002. Friends talk
Sun Gang walked into the company, came to his booth, and placed his backpack next to the computer monitor.
"Hi, Sun Gang, you guys are in good weather these days. Is your spring here?" Wen Le, who was in the same department as Sun Gang, joked teasingly. He lay on the baffle of Sun Gang's booth and looked at him curiously.
Sun Gang's company is an e-commerce company, and they are all so-called IT people.
When talking about IT men on the Internet, many people will automatically add to the following images: greasy hair, black-framed wine bottle bottoms, unscathed eyes, unshaven beard, dark coats and sneakers, and always carrying computer bags. They either go overtime or work overtime.
In fact, some of the IT men in life are a bit unkempt, but they are actually very interesting in life. They usually stay at home to play games without working overtime, go out to climb mountains on weekends, and occasionally travel with backpacks on whims. In short, they say: light home, low-key trend.
"You look like spring, I've been single for many years..." Sun Gang and Wenle have a good relationship, so they can joke unscrupulously.
This is also a fact. Sun Gang has been drinking space water these days and ate vegetables produced in space, and his complexion is much better than before.
Modern office workers have some common diseases. Due to irregular diet, sitting for a long time, facing the computer, etc., it causes shoulder and neck pain, mild myopia, insomnia, fatty liver, obesity, indigestion, and mental loss.
Since Sun Gang got the ring space, his face was rosy and he could no longer see the slightly yellow face that he was not able to rest. And he felt that his body was much lighter.
"Recently, I have rested very early every day, and I get up in the morning and go to exercise again..." Sun Gang turned on the computer.
"Take you down, are you exercising? The sun is coming out from the west..." Wen Le looked disdainful.
During lunch time, Sun Gang, with the help of his aunt in the company, heated the leftovers from last night in the microwave.
"Sun Gang, why do you eat so vegetarian?" In the department conference room, several male and female colleagues who brought meals were having dinner at the table.
Sun Gang's lunch box contains the fried cabbage and vegetarian fried three shreds left last night, and cut green peppers and red white radish into shreds. The color is bright, which is truly "color, fragrance, and taste".
"I have lost weight recently and have changed to vegetarian food." Sun Gang comfortably picked up a chopstick and shredded radish and put it into his mouth. Living alone, you don't need to be too picky.
"Come on, I'll give you a piece of ribs, give me some cabbage, I'll bring less vegetables." A female colleague picked up a few cabbage leaves from Sun Gang's lunch box.
"Yeah, it's delicious." After the female colleague swallowed it, she felt the fragrance of her lips and teeth, and the cabbage was soft and tender and smooth, so she immediately took a bite. The other people saw that she tasted so delicious, so they also came to taste it.
"Don't rob, what's the thing? I haven't eaten much yet." Seeing the chopsticks of several people stretching into their lunch box, Sun Gang quickly covered the lunch box.
"Sun Gang, I didn't expect that you have good skills. The masters cook so deliciously. How can you let us feel sorry for you?" Another female colleague looked at her face.
"You can eat it every day if you marry him." Wenle joked about her.
"Get out, if you don't joke, you will be depressed," Sun Gang looked at the girl's face and quickly lowered his head and ate it into his mouth.
I feel happy physically and mentally, and I don’t feel tired all day long. It’s very different from before. I felt very tired when I got off work and my body was always in a sub-health state.
I have been very energetic in recent days, and I feel like I can't use all my strength, and I am particularly efficient in doing things.
Anyway, it was a good thing, and Sun Gang would not bother him too much. He struck while the iron was hot and finished what he had. When he got off work, he could go home on time.
"Go to your house to have a meal tonight, don't buy vegetables, I have a lot of them at home." He stood up and stretched his arms, and instructed Wenle, who was sitting opposite him.
"Okay, come here early." Wenle was busy now and didn't raise his head.
Wenle's family lives in the community opposite to the urban village where Sun Gang is located. He bought his house and his family paid the down payment to prepare for them to get married. His girlfriend was sent by the company and lived alone for the time being. Sun Gang often went to his house for free.
It was rare to have to work overtime. Sun Gang walked out of the company in a happy mood. When he got home, he took a few kilograms of each vegetable in the space and went to Wenle's house.
"The vegetables you brought look quite fresh, there are such fresh dishes at night." Wen Le asked in confusion as if they had just picked vegetables, with water droplets on them.
"A relative of me sells vegetables nearby. He sent them to my house in the morning. When he just came, he drank some water and looked fresh." Sun Gang defended guiltily that the vegetables sold in the vegetable market were basically all goods purchased in the morning, and most of them were dying at this time. What Sun Gang brought was just picked from the space, which must be very fresh. It seems that we should pay attention to this issue in the future.
Wenle just said this casually, but it shocked Sun Gang to sweat coldly.
Soon he simply fryed a few dishes and served them.
"The dish you brought is really good. It tastes much better than the vegetables I bought in the past." Wenle picked up the dishes and fed the beer.
"That's because your cooking skills have improved," Sun Gang's eyes flashed, but Wenle didn't notice it.
"Is that true?" Wenle did not continue to worry about this question.
"Hey! I've been in the company for several years, and I have no achievements. My health has been ruined. If this continues..." The two gradually talked about the topic to work.
Sun Gang took a sip of wine in depression and said self-deprecatingly, "Yes, I got nothing except illness and belly fat in the company. You are fine, you have a house and a wife, so don't worry..."
"I am now a slave. After paying my mortgage loan, water and electricity, and buying oil, rice, instant noodles every month, I found that I was a white-collar worker again this month." Since Wenle bought a house, he has lost much less outdoor activities.
"That's better than me, the 'three-no' staff." No house, no car, no wife, is a typical "three-no" staff in the city now. Sun Gang is also one of them.
"Okay, let's not talk about these depressing topics, come and drink, drink." The two of them drank slightly. Sun Gang returned to the house he rented alone, washed and slept, and said nothing all night.
The next morning, before six o'clock, Sun Gang woke up and slept for only five or six hours, but he did not feel sleepy, and was very clear-headed and energetic.
While it was still early, I cleaned up a small cabinet at home and brought it into the space to put things in.
Sun Gang dug several small pools with shovels around the pool, and placed crucian carp, grass carp and shrimp in one of the small pools. After the others were prepared, they raised crabs, eels and other fish. By the way, they threw some cabbage leaves and leftover rice in the pool.
As soon as the cabbage leaves fell into the water, the grass carp quickly gathered over and rushed downstream, causing waves to ripples. The white and tender mouths opened and closed, which were so cute. The leftover rice leaked was picked up by the crucian carp at the bottom of the pond for food. Seeing the fish scrambled to eat, Sun Gang's face showed a gratified smile.
After feeding the fish, looking at the tomato seedlings about half a foot tall in the field of planting tomatoes, Sun Gang thought that he would buy some iron wire sticks to put on the shelf for the tomatoes when he had time.
Generally speaking, the branches of the fresh tomatoes we eat are relatively long. When the tomato seedlings grow to a certain height, they have to set up racks and hang ropes for them to make the branches cling.
Tomatoes cannot touch the ground because they will easily get sick and break down when they touch the ground, and cannot be picked. So this is a must-have.
It was already past 8 o'clock in the morning after tidying up the space. After washing up, Sun Gang walked to work. The company only had three bus stops away from its residence, and it was about 30 minutes' walk away.
Sun Gang was thinking about the problem of building a shelf for Tomatoes. After work, he ran to the hardware store to buy some steel wire and wooden sticks, and prepared to build a shelf for Tomatoes.
When Sun Gang was a child, he farmed for a living at home. He had basically done all these jobs, and soon he set up several rows of shelves. He gently tied the branches of tomatoes to the shelves with thin ropes.
What made Sun Gang strange was that crops in the space could bear fruit without pollination, which overturned what he learned from middle school students. However, in the future, he would have to pack bees in his hometown. The space had a good source of honey, so that he could drink honey himself. I believe that the honey produced in the space would definitely taste sweeter and more fragrant.
I caught a crucian carp from the space pool, jumping around. When I put it in a few days ago, I was only the size of a palm, but now it is about the same length as a chopstick. I believe that there will be many big fish to eat in the future.
Then again, the fish grows fast, but I don’t know what the taste will be. If the taste doesn’t work, it doesn’t matter how fast it grows.
Nowadays, the fish on the market have less fishy smell, only the earthy smell. What Sun Gang misses the most is the wild fish from his hometown when he was a child, which has a good taste and a fishy smell.
I made a braised crucian carp, which made Sun Gang salivate his mouth. There was a faint fragrance lingering between his tongue, and a faint fishy smell, which was almost negligible.
