Chapter 20

Chapter 1

Liu Lan said she could still eat one more bowl, but she actually ate two more bowls.

After eating three bowls of vegetable noodles, Liu Lan was convinced by Huang Fugui's cooking skills.

"Burp, it's amazing. This noodle is just so... burp, it's amazing. Wow, I can play the game and eat noodles. If I were a customer, I would come to play this game every day just for this bowl of noodles." After three bowls of vegetable noodles and three hot spring eggs, Liu Lan collapsed at the front desk like a frost-bitten vegetable, not wanting to move his brain or limbs.

"Don't even think about it. This is an exclusive edition, priced at 138. How many people are willing to eat a bowl of vegetable noodles for 138?" Jiang Qi poured cold water on Liu Lan.

"What 138? How much does a bowl of noodles cost? Liu girl, if you like your uncle Huang, I will cook for you every day. My son and grandson all like the noodles I make." Huang Fugui said enthusiastically.

"Wow, Uncle Huang, I love you so much. Fortunately, I had the foresight to find this store to work part-time, woooo." Liu Lan was deeply moved and immediately got up to wash the dishes.

Seeing this, Old John also stood up and started mopping the floor. Jiang Qi saw that everyone was moving and felt that it was not good for him as a boss to just eat and not work. He just stood up and was about to go upstairs to help Liu Lan wash the dishes when Huang Fugui sat down next to Jiang Qi holding the host manual.

"Boss, I understand most of the games in this book, but I don't understand how to play Werewolf and Texas Hold'em."

Of course Jiang Qi knew how to play Werewolf, but Texas Hold'em involved his blind spot in knowledge. His knowledge of playing cards was still limited to 24 points and Landlords. After taking the host manual and studying it carefully for five minutes, Jiang Qi found that he didn't understand it either.

Jiang Qi could only look at Old John, who seemed to know how to play Texas Hold'em: "Old John, do you know how to play Texas Hold'em?"

Old John held the mop and looked at Jiang Qi quietly, his eyes full of surprise, how dare you ask an amnesiac old man such a question.

Jiang Qi: ...

"It's okay, we can find a tutorial online!"

As he spoke, Jiang Qi took out his mobile phone and searched for tutorials on how to play Texas Hold'em.

Huang Fugui was quick to learn and understood a lot after watching the video for a few minutes. Seeing that it was getting late and worried that the second-hand mobile phone store would close later, Jiang Qi told Old John to go home later, and he took Huang Fugui to the night market to buy the necessary daily necessities.

Huang Fugui likes to join in the fun, the more people there are, the happier he is. The night market that Jiang Qi took him to was the same one that he took Old John to a few days ago. It mainly sells clothes, and most of the people who shop there are students and retired old men and women who have nothing to do.

Unlike Old John who always keeps silent and doesn't express his opinions, Huang Fugui has his own views on clothing. Jiang Qi lets Huang Fugui choose by himself and buy whatever he likes. As long as it's not too outrageous, Jiang Qi will pay for it.

Then Huang Fugui began to bargain with the stall owners at the night market.

He started by chopping the price in half, and if that didn't work, he kept talking. Huang Fugui, without knowing how much the clothes should theoretically sell for, was as skilled as the old men and women who went to the night market every day. He bargained all the way and finally got all kinds of clothes at super low prices, which made Jiang Qi dumbfounded.

It also made Jiang Qi realize that the last time he brought Old John here to buy clothes, he had bought all of them at high prices.

In the end, Huang Fugui and Jiang Qi left the night market carrying large and small bags and went to a second-hand mobile phone store. Jiang Qi also wanted to buy another cheap mobile phone for Huang Fugui.

"Uncle Huang, how can you be so sure that Boss 60 will sell that pair of sneakers?" Jiang Qi was a little curious.

Huang Fugui did not bargain for every item at half price. He was even more excessive on some of the items. For example, for the sneakers just now, the boss offered 160, but he asked for 40 and finally negotiated the price down to 60.

"Look at the material." Huang Fugui said, "I looked at shoes from several shoe stalls, and his soles are the thinnest and the worst. The soles of other stalls are soft, while his are hard. You can tell they are inferior products as soon as you touch them. I guess the soles will rot after a few months of wearing. Then I will have to buy materials to repair the soles. Hey, how come I don't remember how to repair the soles..."

"When buying things, the most important thing is to compare prices from three different stores and don't be afraid to bargain. I saw those ladies asking for half the price and the stall owners didn't change their expressions or chase them away, so I knew that the prices of these things were inflated. When buying things, you have to negotiate, and as long as the stall owner is willing to talk to you, there will be hope. For example..." Huang Fugui began to teach Jiang Qi his experience in bargaining.

After arriving at the second-hand mobile phone store, Huang Fugui once again demonstrated his bargaining skills to Jiang Qi, and he reduced the price of an old and broken smartphone from three years ago, which was priced at 800, to 300.

After the transaction was completed, Jiang Qi took Huang Fugui to apply for a phone card, briefly taught him how to use a smartphone, bought him some daily necessities, ordered a set of the same pure cotton three-piece bedding set as Old John online, and sent a message to Cao Yongjun to tell him that he had helped find a second tenant.

Cao Yongjun fully trusted Jiang Qi and said that as long as Jiang Qi felt there was no problem, it would be fine. After transferring the 800 yuan deposit to Cao Yongjun, the balance in Jiang Qi's bank card dropped to three digits.

On the way home, Jiang Qi had already started thinking about the possibility of taking Huang Fugui and Old John to his aunt's and uncle's houses for dinner.

Because the bedding sets had not been delivered yet, Jiang Qi let Huang Fugui stay in the guest room at home first as usual.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening when I finished all this.

Poor and tired Jiang Qi forced himself to cheer up and taught Huang Fugui how to use the various facilities in the kitchen and bathroom. He told him to cook dumplings for himself when he woke up tomorrow morning, and if he really didn't know how to use them, he could wait for Old John to come down and help cook.

After giving all these instructions, Jiang Qi simply washed up and fell asleep.

When Jiang Qi woke up the next day, Huang Fugui had already learned how to watch TV using Internet TV.

Jiang Qi took a quick glance and saw that it was an ancient idol drama. The male and female protagonists were arguing. It was obviously a drama of bickering lovers. The plot was very old-fashioned, but Huang Fugui was watching it with great interest and had watched it until the fifth episode.

There were dumplings covered with a lid on the table. The dumplings were already cold. It was obvious that Huang Fugui cooked them for Jiang Qi when he cooked dumplings in the morning. He didn't expect that they would become Jiang Qi's lunch.

"Boss, you should get up. There are dumplings on the table. You can eat them after they are heated up. Brother John came over this morning. I wanted to invite him to watch TV with me, but he didn't seem to like it and went back to read." Huang Fugui said with a smile, "This TV series is really funny. A little girl changed into men's clothes and tied her hair casually and went out, and she was dressed as a man. No one noticed it yet. The people in this show are really interesting."

Jiang Qi understood that Huang Fugui was treating the idol drama as a comedy.

Jiang Qi quietly heated up the dumplings, took the plate and sat next to Huang Fugui to watch with him. Huang Fugui was even happier to see Jiang Qi was willing to watch with him, and he even complained while watching.

"The wontons here are really expensive. A bowl of wontons costs a small piece of silver, and the store owner doesn't even weigh it. What if it's fake silver?"

"Iron and weapons are controlled items. The court here is really lenient. Any blacksmith can buy a bow and crossbow without having to show proof."

"This dish is very well cooked. The flowers are in full bloom, and the shadow of water lilies will appear when pouring the soup. It is similar to the unique family skills of Huang Yuchu!"

Jiang Qi: ...

He almost forgot that Huang Fugui came from a fantasy ancient time in a parallel universe.

At this moment, Liu Lan sent Jiang Qi a WeChat message, telling Jiang Qi that six junior high school students who had just finished their final exams had made an appointment through the customer service number for a reasoning book class at 6:30 p.m., and the deposit had been received.

Liu Lan has always been in charge of the customer service number. Normal script-killing shops have appointment groups, and send appointment messages to the group every day to facilitate customers to place orders. When Jiang Qi was researching script-killing shops in the city, he joined a few appointment groups to find out the situation.

But Xinghe Script Club is not an abnormal script-killing store.

Because the business was so bad, there were basically no individual customers in the store. The ones who came were students and young people who lived nearby and saw the store every day when they passed by. They would occasionally meet up on weekends. Therefore, Jiang Bing and Liu Lan felt that there was no need to create a group, otherwise it would be embarrassing to have 95 small accounts in a group of 100 people.

If there really is a random individual customer, Liu Lan will usually choose to ask the customer privately, since there are only a few real customers in the customer service number anyway.

Speaking of making an appointment, Jiang Qi remembered that Huang Fugui was going to make his first appointment in his life tonight.

Although Huang Fugui was originally written by me playing myself, he is, after all, a fantasy ancient card character who has just arrived in modern society for one day, so Jiang Qi was still a little worried.

"By the way, Lao Huang, you are going to open the book tonight. How are your preparations going? Are you confident?"

"No problem!" Huang Fugui said confidently, "I studied all the rules yesterday. In addition to Texas Hold'em, I also learned a lot of poker playing methods on the Internet. I also learned the new playing methods of Leaf Cards. Not only that, I also searched what young people like to play nowadays and tried a lot of games. It's quite interesting."

As he spoke, Huang Fugui showed Jiang Qi the results of his study last night.

Jiang Qi didn't see anything else but saw that the phone he bought yesterday, which was full of basic applications, suddenly had 6 more video apps, mahjong, poker, chess, go, auto chess, Honor of Kings and 3 pay-to-win card games.

156n

Can you play it in one night?

Can Huang Fugui carry this broken cell phone?

"Uncle Huang, what time did you go to bed last night?" Jiang Qi asked sincerely.

"It's five o'clock this morning. What's wrong?"

Jiang Qi: ...

As long as you are happy.

Huang Fugui seemed to be in good spirits. Considering that Old John also stayed up late a few days ago but was still energetic, Jiang Qi speculated that the card man would not be tired and fall asleep due to staying up late.

Oh, how enviable.
