Chapter 121 Movie Day
She planned to spend the two consecutive days of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with movies.
There is a series of movies adapted from novels, with magical themes, telling various stories that happen in the magical world.
Originally, this movie had nothing to do with Christmas, but because several of them filmed Christmas scenes, the scenes were quite gorgeous and interesting because of the magical elements in the movie.
That's why she remembered this movie right after Christmas.
She made up her mind that apart from necessary ventilation and exercise, she would spend the rest of her time watching movies, watching them in total darkness.
The curtains were drawn again, the indoor light source was turned off, the projector was connected, and the viewing mode of the bed was adjusted. She got under the thin blanket and started watching the first movie.
This set of movie resources is the best one can find at present. Each movie is about 4 gigabytes in size and has k resolution. The audio track includes original sound and local dubbing. The most important thing is that the subtitles are all special effects subtitles.
It is also made very meticulously and beautifully, because it is set in a magical world, and each spell has its own special effects - for example, for a burning spell, the subtitles of the spell are added with fire effects based on the squiggle.
She started watching a set of movies in one sitting.
The bed was nice, but it was uncomfortable to sit for a long time. She would lean on it, sit for a while, lie down for a while, and look around in weird ways.
Movies are indispensable for snacks. Potato chips are thin in bags and thick in tubs. Fresh-cut and compound potato chips naturally have different textures and tastes. She took apart various flavors and ate them alternately between salty and sweet to achieve a perpetual motion of snacks.
Popcorn has been replicated in movie theaters in shopping malls. The caramel popcorn is still hot. There are also packaged commercial versions. Although it is not as crispy as freshly baked, it still has a different taste after being chilled in the refrigerator.
There are also crispy shrimp crackers and French fries, chocolate-coated biscuit sticks of various flavors, crispy cream-filled puff biscuits, crispy and sweet wafers of various flavors, snow cakes with solidified icing sugar on the surface...
Of course, salty snacks are also indispensable, such as bean rolls wrapped in delicious sauce, spicy sausages, braised quail eggs, and chicken feet with pickled peppers and bamboo shoot tips with pickled peppers that you can’t stop eating...
Not to mention soft egg yolk pie, crispy chocolate beans, soft Sachima, garlic green beans and crab roe and melon seeds; smooth jelly, various flavors of yogurt, rich ice cream, and fresh fruit cuts...
Wei Jiao's main contradiction now is the contradiction between endless snacks and having only one stomach.
Therefore, she couldn't help but sigh once again about the benefits of space. You can't finish the delicious food, it won't go bad if you leave it dry, and it won't get damp if you just take one bite and throw it away.
By the time it was time to have lunch, she had already started watching the second part. She didn't pause. She just found something from the space and ate while watching it. Anyway, her mouth was never idle, so she wasn't hungry.
After eating a mini bucket of seafood instant noodles, I also got a croissant sandwich. The bread was still hot, but the lettuce leaves, ham slices and cheese slices inside were all kept cold. It looked like they were just made. Copied.
I just finished watching two movies before it was time to exercise.
Lying on the bed with her body soft and hard, she went into the space to exercise, warmed up seriously, stretched and did Tai Chi, and then danced to an aerobics song along with the video on the tablet.
I have practiced with all the physical equipment, starting with electric batons, knives and shooting, and then the finger tiger, which I have become obsessed with recently.
After practicing for a few days, she could feel that her proficiency had improved. When hitting the sandbag, she could now punch without any effort and without hurting herself.
Of course, the finger tiger is a metal product after all. Although it can be held firmly without hurting the joints, after a set of punches and holding it tightly, there is a somewhat dull pain in the middle of the palm and fingers.
So when she rested and lay back on the bed, she continued to watch the third part, but she didn't eat for the time being. Instead, she applied some hand cream on her hands that had been soaked in hot water, and then they pinched and massaged each other for a while.
When it was time to have dinner, there was still half an hour left in the third part. She watched it for a while longer, selected a transition scene, paused the playback, and started planning her own Christmas dinner.
There are two days between Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. She is not particular about putting the big meal on Christmas Eve dinner. At this moment, she just wants to finish it quickly and watch a movie while eating. She is too lazy to search for the Christmas dinner in the self-media video library. What to eat.
So she arranged a red wine steak, a fried chicken leg, a fried asparagus, and a caramel pudding according to her memory and preferences.
If it was really cold and snowy outside like Christmas, it would still be appropriate to cook mulled wine, but now it was very hot, so she replaced it with red wine steak, and the drink was replaced by grape juice with grape ice balls.
...Why isn't it an alcohol-free alternative?
The fried chicken legs in the movie were "pile high in a hill". She ordered several portions from Goldfinger takeout, including oily, sweet and spicy pistol legs, sauce-covered fried chicken legs and crispy flour-dusted fried chicken legs, from bottom to top. They were also piled up.
Regarding desserts, she knows that traditional Christmas pudding is not a slippery dessert. The more common perception of "pudding" in China is that it is soft and jelly-like, but in foreign languages, it also means hot pastry. .
The traditional Christmas pudding...she prefers to call it Christmas cake. It is steamed with flour, eggs, butter, dried fruits and wine. It is eaten hot and is suitable for cold days like Christmas.
It wasn't cold now, and she didn't think she could eat it, so she changed it to egg pudding with a caramel crispy shell on the surface.
She didn't stop talking much all day, and she wasn't really hungry. She set up a table on the bed and continued to watch the movie while cutting the steak. I only had a few bites of the steak, and then I switched to the prepared chicken drumstick tower. I tried one of each flavor, but didn't eat too much.
She actually ate a lot of fried asparagus, maybe she was tired of eating too much meat.
Finally, I had pudding, which I redeemed from the cake baking game. The caramel layer on the surface was thin and crispy, and it fell into pieces when I tapped it lightly with an iron spoon. The soft and smooth pudding was rich in egg flavor, plus it was burnt. The texture surprise provided by the crushed sugar makes it a great after-dinner dessert.
After dinner, I finished watching the third part. She walked into the space to eat, and then continued watching the fourth part when she came back.
The tone of this series of movies slowly changed from this one. The first part was mainly whimsical and magical fantasy, and then it started to become heavier.
After watching this movie, there was still more than an hour before bedtime, which was not enough to watch a whole movie, and she preferred to watch something relaxing before going to bed, so she turned off the projector and stopped watching, and went to take a bath first.
The hair has not been shaved for a while and has grown quite a bit. Now it is densely covered on the head, like a thin helmet.
After taking a shower, she hesitated for a moment, then looked in the mirror, pushed her hair short again, and snored before going back to bed.
