Chapter 365: Helping Nan to Abuse
The cat also jumped down from the coffee table at this time, came closer to look at the wood carving, gradually opened its eyes wide, and then looked at Old Wu, its eyes seemed to be able to speak.
Mr. Wu looked at the cat, then carefully examined his work, and from his expression he seemed to be very satisfied.
"Mr. Wu is worthy of being the president of the Woodcarving Association. This wooden cat is carved vividly." Li Mu couldn't help but praise.
“I was attracted by your cat when I first watched your live broadcast.”
Only then did Mr. Wu notice Li Mu behind him, and turned around and said, "I also tried to carve her when I was in Beijing, but I always fell short. Today, seeing her with my own eyes and feeling her charm, I finished it in one go without realizing it."
After a pause, he looked at the cat again, his tone full of surprise: "Your cat is really unusual. Just now, I couldn't help but pick up the wood to start carving her. When she found out, she jumped onto the coffee table and sat there motionless, as if she knew I was carving her. I always feel that she is very human, not like a cat, but more like a human."
"She's very smart," Li Mu said. "Because she follows me every day, she may have learned some human habits."
Seeing that Mr. Wu wanted to ask something, Brother Nan at the side reached out and picked up the wooden cat, changing the subject: "Old man, can I take this wooden cat?"
"Ah? Take it away? Okay, then you can take it." The old man stared at the statue in her hand, looking reluctant.
"Brother Nan was just joking with you."
Li Mu looked at the yogurt beside him, then looked at Mr. Wu. From his tone, he could tell that he loved this work very much. He smiled and said, "I already have some yogurt beside me. I'll leave this yogurt sculpture to Mr. Wu as a souvenir."
"Yes! Yes!"
Mr. Wu nodded repeatedly and carefully took the wooden cat statue from Brother Nan's hand. "Your boyfriend said that the wooden cat is left to me."
The old man was so anxious that he even spoke in dialect, as if he was afraid that Brother Nan would not give it to him.
Six pm.
Li Mu and Brother Nan sat in the restaurant, one on each side of the 8-immortals table, looking at the menu on the wall and considering their order.
"Three pounds of mutton, two pounds of mutton offal, plus one piece of sheep's blood and a portion of baby cabbage." Brother Nan said.
"You two can't eat so much," said the boss.
"three people."
"I can't even eat three."
"Pack it up and bring it back for my parents."
"Oh, okay then."
Not long after, Li Qinran walked in from the door. She sat down naturally and held the yogurt on the table in her arms: "Have you ordered the dishes?"
"I've finished ordering." Li Mu nodded.
"How is it? Did Master Wu accept you as his apprentice?"
"No." Li Mu shook his head, "But we have an appointment. I will go to his house tomorrow."
"Why do you want to go?"
"Your brother is so talented, and the old man is getting old, so he also wants someone to talk to him."
Brother Nan said, "You don't know, at about five o'clock, his wife came back and picked up a bag of bottles. When she saw us, she dropped the bottles and called the nanny to go out to buy chicken and meat. Li Mu and I hurried to leave. Why let the old couple go to such trouble so late at night? Unfortunately, we couldn't refuse, so we said we would go again tomorrow and have dinner together at their house in the morning."
“So enthusiastic.”
The three of them chatted, and after a while, the mutton soup was served.
Brother Nan handed out chopsticks to the two of them and helped them scoop up soup: "Try it quickly. Brother Nan has personally tested this and it is the best mutton soup in the city, bar none."
Li Mu first picked up a piece of mutton, let it cool down and put it in Maoer's bowl, then picked up another piece.
The taste is delicate and delicious, and it doesn’t smell smelly even when eaten as is.
Dip it in the provided dipping sauce and the taste immediately becomes mellow and rich, which is already very delicious.
"good to eat!"
Then he scooped another small spoonful of soup, blew it cool, and took a sip tentatively. Suddenly, the entire tip of his tongue was filled with the delicious taste of mutton soup. This taste spread from the tip of his tongue to the root of his tongue, with a large span, which surprised him a little.
“Delicious!”
Facts always prove that it’s right to follow Brother Nan’s eating habits.
"It tastes good!" Li Qinran nodded repeatedly.
“It tastes better with some green onions.”
"Mud bath."
After the cat finished eating a piece of mutton, it turned its head to look around and called him softly.
"what happened?"
"How could there be a cat inside that piece of wood?" The cat was still thinking about the wooden cat that Grandpa Wu had just carved.
Li Mu was stunned when he heard this, and then he smiled.
"Master Yogurt, do you know that if Mr. Wu could hear what you just said, he would be very happy."
"Why meow?"
"Because your words are better than most of the praise in the world."
"I don't understand~"
"Eat mutton."
"Well! You eat too! Eat more meat!" "Okay."
In the end, the three of them ate enough for five people, and judging from the look in the boss's eyes, he had already remembered them deeply.
The next morning.
Li Mu and Brother Nan came to Grandpa Wu’s courtyard again.
Mr. Wu's wife did not go out, but waited for them at home. Not long after the two of them arrived, they went with the nanny to kill chickens and prepare lunch.
The enthusiastic Li Mu felt a little embarrassed.
Brother Nan was calm and composed. He sat on the sofa in the living room with a big smile and raised his eyebrows at Mr. Wu: "Want to play a round?"
"That's right! I don't believe I can't beat you!"
Mr. Wu immediately and happily took out a wooden box from under the coffee table. When he opened it, he found a set of rosewood chess that he had carved himself.
Taking the chessboard and placing it on the coffee table, they both began to place their chess pieces.
Then Brother Nan took out his cell phone and said, "Come on, you first."
Li Mu glanced at Brother Nan's mobile phone screen and felt speechless.
There was also a chessboard with the Chu River and Han River dividing the country on her mobile phone screen.
ten minutes later.
Brother Nan was holding his cell phone while staring at the chessboard, looking very proud, with his aho-hair sticking up high.
Old Master Wu frowned in deep thought, breathing in and out continuously.
"I collected another poplar today." Seeing that the old man was still indecisive, Brother Nan turned around and spoke to Li Mu.
"What is the Ant Forest?"
"Correct!"
"I think I once planted a Haloxylon ammodendron tree."
"Tsk! You have the nerve to bring up the Haloxylon ammodendron?" Brother Nan said disdainfully, "At least I started with the Platycladus orientalis!"
"Not as good as you."
"If you're bored, Xiao Li, go and carve first. You can use any wood you want. I'll come after I finish this game." said Mr. Wu.
"it is good."
"He'll have to wait two hours." Sister Nan saw that Mr. Wu had made a move, so she also made a move on her phone, and then made another move based on the movement of the human and the machine.
"."
Li Mu couldn't bear to see Brother Nan bullying the old man, so he stood up and walked to the side, took a carving knife and wood and started carving.
Mr. Wu is already very old. Brother Nan said that he has reached retirement age a long time ago. However, his skills are good and he has mastered the four major wood carvings. He can be called a living textbook. Therefore, he has always wanted to retire but cannot.
At this time, the gray-haired old man stared at the chessboard intently, his whole body revealed a thoughtful look, his brows were furrowed, which made Li Mu feel a little uncomfortable.
While thinking, he murmured softly:
"Sigh~"
"oops"
"You made this move. Should I make it this way?"
"No, no, your horses and cannons are watching."
"Leave like this? Just leave like this!"
"Ruonan, it's your turn!"
"General!" A soft female voice came from Brother Nan's cell phone. She calmly turned down the volume and looked up.
But Mr. Wu seemed not to hear it and continued to stare at the chessboard seriously.
"Checkmate!" Brother Nan picked up a chess piece and slapped it on the board.
"Ugh"
The old man stared at the chessboard for a long time, looking everywhere, and finally stood up, clapping his hands and spreading them out: "I lost to you again, did you learn from a famous teacher?"
"Hehe." Brother Nan chuckled, turned his head to look at Li Mu beside him, and immediately received a cold eye roll from Li Mu.
But she just thought it was Li Mu's strange way of expressing his love, so she still smiled and winked at him, "I'm awesome, right?"
"."
"Ok?"
"sharp."
After Li Mu finished speaking, he lowered his head deeply, rubbing the knife in his hand, making a slight rustling sound, which had an indescribable healing feeling, and could wash away the debt he owed to Mr. Wu in his heart——
He didn't help Nan to do evil, he was just trying to protect himself.
