Chapter 308: Complementarity
Beno was suspiciously silent.
"Nope."
Gu Rao raised her eyebrows.
If it really didn't, Besino's silence wouldn't have been silent.
"You're lying."
Don't be wild, "......"
"For the rest of the ivory scraps, I want to make you a hairpin of a different shape."
Gu Rao spread her hands to him.
"Bring it."
Don't be wild, "......"
Gu Rao waited for a while, glared at him and said aggrievedly, "Are you so reluctant to give it to me?" ”
Beye explained, "I will give it to you, but I can't give it to me if you use it to make a hairpin." ”
"I don't need anything that expensive."
Gu Rao narrowed her eyes.
"How much did you spend on ivory?"
She has been married to Beno for a year, and she may know a little more about him than he does.
It's not that he doesn't pay attention to image.
On the contrary, it seems that she likes his figure and appearance very much, he has changed from a rough man to a neat and tidy man, and he has even begun to pay attention to dressing, and occasionally he is willing to spend money to pamper himself.
If it weren't for the fact that the ivory was too expensive, he wouldn't have used it for her first, and he wouldn't have kept it for himself at all.
The hairpin carved from ivory still glows as white as jade in the candlelight.
It's beautiful.
Beiye said truthfully, "The merchant originally wanted to collect twelve taels of silver, but I only gave him nine thousand eight hundred wen. ”
Gu Rao, "......"
It was not expensive for them who had a stable income before, but it was indeed a little expensive for them who are now about to go bankrupt.
If I remember correctly, she didn't give Bino the money, and only gave him a little silver every month for living expenses.
Well, there is no doubt that he must have saved this money for a long time.
No wonder he is so reluctant to spend on himself.
"How much money do you have left?"
Beno said honestly, "I'm penniless now. ”
Gu Rao, "......"
Therefore, the reason why the merchant confiscated ten taels of silver from him and took him nine thousand eight hundred wen was because he only had nine thousand eight hundred wen on him.
"Don't be so impulsive next time."
"I don't need anything like that."
When she can, she is willing to spend as much as she wants to buy beautiful things, provided that it is within her ability, and it will not affect her life after buying.
When she doesn't have money, she can also save some.
In short, everything is within your means.
This is the experience she gained for many years in her previous life, and it has also become her code of conduct for many years.
"I don't have anywhere else to spend, so I'll use my pocket money." ”
"After the restaurant closes, you don't have to give me pocket money."
"The family keeps all the money in case of emergency."
Gu Rao didn't agree.
"Pocket money still has to be given, but it may not be as much as before."
Beye doesn't care much.
"You decide."
Gu Rao spread her hand in front of him again, raised her eyebrows and said, "Can you give me the rest of the ivory now?" ”
"Or do you want to pay for it from you?"
As he spoke, he was about to get up and get the money.
Beiye hurriedly held her down, with helplessness in his eyes.
"No money."
He turned over and took out the remaining ivory from a small wooden box in the closet.
After returning to Gu Rao, he asked, "What kind of hairpin did you use first?" ”
Gu Rao reached out and took it over to take a closer look.
The unpolished ivory is a little yellow on the outside, not very good-looking, and there is still some dirt on the fracture, and it is uneven, and the fingers feel a little tingling to the touch.
"It's the same as my hairpin."
"It's called husband and wife money."
Beno said, "The ivory is very hard, you can't grind it, so let me do it." ”
Gu Rao looked distrustful.
"You're lying to me again?"
Don't be wild, "......"
He rarely lies, and he told a white lie just now, but he didn't expect that after he lied only once, and after she exposed it, she lost her trust in herself.
Now I don't even believe the truth.
As soon as Gu Rao saw Beiye's expression, she knew that she had misunderstood.
What he said this time was true.
Still, she was tempted to try it out for herself.
"You can, why can't?"
The corners of Beye's mouth twitched slightly.
"You don't know how to make hairpins."
Gu Rao dealt with it casually.
"I can't learn it."
"Don't be wild," ...... It's going to hurt your hands. There are some things that you don't need to learn, as long as one of us knows how to do it. ”
"You can't carve hairpins, just like I can't needlework and I can't make my own clothes."
Gu Rao was finally convinced.
What Besano said is not unreasonable.
As the saying goes, husband and wife are not tired of working together, and since they can complement each other, why should she be able to learn everything?
Sometimes it's good to take it easy and learn to rely on each other.
This feeling of needing each other makes her like and enjoy it.
I grabbed Bienye's hand, flipped it over, looked at the palms and backs of my hands, and made sure that there were no major wounds before I put my mind at ease.
"Be careful, don't hurt yourself."
-
The next day, Gu Rao and Bie Ye came to the Little Good Restaurant after breakfast.
Xiao Dong greeted him enthusiastically as usual.
"Boss, boss, why did you come so early today?"
"We just had breakfast, you shouldn't have breakfast yet, I'm going to inform the kitchen and let them make it for you."
"What do you want to eat today?"
Gu Rao felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
If it weren't for the fact that there was really no way, the restaurant's business had lasted so long, but it still hadn't improved, and she was really reluctant to give up.
But what's the point of holding on for so long?
It's not that it's not getting better.
It's time to stop your losses in time.
She had encountered many things in the past, and she knew how to stop losses in time, but she was confused about this matter.
Another reason is that she is a little reluctant to let these guys go.
and the three chefs who were taught by her and were already able to cook many dishes on their own.
These two chefs signed a ten-year contract with them, otherwise Gu Rao would not have taught them all the recipes so selflessly.
"We've already eaten."
Xiao Dong wiped his hands embarrassedly, now there is no one in the store, and when there is nothing to do, the tables and stools are almost peeled off by them, and they are almost reflective.
Now he really didn't know what he was supposed to do, as if he could only sit there.
However, the boss and the hostess are still here......
Gu Rao saw his crampedness and said with a smile, "Didn't I tell you many times?" When you have nothing to do, you can do whatever you want, and you don't have to be so restricted. ”
Xiao Dong sighed in his heart for some reason, and looked at Gu Rao uneasily.
"Boss, can our little restaurant continue to open?"
Gu Rao had to admire his acumen.
"We're here today to tell you about it."
Originally, she planned to have lunch with everyone and take a good rest at noon before telling everyone about it, but now that Xiaodong asked, she said bluntly, "We came here today to tell you about this." ”
Xiao Dong's expression changed several times, ranging from the relief that the knife hanging above his head had finally fallen, to the pity and confusion of not knowing where to go in the future.
