Quick Transmigration: After becoming beautiful, I am numb

Chapter 84 The Vicious Stepmother of the Republic of China ([-])
"Mom, Grandma Zhu is so kind!"

Li Yaozong held Gu Qingcheng's hand and said in a childish voice.

"Well! He is indeed an enthusiastic person."

Gu Qingcheng responded casually, but her thoughts were swirling.

Uncle Zhu is kind-hearted with the shrewdness of a commoner, while Aunt Zhu is pure enthusiasm.

These little people are definitely not perfect, but they have their own kindness.

Inexplicably, Gu Qingcheng gained a deeper understanding of the world and the market in this era——

This is no longer a false world derived from Huabenzi, but a vivid and real existence.

She seemed to have touched something, and her state of mind changed slightly.

And all of this, Gu Qingcheng himself did not notice.

Not to mention the little mental retardation of Huoshui.

It has "preconceived" Gu Qingcheng of this world as a villain with low character.

Will the villain feel compassion for the humble common people?

Ha, instead of believing this, it is better to believe that the heroine Han Qiuyu can be original.

Gu Qingcheng found the Yu family's shop according to the address provided by Aunt Zhu.

She also revealed her identity according to Aunt Zhu's instructions, "My surname is Gu, and I just rented the yard of Uncle Zhu's house in the back street."

"Oh, you rented Lao Zhu's house! Oh, you have eyes, his yard is really nice."

Boss Yu is white and fat, smiles when he talks, and looks very kind.

However, Gu Qingcheng did not ignore the shrewdness that flashed in his eyes.

You can't just say that someone is a smiling tiger and a profiteer when you first meet him, but this person is definitely not the easy-talking person he showed.

Sure enough, when it came time to negotiate the price, Gu Qingcheng had a taste of Boss Yu's shrewdness.

That lip service is too sharp.

The key is that what people say is very ironic, as if it is really for your consideration.

Earn your money, but also let you feel grateful.

This position is really not low.

Gu Qingcheng was clear in his heart, but he still followed the shopkeeper's routine and "gratefully" paid for it.

"Ms. Gu, if you want to make clothes in the future, just come here. I not only sell ready-made clothes, but also tailor-made for you."

Boss Yu quickly helped Gu Qingcheng pack the bags, not forgetting to continue soliciting business.

"Okay! Come back later!"

Gu Qingcheng responded with a smile, and then picked up the bundled bedding and other items.

Well, it's quite heavy.

Gu Qingcheng almost didn't mention it.

Boss Yu is so shrewd. Seeing that Gu Qingcheng is just a "rich lady" who has never done any heavy work, he hurriedly greeted the boys in the shop.

"Xiao Duozi, don't you hurry to help?"

A boy of thirteen or fourteen years old answered "Hey", and quickly came to Gu Qingcheng and helped her carry her luggage.

"Thank you! Thank you, Boss."

Gu Qingcheng thanked her again, she was not polite.

There was no way, she had really never done this kind of physical work, and she couldn't do it in some cases.

She can indeed live the life of a common people and endure hardships, but there is no need to ask for hardships.

There is a shortcut that saves effort, why doesn't she take it?
Xiao Duozi looked thin, but he was very strong. He easily carried the big baggage and followed Gu Qingcheng.

When passing by Zhu's house, Aunt Zhu stood at the door and chatted with her neighbors.

With her sharp eyes, she immediately spotted Gu Qingcheng.

"Oh, bought it back? Lao Yu is good, and asked Xiao Duozi to bring it back to you?"

"Yes, thanks to the good shop you introduced. When Boss Yu heard that I rented your yard, he calculated the lowest price for me."

Gu Qingcheng thanked him politely.

She omitted the negotiation process where she had a heated argument with her boss.

No need!
Besides, Aunt Zhu doesn’t want to hear this.

Gu Qingcheng felt the "reality" of this world and integrated into it with the utmost enthusiasm.

So, she began to live like a commoner.

He casually complimented the landlord and earned a "reserved" giggle from the old lady. The relationship between the two parties seemed to have become closer.

After praising Aunt Zhu happily, Gu Qingcheng said goodbye and left.

After arriving at the small courtyard and opening the door, Xiao Duozi helped put the big bundle on the Eight Immortals table in the living room.

Gu Qingcheng took out a dime from his pocket.

After confronting Boss Yu, Gu Qingcheng finally knew that there were silver horns under the silver dollar, and nickel and copper coins with smaller denominations.

Most of the flowers used by ordinary people are silver horns and nickel coins.

Ocean or something is rarely used.

Too much face value.

Some vendors can't find enough change.

Gu Qingcheng got a lot of change from the boss, so she simply picked a coin with a denomination of "one dime" and handed it to Xiao Duozi.

Xiao Duozi didn't answer it, his face flushed red, and he whispered, "Madam, just give me a penny."

Gu Qingcheng was stunned for a moment, and then she seemed to think of something.

Take back the dime, and then pick out another one-cent copper coin.

"Thank you, ma'am! Thank you, ma'am! I wish you a long life and good health!"

Xiao Duozi took the copper coin and bowed deeply with joy.

He is an apprentice, just eat, no wages.

However, if you meet a generous customer and give a reward of one cent and two cents, the shopkeeper will "generously" let him keep it for himself.

This is his only source of income.

Gu Qingcheng smiled and nodded, watching Xiao Duozi leave.

"Executor, why doesn't he want that dime?"

After seeing the whole process, Huoshui was a little puzzled: Isn't a dime worth more than a cent?

Why do some people still think it’s too much money?

"Because a dime is more, but a penny is less!" Gu Qingcheng said quietly.

Huoshui: ... Isn't this nonsense?
Huh, if you don’t tell me, I can’t peep?
Huoshui has a God's perspective. In addition to following Gu Qingcheng, it can also monitor other people and places like a universal camera.

It quietly opened the perspective of God and chased Xiaoduozi away.

Xiao Duozi returned to the shop, and shopkeeper Yu asked directly, "Did you get any reward?"

Xiao Duozi respectfully took out the copper coin, "Yes! Ms. Gu gave me a penny!"

Shopkeeper Yu curled his lips, "How stingy! I'm ashamed to give out even a penny. Forget it, forget it, keep it for yourself!"

If it was a dime, shopkeeper Yu would confiscate it.

But if he took a penny, it would be too mean, alas, it would be embarrassing.

He is open for business, so his reputation can't be too bad!

Disaster: ...

It seems to understand somewhat.

"Hiss! This Gu Qingcheng is so smart and perceptive that it's shocking."

"I hope she won't fall below the bottom line again..."

The more intelligent a person is, if he does evil, his lethality is enormous.

Huoshui is a good "tong" with three views and a bottom line. He doesn't want to see Gu Qingcheng really become a villain!
……

After sending Xiao Duozi away, Gu Qingcheng did not continue to sigh.

She untied the bedding and spread it on the bed.

The bedding was thick and soft to the touch.

"It's cotton in here!"

Cotton was a crop that did not exist in Gu Qingcheng's time.

The quilt she covered was filled with silk floss, which was made of silk.

Silk floss is also very warm, but it is too expensive for ordinary people to afford.

The "silk floss" they use is made of some shredded silk or even grass wadding.

Its thermal insulation effect is greatly reduced.

"This cotton is pretty good!"

At least in this time and space, ordinary people can afford it.

"Cotton was originally produced in Gaochang. In your era, it would take one to two hundred years before it was discovered."

Disaster water jumped out of popular science again.

Gu Qingcheng silently remembered the place name "Gaochang" in her heart.

After laying out the bedding and tidying up the room, it was already evening.

At noon, Gu Qingcheng and two big soldiers drove around the city in a rickshaw.

I just bought a few steamed buns on the side of the road and fooled around a bit.

After wandering around the university hall for a long time in the afternoon, renting a house, shopping, etc., Gu Qingcheng was tired and hungry.

Li Yaozong's stomach had already rebelled.

However, in just half a month, the little guy has experienced one accident after another.

He was no longer that spoiled young master.

He learned to read people's faces and learn to be patient.

Gu Qingcheng was still hungry, and when she heard the duet of cooing, she realized that it was time for dinner again.

"Yao Zong, you're hungry! What do you want to eat? Mom——"

"I'll make it for you" was still on the lips, but Gu Qingcheng swallowed it back.

Uh, I was only focused on buying bedding, but forgot to buy pots and pans, grain, meat and eggs, seasonings, etc.

Moreover, even if he bought these things, Gu Qingcheng would not do them.

She is a noble daughter of an aristocratic family. Even if she "cooks by herself", there is still a cook who washes and cuts the ingredients, and a fire girl who burns the stove, and then she only takes care of the last step——

Either boil, steam, or bake!

In the last world, she learned how to cook vegetables.

Back in reality, she didn't do it herself, but stood aside and instructed the cooks to work.

Lighting a fire, cooking...she just can't do it.

Otherwise, let’s go to a restaurant.

After she settles down, she will hire a mother-in-law who can cook and work.

Gu Qingcheng thought secretly.

Bang!
Bang bang!

Just when Gu Qingcheng was about to take Li Yaozong out, there was a knock on the door.

Gu Qingcheng's heart skipped a beat: There is a single house, orphans and widowed mothers, there won't be any gangsters coming to find fault, right?

She cautiously tightened Li Yaozong's hand and cautiously came to the door.

"Which one?"

"Oh, it's me!"

Aunt Zhu?
Gu Qingcheng came to unlock the door and opened half of the door, just in time to see Mrs. Zhu holding a tray with a plate of steaming dumplings.

"I just saw that you only bought bedding, not pots and pans. It just so happened that my family made dumplings today, so I sent you some."

"Eat it while it's hot! My dumplings, although they are made with vegetarian fillings, are made with rich and strong flour. They are delicious!"

Aunt Zhu was smiling all over her face, and that kind of enthusiasm rushed to her face.

Gu Qingcheng looked at Aunt Zhu's smiling face, then at the steaming plate of dumplings, her heart was slightly touched again.

This market is really full of fireworks.
