MTL - The Full-level Boss is In the Female Respect-Chapter 278 you can't afford it
Chapter 278 You can't afford it
"I don't know if there are many people on the street today? Is it hot? Are the lanterns beautiful?"
Looking at the anticipation on Ning Su's face, Gu Chao felt pity.
This is the first time he has seen lanterns. In the past, the Lantern Festival was celebrated at home, and he could only listen to others talking about the lanterns.
"It must be beautiful and lively." Han Yu was also in high spirits, and gave an affirmative answer to Ning Su's question.
Celebrating the Lantern Festival at the border, it is not as exquisite and gorgeous as in Beijing and China, but there are still many people and it is very lively.
In the past, he would go to see it with his sisters every year, and the excitement on the street made him linger even more.
Later, when he came to Beijing, he also went there once. Although the scene at the border was different, it was still very lively. It also made him feel that he couldn’t see through his eyes, and wished he could grow a few more pairs of eyes.
Although the county is not as good as Jingzhong, it is very lively when you think about it, and each has its own characteristics.
"Uh-huh."
Ning Su nodded without knowing anything, so excited that she forgot the melon seeds in her hand.
The two of you asked and answered each sentence, and the time passed quickly.
Gu Chao sat on the side and closed his eyes to rest, because she was not needed at all, and she couldn't intervene.
Gu Chao didn't mention the fact that the Gu family was coming to the county to celebrate the Lantern Festival with County Magistrate Huang, and he didn't want to bother.
Originally, the whole family was quite relaxed when they went shopping and looked at the lights. If the magistrate Huang came, everyone would definitely feel restrained.
Moreover, County Magistrate Huang will definitely invite them to live at home, which will make them even more uncomfortable.
Besides, this is still at the end of the year, and County Magistrate Huang must be busy, so there is no need to bother.
Sure enough, it was almost as expected. When we arrived in the county, it was almost noon, and the Gu family's carriage went directly to the largest restaurant in the city to stay. Naturally, lunch is also settled in the restaurant.
For the Gu family, as long as the meal is not eaten at home, no matter how delicious others think it is, in their opinion, it is just a casual meal.
So, they brought their own ingredients and just let the kitchen staff do it.
Fortunately, they served the rice in a private room, otherwise, many diners would not be able to eat.
In fact, this is the case. On the way to serve the food, some diners also asked.
The shopkeeper personally delivered the dishes to the private room, and asked by the way, "Gu Daochang, I have a question. I don't know where you bought the ingredients that Gu Daochang brought?"
Her place is a restaurant, a place to eat. Apart from the cook's cooking skills, the most important thing is the ingredients.
The cook is still the same cook, and the types of dishes are still the usual ones, but the stir-fried dishes are different. It must be the problem of the ingredients.
Just now in the back kitchen, the shopkeeper also tasted it, this taste is really amazing.
It is no exaggeration to say that she has been a restaurant manager all her life, and this is the best dish she has ever eaten.
That's why she had the cheek to ask for advice.
Widow Gu was very proud of the things in his house. When the shopkeeper came to ask, he preempted Gu Chao from speaking.
"These are all grown at home, you can't buy them outside, and I don't sell them at home.
Besides, you can’t afford it in this small restaurant. "
This time, Widow Gu really didn't talk nonsense, although it was a bit exaggerated, but it was about the same.
They are doing business here, and they have all kinds of customers, but there are still not many people in this small county who are willing to spend a lot of money for such a bite.
Therefore, the cost is expensive and not worthwhile.
For Gu Chao, it doesn't make much sense to use the spirit gathering array to do this.
From the very beginning, Gu Chao had no such plan, it was a waste of time and effort, and he still earned very little.
The shopkeeper heard that the Gu family planted it themselves, so it seemed a little bit dead, but according to the master, it seemed that the cost was high.
Also, such a good ingredient must take a lot of effort.
Gu Chao spoke in a more tactful manner, which was also a step down for the shopkeeper.
"These ingredients are indeed at home, and I don't plan to sell them outside. Please forgive me from the shopkeeper."
Finally, the shopkeeper delivered two desserts before leaving with a sigh.
Although the taste is not very good, but people's behavior is still very good, just for this, I will come again next time.
After eating and drinking tea to digest food, a group of people went shopping in the street.
Widow Gu, who visited the streets of the capital city, went to the streets of this county town, but he still hasn’t come back to it.
The arc of his neck and his contemptuous eyes are completely invisible. Just a year ago, he was a middle-aged husband who even the townsmen thought was very luxurious and generous.
Thinking about that time, I didn’t even go to the town a few times throughout the year, just because I didn’t have money in hand.
However, other people are shopping very vigorously, and they can see twice everywhere.
Finally, when there was something exciting to watch, Widow Gu became interested.
Spring Breeze and Rain hurriedly followed, but they couldn't let their master be hit.
Because of the blood ganoderma, Gu Chao is a celebrity in the county magistrate, and many people have met her.
Along the way, many people greeted her, and some even wanted to give her something, but Gu Chao didn't accept any of them.
Nonsense, they are here to play, if they take one, there will definitely be more people to give it to them, and when they bring so many things, how can they play.
Walking around the stalls and shops all the way, from the beginning to the end, Gu Chao always said one word, as much money as you should give.
Otherwise, don’t buy it.
Widow Gu scoffed at her behavior like this, hum, he doesn't know how to take advantage of it!
However, his family is not short of such small things now, and the grand appearance of his daughter is still very feminine.
Aunt Gu's family is also pleased to see her niece and daughter like this. This is their good daughter of the Gu family, and she is a face to the Gu family.
Look around and go wherever there is excitement.
The happiest thing is that it belongs to the children. Today’s parents are so kind, they will buy whatever they want.
Looking at the satisfied faces of the children, the parents are also happy.
Although their family is not a big family, but after a year of hard work, it is the day of the Lantern Festival to meet the small demands of their children, and they can still do it.
I didn’t look for a place to eat dinner. I can eat enough street snacks, but I can’t eat too much, otherwise I won’t be able to eat it.
Sure enough, as soon as it got dark, all the lights on the street were lit. There were all kinds of lights, which made people dazzled.
There are also various couplets, poems, guessing puzzles, etc., and many people play it.
Regardless of whether you can get it right or guess right, you are actively participating, that is, to have fun during the festival.
Gu Chao is not very interested in these things, and her eyes have never left these people in her family, and she is afraid that if there are too many people, they will be separated.
Suddenly, someone called out to catch the thief, "Catch the thief, that little thief stole my purse, stop, catch the thief."
"Stop that thief quickly, don't let her run away."
This kind of festival, there are many people on the street, so it is naturally a good time for some people to go to work.
It was two men who yelled to catch the thief. They could tell that they were young men just by their voices. They chased after the thief while shouting.
Because the two of them were not running fast, and there were too many people coming and going, they could only watch as the thief ran further and further away.
To be honest, with so many people on the street, there were voices of yelling and talking and laughing, the voices of the two were basically covered, and not many people heard them.
Even if someone wanted to help, they could only watch the thief escape because they moved too slowly.
Gu Chaoren is tall, and just looking up, he can see that the person in the crowd who keeps turning his head is the thief with the purse.
Even if this little thief has accomplices, Gu Chao is not afraid of getting troubled.
So, he weighed the sugar-fried chestnuts that had just come out of the pot in his hand, and threw it at the thief.
"Oh, that **** plotted against grandma?"
The fried chestnuts hit the little thief's leg straight, and the little thief immediately fell to the ground in pain, and he couldn't get up again.
Her yell alarmed many people around her. Coupled with the sound of catching the thief behind her, some people had already reacted and called to other people around her to take down the little thief.
When the two young men finally caught up, the thief was already controlled by the enthusiastic crowd.
"Huhu, you little thief is so courageous, you dare to steal things in the street, hand over the purse quickly."
As soon as I heard this young man talk, I knew that he was not deeply involved in the world. This is what he does. Why can't he steal things in the street?
But now everyone's attention is on the money bag that the young master said, and they all accuse the little thief and ask her to hand over the money bag.
"What evidence do you have to say that I stole your purse? In public, you just talk about slandering good people. Come up with evidence."
This is really the case. Without evidence, you can't talk nonsense.
Someone in the crowd spoke, "Yes, you two young masters, you said she stole your purse, you should show evidence."
"It doesn't look like this man looks like a thief. You can't wrong a good man."
"Yes, yes, what evidence do you two young masters have?"
"These two young masters don't look like they would wrong people for no reason. After all, they lost their money bags."
"Since she is said to be a thief, let's see if he has the purses of these two young masters on him."
The young man who spoke just now kept the other one behind him, and the two are obviously a pair of master and servant.
Look at their clothes, especially the one behind the guard, who is covered in silk and satin, it doesn't look like ordinary people.
It's just, why is there only such a small servant with me, not to mention two more.
There are many people on the street today, so I am not afraid of accidents.
There was excitement to watch, and members of the Gu family also gathered around. Widow Gu rushed to the front with his own strength, occupying the best position to watch.
"My wife, do you think that man is a thief?"
Two people followed Gu Chao, one on the left and the other on the right. There were too many people and it was a bit crowded.
Hearing Han Yu's question, Gu Chao nodded, "The money bag is not on her."
"Ah, so is she a thief?"
The two clearly saw the wife leader nodding, so why isn't the money bag on that person?
Is this, or is it not?
At this time, someone said to the two young masters who lost their money bags.
"You two young masters, how about this, let's see if the purse is on her, if it is there, it must be a thief.
If you are not here, then you have wronged someone. "
This man spoke reasonably, and everyone nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, just take a look, and you'll know."
"It must be her, you see."
The man's tone was very firm. It was this man who bumped into him just now, and then took away his purse.
"When I called to catch the thief just now, she still ran away. If she didn't steal it, then why would she run away?"
While talking, he glared at the thief angrily.
The thief explained to himself with a sad face, "You two young masters, you really wronged me. I ran away because of an emergency at home. Am I rushing back?
It’s really not that I stole your purse, if you want to search it, search it quickly, don’t delay me going back. "
As soon as she said this, she had such an expression again, and everyone hesitated for a while, thinking that maybe she really didn't take it.
As a result, there is really nothing after this search.
"Look, I'll just say it's not me, let me go quickly, I'm still in a hurry to go home!"
No money bag was found, and it was hard to trap her anymore, so I had to let go.
The two young masters looked in disbelief. It was obviously her, so why didn't they?
But now the fact is that there is no such thing. Could it be that they really wronged someone?
I can't find the money bag yet!
Since it wasn't him, of course he couldn't delay other people's affairs, and he had to apologize.
"I'm sorry, miss, we didn't mean to wrong you."
"You can't do this next time, you met someone who is easy to talk to like me, if you meet someone else, it can't be so simple.
All right, all right, I still have things to do, I'm leaving. "
The onlookers are also saying the same thing as you, especially the one who just said that he will be searched, the voice is the loudest.
There were even a few people in the crowd who uttered accusations, "Wronging people casually, look carefully next time."
"Yes, if you meet someone with a bad temper, how can you just let it go, and ruin his reputation, and you still have to pay for it."
These words made the two young gentlemen embarrassed, their faces were also very embarrassed, and the explanation in a low voice was also very thin.
"We didn't deliberately wrong people. Maybe there were too many people and we didn't see clearly, so we recognized the wrong people."
The man had already turned around to leave, and those who had spoken just now also turned around.
Seeing this, Ning Su and Han Yu were even more confused.
"My wife, is that man a thief?"
Received another nod from the wife-owner, and the two said again, "Then she's leaving! What should I do?"
Gu Chao weighed the remaining chestnuts in his hand again, and winked at the two, "The ones who spoke just now are her accomplices."
As he said that, Gu Chao threw the chestnut out again, hitting those people's legs in knots.
They also fell to the ground in pain just like the person in front.
The sudden situation made it difficult for the people who hadn't dispersed yet to understand. What's going on?
