Chapter 388: How big of an official are you?
Mu Wuchen subconsciously wanted to hide, but Gu Xiaoyou's warm breath had already hit his ears, and he heard her say something in detail.
Mu Wuchen was dazed for a moment and did not hear clearly what Gu Xiaoyou said.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Gu Xiaoyou repeated it again and whispered, "Did you hear clearly?"
"Ahem." Mu Wuchen coughed lightly, stood up straight, and nodded.
"Then shall I say it should be Meng Yu?" Gu Xiaoyou asked in a low voice.
"Let Meng Yu do it." Mu Wuchen winked at Meng Yu.
Meng Yu understood and leaned forward: "Master."
Mu Wuchen gave a few instructions in a low voice and glanced at Gu Xiaoyou: "That's okay."
"Yeah." Gu Xiaoyou smiled, extremely satisfied.
"Leave it to you, let's go." Mu Wuchen said lightly, and then escorted Gu Xiaoyou to leave the private room.
Gu Xiaoyou went downstairs, looked at the blankets on the wall, pointed to a plain blanket and said, "How do you sell this blanket?"
The shopkeeper who was following the two people quickly said: "No charge, no charge. If you like, I will have it delivered to your house."
"Is there any reason not to charge money?" Gu Xiaoyou glanced at the shopkeeper suspiciously: "Isn't this a black shop?"
Showing your courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.
The shopkeeper looked panicked, waved his hand and explained: "Jinhe Pavilion has a history of twenty years, how can it be a black shop?"
"Then why don't you want money for anything?" Gu Xiaoyou's doubts became even greater.
"This..." The shopkeeper glanced at Mu Wuchen hesitantly.
"That's an honest quote." Mu Wuchen said calmly.
"Yes." The shopkeeper handed over his hand and quoted a price.
It would have been better if I had said no earlier.
Gu Xiaoyou took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and said, "Here, we will make an agreement with Meng Yu later and send the wool and blanket together."
"Yes, thank you, miss." The shopkeeper accepted the money and sent the two to the door with great gratitude.
After the two figures sat in the car, the shopkeeper dared to straighten up, turned around and bowed to Meng Yu: "Please let me know clearly."
"The wool just costs four balls of each color, as well as the tools for knitting the wool. How much do they cost?" Meng Yu said stiffly.
"Sir, just leave your address." The shopkeeper said quickly.
"My master ordered me to buy it at the original price." Meng Yu paused after saying, "Is there any discount for buying four groups of the same color?"
After Meng Yu finished speaking, he put his hand to his mouth and coughed lightly. This was the first time he asked if there was any discount, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Seeing Meng Yu's resolute attitude, the shopkeeper thought for a moment and said: "Our shop has never bought wool, so we will give you the cost price. As for the discount, how about charging you three for the fourth round?"
Meng Yu thought about his master's instructions just now, and said: "If it's the cost price, we don't want to give it a discount. How much does it cost to buy it at the cost price?"
The shopkeeper reported a number, Meng Yu took out some silver from his sleeve, put it on the shopkeeper's table, and told him the address of Gu Xiaoyou's mansion: "Send it over tonight."
"Yes." The shopkeeper responded respectfully and sent Meng Yu off.
When Meng Yu drove away in the carriage, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
The shopkeeper was too serious just now, so the waiter dared to ask: "Shopkeeper, who was he just now?"
The shopkeeper frowned and said, "If you don't dare to ask, don't ask. Take out all the best wool in the shop, and match each ball of yarn with a pair of knitting needles."
"Yes, shopkeeper." The waiter didn't dare to ask any more questions and turned around to handle the matter.
The shopkeeper took the silver coins given by Meng Yu and secretly rejoiced. He thought he would lose everything this time, but he still made money.
After putting the money away, the shopkeeper personally took off the blanket Gu Xiaoyou had chosen and wrapped it carefully.
At this time, Gu Xiaoyou was sitting on the carriage, happily raising the curtains and looking at the scenery of the street.
Mu Wuchen sat opposite, playing games on his mobile phone.
Gu Xiaoyou probably recognized the road, and his face hurt from the wind, so he lowered the car curtain: "It's too open to do things with you."
Mu Wuchen responded softly, "Yeah."
Gu Xiaoyou was really bored, so she leaned close to Mu Wuchen and watched him play the game for a while. Then he asked in hindsight: "The shopkeeper was so polite to us just now. It must not be because of me. So how old are you?"
Official?"
Mu Wuchen paused while swiping his phone, and said vaguely: "It's not that big, just an official in the capital."
"Then there must be a professional title, right?" Gu Xiaoyou blinked and stared at him.
Mu Wuchen was silent for a moment and said calmly: "It is a higher official position than the governor."
"How big of an official is a governor..." Gu Xiaoyou muttered in confusion. She was really confused about the official positions in ancient times. Although she had studied history class, it was different in every dynasty and every generation. She returned it as soon as she graduated.
Teacher.
So when Mu Wuchen said "Governor", Gu Xiaoyou was confused.
What's more, there is a difference between the official positions in the Chaoyang Kingdom and the official positions in the Celestial Dynasty, which makes her even more confused.
Gu Xiaoyou couldn't understand, so he simply shook Mu Wuchen's arm: "You can teach me some science."
"What is popular science?" Mu Wuchen felt relieved when he saw that she didn't understand, and asked deliberately.
"Science popularization means explanation. For example, if you don't know what Guiling Jeal is, I will explain it to you. When I explain it, I will popularize science for you." Gu Xiaoyou explained.
"Oh? I don't quite understand what you mean? Do you mean the process of explanation or the content of explanation is popular science?" Mu Wuchen understood instantly and asked deliberately.
"Oh, why are you so stupid?" Gu Xiaoyou pouted, thought for a while, and explained seriously: "It means that I tell you knowledge you don't understand as an act of popularizing science."
"I see." Mu Wuchen made an expression of sudden realization: "Then you can give me some knowledge about the morning tea shop."
"Okay, the morning tea shop is a kind of food culture in the south of my hometown." Gu Xiaoyou searched for the concept of morning tea in his mind and began to educate Mu Wuchen.
A smile flashed across Mu Wuchen's eyes, and he listened to Gu Xiaoyou's explanation seriously. He seemed to be somewhat interested in what he was saying. He asked a few more questions, and Gu Xiaoyou answered them one by one.
While the two were talking, they returned to Novelty Street.
Gu Xiaoyou stopped talking without finishing his words and got off the carriage: "That's about it for morning tea."
"Well, it's very interesting." Mu Wuchen put the phone into his sleeve. They had just had a good conversation and forgot to return the phone to Gu Xiaoyou.
The two of them had already gotten out of the car. It was obviously not a good time to return the phone. Mu Wuchen suggested: "Go to the morning tea shop."
"Okay, I'll ask the cook to make you some tea snacks, please taste it, sir." Gu Xiaoyou agreed happily and made a gesture of invitation.
