Monster Apartment

On that day, Gu Bai finally realized that the kitchen killer really exists in this world.

"...Mr. Zhai, put it down, that's powdered sugar, not salt." Gu Bai saved a jar of powdered sugar from Zhai Liangjun's hand.

Zhai Liangjun was stunned: "No wonder it smells wrong."

Gu Bai thought for a while, but he still didn't pursue the issue that Mr. Zhai could identify the seasoning by smelling it.

After a few minutes, Gu Bai rescued another small seasoning jar from Zhai Liangjun: "This is monosodium glutamate, not white sugar."

Mr. Zhai gently rubbed his nose, which had been smothered by the smell of various seasonings, and his olfactory system was confused, and it was very itchy.

He slipped out of the kitchen, sneezed, and slipped back.

Gu Bai watched him wandering around at a loss, wanting to help but not daring to do anything, thought for a while, took out the tomatoes and eggs from the refrigerator, chopped the tomatoes and green onions, and then put the salt on the stove side.

"Mr. Zhai, try making tomato scrambled eggs." Gu Bai said, "I'll teach you."

This is the simplest entry-level stir-fry. The dishes and seasonings are all ready, just need to stir-fry, and there will be no problems.

Zhai Liangjun looked at the tomatoes and eggs, and nodded.

"Wait for the water in the pot to dry up first, and then pour oil—it doesn't need too much..." Gu Bai taught step by step while standing beside Zhai Liangjun.

Gu Bai also guessed why Zhai Liangjun came over to help him cook, it was simply because Ms. Huang promised him to come over for dinner.

Mr. Zhai became more and more courageous on the road of pursuing Ms. Huang.

Ms. Huang didn't seem to have that meaning at all.

Regarding this point, Gu Bai could tell from the relationship between these two people after they were beaten by Si Yiming last time.

Mr. Zhai is very familiar with the furnishings of Ms. Huang's home, and even knows where the medicine box is. Ms. Huang asked Mr. Zhai to help her clean up the house before rushing out to work. This kind of trust is also extraordinary.

Although he didn't know why they weren't together, Gu Bai felt that there was definitely something tricky between these two people.

Gu Bai stared and told Zhai Liangjun, telling him step by step when to start the pot, when to add salt, and when to sprinkle some chopped green onion. It didn’t have any difficulty for Zhai Liangjun to stir fry without using his brain.

He successfully made a tomato scrambled egg, and it looked pretty good after smelling the taste and looking at the color.

"Interesting." Mr. Zhai commented, and then happily went out with his work.

Gu Bai glanced at him, heaved a sigh of relief, washed the pot and continued to do other things.

The dishes prepared for Ms. Huang are very rich, and because Mr. Zhai also eats here, Gu Bai also made another dish of hot and sour chicken offal.

Gu Bai looked at Ms. Huang who was eating happily, and then at Mr. Zhai who placed the plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes at the place closest to Ms. Huang, bowed his head and silently ate the rice.

"I did it!" Zhai Liangjun pushed the plate of tomato scrambled eggs forward.

Huang Yining looked at Gu Bai who was nodding, and then at Zhai Liangjun. After responding unhurriedly, with Zhai Liangjun's expectant eyes, she picked up scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

But no evaluation.

The light in Mr. Zhai's eyes disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Gu Bai glanced at this and then at that, unable to help.

The meal was a little silent.

When Gu Bai was about to clean up the bowls and chopsticks, he looked at the scrambled eggs with tomatoes that were eaten up, at Ms. Huang who ate up the scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and at Mr. Zhai who was listless. Say something to comfort him, and Huang Yining took the used chopsticks in his hand.

Ms. Huang broke the pair of chopsticks with a "click", and then stretched out her hand, grabbed Mr. Zhai by the collar and pulled him up.

Gu Bai stared blankly at the chopsticks that had been broken into two pieces, dazed.

And Huang Yining showed him a beautiful and gentle smile, and said, "It's delicious, thank you for the hospitality."

Gu Bai looked at the chopsticks, then at Ms. Huang, and nodded stupidly.

So Ms. Huang dragged the listless Mr. Zhai away.

Gu Bai sent them to the door, and then watched helplessly as Ms. Huang dragged Mr. Di into his house.

Gu Bai closed the door to clean up the dishes, looked at the pair of broken chopsticks, puzzled.

Is this some special way of saying thank you?

Gu Bai held the pair of chopsticks in a daze, finally threw them into the trash can, and silently went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

After washing the dishes, Gu Bai went up to the second floor in a hurry, facing the huge painting that was only painted with background color, he tied an apron on himself, took a brush and carried a small ladder and went up.

Gu Bai drew this Pixiu picture based on his impression of that dream, and the style is more like the traditional mural painting effect of Huaguo.

Gu Bai plans to use gold and silver foils to emphasize the lines and the Pixiu as the main body of the picture when finishing the details.

This painting is a horizontal rectangle, and the main body of Pixiu occupies two-thirds of the right side of the whole painting.

The remaining third on the left is the surging white auspicious clouds constructed by Gu Bai after processing and deforming the ominous darkness in his previous dreams.

The roaring Pixiu is wearing a golden armor, and brings a billowing white auspicious cloud as he walks.

After reading through the materials, Gu Bai set the background element for this painting as the ancient army with high morale.

The battle flag embroidered with Pixiu is fluttering, the sergeant is wearing black armor, the horse neighing under his crotch, the spear and spear are in his hands, the shield soldiers in the front row are silent and steady like a mountain, and the long-distance hands with bows and arrows in the back stand on a high place and look out. support.

The master of Pixiu is majestic, just like the roaring beast in the main body of the picture.

This kind of picture has only one layer of background color, the background color on the background is yellowish and dark, so as to express the dust raised by the horses and sergeants during the march and the dark atmosphere of wartime.

Corresponding to the gray scale of the background is the brightness of the main Pixiu.

Gu Bai adjusted a lot of colors, each color is extremely saturated, bright and unassuming.

Gu Bai was very impressed with the divine beast he saw in that dream. After repeated recollections for a period of time, his mind was filled with that ball of white light with a chilling aura of righteousness that tore through the ominous darkness. An empty picture.

Gu Bai restored that chilling and awe-inspiring originality, not to mention, he even emphatically reflected this through the background.

Gu Bai felt that he could not guarantee that Mr. Si would be absolutely satisfied after seeing this painting, but he could ask himself, he definitely put all his heart and soul into making this painting.

Gu Bai squatted at home and drew for more than a week. There are too many details in this painting, and it is only a little easier to paint than the previous 3D wall.

This one painting cost him two sets of pens and three sets of paints, and the loss of other materials and utensils is almost negligible compared to the pens and paints.

Gu Bai carefully mixed an appropriate amount of gold leaf powder into the golden paint, and after some adjustments, he covered the last tiny scale on Pixiu's dragon tail with a layer of shiny gold leaf.

Done!

Gu Bai climbed down from the small ladder, patted the apron he was wearing with gold leaf powder on his hand, and retreated to the French window to look at this huge painting, feeling elated.

Let it dry for a while and it will be completely dry, just now you can ask Mr. Si to come and have a look!

Gu Bai looked down at his dirty hands and sloppy clothes and apron, and knew that he couldn't go to see the benefactor like this, so he happily ran into the bathroom on the second floor with his painting tools and hummed. .

The paintbrushes and brushes that were not cleaned up in time because of too much dedication to painting before are basically irreparable, but the palette that Gu Bai uses quite smoothly can still be saved.

Gu Bai used turpentine to clean up the paint stained on his hands and palette, squeezed some hand sanitizer and rubbed it, and restored the white, clean and fragrant state again.

He took off his apron and oversized work clothes, threw them away, checked the time, and was just about to go out to find Si Yiming when he received a WeChat message from his senior brother.

It was the brother who said he wanted to cooperate with Gu Bai on a new project.

The content of the WeChat message he sent is also very clear, it is about the next project.

The Xigu Exhibition Hall, No. 033, Shuangjie Road, Wuzang District, S City, officially started construction on September [-]th. It is [-] square meters and the construction period is three weeks. The theme is grassland art exhibition, pure hand-painted murals.

Even with the design and the finished product, Party A bids [-] square meters, and the cost of materials can be reimbursed.

Senior brother takes six and Gu Bai gets four, and the extra point is considered as the money introduced by the senior brother as an intermediary project.

This is really a lot of benefits! !

It's only August [-]nd today, and there is still a month before he can find inspiration and goof around!

Gu Bai chose to agree without hesitation, and was even very flattered.

The senior brother replied OK, and then told Gu Bai to go to the field trip a week in advance, and after getting an affirmative answer, he sent a head-touching emoji.

Gu Bai calculated the small money he could get in this project, plus the money from the previous project, big red envelopes, and bits and pieces of private bills. When he calculated the total amount, Gu Bai was so happy that he just wanted to Rolling on the ground.

—— Making money is not as difficult as imagined! !

Gu Bai didn't roll on the ground, but he couldn't control himself, he couldn't help but rolled around on the sofa, kicked his legs happily while hugging the cushion, and threw the cushion away after he finished kicking. I went to knock on Si Yiming's door.

Si Yiming opened the door, looked at Gu Bai's happy smiling face, turned his eyes around his hands, and found that there was no dessert, raised his brows: "What's wrong?"

"Mr. Si, I'm done painting!" Gu Bai was so happy that he couldn't control his volume, "Your painting!"

Looking at his excited look, Si Yiming could roughly guess why Gu Bai was so happy.

After the painting is finished, it means that I can get paid from him.

The reward is a stock that goes up and down continuously for at least a month.

Si Yiming looked at Gu Bai, and found that his eyes were almost overflowing with anticipation, so he slowly changed his shoes, and followed Gu Bai to his house.

Si Yiming had read the line draft.

He was quite satisfied with the line draft, but the feeling of the black and white line draft is completely different from the complete and colored finished drawing.

——Beating Si Yiming to death did not expect Gu Bai to draw such a big picture.

Even Si Yiming was speechless for a moment when he saw the paintings on the wall.

But excluding the big point, Si Yiming is very, very satisfied with the painting itself.

He saw the aura visible to the naked eye from this painting, and the chilling righteousness that came from the same source as him was so strong and sharp that it almost didn't require him to use his own strength to attach to the painting.

"Very good!" Si Yiming commented simply and neatly.

Gu Bai's eyes brightened up.

Si Yiming is going to send this painting to the hall of the property to hang it up. With this painting in place, even if Si Yiming himself leaves for a month, there will be no such thing as before where demons dance around in just a few days .

This really helped the boss!

Si Yiming looked at Gu Bai with a subtle eagerness in his eyes.

These beasts of theirs have been working overtime for hundreds of years! !

A class of hundreds of years! !

No vacation! !

Gu Xiaobai is simply the savior of the beast! !

"Do you want the reward now?" Si Yiming asked.

Gu Bai thought for a while about the 4-odd petty money for his next project, held back his eagerness to move, and shook his head: "Not for now."

Si Yiming nodded, anyway, he would not renege on his debt.

But after confirming that Gu Bai has such a powerful ability, he has something to ask Gu Bai for help.

"Do you have time this month?" Si Yiming asked him.

"Huh?" Gu Bai was taken aback for a moment, thought for a while, and then replied, "My next job is at the beginning of September, but I'm going to collect folk songs."

Gu Bai has never seen the grassland, watching videos to find information is the next strategy when he has no money, but now that he has money, of course it is better to go and see it.

Si Yiming thought for a while, and then asked him, "Where are you going to collect music?"

Gu Bai obediently replied: "I haven't planned yet, but I'm going to see the grassland."

"Coincidentally." Si Yiming smiled, "Can you save X?"

The world's largest alpine meadow grassland!

If you go, I will pay for everything along the way!

The author has something to say: Gu Bai: Mr. Si is really rich!

Si Yiming: To be able to get rid of hundreds of years of overtime work, mere money is nothing!What is the natural dignity of a mere Pixiu!
