Time Travel: Brothel Maid
Chapter 42 Red Fire Jade
Xiao Guoer swallowed the food in her mouth before speaking, "Opening a restaurant is not an easy task. Let alone a skilled cook, a waiter who runs errands and serves dishes, and a shopkeeper who manages the bills. I can't find any of these people. I don't even have the capital or the store. What's more, restaurants are the places where customers are most likely to cause trouble. I have no background and no connections. If something really happens, I won't be able to handle it."
Tang Jingchen raised his lips in a gentle arc, "I can lend you the capital, help you find a store, and I can also help you find a chef and other people."
Xiao Guoer smiled and shook her head. "I'm busy enough with just one lottery ticket. How can I have the energy to run a restaurant? Besides, you've invested all the manpower and material resources, so how can it be considered my store?"
Tang Jingchen advised, "Once you hire a waiter, you won't be so busy running the lottery shop, and the restaurant won't take up much of your energy. Human and material resources are easy to come by, but your wonderful ideas are not easy to come by. Your ideas are the most important, so naturally it's your store."
Xiao Guoer still shook her head, "That's because you have assets, so you think that human and material resources are easy to obtain, but for me, it is hard to come by."
Tang Jingchen wanted to persuade him again, it would be a pity to let such a good idea be buried.
Before she opened her mouth, she said, "Brother Tang, if you think recharging your membership card is a good idea, feel free to use it. It will be my way of thanking you for your help during this period of time."
Tang Jingchen was indeed very excited, but since this idea was thought up by someone else, how could he just use it? Now hearing her say this, he couldn't help but feel extremely happy, as the value of this idea was immeasurable.
"My idea is just a small contribution and is not worth mentioning. If you give me this method, I will thank you very much. Why don't you just consider it as you selling this method to me? You name a price and I will definitely give it to you with both hands and will never bargain."
Tang Jingchen had seen her bargaining with the bookstore owner, and thought that since she was in a hurry to make money, she would definitely not refuse. No matter how much she offered, he was willing to give it to her.
But Xiao Guoer still shook her head and said, "We are friends, how can we make such a deal? It's just an idea. You don't have to make a fuss. Just use it."
"But……"
"Don't say buts. Why are you being so fussy? If you keep talking, you have to settle the cost of my meal. Do you want me to pay you?" Xiao Guoer pretended to be annoyed.
Tang Jingchen hurriedly said, "I won't say anything more. You don't have to pay for meals in Jinxianglou in the future."
"That's pretty much it."
The two smiled at each other and started eating in silence.
The time of day when there are the fewest customers is the Wei time, and Xiao Guoer can only take a short rest at this time.
But today she wanted to go shopping, so she had to give up this rare rest.
"Which jade shop in Shangjing City is good?" Xiao Guo'er finished her meal and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, thinking that if she could buy it back earlier, she could have a rest for a while.
Tang Jingchen rinsed his mouth and asked, "You want to buy jade?"
"Ah."
I'll make you a fan pendant as a thank you for carving the seal.
Xiao Guoer thought so in her heart but didn't say it out loud.
"Just walk half a cup of tea from your home and you will see a Hengsheng Jade Shop."
Xiao Guoer said goodbye to Tang Jingchen and went out.
After walking for a while, I saw a plaque with the words Hengsheng Jade Shop on it.
When we walked in, we found that there were not many customers. The waiter came forward and greeted us, "Sir, what would you like to see? We have a full range of jade samples. We have whatever you want, including jadeite, Hetian jade, Nanyang jade, and jasper. Look here. If the finished products in the store don't have what you want, you can select the material and tell us what you want, and then we can ask the carving master to make it."
As the clerk was speaking, a young girl in gorgeous clothes walked into the store. She was slender and graceful, with the hairpins on her hair sparkling, and behind her followed a maid of similar age.
You can tell at first glance that she is a lady from a wealthy family.
The waiter's eyes lit up, and he said to Xiao Guo'er, "Sir, take your time to look at it. If you like anything, tell me."
After saying this, he left Xiao Guoer and went to greet the new guest. Compared with Xiao Guoer's coarse cloth clothes, this guest was dressed in gorgeous clothes. He must be very generous and was more likely to buy some expensive jade.
Xiao Guoer didn't care at all. She preferred to look around by herself. When she was shopping in Hyundai before, she didn't like the shopping guides following her closely.
It’s more comfortable to choose by yourself.
There are several rows of hollow shelves in Hengsheng Jade Shop, on which are placed both uncarved raw stones and finished carved products, which are dazzling and very beautiful.
Xiaoguo looked at the rows of them and couldn't help but sigh that the carvings were so amazing, not inferior to modern ones at all.
Suddenly, her eyes were attracted by a piece of clear, rosy red fire jade.
This color is so festive, it makes people feel warm just by looking at it.
Under the sunlight, the red jade shines brightly and is very beautiful.
Just as Xiao Guoer took the red jade in her hand and looked at it carefully, she heard a melodious and sweet girl's voice beside her.
"I want this piece of red fire jade in his hand."
Xiao Guoer frowned and looked to the side. It was the young girl who just came in.
The girl was staring at the red fire jade in her hand, and she didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with what she said.
Xiao Guoer guessed that she must have been brought up in pampered condition at home and was extremely favored, which was why she could act so arrogantly and domineeringly.
The jade was still in her hand. She was the first one to see it. It was a bit unreasonable for the girl to just say she wanted it without asking who came first.
The maid behind the girl was still flattering her, "Miss, you have a good eye. The color of this jade is so beautiful. If it is made into earrings and worn on your ears, it will make your skin look even whiter than snow."
Hey, do you think she is a transparent person?
"Excuse me, young lady. I was the first one to see this jade."
The girl turned her pretty face when she heard the voice, and her cold eyes turned to the person next to her. The bright appearance made Xiao Guoer suddenly feel familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.
“You didn’t pay.”
After the girl saw what Xiao Guoer was wearing, she added disdainfully, "Can you afford it?"
He shifted his gaze and looked at the waiter, "Why don't you wrap it up for me?"
What kind of person is this! She tried to reason with her in a gentle manner, but she attacked her personally. Xiao Guoer lost her temper and spoke in a cold tone, "How do you know I can't afford it?"
The two of them were on edge, and the waiter rubbed his hands in embarrassment. Although he also felt that the young man could not afford it, he didn't want to offend him.
Thinking that if the young man knew the price of the jade, he would definitely not argue, he said, "This jade costs one hundred and twenty taels of silver. Are you sure you want it, sir?"
Xiao Guoer took a deep breath. What? One hundred and twenty taels!
The girl looked at him and her eyes widened in shock when she heard the price. She sneered disdainfully, "Did you hear that? It's one hundred and twenty taels. Do you want to buy it?"
Sometimes people consume on impulse.
For example, now, Xiao Guoer looked at the contemptuous looks cast upon her by the girl, the maid behind her, and the servant, and her brain got hot and she said something that made her feel very painful.
"I want!"
The two powerful words made the girl's face turn ugly in an instant, and the maid behind her even spoke bad words.
"You! Why are you pretending to be so great? If you have no money, then you have no money. Why are you pretending to be rich? Is there any point in pretending to be rich? You are dressed so poorly. Can you come up with 120 taels?"
When the young lady heard her maid say this, a hint of sarcasm appeared on her face.
"Humph, someone is overestimating his own abilities and insisting on making a fool of himself here, wasting other people's time. Chun Xing, go report to the police now and tell them that someone is cheating and causing trouble here, and have him arrested!"
Hey, this little girl looks like a decent person, but how come she has such a sharp and mean mouth?
You want to call the police to arrest me? What did I do? Is the government owned by your family? You want to arrest me?
No justice? No law?
I have such a bad temper! If you two weren't women, I would have slapped you a long time ago.
Xiao Guoer rolled her eyes, a sinister smile appeared at the corner of her lips, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she spoke slowly.
"What does it have to do with you whether I have money or not? Oh, could it be that this lady has taken a fancy to me, so she is using this jade to entangle with me?"
As she spoke, Xiao Guoer deliberately showed an expression of sudden realization, shock and disbelief, looked up and down at the beautiful young lady whose face suddenly turned dark, and continued.
"You want to test me? And you want to arrest me? What do you want to do with me? Although I am not a big shot, I don't like willful, sarcastic and mean young ladies. Miss, I advise you to give up. A forced melon is not sweet."
Hehe, although I can't hit you, I can make you mad to death.
Xiao Guoer successfully saw the beautiful lady's face change several times, sometimes black, sometimes white, sometimes blue, sometimes red, her chest heaving violently, her body trembling slightly, it was obvious that she was very angry.
The guy standing aside looked at this and that, and his eyes became very strange.
The beautiful lady stretched out her finger tremblingly, pointed at Xiao Guo'er and said angrily, "Chun Xing, tear his mouth apart for me!"
"Ah?" Chun Xing looked embarrassed. She was just a little maid, how could she dare to fight with a man? Even though the man was a little thin, he was still a man after all. Men and women should not have physical contact. At most, she could only curse at him, but she really couldn't do it.
The beautiful lady was obviously very angry with Xiao Guo'er and lost her mind. Seeing that the maid didn't move, she immediately slapped the maid Chun Xing on the face, "Waste!"
The little maid's face instantly became red and swollen, with five finger marks on it, and she burst into tears out of grievance.
Xiao Guoer was stunned by what she saw. Oh my god, this guy even beats his own people when he gets crazy!
After beating the maid, the beautiful lady even wanted to beat Xiao Guoer herself, "I'm going to kill you!"
After saying that, he raised his hand and slapped Xiao Guoer.
How could a weak girl like her be a match for Xiao Guoer who knows some Kung Fu?
Xiao Guo'er dodged it lightly and retreated, still shouting, "A gentleman should use his mouth, not his fists!"
The waiter also spoke up to stop him, "Sir, calm down."
The beautiful young lady was so angry that her eyes turned red. How could she listen to what Xiao Guoer and the shop assistants said? There was only one thought in her mind: I want to kill this shameless villain!
The beautiful lady was not willing to accept the slap that missed her, so she raised her slender hand and chased after Xiao Guoer to hit her.
In the Hengsheng Jade Shop, hollow shelves filled with exquisite jades were neatly and closely arranged in rows in the lobby, and only two people could barely stand side by side between two cabinets.
There was no way these two could play and chase each other in such a small space.
As expected, the beautiful lady tripped over something and lost her balance, falling towards the shelf beside her. She leaned against the shelf to steady herself.
The guy suddenly cried out, "Oh my God!"
The hollow shelf filled with exquisite jade was impacted and swayed and fell backwards.
In a space at the top of the shelf, there was a piece of raw stone as big as a head. Due to its large mass and inertia, it did not fall backwards with the shelf, but swayed for a while and then fell from the front.
Xiao Guoer's heart rose to her throat as she watched the emerald green stone about to hit the beautiful young lady on the head.
If you get hit by this thing, your head will be broken and bleeding.
In a flash, without time to think, Xiao Guoer took a step, turned around, hugged the beautiful lady in his arms, and stepped aside.
But the environment was cramped and Xiao Guoer's feet were tripped by something, and they both fell to the ground.
"Bang", "Snap", "Boom".
There were a series of noises in the Hengsheng Jade Shop, including the sound of shelves being knocked over and the sound of jade falling to the ground.
Then the room fell into an eerie silence again, and you could hear a pin drop.
The guy stared at the jade shelves falling to the ground in rows, stunned and stupid.
There were six rows of jade racks in total, and three of them collapsed. The jades fell to the ground, most of them were broken into pieces, and the scene was a mess.
This...this...this...what should I do?
The quiet atmosphere was broken by the beautiful girl's stern shout, "You are shameless!"
The beautiful girl had already stood up from the ground, while Xiao Guoer was still lying on the ground, grimacing and trying to ease the pain in his body.
When the two of them fell to the ground just now, she was the one who cushioned them. The beautiful girl fell into her arms and was not hurt at all.
Xiao Guoer stood up and rubbed her elbow, which had just hit the ground and was in excruciating pain. She said speechlessly, "I am shameless? If it weren't for me, your brain would have been smashed by this stone by now, and you still have the mouth to scold me? It's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin!"
The beautiful young lady's cheeks flushed, and when she saw that there was indeed a large green stone on the ground where she had just stood, her arrogance diminished by three points.
His voice lowered, "Then...you can't hug me either."
Seeing her cheeks, ears, and even her neck were all red, Xiao Guoer said helplessly, "It's just a temporary measure, Miss, don't take it to heart."
The beautiful lady seemed to be hurt, and tears instantly gathered in her eyes.
Seeing this, Xiao Guoer panicked and said hurriedly, "Hey, don't cry, I really didn't mean it. I won't fight with you for this red fire jade. I'll give it to you, okay?"
The red fire jade was kept in Xiao Guoer's hand the whole time, so it survived the disaster.
The beautiful lady stamped her feet, feeling sad and ashamed, at a loss. She had never been hugged by a man in her life! And by such a vulgar man!
She felt sorry for Brother Yun, woooo.
