Chapter 43: Better than nothing
Ji Ling's piano sound was very penetrating, and Qu Nian downstairs could hear it clearly.
Chu San dared to approach Qu Nian and said with a smile: "Master, it seems that Li Qingsi is not the overlord to make a bow, and he is listening to the music with peace of mind!"
Qu Nian sighed: "I don't know if it was a mistake for me to leave Ji Ling in this place where dragons and snakes are mixed?"
Chu San dared to lower his voice and said with a smile: "Master is reluctant, but Ji Lingchang is so beautiful, anyone who sees it can't help but feel pity! But Master, don't forget, she is a chicken, and it is impossible to have results with you, even if you just want to simply go to bed, then your heart will also respond! So you see that I haven't molested her for a while, I'm afraid that I will be doing it hard in bed, bang, and become a chicken in my arms, so think about it, who can stand it?"
Qu Nian glanced at him and said, "You shut up for me!"
Chu San dared to smile.
Since it was now afternoon, except for a group of people who came at the beginning, there were a little fewer people who came later, and after nearly two hours, there were more than 100 girls who did not receive guests, and Qu Nian was a little worried.
But at this moment, Fan Ye fell.
Fan Yeluo ran back home early in the morning to get the silver ticket, in fact, he had enough time to catch up with Li Qingsi, but he was not in a hurry, he could also feel that although there were many rich people in Linzi, there were definitely not many rich people like him who were stupid, after all, spending two thousand taels of silver was just listening to a small song, and ordinary people were reluctant to spend this money, and with so much money, they could buy a batch of girls to go back.
So he didn't want to be too anxious, otherwise he would let Qu Nian know, and he thought that Ji Ling was a hot item, and someone couldn't wait to order her as soon as it opened, maybe he would sit on the ground and raise the price, after all, the prince of Qin Guo is not a good thing, and everyone in Linzi knows about it. But if he comes a little later and creates the illusion of unsalable, he can also bargain at that time, at least three or five hundred taels, and if he is ruthless, it is not impossible to cut down one thousand taels, after all, the false price is too high.
But when he entered the door, he saw Qu Nian and Chu San daring to sit at the counter in person to collect money, his face was a little embarrassed, after all, these two people were his enemies, and he couldn't wait to kill them quickly, but he didn't expect that he was useless, not only did he not seek revenge on them, but instead sent money to them to earn, even if he paid more, this Qu Nian was also profitable, after all, he was doing a business without capital.
Because there were few guests now, Chu San dared to see him at a glance and said with a smile: "Yo, isn't this Fan Gongzi! What are you doing here?"
As soon as Fan Yeluo heard this, he was even more angry, and he really wanted to say with a backbone: "Lao Tzu is here to make trouble!" Helplessly, Ji Ling's attraction was too great, and he firmly grasped his heart, just like a dog smelling the bones upstairs, where did he have the heart to answer the cat's provocation?
After thinking about this, his heart was let go, and then he walked to the counter, smiled, and said, "I heard that the prince of Qin Guo opened, and I came here to cheer on it!"
Qu Nian smiled: "Thank you, thank you!" stretched out his hand again, and said, "Whatever the girl picks!"
Fan Yeluo shook his head and said, "I don't like these vulgar fans, and they don't deserve me!"
Chu San dared to stand up suddenly, pointed at him and said, "You're the here to make trouble? You don't pee like you're dead, and you take care of yourself?"
Although Fan Yeluo swallowed his anger, he also had a temper, and when he heard this, he was just about to pat the counter, but Qu Nian stood up and said with a smile: "Fan Gongzi is angry, my apprentice is not sensible, don't be surprised!"
Chu San dared to roll his eyes, pursed his mouth, and stopped squeaking.
Fan Yeluo got down the stairs, felt very satisfied, and said, "It's pretty much the same!"
Qu Nian looked at Fan Yeluo again and said: "Since these vulgar fans Fan Gongzi can't look down on them, then I can't help it, Fan Gongzi should go to other stores to find a girl worthy of you!"
Fan Yeluo said: "But there is one person in your store who can be worthy of me!"
Qu Nian smiled: "Oh, which one?"
Fan Yeluo pointed to the ceiling and said, "It's the girl upstairs!"
Qu Nian said: "We have more girls upstairs!"
Fan Yeluo said: "It's the girl who stood on the balcony in the morning and didn't go downstairs!"
Qu Nian said: "Miss Ji Ling?"
Fan Yeluo said: "I don't know what her name is! Anyway, it's that one, I heard that it's the Oiran of your shop!"
Qu Nian said: "Since you know that it is an oiran, you should also know that the price of an oiran is very high, two thousand taels, and you can't even touch your hands if you don't sell your body!"
Fan Yeluo snorted in his nostrils and said, "You also know that you are expensive, I thought you didn't know that your heart was black, in the entire Linzi City, your heart was the blackest!"
Qu Nian smiled: "I know my heart is black! I can't make money if I'm not black!"
Fan Yeluo pointed to the girl who greeted the guests on the side, and then looked at Qu Nian and said: "I don't see any business in your family, it's because it's too dark, so many people are discouraged, I am sincerely here to support your field and open a show for you, so let's do it, your Oiran is cheaper, just one thousand taels, don't be so black-hearted, one thousand taels is not something that ordinary people can afford, it's better than nothing!"
Qu Nian smiled: "I'm really sorry, don't say that you still have a thousand taels, you will open three thousand taels today, and you won't be able to see our Oiran!"
Fan Yeluo's face changed, and he said, "You look down on me?"
Qu Nian said: "That's not it, everyone who comes is a guest, how can I look down on the guest? The reason is that Miss Ji Ling is already picking up guests!"
Fan Yeluo was shocked: "Which one doesn't have long eyes?
Qu Nian said: "It's Li Qingsi, the son of General Zhenyuan!"
Fan Yeluo was taken aback again, and said, "Li Qingsi, when did this thing return to Linzi?"
Qu Nian said: "Then you have to go upstairs and ask about that thing!"
Fan Yeluo licked his lips and waved his hand: "Then forget it!"
Qu Nian said: "You seem to be afraid of him?"
Fan Yeluo hurriedly said: "Why am I afraid of him? I don't interfere with the river water with his well water!"
Qu Nian said with a smile: "Then I will wronged Fan Gongzi for a trip in vain today!"
Fan Yeluo said: "Then will that Ji Ling girl be condemned tomorrow?"
Qu Nian said: "That's not true!"
Fan Yeluo took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, then took out a hundred taels, slapped them on the counter, and said, "Then I'll pay a deposit of one hundred taels first, and I'll cover that Ji Ling girl tomorrow!"
Qu Nian picked up the silver ticket and looked at it, and said with a smile: "That's okay! When are you coming tomorrow?"
Fan Yeluo saw that Oiran was so nervous, and he didn't dare to bargain anymore, and said, "When will your house open, I will come when it opens, I spent so much money, don't play for a while, I don't lose a lot?"
Qu Nian nodded and said, "That's right! We don't open in the morning, we open at noon!"
Fan Yeluo said: "Then I'll come at noon!"
Qu Nian put in the silver ticket and said, "Okay! Then Fan Gongzi walks slowly!"
Fan Yeluo said: "What are you going slowly?
Qu Nian was stunned, and it happened that Wang Xide was also standing at the other end of the counter, so he beckoned his hand and said, "Lao Wang, open a receipt for Fan Gongzi!"
Wang Xide answered, went around to the counter, took out pen and ink, wrote a receipt, and handed it to Fan Yeluo.
Fan Yeluo took the receipt, and when he saw that the ink on it had not dried, he blew it with his mouth, and then carefully folded the receipt, and picked it up in his arms with the silver ticket, before leaving with his subordinates.
I thought that at the price of Ji Ling girl, I might not be able to receive a single guest in a year, but I never thought that this Ji Ling girl would be the most sought-after, and other girls have no business, so she has to queue up!"
Qu Nian took a deep breath and said, "This is not a good thing! I'm afraid I won't be able to cover Miss Ji Ling!"
Bai Xiaoya said: "That's right, I feel that this Fan Yeluo must not be well-intentioned, he will definitely make trouble tomorrow, it is impossible to be beaten by us for no reason, and he kindly sent us money to earn, this money is not easy to earn!"
Chu San dared to say: "He dares, if he dares to make trouble, I will kill him!"
Qu Nian glanced at him and said: "You are a proton, proton must have the consciousness of proton, this is the territory of Qi State, no matter how powerful you are, you can only bully and bully the proton of Shuohua Street, Qi Country is a master like a cloud, how many can you fight? Even if you don't dare to kill you, it's always okay to cripple you, right?"
Chu San dared to hurriedly say: "Then do you just watch him make trouble and let others bully?"
Qu Nian took a deep breath and said, "That's definitely not good, I don't want to be bullied when I open a store!"
Chu San dared to say: "You can't fight again, then you can only be bullied!"
Qu Nian said: "Don't always think about fighting, that's a reckless man, I want to find a backer!"
Chu San dared to be stunned: "Who wants to be our backer?"
Qu Nian smiled and said, "There is always someone who is willing!"
Since there were no guests for a long time, the spirit of the welcoming girls was a little sluggish, like wilted flowers, and they no longer had the spirit when they set out in the morning.
Wang Xide leaned into Qu Nian's ear at this time and whispered: "Childe, isn't this price a little too expensive, although Miss Ji Ling has a business, but other girls are a little too lonely in comparison, right?"
Qu Nian actually didn't have a bottom in his heart, so he looked outside the house, the sun was already setting in the west, and said: "Let the girls cheer up and prepare for dinner, there will definitely be business after eating!"
Wang Xide answered, and went down to prepare dinner.
Because most of the girls did not receive guests, they also lamented and sighed when they ate, and many girls couldn't eat at all.
Yi Hong didn't eat, ran out at this time, stood by the counter, looked at Qu Nian and smiled, and said: "Qin Gongzi, the sisters have all said, is our price set too high? The sisters have all said, in fact, it is almost the same as setting a twenty taels, small profits but quick turnover! We can earn ten taels of silver a day, and we are already satisfied!"
Qu Nian said: "You are satisfied, what about me? I have invested millions of taels of silver, ten or twenty taels to pick back, when can I pick back the original?"
Yi Hong smiled and said, "It's better than nothing!"
