Chapter 82: Chapter 74: Five-finger GirlSophie had to patiently explain, "This here is the essence of ancient Chinese freehand painting. You must know that what you usually see is the exquisite painting style of the West, which is realistic, while the ancient Chinese paintings are all freehand. In other words, they are not actually painting, but rather expressing the artist’s inner feelings through an image, or say, a bird... Look at this painting by Eight Great Mountains, the dim sky, just a broken tree branch between heaven and earth, with an old black crow losing feathers perched on it. This actually expresses the artist’s lonely inner world and at the same time aligns with a kind of bleak beauty of old vines, ancient trees, and dusk crows..." But for poor Sophie, talking about art with two big savages was like playing music to cows, like a fairy tale! Lin Mu nodded somewhat understandingly, which meant his comprehension was relatively higher, while Earth Wolf, this clueless guy, might never figure out in his lifetime why a great painter depicted a bird as if it were an old black chicken, and the worst part is, it’s actually called a masterpiece and a treasure. Oh my God, if this counts as national essence, then if I, Earth Wolf, doodle with a paintbrush, can’t I also sell it for a good price? "Hmm, I realized something!" Lin Mu seemed to have an epiphany, "What did you realize?" Sophie asked, "I realized that the meaning of this painting is definitely not just about its high price!" "Uh," Sophie rolled her eyes, "That’s a given, duh!" "What do you mean duh?" Lin Mu argued, "This is called logical analysis, don’t you understand deduction? Like Sherlock Holmes, you know?" Sophie was almost amused to the point of anger by this silly man, "Alright, then analyze it for me!" "Uh, honestly, I haven’t deduced anything!" Lin Mu spread his hands, disappointedly said, but then he turned, "But an old fellow in my hometown, well-experienced and crafty like an old fox, I’ll snap some photos for him to see, maybe he could figure out something!" "Indeed, an old person at home is like a treasure!" Sophie thought Lin Mu was talking about a neighbor, "Yes, and an amusing old treasure! But the only good thing this amusing old treasure did was to hook us up together..." Uh, Sophie then realized, the old treasure Lin Mu mentioned was actually his biological grandpa. There are truly such odd grandpa-grandson pairs in the world, even their names are unique! Lin Mu took out his phone, snapped a few close-ups of the painting, saved them, and sent via MMS. Then, he and Sophie hid the famous painting, locked the safe, and left the storage room. "Oh gosh, I’m so hungry..." Earth Wolf clutched his stomach, called out, "I haven’t had dinner yet!" "Uh, you fatty, thinking about food all day long. Just change your name to Piggy Nine next!" Lin Mu jokingly cursed, "Well, boss, that’s a good name!" Earth Wolf stuck out his thumb, "If only my parents were as cultured as you, look at the name they gave me, Earth Wolf, so rustic and sleazy. How the heck does that even sound like a person’s name?" Lin Mu pretended to be mad and slapped Earth Wolf on the shoulder, "Damn, fatty, sweet-talking again, are you trying to get me to treat you to a meal?" Earth Wolf still grinning cheekily, "Boss, seems like nothing can escape your sharp eyes! Since you’ve mentioned it, I can’t refuse now..." "Damn..." Lin Mu was instantly speechless; this fatty was getting bolder by the day! "How about we eat in Yunhai Restaurant, I’ll treat you to a canteen meal!" President Su suggested, Unexpectedly, Earth Wolf waved his hands repeatedly, "Ever since I came to Wancheng, it’s like the boss placed me at Yunhai Mansion as a little security guard, living and eating in Yunhai every day. Although the food in Yunhai canteen is good, people get tired of having rich food daily, right? So I want to go out for barbecue, drink beer, like gulping down large bottles, how about it, boss? Come with me!" Damn it, this fatty could be as clingy as a girl when acting coy. Lin Mu finally gave in, slapped his sizable rear, "Alright, I agree! Piggy Nine!" "Thank you, boss!" Earth Wolf beamed, dragging Lin Mu out running, Lin Mu was still a bit worried about Sophie’s safety, "Feifei, why don’t you join us for a barbecue..." Sёarch* The nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Uh, President Su was at a loss, the dignified president of a Fortune 500 company, going out with two country bumpkins for midnight barbecue, now what would that look like! "Forget it, I prefer dining in the Yunhai canteen, plus Zhao Pengcheng and the team have upgraded the surveillance system, I’m very safe, you can go out and have fun!" Miss Su was truly sensible, to have such a profound and understanding wife in the future would be a lifetime blessing! Lin Mu felt his admiration for Miss Su grow a bit more! Lin Mu and Earth Wolf left Yunhai Mansion, and right by the roadside was a barbecue shop called "Fatty Lamb Leg". Earth Wolf saw it and was delighted, "Hehe, I’m a fatty right here, just in front of home, hmm, not bad, this is the place!" The waiter welcomed Lin Mu and Earth Wolf in, bringing the menu, "Gentlemen, what would you like to order?" Earth Wolf closed the menu book and returned it to the waiter, "No need to order, bring everything on the menu once..." The poor little waiter was dumbfounded, "Gentlemen, there are just two of you... can you eat all of this?" Earth Wolf chuckled, secretly thinking, just wait and see, soon you’ll find this isn’t enough just for me! Lin Mu also smiled and came over to back Earth Wolf up, "Do as he says, also add more lamb kidneys and sheep kidneys, and two cases of beer..." The little waiter almost popped his eyes out, ordering everything once and two cases of beer! In this business for years, never seen such foodies who can eat that much! "What? Didn’t you hear my big brother?" Earth Wolf shouted, "Afraid I can’t pay?" "Yes, yes!" The little waiter answered timidly and hurriedly went in to prepare. The barbecue shop served ready-to-eat food, so the dishes came quickly, and soon the table was filled with lamb leg, steak, chicken wings, fish bones, etc., "Eat, eat..." "Drink..." The two were urging each other to stuff their stomachs with meat, drink beer, and soft drinks! Then the lamb kidneys and sheep kidneys that Lin Mu ordered were brought out, Earth Wolf eyed them like a greedy cat, "Boss, this stuff is really nourishing! Eat this and I guarantee your thing will stand tall all night, no drooping! Are you planning to find a chick tonight?" "Leak your sister!" Lin Mu reached out and gave him a slap, "I’ve got Five-finger Girl to serve me, you know?"
