After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Chapter 873 Mistaking Trash for Treasure

Since Chen Shishi had said so, Xu Bo'an naturally wouldn't mind, and nodded to Chen Shishi, saying, "Okay!"

Then Xu Bo'an tactfully left the room. Every time Chen Shishi changed her clothes, she would come out and ask Xu Bo'an for his opinion. Since they were all relatively light and thin clothes, Chen Shishi quickly changed into nearly twenty different types of clothes, but she still enjoyed it immensely.

Xu Bo'an sat on the sofa on the second floor, scrolling through his phone while watching the beautiful Chen Shishi constantly changing her outfits.

It must be said that this was truly a visual feast for Xu Bo'an.

After changing all her clothes, Chen Shishi said to Xu Bo'an, "Grandpa Mountain God, which of these clothes do you think looks best on me?"

These clothes were all selected by Xu Bo'an according to his own preferences. In addition, the person wearing these clothes is a stunning beauty like Chen Shishi, who not only has a hot figure but also a face that can topple kingdoms. Of course, each type of clothing has a unique flavor when worn.

However, Xu Bo'an thought that when women are trying on clothes, the thing they can't stand the most is hearing that every single one looks good. So, Xu Bo'an carefully selected the ten outfits he thought were the best from the pile of clothes and said to Chen Shishi, "You look great in all of these clothes, but these ten are the most beautiful!"

After hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Chen Shishi said to him, "Grandpa Mountain God, you are a supreme deity, and your judgment is absolutely excellent. I'll wear these ten sets of clothes for now, and I'll wear the rest later. Thank you, Grandpa Mountain God, for bestowing so many clothes upon me. I am very happy!"

Xu Bo'an said to Chen Shishi, "You are my subjects, so it is only right that I bestow some gifts upon you! By the way, have you eaten?"

Chen Shishi replied, "Not yet, Grandpa Mountain God!"

Xu Bo'an said, "That's perfect, let's have dinner together later!"

After Xu Bo'an finished speaking, he took out his phone and ordered some dishes at a relatively upscale restaurant in the nearby Wanda Plaza.

While waiting for the food, Xu Bo'an took Chen Shishi downstairs and sat on the sofa to watch TV for a while. Soon after, the delivery person arrived. High-end restaurants usually have staff come inside to help customers prepare for the meal, but Xu Bo'an thought it was not good for a beautiful woman like Chen Shishi to be seen by others, so he simply took the food inside and asked the delivery person to leave.

After Xu Bo'an carried the food to the kitchen, Chen Shishi followed him in and helped him set the food on the table. With the experience from last time, Chen Shishi was much more efficient in these actions, and soon the table was full of fragrant food.

Xu Bo'an, a modern man, eats these things every day and doesn't find them strange. But for Chen Shishi from the bonsai world, these dishes are like a Manchu Han Imperial Feast. Just smelling the delicious aroma makes Chen Shishi's mouth water.

Xu Bo'an couldn't help but laugh when he saw Chen Shishi's appearance. It wasn't that Xu Bo'an thought Chen Shishi was ignorant or was making fun of her, but rather that he simply found her very cute.

Of course, Xu Bo'an didn't laugh out loud to save Chen Shishi's face. Instead, he said to her, "Hurry up and sit down to eat!"

Chen Shishi looked at the food, her mouth watering, but she still behaved herself. She waited until Xu Bo'an took the first bite before she started eating.

Last time, Chen Shishi planned to serve Xu Bo'an her meal first before eating herself, but Xu Bo'an persuaded her to give up.

Although Xu Bo'an was fully capable of having Chen Shishi serve him meals, Xu Bo'an was a modern person who had been used to being independent since childhood. Suddenly being served meals by someone made him quite uncomfortable. Moreover, Xu Bo'an, who was born in the new era, felt a little unaccustomed to being served by everyone like this.

The two chatted and ate. After finishing their meal, Xu Bo'an was about to get up and clean up when Chen Shishi quickly said to him, "Grandpa Mountain God, please go and rest. I'll do this kind of work!"

Although Chen Shishi was born in a very backward era in the Bonsai World, where everything needed for daily life was created by people's hard work and there were no advanced things, she was a very intelligent person. After learning about the things in Xu Bo'an's house last time, she probably remembered the purpose of most of the household items.

Last time, after having dinner with Xu Bo'an, Chen Shishi watched him clean up and tried to do it herself. This time, she felt that she could clean up by herself and didn't need to trouble Grandpa Mountain God.

Xu Bo'an looked at Chen Shishi and said, "Do you know how to tidy up?"

Chen Shishi looked at Xu Bo'an with her bright eyes and said with a determined look, "Don't worry, Grandpa Mountain God, I promise I'll take good care of things for you!"

After Chen Shishi finished speaking, she saw that Xu Bo'an didn't quite trust her, so she reached out and gently pushed Xu Bo'an from the kitchen to the sofa in the living room, saying, "You are the high and mighty Mountain God Grandpa, so leave these chores to me. You can rest assured and relax!"

After settling Xu Bo'an onto the sofa, Chen Shishi made a playful gesture towards him before returning to the kitchen to tidy up. Since Xu Bo'an had ordered the food, it was served in disposable containers. However, unlike the cheap and poor-quality containers found in ordinary small restaurants, the disposable containers in high-end restaurants, while also disposable, looked very elegant and had beautiful designs.

While tidying up, Chen Shishi couldn't bear to throw away such nice things. After tidying up everything on the table, she washed all the empty food containers and put them together.

After sitting on the sofa and looking at his phone for a while, Xu Bo'an estimated that Chen Shishi should have finished tidying up by now, so why was she still busy in the kitchen?
Chen Shishi was, after all, from the bonsai world, and this was only the third time she had come to her room in the real world. Xu Bo'an was worried that she was not familiar with some things in the kitchen and that there might be some danger, so he got up from the sofa and walked towards the kitchen.

Upon hearing Xu Bo'an's footsteps, Chen Shishi looked up towards the kitchen doorway and said to him happily, "Grandpa Mountain God, do you like how I tidied up?"

Chen Shishi looked at Xu Bo'an with a face full of expectation, just like a child who had done a good deed and wanted to be praised by an adult, which was very cute.

Xu Bo'an glanced at the kitchen, and sure enough, the kitchen that had been messy just moments before had been cleaned up very neatly by Chen Shishi. Xu Bo'an praised Chen Shishi, "I didn't expect you to be able to clean the kitchen so well. Well done!"

Hearing the Mountain God's praise, Chen Shishi was very happy and said to him, "Thank you for your praise, Mountain God. I will definitely learn more in the future and help you manage everything in your celestial palace!"

When Xu Bo'an heard Chen Shishi describe his room as a "fairy palace," he found it quite interesting. However, since he played the role of a mountain god in the bonsai world, Chen Shishi's description of his room as a "fairy palace" was quite fitting.

Just as Xu Bo'an was about to speak, he suddenly noticed several clean disposable lunch boxes placed on the side of the table. Xu Bo'an found it very strange. Although he did not count how many lunch boxes there were, he remembered that there were only a few lunch boxes left on the table before the two of them ate. How come the number of lunch boxes on the table has increased instead of decreased?

His first reaction was that Chen Shishi might know some kind of magic, but upon closer inspection, it was impossible. If Chen Shishi really knew any magic, would she need to hide here to avoid the people from Juxiangfang? Would she need to be afraid of being hunted down after winning a Ferghana horse in a dance competition?
Thinking of this, Xu Bo'an quickly dismissed his own thoughts. Chen Shishi noticed that Xu Bo'an was staring at a corner of the table without saying a word, so she spoke first and asked, "Grandpa Mountain God, what's wrong?"

After hearing Chen Shishi's words, Xu Bo'an came back to his senses and said to Chen Shishi, "Oh, it's nothing. I just found those disposable bowls a bit strange. I clearly remember there were very few left just now, how come there are more now! Could it be that I'm seeing things?"

Upon hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Chen Shishi laughed and said to him, "Grandpa Mountain God, you are so powerful, how could you be mistaken? You didn't see wrong, there really were very few bowls and plates left. But I thought they were so pretty that I couldn't bear to throw them away, so I washed them and put them there!"

After hearing Chen Shishi's words, Xu Bo'an realized that he had been overthinking things. It wasn't that Chen Shishi had some kind of magic that made the dishes multiply, but rather that her diligence and frugality had made all the dishes clean.

Xu Bo'an even suspected that Chen Shishi was hiding some skill, which was rather frightening. If Chen Shishi possessed a skill, it meant that others in the Bonsai World also had it. Although he acted as the Mountain God Grandpa in the Bonsai World, the only difference between him and the people in the Bonsai World was that he was born later and lived in a peaceful era of high-tech development. The reason why the people in the Bonsai World regarded him as a mysterious Mountain God Grandpa was mostly due to Xu Bo'an using modern technology to help them, which made them think that the Mountain God Grandpa was omnipotent. But in reality, only Xu Bo'an himself knew that he had no mysterious abilities on his own.

If everyone in the bonsai world possesses some form of magic, those who are loyal and believe in him will be fine and won't cause any trouble. However, if some reckless individuals appear who want to oppose him, although he can fight them with his current strength, it won't do him any good in the end.

Relieved, Xu Bo'an joked with Chen Shishi, "Oh, I thought you had magic to make the plates multiply!"

Upon hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Chen Shishi laughed and said to him, "Grandpa Mountain God, please don't joke with me. Only you, the high and mighty Mountain God, possess such skills. How could ordinary people like us have such abilities!"

For ordinary families, keeping these disposable bowls and chopsticks might have some other uses, but for Xu Bo'an's current wealth and status, keeping these things is just creating garbage. However, Xu Bo'an understands Chen Shishi's actions quite well. Although Chen Shishi was the most beautiful courtesan in Juxiangfang before and didn't have to worry about food, clothing, or daily necessities, that was only compared to the suffering people in the bonsai world. In modern times, Chen Shishi's food, clothing, and daily necessities in Juxiangfang are still not as good as those living at the bottom of society now.

Chen Shishi, who lived in an extremely backward era, naturally thinks everything we have now is good. However, she finds these disposable bowls and chopsticks completely useless. If she isn't told, these useless things will accumulate more and more. Therefore, Xu Bo'an explained to Chen Shishi, "Chen Shishi, these bowls are disposable. After you finish eating, you can just throw them away as garbage. There's absolutely no need to wash them."

After hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Chen Shishi looked at him with a puzzled expression and said, "Grandpa Mountain God, these bowls are so bright and clear, just like glass cups. And look at how exquisite and regular the patterns on them are! If I were to draw these patterns, it would probably take me several hours. How can you just throw away such precious things?"

Xu Bo'an almost laughed when he heard Chen Shishi's words. It turned out that Chen Shishi had mistakenly regarded these disposable things in our real world as treasures.

Indeed, people living in the bonsai world know that all the patterns are drawn by hand, stroke by stroke. Chen Shishi can draw, and she knows that it takes a lot of effort to draw a beautiful picture, which is why she cherishes it so much. She doesn't know that these bowls and the beautiful patterns on them are made with modern high technology and are not as complicated as she thinks.

Xu Bo'an explained to Chen Shishi, "These bowls are plentiful in our immortal realm. They are disposable, meaning they can only be used once and then discarded. Otherwise, they will harbor a lot of bacteria, and using them again would be bad for your health. They cannot be used a second time! Just remember to throw these things away in the future; there's no need to wash them!"

Upon hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Chen Shishi's eyes suddenly lit up as if she understood the meaning behind his words. She said to him, "Oh, I understand, Grandpa Mountain God. You are an immortal, so you don't need to make things by hand like us mortals. You can conjure up many things like this, right?"

Xu Bo'an couldn't explain it to Chen Shishi either, and besides, she probably wouldn't understand even if he did. Since they regarded him as the Mountain God, her explanation was perfectly reasonable. (End of Chapter)
