Chapter 125 A courageous takeover
"Finally I caught up with you, girl." The auntie ran after her, panting. "Your cooking skills are really good. I've been eating pork trotter rice at your house for a few days, and I even bought some from you for lunch. It's so delicious! I don't even want to cook these days."
"Thank you, Auntie." Zhao Xiaojing smiled shyly and waited for the next step.
"Let me tell you." The aunt turned her head to look at the back of the road. Seeing that the winding road completely blocked her view of the situation at the side door, she turned back and pulled Zhao Xiaojing.
"Those stalls are up to no good! It wasn't just those two people's idea to block your way today. They were whispering to each other before you came. I don't know what they were talking about!" The aunt pulled Zhao Xiaojing and whispered.
"You should be careful yourself, and tell the other girl to be careful too. After all, I was the one who brought you here to set up the stall, and I feel bad seeing you being bullied by them.
I'm moving out in the next two days, so I can't help you much, I'm just giving you a heads up."
"Auntie, thank you, I understand now. Are you moving away because you are going to open a new store?" Zhao Xiaojing remembered that the first time she met the aunt, she was looking for a store and said she was planning to move to a new store.
"Yes, I've almost finished packing. I'll start moving tomorrow and then I'll go over there after I'm done." The aunt nodded. Suddenly, she remembered something and her expression turned gossipy. "By the way, do you remember that unlucky young man who rented a shop that day?"
"I remember, what happened to him?" Zhao Xiaojing thought about it, and recalled the young man who paid a deposit of 500 yuan and started buying a bunch of things, but in the end the store owner refunded his money and kicked him out.
"He finally bought that store! For 178,000!"
"Ah?" Zhao Xiaojing was shocked. "Didn't he get kicked out by that boss?"
"It's nothing! I only found out about it when I met him on the street the day before yesterday while he was renovating his shop. I was curious, so I went over to ask him. He was too embarrassed to tell me at first!" The aunt told Zhao Xiaojing the story vividly.
It turned out that after the young man separated from them that day, he received a call from his wife urging him to send his address. She said that his luggage had been packed and that he could send the remaining things to the store after he settled down, and then buy a ticket and come directly.
The young man originally wanted to delay, but his wife scolded him and said that he was always making excuses and was incompetent. She threatened to divorce him if he didn't do it again and then hung up the phone.
The young man got anxious and made up his mind to go directly to the store that refunded the deposit. He talked with the boss for a long time, then signed a formal contract on the spot, paid the full amount, and booked the store.
Moreover, the transfer price of the store increased by 3,000 in a short period of time. Before he was kicked out, the aunt went into the store and negotiated a minimum price of 175,000.
"Aren't you just rushing to be that thing? That's what you young people call a hero!" the aunt complained.
"The one who takes over?"
"Yes, yes, the one who takes over! He can even turn things around. If it were me, I would scold that boss to death, even to the point where he can't open his store, which would be a good thing!" The aunt said with a regret.
"But he is a courageous person to take over the business. He went back to find the boss and took over the store so decisively. Most people would not do that. Most people would just feel disgusted and would never look back. Although he spent nearly 30,000 yuan more, it did not delay his business. As long as he doesn't feel aggrieved, it's fine." Zhao Xiaojing said with a smile, and the aunt also laughed when she heard it.
The two gossiped for a while longer, and the aunt reminded Zhao Xiaojing again to be careful of them trying to trip her up, and then they went home.
On the way, Zhao Xiaojing couldn't wait to collect the task reward issued by the system after selling the last piece of pork trotter rice.
In addition to 500 experience points, there was another mall lottery this time, and Zhao Xiaojing's mouth curled up wildly.
This is the most cost-effective thing besides the recipe, and what she wants most.
After all, the complete set of Tai Chi that she won in the last lottery was worth 10,000 system coins in the Skill Market. Zhao Xiaojing had never accumulated that much system coins in her entire life, so she definitely couldn't afford it on her own.
However, although the price is expensive, it is worth spending 10,000 system coins to buy it.
She has only just started learning the basics of standing still in Tai Chi. It was not until yesterday that the teacher considered her to have passed the first step and began to teach her each of the thirteen Tai Chi forms.
She practiced each posture in the virtual space for an hour before she mastered the movements correctly.
Even so, she could clearly feel that after so much time practicing basic skills, her physical functions had improved and her mind had become increasingly calm. Su Yuchen could now stand for 15 minutes without her legs shaking or feeling dizzy, and she said she felt much more energetic.
Zhao Xiaojing immediately pulled the stall over to the side and started the system lottery.
smoke!
【Congratulations on obtaining system gold coins x520! 】
This again, Zhao Xiaojing continued clicking without even looking at it.
I drew 520 three times in a row before I finally won another prize.
【Congratulations on getting a sharp kitchen knife! 】
???
Zhao Xiaojing's face was filled with confusion. One system coin required a 100 RMB deposit, and one draw was worth 50,000 RMB, and all it gave was a kitchen knife?
[Host, a good kitchen knife is crucial for a chef. Knife skills are the foundation of a chef's skills. Having a good kitchen knife can be even more powerful~]
After the system explained it this way, Zhao Xiaojing finally understood.
With full of anticipation, I rode all the way to my doorstep and found a place where no one was around, then summoned the kitchen knife and looked at it carefully.
There was nothing special about it from the outside. It looked like an ordinary kitchen knife. Zhao Xiaojing had no choice but to take the knife back and try again.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Su Yuchen, absorbed in holding the guitar and looking at the computer, and he didn't even notice her coming in.
Zhao Xiaojing leaned over to take a look. On the computer, a cool female teacher was holding a guitar and explaining some 1625 routine. As she was talking, she started singing "Spring". Su Yuchen nodded from time to time with a serious look on his face.
Zhao Xiaojing smiled and didn't disturb her. She walked into the kitchen with light steps.
Recently, she has been cooking in the newly rented kitchen. There are very few vegetables in the rental house, and Zhao Xiaojing only found a dozen or so carrots.
Thinking of not making any noise to disturb Su Yuchen, Zhao Xiaojing took the knife in one hand and the carrot in the other, and projected the kitchen directly into the virtual space. Only then did she feel at ease and started to cut the carrot into shreds with the knife.
Only when I actually held the knife to cut vegetables did I feel the magic of this knife. It can be said that it was effortless. From hand to hand, the knife was indescribably smooth in every aspect, as if it was specially tailor-made for Zhao Xiaojing.
In the past, Zhao Xiaojing was able to cut vegetables neatly and quickly, relying on her knife skills. When cutting vegetables that were somewhat hard, such as carrots and lotus roots, she needed to use some strength, and her hands would feel a little stiff after cutting for a long time.
This knife can cut more than a dozen carrots in a row. Not only can you not feel the hardness of the carrots at all, but it is also extremely light and neat, truly achieving seamless cutting.
Zhao Xiaojing exited the virtual space and looked at the kitchen knife with increasing excitement.
