Chapter 48: Negotiating a deal



Li Shouji came to the street corner according to the address. He didn't know the exact location at first, but he found the stall when he saw the place full of people. Li Shouji got off the horse, tied the horse aside, and then came to the stall with the food box.

After squeezing in for a long time, Li Shouji stood still and saw a pretty young lady selling food. He was a little surprised and cleared his throat and said, "Two bowls, please."

Xiaoguo was busy cooking noodles. She heard someone talking, but only half of the sentence was said. She looked up curiously at the person who came. He had dark skin, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a square face. He was full of righteousness. After seeing him, Xiaoguo lowered her head and said, "You need to wait a moment."

Li Shouji coughed embarrassedly and came back to his senses from her face. The young lady looked even more beautiful when she raised her head. Thinking of what he was thinking, Li Shouji couldn't help but spit on himself. Why did he still judge people by their appearance?

Xiao Guo quickened her movements and prepared bowls of noodles one by one. When the soup in the pot was almost gone, it was Li Shouji's turn. Xiao Guo looked at the running out of ingredients and apologized to the newcomers, "I'm sorry, today's noodles are sold out. You have to get up early the day after tomorrow. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

After everyone left, Li Shouji was ready to leave. He was a little disappointed. Xiaoguo saw him leaving and hurriedly called him, "Don't you want yours anymore?"

Li Shouji stopped in shock, "Didn't you say it was gone?"

Xiao Guo said helplessly, "And the last two bowls for you."

Li Shouji knew what she meant as soon as he heard it, and happily opened the lunch box and handed it to Xiaoguo. Xiaoguo asked him what kind of soup base he wanted. Li Shouji thought about it and still felt that the bone soup he had eaten this morning was delicious, so he asked for two bowls of bone soup.

Xiaoguo was delighted, as there was some bone soup left as the mushroom soup had been sold out. She opened the grate, took out the remaining ingredients, and put them all in the pot. It was just enough for two bowls.

After putting the potato flour into the bowl, I felt that the ingredients were almost the same, but still a little short. Xiaoguo didn't want to be short of the amount, so she gave him two large pieces of bones from the soup base and explained the situation to him.

Li Shouji nodded to show that he understood, and finally accepted the original price of twenty cents, and did not ask for more money because the bones were expensive. Li Shouji took the food box with satisfaction, rode his horse and rushed to the small fishing village.

Xiaoguo carried the empty pot to the car, packed up all the things, and happily hurried home carrying the heavy wallet. Xiaoguo had a happy smile on his face all the way. This time he had more than half more money than last time, so he put it carefully in the bag of his inner clothes. As soon as Xiaoguo walked out of the alley, he heard shouting from behind.

Xiaoguo stopped the donkey cart and turned to look at the person who was coming.

A man in his forties wearing a gray robe pulled Xiaoguo's donkey cart and leaned on it, panting heavily. "Wait a moment, our boss wants to discuss a deal with you."

Xiaoguo looked at the man who breathed three times for every sentence he spoke, and looked in the direction he pointed. Not far behind him, there was a noodle shop with antique decoration but few customers?

Xiaoguo squinted hard to make out the dusty words on the sign: Ruyi Noodle House.

Talking business with her? What business? There were people coming and going on the street, Xiao Guo was not afraid of their tricks. He parked the donkey and followed the waiter inside. A woman in the noodle shop was anxiously circling around. When she saw Xiao Guo come in, she walked towards her happily, "Hello, I am the owner of Ruyi Noodle Shop, Xu Ruyi."

Xiao Guo was a little confused when she saw the woman who couldn't wait to introduce herself. "Hello."

The waiter who had just brought Xiaoguo in brought out two cups of tea from the inner room and coughed to remind Xu Ruyi who was standing there stupidly. Xu Ruyi saw a pat on the head and said in a daze, "Come on, please sit down."

Xiaoguo sat down, looked at the impetuous woman, and did not open his mouth to wait for her to speak.
