Chapter 262: Uncle Li
It seems that even the charming Tang Xiaolu, who is wearing a cheongsam, can't shake the uncle's will. In fact, at that time, the light was indeed dim, and it looked like the gem did look like a ruby. But the uncle just didn't agree, and the two of them had no choice.
However, the uncle was still very polite to Tang Xiaolu, and he took out his mutilated photo to show Tang Xiaolu.
"I'm going to take a ruby like this in the picture, nothing else. The uncle said categorically.
Tang Xiaolu took the mutilated photo and looked at it carefully, and said to Luo Sixiu in a low voice: "I have seen such a ruby, the kind that Sister Ru wears." ”
At this time, Luo Sixiu also remembered. No wonder I looked familiar at the time. However, for this kind of small, shining thing, women will still be more sensitive.
After returning the photo to the uncle, Luo Sixiu took Tang Xiaolu to visit the house again, and Tang Xiaolu liked it very much. Before leaving, Tang Xiaolu asked for the uncle's title very obediently.
"My surname is Li, just call me Uncle Li. Don't call me uncle, as if I'm old. Uncle Li said angrily. It seems that although his hair and beard are gray, Uncle Li's body is still very good.
"In that case, Uncle Li, let's go back and look for it, don't rent this house to others." Tang Xiaolu said to Uncle Li in a squeamish voice.
"Whoever finds the ruby I want first, I'll rent it out. "Uncle Li is still very impulsive when he speaks.
"That'...... Uncle Li, do you want to eat with us at night? We know that there is a casserole porridge nearby, and it tastes very good. Tang Xiaolu said again.
"I don't like to drink porridge, my teeth are very good. I've cooked my own dinner. Uncle Li rejected Tang Xiaolu again.
After coming back, Tang Xiaolu said to Luo Sixiu again: "You go and ask Sister Ru where she bought her rubies from." You can just buy one. ”
Luo Sixiu said: "I don't really want to disturb her about such a small matter. Besides, I feel like she values the ruby, too. Maybe I didn't buy it. I've been looking at other jewelry stores recently and haven't found anything like that. I'll go a little farther away and look for it again. ”
"Alas, if you don't want to ask, I'll ask Sister Ru. She's a nice person and won't say anything. Tang Xiaolu said.
"When I get to the disease-free world, I'll look for it over there. Luo Sixiu said.
After a few days, in Yangcheng, Luo Sixiu went to many places, and he went to the jewelry store but did not find the kind of ruby that Uncle Li wanted. Of course, Luo Sixiu also took a look at other houses to see if there was a more suitable place, but unfortunately, it was not as suitable as Uncle Li's.
The next day, Tang Xiaolu said to Luo Sixiu again: "I asked Sister Ru, and she said that she must not find rubies like her in jewelry stores in Yangcheng." Others, she didn't say much. Then I guess it was in the world you shuttled through. ”
Luo Sixiu said: "I was also looking over there, but I still haven't found it. ”
In the disease-free world, at this time, he is pretending to be a rich man in the city. There are only sapphires in the supermarket in the city, and there are only pastel gems in Bang City before, and there are only diamonds and no gems in Baa City.
As for the other cities in the disease-free world, there will definitely be gemstones of different colors. But this kind of thing, people in the disease-free world don't care, it's too cheap, no one will pay attention, so there is no place to inquire.
Luo Sixiu was at a loss, so he had to discuss with Pang Fengchu.
Pang Fengchu said: "Listening to your description, I guess this Uncle Li should not be short of money." He must have had some purpose in asking for rubies. If we can figure out why he wants rubies, maybe there will be other solutions. ”
Luo Sixiu thought for a while and said, "What you said also makes sense. I also think that an old man of Uncle Li's age is unlikely to like any shiny rubies. He must have had other purposes. Why don't you and I visit again? ”
So, Pang Fengchu and Luo Sixiu went to the commercial street of Fat Dog Ridge to find Uncle Li. This time, Luo Sixiu didn't come empty-handed, and brought a lot of gifts such as cigarettes, alcohol, tea, etc., and he didn't know what Uncle Li liked.
This time, there was no Tang Xiaolu wearing a cheongsam and a graceful figure, only Pang Fengchu and Luo Sixiu, two men, Uncle Li saw them coming, and he just leaned on the recliner, nodded slightly, and did not sit up.
Luo Sixiu didn't see the outside, sat directly on the small stool next to Uncle Li, and said to him, "Uncle Li, this is my friend, Xiaopang. The two of us came to see you together, and bought some cigarettes and alcohol at random, I don't know if it suits your taste. "Actually, the things that Roth Xiu brought over are all relatively expensive, not those that are cheap.
Uncle Li nodded slightly and said, "My eyes are not very good, I only saw you two when I walked up." Let you bother. Still, has the ruby been found?"
Luo Sixiu thought to himself, your eyes are not good, but the last time I looked at the pastel gemstones, I could tell them very clearly.
Luo Sixiu said: "To tell you the truth, I also have a jewelry store at home, have I looked for it carefully?" I asked some of my other peers and they all said there was no ruby like you. ”
"You opened a jewelry store?" Uncle Li suddenly sat up and asked Luo Sixiu.
"yes, it's just a small shop. Luo Sixiu nodded.
Uncle Li looked at Luo Sixiu carefully again and asked, "Xiao Luo, how old are you?"
Luo Sixiu said, "I'm twenty-four. ”
Uncle Li nodded and sighed, "Time flies so fast. ”
Pang Fengchu also took the opportunity to say: "Uncle Li, we sincerely want to borrow your house to open a small restaurant. However, it is true that the ruby you are asking for will not be easy to find in the short term. See if you can let us start doing it first, or you can bet a sum of money. While we are making our own restaurant, we are always looking for the ruby you want. Be sure to help you find it when the time comes. ”
"I'm not short of money. Besides, you can't find it now, and now that you open a restaurant and do your business, where will you have time to help me find rubies?" Uncle Li said unceremoniously.
"I'm sure I'll find it later. But it does take a little time. Luo Sixiu said.
"You...... There is definitely no jewelry store in Yangcheng City, and I know it. Uncle Li looked at Luo Sixiu and asked suspiciously.
Luo Sixiu nodded and said, "Uncle Li, don't worry, I can look for it in other places." ”
Uncle Li looked at the two of them and didn't speak.
Pang Fengchu said again: "Uncle Li, I don't know if it's inconvenient for you to reveal it, why are you looking for such a ruby? Perhaps, we can also help you in other places." ”
"I'm looking for someone. Uncle Li said.
"What kind of person is you?" What is his name and what does he do, and why are you looking for him?" asked Luo Sixiu again.
"When I find him, I'm going to break his leg!" Uncle Li said to himself.
