He wanted to become a millionaire food blogger, and this was his way to make a living. His first video was unpopular, which was normal. His Weibo account had only a few fake followers, little traffic, and his videos weren't particularly professional. The lighting was a bit dim, and the food looked homely, unlike serious bloggers who used plating, lighting, and filters to create a fresh and artistic look.
A family of six is having dinner, and Lu Cijiu really can’t be literary because there are so many kids and the bowls and plates in their house are all big.
With Gong Xichao watching closely beside him, Lu Cijiu didn't dare to give up, so he planned to barbecue in the yard for the second video where the light would be better.
"How about it?"
Lu Cijiu asked his eldest son, who was studying the first video. Like a primary school student turning in homework, he frowned slightly at the sight of the eagle, his heart skipping a beat, a touch of nervousness. "Is there something wrong with the shot?"
"These people are so blind. The food you cook is obviously very good." Gong Xichao said angrily in a cold voice.
Lu Cijiu: ...comfort from old father.
"It's okay, it's okay. This generation of fans is hard to handle. Calm down. We should be able to have a barbecue today."
Gong Xichao didn't say anything. He studied his phone for a while, then looked up and said, "Hold a lottery."
"...not to the point of—" Lu Cijiu faced Diao Zong's domineering and cold face. He had no right to agree, so he just treated it as a joke to coax his older son. "Alright, what's the prize? It can't be too expensive."
Since Gong Xichao seized the Monster Management Bureau, half a month had passed in August, and Lu Ci's salary hadn't been paid yet. When he called, his phone was disconnected. Later, he learned that the entire Monster Management Bureau had fled, hiding in who knows where in the mountains and forests.
When it comes to money, Gong Xichao finally agrees with humans.
"Just draw some talisman paper." Gong Xichao said.
Lu Cijiu: ...Yes!
He had yellow paper and cinnabar at home, so Lu Cijiu got to work immediately. He drew a few talismans for peace, academic success, and romance, a total of six talismans. He took a photo and posted it on Weibo for a lucky draw.
The prize will be announced in three days, just comment and forward.
After finishing all that, Lu Cijiu started preparing lunch. He planned to have barbecue in the evening. He had marinated the chicken wings and lamb chops he had bought yesterday and put them in the refrigerator. For lunch, he kept it simple: a pot of mung bean porridge and some cold dishes.
The weather was hot, so we ate in the living room.
After taking a nap, at four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was not as scorching, and Lu Cijiu started to get busy. The kids followed him around, running errands because they knew they would have grilled chicken wings tonight, so they were very happy and enthusiastic.
Uncle Gong Xichao leaned on the jade bed and ate ice watermelon.
Lu Cijiu muttered to himself, "Look at your brothers and sisters, they're so much younger than you and they know how to work, and you spend your days..."
"Human, are you thinking about me?"
Lu Cijiu:!!! You know everything that’s going on in his mind?
"No, just a little bit, Brother Gong, you're not angry, right?"
Gong Xichao snorted inwardly. The human glanced at him briefly, lowered his head to work, and then looked up again with eyes full of love. This human was becoming less and less restrained. He said lightly, "A little bit. Goodbye from now on."
Let him go so easily? Lu Cijiu happily agreed.
A short while later, Gong Xichao put down the watermelon in his hand and came over with a cold face to ask if there was any work to do. Lu Cijiu was shocked. Did the beeping in his heart have any effect? He quickly said, "We need to get out the barbecue and the charcoal fire and set up the tripod for filming."
"So many chores." Gong Xichao's tone was not very good, but seeing the pitiful appearance of the human, he was afraid that he would be angry, so he paused and said compassionately: "I'll do it."
Lu Cijiu:!!! What happened to Daerza today?!
Everything was laid out. A wire mesh covered the clay stove for the barbecue, a charcoal fire was lit, and well-chilled fruit was placed on the small table on the jade bed. Lu Cijiu sat on a small stool, spreading the marinated meat on the wire mesh, when the phone rang.
It was Lin Zhenguo's secretary who called.
Lu Cijiu calculated the date and figured that his household registration should have been completed.
When I picked up the phone, I found that the other party had reached the intersection but couldn't find the way. Lu Cijiu was turning over the meat and said to the phone, "Wait a minute, I'll come down to answer it." While looking at the eagle, "Brother Gong——"
"A mere human, yet you're asking me to pick him up!" Gong Xichao's face darkened as he said, "Wait."
The road bids farewell to the old: Hee.
The eldest son is so cute.
I plan to give the first portion of barbecue to Gong Xichao first. My eldest son performed very well today and deserves encouragement.
After a few minutes, Gong Xichao was the first to enter the courtyard. Behind him, in addition to Secretary Liu, there were two men. They were also familiar faces. They were the contractor Wang and his workers who helped them install the grape racks.
The two men were carrying fruit and milk. As soon as they entered the door, Wang, the contractor, said, "We're here. Hurry up and thank Boss Lu."
As soon as Lu Cijiu saw the skinny, dark-skinned young man with bruises on his face, he knew what had happened and said, "It's good that he's not seriously injured. Sit down and rest for a while. It's so hot and you can drink some water."
"Master Lu, we have completed what President Lin asked us to do. Take a look, everything is in here." Secretary Liu handed over the file bag.
Contractor Wang saw that they met by chance downstairs. He had been searching for a long time but couldn't find the yard. He had been there just two days ago. He saw this man driving a nice car and wearing a suit in the middle of summer calling "Master Lu" as soon as he opened the phone, and now he was listening to "General Manager Lin".
I didn’t expect that Boss Lu is such a master.
No wonder.
Lu Cijiu poured three cups of iced sour plum soup. The cups in the institute were all large stainless steel cups, so there was no need to worry about them falling.
Contractor Wang was flattered to take the cup and quickly recounted what happened that morning. "...Luckily I was wearing a hard hat. The ladder was fine until it suddenly broke. I was so scared that I broke into a cold sweat. It's five meters high. If I had hit my head first, it would have been a serious problem... I had a slight concussion, but the doctor said it's nothing serious. Xiaogang is a simple kid. He reacted quickly and wanted to thank the master."
"Master Lu, thank you." Xiaogang also addressed him respectfully unconsciously.
Lu Cijiu: ...He is not really used to being called Master.
After drinking sour plum soup, the two put down their things and left. Secretary Liu did the same. Lu Cijiu glanced at Secretary Liu and said naturally, "Secretary Liu, don't worry, everything is here."
Secretary Liu understood the meaning behind the master's words and was immediately surprised. He cautiously asked, "Really? My wife had a miscarriage ten years ago and has never been able to get pregnant since then."
"Let's wait for good news." Lu Cijiu smiled and said no more.
Secretary Liu was immediately happy. He was already 36 years old this year. He had tried all kinds of medicine and visited all the hospitals over the years, but nothing worked. He had made up his mind to do in vitro fertilization, but he never expected that it would work.
As soon as he got in the car, he called his wife and spoke excitedly: "Wife, Master Lu said we will have a child. How are you feeling recently? Are you feeling sleepy?"
"How could I not know my body? I can eat and sleep well and I don't have any pregnancy symptoms. Could you have been deceived by that guru?"
"No, Master Lu is very accurate. Wife, I'm fine this afternoon, let's go to the hospital for a check-up." Secretary Liu was very enthusiastic.
Mrs. Liu thought her husband was desperate for a child, and she felt a little sad. How could she not want one too? Now the couple had established careers, a big house and car, and savings. Everything was in place, but they still had no children. Who had they been working so hard for?
"Okay, go check it out, but don't take it too seriously. I really don't feel uncomfortable."
Mrs. Liu had taken precautions. Hadn't they been disappointed enough in the past ten years? Every time she felt unwell, with all sorts of pregnancy symptoms, it was all in vain.
Where did my husband hear about Master Lu? He is always thinking about things. Can Master Lu compare with the doctors in specialized hospitals?
Not wanting to disappoint her husband, the couple went to the hospital and registered for a blood test as usual.
"Pregnant? It's been almost two months, and I, I don't feel anything." Mrs. Liu was stunned when she heard the test results.
Secretary Liu cried with joy and hugged his wife, saying, "Master Lu is truly amazing."
Doctor: Your wife is pregnant. What’s the matter, Master Guan Lu?
Inside the Shanhai Shelter.
Night falls.
The aroma of barbecue wafted in the air. Tail squatted by the stove and refused to leave. His tender little finger pointed at a chicken wing, his eyes almost becoming a line. "Chirp, chirp, chirp. Just a little more honey. I like sweet things."
"Okay, brush it a few times?" Lu Cijiu teased the child.
"Three, no no, four." Tail counted on his fingers, his little face almost twisted into a ball.
Dalong snorted twice, "Jiujiu, give him six strokes."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to Dalong." Tail didn't have a temper and breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems to be a case of entanglement, and it's just right to have Dalong take charge. Lu Cijiu's men really gave it six smacks. The chicken wings were grilled golden on both sides, exuding the sweet aroma of honey. The tail couldn't wait, and Lu Cijiu handed it over and said, "Be careful, it's hot—"
'puff'!
A soft sound, like a fart.
The hand that was originally catching the chicken wing suddenly stopped and reached behind his butt.
Lu Cijiu was afraid that the baby would be embarrassed, so he coaxed her, "It's okay, it's okay. It won't stink in the yard."
"No, not Chirp, I have a tail." The tail was a little happy, "Chirp, look, it's plump."
Since the name was changed, the four cubs surrounded Jiujiu, and they were curious about what their "race" looked like on the Internet.
Tail covered his butt and turned to show it to Jiujiu. Summer clothes were thin, and Tail was wearing a pair of white shorts. Lu Cijiu took a look and saw that it was really bulging. He had never seen a nine-tailed fox before, so he said curiously, "Let me take a look."
"Chirp, chirp, chicken wings, they're mushy." The tail was excited that he had finally transformed and would be as powerful as Dalong, but he was also worried that his chicken wings would become mushy, and his little face was in a state of confusion.
Lu Cijiu couldn't help but want to laugh. He took out the chicken wings and put them in the bowl, saying, "It's done. It won't be burnt."
Dudu and the kittens came over, two of them chewing on the meat and staring at the tail with wide eyes curiously.
As soon as the shorts were taken off, the furry, red, soft tail flew out of the trouser pocket.
One, two, three...
"Why six?" Where's the promised nine-tailed fox? Lu Cijiu turned to look at Daerza, who was leisurely eating meat.
Gong Xichao said without even looking at it, "Insufficient spiritual energy, impure bloodline, or insufficient nutrition. Choose one of the three."
The tail cried out, with a sad look on its face. It was agreed that it would have nine tails, so would it look ugly with only six?
"It's okay. You're still young and malnourished. Let's eat more and they'll grow." Lu Cijiu saw Wei's face wrinkled and pitiful and sad, and quickly praised him, "The tails are very beautiful now, with fluffy, shiny and smooth fur. They look so beautiful. There are six of them."
The big dragon next to him stretched out his little hand and couldn't help but touch his two little feet.
He only has two.
Tail had a slight advantage. Dalong gave him a slightly envious look.
