descendants of nuwa

Chapter 74
Why bother?

Qingcheng thinks of Elder Wangchen, Aunt Wangyan, and Luoxu...they have forever young faces, but...full hair!Behind that, how many heart-piercing efforts were made in exchange for it...

"Since you know you can't fall in love with human beings, why do you want to fall in love?" Qingcheng said with a gloomy expression, bowing her head and speaking in a cold voice.

Dugu Mochen probably heard it, but a dark light flashed in his eyes but he didn't say anything.

The gradually condensed atmosphere in the room was not gradually broken until the shopkeeper appeared. The maid behind the shopkeeper came into the room with plates of delicious food and put them on the table.The shopkeeper looked at Qingcheng nervously, and asked: "Miss Qingcheng, I don't know what advice I can get from the younger one?"

Qingcheng put on a clever and cute look, and asked the shopkeeper, "What's your name, shopkeeper?"

The shopkeeper wiped off his sweat, and said, "Miss Hui Qingcheng, the slave's surname is Ning and his name is Ning Yan!"

Qingcheng took a piece of fish fillet and chewed it in his mouth, then nodded and glanced at Dugu Mochen who was eating slowly.Qingcheng pursed her lips, looked at the shopkeeper Ning Yu like a little fox and asked, "Ning Yu? Are you from the Ning family?"

The shopkeeper, Ning Yan, replied: "Ah...exactly! The villain has been working in Ning's family since he was a child!"

There was a tease in Qingcheng's eyes, as if she suddenly realized "Oh...".Dugu Mochen looked at Qingcheng mischievously teasing the shopkeeper Ning Yan with amused expression, probably he didn't notice the pampering that flashed across his eyes.

"Yo, so you are the old man of King Ning's mansion who came to the shopkeeper!" Qingcheng seemed to turn around a few turns in every sentence, and Ning Yan was completely confused!Moreover, Ning Yan thought about how he became an old man just after forty... What is this young lady going to do!

Ning Yan felt like crying, and hurriedly said to Qingcheng: "Miss Qingcheng has won the award, but this servant is only lucky enough to be blessed by God to be able to work as an errand in Prince Ning's Mansion!"

Qingcheng asked Dugu Mochen: "Are you lucky to be an errand in Prince Ning's Mansion? It can be said that God is blessed!"

With a smile on the corner of Dugu Mochen's mouth, he looked at Ning Yi with cold sweat on his face and said, "The treasurer of Liuxiang Pavilion, ten taels of gold every month!"

Qingcheng opened her eyes wide and exclaimed: "Wow! Not everyone can be the shopkeeper!" The twelve taels of gold is 3 RMB, which is equivalent to the salary of a fourth- and fifth-rank official in the court!Ning Yusheng is in the trenches!

Ning Yan wiped off his sweat again, not knowing what the eldest lady was going to do, and quickly said: "Where is it, it can't compare with the welfare of Mowangfu! Miss Qingcheng has won the prize!"

Qingcheng turned his head with light in his eyes and looked at Dugu Mochen again and asked, "Is there a restaurant in Prince Mo's Mansion?"

Dugu Mochen took a sip of tea and nodded.Qingcheng said again: "Then why didn't you say earlier, where is it?"

Dugu Mochen said, "There is a family on Guihuang Street."

Qingcheng pursed her lips and thought, isn't Guihuang Street the most prosperous street in Yuecheng!It's like a new world in my big Beijing!In the land where every inch of land is very expensive, it is not a problem to make money every day!The point is, Dugu Mochen said that there is a family!That means more than one!
Qingcheng asked again: "What's the name of the restaurant?"

Dugu Mochen put down the teacup and said, "Wanlixiang!"

"Hey, it sounds very powerful! How much does your shopkeeper pay per month?" Qingcheng was very concerned about this issue.

Dugu Mochen looked at Qingcheng amusedly, and raised his forehead: "50 taels of gold."

I'll go, this is the real rich man!The monthly salary of the mere shopkeeper is high, so he, the big boss, pays it back every month!What's more, this is only one of the stores, other stores... No wonder the emperor looked at Dugu Mochen as if he was a thorn in his side, and he didn't even have a cheat!

"Then why don't we go to Wanlixianglai Liuxiang Pavilion?" Qingcheng was puzzled.

Dugu Mochen looked at the rain outside the window and said, "It's relatively close here!"

Qingcheng let out an 'oh', lowered her head and thought that she had gone astray.Looking up at the shopkeeper's gradually pale face, she decided not to tease him anymore.So he said, "Don't the shopkeeper think ordering is troublesome? The cuisines are all hung on the wall, and you have to walk over to see the order!"

The shopkeeper, Ning Yan, took a look at the menu on the wall. Liuxiang Pavilion's cuisine was exceptionally large and covered the entire wall.Although it doesn't match the elegant and delicate atmosphere in the room, I have worked hard to make the menu very exquisite.

Ning Yan looked at Qingcheng with some puzzlement, and it took Qingcheng a long time to say as if he had seen a scumbag: "You wrote all the cuisines in a booklet, and classified the wine, rice porridge, soup, noodles, pastries, and various cuisines into categories! Isn’t it very convenient to order things like this! It doesn’t cost much to print a dozen copies, it’s much cheaper than this piece of wood! And look at the lobby downstairs, so many people gather around to order things! It’s obviously very elegant The restaurant looks like a market, and it’s still rainy and there’s no one there! If the weather is nice, then wouldn’t you guys burn your butts on fire!”

After Qingcheng crackled and said, Ning Yan looked at herself like an idol, Qingcheng shook her goosebumps all her life and asked, "Do you understand?"

Ning Yu nodded sharply, and said, "Miss Qingcheng is really smart, and the little ones will be handled immediately!"

Qingcheng waved his hands impatiently, and said: "Go down!" Ning Yan respectfully saluted and walked down, Qingcheng thought to himself that this is too easy to clean up!It's just such a move that I worship...

Dugu Mochen's eyes lit up when he heard Qingcheng's words, but he was much calmer compared to Ning Yan.Dugu Mochen asked Qingcheng: "How did you think of it?"

Qingcheng took a bite of eggplant and looked at Dugu Mochen, thinking that this is how people order food in modern times!Some stores use tablets to order, how did she know that ancient people's brains are so hard to turn around!

"Well... When I ordered some dishes just now, I couldn't see some menus and had to look up, just a sudden flash of inspiration!" Qingcheng said while picking up dishes.

Dugu Mochen nodded, and the two of them bowed their heads and ate gracefully without saying a word, until Yin'er walked in and said to Qingcheng and Dugu Mochen: "My lord, miss! I found out that Qi Yu of the Qi family has behaved strangely these days, and Miss Six After Mo Yuying came back from the palace, she met Qi Yu again!"
