Section 155 Chapter 148 Tokens
Xiao Ruo lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said: "The jade cream was given to Xiao Ruo by Mr. Jiang, and it was also an accident to develop it to make money. It's not impossible to divide this jade cream into fifty or five, but I have two requirements, one is that this jade cream can only be sold exclusively by Ju Xia Lou, and it must be used as a product of Ju Xia Lou. You can't open another fat shop to sell it. The second is that you are responsible for all labor and raw materials, and I only extract 50% of the net profit at the end of each month. How is it? ”
"No problem." Kim Cong readily agreed. It would be foolish for him not to agree, Ju Xia Lou was originally his own property, and now it is just temporarily handed over to Xiao Ruo to take care of. If it is taken back in the future, the jade cream will already be in the eyes of others, and it will be the stuff of Juxialou. Not only did he not lose anything, but he also made a profit!
Jin Cong is different from his father. The thin old man likes to collect all kinds of treasures, the more expensive the better, and hide them in his secret cave. And Jin Cong also likes treasures, but he wants to exchange treasures for gold and silver, instead of guarding them. In other words, Jin Cong should love gold and silver more.
"Ahem, actually, there's one more thing I haven't told you." Jin Cong coughed hypocritically and said with a serious face.
Xiao Ruo looked at Jin Cong's expression, thinking that something bad had happened during the time she left Ju Xia Lou, and suddenly Xiumei frowned slightly and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"That ......" Jin Cong looked at Xiao Ruo's worried look, and suddenly laughed out loud.
Xiao Ruo knew that he had been tricked at a glance, and his slender hand immediately turned into an embroidered fist and hit Jin Cong's body: "Tell you to play me!" Tell you to play me! ”
Jin Cong hid and told him to spare: "Don't, don't fight, I really have something to tell you!" ”
"Say, what the hell is going on?" Xiao Ruo glared at Jin Cong and stood still with a suspicious look.
"This morning, nine women who did not come to the opening ceremony yesterday came to Juxialou to inquire about the jade cream. But you weren't there, so I made the decision and sold it for thirty taels of silver per bottle! Jin Cong said with a smile, the smile on his face was dazzling.
Xiao Ruo saw too much, so he ignored Jin Cong's delicate face like a woman, but he was really shocked by what Jin Cong said just now: "Thirty taels per bottle?!" You're robbing! ”
"How did you talk, rob what?! Women love beauty, nature dictates, besides, a bottle of jade cream can be used for a month and a half, and I can only earn sixty taels of silver for one of them for three months, I think I'm too kind! Jin Cong said disdainfully.
Xiao Ruo shook helplessly, sure enough, a woman's money is the best to earn!
This bottle of jade cream is not like what Jin Cong said, the materials are all precious things. The cost of a whole bottle is only one tael of silver, but the jade bottle outside needs two taels. Originally, Xiaoruo was going to sell ten taels of silver and look at the market. If not, then reduce the price as appropriate. Three times the price, she thought she was already very dark-hearted. Unexpectedly, her black heart, in front of Jin Cong, is not even comparable to the drizzle. Thirty taels! The cost price is only three taels, ten times the price! Oh my God, how can there be such a black-hearted person! The problem is, there are still people who buy it! It seems that this Kyoto, as expected, is the land of the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, everyone is so rich, so is her buffet price too cheap?
Xiao Ruo rolled her eyes, ignoring how good Jin Cong was promoting herself there, and walked towards her room.
"Hey, hey, why are you leaving......" Jin Cong shouted a little unhappily when he saw Xiao Ruo leaving on his own.
Lan Yucheng has always been by Xiao Ruo's side, he looked at Jin Cong and Xiao Ruo talking and laughing, playing and making trouble, and suddenly had a thought in his heart: "Perhaps, Jin Cong is Xiao Ruo's real destination." But as soon as the thought came to his mind, his heart was like taking a foreign poisonous weed, a sharp pain like a thousand insects and ants.
How could he be so selfish, he couldn't give her happiness, why should he be so reluctant to her?!
Under Lan Yucheng's mask, his terrifying face was full of self-blame and sadness. Perhaps, he shouldn't have stayed by her side anymore. As long as he listened to her and watched her smile, his desire to take her into his arms would not break. He had to leave her, he couldn't let himself go on like this. After a year, he will not appear in front of her again.
……
"Liu Niang greets the Lord." In the dark room of Wanhualou, Liu Niang knelt on the ground.
Here, there is only one candle, which shimmers slightly. The swaying light can't see what the master in Liu Niang's mouth looks like.
"You're in a hurry to see me, what's the matter?" The man sat on the Taishi chair, picked up the teacup on the coffee table next to him, gently opened the tea leaves that were still floating on his face, and took a sip.
"Master, Kyoto Juxia House reopened today, and the identity of the new owner is unknown, it is a woman named Jin Xiaoruo. It has a close relationship with the former owner of Ju Xia Lou, Jin Cong. Liu Niang knelt on the ground respectfully, bowed her head and said. At this time, how dare she show the posture of seducing men on weekdays, she is afraid that she will be killed by the master in front of her immediately.
The man listened to Liu Niang's words, cut off the action of drinking tea, squinted his eyes, looked at Liu Niang and said, "I asked you to check, and you found these?" After speaking, I saw that cup of hot tea smashed on Liu Niang.
Liu Niang's body was naturally scalded by the hot tea that splashed out, but she didn't dare to have the slightest expression of pain, so she hurriedly bowed to the ground in fear and said: "Liu Niang is useless, please calm your anger." There were several knocks.
"You should know how I treat useless people." After a long time, the man's deep voice sounded in Liu Niang's ears again.
"The Lord spares her life, Liu Niang knows that she should die, but I just hope that the Lord can give Liu Niang another chance, so that Liu Niang can do a little bit for the Lord." Liu Niang's originally charming face was all pale at the moment, which showed how terrifying this man was in her mind.
"Hmph, you should know that there are many women under my command who can seduce men. If you can't do it, someone can replace you! The man snorted coldly, which suddenly made Liu Niang's already trembling body tremble even more.
"Yes, Liu Niang knows, Liu Niang knows......" Liu Niang kowtowed heavily to the ground, and blood was gradually oozing from her forehead.
The man's brows furrowed, and he said, "That's it, it will only hurt you." Remember, the new shopkeeper of Ju Xia Lou is the female disciple of the old man Shenji. It is rumored that the old man of the god machine is very fond of this woman, and not long ago, he just hired the second of Qianfeng Mountain to protect her. This woman rose from the ground, no one accepted her as a disciple when and where the old man of the magic machine, and the name Jin Xiaoruo should not be her real name. Your mission is to find out who she really is. Hopefully, this time, you won't let me down again! ”
"Yes, Liu Niang must find out the true identity of the new owner of Ju Xia Lou as soon as possible and live up to the high expectations of the lord." Liu Niang lowered her head and said firmly. As the Lord said, there are many people who can replace her, and if she is replaced, then she has no reason to continue to live in this world.
The man took out a piece of another from his arms, which was still on Liu Niang's body, and said: "You keep this token, if there is any trouble, you can directly connect with Jia Er and let him help you." ”
"Yes, thank you, Lord." Liu Niang picked up the token on the ground and carefully tucked it away in the cuff.
The man stood up, threw his left hand behind him, pinched Liu Niang's chin with his right hand, and said, "You'd better do it yourself!" Hum! With that, he let go of his sleeves, opened the mechanism, and left through a secret door.
Liu Niang didn't stand up from the ground until the stone door was completely closed. He took out his handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat from her head. He exhaled deeply towards the place where the man had just left. Every time she saw the Lord, she felt as terrifying as if she was facing an army of 100,000. It was a feeling that you would die anytime and anywhere, you couldn't resist, you couldn't struggle, you could only wait for death to come.
Liu Niang touched the token in the cuff, remembered the masked man who was following the boss of Ju Xia Building, and after standing still for a while, she also left the dark room.
