26. Werner Chamber of Commerce in Rock City
The room was empty, and there was no sound except for my "Is there anyone?" that kept echoing through the room.
We stood there for half a minute, and there was no movement.
"It looks like no one."
Xiao Nan said: "Kitten, let's go and sit on the chair for a while, wait for Uncle Niu." ”
I nodded in agreement and walked towards the cluttered chairs in the center of the room, observing the surroundings as I went.
After all, I just made a cursory observation, and I have a general understanding of the layout here, so I have nothing to do now, and the only thing I can do is to look at the furnishings here, after all, it is an outsider, and it is not polite to touch the things here at will.
After looking at it for a while, I felt as if I could only describe this chamber of commerce as 'four walls of home'.
Although Niu Kelian had explained before that the Werner Chamber of Commerce in Rock City was an extremely simple small chamber of commerce, and I had been mentally prepared for this, I definitely didn't expect that it would be too modest to describe it as 'concise', and it was simply 'dilapidated' here.
Whether it's a bookshelf or a bar, from the outside, it should be some years old, and these wooden furniture have one thing in common, a large layer of paint has fallen off it.
I looked up at the ceiling, although the main body of the chamber of commerce was made of stone bricks, but the ceiling was still made of wooden planks, and I could clearly see that a ceiling above my head had a hole half a meter long and wide.
Well, this hole has been filled, and it seems to be filled quite seriously, I don't know what material is used, there are some fine patterns on it, and it looks like a chrysanthemum.
Of course, although the gas phase here is a little dilapidated, it is not without exquisite things.
On the wall behind the bar, there is a gilt plaque, shining in the light of the candle, on which are written four yang-engraved gilt characters, which I recognized for a long time, and it reads 'auspicious imperial exemption'.
I can't help but think that if I search the entire Chamber of Commerce, maybe this brand is more valuable, right?
But when I saw this sign, I couldn't help but have a strange thought in my mind: what the hell is this place?
Now I've basically accepted the 'getting smaller' setting, but then some of the stranger settings have started to drill into my head, such as: Why do people in this world speak Chinese?
Leave aside the language issue for the time being, anyway, even Niu Kelian can't explain this issue clearly.
I am thinking about another question now: Werner Chamber of Commerce, Vice President Phyllis, these two extremely foreign names make people think of those crooked nuts when they hear it, if this is the territory of foreigners, then what the hell is this 'Xiangrui Yufu' plaque written in Chinese with four dragons flying and phoenix dancing?
No matter how you think about this non-earthy and non-foreign combination, it feels inconsistent, right?
It's like the old Wang next door gave birth to three children, the eldest is called Wang Daquan, the second is called Wang Dazhu, and the third is James Bond Wang.
However, the people here don't seem to think that there is anything strange about this combination, but instead hang this plaque in the most conspicuous place in the whole house.
Not to mention, no matter how you look at these four words, they seem to be used to ward off evil spirits.
I couldn't help but wonder what kind of person the branch president of this chamber of commerce, Phyllis Werner, was.
Judging from the name and the information I learned from Niu Kelian, I think the other party should be a graceful and luxurious lady.
However, when I took into account the unearthly decorations in these chambers of commerce, the image of this person in my mind was that of a big girl wearing a big flower jacket, two braids, and a mouth full of Northeast ballast.
I dragged over a chair beside me, analyzing these strange thoughts in my mind, my eyes still fixed on the environment, and sat down as I thought.
As a result, I suddenly felt my body sink and move with a loud noise...... The chair is broken!
Such a sudden situation made my body unable to maintain my center of gravity, and sat on the ground.
"Shhh...... It hurts...... What the hell is this? ”
Xiao Nan looked at me blankly, stunned for a few seconds, and hurriedly stood up and pulled me up.
I looked at the shards of chairs on the ground, stunned.
"What kind of broken chair is this? Shattered as soon as you sat on it? ”
At this moment, a soft female voice suddenly came from the bar: "Ah, what sound?" ”
Xiao Nan and I turned our heads at the same time and looked at the bar, and then, a voice suddenly popped up in my head: "Where did this voice come from?" ”
I looked closely for a while, and the back of the bar was empty except for the plaque that was still glinting.
If it weren't for the fact that the voice didn't have the slightest sense of aggression, I might even wonder if it might be haunted in such a haunted chamber of commerce.
I muttered to myself and walked towards the bar. As I got closer, I heard a creaking crunch from behind the bar.
I pondered for a moment and asked, "Who's over there?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a small head with short silver hair poking out from behind the bar.
I fixed my eyes on ...... Forehead...... How would I describe the face I saw?
At this point, there was only one word in my head: cute.
My impression stayed on these points: short silver hair, a small face carved in pink, and big black eyes, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: What a perfect little face.
It wasn't until my gaze swept over the corners of her mouth that my impression of the perfect face began to be shattered: a worm leg hanging from the corner of her mouth.
I saw her staring at me in surprise for a while, and then exclaimed in a soft voice: "Oh my God, there are guests here, oops, there is a long way to go, please sit down." ”
She said as she walked out from behind the bar.
When she came up to me, I glanced at her outfit, and my sense of disobedience to the chamber of commerce grew stronger.
I saw that she was wearing a black court dress from the Victorian era in England, with exquisite workmanship and extraordinarily luxurious, which was very different from the dilapidated style of the Chamber of Commerce in front of her.
The point is her height, which is so short that I even doubt that the other party is a primary school student.
"Is she 1.5 meters tall?"
Delicate faces, sumptuous Victorian court costumes, less than a meter five tall...... It's like a goth Lori! Of course, please don't ignore the unknown worm leg in the corner of her mouth, this detail proves that this loli was not long ago...... Ate a bug.
I saw her look me up and down with her eyes, and said, "Ha, welcome, welcome, please don't care about my behavior, after all, our store has not received new customers for more than half a year, and I am a little excited." ”
She seemed to think that we were customers, and although her demeanor was still elegant, it was difficult to hide her excited expression.
"Welcome to the Werner Chamber of Commerce in Rock City, the purpose of our Chamber of Commerce is: we are not businessmen, we are just a group of young people who have come together with the common purpose of making money, so the two customers can rest assured that we have no black-hearted businessmen here, not a single one."
Not...... This phrase seems to have been heard somewhere.
Xiao Nan pointed to the corner of Xiao Lori's mouth and said, "You have a leg at the corner of your mouth." ”
Little Lori touched the corners of her mouth silently and said with a smile: "Ha, don't care about these details." ”
After a pause, she continued: "What business do you two want to do when you come to our Werner Chamber of Commerce?" ”
Xiao Nan pointed to the corner of Xiao Lori's mouth and said again: "It's not this side, the legs are hanging on the other side." ”
Little Lori stretched out her hand, touched the corner of the other side of her mouth, and finally touched the leg, and stuffed the leg into her mouth, so far, the previous impression of her perfection in my mind was completely shattered.
Little Lori smiled and waved her hand: "I said don't care about these details, come, please sit down, let's talk about business first, and then talk about other things." ”
I could only hear Xiao Nan's voice faintly coming from my side: "Let's stand and talk, your chair is not strong, and it is easy to have an accident when you sit on it, and I had an accident just now." ”
Xiao Nan said as she stretched out her hand and pointed to the fragments of the chair on the ground that had collapsed before I sat down.
Little Lori smiled: "Okay, let's talk about it standing up, that chair is worth ten silver coins, remember to count it in the business negotiation later." ”
Me, Xiao Nan: "......"
