Chapter 68: You Raise Me?
The news of the transformation of the middle-level magic weapon into a waste weapon seemed to have wings, and in just half an hour, it spread throughout the entire antique trading market, and almost everyone with a look of schadenfreude ridiculed the greedy Xu Jingkai.
You must know that Lu Dao was unwilling to sell it when someone bid for one million, but after two onmyoji re-appraisal, he found that it was a fake magic weapon, let alone a mid-level magic weapon, which is simply a big joke!
When Xu Jingkai, whose face was as ugly as his dead father, followed his father, who was lucky enough to be angry and had not yet died, when he returned to his store, many people had gathered outside the store at this time, and all of them did not step into the door of the store, but talked outside the gate:
"People say that Lao Tzu is a hero, that Xu Jingkai is a greedy child, and he is probably not a good thing. Tsk, a million wouldn't want to sell that fake thing, what a stupid fool. Someone gloated, Ha Lu, Ha Da Lang laughed.
"Yes! He still treats him as a baby, it's really embarrassing, I think that kid's character is really not good, when everyone praised him, that smug face, now I feel disgusting when I think about it. By the way, he seems to be sarcastic about a young man who lives on his own, hehe, what people were holding at the time was a magic chair, he wasn't even a magic weapon, why should he be sarcastic? ”
"I really want to hear the slap in the face, oh, it hurts! This time I not only lost my own people, but also lost my ancestors' people, what is that thing called? Yes, yes, that idiot named Xu Jingkai has become the biggest joke in our antique trading market, and the people are not enough to swallow the elephant! ”
"Who said it just now, since that kid is so greedy, I believe that he Lao Tzu and he also have a stinky virtue, this shop is doing business, I don't know how many people have been pitted in Ludao, everyone is publicizing and publicizing, don't come here in the future, it's all a goddamn greedy cheat."
“……”
Xu Shichang, who had a black face, returned to his shop with a hard head, his heart was full of angry flames, even if his son had picked up an antique worth forty or fifty thousand, but the surging anger was still surging, like a volcanic crater, and there was a tendency to erupt at any time.
Losing some money is like a son being cheated for 150,000 yuan in vain, his anger is not as strong as it is now, but his reputation is bad, and the loss is not just as simple as money. If the money is gone, you can make it again, after all, you have hands, feet, brains, and this store, but if your reputation is bad, who will come to your own store to talk about business?
"Close the door for me."
Suppressing the flames of anger, Xu Shichang shouted in a low voice after walking into the door four or five meters away.
Xu Jingkai, who was following behind his father in fear, suddenly trembled after hearing his father's low shouts, and hurriedly turned around to close the door.
"Oh, don't close the door! I heard that what you missed is not a magic weapon, but it is also a good antique! Let's talk about it, 40,000 yuan, I bought the antique. ”
A rough cry came, and then the big hands pushed on the door, preventing Xu Jingkai from closing the door.
"That's right! Rong Lao said, that thing is worth forty or fifty thousand antiques, I also want to buy it! No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat! Another voice came quickly.
"Haha......"
The crowd outside the door burst into laughter.
Xu Shichang, who had a black face, stiffened his body in vain as he walked towards the stairs, turned around angrily, and shouted, "Close the door." ”
Xu Jingkai felt that his face was hot at the moment, as if he had been slapped in the face by countless invisible slaps, and the taste of shame made him want to find a crack in the ground to get into.
The anger in his heart also erupted at this time, looking at the gloating faces outside, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and then shouted: "What to buy?" That thing doesn't sell. ”
Everyone outside the door listened to Xu Jingkai's angry words, and suddenly burst into laughter.
One of the middle-aged men shook his head with a smile and said, "Forget it, since people don't want to sell, then we can't force us to buy and sell!" Let's go, let's go! Since the item he picked up and missed was not a mid-level magic weapon, there should still be a middle-level magic weapon in the antique trading market, everyone should look for it again, maybe whose luck is good enough to find a real middle-level magic weapon! ”
With the middle-aged man's words, the crowd gathered quickly dissipated.
*******************************************************************************
Returning to his residence, Wang Ke found that Li Ruoxi had not returned, and the feeling that he was about to break through had disappeared at this time. Because it was only in the afternoon, Wang Ke did not practice immediately, but picked up the "Geography Sutra" that Zhao Menfeng gave him two days ago and memorized it, and now the "Geography Sutra" has been memorized for more than half of it, and I am confident that I will be able to memorize the entire content of the book when I get up tomorrow morning.
"Ding-dong......"
The doorbell rang, interrupting Wang Ke's train of thought of reciting the "Book of Geography", and after putting down the book in his hand, Wang Ke strode to the door, and through the cat's eye on the security door, he found that Li Ruoxi was standing outside.
Opening the door, Wang Ke's face was slightly stunned, because at this time, Li Ruoxi was carrying a lot of things in large bags and small bags, and even under her feet, there were all kinds of pots and spoons.
"How did you get so many things back?" Wang Ke wondered.
Li Ruoxi said with a smile: "The staff in the mall helped send it back." ”
Wang Ke was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously: "The staff in the mall will help deliver things home?" How come I haven't heard of ......"
His voice stopped abruptly, because he thought of a possibility, that is, the staff in the mall, it should be a man, and the reason why the other party would help Li Ruoxi send it back was entirely because of Li Ruoxi's beautiful appearance.
"If you look good, you just take advantage!"
Wang Ke sighed secretly in his heart.
Helping Li Ruoxi move everything back to the house, Wang Ke saw Li Ruoxi quickly put on an apron.
"Wang Ke, you go and get busy with your business first! I'll cook the kitchen myself tonight, so you'll be waiting for dinner! Li Ruoxi said with a smile.
Wang Ke nodded, although he was a little incredulous, thinking that Li Ruoxi would not be able to cook, but his curiosity was really aroused, and he wanted to know what the food made by Li Ruoxi tasted like.
Half an hour later, the smell of food wafting from the kitchen made Wang Ke's expression extremely strange.
"Wang Ke, the meal is almost over, hurry up and wash your hands and help me serve the food." Li Ruoxi in the kitchen shouted.
Wang Ke quickly put down the "Book of Geography" in his hand, strode to the kitchen, when he looked at Li Ruoxi, who was wearing an apron and copying hot and sour potato shreds, he couldn't help but nod secretly, and on the table next to him, there were already two plates of fried dishes on it.
The dishes look good!
After a short while, Wang Ke and Li Ruoxi, who had already untied their aprons, sat at the dinner table.
"How about a taste? I haven't been cooking for a long time, and I don't know if my cooking skills have regressed. Li Ruoxi said with a smile, with a hint of expectation on her beautiful face.
Wang Ke picked up a piece of braised pork ribs, and after eating, he said in surprise: "Yes, the color and flavor are complete, I didn't expect the dishes you made to be so delicious, and they are about to catch up with the chefs in the five-star hotel." Not bad, good wife and mother. ”
Li Ruoxi was a little excited by Wang Ke's praise, and there was a little more smugness in that bright smile, and said with a smile: "Of course, after two years of practice, my cooking skills have just entered the university, I rented a house with a good sister outside, and I usually don't eat in the school cafeteria at all, and almost all the meals are made by ourselves." ”
Wang Ke suddenly realized, nodded and smiled: "Very powerful, then the glorious and great task of cooking will be handed over to you." ”
Li Ruoxi looked stunned, then glanced at Wang Ke, and said angrily: "No wonder you are so good at talking today, dare to set me up?" If you want me to cook in the future, just say it! True hypocrisy. However, in the future, I can cook, and you can't give a penny less for living expenses. In this way, you will give me 5,000 yuan a month in the future, and I promise to let you eat and drink spicy food. ”
Wang Ke smiled bitterly: "Five thousand yuan? What are my living expenses? ”
Li Ruoxi said as a matter of course: "The two of us, doesn't my hard work for cooking count?" ”
Wang Ke was speechless and said with a wry smile: "So, I raised you?" ”
Li Ruoxi didn't think about it, and said, "Of course you support me, otherwise I will work hard to do housework......"
Her voice stopped abruptly, because she was keenly aware of the ambiguity and inappropriateness in her words.
Wang Ke also reacted suddenly, and his wryly smiling face instantly became sluggish.
The ambiguous atmosphere lingered in the hearts of the two, and the two of them, who were quite embarrassed, did not speak again, but silently cleaned the fragrant food on the table, and among the five or six people who came over, Li Ruoxi quickly put down the chopsticks, lowered his head and said, "I'm full, go and rest first, I'll clean up the dishes and chopsticks after you finish eating", and then quickly strode towards her room.
It wasn't until Li Ruoxi's back disappeared at the door that Wang Ke secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Li Ruoxi, who quickly returned to the bedroom, felt that her cheeks were very hot, and the ambiguous atmosphere between her and Wang Ke just now made her heart beat faster, and she felt restless and uncomfortable.
She didn't understand what the hell was wrong with her? I never had such emotions before, but today I let myself be in such a state of affairs because of a word.
Slowly covering her hot face with her hands, she reached out and locked the door, only then did she moan weakly and quickly fall onto the bed.
Wang Ke, who put down the chopsticks in his hand, turned his head to look at Li Ruoxi's door, and shook his head silently, the love between men and women is still too early for him, even if there is a little ambiguity between the two, but he will not take it as a thing, he thinks: A manly man, no career, how can he talk about family?
After eating, he brought the rest of the meal to the kitchen, and after washing the dishes and chopsticks, he looked at the time, and it was already half past six in the evening, so he turned and left the residence. Because he made an agreement with Tiezi, the boy who kowtowed to him yesterday, that he would teach him martial arts today, so he couldn't keep his word.
He felt a little curious about Tiezi, the boy with strength and stubbornness in his eyes, since he was an orphan, how did he live himself?
