Chapter 82: Lose Me a Bowl
Walking through the crowded streets, Wang Xiao turned a blind eye to the strange gazes cast around him, looking around like a fool from a poor country without electricity.
The prosperity in front of him is really too attractive to him.
"Why didn't I realize that this world is so beautiful before." Wang Xiao took the jar of otaku happy water and drank it while walking, talking to himself.
I don't cherish it when I have it, and there are many things I regret when I lose it.
Wang Xiao, who was like a tourist, swayed to the door of a noodle restaurant.
The faΓ§ade is not large, and at the end of the two rows of tables and chairs is a counter. Because it is not a meal, there are only three or two tables of guests inside.
I ordered a bowl of shredded pork noodles, and it didn't take much effort to serve it on the table.
After eating a few bites of noodles processed by modern machines, the taste naturally cannot be compared with that of the imperial chef of the palace. However, this familiar intimacy still made Wang Xiao's index fingers move.
After touching his stomach, Wang Xiao got up and went to the toilet to solve his personal problems.
But when he returned, he was stunned to see a girl in a short skirt sitting in his seat.
In this era, I don't call girls anymore, I call them girls.
The girl who was eating noodles was also a little confused, and looked at Wang Xiao standing beside her in a daze, wondering why there were still people watching eating noodles. Are you already so beautiful?
When the two looked at each other without saying a word, the waiter came to the table in front of him with a bowl of steaming noodles, "Where are the people?" β
Now everything is revealed.
The girl also came to eat noodles, and went to the bathroom after ordering. When he came back, he subconsciously regarded Wang Xiao's table as a waiter, who had already served the food and sat down to eat.
"I'm sorry." The girl was a little embarrassed and stood up, "Look what to do about this." β
Wang Xiao couldn't do anything to others because of a bowl of noodles, so he nodded and said, "Then you can compensate me for a bowl." β
"Hooligans!"
The girl's face was flushed, and she subconsciously raised her hand to slap him.
Wang Xiao raised his hand and grabbed his sister's wrist like lightning, and he was very depressed.
You ate my noodles, and I asked you to pay me a bowl, what's wrong? It's your own reason when it comes to this.
"Hahaha~~~"
The waiter who watched the lively laughter on the side was shaking his hands, "People are asking you to pay for a bowl of noodles, what do you want!" β
Wang Xiao didn't understand the girl's embarrassment, but he could see that the girl's face really turned from white to red quickly. She also thought that Wang Xiao was asking her to compensate him for one night.
It's just a bowl of noodles, as for it.
bought a bowl of noodles for Wang Xiao again, and the girl couldn't stand the atmosphere after sitting down in her seat without eating a few bites, so she ran away in a hurry.
Wang Xiao didn't care about this little episode, and leisurely finished eating noodles and went out to continue shopping, feeling the prosperous scene.
Then his mom's call hit his phone.
After a simple greeting and warmth, what followed was to ask Wang Xiao if there was a way to solve his personal problems?
If not, there are several neighbors in the neighborhood who have introduced blind dates.
Wang Xiao really couldn't laugh or cry.
If you let the people in the world of Daming Fenghua know that the famous Emperor Xuande actually relies on blind dates to solve the problem of singleness, it is estimated that this big melon is enough for people there to eat for a hundred years and still talk about it.
Haosheng comforted his mother, who was anxious to find her daughter-in-law, Wang Xiao said that she was tall and handsome, and her attraction to her sister was 200%. Just when I was eating, there was a beautiful girl who took the initiative to invite a treat.
As for blind dates or something, it's completely unnecessary.
Wang Xiao ate and drank and wandered around for a few days, as the tickets in his pocket became less and less. He went back to the house, picked up the guy who was eating, and went to the Bund to resume his old business.
In the past few years, everything abroad has been highly sought after, but with the increase of national strength, in recent years, the national style of China has begun to rise.
Wang Xiao set up a stall to paint Chinese paintings, which can be regarded as a hitchhike. In addition, his painting skills are excellent, so the business is still good.
There are one or two hundred, three or five hundred paintings. Although the money is not much, there is no problem in providing him with food and clothing.
Of course, if you want to settle down here in the magic capital, don't think about it. He had to sell tens of thousands of paintings to have a chance to buy a small house in the outskirts of the country.
When there are no guests, Wang Xiao likes to paint by himself.
Sun Ruowei, Hokusai, Maude and Sister Lin are all vividly displayed on the drawing paper by his pen.
It's really good to be able to draw with technique alone. But if you really put your heart into it, then you can make a good work.
These women who made Wang Xiao remember deeply are difficult to reunite now. Wang Xiao condensed his thoughts on the brush, and the works he painted were extremely expressive.
"It seems to be Kerr."
"That's right, looking at the costumes, it's when you appear in Dream of Red Mansions."
"Dude's skills are so good, the drawing is like a real person. Graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts? β
When Wang Xiao was engrossed in painting, there were already many tourists around him.
When he was painting Lin Daiyu with his memory, the voice of the person next to him finally woke up Wang Xiao, who was immersed in it.
"I'm not a pervert!"
Forcefully reminding himself up, Wang Xiao put down his paintbrush and got up to pack up his things and prepare to leave.
I made several hundred today, which is enough.
"Dude, can you sell me this painting? How about I give 200 dollars? β
Good things will always be appreciated.
Sister Lin's painting was taken care of, and she wanted to pay for it on the spot.
Wang Xiao lowered his head and packed up the tools, "I'm sorry, this is not for sale." β
"Don't you just want to add money, I'll give you five hundred."
Wang Xiao laughed. The person who offered the price snorted, and when he was about to take the painting, he was stopped by Wang Xiao with his hand: "I won't sell it for any money." β
He calmly explained, "Seeing things and thinking about people, this is painted for a friend, not for sale." β
"Hahaha~~~"
Everyone around laughed, "You just set up a stall to paint, and you're friends with Ke'er?" Artists should also be close to life, not always live in fantasy. β
Heroes are sought after in troubled times, and stars are sought after in prosperous times. Wang Xiao has long been accustomed to this.
There was no refutation or justification, so he packed up his things and walked away.
Wang Xiao has no plans to re-enter the mission world for the time being, he is ready to give himself a vacation and rest.
Wandering around with your phone all day long, taking pictures, eating and drinking, like a tourist.
I had no money in my pocket, so I went to a stall to paint to earn some living expenses. The little life is not bad.
On this day, he saw an antique Hanfu display case in a roadside clothing store and went in to take a look. Although the clothes are not very reasonable, the design is quite in line with the aesthetics of modern people.
Wang Xiao paid for a set, and put it on directly without any scruples.
He wears a lot in the mission world, and he actually feels a little bit of intimacy.
In the past, walking on the street in Hanfu would be ridiculed. Because the foreign invasion of the past hundred years has hit the self-confidence of the Chinese people.
However, now, with the increase of national strength and the rejuvenation of China, the national style has been widely recognized.
Wang Xiao wore Hanfu to set up a stall to paint, and his business was much better. Many girls also took the initiative to ask to take photos with him.
On this day, a man with a ponytail and sunglasses, with the coolest look in the sky and on the ground, found Wang Xiao and handed him a business card: "I am the art director of the promotion company." We want to work with you to promote your packaging. β
Wang Xiao took the beautifully crafted business card and looked at it: "Are you a company engaged in Douyin promotion?" β
Douyin, which is popular all over the world, is not only fun-loving people who upload short videos. There are also a large number of promotion companies dedicated to this platform.
They are like packaging stars, packaging Internet celebrities, shooting beautiful videos with scripts, teams and post-processing to make a name for themselves. That's very professional.
"I'm sorry."
Wang Xiao handed the business card back, "I'm not interested." β
The art director was a little stunned, are there still people who don't want to be famous these days?
"I think you may have misunderstood." The art director pulled up a plastic bench and sat down on the side: "We're not a leather bag company, we're a real business." If you have any doubts, you can visit our company. Whether it is strength or credibility, there is absolutely no problem. β
Wang Xiaoxin said that what I am afraid of is being famous.
Once you become famous, you have to live under the attention of countless pairs of eyes, and you often have to go on business trips to other worlds. If this secret is discovered, how can I mess up?
Wang Xiao still shook his head, "I have good intentions, but I'm not interested in this." β
The artistic director's face was full of regret, "Your conditions are so good, and your temperament is outstanding." It's also a good one-hand painting. Whether it is street photography, ancient style clothing or live painting, Chinese painting has the potential to be popular. It's a shame. β
You see, if you want to be an Internet celebrity, unless you are born beautiful, you have to make your face reborn.
It is not easy to be famous in this era, and you have to have a strong capital to do it.
"The cost is excellent... Why does this feel so awkward? β
If you don't have the ability, you have to spend money, and if you don't have the ability and no money, the promotion company is not doing charity.
"It's a shame."
The art director got up and handed over the business card again, "When you're interested, be sure to call me." β
Wang Xiao accepted the business card and nodded with a smile: "Okay." β
"Hello, I'm from the film and television company. We have a costume drama to start filming recently, your image is very good, I can help you run into the crew and play a role. β
Not long after the art director left, people from the film and television company came over and wanted him to film.
Although it is estimated that he has to pay for it, he is still just a small character with a few lines. However, for many people, it is an opportunity to seek knowledge but cannot be found.
How many beautiful girls have everything in order to have a role, and the crew has everything up and down, and in the end, the bamboo basket is empty.
Wang Xiao raised his hand to cover his head, I just want to be a beautiful man who paints quietly.
"Handsome guy, I want to invite you to dinner."
"There's a very hi bar on the other side of XX Road, let's go have a drink together?"
Faced with harassment from all walks of life, Wang Xiao finally couldn't stand it.
Pack up your things and go home, this Hanfu is estimated to not be worn much in the future.
"Add all attribute points to your constitution."
After resting for a while, Wang Xiao finally wanted to go out for a walk. However, before using the World Anchor, he first added 12 attribute points to his Constitution.
In this way, his physique has reached a level that is more than three times that of ordinary people.
Wang Xiao has already experienced the benefits of increasing his physique, and the most obvious change is that he has a strong body and a body shape that attracts attention.
And the most practical change, that is, the significant increase in staying power.
This is something that men understand.
"Use the World Anchor."
"Which world do you want to link to?"
"Dream of Red Mansions."
It was dark and bright in front of him, and when he came back to his senses, Wang Xiao was already in the restaurant opposite the Yangzhou Mansion.
"Second master, do you want to prepare a car?" Chang Sui saw Wang Xiao stunned and in a daze, and stepped forward to ask if it was time to leave.
Looking at the Jiang Chun family who were executed in front of the government office opposite, Wang Xiao rubbed his forehead vigorously.
It's been too long, and recovering his memory makes him a little dizzy.
"Go back to the Yanzheng Yamen."
"Yo~~~ Why did the second brother come back so early today?" In the backyard of the Yanzheng Yamen, there was a hint of ridicule in the crisp voice like a bell.
Looking at the willow in front of her, the girl with smart eyes, Wang Xiao suddenly stepped forward and hugged Sister Lin directly under the surprised gaze of the people around her.
His chin rested on his cloudy hair, and there was a hint of hoarseness in his voice.
"Long time no see, are you okay?"
