Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Well, my aesthetic taste is right. The bright and passionate Chinese red complements the Chinese knot perfectly!

Especially when paired with this crystal clear, warm and delicate red fire jade, it exudes a festive and peaceful atmosphere.

Xiao Guoer happily put away the Chinese knot, held the red fire jade carefully, and looked at it over and over again.

She planned to carve a unique piece of jade herself.

As for what shape it should be carved into, Xiao Guoer already had a decision in her mind, but she still needed to think carefully about where to start.

After all, this piece of red fire jade is very valuable, as much as one hundred and twenty taels of silver. It would be a pity if it was damaged!

Fortunately, the design she envisioned was relatively simple, and perhaps she could pull it off with her somewhat rusty skills.

But even so, Xiao Guoer still did not dare to take it lightly, but concentrated on it, putting all her attention on the carving of this piece of red fire jade.

Compared with the previous time when he only wanted to complete the task quickly and had no time to consider the quality when making number stamps, this time Xiao Guoer can be said to have put in all his effort and put in a lot of effort.

She secretly vowed to make this piece of red fire jade show its most perfect appearance.

Looking back, she could easily make a set of exquisite and practical number seals in just a few hours; but now, it took her a whole hour just to polish away the slight flaws on the corners of the red fire jade!

Judging from this progress, it would probably take at least several days or even longer for her to complete this jade carving as she wishes.

Fortunately, she is not like Yueya who can't stay up late. In the past, in modern times, going to bed at 11 or 12 o'clock was considered early. It's nothing like this era, where there are no mobile phones or entertainment activities. Once night falls, the only thing people can do is curl up in bed.

Despite the time travel, she still couldn't adjust her daily routine. Perhaps it was because she could only think about the story and how to make money at night when everything was quiet during her stay at Zuihualou.

Now, her lottery business is generally on track and she no longer has to be so busy at night.

So, every night she would take one to two hours to carefully carve this piece of red fire jade.

According to this progress, the entire carving work can be completed in about ten days to half a month.

Tang Jingchen works decisively and efficiently.

The guy he found for Xiao Guoer arrived at the store the next morning.

This man's name is Tang Xi. He is twenty years old, smart, diligent and studious.

After Xiao Guoer explained to him in detail the specific operating procedures of lottery and raffle, Tang Xi understood it immediately and quickly grasped the key points.

Xiao Guoer was very satisfied, but she didn't teach him the Arabic numeral counting method. She wrote this method on the back of the lottery ticket. In addition to facilitating the query of the lottery ticket, it is also an important means of anti-counterfeiting.

She didn't know Tang Xi's character yet. If he had any bad intentions, her lottery business would be ruined if its reputation was ruined.

It’s not that she didn’t trust the person Tang Jingchen found for her, but people’s hearts are different. The first prize is one hundred taels of silver, and it’s hard not to be tempted by such a large sum of money.

When the business grows bigger in the future, she will increase the bonus. Human nature is complex, and when faced with huge wealth, human nature is often fragile and vulnerable.

"Tang Xi, your monthly base salary is two taels of silver. If the store does a good job and makes a lot of profit this month, I will give you an extra bonus."

Only with money can there be motivation. Xiao Guoer is well aware of the power of money. She knows that only by closely linking salary with performance can employees work wholeheartedly and fulfill their duties.

Tang Xi never expected that the shop owner was so young. He looked probably two or three years younger than himself. However, such a thin boy was able to run the shop on his own and was doing very well. It was truly admirable.

Therefore, he did not feel the slightest contempt in his heart.

In addition, a monthly salary of two taels of silver is definitely considered a high salary in Shangjing City. Looking around, which shop assistant can get such a generous treatment? This job is easy and not tiring. It is as rare as pie in the sky. It is even better than when he was a waiter in Tang's shop before.

The young boss just now also promised that if the business is prosperous, there will be additional bonuses as a reward, which is really valuable.

After all, usually, which boss would be kind to his employees from the beginning? We should be thankful that he doesn't find all kinds of excuses to deduct wages.

The Tang family is already considered a benevolent and righteous family, but I didn't expect that this young master is no less kind and considerate than them, which made me feel happy at the moment.

He said respectfully, "Don't worry, boss. I will never be lazy. Our lottery business will surely become more and more prosperous."

"That's good. I don't have to stay here all the time. I can also free up my time to look for a suitable store."

Xiao Guoer thanked Tang Jingchen, "Thanks to you, you helped me a lot."

Then he shook his head and said, "No, you have helped me a lot. I owe you more and more favors, and I don't know how to repay you."

Tang Jingchen looked at her smiling and said, "You just said yesterday that we are friends, there is no need to calculate so clearly."

Xiao Guoer blinked and said, "Anyway, you've helped me more times than I've helped you, so I'm glad you don't feel at a disadvantage."

Tang Jingchen was amused. "Your method of recharging membership cards is a priceless treasure. If we talk about it, who is the one who suffers the loss?"

"You are so honest, but I don't know how such an honest person like you can do business, and you are the young master of the Jinxianglou that is spread all over the capital. Be careful not to be sold out and count money for others."

Tang Jingchen raised his eyebrows slightly. It was the first time he heard someone say that he was honest. It was quite fresh.

Tang Xi listened and shook his head secretly. This young shopkeeper might not know the ability of the young master of the Tang family. Many people outside said that the head of the Tang family was an old fox, and he had a son who was also a little fox, and there was a tendency for him to surpass his father.

Honest? Can being honest be considered honest? Then is he called brainless?

"Since you trust me, why are you in such a hurry to find a shop? Isn't my Jinxianglou good?"

If anything happened to her, he could take care of her.

Xiao Guoer looked like you don't understand, "No matter how good your Jinxiang Building is, I can't stay here. Jinxiang Building is your territory, and I'm just living under someone else's roof. It's not a long-term solution."

"Other people's homes are always other people's homes. No matter how good they are, they are not as comfortable as your own home. It is better to find a store and move out as soon as possible. You don't have to persuade me. I know your good intentions, but I really want to have my own store, otherwise I will feel uneasy."

No, you don't understand. I have other thoughts. If you stay in Jinxiang Tower, we can see each other every day. If you find another shop, what excuse should I find to see you every day?

A trace of loneliness flashed across Tang Jingchen's eyes, but he also knew that Xiao Guoer was right, her business would eventually grow bigger and bigger, and Jinxianglou could not accommodate her.

"Land is very expensive in Yongxing Street, and the shops here are very popular. If you want to find a store here, it may be difficult."

Xiao Guoer was a little frustrated and sighed. She had known this fact for a long time, but she just wanted to open a shop, as if it was a very important ritual.

"I just need a small shop that can accommodate a table, two chairs and two people. Oh, why is it so difficult!"

Tang Jingchen saw that she was pouting slightly and unconsciously revealed the demeanor of a little girl. His heart softened and his tone unconsciously carried a doting tone that he didn't even notice.

"Don't worry, I'll help you think of a solution."
