Zhou Sese was led by the hotel owner to a tree not far from the hotel.
There is a stone table and four stone benches under the tree.
On the stone table was a chessboard engraved with a clear boundary between Chu and Han.
at this time.
The owner of the restaurant, the man who had bought food from Zhou Sese in the morning, was staring at the chessboard on the stone table, playing chess with himself.
See Zhou Sese coming over.
The boss held the elephant chess piece in his hand and said with a smile, "Comrade, we meet again."
Zhou Sese smiled slightly.
The boss held out his hand.
Pointing politely to the seat opposite, he said, "Don't be nervous. I just want to have a few words with you, my lady. Mom, go make some tea."
The proprietress sighed and left immediately.
Zhou Sese sat down on the stone bench.
The boss nodded at the Chu River and Han River. "Can you play chess? Next game?"
Zhou Sese shook her head and said embarrassedly, "I can't play chess."
The boss suddenly realized.
Then he said in a relaxed tone, "It doesn't matter if you don't know how to play. Very few of you women know how to play chess, almost none of you. Look at this chessboard. Your side and mine are identical, from the pawns to the elephants, horses, and generals. The only difference is that the words on my chess pieces are painted green, while the words on yours are painted red."
Zhou Sese nodded, "I see."
The boss leaned forward slightly and asked, "Besides this, what else do you see?"
Zhou Sese pretended to be stupid, "I don't know anything else."
The boss held out his hand.
The finger just touched the boundary between Chu and Han.
He raised his eyelids and turned them upwards, making his eyes look gloomy and even showing the whites of his eyes.
His fingers moved little by little, as if to attract all of Zhou Sese's attention.
He said word by word, "This is the boundary between Chu and Han. After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, Chu and Han fought a four-year war for territory. Finally, the two sides reached a peace agreement and divided the world in half with the Honggou as the boundary.
The area west of the Honggou is Han, and the area east of the Honggou is Chu. In other words, today, the boundary between Chu and Han is drawn here. I will cross my single-plank bridge on my side, and you will take your Yangguan Road on your side. We will not interfere with each other.
The proprietress brought over tea.
Zhou Sese took the opportunity to take a cup.
He lowered his eyes and blew away the hot steam rising from the teacup, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.
After saying that.
The boss also picked up the water, taking a sip while saying, "Sister, I see you're a smart person, so there's no need to be too explicit if you have something to say. Sister, these days, life is not easy for anyone. If you let me say it, I'd cut off your source of income, and I wouldn't have the heart to do it."
have to!
This is where we really get to the point.
Zhou Sese nodded. "Boss, if you have something to say, just say it. I don't have much culture. I don't understand what you are talking about, such as history, Qin and Han dynasties."
The boss chuckled and said, "Okay, sister, you are very wise but appear foolish. I will tell you straight away."
He continued, "Sis, it's really inconvenient for you, a woman, to show up in public. I have an idea for you.
"Brother, I bought you two kinds of food today. They taste pretty good. If you teach me how to make them, I'll give you one thousand yuan. My condition is that you can no longer come to the mining area to sell food. How about that?"
Zhou Sese smiled but said nothing.
A few minutes later, the boss got a little anxious and said, "Sister, what do you mean? Is this okay? At least give me a word."
Zhou Sese put down the water cup and said with a face full of shame, "I'm sorry, boss, this is my family's ancestral secret recipe, and it is passed down to girls, not boys. If I sell all the secret recipes passed down by my ancestors for the sake of immediate interests, I will become a sinner of the family."
Hearing this.
The boss's mouth twitched violently.
Slowly sat up.
Two hands pressed on the stone table.
With a condescending attitude, he said, "Sister, things are different now. Even if you don't tell me, I have run a restaurant for twenty years, and I can figure out your secret recipe.
It's just the difference between one or two days and one or two months. By then, you won't even get a hundred dollars, let alone a thousand dollars.
The salary of a salesperson in a department store is only about 20 yuan a month, about 200 yuan a year, and it takes five years to earn 1,000 yuan. Girl, he who knows the times is a hero."
The smile on Zhou Sese's face remained unchanged. "Boss, you run a big restaurant, and I'm just a street vendor. We have different customer positioning. People who come to your restaurant to eat look down on me, and people who come to me to buy food are reluctant to enter the restaurant."
Finished.
Zhou Sese picked up all the red-painted chess pieces and brought them to her side. "You see, we still don't interfere with each other. The boundaries are clear, and no one has crossed the line."
The boss's eyes gradually darkened, and the curve of his lips completely disappeared. "So you are rejecting me?"
Zhou Sese nodded lightly, "I can't sell the things left by my ancestors even if I starve to death."
The boss laughed twice in a sinister way. "You'd rather starve to death than sell it. I didn't expect the girl to be such a person of integrity. Well, I won't force her. Let's just... wait and see."
The last sentence is a naked threat.
Zhou Sese stood up and said, "Boss, if you have nothing else to do, I'll go back first."
With a snap.
The boss slapped the stone table.
The chess pieces vibrate.
He stood up suddenly and waved his hand without looking back, "Mother of the child, get out!"
