The second sister-in-law Gu and Gu Zhijun sit together, a living scene of Beauty and the Beast.
"Counting the time, we haven't seen each other for more than half a year. The last time we met was when a chain store opened in Shanghai. No, Xiao Mo, shouldn't you be in the examination room?"
Gu Zhijun also slapped his thigh and said in surprise: "You didn't take the college entrance examination?"
Li Mo took a leisurely sip of rice wine, ate a piece of spicy chicken, and said relaxedly: "I was specially recruited by Beijing University and did not take the college entrance examination."
"Being specially recruited by Beijing University?" Second Brother Gu's voice suddenly became louder, attracting frequent glances from the diners next to him.
"Don't be surprised. There is nothing strange about this. Xiao Mo is a very talented person. Three years ago, our restaurant could only be said to be unique. Under his suggestion, we improved the secret recipe and production process of the soup. I also gave the soup such an awesome name, and now the business is booming."
"Yes, my wife is right." Gu Zhijun smiled hurriedly, "Aren't you going to buy some beautiful jewelry for your daughter?"
"Is Jiajia's birthday coming soon?"
"Isn't that right? That girl is careless and wants to be creative when she wants a gift. Otherwise, I'm going to go to the 'Saturday Creative Jewelry Store' not far away to pick out some. The boss is not here. I heard that I fell down while riding an electric bicycle. I injured my arm and went to the hospital for treatment. I’ll probably be in the store in the afternoon. I’ll go to her store later to have a look.”
Li Mo put down his chopsticks and said strangely: "You said she fell again. Did she fall several times in a period of time?"
"It's interesting to talk about this. Let's just treat it as gossip today."
Brother Gu clinked glasses with Li Mo and motioned to his wife to grab a pair of chopsticks and eat some together.
"The female owner of the shop is named Chen. Her parents originally ran some antique business in the old street, but the business was not good. After she took over the shop, she renovated it and focused on making accessories. She also promoted it through various online channels. Internet celebrity shops, the business is booming."
"About a month ago, while I was cooking at the back of the store, my rice cooker leaked electricity and I was electrocuted. Fortunately, I went to the hospital for a checkup and found nothing serious. Within two days, I was rear-ended by a car behind me while I was parking at a red light."
"I had no choice but to send the car for repair, and then I rode an electric bike. The tire got punctured halfway and my legs and arms were broken."
Li Mo was speechless. The boss must have had some bad luck.
Second Sister-in-law Gu said at this time: "That's fine. Later when I went to the bank to deposit money, I didn't know where the tens of thousands of yuan was lost, and I couldn't find it."
"Last Thursday, she encountered something evil again. She didn't know what kind of tendon she suddenly lost in her head. Someone passed by a piece of jewelry in her store, and she found it through the surveillance camera. She rushed out in a hurry, and ended up with a mess. Hit the clear glass door.”
"The glass door was broken and your head was broken?"
"The person was knocked unconscious."
Second Sister-in-law Gu couldn't help but laugh after speaking, "Brother Xiao Mo, do you think people will choke when they drink water when they are unlucky?"
"Probably so."
Li Mo thought she was too unlucky.
"He really choked when he drank water. The water flowed into the bronchus and caused a violent cough. He later went to the hospital and had to drink water for two days before he recovered. I came here early this morning to pick up new products. The car almost stopped at the door, and a stone knocked over He and the car fell to the ground."
Li Mo was a little dumbfounded when he heard this. What kind of evil thing did this man do to bring bad luck to him?
"I heard that she was planning to put the store up for sale. Maybe she thought there was something wrong with the feng shui of the store."
"Xiao Mo, let's eat and drink as a joke. Let's try this new fish head with chopped pepper. It's your favorite."
"Second sister-in-law, I'll go over and take a look this afternoon. It's a rare visit to Jinling to give Jiajia a gift."
"I can't let you spend money."
"A small gift that doesn't cost a few bucks."
The next meal ended in laughter. Tang Tianxia's business was so good that people were already queuing up outside the door.
"Brother Gu, I'll take a walk by myself while you go and do your work."
"Come back for dinner tonight. Second brother has other specialties that I haven't shown yet."
"If the time is convenient in the evening, I will invite a few people to come and try my second brother's craftsmanship."
"your friend?"
"Professor Yu Huilian of Qing Dynasty University and several experts from Jinling Museum. The details have not been determined yet. Second brother is waiting for my news."
"They are all big shots, Xiao Mo. It is my second brother who will treat me to this meal tonight. You are not allowed to argue with me."
"Okay, I will come as Brother Gu arranges. Then I will take the first step, and Brother Gu will wait for my news later."
Li Mo was walking on the old street with his bag on his back. At the end of the street was the main passage into the Confucius Temple.
When he was approaching the end of the road, he saw the Zhouba creative jewelry store that Gu's second sister-in-law had mentioned. At this moment, the owner had returned, and there were several couples visiting there, choosing their favorite styles.
Li Mo accidentally opened the door and walked in. He probably wanted to see what was going on with the unlucky female boss.
"welcome!"
The person at the front desk was a woman in her early thirties, still quite fashionably dressed, but she still had gauze wrapped around her head and a hat covering most of it.
The left hand is also wrapped with gauze. It may have been scratched by a fall in the morning. She didn't even raise her eyelids to Li Mo who came in, and sat there listlessly.
Li Mo planned to walk around and leave. He walked inside. In addition to the three rows of jewelry racks in the middle, there was also a row of glass door display cabinets against the innermost wall.
The glass door has a lock, and there are more than 30 different styles of bracelets on display inside. Li Mo looked around and saw that some of the bracelets were still old items.
It seems that there is a reason for this creative jewelry store to become so popular. The boss put a lot of thought into the process and spent a lot of money.
Li Mo looked around and turned to leave. Brother Gu's daughter was only eleven or twelve years old. These old-fashioned bracelets were not suitable for her to wear, and those creative jewelry seemed not high enough.
When I came to the door, the boss was wiping a bracelet. The bracelet is a modern product, made of silver, with spiral patterns on the body and carvings on the interface. The whole thing looks simple but extraordinary.
Li Mo walked to the door, glanced around, and saw a square wooden box lying next to the boss. The surface of the wooden box was reddish brown and had plum blossom carvings.
It should be used to store small jewelry such as bracelets and rings.
Hey, that small wooden box is a bit interesting. It must be an old object. Over time, a thick layer of patina has formed on the surface.
"Boss, can you take a look at this wooden box?"
"It's not for sale. It's for your own use. You can go and see the others."
The boss refused directly. She opened the wooden box, took out a bracelet and placed it on the counter, then put the polished silver bracelet in.
Li Mo's eyes fell on the bracelet he had just taken out and was immediately attracted. The bracelet was dark gray as a whole, and there was a dark golden material wrapped around the surface, like a small dragon coiling around its body.
"Boss, can I see this bracelet?"
Only then did the boss look up at him and saw that he was a young man with a tender face. He said calmly: "This is not for sale. You can look at other styles."
"I looked around and didn't like it. I just think this bracelet is quite exquisite."
"You are quite discerning, just take a look and handle it with care."
"thank you boss."
Li Mo picked up the bracelet from the counter and felt strange as it was heavy. Touching the body of the bracelet, there are many concave and convex marks on the surface. Upon closer inspection, they seem to be quite regular lines, and some lines look like certain seal characters when combined.
This bracelet should be made of gold and silver. The color on the surface is the result of oxidation, but the weight is wrong. There is probably a ring of shaped foundation inside.
Out of curiosity, he looked intently, his sight suddenly penetrated the bracelet, and suddenly a light red light shone with layers of halo, and the world in front of him was rendered gorgeous and mysterious.
