Chapter 17: Do You Look Down on Me?
Mother Wu is a little annoyed now.
In terms of looking at people, she believes in her own vision, she has been running Qinlou for so many years, she believes that she will never look at the wrong person, when she met Dong Xiaowan in the pharmacy, she felt that this little girl with an extraordinary temperament and beautiful Chu Chu can definitely become a celebrity in Qinlou.
As she expected, in less than three months, Dong Xiaowan, who was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, became popular and became a big celebrity that guests were vying to see.
But Wu's mother also has something unpleasant, that is, Dong Xiaowan is too shrewd.
Don't look at her young age, but she is very assertive, when she first arrived in Qinlou, she immediately put forward two conditions, one is to remain free, and the other is to sell her art and not sell her body, for this reason, she is willing to take less dividends.
In order to keep this talented servant with great red potential, Wu's mother agreed to her.
But she found that this left a big hidden danger for the future.
Dong Xiaowan actually picked customers!
At the beginning, she saw everyone, but after she became a little popular, she began to put on music, and conditions such as not seeing customers during the day and vulgar businessmen came one after another.
Because she didn't sign a deed of sale, Wu's mother couldn't force her too much.
But this really made Wu's mother very unhappy.
For example, except for the Ximen master who came to see Dong Xiaowan in broad daylight today, Dong Xiaowan refused to see him again after seeing it once.
This is a rich man, in order to meet Dong Xiaowan, he directly increased the entanglement from 10 taels of silver to 20 taels, and also promised that if he could get Dong Xiaowan's first night, he would directly give 300 taels of silver.
But Dong Xiaowan actually refused, and she didn't see her several times in a row, whether it was day or night.
That's a lot of silver!
Wu's mother is really distressed.
As a last resort, Mother Wu came to call her in person today, but as soon as she arrived at Dong Xiaowan's small building, she saw her mingling with a young guy with clear eyebrows.
Didn't you get acquainted with each other in private?
Oh my God, that's 300 taels of silver!
Therefore, Wu's mother immediately questioned him.
"This is Chef Zheng's new apprentice, who was called by me to help make dim sum. ”
Mother Wu breathed a sigh of relief.
Dong Xiaowan wanted to toss dim sum, she knew that there were indeed kitchen servants who were called over by her to help. She has no objection to this, even if she is a clean person, it is good to have a few more skills to please guests.
She immediately ignored the existence of the little servant and said, "Let's put this matter aside for now, and follow me to meet Master Ximen, who is willing to give 20 taels of silver to wrap his head in order to see you." ”
"Nope. ”
It's such an unkind sentence again!
Wu's mother was really annoyed and began to count Dong Xiaowan.
"You girl, you don't see this, you don't see that, how can you make money here? Don't you know that you still owe thousands of taels of silver at home? What year and month are you going to pay it back?"
"That's my business. ”
Dong Xiaowan's appearance of not getting oil and salt really made Wu's mother angry, and she couldn't help but start talking coldly.
"Dong Xiaowan, you are no longer the daughter of the past, you better be more interesting, while you are young, you can earn more if you can, otherwise when you are old and decrepit, no one will want to make money!"
"Mother Wu, if you force me again, I will roll up and leave. ”
This is the serious consequence of not signing the deed of sale, Dong Xiaowan will threaten to leave with a roll at every turn.
This made Wu's mother helpless.
If this girl really leaves, Qin Lou will lose a lot, you know, even if Dong Xiaowan only sees guests at night, the income for one night is at least ten taels of silver, and if she meets a high roller, this income is even more.
Of these incomes, Qin Lou can get seventy percent, which is equivalent to the income of seven or eight ordinary red people.
Therefore, it is impossible for Wu's mother to really force Dong Xiaowan too hard.
"Alas, girl, you'll regret it later!"
Wu's mother sighed, found a step for herself and went down, and left helplessly.
This matter has blocked Dong Xiaowan.
Even though Wu's mother left, her mood still became very low.
She looked at Ivan, who was in a daze again, and suddenly had a lot to say to him.
"Derpy, do you look down on me?"
No matter how self-pitying and lonely she is, she still can't hide the fact that she has become a woman in the Qinglou.
Therefore, at this point, she is actually inferior.
And after Ivan saw her, his attitude has always been neither humble nor arrogant, in his eyes, Dong Xiaowan can't see evil thoughts, and in his words, Dong Xiaowan can't hear admiration and deliberate flattery.
His attitude is different from others.
But the more this happened, the less she tasted.
Ivan: "......"
Did I show that I looked down on you?
In my eyes, you're just an NPC that hasn't grown up yet!
It's the truth.
Because it was a quest dungeon, as soon as Ivan came in, he regarded the people in the dungeon as NPCs. Moreover, all he was thinking about now was how to complete the task, so he didn't think much about the little Lori in front of him who amazed him.
Is it possible that you still want to have some sexual encounters with her in the mission?
The mission time is only one month, what is there to think?
Moreover, such a small little Lori, if she thinks about it, will it be a little too evil?
Because of this, Ivan didn't think much about it at all, so he maintained a neither humble nor arrogant attitude towards Dong Xiaowan.
"Miss Dong, you think too much, what I see is sludge without staining. ”
A very simple answer, but it made Dong Xiaowan's heart bloom.
Yes, in the Qinglou, she is staying in a big quagmire, and she is trying her best to maintain the lotus-like nobility.
But who understands this?
Not a single one.
Even those talented people who spent a lot of money to ask to see her, Dong Xiaowan could see that their eyes were not pure.
She never expected that this Derpy, who had just met for the first time and was a kitchen boy, would poke at her true heart with a single word.
"Really?
Dong Xiaowan couldn't believe it, and once again said yes.
Ivan: "......"
How can this be fake?
To be honest, if he has no prejudice against the Qinglou woman at all, it is absolutely false.
But Dong Xiaowan, as one of the top ten famous chefs in ancient China, Ivan knows a little about her, knows that she is in the Qinglou because of the persecution of life, and also knows that she is also clean and self-conscious in the Qinglou, and therefore has a high achievement in cooking.
If she was really a very casual Qinglou woman, would history give her such a high evaluation?
And just now, in the conversation between Dong Xiaowan and Lao Bustard, he personally confirmed this, so he didn't mean to look down on her at all.
On the contrary, if this is not a quest copy but a reality, Ivan will still show respect for Dong Xiaowan.
Such a woman is indeed worthy of respect!
"Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid. ”
Ivan uttered another sentence that was a bit forced.
