Shenhao with a learning panel

That night, the typing on the keyboard didn't stop until three o'clock in the morning.

At 6:30 in the morning, the waves outside the window were one after another. You chased me, teased each other, and kept colliding. There was the sound of waves of water, coming and going, over and over again, as if it would never end. stop.

Li Shi was woken up by the sound of waves.

He lay on the bed, stretched out and stood up. He felt that except for a few pillowcases next to him, it was quite a good life to fall asleep to the sound of the waves and then wake up to the sounds of the waves again. He could live there once in a while. , very comfortable.

After washing up, Li Shi came directly to the desk.

Normally, he would make a pot of tea and then start doing morning lessons, which would be half an hour of calligraphy practice.

But when staying in a hotel, he basically doesn’t use the cups in the hotel, so making tea is unnecessary.

"I'll ask Senior Brother Wang later where the sea view rooms in Yancheng are better. When I buy a house, I'll add two sets of high-quality tea sets."

With Li Shi thinking like this, he didn't go to study ink and practice calligraphy. Instead, he directly opened his laptop and continued writing the manuscript.

Human memory, including body movement memory, has a tendency to forget. Therefore, there is a saying in Liyuan: "If you don't practice for one day, you will know it; if you don't practice for two days, your peers will know it; if you don't practice for three days, the outsiders will know it." It's not so exaggerated in calligraphy, but generally speaking, you need to practice it frequently.

Even great calligraphers such as Yan Zhenqing and Wang Xizhi must have lived to be old and must practice calligraphy every day until they are old, otherwise the feeling in their hands will fade away.

Throughout history, perhaps only Li Shi could escape this rule.

Now that he has created a masterpiece and been promoted (Professional+), he no longer has to spend thirty minutes to an hour doing calligraphy exercises like before - three to five days, or one session a week. That's enough.

With a physique as strong as a monster and the blessing of a permanent certificate from the learning panel, he doesn't have to worry about his calligraphy skills deteriorating at all!

When I finished writing the article at 7:10, Wang Jianmu, who had made an appointment to have breakfast with me today, sent me a WeChat message: "Brother Li, are you up? That's it, my friend who went to the auction with me knew that I was coming to see you today, so he kept pestering me. I also want to come together, do you think I should reject him?"

Li Shi didn't care and replied: "It's okay. Didn't you tell me that this friend of yours is also a local calligrapher? It would be nice to come and chat together."

"Okay, then we'll be here right away. We'll be there in about twenty minutes!"

"Row."

Li Shi counted the time, saved the manuscript document, backed up the book in the cloud, and turned off the computer.

After changing clothes, I put the two works in a cylinder, put them in my backpack, and then played with my mobile phone on the sofa in the living room.

I watched the news for a while first, then opened the short video software and searched for it, and found that the video of "Sword Fairy in the Smoke Sea" had further fermented. It was even forwarded by many central media accounts, and it received a lot of likes and comments.

In his comment area, many netizens were debating whether special effects were added to the video.

Li Shi decisively stood on the side of "adding special effects" and said, "How can someone jump so high in reality? Special effects must be added!", and then smiled and liked all the comments that held this view.

Not long after, the doorbell rang, and Wang Jianmu and his child arrived.

His childhood name is Qin Zhaowen, and he is the same age as him, and they are both thirty-five this year. The difference is that he is a prodigal son, not yet married at the age of thirty-five, and he is planning to remarry after his childhood divorce.

"Brother, what do you want to eat in the morning?"

The three of them exchanged a few words and then went downstairs together. After entering the elevator, Wang Jianmu asked.

Li Shi smiled and said: "You are the landlord, I listen to you."

“Then let’s eat Yang Kee beef grits.”

Beef grits is actually a kind of beef porridge. After they went downstairs, Wang Jianmu rushed to a shop near the West Bus Station. After tasting it, Li Shi felt that it was quite tasty. It was different from the ordinary porridge he usually drank in Nanhu Province. The porridge is made from beef bones and flour, with onion, ginger, salt and other condiments added. The thick texture is full of unique fragrance.

And just like the mutton soup steamed buns in Xijing, this beef grits is more flavorful when paired with freshly baked crispy fried dough sticks, which is especially good for breakfast.

Qin Zhaowen went to a shop next door to buy some puff pastry and cooked it. He asked the shop owner for a bowl, put it on a plate and brought it to Li Shi. He said respectfully: "Teacher Li, try it. This puff pastry is freshly made." Yes, it tastes very good, especially the spicy squid, but it’s quite spicy.”

Wang Jianmu next to him smiled and said: "He is from Nanhu Province and grew up eating spicy food."

Li Shi picked up one and tasted it. It was indeed good. The outside was crispy and the inside was delicious and spicy. It was very enjoyable to eat.

Everyone chatted while eating, because Li Shi had said that the matter of "Sword Immortal in the Smoke Sea" should be kept secret, so Wang Jianmu did not mention it, but he talked about the auction of his calligraphy works.

When he mentioned this, Qin Zhaowen suddenly said excitedly: "Now the results of the auction have spread throughout the calligraphy circle, and everyone is discussing you, including our city calligraphy association group. They all say that you are a great calligrapher who emerged from nowhere. "

As he spoke, he looked at Li Shi's face and couldn't help but add: "Who would have thought that Teacher Li, who was praised by Mr. Zhong Yi as a calligrapher who is rare in 500 years and is now one of the most valuable calligraphers in collections, would actually Such a handsome young man, if I tell you about him, everyone’s jaws will be shocked.”

Li Shi smiled and said: "Young man? I'm almost thirty, but I have a tender face. Also, don't be too polite. Just like Senior Brother Wang, we are equals and we don't need to use honorific titles all the time."

"That won't work!" Qin Zhaowen shook his head, glanced at Fa Xiao next to him, and smiled at Li Shi, "He is him, and I am me. He and you are similar in martial arts. , but you and I have to discuss calligraphy. In this aspect, I am far behind you. A master is a teacher. I would like to ask you for calligraphy lessons in the future."

When he spoke, his attitude was somewhat flattering, and he also took the opportunity to try to express his little thoughts.

But Qin Zhaowen didn't notice that Wang Jianmu next to him had an unnatural look on his face after listening to his words - Wang Jianmu used to think that Li Shi was at best born with supernatural power and was no better than him in martial arts cultivation, until he saw this time. After watching the video of "Sword Immortal in the Sea of ​​Smoke" and listening to Li Shi's explanation of the cultivation and application of "Strength" in the group, I realized that he had already surpassed me by a lot.

In the martial arts hobby group, several other people have always called Li Shi "Teacher Li". He calls him "Brother, Brother" purely because he is thick-skinned.

Here, Li Shi killed a fire and said with a smile: "This is easy to talk about. Let's add WeChat. If you have any calligraphy questions in the future, you can ask me directly on WeChat."

"well!"

Qin Zhaowen had actually been looking for an opportunity to ask for Li Shi's contact information. When he saw that he actually offered to add WeChat, and also said that if he had any calligraphy problems, he could ask him directly for advice, so he quickly took out his mobile phone in a hurry.

After that, his attitude towards Li Shi became more and more respectful.

In the meantime, Li Shi received a call and when he went outside to answer the call, Wang Jianmu couldn't help but ask him sideways: "What's going on with you today? I've never seen you be so respectful to a peer, and you just added a WeChat message. Why are you so excited?"

Li Shi was not here, Qin Zhaowen took a slow sip of porridge, then looked back at Fa Xiao with a look that you don't understand, and said: "You are not involved in the calligraphy and painting world, and you are not a collector, so you don't understand the level of Mr. Li's calligraphy. How high it is, I don’t understand what it means for a calligraphy to be competed for by so many big collectors and finally sold for more than two million yuan..."

As he spoke, a smile appeared on his face. His debut work can directly receive high praise and endorsement from Mr. Zhong Yi, and it can directly be included in a large auction and be the final lot, which is enough to show that Li Shi has a very deep background in the industry.

More importantly, after reading his works, I found that all the praises given by Mr. Zhong Yi are really not exaggerated. His calligraphy level has indeed reached an extremely high level. From the perspective of Qin Zhaowen's experienced calligraphy, it is no less than today's calligraphy. The top few of the world pyramid!

Facts have proved that Qin Zhaowen was not wrong. That work was eventually competed by many well-known collectors, and was finally sold for an astonishing more than two million yuan.

Now I know that this person is so young, then in the future...

"Teacher Li said that I can ask him directly for advice at any time if I have any questions. If I ask him for advice more times in the future, wouldn't I be able to confirm the relationship between master and disciple?"

Qin Zhaowen couldn't help but feel happy when he thought of this.

If you can really become this student, not to mention your future growth in calligraphy skills and your future status in the calligraphy world, but in the future, when the time is right, you can ask our teacher for a word or two, that would be beautiful!

He made up his mind to seize the opportunity!

Qin Zhaowen put away his smile, turned to Wang Jianmu and asked, "How long will Teacher Li stay in Yancheng? Have I told you what the plans are for you later?"

Before Wang Jianmu could answer, Li Shi had already walked in with a backpack on his back. After he sat down, he asked: "Brother Wang, I like Yancheng very much. I plan to buy a house here and come here for vacation in the future. It's nice." A place to stay.”

Qin Zhaowen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately said: "Teacher Li, I am familiar with buying a house. I just bought a new house some time ago. At that time, I learned about most of the better real estate in Yancheng. , if you have any requirements, I can help you refer to them."

Wang Jianmu was also very happy when he heard that Li Shi was going to buy a house in Yancheng. He was not familiar with everyone and was cheeky. He had repeatedly invited Li Shi to visit Yancheng before because he thought Li Shi was an extraordinary person, so he wanted to make friends with him.

He immediately said: "Yes, you first tell us your requirements and budget, and let Zhaowen make recommendations. He has been looking at houses some time ago and has changed to a larger one, which he plans to use as a wedding room in the future."

Li Shi: "I only have one request: to be able to see the sea. The more beautiful the sea view, the better."

The main reason why he is planning to buy a house in Yancheng is to celebrate and commemorate that after he watched the sea here, he was promoted to the pinnacle of calligraphy and a divine work successively (professional+), and stood at the pinnacle of calligraphy. !

The sea view here played an important role in this process.

To borrow a saying from Xianxia novels, this is the place where he achieved enlightenment in calligraphy.

Moreover, the seascape here has faint haze and purple air rising, which is in line with the description of fairyland in traditional culture, and he likes it very much.

As for the disadvantages of the sea view room, such as being damp and windy at the seaside, they are not important to him.

He doesn't plan to live here permanently, he only comes here occasionally for vacations or something.

When Qin Zhaowen heard that Li Shi wanted to choose a sea-view room, he immediately looked happy and asked, "What about the area and budget?"

Li Shi said with a smile: "The area is larger. If the budget is several million, it can be 10 to 20 million."

He is used to living in a more open space now.

Qin Zhaowen immediately said: "That is a sea view villa or a flat floor with a sea view. If the focus is on beautiful sea views, it must be a flat floor with a first-line sea view... It happened that what I bought some time ago was the top luxury house launched by Yancheng in the past two years, called Tian In Xiangcheng, they have a line of large flats very close to the sea. Each unit is 560 square meters. The current average price is about , but it is said that the price will increase in a while. "

Qin Zhaowen is a wealthy local, and there must be a reason for him to be able to choose a mansion.

Li Shi immediately said: "Let's go take a look later."

So, the three of them had breakfast and drove Wang Jianmu's Mercedes-Benz straight to the hotel.

"This Tianxiang City is not far from the hotel where you are staying, between Tianma Zhanqiao and Jinshatan Wetland Park."

As soon as Qin Zhaowen said it, Li Shi was immediately impressed. He had been walking on the beach a lot these days and passed by that place.

Qin Zhaowen did know a lot about real estate in Yantai, especially luxury houses. On the way, he introduced some information about other sea-view houses to Li Shi. He had seen them in person when he bought a house, so he was very specific.

After an introduction, he said with a smile: "Teacher Li, if you want to buy an existing house, you can consider Marbella and Tianyue Bay. The sea views in these two communities are also very beautiful. If you don't care about handing over the house in February next year, then I Highly recommend Tianxiang City so I can be your neighbor.”

Li Shi doesn't care about existing houses or off-plan houses. He just wants a good sea view and a big house.

"Let's go take a look first and then talk."

Qin Zhaowen smiled and said, "Okay, I'll contact the real estate consultant where I bought the house first."

His real estate consultant is the sales manager of this property, a middle-aged man named Hu who is a little fat.

When Li Shi and the others arrived, Manager Hu was already waiting at the door.

He warmly welcomed me into the sales department and introduced the specific information of the community to the sand table in detail.

This community specializes in large flats and garden houses. Qin Zhaowen bought the No. 37 house as a wedding house. He basically couldn't see the sea from there.

Li Shi pointed to the No. 1 building closest to the sea and asked: "In this building, which floors are there?"

Manager Hu immediately said: "Building No. 1 is the king of our buildings and has the best sales. Most of the floors have been sold. Only the third, fourth and 23rd floors, as well as the top 26th floor, are still there."

Li Shi: "Can I go and see it on site?"

Manager Hu smiled and said: "Of course, the house is actually completed."

He quickly sent someone a few hard hats, and then took Li Shi and others into the community. As he walked, he also introduced the facilities of the community to Li Shi: "As the most luxurious mansion in the local area, our community has Very professional private butler service, in terms of hardware facilities..."

Li Shi listened. He actually didn't care too much about these things. He mainly wanted to see the sea view in person.

As soon as I reached a building, my phone in my pocket rang. I took it out to unlock it and checked. It was a WeChat message from Jin Ziyan, my friend I made in Qinhuang City: "Li Shi, have you returned home from your trip?"

Li Shi typed: "Not yet, are you okay?"

Jin Ziyan: "I haven't replied yet, (smiley face). That's right, I want to ask you to take care of my cousin. She will go to your provincial TV station to participate in a Chinese-speaking program in a while." (End of Chapter)
