Future Shennong Space

After the meal, Mrs. Sterling gave a consultation on today's dinner, and it seemed that she was really interested in how to cook.Ji Mingxiao told her the detailed method.

"So it's similar to the recipe of paella." Mrs. Sterling suddenly realized, "This taste is really good."

"I've seen the recipe of paella, which requires a lot of ingredients, which is too time-consuming." Ji Mingxiao said, "This is just a simple ingredient, and it's faster to make."

"It's really amazing to make simple things delicious." Mrs. Sterling praised, and then she thought of one thing.

"Xiaoxiao, there will be a dinner party at home in two days, would you like to refer to the menu?" Mrs. Sterling said, "I really liked yesterday's dessert, maybe you can refer to the dessert. If you don't mind, Can you just add those snacks from yesterday?"

"Okay, those methods are actually very simple, and I can just teach them the methods." Ji Mingxiao was a little surprised, "Is there anything important about the dinner party?"

Mrs. Sterling covered her mouth and chuckled, "Of course, it's Xiao's birthday that day."

Shaw's birthday?Ji Mingxiao looked at Xiao who was calmly drinking tea beside him in surprise, why didn't he hear him mention it.

At this time last year, they had just known each other not long ago. Apart from spending time with him, Xiao spent more time doing all kinds of training. It was normal for him not to mention his birthday.But this year is coming, why didn't he tell himself?

Ji Mingxiao was almost aggrieved, and looked at him with a slight accusation—he didn't even prepare a birthday present.

Xiao looked at him a little unnaturally, coughed lightly and put down the cup.

"I never had the habit of celebrating birthdays before," he said. "If you don't believe me, you can ask my mother. She can testify that, except for coming-of-age ceremonies, I haven't held any birthday parties or anything like that."

"That's true," Mrs. Sterling said to Ji Mingxiao, "This kid has been having a bad temper since he was a child, and he's always happier on the training ground than at the banquet."

"However, he recently reappeared in everyone's sight after being silent for so long. Of course, he has to hold a banquet to announce his return. In addition..." Mrs. Sterling covered her mouth with a soft laugh, "Shaw Probably because I'm shy, there's something I haven't told you."

Um?Ji Mingxiao immediately looked at Xiao again.

Xiao picked up the cup uncomfortably, put it to his mouth and put it down before drinking.

"Hmm..." He looked at his mother hesitantly, and Mrs. Sterling looked at him with a smile, with encouragement in her eyes.

He moved his eyes to Ji Mingxiao again, and Ji Mingxiao looked at him expectantly.

He put his hand to his lips and coughed lightly, and then he seemed calm and said to Ji Mingxiao, "On the day of the dinner, I very much hope that you can attend as my companion."

Ji Mingxiao blinked, with a warm smile on his face.

"Of course," he said, "I'd love to."

--------------------------

That night, Ji Mingxiao put the pot of fantasy flowers that he just bought today on the bedside cabinet.The buds of this flower are already very large, as if they will open at any time.

He let go of his mental power, and he could see faint green light spots appearing on this small plant, but the number was very small and not obvious.

Probably this has been genetically adjusted, but not much.According to the information he queried on the interstellar network, this kind of flower often blooms in large areas at night, using light to attract prey to its range.Its pollen has a strong hallucinatory and hypnotic effect, especially when large areas of flowers continue to bloom. The pollen produced can make the prey fall into a deep dream, never wake up again, and finally become its nourishment.

However, a single flower does not have such an effect, and people have made some adjustments to it later, reducing the magic effect of its pollen, and it has become a very popular plant that can help people fall asleep.

He concentrated his mental energy on the green light spots, and controlled them to slowly move closer to the flower buds.This process is not easy, because it takes a lot of mental energy to control those small points of light.But fortunately, this plant is too small, and there are not many green light spots. He completed this process before exhausting all his mental power.

The buds bloomed slowly in front of his eyes.He removed the light in the room, and the gleaming blue-purple light softly illuminated a small area at the head of the bed, and a little fluorescent light spilled out from the center of the flower, floating upwards and then disappearing.

In his eyes, there are other green light spots mixed in, their number seems to have increased a lot suddenly, and their brightness has also increased a lot, actively dancing around the plants, the whole picture is like a dream.

Ji Mingxiao heaved a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face.This is a new function of mental power that he has only recently discovered. It can control the concentrated position of the light spot, and at the same time increase its number and vitality.And this ability acts on plants, which can speed up the growth process of plants, and the growth status of plants will also become very good.

Accompanied by the soft glow of the dream flower, Ji Mingxiao fell into a deep sleep, dreamless all night until dawn.

----------------

The next day Ji Mingxiao got up early in the morning full of energy. After the family had breakfast together, Mr. Sterling went to work, and Mrs. Sterling took Ji Mingxiao to receive some guests.

The most important of these guests is the best costume designer of Capital Star, who is responsible for the customization of high-end dresses, and the others are his assistants.

They came this time to deliver dinner dresses for the day after tomorrow.

Mrs. Sterling's gown had probably been prepared a long time ago, and this time it was mainly Xiao and his.

"Why do I have it too?" He asked Xiao quietly, "I don't remember seeing them, and they didn't measure my size either?"

Xiao glanced at him, "Who stipulates that you must meet to measure the size?"

Ji Mingxiao blinked, did he lack common sense again?Is it possible to measure using virtual images?

Xiao looked away, as if he suddenly became interested in the decoration of an ornament next to him.

"I just know the size," he said.

For some unknown reason, Ji Mingxiao's face suddenly turned red.

"Oh," he responded, and became interested in the ornament as well.

There are three sets of dresses, corresponding to different occasions.Xiao's uniforms are all military-style dresses, with epaulettes, collars and ribbons on the dresses, and medals on the chest, which look very dignified and majestic when worn on the body.Compared with the last time I saw Xiao wearing a military uniform, this kind of dress has an added elite aristocratic temperament besides being handsome and tall, making it almost impossible to take your eyes off him.

Ji Mingxiao's dresses are almost all in matching colors and styles, but he can't wear military dresses, he just made imitation military uniforms.It doesn't look as formal as a military dress, but the style is more free and can better highlight your own advantages.

Ji Mingxiao's current height is close to 1.8 meters. His body proportions are very good. In addition, he has not given up on physical training for a long time, and he looks slender and well-proportioned. Wearing this kind of dress is not inferior at all.Especially the waistline and the line of the legs, it feels a bit long-legged, and even the temperament is much calmer and more mature than before.

Xiao stared at the gentle young man in front of him, and suddenly felt a feeling of seeing him grow up and mature with his own eyes.

The blond-haired young designer's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward to make some adjustments on him, and immediately took out the electronic board excitedly like an inspiration burst and started writing and drawing, directly throwing everyone aside.

His assistant was probably used to his state, and calmly helped them change their dresses and put them away.

It took a while for the designer to clear up the things on hand, and said to Mrs. Sterling: "The dress still needs to be adjusted, and the final product will be delivered in the afternoon."

"The current dresses are already excellent," Mrs. Sterling praised reservedly, "I look forward to your perfecting them."

Because of the dress, half of the morning time has passed, but fortunately, it didn't delay the time to make lunch.Ji Mingxiao made shrimp dumplings that Xiao had always missed, and added a few simple home-cooked dishes and a sour bamboo shoot and old duck soup.

Shaw had the robot butler deliver Mr. Sterling's copy to his office ahead of time before the other three in the family sat down to lunch.

The small shrimp dumplings are limited to one bite, and the crystal clear skin reveals the light pink filling, which looks very cute.The filling uses traditional fresh shrimp, pork and fresh bamboo shoots, which are delicious and smooth.The old duck soup is also delicious, with a moderate sour taste, very appetizing. Although the other dishes are ordinary, they are also very good.

Forget about Xiao. According to Mrs. Sterling's usual appetite, she obviously couldn't help eating too much.

After lunch, Mrs. Sterling finally worried about a problem: "My dress was made a few days ago, if I still eat like this these two days - will I not be able to wear it on the day of the dinner?" ..."

Ji Mingxiao didn't have time to care about Mrs. Sterling's tangled dress issue, because today's matter is far from over.

In the afternoon, an old lady over 130 years old visited, she was Ji Mingxiao's etiquette teacher.

To be honest, Ji Mingxiao couldn't tell at all that this lady with excellent looks and spirit was over 100 years old.If he had already belonged to the Renrui level at this age in the past, so his attitude was a little frightening.

"Don't be nervous," Xiao comforted him, "Mrs. David was my etiquette teacher when I was young, and she is very kind."

Even though Xiao said so, Ji Mingxiao couldn't help being a little nervous when he thought of this lady's age.But after interacting with Mrs. David for an afternoon, he realized that he was really worrying too much.

"A formal dinner dress should also be formal. It is absolutely not allowed to stand out from the crowd and be unique. Any performance should be based on absolute respect for other people." The old lady explained to him kindly. They had already talked about some basic etiquette before. , with Ji Mingxiao's current memory, he can basically memorize it immediately, but there may be some mistakes when doing it.

However, Mrs. David is already very satisfied, and now she is introducing some matters that need to be paid attention to at the banquet.

"In addition to being formal, this kind of dinner is also a test of a person's self-cultivation and etiquette. In this kind of occasion, you can't rely on clothing and characteristics to stand out. Your attention." The old lady said to him.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have these yet, or you don't know enough. Just try to show your interest and respect when listening to other people's speeches, and be responsible for listening. This is the least error-prone. The most taboo is It is easy to become a joke if you still want to express yourself with only half the knowledge.”

"Don't talk about any sensitive topics related to religion, politics or other things. Any content that is likely to spoil the atmosphere and affect the mood and interest of other guests should be avoided as much as possible."

"Self-esteem is very important. When others smile at you, it doesn't mean they are friendly. It's just their etiquette..."

"Smile at them too, don't smile too brightly, it's the kind of smile that doesn't reveal itself..."

"Speak politely and modestly, even if you think there is something wrong with them, don't show your emotions in person..."

In one afternoon, Mrs. David explained in detail and seriously all the things that need attention at the dinner party.At the end of the etiquette class, Ji Mingxiao sincerely thanked Mrs. David, and the old lady smiled and hugged him.

"Shaw is a good boy and I'm very happy to see his partner," she said.

"Bless you, my children."
