This director is so innocent.

Chapter 41: Mutual Schemes

When he was a child, he first practiced regular script. After becoming familiar with it, he started practicing running script, and later he practiced clerical script. He also practiced the thin gold script.

However, his favorite style is still running script, especially Wang Xizhi's "Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion", which is very grand and elegant.

The Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion was written by Wang Xizhi and forty-one friends, including Xie An and Sun Chuo, at the Orchid Pavilion in Shanyin, Kuaiji, where they drank wine and composed poems.

Wang Xizhi compiled these poems and essays into a collection and wrote a preface, recounting the event of the floating wine cups on the winding stream and expressing his inner feelings inspired by it.

Su Jin found the calligraphy copybook of "Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion", then spread out the Xuan paper and weighed it down on both sides with paperweights.

"In the ninth year of Yonghe, the year of Guichou, at the beginning of late spring, we gathered at the Orchid Pavilion in Shanyin, Kuaiji, to perform the purification ritual..."

The brushstrokes flowed like dragons and snakes, completed in one go.

Su Jin wrote quickly and smoothly.

Half an hour later, he put down his brush, looked at the characters, shook his head slightly, and said that after writing for several years, he still felt that it was not good enough.

It looks nice, but it lacks spirit.

To put it bluntly, it's full of craftsmanship.

"Knock knock knock..."

Liu Shishi pushed open the door and walked in. She came to Su Jin's side, looked at the manuscript, and exclaimed, "Wow! It's so beautiful!"

"Hehe..." Su Jin was amused by Liu Shishi's little expression and said, "Is the food ready?"

"Mm." Liu Shishi nodded.

"Let's go eat!" Su Jin put down her calligraphy brush and turned to leave when she heard Liu Shishi say, "Brother Jin, can I have this?"

"No, it's terrible. I'll send you a better one another day." Su Jin refused without even thinking. It was so badly written that she was too embarrassed to send it to him.

"No, I want this one. It looks really nice." Liu Shishi shook Su Jin's arm and pleaded, "Brother Jin, please..."

Su Jin was so pestered by her that she had no choice but to agree.

Liu Shishi smiled and put the manuscript away. "I'll find an experienced craftsman to frame it tomorrow and hang it above my bed."

Back in the living room, Su Jin saw that four dishes and a soup were already laid out on the dining table.

Spicy clams, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, stir-fried lotus root slices with pork, stir-fried shredded potatoes with sour sauce, and pork rib and corn soup.

It looks good and smells quite fragrant, but I don't know how it tastes.

Su Jin picked up a clam and ate it. The clam meat was very tender, and the taste was just right. She felt it was very good.

Then I picked up a piece of stir-fried pork, which tasted pretty good too.

Liu Shishi looked at Su Jin expectantly, wanting to know his opinion.

Seeing this, Su Jin smiled slightly and said, "Very good, you can open a restaurant now."

"Really? I told you I'm a genius, there's nothing I can't handle!" Liu Shishi exclaimed happily upon receiving confirmation.

"Have some more of these shredded potatoes."

Su Jin picked up a shredded potato, chewed it a couple of times, and said, "It's very crispy, and the vinegar flavor is just right."

Upon hearing this, Liu Shishi's smile became very bright, and her eyes narrowed into crescent shapes.

"Eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold," Su Jin said with a smile when she saw her silly look.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey..."

Liu Shishi picked up a piece of stir-fried pork, but after only two bites, her face changed drastically, and she spat it all out.

Why is it so salty?

Su Jin was secretly overjoyed, but on the surface she still pretended to be very concerned, "What's wrong?"

"Brother Jin, can we please stop lying to each other in the future? How could you possibly eat something so awful?"

"Is it bad? I don't think so," Su Jin said, picking up a piece of stir-fried pork and eating it, pretending that it was delicious.

When Liu Shishi saw this, she was completely bewildered. Were they eating different things?

Unconvinced, she picked up the stir-fried pork again and ate it, only to spit it all out again.

Seeing this, Su Jin almost burst out laughing.

Sister Xia is so easily fooled! She's like a silly child.

Liu Shishi looked at Su Jin with a very serious expression. She suddenly thought of a terrible possibility.

"Brother Jin, do you have no sense of taste?"

Hearing this, Su Jin was slightly taken aback. No, is Sister Xia really that stupid?

How did you come to the conclusion that he has lost his sense of taste?

Why do you think I have no sense of taste?

"You can't even taste the saltiness, what else could it be but a lack of taste?" Liu Shishi's voice was choked with emotion, as if she were about to burst into tears at any moment.

Su Jin was startled and hurriedly said, "Shishi, I haven't lost my sense of taste. I was just lying to you."

"real?"

"Really, I swear."

"Then swear it."

Fuck it!

Sister Xia actually did it for real.

Su Jin sighed helplessly in her heart, then slowly raised her right hand and said solemnly, "I swear, I lied to Liu Shishi just now. What I said was true. I haven't lost my sense of taste..."

Before he could finish speaking, a hearty laugh rang out.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Liu Shishi slapped the table, laughing so hard she was bent over backwards, until she couldn't even straighten her back.

Su Jin stared blankly at the blind woman, her mind racing with a thousand thoughts.

Having spent his whole life playing with eagles, he was pecked in the eye by a sparrow today.

From now on, anyone who dares to say that Sister Xia is stupid will have to fight her.

"Have you laughed enough?" Su Jin couldn't help but ask.

However, Liu Shishi seemed not to hear him at all, and continued to laugh loudly without any restraint or regard for others.

Oh well, let her laugh if she wants to!

They lost both their dignity and their substance.

Su Jin sighed inwardly, silently picked up the soup spoon, ladled a bowl of hot soup from the bowl, and drank it by herself.

The other dishes were either too bland or too salty, but this soup was quite tasty and palatable.

After a while, Liu Shishi finally stopped laughing, but a smile still lingered on her lips.

"Keep laughing! This is nothing." Su Jin said sarcastically.

"Pfft..."

Liu Shishi didn't give Su Jin any face and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

But she quickly realized that this might make Su Jin even angrier, so she quickly covered her mouth with her hand, while her big eyes kept peeking.

Depend on……

Out of sight, out of mind.

Su Jin took the shredded potatoes and lotus root to the kitchen, added salt, and stir-fried them again.

As for the two salty ones, we can only drink more water; we can't just throw them away!

"Brother Jin, let me help you serve the dishes!" Liu Shishi came to the kitchen to fawn over him, acting as if nothing had happened.

"You take the shredded potatoes over there, I'll take the lotus root myself."

"Okay."

After dinner, Su Jin took Liu Shishi home.

He drives a Grand Cherokee, still a used one, and it's very expensive, over 400,000 yuan!

It's definitely worth it; the back seat is very spacious, with plenty of room to stretch out, so you can use all sorts of skills.

……

P.S.: Brothers and sisters, please read on during the trial period!

If you turn to the last two pages, there's a ranking of what you should read next.

Thank you, thank you, thank you very much.

The lead actor is going to film a movie tomorrow.

Or do you have any good suggestions?

Sigh! I shouldn't have slipped up and said the two worlds would start filming in April or May. Now I don't even know what the lead actor will be playing.
