Chapter 14: The Master Cheats
When she opened her eyes again, she saw Ning Meng holding a wine bottle in front of her. The painter was a little confused, but he took it anyway.
When Mingxi saw the familiar bottle, he knew that Ning Meng was playing tricks again, but he just couldn't help laughing.
Ning Meng said matter-of-factly: "This bottle is a special rice wine, and it is also immortal wine. When you go back, drink this when you want to drink, and when you're done, your kids will come back. ”
"Does it really work?"
"You have to believe, the power of believing. ”
"Good. ”
After the painter left, Ning Meng took a deep breath and said, "Mingxi, how is it, do I have the taste of a shopkeeper?
"Yes. ”
Ning Meng saw that Mingxi was not in a high mood, so she called Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai and asked, "Hey, do you think he is unhappy?"
"Yes, meow. ”
"Why?"
"Probably because you don't need Myeong-hee's help, he's upset, meow. ”
"It's because you forgot to get paid, Wang. ”
Ning Meng then remembered that she was patronizing and pretending to be cool just now, and completely forgot about the reward. She touched Mingxi with her elbow and said, "Don't be angry, next time I will remember to ask for a reward." ”
Myung-hee ignored her.
Ning Meng said: "Why were you demoted back then? Isn't it fun to be a fairy?"
"You have to take care of it!"
"Okay, okay, I won't mess with you. Shall I take you to eat hot pot?"
"Hot pot?"
"Didn't you say that you have lived in the world for more than 2,000 years? ”
"Of course I do. ”
In the blink of an eye, Kung Fu Mingxi changed his outfit and said, "Let's go." ”
Ning Meng saw him like a star coming out of a magazine, and said, "Mingxi, it's very handsome to dress up like this, but we're just going to eat a hot pot, isn't this kind of dress a little too grand?"
Mingxi thought for a while and said, "Is it going to be like this?" and said that he changed back to his usual fairy spirit.
"Forget it, it's still the same as just now. ”
Xiao Hei explained: "Lord Mingxi rarely goes to the streets of humans, especially in the past 20 years since Lord Cherry left, he has been in the Worry Relief House, so he has learned the dress of modern people from here, Meow." He said, pointing to a fashion magazine.
Ning Meng thought to herself, this taste is really high.
Ning Meng said: "Mingxi, you can help me change a set, oh, this is not bad." ”
Mingxi said: "My clothes are not changed, they are bought. If you have this in your closet, I can help you get it. ”
Ning Meng thought that she could catch Mingxi this time, but she didn't expect Mingxi to be on the set at all, so she said, "I'm just talking, let's go eat hot pot." Little Black and Little White also go. ”
Xiao Hei was overjoyed, took Ning Meng's hand and left, but Xiao Bai had a cold look, just like Ming Xi. Four people walked down the street and had a high rate of turning heads. People are secretly praising Mingxi's appearance and dress, and some people even took out their mobile phones to take pictures.
Mingxi frowned and did not speak.
Xiao Hei said: "As long as Lord Mingxi goes on the street, the people on the street will stare at him like this, so Lord Mingxi doesn't like to go on the street, meow." ”
Ning Meng thought about why he didn't do this when he took him to buy vinegar before, so he asked, "Is it like this every time you go out?"
"Well, unless Lord Mingxi uses immortal magic to hide the aura on his body, so that others will treat him as a little transparent, meow. ”
"Is this immortal art very troublesome?"
"No, meow. ”
Ning Meng seemed to have guessed Mingxi's thoughts, and deliberately said: "Mingxi Mingxi, if you don't like people to look at you, why don't you use that immortal technique that hides the aura, is it possible that you want to deliberately earn a return rate?"
"Hmph. ”
Mingxi is often so angry and cold, Ning Meng has long been used to it. I thought to myself that Mingxi is a handsome guy anyway, and he won't suffer a loss when he takes it out, and besides, he is about to eat hot pot, who will have trouble with delicious hot pot?
Ning Meng usually eats Jiugongge, but she didn't know Mingxi's taste, so she ordered a mandarin duck pot. The dishes are all on the list, and Ning Meng said: "Come on, come on, let's eat." ”
When Bai and Hei heard this, they picked up the raw meat and sashimi and stuffed them into their mouths. Ning Meng hurriedly stopped: "Wait a minute, you have to cook it before you can eat it, otherwise there will be parasites." ”
Although Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai didn't understand what a parasite was, since it was Ning Meng's order, they had to obey it, and they put down their chopsticks one after another.
Ning Meng thought, fortunately they still know how to use chopsticks, otherwise these two children will be laughed at when they are brought out. Ning Meng demonstrated the correct way to eat hot pot to a few people and said, "Oh, that's it." When cooked, stick to the sauce and eat it again. It's a lot more delicious. ”
Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai tried it like Ning Meng, and it was much better than eating raw meat.
Although Mingxi is a fairy, he rarely walks on the street, and when he sees the hot pot, he feels novel, and he can't help but try it. The taste is really good.
Ning Meng saw that the corners of his mouth curved out of a good-looking arc, and said, "You look so good when you smile, smile more in the future." ”
When Mingxi heard this, he immediately restrained his smile and put on a serious look again.
Ning Meng said: "It's not that I want to educate you as a boss, but it's really a bit too much to say that you have lived in the world for thousands of years and don't know how to eat hot pot." Usually take the children out for a walk, or the children are not knowledgeable and are ridiculed, and you are to blame as a parent. ”
"They are squires. ”
"Don't be so ruthless, I think they're cute, a cute little girl, a cute little boy, isn't it. ”
"Yes, meow. Xiao Hei said and rubbed Ning Meng's arm. Although Xiaobai didn't speak, a blush appeared on his round face.
Mingxi reluctantly agreed: "Okay, whatever you say is what you say." As he spoke, he picked up another piece of meat and put it in his mouth, thinking, this thing is quite delicious. Looking at the scene in front of me again, it feels quite familiar, as if I have never seen it again, as if I had also had the experience of going out to eat like this more than 2,000 years ago, but I can't remember it clearly.
Mingxi remembered the scene in the Worry Relief House just now, and asked, "What you gave to that painter just now was not wine or vinegar, can't she drink it when she goes back?"
Ning Meng said: "What if you drink it? I told her that it was immortal wine, and the taste of immortal wine was of course different. ”
"What if she doesn't drink it?"
"She has a strong desire to get her baby back, and of course she will drink. And not only will I drink it, but I will definitely drink it, and when I finish drinking, I will bring a pair of works. ”
"And then?"
"Then we'll talk about it then. ”
Mingxi showed a little loss on his face, it seems that Ning Meng really doesn't need him to handle things well.
Ning Meng said again: "When the time comes, it is indispensable that you appear, and without you in the future, this task will not be completed." ”
"Really?"
"Of course, when did I lie to you?" Seeing that the cups and plates were already in disarray, Ning Meng said, "Are the children full?"
"Well, meow (Wang). ”
"Okay, Xiaobai, check out. ”
Xiaobai looked confused: "Why me?" ”
Ning Meng was even more confused and said, "Don't think I don't know, you are in charge of the expenses of the Worry Relief House." Of course, you'll be the one to pay the bill. ”
"But Boss Meng obviously said to bring us over to eat hot pot...... Woof. ”
"So, I brought you here, and I didn't say I wanted a treat. Besides, the Anxiety House is my only business, and of course all expenses are paid for by the Worry House. ”
"But...... Woof. ”
"It's not that much, just do it. Okay, let's go first, Xiaobai has to hurry up and keep up. ”
Xiao Hei took Ning Meng's hand and jumped out, and Xiao Baisheng looked at Mingxi without love.
Mingxi said: "She is right, you should indeed settle the bill." As he spoke, he also walked away with Ning Meng.
Half a month later, the painter took his works to Ning Meng's house. This time she came in no longer hoarse, and seemed much better.
Ning Meng said: "I thought you would take longer." ”
"I thought it would take me a long time," said the painter, "but now it seems that it won't take that long." I started working on this work when I was pregnant, but I never finished it. After drinking the divine wine you gave me, I didn't expect the inspiration to explode, and it only took half a month to complete. ”
Ning Meng looked at the work and expressed her mother's expectations and love for her newborn. Although she didn't know much about painting, she seemed to feel that the painting was created by the artist's heart.
Ning Meng said: "You came at the right time, I just had a gallery owner come here as a guest, if you don't mind, I want to invite him to see this painting together." ”
The painter said, "Of course I don't mind. ”
The gallery owner, played by Myung-hee, pretends to look at the painting and immediately decides to buy it. Naturally, the painter did not expect things to go so smoothly, and of course he said yes.
Ning Meng said: "It seems that you still have talent." ”
The painter said, "Do you still have fairy wine, and if so, will you give me some more?" The taste of this fairy wine is strange to drink, but it feels good after drinking it. My brain doesn't swell, I don't feel sleepy, but it keeps me inspired. ”
Ning Meng laughed after hearing this, and said, "Where is the immortal wine, it's just rice vinegar bought in the supermarket." ”
The painter's jaw dropped when he heard this, and he said, "Rice vinegar?!, really, and where did I get my inspiration?"
"Inspiration is a very mysterious thing, and I really don't know how it came about. But I can see in your drawings that you have a deep love for children, so I think that's probably one of your inspirations. So you get the idea? Alcohol is not your source of inspiration. ”
The painter was silent for a long time, and then said, "Maybe I can try to quit drinking, and then go and get my child back." Thank you very much. ”
After the painter left, Mingxi said, "You didn't ask for payment. ”
Ning Meng said nonchalantly: "Isn't that painter still going back to the child? When her child returns to her, it's not too late." Besides, didn't she give us a painting? That's kind of a payment. ”
Xiao Bai took out the transfer record expressionlessly and showed it to Ning Meng and said, "This is the money I bought the painting just now, Wang." ”
Ning Meng looked at the string of zeros behind the number and said in shock: "Do you need so much money to buy a painting?"
"Yes. So this time the business is losing money again, Wang. ”
Myung-hee said, "And this outfit was bought to play the gallery owner, so it should also be counted in your account." ”
Ning Meng opened Mingxi's collar and shouted: "Why do you want to buy a famous brand when you only wear clothes once!"
"Really? Is this a brand? I'm just looking at the magazine's recommendations. ”
A few days later, Myung-hee was still recalling his acting skills that day. He played a gallery owner brilliantly.
Mingxi looked at Ning Meng's violent appearance in order to buy a famous brand for herself, and seemed to be very happy, and said to Xiao Hei Xiabai: "You said that if we can't go back to the Heavenly Palace and stay here, wouldn't it be good for me to be an actor?"
