Ji Mingqing, acting with valor, earned the heavens' favor. His soul ascended to join the immortal ranks, becoming an inconspicuous cog in the Celestial Court. By chance, he acquired a piece of ...
Chapter 32
"Why is it raining today?" Ji Mingqing sat in the house, looking out the window, and said to Xiaowan who was lying next to him: "This is the first rain I have seen since I came to the fairyland."
The rain in the fairyland was no different, except that the mist was swirling outside and the raindrops were dripping densely onto the ground. The sound of the water droplets colliding created an ethereal musical score. Ji Mingqing looked at the rain outside the window and his mood became much brighter.
"Let's take this opportunity to sum up how much money I have earned now." After saying that, Ji Mingqing took out the storage bag that contained his money, opened the bag, stood upside down, and shook it facing the table.
Then Bai Cangze heard the sound of "crackling", the sound of the spirit beads colliding with the table in a disorderly manner, but this sound was very pleasant to Ji Mingqing's ears.
He looked at the table full of spiritual pearls and rubbed his hands impatiently.
"Let's start counting the money now."
Let’s start by counting the spirit beads. Although the spirit beads have the lowest value, there are not many of them. He asked Zhao Yu to exchange most of the spirit beads for fairy beads. However, there are about seven or eight hundred spirit beads in this handful.
"Come on, Xiaowan, help me hold down this box." After saying that, Ji Mingqing put all the spirit beads in his storage bag into a big box.
"There are a total of 769 spirit beads." Ji Mingqing wrote on the side with a charcoal pencil, and then pushed the box aside.
"Now let's count the fairy beads." There were a lot of fairy beads. Even though Ji Mingqing and Zhao Yu had already exchanged a few fairy stones, since most of the customers who came to the restaurant also used fairy beads, he piled all the fairy beads together, which was very spectacular.
Ji Mingqing looked at the mountain of immortal beads in front of him, swallowed his saliva, and muttered, "Isn't it true that I am too rich now..."
If you count this pile of fairy beads one by one, you might not be able to finish counting them even after dark. But fortunately, the fairy beads in the fairy world are all of the same weight. Ji Mingqing took out a scale, weighed it, then moved his fingers and wrote it on the paper.
"Three thousand two hundred and seventy fairy beads." After rounding off, more than three thousand fairy beads, that's thirty fairy stones.
Adding the eight immortal stones he had exchanged from Zhao Yu before, he is now an immortal with some assets!
"At the beginning, I was thinking that if the restaurant made money, I would shift my focus to the restaurant. If the magic grass made money, I would reclaim a few more acres of land and carefully care for the magic grass every day." Ji Mingqing happily put away the magic stone and told Xiao Wanting.
"Who would have thought that my magic herb makes money, and my restaurant also makes money. Don't you think I should do something else?" Ji Mingqing folded his hands, lying on the table, looking at Xiaowan who was also lying on the table with clear eyes.
Not knowing what he was thinking about, Bai Cangze heard Ji Mingqing chuckle, and then heard Ji Mingqing's voice, "If I can continue like this, in a few years, I will become very rich."
Bai Cangze looked at Ji Mingqing facing the window, as if he was watching the raindrops falling continuously. The expectation and yearning revealed in his eyes were definitely not the expression that would be revealed because of appreciating the rain scene.
The rain gradually stopped, and Ji Mingqing rushed out of the room, greedily smelling the scent of green grass and rain-soaked soil in the air.
"That's great..." Ji Mingqing sighed. He liked rainy days very much when he was a child. Sometimes he would even run home in the rain even though he had an umbrella in his schoolbag. Every time he did this, he would feel inexplicably happy and satisfied.
Even if he would be scolded when he got home, he was happy to do so.
Immersed in memories, Ji Mingqing took a deep breath, then took out the fairy ring, found Wu Ciyong's mark and dialed it.
"Master Wu, after the rain is when the immortal energy is at its most abundant. Why don't you take the child out to relax? I heard that the more relaxed the child is, the faster they absorb the immortal energy."
Wu Ciyong had some doubts on the other side of the fairy ring, but when he heard Ji Mingqing say that there were new facilities here and the children would definitely like them, Wu Ciyong decided to take Dongdong and Xiaotao out with him.
Not long after, Ji Mingqing saw Wu Ciyong with Dongdong and Xiaotao, followed by Dongdong's uncle. After seeing Ji Mingqing, this man spoke before Wu Ciyong.
"Boss Ji, why didn't you inform me first when there was something fun? I still want to hear the news from my brother-in-law." Although he complained, there was still a smile in his eyes.
Ji Mingqing didn't show it on his face, but still responded politely: "The main thing is that this time we are targeting a fairy child of Dongdong's age. If there is equipment suitable for you, I will definitely ask you to come over and give me the money as soon as possible."
After saying that, the two of them burst into laughter. Wu Ciyong immediately pulled Uncle Dongdong behind him and said, "I wonder what new things these people are going to give Dongdong and Xiaotao this time?"
Ji Mingqing raised his hand and pointed to the location of the train, "It's over there."
When they arrived, they had already noticed that Ji Mingqing had built a new road, but they had no idea what it was for. Unexpectedly, Ji Mingqing would explain it to them today.
"Let's go." Ji Mingqing waved his hand and flew to the train with a few people. Today he led them to the carriage. At the same time, he also stuffed a windmill in the hands of Dongdong and Xiaotao.
"When the car starts moving, you can stretch out your hand and the windmill will start to turn." The windmill was made by Ji Mingqing in his spare time. He learned how to make it in elementary school, so it can be said that it is not difficult at all.
Xiao Tao and Dong Dong were thrilled to ride in a car that let them stick their arms out the windows. The speed wasn't too fast or too slow for them, and they could lean out freely, unlike the completely enclosed Duanyun car. The two kids even asked to ride again.
Ji Mingqing's idea coincided with theirs, but he had something to do, so he called Wu Qigu over and asked him to help with the reception. Before leaving, he also agreed with Wu Ciyong that today would be a trial operation and no money would be charged.
After returning to the restaurant, Ji Mingqing saw Xiaowan supervising the work of Xu Yihe and Cui Ding at the table, and couldn't help but smile.
"You're staring at them both, making them both nervous." After Ji Mingqing finished speaking, he smiled and waved, "Come here, I have a gift for you."
What gift? Bai Cangze, who was lying on his stomach, sat up and tilted his head to look at Ji Mingqing. Ji Mingqing was immediately touched by this "head tilt".
"You will definitely like this gift. Come out and I'll leave it outside." Ji Mingqing waved at Xiaowanzhao. Bai Cangze finally followed his wishes and walked out the door.
It would have been fine if he hadn't seen it, but once he did, Bai Cangze was furious.
Ji Mingqing actually had the nerve to pick up his rocking car that had been knocked away. Not only did he pick it up, but why... why did he...
"Boss Ji, I..." At the same time, Wu Qigu walked over. Wu Ciyong wanted to ask about the price of taking the train in the future, but he found that he didn't know either, so he came over to ask.
As a result, when he came over, he saw Ji Mingqing take out a huge, white object with unknown patterns on it from the storage bag... something he had never seen before.
"Wu Qigu, you came at the right time. What do you think of my painting?" Ji Mingqing pushed the Yao car to Wu Qigu like presenting a treasure. Wu Qigu was very tactful and it was obvious that this was Ji Mingqing's masterpiece.
"Every hair is distinct, and although the eyes are a little confused, the misty feeling in them makes them more endearing. The rosy lips look very healthy. I guess Boss Ji must have been full of love when he painted this."
Bai Cangze looked at Wu Qigu in disbelief. He had seen many people who said one thing to one person and another thing to another person, but it was rare to see someone like Wu Qigu who could turn black into white and be so righteous.
Ji Mingqing drew a huge, extremely ugly cat head on the rocking car, and Ji Mingqing's words clearly expressed that he was drawing himself.
He is a divine beast, the supreme being in the fairy world, how could he be humiliated like this!
Bai Cangze was so angry that he was about to stretch out his claws to smash the rocking car into pieces, making it impossible for it to get up forever, when he heard Ji Mingqing speak.
"Yes, during those days when Xiaowan was away, I missed him so much that I regretted it at the time. I was even prepared for Xiaowan not to come back, but I didn't expect Xiaowan to come back anyway."
After Ji Mingqing finished speaking, he sighed, "Luckily, Xiao Wang is back. I couldn't do anything during those few days."
After hearing this, Bai Cangze thought about it and finally put down his claws.
Forget it, just tolerate him this time.
The author has something to say:
I only realized after writing this chapter that the last names of the two supporting characters are the same.
This is the consequence of only being able to recite the first eight of the Hundred Family Surnames...
