people every day, and it is completely insignificant to have a few more.

Africa is still fighting back and forth, not fighting for a day and uncomfortable for a day, looking down on life and death, and doing it if you don't accept it.

China and even the whole of Asia are relatively calm, after all, the source of turmoil "Angel's Tears" was sold to the French in exchange for 100 million euros in cash, and now it is also a matter for Europeans to lose it, the source was originally in the flea market in Paris, France, but no one came to Li Bai's trouble.

Compared to the value of "Angel's Tears", 100 million euros is nothing.

Saturday, Nawry Sue's birthday.

In the same unit, those who come together are friends, and those who don't get together are colleagues.

Friends are also divided into ordinary friends and good friends with deep friendships, the little nurse Su Mei and Li Bai have always had a good relationship, and they personally invited him to participate in the birthday celebration, obviously putting him in the circle of good friends.

Throughout a person's life, the number of ordinary friends can be hundreds or thousands, but there are always only a few good friends, and some are even only in the single digits.

Li Bai carried a well-packaged gift box and came to the community where Su Mei's house was located.

Because it is an old community, there was no planned parking space when it was originally designed, and there was not much greenery, and it was not convenient to park, so he did not drive over, but chose to take a taxi.

Ding-dong!

The doorbell rings.

The laughter of young girls in the room stopped abruptly, and the security door was quickly pushed open.

It was not Su Mei who opened the door, but a young girl. "Li Bai, you're here!"

"Ding Yun, you're early!"

Li Bai recognized her, she was also a nurse on the fourth floor of the outpatient department, it was three o'clock in the afternoon, but she didn't expect the other party to come earlier than herself.

"We came here in the morning, and we walked around outside, where's the gift?"

Ding Yun was joking, her eyes looked curiously at the big paper bag in Li Bai's hand, which seemed to be quite small.

I wondered if it was an interesting knick-knack, a fine porcelain, or something else.

"Here!"

Li Bai raised his hand and gestured to the thick paper bag.

"Li Bai, come in quickly! Xiaoyun, don't let mosquitoes in, don't pay so much attention, even if it's empty-handed, I'm welcome!"

Su Mei's voice came from the room, and she walked from the kitchen to the living room with a fruit bowl.

The bowl contains dragon fruit, cantaloupe and melon cuts, and a few slim stainless steel fruit forks stuck in it.

"It's rude to be empty-handed, and you have to bring some heart. ”

Li Bai changed his slippers at the door, and the Su family specially prepared a pair of new plus-size slippers for him, which he could recognize at a glance.

"Is it Ah Mei's colleague? Please come in, please come in!"

Su Mu, who was busy in the kitchen, poked her head out of the kitchen wearing a purple apron and looked Li Bai up and down with a smile.

"Hello aunt!"

Li Bai greeted him with kindness, and he noticed that there was some scrutiny in the other party's gaze.

"Hey, the young man is very good, sit down, Ah Mei, entertain your colleagues. ”

Su Mu went back to the kitchen and continued to prepare dinner.

"Come and sit, Dr. Lee!"

"There's a place here!"

There were two other young girls on the couch, both colleagues from the Seventh People's Hospital, who beckoned to Li Bai and pointed to a single sofa.

The TV set hanging on the wall is playing a soap opera of young men and women tearing apart, because of historical nihilism, many films have been killed, and now there are only a few categories that can be watched.

"Where's the present?"

Li Bai walked over and looked at Su Mei's home at the same time.

It is a typical two-bedroom and a living room, with an area of about sixty or seventy square meters, located on the sixth floor of the multi-storey, there is a floor on the top, although the floor is a little higher, but the house type is not bad, it is a two-bedroom south-facing, the kitchen and bathroom hall have a window on the east side of the all-bright house, not the kind of strange pattern, it is rare in the old house.

"Just put it there. ”

Su Mei was arranging the plate, and he couldn't spare his hands for a while, so he pointed to the side of the sofa, where some things had been placed, like a big cloth bear wrapped in a large transparent plastic bag, and several other exquisite gifts, obviously birthday gifts from colleagues, not very expensive things, at most a few hundred yuan, very suitable for human relations like today.

"Okay, happy birthday!"

Li Bai put the paper bag over, right next to the big cloth bear that was more than one person tall.

"Thank you, Dr. Lee, come, eat the fruit, I just peeled, and grapes, cherries, and apples. ”

Su Mei cleaned up the coffee table a little and greeted Li Bai warmly.

Everyone is familiar with each other's friends and colleagues, and there is not so much exquisiteness, when people arrive, just put the gifts together, where is the practice of the ancient big families still roll the name and report the gift.

Sitting down on the sofa, Li Bai asked, "Su Mei, have you ordered the birthday cake?"

Eastern and Western cultures invade each other, and now ordinary people celebrate their birthdays, always like to order a big cream cake, light candles, and then make a wish to blow out the candles.

Cream cakes have a short shelf life, and there are almost no stocks in stock, so you basically need to book in advance.

"Of course I ordered, I went to order it with Su Mei, the twelve inches of two layers, it is definitely enough to eat. ”

Ding Yun returned to the sofa and began to giggle with his colleagues again, and took the time to answer Li Bai's questions.

"Yikes!"

Su Mu's exclamations suddenly came from the kitchen, and there was the sound of gasping for air.

Su Mei, who was chatting with her colleagues, changed her face and hurriedly got up and ran into the kitchen.

"Mom, why are you so careless, hold it down first, I'll go find a band-aid. ”

Su Mei ran out in a panic and went straight into the bedroom.

"What's wrong, Ah Mei?"

"What happened?"

Ding Yun and other colleagues asked.

"My mom got a cut on her finger with a kitchen knife, but it wasn't too serious. ”

Su Mei ran out with a white family medicine box printed with a red cross printed on it.

Because it is a nurse's profession, this family medicine box looks quite formal, although the sparrow is small but has all kinds of organs, and there are basically everything that the family should have.

"Shall we help out?"

The girls present were full of nurse skills and expertise, and they were the best at dealing with small wounds, and they were not even skilled in wound suturing, so they were naturally not in a hurry.

Several girls worked together, debridement, hemostasis, bandaging, and soon dealt with Su's mother's thumb accidentally cut by a kitchen knife.

The band-aid was also not used, but the wound was sealed with white powder and then bandaged with gauze, which was more effective than the band-aid and was stronger and more breathable.

"Thank you!"

Su's mother smiled and gave birth to a nurse's daughter, which came in handy at this time.

"You're welcome, it's a piece of cake. ”

As if doing a trivial thing, the girls are back on the couch.

Su Mei stayed, she also had to assist her mother to clean up the dishes to be used at night, vegetables to be cleaned and leaves, meat dishes to be seasoned and flavorful, the Su family made a lot of preparations for their daughter's birthday.

"Want to help?"

Li Bai stood at the door of the kitchen, looking at Su Mei frowning, clumsily holding the kitchen knife.

At first glance, he knew that he was a guy who could eat or cook, and the hob pieces of carrots were cut into different sizes, which was not aesthetic, and his obsessive-compulsive disorder was about to attack.

Even Su's mother is helpless, she can go to the hall, but she can't enter the kitchen, and if she gets married in the future, it is estimated that it will be a very sad thing, and she can't order takeout every day!

"Eh, Dr. Li, just sit down, I can handle it!"

Su Mei turned his head, sweating profusely and smiling, but the smile was very reluctant.

The kitchen knife was always shaking unobediently in her hand, and several times she almost cut herself, and she had to press on the thing she wanted to cut first, and then work harder.

But how can you cut the sturdy ingredients like this?

"Hey, that's it, pull it down!"

Li Bai shook his head, came to the edge of the pool, first pressed a little dish soap and rinsed his hand, and then snatched the kitchen knife from Su Mei's hand.

Su's mother didn't say anything, stood aside and watched with a smile as Li Bai snatched the kitchen knife, squeezed her daughter away, and occupied the cutting board.

With a slight shake of his hand, the ordinary stainless steel kitchen knife let out a cheerful groan, and a dazzling knife light was like a bright moon in the kitchen.

Sincere!

Obviously, there was only one sound, and the whole carrot cracked into neat angular hob pieces.

Su Mei mother and daughter were dumbfounded.

"Huh?"

Su Mei exclaimed in surprise and stammered, "You, what kind of knife technique are you?"

She didn't see anything clearly except for the fleeting flash of the knife, and the carrot was cut.

"Kitchen knife method, no other, only familiar with the hand!"

Li Bai dragged a sentence from "The Oil Seller" in passing.

"Ancestral, right?"

Su Mu was smiling when she ate, she definitely couldn't learn such a skill in cooking school.

"My aunt has good eyesight, I learned it from my mother, and she cooks very deliciously. ”

When it comes to cooking, Li Bai only serves his mother, and he is good at all the eight major cuisines.

As for Lao Li, he can only make noodles, he can't even cook braised pork, he deserves to eat Yangchun noodles every day, even if he can fry a dry powder, he won't be so miserable.

With a twist of the wrist, the knife noodles drove the carrot pieces directly into the bowl next to them, and none of them rolled out, and the whole movement was crisp and neat, as if there was an indescribable beauty.

Pick up another washed carrot, the knife flashes again, and it is a hob block on a cutting board.

Li Bai is a master, looked at the meat on the side, and asked, "There is beef, there are carrots, is it carrot braised beef?"

Meat dishes need to be processed in advance, so most of the meat on the sides of the cutting board has already been preliminarily seasoned.

"Yes, Dr. Li, let me come!"

Su Mei looked embarrassed, where is there a reason to let the guests do it.

Su Mu said: "Xiao Li, it's up to you to see your craftsmanship today." ”

As soon as the connoisseur made a move, he knew if there was one, Su Mu saw Li Bai's neat and neat use of the knife, and with a peep at the leopard, she could roughly guess that the other party's cooking skills were far above her as a housewife.
