Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

"Come on, come on, some cold cucumber and carrot salad"

At dinner the next day, Xiu Gu started to prepare a salad under Xiang Lan's guidance. The boss saw that the two dishes served were both vegetarian, so he asked in confusion: "Dad, today is Guanyin's birthday? Why are we eating vegetarian food?"

"Who said we're vegetarian?" The maid brought up another dish, "Tofu shreds mixed with pork head."

"Pig head meat?" Big Brother Guang and A Yao looked carefully and didn't see any pork. The old man simply flipped it over with chopsticks and said, "Hey, isn't this a pig ear?"

"Come on, here comes the sashimi." Xianglan brought the last dish and praised, "I just tried it in there, it's delicious."

Normally, Kang Qirui would not have a strong opinion on what to eat, but this sashimi was really strange, and it was very different from the sashimi he had eaten before. So he frowned and asked, "What kind of sashimi is this?"

"Grass carp!" Xianglan took off her apron and sat down and said.

Kang Qirui frowned even more. Although Shunde sashimi is also made with grass carp, it is sliced ​​thinly, while the grass carp sashimi in front of him is sliced ​​thicker than salmon sashimi. "Is this okay?" He scratched his head.

The old man nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "It's all done, let's eat." Then he saw Diana walk in, and said with a smile, "Diana is back."

When Diana saw the sashimi on the table, her eyes lit up and she said happily, "Wow, there is sashimi? I bought some vegetables too." She handed a bag to Xiu Gu.

"No way? You are planning to eat this minced beef raw?" The boss was shocked.

Diana was even more surprised than him. "Are you planning to eat it raw? Is that okay?" Although she was an American, she had never eaten a completely raw steak. She really couldn't say whether this uncooked beef mince could be eaten raw.

Kang Qirui simply could not accept raw beef. He shook his head solemnly and said, "Xiu Gu, please cook this beef." He always ordered well-done steak when he ate it outside. Although he would occasionally receive some unfriendly looks, he always felt that apart from well-done, the degree of doneness served had nothing to do with your request, so he just did it as you pleased.

For example, if you order a medium-well, how does the chef make sure it is cooked exactly medium well? And why is medium well not medium well?

After dinner, Kang Qirui and Zhu Wanling took Kang Siqi out for a walk. Da Laoguang returned to the room and said to Xianglan who was folding clothes: "Wife, my shoes are broken, can you accompany me to buy a new pair later?"

"You're not kidding, are you? A pair of shoes is ruined in three months?" Xianglan said with disgust.

"Oh, I have to purchase goods and walk around the store to greet customers every day. I walk so much every day. It's good enough if a pair of shoes only wears out after three months." Da Lao Guang said helplessly.

Xianglan exhaled, nodded, and said, "Okay, then go take a shower quickly. If you come back to take a shower, you will have to queue up. Go quickly."

When the eldest brother went to take a shower, he happened to see the second brother and A Yao also taking a shower. After the renovation, the Kang family mansion had three bathrooms, so the three brothers went to take a shower at almost the same time. But when the eldest brother finished taking a shower, Xianglan took over and came out, the second brother had not finished yet.

"Dad, the notice you posted is of no use. Er Lao has been in there for 20 minutes and hasn't come out yet." A Yao, who had finished showering a long time ago, seized the opportunity and pulled Dad to the bathroom to complain about Er Lao.

"No way?" The old man was skeptical. He knocked on the bathroom door and said, "A Zong, A Zong, you poor boy, come out!"

A few minutes later, the second brother opened the bathroom door.

"Are you kidding me? It took him half an hour to come out." A Yao said darkly.

"What's wrong with half an hour?" asked the second brother righteously.

A Yao pointed at the notice that Lao Dou had posted on the door of each bathroom and said, "We passed it at the meeting last night. Men take five minutes and women take ten minutes." Er Lao thought for a few seconds and said, "I do what the paper says. I wash once a week, five minutes each time, so that's thirty-five minutes a week."

A Yao and Lao Dou were both shocked. "Is it okay for you to say that? Then don't take a shower tomorrow, no, for the next week."

Er Lao glanced at A Yao and didn't bother to answer him. He went straight back to his room. Let's talk about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow. It's okay as long as today is over.

Kang Qirui and Zhu Wanling came back from a walk, and nobody was taking a shower. So they went to take a shower. After Kang Qirui finished, he checked the time, 7 minutes. He shrugged, thinking it didn't matter if it was overtime, he could just take a quicker shower tomorrow.

At this time, Da Lao Guang and Xiang Lan also came back from shopping. The night at the end of June was still very hot. Da Lao Guang was fat and easy to sweat. He was sweating all over after buying a pair of shoes. He wanted to take another shower, but he didn't dare to because of his father's strict rules.

"Husband, didn't you often take cold showers when you were in the countryside? If you take cold showers, you won't be restricted by time." Xianglan gave him some advice when she saw him sweating profusely.

The boss was delighted when he heard it, and said with a smile: "Yeah, why didn't I think of that, hahaha. In fact, I often took cold showers even in winter in the countryside. Now it's so hot, taking cold showers is even more comfortable, haha."

He took his clothes and ran to take a shower. When he was taking a comfortable shower, his second sister-in-law came to the dining room to get some water. She heard the noise coming from the bathroom. She leaned against the door and listened for a while before muttering to herself, "Oh my god, my uncle and his wife are not in there. Oh, don't be so loud, my uncle, there are so many children in the house."

"Achan, what's wrong? Are you waiting to take a shower?" The nanny also came to the dining room at this time.

"How is that possible? There's no one in the bathroom next door." Kang Qirui followed the mother into the dining room. They were originally chatting in the patio garden and came over when they heard the noise here.

The second sister-in-law took two steps towards the maid Kang Qirui, and then she said softly, "Uncle and his wife are bathing together, Yin Gong."

"You are talking nonsense, second sister-in-law. How can the eldest brother and his wife be so romantic?" Kang Qirui shook his head slowly and said. The second sister-in-law was not convinced. She said, "You can be romantic, but why can't the husband and wife be romantic?"

"I'm not saying that Big Brother isn't romantic... I'm saying that Big Brother's personality isn't that romantic, right?" Kang Qirui felt that he still understood Big Brother Guang. As soon as he finished speaking, Big Brother Guang came out singing a song with a cheerful look on his face. He was so excited that he didn't even pay attention to Kang Qirui and the others, and walked straight past them and returned to his room.

"Look, the eldest sister-in-law is so scared that she doesn't dare to come out." said the second sister-in-law.

Kang Qirui glanced at her and said, "Then you call her out." Hearing this, the second sister-in-law walked to the bathroom door and looked inside, but there was no one inside. "Why is there no one? What is your boss doing in there alone?" She scratched her head.

Kang Qirui also came over and said, "Boss, you must be taking a cold shower, so you feel good, right?" He didn't feel any heat in the bathroom.

He thought about it, returned to the room and said to Zhu Wanling: "Shall we go to the mall tomorrow?"

"Okay." Zhu Wanling agreed first, and then asked, "What are you going to buy?"

Before Kang Qirui could answer, Kang Siqi was the first to shout, "Buy Ultraman!" Kang Qirui touched his daughter's head lovingly and said, "I'll buy it for you."

Then he turned to Zhu Wanling and continued, "Gas is expensive now. Dad is reluctant to use it, and I think mom is reluctant to use it either. So I thought about looking at solar water heaters and electric water heaters."

"Okay!" Zhu Wanling nodded.

The two went to the mall the next day, but in the end Kang Qirui did not buy a solar water heater or an electric water heater, but instead bought an air-energy water heater.

When they were choosing, they told the salesperson about their needs. The salesperson thought it was not cost-effective for the Kang family to buy an electric water heater for so many people. The air-energy water heater has a large capacity. If one is installed, not only can all three bathrooms use hot water, but also hot water pipes can be installed for the wash basin and wash basin.
