Chapter Twenty-Eight: Fragrance House
This silk village is located in the bustling location of the street, the windbreaker is luxurious and elegant, and the place at the street is extremely eye-catching, and it will not attract many onlookers after a while. "This dress is so beautiful, how do you sell it?" Many people asked about the price of Xiao Yao's clothes.
Xiao Yao looked at the crowd of onlookers, most of them were ordinary people, and they would definitely not spend half a year of living expenses to buy a windbreaker, Xiao Yao was even more reluctant to earn the silver of these ordinary people, and he didn't answer, just pointed to the note on the clothes with his finger. Xiao Yao was waiting to catch a big fish, waiting for those rich ladies and noble ladies, so naturally he wouldn't talk to them much.
The emperor lives up to his wishes, hehe, finally a master has come to the door. At this time, an elderly aunt in her forties came from not far away, dressed gorgeously, but Xiao Yao really didn't dare to compliment the image of this aunt, her face was rouge like a monkey's buttocks, and Xiao Yao swallowed and salivaed when she saw it. However, in order to eat this free lunch invited by the eldest lady, I fought hard!
"Eldest sister, look at your rich face, graceful and luxurious, dignified and beautiful, the treasure of my store is simply tailor-made for you." Xiao Yao praised the aunt and directly called the aunt the eldest sister. Otherwise, an aunt will call out, and the clothes will not be sold anymore. Finally, the topic was brought to this trench coat.
The aunt on the other side was praised by Xiao Yao for her beauty, and secretly said that the young man could speak. Look at the fox fur trench coat next to him, well, it is indeed gorgeous and elegant enough, and then looked at the note on the clothes, and after looking at it for a long time, he didn't see how much it was, so he had to ask Xiao Yao for the price.
Xiao Yao also deliberately turned his head and stared at the note, "Sister, wait a minute, wait for me to ask the boss, I can't read the boss's handwriting clearly." After speaking, he shouted at the store, "Boss, how much did you write about this trench coat?" The little ones can't see clearly."
"Twenty-five taels of silver" The guy who was ordered by Xiao Yao just now shouted in the house, and the aunt next to Xiao Yao really listened to it.
"What? Boss, please say it again," Xiao Yao put his hand to his ear and shouted loudly inside.
"Twenty-five taels of silver, are you deaf?!" The "boss" of the store was slightly angry.
"Oh, oh, I hear you, boss. The little ears are very good, you are angry, hehe. He replied loudly to the house, and said to the aunt: "Sister, you also heard, the boss said that the tattoo is fifteen taels of silver, really, the price is written so sloppily, I can't see it clearly, I have to ask again, and I was scolded again." Hehe" smiled at the eldest sister after speaking.
The aunt on the other side came to the spirit now, her eyes rolled a few times, and she thought to herself, today is really a good day, just go out and pick such a big bargain. "Can it be cheaper? Little brother" secretly had fun in his heart, and at the same time pretended to bargain with Xiao Yao as if nothing happened.
"Eldest sister, don't embarrass the little brother, I'm just a guy who works for the boss, where do I have the right to call the shots, why don't I go in and ask the boss for you?" Xiao Yao said to her aunt in embarrassment, and kindly wanted to help her ask the boss if it was cheaper.
When the eldest aunt on the other side heard this, she hurriedly stopped Xiao Yao, who wanted to go in to ask, if she went in, wouldn't it be a good thing in vain? hurriedly took out the silver and counted out fifteen taels and handed it to Xiao Yao, took the clothes and left, walking faster than a rabbit. Before leaving, he didn't forget to praise Xiao Yao a few words.
Looking at the aunt who quickly disappeared into the crowd, Xiao Yao checked the fifteen taels of silver in his hand, smiled happily, and carried the wooden frame back to the house to pay the errand. As soon as he took two steps, he was stopped by the eldest lady who was leaning against the door and holding her chest with her arms crossed.
Rushuang witnessed the whole process of Xiao Yao's "cheating" again, the whole process was only a few minutes, not only successfully sold the clothes, but also earned an extra five taels of silver! At this moment, Zhao Rushuang doesn't know how to describe Xiao Yao opposite, if you want to say that he is treacherous, but he is also a buyer who is greedy for cheap, and in the end he was deceived, who can be blamed, not to mention how many "fools" are there in the world? Obviously you can take fifteen taels but give twenty-five taels?
"Hey, Miss, isn't it time for us to go to dinner?" Xiao Yao smiled at the eldest lady and mentioned what the two had said just now.
Rushuang sighed deeply in shock, this person is really a little clever, it seems that it has not been half an hour before. "Count you ruthless! But Miss Ben does what she says, and you go down the wooden frame and go out to dinner. ”
"Okay~ Wait a while, come out immediately" After speaking, he ran into the store and put down the wooden frame, then turned around and ran back to report to the eldest lady, "OK, let's go, I'll come back to pick up the things I bought in the morning after eating." ”
Rushuang still has the heart to worry about these things with him, those groceries that were bought at random on the street. The two walked one after the other towards a nearby restaurant.
Xiao Yao walked out not far with the eldest lady, at another crossroads, a three-story restaurant stands at the corner of the street, the façade is very atmospheric, only to see the door plaque hanging, engraved with "Piaoxiangju" three gold lacquer characters, the handwriting is strong and powerful, the lower right corner of the plaque is engraved with a person's name, it is estimated that it is the name of a famous person in the world for this restaurant.
There are two pillars on the left and right in front of the door, the left book: "people are based on morality", and the right is written: "The people take food as the sky". It is said that this was given by a certain dignitary of the imperial court when the restaurant was opened, which shows that the identity of the owner of the restaurant is not ordinary.
As soon as the two of them stepped into the restaurant, the spirited Xiao Er came forward to greet them and led the two of them upstairs. Which of the little two who works here is not a sharp-eyed girl, who looks at people and acts, and knows which big family it must be when she sees Rushuang at first glance. took the two of them directly to the window seat on the second floor, quickly wiped the tables and chairs for the two of them with the towel on their shoulders, and shouted to the guests downstairs to serve tea. Then he stood aside and waited for the two of them to order.
"You order." Rushuang directly dropped a sentence that was not salty, not light, and no nutrition, and then held the table with his right hand and dragged his head to look at the bustling street market outside the window in a daze, and ignored him no more.
Xiao Yao naturally wouldn't be defeated by the eldest lady's attitude of ignoring her, and still listened to Xiao Er fluently introduce the dishes of the restaurant on the side with high interest. However, most of the names of the dishes are too fancy, and Xiao Yao is dizzy when he listens to it. This era is not like the previous life, where the menu was directly ordered to the guests, and the picture of the modified dish was attached to the recipe so that people could intuitively see what the dish was. Until Xiao Er finished speaking, he didn't think about which dishes to eat.
Helpless, Xiao Yao had no choice but to instruct Xiao Er to try a few of the restaurant's signature dishes, two meat and two vegetables.
"Hey, my biggest shortcoming is that my heart is too soft, and I can't bear to break the bill for the eldest lady. After so many years, I have not been able to get rid of this problem. ”
"Am I still grateful to you? Can you be thicker?! "It's like a frost slap in the eye, if the eyes can kill, it is estimated that Xiao Yao can die many times.
Xiao Yao smiled wryly, "Today I will eat Miss's meal, and I will let you taste my craftsmanship in the future, which can be regarded as a thank you for your meal today." Don't always look like I owe you a thousand taels of silver, okay?"
Rushuang thought in her heart, if you weren't angry with me, I would be like this? And the face said to me, hum. "Then I'm looking forward to it, I really didn't see that you can cook?" After listening to Xiao Yao's construction, he looked at him with a little surprise. In this era, gentlemen are far away cooks, how can Rushuang not be surprised when she heard that Xiao Yao actually said that she could cook.
"There's a lot you don't know, hehe, find out slowly." Xiao Yao pretended to be a god and joked with Rushuang.
"Hmph, just blow it, I've never seen such a cheeky guy as you, boasting about yourself." Rushuang is also used to arguing with Xiao Yao, no matter what he says, he always has to say a few words of sarcasm to feel happy. Ever since she met Xiao Yao, she hadn't noticed that she had swept people more times recently than in the past.
Xiao Yao said a few jokes from time to time, and the atmosphere at this time was also a little relaxed, and the meal was quite enjoyable. Even the eldest lady, who usually has little food, actually ate a little too much of this meal, I don't know if it was brought by Xiao Yao, who was gobbling it up opposite.
Xiao Yao called Xiao Er to settle the bill, but heard Xiao Er say: "The two of you are objectively interested in going to the five pairs of the building, just one pair, and today's meal can be freed." It's just not right, and it's right to grow and hear. Huh"
Xiao Er's mention immediately aroused the interest of the two, but the mentality of the two was naturally very different. The eldest lady is naturally fond of couplet literature, but Xiao Yao is purely for free orders, and he has no interest in these.
The two followed Xiao Yao to the third floor, only to see that above the third floor, the decoration style was completely different from that downstairs, with less earthly hustle and bustle, and more natural simplicity and a slight bookish atmosphere. Let the guests who go upstairs involuntarily quiet down.
There were not many tables and chairs on the third floor, and only a large round table and eight Taishi chairs on the periphery were placed in the center of the spacious hall. But I saw that there were five eye-catching couplets hanging on the wall facing the staircase, with ink characters on a red background, and the handwriting was dancing with dragons and phoenixes, which was very imposing and showed everyone's demeanor. The five Shanglian were respectively refined and hung there neatly, spotless.
Xiao Er gave up his position and let Xiao Yao and Rushuang come forward to watch. Rushuang has also read poetry since childhood, but after reading for a long time, he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated about the previous neat downlink, but he also admired the person who came out of this uplink, and the person who can come out of such a link is a nobody.
After Xiao Yao finished reading the five pairs of Shanglian, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the 21st century is capital. In the four years of college, I have read a lot of classical literature in my professional classes, and naturally I often see some eternal absolutes, and the five pairs of Shanglian in front of me are also relatively level, but they can only be limited to this world, and it is naturally difficult to cross over Xiao Yao.
"We ......" Rushuang just said two words, but was interrupted by Xiao Yao.
"We're out." It was really shocking, Xiao Yao's words almost startled Xiao Er and rolled down the stairs. The eldest lady was also so shocked by him that she couldn't speak.
"Well, I mean, I'm out of the right one, don't get me wrong." Xiao Yao looked at the shocked expressions of the two and explained curtly.
After Xiao Yao finished speaking, he pointed to the first link on his left hand, "Laugh when you open your mouth, laugh at the past and laugh at the present, and laugh at everything." "My next link is: 'The big belly can tolerate, the sky and the earth, and what can I not tolerate', I don't know if it's okay?" After speaking, he turned his head to look at Xiao Er.
"The son is talented, but the little one really doesn't understand, please wait a while, I'll go and invite the owner." Xiao Er didn't expect that Xiao Yao, who seemed to be an entourage, would be able to deal with Xialian, so in such a short time, he hurriedly ran downstairs to tell the boss about this matter.
