MTL - The Squeamish Little Brother of the Actor-Chapter 22 Phoenix
I love this piano
Chen Yao and Xiu Zhi'an live in a wealthy villa area not far from the old house.
Chen Yao knew they were coming today, so he postponed his work and deliberately stayed at home.
When they got out of the car, Chen Yao was already holding Cat Chen and waiting for the door.
Chen Mao was very quiet when he was hugged by him today, lying in his arms obediently, his big tail swaying from time to time.
Seeing a stranger coming, its squinting golden eyes suddenly widened, and its little head moved forward.
"Hello, Xiaoling, come to see Huo Cat?" Chen Yao greeted him by grabbing one of Cat Chen's paws.
Ran Dongling approached and saw Chen Mao's face clearly. He thought of black impermanence when he saw the photo yesterday.
At a glance today, Chen Mao really looks like Hei Wuchang, not only in appearance, but also in his eyes, all with golden eyes, but Chen Mao is not as fat as Hei Wuchang.
He shook his head and corrected Chen Yao: "It's called Chen Mao, not Huo Mao."
"Isn't that Huo Cat? This cat has two names. You can call it Chen Mao or Huo Cat, right Huo Cat."
Chen Mao's ears moved when he heard the words "Chen Mao", but he didn't react when he heard the words "Huo Mao".
Chen Mao watched him for a while, broke free from Chen Yao's arms, leaned against Ran Dongling's feet and meowed.
Ran Dongling was wearing a pair of light-colored trousers today.
"Tsk, this cat, come in first, your little Ang should be ready soon."
Xiu Zhi'an was still busy in the kitchen, and the two of them lived in the villa. Chen Yao thought it was inconvenient for someone at home, so he didn't invite an aunt to cook, but only invited an aunt to clean up every week Clean once.
He cooked several home-cooked dishes today, including steamed sea bass, crispy duck, braised pork ribs, stewed potatoes, fried prawns, and three fresh mushroom soup. Fried cauliflower.
The dessert he promised to make for Ran Dongling, he made two kinds of mango mousse and coconut milk red bean paste, and kept it for later.
Ran Dongling felt that the food cooked by Xiao An was very magical, and every dish was extremely delicious.
Xiu Zhian saw that every dish he ate was delicious, except that he had never eaten shrimp. He was afraid that the dishes he cooked would not suit his taste, so he asked him worriedly, "Xiaoling doesn't like it. Shrimp?"
Ran Dongling was still nibbling on the duck legs, with no space in his mouth, and shook his head at him.
Xiu Zhian didn't know if he didn't like to eat or if he didn't mean to.
After eating the duck legs, Ran Dongling said, "I like it, but no one will peel the shells for me."
He used to eat shrimp that was peeled by his father and brother, and he could eat it directly. He had never peeled the shell himself, and now he is facing a plate of shrimp that has not been peeled. How to speak.
It's not that I don't like shrimp, so Xiu Zhian is relieved.
Chen Yao, who was peeling Xiu Zhi'an, heard it, and also peeled two for him.
Ran Dongling looked at the extra shrimp in the plate, and was too embarrassed to pick it up. He felt that it would not be good for Xiao Ange's husband to peel him off.
And he can't eat the dishes of other people's husbands.
This kind of peeling should be done only by people who have a close relationship.
The relationship is close, yes, then let his future husband do it for him.
"Brother Qiu Ci, peel the shells for me, I want to eat shrimp."
put it on Ran Dongling's plate, and separated it from the shrimp that Chen Yao peeled.
Ran Dongling dared to eat shrimp now, the fried prawns were very tasty, and he could eat one at a time.
Chen Yao has also known Qiu Ci for a few years, and this is the first time I have seen him so used to people.
I can only sigh in my heart, sure enough, love can change a man.
After lunch, Ran Dongling took Qiu to the lobby on the first floor. When he entered the door, he noticed this piano.
He saw someone play it on TV before, it should be some kind of musical instrument, he tried to press the black and white keys a few times, and the sound of each key was different.
Press the black and white keys from the beginning to the end, and the piano ding ding dong dong makes a smooth sound.
He seemed to have found something interesting and was eager to share it with Qiu Ci.
"Brother Qiu Ci, look."
Chou Ci can play the piano.
He sat down on the piano bench and played "Wind and Flowers" for Ran Dongling.
"Wind" is a movie he made. The movie tells the story of a young and promising pianist who suffered an accident and became deaf in both ears The place where he ended his life and found the story of the true meaning of the piano to him along the way.
"Wind and Flowers" is a song played by the pianist at the end, with a warm and cheerful tune.
Ran Dongling hasn't seen the movie, but I can only hear this piano song, which makes me feel very happy.
When Qiu Ci finished playing, he said, "Brother Qiu Ci, I can also play the piano."
"Really?"
Chou Ci didn't look like he could play the piano just now.
"It's not this kind of qin, it's... a guqin? I don't know if there is any here."
The ancient qin should be called the guqin.
Xiu Zhian came to them with dessert, and heard Ran Dongling say, "Chen Yao seems to have a guqin."
Although Chen Yao doesn't know how to play, he really has one, which is the novice he bought when he was looking for inspiration.
Found a dusty guqin in the piano room, Xiu Zhian wiped the guqin clean.
Ran Dongling learned his piano skills from his father. He put on finger cots and played a "Little Song in the Woods" for them.
"Hmm...five or six years."
Ran Dongling likes this guqin very much, it is the most familiar thing he has seen in modern times, and asked Chen Yao if he could give it to him.
Chen Yao's violin is just a novice, and the quality of the materials is not good.
"I know a friend who specializes in guqin and zither. If Xiaoling wants it, I'll go to him and make it for you."
Ran Dongling said gloomily, "But I have no money."
A good piano will cost a lot of money. If it is customized by someone, it will be more expensive.
He saw that Chen Yao's piano was not made of good materials, so he dared to ask him what he wanted.
"What are you afraid of, your brother Qiu Ci has money, but buying seven or eight is not a problem.. Ouch.. What." Ann gave an elbow.
The friend Chen Yao said was in a hidden shop in the old city. The exterior decoration was still the decoration of the Republic of China. Decades of time made his appearance look very tattered, even The sign on the door is crooked.
Chen Yao explained to them that this friend's technique of making qin was handed down from generation to generation, passed down from generation to generation, and it has been passed down to sixteen generations.
But the piano is really good.
The interior decoration of the store is still in the style of the Republic of China. Ran Dongling walked into the store and found that the place inside is not large, and there are not many guqins and zithers, only a few.
"You kid, bring someone to trick me again." An old man with a white beard came out from behind the counter. He was very happy to see someone coming in, and when he saw Chen Yao who came in behind, his white beard shook. shake.
The production time of the custom-made piano is too long, Qiu Ci asked Ran Dongling if she wanted to pick one first.
Ran Dongling looked at Zhang Qin, and stopped when she saw the last one.
The white-bearded old man smiled when he saw him stop there, Chen Yao leaned over to take a look, and glanced at the price bar next to him.
Good guy, more than half a million.
The old man said with a smile: "You child has a good eye and understands the qin. Phoenix is my proud work. It took me two years to find the right materials."
Ran Dongling didn't understand Qin, so the reason why he stopped in front of Fenghuangyi was simply because Phoenix was good-looking, and he fell in love at a glance.
"Brother Qiu Ci, I like this piano."
Ran Dongling looked at Qin with bright eyes, it was rare to see him like something.
Chou Ci must satisfy him of course.
The piano that had been pressed for several years was finally bought. The old man was so happy that for the first time he felt that Chen Yao did not cheat him.
When making payment, Ran Dongling saw Qiu Ci took a card and swiped it on the black box.
?
He couldn't turn his head around, shouldn't the people here pay with paper money?
