Looking at the payments one after another, even though he was not the owner of the Wangsheng Hall, he was amazed at Master Zhongli's extravagance.
Frankly speaking, Master Zhongli has no concept of money whether he is eating or doing things.
Of course, this does not mean that Master Zhongli is particularly fond of those high-priced luxury goods. What he recognizes is actually the value of the items themselves.
In other words, if the item is truly worth this Mora, Master Zhongli will not hesitate to give more.
As for bargaining...she had never seen such behavior in Master Zhongli.
"Alas...if this continues, my salary will be deducted."
Although Master Zhongli and she were not short of money, the money in the Wangsheng Hall was not private after all. Such a large expenditure would definitely have to be compensated by deducting wages.
If Master Zhongli's lectures had not been very popular and had not been extremely well-known in the Wangsheng Hall, she really would not have known how to report the expenses.
After covering the account book and sealing it in the drawer, Yun Shang sat on a chair and waited quietly for any customers to come.
Generally speaking, unless there are some serious epidemics, the business of an ordinary Wangsheng Hall is probably one order every few weeks, and occasionally there will be consecutive orders.
However, there are no rules to follow regarding birth, aging, sickness and death. We can only try our best to take some time off without slacking off.
For example, Walnut, who was sitting not far from her, reading an ancient book with great interest.
This is very counterintuitive.
In the past, Hu Tao would most likely come around, whether chatting with her about gossip or telling her about the latest happenings on the streets, she would always find something fun to kill time.
But since he came back, Hu Tao has been reading the book all the time, and he only said hello twice.
"……Well."
Is it really that beautiful?
Not good. As a bookworm, her curiosity was agitated, but she was on duty right now, so it was no longer a question of whether it was good or bad to just go over and ask Hu Tao to borrow a book.
Instead, the employee asked the boss to give the book to him when he was relaxing and reading, and let the boss run the store.
It doesn’t mean that you will be fired tomorrow, but there is a high probability that you will be included in the layoff list, right?
She didn't want to be treated specially just because of her friendship with Walnut.
Wow.
The sound of turning pages is very pleasant. When your fingertips rub against the title page, you can feel the delicate touch and smell the faint scent of books.
Yun Chang's cheeks flushed slightly, her eyes were fixed on the book, and her body twisted uneasily.
Then, when Walnut was attracted, he straightened his body in a serious manner, as if he was simply adjusting his sitting posture.
Hu Tao didn't ask, just chuckled and continued to read.
Sure enough, I care so much.
What is the subject of that book? What story does it tell?
When Yunchang was once again lost in speculation about the book, Hutao suddenly burst into laughter, and the girl's laughter like a silver bell spread throughout the hall.
When the other staff members realized that the source of the voice came from the young hall master, they did not pay much attention to it.
After all, she is Kurumi. Everyone is used to her doing things.
Yun Shang became even more anxious. What on earth could be so funny?
Is it a book that focuses on humor and light-heartedness?
This type of story usually appears on Inazuma's side, while the mainstream on Liyue's side is still serious and formal martial arts biographies.
Although she didn't hate this kind of books, she had some aesthetic fatigue after reading too many of them. What's more, the scale of descriptions in books nowadays was much larger than those in Yunchang's era, and content that was not suitable for children could occasionally be seen.
Of course, since it was a national publication, no one dared to describe it in detail. Most of the descriptions were metaphors of external objects, such as "Men and women sat on the same table, shoes intertwined, silk jackets unbuttoned, faint smell of Xiangze, all night long..." This kind of fragments appeared relatively rarely.
Thanks to this, Yun Chang would occasionally let out a sudden cry while reading, her face turning red, which would attract Hu Tao's attention. If her face was snatched away by mistake, it would probably be considered a black mark on her for the rest of her life.
Therefore, she usually doesn't read books during work, let alone martial arts books with sexual descriptions.
If she doesn't read this kind of books, she won't be interested in reading other obscure ancient books in Liyue, so her target can only shift to Inazuma's light novels.
But what to say about this...
At present, Inazuma’s light novels are still very retro, with the old-fashioned story of traveling to a different world, the old-fashioned story of obtaining a golden finger, and the old-fashioned story of building a crystal palace.
Hu Tao would definitely not read this kind of article, so what could make her interested in it?
Under Yunchang's gaze, Hu Tao seemed to notice something and quietly moved the book down, revealing her beautiful pair of plum blossom eyes.
"Hey, is Yunshang peeking at me?"
"No. I was just wondering what book Kurumi was reading—"
The girl just answered in a serious manner.
"Take a guess? Just start with a rough estimate."
"…Is it Inazuma's light novel?"
"No."
"That would be our martial arts biography?"
Walnut shook his head and wiggled his fingers gently.
“No.”
"What is that? Is Kurumi reading Xumi's ancient book?"
The books there are actually pretty good, with a strong exotic fantasy style, but they are more inclined towards myths and legends.
"That's half right. The book is indeed from Xumi, but it's just a popular science book on fungi."
Walnut said with a smile.
"It records a lot of consequences and symptoms that may occur after eating certain mushrooms. Then I changed my mind and thought, if our Wangshengtang can open a branch there, wouldn't we no longer have to worry about business difficulties?"
"...Grandpa Hu will not agree to your proposal."
Yun Shang said helplessly.
“No matter how fresh the mushrooms are, they will just run away when they see the funeral team waiting outside, right?”
"That's not entirely true. The medical skills of our Wangsheng Hall are not bad. If the patient is cured, we will treat him. If not, we can just carry him away on the spot. We guarantee that he will die in a dignified manner!
And if we think about it carefully, we don’t need to be too ambitious, we can just start the business in Liyue first, there are many people who eat mushrooms here——"
"Before that, we will be chased away by the patient's family, right?"
After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, this kind of thing is really unlucky.
"It's okay, it's okay. Yun Shang knows the secretary of Yue Haiting. If anyone dares to chase us away, we will tell them her name!"
"—!"
Yunchang's crisis radar suddenly started beeping.
I originally thought that it was Hu Tao's usual brilliant idea, but I didn't expect it to be a map of Yan State. Now the truth is revealed, how should I explain it?
Saying that Ganyu is just a sister and Hu Tao is the true love?
Chapter 28: Thank You~
"Huh? What's wrong? Why aren't you talking?"
Hu Tao still had that smiling face, but in fact, after spending these days together, the two of them were mostly aware of each other's habits, including the meaning of some micro-expressions.
For example, Hutao kept his eyes down while eating and took bites intermittently, which meant he must have wanted to eat boiled fish with shrimp dumplings.
And before playing a prank, he would wink at her and laugh mischievously.
And now...there is no doubt that it is a transition from ordinary anger to the next stage. Walnut is very angry.
"What are you talking about?"
"Then you have to ask yourself. Yun Shang has at least three things to say to me."
"I shouldn't have left without saying goodbye this morning and went straight to Sister Ganyu's house."
"That's not it."
Hu Tao curled her lips. Although she did care about it, she was not so careless.
"Is it Grandpa Hu and I who complained about the creative idea Hu Tao came up with earlier?"
"Okay, I was wondering why Grandpa reacted so quickly that time, it turns out it was - ahem! No, that's not it."
Hu Tao shook her head repeatedly, but that look made Yun Shang feel more pressured.
"Wow... So compared to Sister Ganyu, I like Hu Tao a little more?"
Although these words have a bit of the implication of being two-timing without knowing it, she has not done anything inappropriate. If she tells the truth, maybe there is still hope?
Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing to be kicked out by Walnut...
Seeing her expression of "I know I was wrong", Hu Tao stood up suddenly, took two steps towards her, and looked at Yun Shang, who was huddled behind the front desk and looked a little delicate and weak. All kinds of ways to play were in his mind.
Therefore, Hu Tao imitated the behavior of a domineering young man, frivolously rolled up the book, and then placed it on the girl's delicate chin, forcing her to raise her head slightly and look up at him.
"You, you have been learning from Zhongli for so long, but you still seem so naive and easy to deceive. If someone says that I have been kidnapped and asks you to bring money to redeem me, and only allows you to go and not tell others, then you will be thrown in with the money, right?"
However, having said that, anyone who saw Hu Tao like this would think that Yun Shang was being flirted with, rather than being educated.
But fortunately, the two of them didn't notice anything wrong with this strange interaction, and Yun Chang even thought about the situation seriously before answering.
"...No way. I can still tell who is good and who is bad. In this case, I will definitely tell Master Zhongli first, and then find Lawyer Yanfei to sentence him to ten or eight years in prison."
"Oh? You really don't care about it?"
"In private, but definitely not in public. Besides, I believe that Walnut can fool this kind of gangster."
Hu Tao felt inexplicably ashamed of the girl's trust in her. Originally, she just thought that she hadn't played with Yun Shang much recently.
What if their relationship becomes distant in the future, or even if Yun Shang has her own goals and wants to leave Wangsheng Hall? After all, I only coaxed Yun Shang here by tricking her, and I can't keep her by my side forever, right?
After thinking about it over and over again, I feel conflicted and pretentious. What if I ask this and get treated as a joke?
But if you don't ask, Yunchang will be kidnapped sooner or later if this continues.
She had actually met Ganyu, the half-immortal from Yuehaiting, from a distance.
Judging from her feelings at that time, it can be confirmed that Ganyu's heart is not in this mortal world, or at work, she is just using busyness to cover up her empty state of mind.
After coming into contact with Yunshang, Ganyu's eyes showed a certain centripetal force. When she occasionally came over to pick up Yunshang, her straight eyes and her concentration on only Yunshang were extraordinary no matter how you looked at it.
Although she didn't think the other party had any bad intentions, she was worried that her childhood sweetheart and future employee, or even the hall master's wife, might have been abducted.
Then she might as well change her black hat in the Wangsheng Hall into a green hat from now on!
Of course, such a disrespectful thought only appeared in her mind for a moment before Kurumi put it out of her mind. She has always been very respectful of the rules of her family.
But no matter what, she had to find a way to test Yun Shang's attitude. Otherwise, if she was the only one thinking about this kind of thing, wouldn't she be just like an idiot?
So, this happened.
And judging from the results, her Yunshang has not been bewitched by the bad woman.
"Hehe, you barely made it this time. Thank you~"
Unable to suppress the joy in her heart, Hu Tao's mouth curled up brightly. She quickly changed from her original frivolous look to hugging Yun Shang's shoulders, as if she wanted to pull her out.
Just at this moment, Zhongli returned to the hall and saw the two of them being very affectionate. He was not surprised and just asked.
"Young Master, are you planning to go out with Yun Chang?"
"Oh! Isn't this Zhongli? You came just in time. It's almost time for us to have dinner. Let's go to Wanmin Hall! Do you want to join us?"
Hu Tao is in a very happy mood now, and speaks in a particularly heroic manner.
It was a pity that Yun Shang was not as strong as her, and half of her hand was held, so she couldn't break free at all. She could only look at Zhongli with a pitiful look.
However, Zhongli, who had a clear understanding of the closeness of their relationship, took the initiative to consider where to go for the dinner.
"Wanmin Hall... If I remember correctly, it seems that Xiangling is on duty today?"
"That's right. Xiangling seems to have come up with a lot of new dishes recently, and asked me to come over to help her try them out! Of course, I will keep an eye on her and not let her feed Yunchang anything careless."
"Don't treat me like a pig that eats whatever you give me..."
Although I used to compare myself to cute pigs, now that I'm grown up, I still have to have some shame.
