The oath of rebirth not to be a concubine

Chapter 59
Li Jiu sighed, and said, "Since that day, our gambling shop has started making dirty things."

"What unclean thing?" I took a sip of the tea soup and said in a low voice, "Talk to me in detail."

Li Jiu got his life and said, "After Boss Zhou's accident that day, the business of the gambling house was not affected. The business of the day was more than usual, and there was even an increase of nearly a thousand taels. Who knows, the news came the next day It is said that Mr. Li from the East Street just won the silver, went home and drank wine, got up at night to drink water, staggered, fell into the well, caught it in the morning, and was already out of breath!"

He glanced at me and continued, "Butcher Gu from North Street usually comes to gamble twice, and his luck is always good. He won some money the first day, and when he got up to slaughter the pig the next morning, the big pig went down three times. Even if they didn't die, they just broke free from the shelf. Butcher Gu was frightened, his hand shook, and the butcher's knife fell, literally cutting off three toes!
The old man Li who sells the cakes is in good health. When we gambled money that day, one tael of silver turned five times, and he went back happily. He walked and talked well during the day, but talked nonsense in a daze the next day. , is still lying at home.

There is also Sun Wenpo at the end of the alley, she always comes here.She has delivered babies for nearly 20 years, and never had anything wrong. She went to deliver babies that day, and then... unexpectedly... hey! "After Li Jiu said it, he could not continue with a bitter face.

But even if he didn't say it, I can guess what happened next.

Although these incidents did not happen in the casino, they all happened after Saturday's accident.The so-called people's words are terrible, if they are followed by someone with a heart, it will be difficult to do business well.

Sure enough, Li Jiu sighed, and said, "Grandfather, after all these things happened, the neighbors in the neighborhood said that our gambling shop caused unclean things, and there were evil spirits at work, and whoever came was in trouble.

In the past there were some who did not believe in evil, but many who won money either fell out of the house or had their money stolen.Later, there were fewer and fewer people, and in the last few days, a total of only a dozen taels of silver were received.If it had been like this, the gambling shop might not be able to continue to operate. If I knew this, someone came to ask the gambling shop if it wanted an offer, so Li Jiu should discuss it with Engong. "

Shop...

I thought about it and asked him, "When does someone want to buy a store?"

Li Jiudao: "On the day Boss Zhou's accident happened, the boss of Juhai Building across the street saw that we had an accident, so he came over and asked if he wanted to sell the store. The business was surprisingly good that day, so Li Jiu ignored him. It's good. When something like this happens, even if you want to ask for it, maybe no one will ask for it..."

I came to the shop on the day of the accident, and strange things started happening in the casino the next day...

Juhai Building...the shop...

This is interesting.

I smiled slightly, took a sip of warm tea, and asked, "Li Jiu, how much money do we still have in our gambling account?"

Li Jiu quickly brought the account book, turned it over a few times, and said, "Back to benefactor, before the accident, there were a few big guests in the private room upstairs, and there was a lot of traffic, plus the small operation, before subtracting There are still 11 taels and 5000 taels in the account for the wages of the workers these days."

After finishing speaking, he ran out, came over with a box from nowhere, put it in front of me, and said, "Grandfather, there is too much money in cash, Li Jiu has already exchanged the silver taels for bank notes, and there are some future money to be exchanged." Yes, it's all in this box."

I nodded, reached out to open the box, took a few pieces of silver for him, then kicked all the silver bills into my arms, got up and said, "Let the brothers spread the news now, saying that Juhailou is going to be a porridge shed at the opening time today." , give out porridge to people for free, and let everyone go to get the porridge. You can find two smarter people to come over."

"Yes, benefactor." Li Jiu responded and went to do it immediately.After a while, I changed my clothes, led two strong men to stand in front of me, bowed and said, "Grandfather, I have ordered everything. Within half an hour, everyone will know the news."

"Okay, you guys come with me, I want to meet him." I nodded, pulled out the folding fan in my sleeve and shook it lightly twice, then strode downstairs to the Jujuhai Building across the street.

This Juhailou is the largest restaurant in this area. The building is four stories high. It is located in a downtown street. There are two little lions welcoming customers at the entrance, and several signboards hang high above. .

On the left side it says, "Travel across the five lakes, cross the four seas, and gather visitors from all over the world."

On the right side it says "eat delicacies from mountains, taste seafood, enjoy the delicacy of the world"

A huge plaque was hung between the two couplets, with three big characters written on it: Juhai Tower.

No matter the decoration or the ostentation, this Juhai building can be regarded as outstanding.

I asked Li Jiu to wait for them to wait downstairs, opened the folding fan with a swipe, and walked into the lobby.

Xiao Er hurriedly bowed over, nodded and bowed and said, "Guest officer, please come inside, the new arrival of the abalone and shark's fin in our store is clean and fresh, and the taste is also the best in the West Market. If you eat it once, you will come for the second time. Shall we try it?"

I looked at him pretending to squint, "Did you say it's delicious? I have a very tricky mouth, it's not delicious, but it will ruin the situation!"

Xiaoer immediately laughed and said, "What did the guest officer say? All the customers who come to our restaurant are repeat customers. Everyone praises our dishes. How about it? You will know the details once you try it, guest officer."

"Okay!" I brushed my fan away, put it in my hand, and said, "Just order the most expensive specialty dishes in your shop first, and don't save money for the young master, do you understand?"

"Understood, I understand, the little one understands quite well, please come inside, guest officer, there is a seat inside."

I nodded, followed Xiaoer up to the third floor, chose a place with good ventilation and a good view, and sat down. I just drank a cup of tea to moisten my throat, and then I was ready.

Not to mention, the dishes at Juhailou are really good.Abalone in sauce, emerald Buddha jumping bridge, first-class lobster, top-quality shark's fin, deep-water fish, pipa bird legs, purple ginseng red meat, snow shrimp glazed rolls, the dishes are perfect and delicious, and the lips and teeth are fragrant after tasting.

I have been injured and ill for a long time, and I have been recuperating. I haven’t eaten normally for a long time. This meal, I ate for a very long time and a lot, almost bottoming out.

After eating, I want to serve a pot of Biluochun. After rinsing my mouth, I take a piece of hair from my hair and throw it on the plate.

"Okay, guest officer..." He responded, ran over erratically, tapped the abacus a few times, nodded and said cheerfully, "Guest officer, what you ordered are all the best and most expensive items in this shop. There are thirteen dishes and one soup on our table, a total of one thousand and one taels, the tea is given to you, and the change is also given to you, so you can just give 1000 taels."

I nodded and said, "Well, the taste is good, 1000 taels, it's worth it."

"Thank you, guest officer, for your compliment. Welcome to come again." Xiao Er quickly bowed and saluted with a smile on his face. In his opinion, today, he really met a big customer.

I smiled, and continued, "It tastes good, but I can't give you a grain of this."

Xiao Er was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed again, "Guest officer, I understand, you are a distinguished guest, and you didn't bring any money with you when you went out. It's okay, just tell me about your residence, sign your name, and send it over another day. If you really If you don’t want to give it away, it’s fine to pick it up with the younger one.”

I shook my head, "You misunderstood, what I said can't be paid, it's not credit or pending order, it's because I don't want to pay a penny.""

Xiao Er's face changed immediately, he straightened his waist, and said with a slightly wrong expression, "Guest officer, what do you mean?"

I smiled slightly, pointed at the broken hair at the bottom of the plate, and said, "It's nothing interesting, you can see for yourself."

Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, said "Guest officer, please wait a moment", turned around and went up to the fourth floor with a few steps. After a while, he led a plump man in purple clothes with a round face and a melon skin hat down the stairs. Walked straight to our table.

The man came over with a hehe smile, and then he cupped his hands and said, "Hello, guest officer, I am Li Wanqing, the owner of this Juhai Building. The situation has already been told to me by Xiao Er, the store is short of manpower today, and it is too busy at noon, so I can't take care of it." Zhou, I hope you will forgive me."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the bottom of the dish. His hair was fluttering, and half of it was still exposed, obviously not from the dish.

Then he smiled again and said, "Guest officer, although our shop is big, it is big and small. If you feel that this dish affects your appetite, then this dish is given to you by the shop. Throw away this dish , this whole table, the store is giving you a [-]% discount, what do you think?"

Honestly, that's pretty good.

but……

I smiled slightly, "Boss Li was joking, I said it just now, I won't give you a single cent of this dish, how can you give me another [-]% discount?"

"You!" He seemed to be working hard, put away his smiling face and said, "Guest officer, you look well-dressed and don't look like you have no money. Could it be that you want to eat Bawang's meal in a small shop?"

Of course it's not a king's meal, I'm here to mess things up.

I reached for a plate, moved it to the table, and let it go.

With a sound of "pa...", the porcelain plate fell and exploded into pieces.

Although it was past noon, there were quite a few guests in Juhai Building, and when they heard the noise, they all turned their heads to look.

I smiled slightly, picked up a soup bowl, and threw it away again.

"Crack..." The porcelain bowl shattered, and more people looked over here.Li Wanqing's brows and eyes darkened.

I reached out and picked up another plate, and just about to drop it, Li Wanqing grabbed it.

He frowned, looked me up and down, and finally bowed his hands with a smile, and said, "This young man seems to be a little familiar, why don't you go to the back hall with me, and you and I will make a pot of hot tea. Would you like to catch up on the old days?" After speaking, he took a step back and bent down to make a gesture of invitation.

I smiled at the corner of my mouth, opened the folding fan with a swipe on purpose, fanned it a few times, and then got up and said, "Since Boss Li greets you warmly, if you don't go, you won't be losing face."

"Then I would like to thank you, my lord." Darkness flashed in his eyes, and he got up and led me to the guest room on the fourth floor. He opened his mouth and said, "Looking at the young master's behavior, you can know that the young master is from a great family. It should not be short of a meal in the small shop. I don't know what the young master is doing today?"

I put down the teacup and asked without answering, "Boss Li, this shop has been open for a long time, right?"

Although Li Wanqing didn't know why I asked this question, he still replied, "Li is a local. He started doing business ten years ago, and it has been five years since he owned this store since he was a child."

I nodded, looked around, and said, "Well, five years, the store has been open for a long time. Now, it's time to change the boss."

Li Wanqing's expression changed suddenly, he stood up from the chair abruptly, and said, "Young master, what do you mean!"

I wasn't annoyed either, I just slowly took out a stack of banknotes from my pocket, put them on the table along the corners, and said softly, "It's nothing interesting, I just want to sell your Juhai Tower."

Li Wanqing looked at the banknote and laughed, and said, "Young master, are you kidding me? My Juhailou is located in a busy city, and the storefront and decoration are all top-notch, and the daily income is several thousand for every ten thousand taels." Two, not to mention that it is impossible to exchange, even if it is an exchange, it costs at least a million taels, and the young master's 10,000+ taels may not even be able to buy the decoration."

I nodded and said, "Boss Li is right, but..."

My expression turned cold, "If so, I am adding a life, do you want to redeem it?"
