Chapter 101 He Can’t Wait Any Longer
The shopkeeper smiled and with a glance, the shop assistant stood behind Gu Lan and Li Mumu. "Miss, you can't say that. We run this shop with integrity. We have paid the compensation we owed. If you continue to make trouble, I will send you to the authorities."
Li Mumu was so scared that she started crying and quickly pulled Gu Lan's hand.
The shopkeeper thought that the Gu Lan sisters were intimidated by his men, but he didn't know that Li Mumu didn't let Gu Lan take action.
Otherwise, none of them would be worthy of Gu Lan's beating.
At this moment, the young man who had been there before stepped forward and acted as a peacemaker. "Miss, why not quit while you're ahead? Even if you go to the government office, there's nothing you can do, right?"
Gu Lan looked at her little cousin with tears on her cheeks, and she calmed down. She realized that the way to deal with bad guys is not only to beat them up, but also to outsmart them.
"Okay, I'll remember you. Let's go."
Gu Lan picked up the banknote and left indignantly with her little cousin. No one knew that she started laughing as soon as she left the house.
Isn’t it great to make this money?
Yuanbao Pawnshop certainly didn't just cheat them. This kind of thing must be something they are familiar with. I wonder how much harm those powerless and courageous ordinary people have suffered.
Thinking of this, Gu Lan felt that there was nothing to feel guilty about spending the money.
However, after she went out, she still took out some and gave it to the beggars on the roadside, who thanked her profusely.
Gu Lan was also in a good mood. The money she got back from Yuanbao Pawn Shop was much more than what she got from pawning the bracelet.
But she was still a little worried, "Twilight, he won't really be able to sell that collar, will he?"
Li Mumu smiled proudly, "Sell? He can't sell it!"
Gu Lan looked at her curiously, but Li Mumu blinked with a wicked smile.
Yuanbao Pawn Shop.
The young man came up to the shopkeeper in a fawning manner and said, "Shopkeeper, I'm afraid those two girls won't dare to come again."
"Come? As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Besides, she has also accepted our money. Even if she takes it to the government, we are not without reason, right?"
The shopkeeper sneered a few times and said, "A distinguished guest will come to see this night-shining pearl later. Go and prepare it."
Before, he was afraid that the two girls would be difficult to deal with. If there really was something wrong, he would return the things to them and avoid trouble.
Unexpectedly, they were frightened, so he naturally found a way to sell the things and make back the losses he had suffered before.
However, when the distinguished guest arrived, he took out the box like he was presenting a treasure and said, "Boss Wu, I'm not exaggerating, but this is the first time I've seen such a fine night-shining pearl in my life. The green light is so bright, it's really beautiful."
He held his hand as light and passed it to the man. The man's eyes were blinded and he didn't see the green light he was talking about.
"No? Impossible, I clearly..."
The shopkeeper took a closer look and found that the bead was indeed without light. "This... this is impossible."
He rubbed the beads hard, trying to polish them, but accidentally changed the color of the gold collar.
Boss Wu's mouth twitched twice. "Is this the treasure you were talking about? Do you think I, Wu, have never seen the world? You use such fake goods to fool me. Fine, I won't come to your Yuanbao Pawn Shop again."
After saying that, he turned away.
The shopkeeper was stunned. "How could this happen? My night pearl!"
What is a night pearl? It is just the most ordinary plastic bead with a luminous layer on it. However, the luminous layer has not absorbed light for a long time, so it will not glow when you take it out.
In addition, just in case the fluorescent layer absorbed the light source and glowed again, Li Mumu used chemicals to destroy the upper layer when she handed it to him.
It's impossible to shine.
Selling is even more impossible.
The shopkeeper was so angry that he threw the things on the ground and stomped on them hard a few times.
Although Li Mumu didn't tell Gu Lan anything about the fluorescent layer and chemical agents, she gave her a rough idea in a way that she could understand.
Gu Lan raised the corner of his lips. "You are really good, but...he knows he has been cheated. He won't come to us for money, right?"
"Come on, I was afraid he wouldn't look for it." Li Mumu smiled proudly, and bought some food and daily necessities for her brothers. After thinking about it, she also bought some for Xie Xun.
While the boss was packing the things, Li Mumu explained, "Cousin, the receipt clearly shows the Concord Gold Necklace and the Night Pearl. He gave me fake ones, and I don't recognize them."
Gu Lan suddenly realized that he had taken out the thing Mumu had given him, but it was fake. It could be said that he had swapped it with another one.
Besides, he runs a pawnshop, and that's his business. If word gets out that he made a mistake and mistook a fish eye for a pearl, wouldn't he be laughed at by people in the same business?
Thinking of this, Gu Lan couldn't help but give his little cousin a thumbs up. "Mumu, I'm impressed. I really am impressed by you. Where did you learn all this at such a young age?"
Li Mumu smiled and said, "In books, there are golden houses, beautiful women, and ways to deal with evil people."
Gu Lan knew that this little girl could even teach herself medical skills, so there was nothing she couldn't understand.
That night, the Gu family borrowed the kitchen of the inn and gathered around a small stove to eat hot pot. Since there was no copper pot, they used a small pot. Anyway, there were many people in the Gu family, and a small pot would not be enough.
"Twilight, where did you read this? I've never heard of it before."
Li Mumu took out a book and said, "I bought it today when I bought books for my brothers. I flipped through it and saw that it said it was delicious, so I wanted to try it."
Gu Lan testified that this book was indeed in a pile of old books. Li Mumu bought many of them at once. The books were old, but the knowledge and principles in them were not old.
Song Qiang took it in her hand and was amazed. "This... I've never heard of the recipes for the dishes above. But this hot pot is so delicious, I'm sure the others are not bad either. I'll have to try it next time."
Li Mumu saw that Song Qiang was overjoyed and didn't notice anything wrong. She felt very happy and thought that it was worth it for her to stay up late in the space copying recipes these nights.
The recipes in the space are all in simplified Chinese. If I show them directly to Song Qiang, not only will she not understand them, but it will also be too easy to be exposed.
So she copied down all her favorite dishes and some that were not available here, waiting for this opportunity to give them to Song Qiang.
"This pot is warm and delicious. Not bad. I can eat it often if I have the chance in the future." Gu Mingyu said.
"Brother, I've looked through this book and there are at least a hundred kinds of dishes in it. They are all novel and I don't know who made them. I'll try to cook them all when I have time."
"This...it's hard work, sister-in-law."
"It's not hard at all. If I get the chance in the future, maybe I can open a small restaurant with this."
Suddenly, a loud shout interrupted Song Qiang's reverie, "Okay, you guys are really in the same group!"
