The two walked out of the pawn shop, and Fang Ju said with some dissatisfaction: "Brother Gu, I already gave you forty taels of silver, why don't you sell it?"
Gu Shengchao said calmly: "Looking at their eyes, this bracelet is worth a lot of money. Let's do this. Now let's go back and change into clothes. We can definitely sell it for a big price according to the method I told you."
On their way back, Gu Shengchao arranged the things that needed to be paid attention to next time. When they returned to their residence, they asked Fang Ju to put on Yang Qianhui's most expensive dress and put on all her valuable jewelry. Then they went out again to find a hotel that looked like A powerful pawnshop, Fang Ju walked in front with her head held high, and Gu Shengchao followed diligently behind.
"Shopkeeper, how much does this bracelet cost?" Fang Ju calmly handed over a small, delicate wooden box.
The man inside carefully opened the wooden box, held up the jade bracelet and looked at it carefully: "Is this your dowry?" The man was also expressionless, but his eyes were sharp.
Fang Ju calmed down and said, "If it weren't for my family's downfall, I wouldn't be willing to part with this thing passed down from my ancestors."
After the two people inside whispered, one left and the other said: "Wait a moment, you two, we are blind, please come and evaluate again." Not long after, an elder came and was helped to the back of the counter. There was a thick cotton cushion on the table, so I picked up the jade bracelet and looked at it. After a long time, I secretly extended two fingers to my colleague and left. The man inside said calmly: "Two hundred taels of silver, what does this lady think?"
Fang Ju suppressed the ecstasy in her heart and pretended to think. Gu Shengchao stepped forward and said, "Miss, why don't you take it for granted? This is my ancestral treasure. If you can't, use the jewelry on your body as an emergency first. This bracelet will last for a while." Make plans later."
"Okay, I'll stop it now and talk about it when I get back." Fang Ju reluctantly took the bracelet back.
The man inside was not verbose. He packed up the jade bracelet and handed it out, saying: "I come here to pawn things because I am in a hurry for money. My shop knows the goods and may be able to give you more. Small shops outside will never be able to afford this price. I advise you." Let’s discuss it again.”
Gu Shengchao and Fang Ju did not expect that they would not be given a chance to counter-offer at all. The method they practiced at home could not be used, so they had to agree. Gu Shengchao came out with the money bag. Fang Ju was so happy that she jumped up and down on the way back. Jump. Gu Shengchao warned: "Be careful, don't lose your lady's valuable jewelry." Fang Ju quickly checked and confirmed that everyone was walking back steadily and did not dare to jump again.
After Yang Qianhui came back, Fang Ju told the truth. Yang Qianhui disagreed at first. Fang Ju said: "It has been almost four months since we came to the capital. I wonder if Miss has noticed that we are much happier than we are in the palace. I often wish that we could always How beautiful it would be to stay in the capital! But we don’t have that much money, so we have to go back in the end. Are you willing to go back to that depressing palace?"
Yang Qianhui shook her head: "I also feel comfortable here."
Fang Ju was happy: "That's not good. I have discussed it with Brother Gu. He will take out all the rewards, plus mine and the money from selling the bracelet. It will be more than enough for us to open a noodle shop. If we can make money, we will be able to do it for a long time." Isn’t it best to stay here?”
"Can you make it happen?" Yang Qianhui doubted.
Gu Shengchao encouraged: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as you take the first step, the rest will be easy. If you don't give it a try, you will never know how much potential you have. Just like you will never see it until you step out of the palace." The prosperity and excitement of the capital city.”
Yang Qianhui had no choice but to agree. In the next few days, Gu Shengchao and Fang Ju took the time to find a suitable store. Huangtian paid off and finally found a store for rent not far from Yunqi Palace. The two immediately rented it and tidied up the Yang family. The noodle shop was opened.
Although the noodle shop mainly specializes in pasta, it also sells several of Fang Ju's specialty dishes, such as braised pork with three delicacies, minced pork, scrambled eggs with green onion, etc., which are convenient for drinkers to enjoy with their drinks. They were two people at first, Fang Ju was busy in the kitchen, and Gu Shengchao was in front collecting money and keeping accounts, serving as a waiter serving tea and water. I thought the business was not very good at first, but it suddenly became popular after being quiet for a few days. Gu Shengchao specifically asked a few people, and they all said that they had heard that their authentic noodles and stir-fry dishes had a unique taste, so they came to try it out. From then on, things got out of control, and there was an endless stream of diners, so he had no choice but to hire a helper to relieve Fang Ju's burden.
Yang Qianhui goes straight to the noodle shop every day after leaving Yunqi Palace, doing whatever she can, and waits for the last group of diners to leave. Then she returns to her residence and Yang Qianhui explains what she has learned that day, and they learn and practice together. Although it is hard work, it is also fun. in.
After one month, the profits were actually considerable, far exceeding their original expectations. The three of them were overjoyed. If this continued, there would be no problem in establishing a foothold in the capital.
During this period, Lao Shui Linglong, the dean of Yunqi Palace who taught Yang Qianhui kung fu, also came to the noodle shop once. She is about the same age as Yang Qianhui, but she is more mature and stable than Yang Qianhui. Her facial features are not outstanding when viewed individually. I don’t know why they are combined together. Gives people a refreshing feeling. Although not as gentle as Liu Ximei, not as majestic as Wan Ruo, and not as delicate as Ding Ying, the agility in Shui Linglong's dignity is even more unforgettable.
Shui Linglong ate a plate of stir-fry and praised Fang Ju's craftsmanship. She praised their deep friendship between master and servant, especially Fang Ju and Gu Shengchao who were willing to sacrifice for Yang Qianhui's studies. Yang Qianhui gave up a good life and endured hardships to come to the capital. She admires all the martial arts. She looked at Gu Shengchao and said with concern: "Can you understand the "Explanation of Formulas"? If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask Qianhui to ask me. I like people who are eager to learn to answer their questions."
Of course Gu Shengchao was happy and said politely: "Thank you Elder Shui for your concern. Although there are some difficulties, I can still understand them. If necessary, I will disturb Elder Shui."
Shui Linglong wanted to pay for the meal, but everyone refused, saying that it was too late to honor the master, so there was no reason to ask for money. In the end, Shui Linglong couldn't resist everyone and left. Gu Shengchao looked at her back with emotion. Another reason he came here was for Jiang Wan and the others, who were deceived by their uncle and became homeless. How to build a good relationship with Shui Linglong was also a top priority, so that they could borrow money from them. He tried his best to suppress Bai Pei'an and tried every means to give Jiang Wan and the others justice.
Yang Qianhui was inspired and practiced even more diligently. Sometimes in the middle of the night, when she remembered a move, she would wake up Gu Shengchao to practice with her, looking for techniques to deal with the enemy and make up for her own shortcomings.
The business of the noodle shop is gradually getting on the right track, and there are more and more repeat customers. He has become very familiar with Gu Sheng, and sometimes makes jokes and makes jokes. The restaurant is full of joy while talking and laughing.
The noodle shop was open until 3:00 that day, and there were still two tables with regular customers. Yang Qianhui and Fang Ju wanted to go back and practice quickly, so they told the diners that they had to go back early because they had something to do, and asked if there were any dishes that needed to be prepared. One of the tables said that they would mix it up later. A large cold dish, and another table ordered a braised pork and three delicacies and three bowls of noodles. After Fang Ju prepared them and brought them out, she and Yang Qianhui went back together. Gu Shengchao and the assistant chef stayed behind to take care of them. Their residence is not far from here. After hard training, the two of them have long been different from what they were back then. They can completely protect themselves when encountering ordinary gangsters.
Two tables of diners were drinking wine. One table was so drunk that they almost paid and left. The other table drank so much that they drank all the wine in the noodle shop by changing glasses. Everyone wanted to drink without having enough fun. Ancient times. Sheng Chao had no choice but to borrow a jar from the restaurant next door. The noodle shop didn't prepare much wine every day, and he had gone to the restaurant to borrow wine many times. Gu Shengchao walked into the restaurant and found that among the diners at the table by the window was Yunqigong coach Bai Pei'an, but since he was drinking and didn't know him, he wouldn't notice.
Before Gu Shengchao approached the counter and opened his mouth, the waiter inside smiled and said, "Business is good today, but the wine is not enough."
"You can earn a little pocket money from a small business, but your restaurant can't make as much money every day." Gu Shengchao joked with a smile.
The waiter brought a jar of wine and handed it to Gu Shengchao. He held the jar and walked out. Suddenly, he heard Bai Pei'an say in a low voice: "Shui Yatou is going to cut off our financial path. Let her tonight..." Gu Shengchao glanced out of the corner of his eye. Glancing over, I saw Bai Pei'an making a chopping motion with his palm. Bai Pei'an's voice was like the roar of a mosquito. People around him in the noisy restaurant would not hear it at all. However, the ancient sage had extraordinary internal strength and excellent hearing. He could hear clearly. He couldn't hear it clearly. He calmly carried the wine jar and went out.
Back at the noodle shop, Gu Shengchao sat at the door and stared in the direction of the restaurant. He didn't know if what Bai Peian was talking about was related to Shui Linglong, but he had to be on guard. After a while, he saw Bai Pei'an and his gang leaving together. He told the chef to pay the final bill and close the door, and followed quietly.
Gu Shengchao relied on his outstanding perception ability. He didn't need to stare, he only needed to sense the presence of the opponent's aura in the dark, and he could follow behind without being noticed. Gu Shengchao followed them for nearly an hour before they arrived at an abandoned dock outside the city. The dock was not big, with only a few small boats on the river. Next to the dock was a dilapidated warehouse. The dock was abruptly located by the river, and there was no cover nearby. Gu Shengchao had no choice but to hide in the grass in the distance and could not get close.
In the silent night, the other party's voice was clearly audible, and Gu Shengchao was able to sense the exact location of each of them.
Gu Shengchao also wondered where his superhuman perception ability came from. He initially thought that as long as his internal strength was strong, his perception would be strong. After getting married to Wanruo, he found that Wanruo's internal strength was slightly inferior to his, but his perceptual ability was much worse, and it was far from the factor of internal strength. He wondered if it was because Lu Chuan taught him the Five Soul Formation. The focus of the Five Soul Formation is to use internal force to construct a powerful formation. For an individual, the layout of the formation requires mobilizing all senses to participate. Perhaps, this is The reason for this!
The people on the dock dispersed and stayed together in twos and threes. Some were next to the warehouse, some on the trestle, and some by the river. They all found their respective positions and sat still, as if waiting for something.
The Ancient Sage was very surprised. He originally thought they would hide and launch a surprise attack, but it was the first time he saw them waiting so blatantly.
After a long wait, it was already midnight before I knew it. In the quiet night, several people in the distance couldn't stand it anymore and yawned one after another. Gu Shengchao was infected, and a wave of tiredness came over him, making him feel a little sleepy, and he also wanted to yawn.
Suddenly, there was the sound of horse hooves in the distance, heading towards the pier. Gu Shengchao pricked up his ears and saw that there were two horses in total.
