Chapter 61: The Only Child
The tenth day of the opening of Wuhua Building.
"Girl... These, only seven days..."The jade bottle looked incredulously at the large pile of broken silver on the table. Except for the first three days of investment, she had just finished counting the silver, and she was like in a dream: "I made a net profit of three hundred and fifty taels." ”
"It's only three hundred and fifty taels, so-so." Chi Jing frowned a little dissatisfied, after a while, I have to go to other places to open a few semicolons... Relying only on Gucheng as a place, the money is too slow.
I want to open the semicolon to the capital... It's also convenient to act in the future...
The jade bottle didn't know Chi Jing's inner plan, and she only thought that she was doing business so that she couldn't marry in the future, so she could rely on her old age...
So what she thinks in her heart is completely different from Chi Jing. In her opinion, the cost of tofu is extremely low and the price is not expensive. Ordinary tofu shop owners come down in January, and those who get up early and are greedy for darkness can earn about two taels of silver at most. Although the price of their stinky tofu in Wuhua Building is not high, it has only been seven days, seven days.
Although the stinky tofu has been no longer posted since the fourth day, the people queuing outside the door every day still surround the entrance of Wuhua Building. Because although stinky tofu began to be bought with silver, buying a stinky tofu also gave a small bag of spicy strips.
Everyone found that although the things produced by Wuhua Lou were strange, they were rare and delicious. After seeing the charm of stinky tofu, I naturally wanted to try the taste of this spicy strip by the way.
But as soon as you try it at first... The jade bottle hooked her lips, not realizing that her cunning appearance at this time was the same as Chi Jing.
In addition to being addicted to eating, there is a second reason for the booming stinky tofu business, that is, the "purchase limit" mentioned by the girl. Wuhua Lou claimed that in order to ensure the freshness of stinky tofu, a certain amount was sold every day, and no matter what time it was sold out on the same day, it could only be sold the next day.
In addition, there are a lot of people in line, but not everyone wants to line up outside the door, and of course, there is no shortage of queues. Most of those who cut in line are the maids of large families, and the masters of the family are in a hurry to eat or prepare to entertain guests, so they are naturally not short of money.
So much so that the people who queued up continued to queue up, and those who didn't want to queue up offered double the price, triple the price, or even ten times the price to cut the line...
Wuhualou was in the limelight for a while, and the whole solid city was stinking.
...
"Brother Nie, does the person I asked you to find have eyebrows?" In a private room on the second floor. Chi Jing and Nie Yihan sat opposite each other by the window, and there was a pot of freshly brewed incense pieces in front of them, and the refreshing aroma was scattered all over the room, and immersing themselves in it made people feel calm.
"I have never been looking for anyone, as long as I know the name, there is nothing I can't find." Unless he doesn't know his name, just like his mother-killing enemy. "But what you said about the head of the Cheng channel, the people under my command came back and said that they found nothing, and they had no clue."
No one has ever heard of the name of this pseudo-Taoist priest? It's a pity that the other round-faced small-eyed Taoist priest never revealed his name. Chi Jing's eyes were cold, but he didn't say anything, and slowly lowered his head and took a sip of tea.
"Jing'er, who is this honest Taoist?" Looking at her fierce eyes and vowing to cut people with a thousand knives, she will definitely not be a good person.
"I don't know who it is, anyway, Brother Nie, you help me keep an eye on it, and tell me if there is news about this person." Chi Jing didn't want to say more.
"Okay." He immediately responded, and decided to let Qinqi, calligraphy and painting go out to find a few more after he went back, and he had to find people after digging three feet into the ground.
"Brother Nie, you're so nice." Another burst of warmth flowed through Chi Jing's heart. "Is it because I saved you that you let me take what I want?"
"Of course not..."Nie Yihan's scalp tingled... Do you want to tell Jing'er that she treats her well because she has a similar temperament to her late mother, so she has a good impression of her for no reason and spoils her unconditionally?
Because you're kind of like my mother... He shuddered, not daring to imagine the consequences.
"Brother Nie, do you have a sister? You treat me well, is it because I look like your long-lost sister? "It's all done on TV, and when I see my little sister who is about the same age as me, I think of my sister who was separated when I was a child. She occupied Xiu'er's body, Xiu'er was only sixteen years old, and she couldn't be like her mother.
I've always had this idea, and the more I think about it, the more I think about it. Chi Jing took a bowl of water with great interest, and pulled out a dagger like lightning: "You ancients... Ah no, don't you folk have a saying that you can drip blood to recognize relatives? ”
"..."Nie Yihan raised his forehead.
...
Nie Yihan repeatedly assured himself that he was his mother's only child, and stopped Chi Jing's self-harm of cutting his finger to take blood.
"Really? It's strange, why are you all the only children in the family..."Chi Jing muttered, feeling very unusual. There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great. In particular, the traditional conservative ancients were proud of the large number of children they had born. Why did she meet the only seedlings in the family?
If Nie Yihan was really not her brother's blood relative, then why couldn't she see his death?
"This son, please come here." While talking to Nie Yihan, the room in the private room was opened, and Chi Jing quickly put on the veil.
The young man who led the way was dumbfounded when he saw the two people in the room. Obviously there was no one here just now... The business of Wuhua Building is so good, and the private rooms are all full. On the second floor, these people almost came to taste the new dish fruit wood roast duck...
Chi Jing was not half disturbed by the displeasure: "I just came in by myself, and I forgot to inform you." But man, you have to remember that the next time you enter a wing, if there is no one in the room, you have to knock on the door. ”
When it's not so busy another day, you should call the jade bottle to train the people in the Wuhua Building.
The young man was reckless, and his face was slightly red. Anyway, you can talk about it at any time, you can't do business, and the guests are your parents. Chi Jing and Nie Yihan got up together and were about to give up the private room.
"No need, my son doesn't like the smell in this room." The man in white who came first in the house still carried a pot of wine in his hand, and he didn't need a cup, so he directly took the wine jug and poured a few sips into his mouth. A pair of narrow and misty eyes glanced at Chi Jing and the others with some woodenness, and turned to leave without saying anything. The entourage behind him also reluctantly followed and left, but they also glanced at Chi Jing before leaving.
Do you not like the taste of fragrant tea in this room, or the taste of private meetings between men and women?
"You!" Nie Yihan was furious, and he was about to catch up.
"Brother Nie, no." Chi Jing stopped him, "It's just a trivial matter." You can't make a fuss in my Wuhua Building. ”
"Hmm." The disturbance in the newly opened restaurant did not have a good impact, and Nie Yihan had to endure it. Don't let him run into this person in the future!
