Bie Ye was suspiciously silent for a moment.

"Nothing."

Gu Rao raised an eyebrow.

If it really wasn't there, Bie Ye wouldn't have been silent for a moment.

"You are lying."

Bie Ye, "..."

"I want to make you a hairpin with a different shape for the remaining ivory leftovers."

Gu Rao spread her hands at him.

"Bring it."

Bie Ye, "..."

Gu Rao waited for a while, stared at him wronged and said, "Are you so reluctant to give it to me?"

Bie Ye explained, "I'd give it to you, but I wouldn't give it up if you used it as a hairpin."

"I can't use anything that expensive."

Gu Rao narrowed his eyes.

"How much did you pay for the ivory?"

She had been married to Bie Ye for a year, and she probably knew him a little better than himself.

It's not that he doesn't care about his image.

On the contrary, it seems that she likes his figure and appearance very much. He has changed from a rough guy before to being neat and tidy like he is now. He has even started to pay attention to his clothes, and occasionally he is willing to spend money to groom himself.

If it weren't for the fact that ivory was too expensive, he wouldn't have kept her for it first, and wouldn't have kept it for himself.

The hairpin carved from ivory still glows as white as jade in the candlelight.

It's gorgeous.

Bie Ye said truthfully, "The vendor originally wanted to charge 12 taels of silver, but I only gave him [-] taels of silver."

Gu Rao, "..."

It is not expensive for those who had a stable income before, but it is indeed a little expensive for them who are about to go bankrupt now.

If I remember correctly, she didn't give Bieye any money, and she only gave him a little money for living expenses every month.

Then, there is no doubt that he must have saved this money for a long time.

No wonder he was so reluctant to spend on himself.

"How much money do you have left?"

Bieye said honestly, "I am penniless now."

Gu Rao, "..."

Therefore, the reason why the merchant confiscated him ten taels of silver, but took him [-] Wen, was because he only had [-] Wen.

"Don't be so impulsive next time."

"I don't need such a good thing."

When conditions permit, she is willing to spend any amount of money to buy beautiful things, provided that it is within her ability and that the purchase will not affect her life.

When she has no money, she can also save some.

In short, everything must be done according to one's ability.

This is the experience she has gained through many years of hard work in her previous life, and it has also become her code of conduct for many years.

Bie Ye said, "I don't have anything else to spend money on, so I just use my pocket money."

"After Xiaoguai Restaurant closes, you don't need to give me pocket money."

"The money at home is kept for emergencies."

Gu Rao did not agree.

"Pocket money is still given, but it may not be as much as before."

Bie Ye didn't care much.

"You decide."

Gu Rao spread her hands in front of him again, raised her eyebrows and said, "Can you give me the rest of the ivory now?"

"Or, do I have to pay to buy it from you?"

Then he got up and went to get the money.

Bie Ye hurriedly held her down, his eyes full of helplessness.

"No need to give money."

Folding body took out the remaining ivory from a small wooden box in the closet.

After returning to Gu Rao, he asked, "What kind of hairpin do you use first?"

Gu Rao reached out and took it over for a closer look.

The ivory that has not been polished is a little yellow on the outside, not very good-looking, and there are some dirt and unevenness at the fracture, and it feels a little tingling to the finger.

"Just the same as my hairpin."

"It's called husband and wife money."

Bie Ye said, "Ivory is very hard, you can't grind it, let me do it."

Gu Rao looked distrustful.

"Are you lying to me again?"

Bie Ye, "..."

He usually seldom lies. He told a white lie just now, but he didn't expect to tell a lie just once, and after being exposed by her, she lost her trust in herself.

Now I don't even believe the truth.

Seeing Bie Ye's expression, Gu Rao knew that he had misunderstood.

He was telling the truth this time.

Still, she was eager to try it out for herself.

"You can do it, why can't I?"

The corner of Bieye's mouth twitched slightly.

"You don't know how to make hairpins."

Gu Rao responded casually.

"I can't learn it."

Bie Ye, "...it will hurt your hands. You don't need to learn some things, as long as one of us knows it."

"You can't carve a hairpin, just like I can't sew or make my own clothes."

Gu Rao was finally convinced.

What Bie Ye said is not unreasonable.

As the saying goes, a husband and wife are not tired of working together. Since they can complement each other, why should she try to learn everything?
Sometimes it is a good thing to relax and learn to rely on each other.

This feeling of needing each other made her like and enjoy it very much.

He grabbed Bieye's hand, tossed it back and forth, looked at the palm and back of his hand, and felt relieved after confirming that there were no major wounds.

"Be careful, don't hurt yourself."
-
The next day, Gu Rao and Bie Ye came to Xiaoguai Restaurant after having breakfast.

Xiaodong greeted him enthusiastically as usual.

"Boss, lady boss, why did you come so early today?"

"We just had breakfast, you probably haven't eaten 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.

If it wasn't really helpless, the restaurant's business persisted for so long, but it still didn't improve, she really couldn't bear to give up.

However, what is the point of persisting for so long?
Still not much better.

It's time to cut losses in time.

She has encountered many things in the past, and she knows to stop losses in time, but she is confused about this matter.

Another reason is that she is a bit reluctant to part with these guys.

And the three chefs who were taught by her and have been able to cook many dishes alone.

The two cooks signed a ten-year contract with them, otherwise Gu Rao would not have taught them all the recipes so impartially.

"We've already eaten."

Xiaodong wiped his hands in embarrassment. There is no one in the store now. When they have nothing to do, the tables and stools are almost peeled off by them, and they are almost glistening.

Now he really doesn't know what to do, it seems that he can only sit.

However, the boss and the proprietress are still here...

Seeing his embarrassment, Gu Rao smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you many times? When you have nothing to do, you can do whatever you want. You don't have to be so restrained."

For some reason, Xiaodong thumped in his heart, and looked at Gu Rao anxiously.

"Miss Boss, can our Xiaoguai Restaurant continue to operate?"

Gu Rao had to admire his sharpness.

Originally, she planned to have lunch with everyone and take a good rest at noon before telling everyone about this matter, but now that Xiaodong asked, she said bluntly, "We came here today to tell you about this matter."

Xiaodong's expression changed several times, ranging from relief that the knife hanging above his head had finally fallen, to regret and bewilderment about where to go in the future.
