Chapter 203: Beautiful Red Coral Jewelry 2
"Boss, wait, I want this set of jewelry for 10,000 taels." Seeing that the owner of the jewelry store was about to leave with the jewelry box, Wu Yue suddenly said loudly. That set of jewelry Mu Yunqiao likes, Ye Ling naturally likes it too, he only has this ten thousand taels of silver left now to keep for future use, if this boss is willing to sell it for ten thousand taels, he will directly pay for it to Ye Ling.
"Ten thousand taels?" Turning around, the jewelry store owner looked at Wu Yue hesitantly. Ten thousand taels he was indeed a little moved, but he still wanted to wait, but thinking of Ming Tao's words just now, the owner of the jewelry store put down his things, looked at Wu Yue and said, "This son, this set of jewelry is really rare, can you add a little more?"
"I can't." Wu Yue shook her head directly and said. Although he didn't have to buy cotton clothes, cotton pants and other winter things for his soldiers. But his money is not easy to come by, as a man, he still has to support his family. The emperor promised him a lot of money, one thousand two years, ten thousand yuan will take ten years to save enough, but the boss here is not satisfied, he can only give up. It's not that he doesn't want to buy it, it's that he doesn't have that much silver.
"Not for sale!" After hesitating, the owner of the jewelry store shook his head and said.
"That's a shame." This time, until the owner of the jewelry store walked into the back room, no one spoke again, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and hated his greed in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that he wanted a little more silver, how could this set of jewelry not be sold?
Seeing Mu Yunqiao and the others leave the jewelry store, the jewelry store owner regretted it in his heart, but now even if he wants to regret it, it will be too late.
Night Spirit walked to Wu Yue's side, reached out and gently held Wu Yue's hand, and whispered in Wu Yue's ear: "Senior brother, thank you, you just don't have that set of jewelry for me, it's better to leave it to others." After speaking, the night spirit glanced at Ming Tao meaningfully. Don't look at Ming Tao leaving with them now, she can guarantee that it won't be long before this set of jewelry will definitely become her eldest sister's thing.
"Don't worry, I will find a set of jewelry that suits you more in the future and buy it for you." After understanding what the night spirit meant, Wu Yue said in the ear of the night spirit with a smile. Having a smart wife is the happiest thing.
Ming Tao and Mu Yunqiao and others kept shopping in the shops in the capital, but Mu Yunqiao was very excited, no way, shopping has been a woman's favorite since ancient times, and Mu Yunqiao was locked up at home for three years, after running away from home, because she didn't have much money on her, she hadn't gone shopping at all, and finally had the opportunity to watch everywhere, how could she not be excited. Until noon, when everyone had a lot of things in their hands, she was still unsatisfied. But touching her hungry belly, she walked into a restaurant with everyone for lunch. She hadn't even eaten breakfast this morning, and she was already hungry after a long morning's walk.
"I heard that this Tai'an Building is the most famous restaurant in Beijing, which is not only delicious, but also beautiful. It can really be described as color, fragrance and taste. Today is a rare opportunity, so let's have a bite to eat here. Wu Yue said to everyone around her. Although he has lived in the capital for a few months, Tai'an Building is a little far away from the place where he often goes out, and he rarely comes here in normal times, but it is rare to come here today, so he naturally wants to taste the delicacies here.
"Tai'an Building? I've heard about it too. We ate right here. Looking at the signboard of Tai'an Building, Chang Sheng said with a smile.
"Even those of you who are not in the capital all year round know here, it seems that this place is really good." Looking at the signboard above his head, Mu Yunqiao smiled and said that Shuai walked towards Tai'an Building first. She has also heard of the name of Tai'an Building, but she has been locked up at home in recent years, and she has no time to go out at all, so naturally she has not eaten here, and it is an accident to be able to come here today. Just taste the food, even if she is not a foodie, but she will not refuse food.
Ming Tao followed Mu Yunqiao into Tai'an Building, with a happy smile on his face.
"A few guests upstairs, please, there is a private room above." Seeing Mu Yunqiao and his party walking into the restaurant, the shopkeeper hurriedly walked in front of a few people, and said respectfully to Mu Yunqiao and the others.
"Lead the way!" Nodding, Ming Tao said. It's better to have a private room, and they don't want to come into contact with people outside, not because they look down on those ordinary people, but because they are all handsome men and beautiful women, and they will definitely be disturbed when they eat out.
"A few guest officers upstairs, please, the upstairs is not only clean, but also will not be noticed. The main thing is the view from upstairs. At the staircase of the walkway, the shopkeeper said as he walked upstairs.
"Hmm!" Looking at the decoration in the restaurant, exquisite but not luxurious, Ming Tao nodded indifferently. He didn't plan to come here now, although this is also the property of "Proud Dragon Villa", but this place is not like other businesses, and it is just a shop opened by a foreigner with a background to outsiders.
Of course, this place will not be so simple, because this is the most hidden contact point of "Aolong Villa". Others are at the border, and a lot of news has passed here.
"You guys go in first, I'll go out." Just walked to the door of Qingzhuxuan, Ming Tao said to everyone.
"You ......" Mu Yunqiao looked up at Ming Tao, she didn't believe that Ming Tao would leave for no reason, but thinking that there might be a shop in Aolong Villa nearby, she didn't object.
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon." Ming Tao nodded at Mu Yunqiao and walked downstairs. Business was suddenly good, just as he had expected it to be.
Ming Tao came to the back kitchen and found the chef who kept stir-frying there, Jia Ning.
In fact, it is very good for some people to know that Jia Ning is not actually surnamed Jia, but surnamed Fang, and his real name is Fang Jiaming. He is not a foreigner, but the nephew of Concubine Lan. Fang Jiaming is not interested in books and martial arts, and his favorite thing is cooking, which makes his family disagree, but seeing that he is only interested in cooking, he gradually no longer cares about him, Fang Jiaming is naturally happy for such a result, and later cooperated with him and opened this restaurant.
To be honest, he didn't want to agree to come to this restaurant at the beginning, not because he didn't believe in Fang Jiaming's craftsmanship, but because he didn't believe that his family would agree to him always being a cook. Later, the reason why he agreed was because he couldn't stand it because he was grinding by Fang Jiaming, and second, Mu Yunfeng nodded first. Although this is also part of their "Aolong Villa" industry, in order not to let outsiders know that Fang Jiaming is related to "Aolong Villa", only Mu Yunfeng and Fang Jiaming know here.
"Jia Ning, stop, I have something to say to you." Ming Tao patted Jia Ning on the shoulder and said.
The kitchen was indeed the hottest place, but for a while, he felt like he was going to sweat, knowing that it was late autumn.
"Wait a minute, this dish will come out of the pot." Fang Jiaming didn't look back, and said directly to Ming Tao.
"I'm waiting for you outside, it's too hot here." Ming Tao glanced at Fang Jiaming, who was busy with his hands, and left the kitchen directly. He knew it was so hot inside, he should have found someone to talk to him.
"Right away." Fang Jiaming skillfully received the dishes in the pot on the plate, picked up the clean cloth towel on the side to wipe off the sweat, and walked out.
Fang Jiaming is not very tall, but he is very fat, and the fat on his body is trembling when he walks. An originally delicate face is almost invisible because it is too fat.
"You kid have time to come out so soon? I thought you would have time to walk around at least at night. Walking out of the door, Fang Jiaming saw Ming Tao waiting there at a glance, and said with a smile.
Just now in the kitchen, because the air is too hot, he is only wearing a single coat and is sweating, and now when he walks out of the kitchen, he realizes that his clothes are still in the kitchen. He didn't go back to the kitchen to get his clothes, though. Although his kung fu is not very good, but if it is just such a little cold, he still doesn't care.
"It's an accident to be here today, I just want you to do me a favor." Looking at Fang Jiaming, who was only wearing a single coat, Ming Tao said directly. This guy still doesn't care about his body so much, he should really find him a daughter-in-law to take care of him.
"What's the rush? Directly, I'll go back to the kitchen and cook a few good dishes, and we'll talk and talk while we talk. Looking at Ming Tao, Fang Jiaming said indifferently. Ming Tao is a very measured person, he said that if he asked him to help, he would definitely be able to do this, so he nodded and agreed without hesitation.
"There is an auspicious jewelry store not far from here, and there is a set of red coral jewelry there, you can buy it for me. It's a bit expensive, you can buy it with the money in the store, it's not enough, you can also go to the branch to get the money, but there is one rule, no matter what, the set of jewelry can't be bought by other people. Ming Tao said directly.
"It's easy to do! If you like me, let people show it to you. Looking at Ming Tao, Fang Jiaming said indifferently. It is also his business, don't look at the fact that he didn't have any money when he came to a restaurant at the beginning, but now he has already made a lot of money, and secretly he also used his own money to buy some very potential shops, as for that jewelry store, it is one of the industries he has acquired in recent years. The set of red coral jewelry that Ming Tao said, he naturally knew that he didn't want to sell it, but thinking that he had no one he liked, it was useless to keep it, so he asked the boss there to carefully find a suitable buyer, and promised him that as long as this set of jewelry was sold at a high price, he would give him 30% of the income, but he didn't expect Ming Tao to take a fancy to them.
"You? To be honest, have you done some small actions in the past few years that we don't know about? Looking at Fang Jiaming, Ming Tao asked jokingly. Fang Jiaming just likes to cook, and he is not a fool, he has been with Mu Yunfeng and him for so long, he doesn't believe that he will always guard this restaurant.
"It's just a little bit, and it can't be compared to you." Squinting his eyes, Fang Jiaming pinched his middle finger with the thumb of his right hand and said modestly. Although he said it modestly, it could be seen from his smug eyes that he must be very satisfied with what he had done in recent years.
"Okay, you know, I'll go back to Qingzhuxuan first, remember to make a few more specialty dishes, I have a lot of friends with me." After finishing the matter, Ming Tao said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely greet you with the best specialty dishes." Fang Jiaming said with a smile. There are not many people who can be said to be friends by Ming Tao, I believe that today's guests must be unusual, as Ming Tao's friend, maybe he should go and see Ming Tao's friends later. Don't they all say that friends of friends are also friends?
Ming Tao returned to the private room the same way, he originally thought that when he came back, he would see everyone sitting in the private room and talking, who knew that when he came back, he actually saw Mu Yunqiao and the others standing at the door of Qingzhuxuan with five or six fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenagers arguing. Although Ming Tao and Mu Yunqiao and the others would not suffer, he still quickly approached the door of Qingzhu Xuan.
