Chapter 1036: What other young ladies have, we young ladies must also have

Zhou Guo smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. This tofu recipe is not difficult. It won't be long before someone can make it. I won't make much money from it. Maybe someone else will make it."

With the manpower and financial resources of Baoyue Tower, they will definitely be able to make the money they want with this recipe and establish a name for themselves before this.

But she was different. At that time, holding this was of no use and it definitely could not be compared with the profit from selling crabs.

Xu Sibei raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, didn't you say that you didn't get these crabs for free from them? You exchanged them for the recipe. At least they were willing to exchange them, so they must think it's worth it. This can be considered as a payment. Why do you have to sell crabs after others in the city? You can't sell them even if they don't want to. How can this be justified?"

Zhou Guo: “…”

Suddenly it made sense. Yes, she had paid these crabs, and they were not taking advantage of Baoyue Tower.

Moreover, she raised these crabs with great effort on her own and never asked Baoyue Tower for any breeding techniques. So, they have nothing to do with Baoyue Tower.

Xu Sibei said, "When the crabs are out of the pond this year, you can sell them wherever you want just like Baoyue Tower does. They won't dare to say anything. You have done your best to let them take advantage of you for so many years."

She couldn't help but look at Xu Xiaobei who had been silent the whole time. Xu Xiaobei nodded and said, "Although your brother's words were a bit impolite, I have similar ideas to him. If you feel uncomfortable with this, find an opportunity to have a meal with the owner of Baoyue Tower and let them know."

Zhou Guo's mouth twitched. It seemed that he was not polite at all and just told him directly.

But after hearing their words, she felt more confident and nodded, "I understand. I'll see what I can do."

After so many years of giving in, it is indeed enough.

In fact, since last year, she has not been giving in. She followed others and drank the soup with big pieces of meat.

The price was set last year, and there is absolutely no reason for it to go up this year. It can only go down.

I think Baoyue Tower wouldn't say anything. After all, they had already stocked the goods in several cities last year.

Seeing that she listened to his advice, Xu Sibei was very happy and said with a smile: "That's right. Although I don't know much about business, I think it's impossible to give up the profit forever. Giving up for a few years is already giving them face. After that, it depends on your ability. Otherwise, won't the ones who benefit in this world always be the same few companies?"

Xu Xiaobei glared at him and Xu Sibei shut up.

Zhou Guo nodded and decided to obey.

After lunch, they went out for a walk. Xu Sibei took her around the streets, pointing at the silver and gold shops and said, "Come on, go in, I'll buy you some jewelry. Don't you young ladies like these things? You acknowledged me as your brother, and I haven't given you a gift yet."

Zhou Guo looked down at his outfit and said, "Brother, look at me. I wear men's clothes all year round. What kind of jewelry do you think I need?"

Xu Sibei saw her bald head with a jade hairpin on it, and thought, "You look so good in men's clothes, I wonder what you look like in women's clothes. It doesn't matter, I'll buy it for you first, and you can wear it when you wear women's clothes someday."

Xu Xiaobei at the side said, "Although the young lady doesn't wear anything, she can't be without it. What other young ladies have, our young lady must also have."

Zhou Guo's mouth widened, "Then I'd like to thank you, big brother, here."

If I'm too polite, they'll probably be unhappy.

Sure enough, the two people were very happy and had smiles on their faces.

Xu Sibei pulled her inside and said, "What are you waiting for? Come on, let's go buy you some nice jewelry."

The shopkeeper of the Jinlou already knew Zhou Guo, and when he saw him, he said attentively: "Young Master, you are here, just in time. A few days ago, a batch of new goods just arrived in the building. Come and take a look. It can be worn by either the lady or the young mistress."

Xu Sibei was unhappy, "Why give it to the Madam or the Young Madam? Why not give it to the young lady? Do you have any jewelry suitable for the young lady? Take it out and let me see it."

Xu Xiaobei followed beside him without saying anything.

The shopkeepers in this business all had good eyesight. When they saw the two people like this, even a blind person could see their noble aura, even though they had never seen them before. They smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes, we have a lot of jewelry for young ladies here."

Another big order is coming today.

When the jewelry came out, Zhou Guo's eyes lit up. There were indeed a lot of beautiful things. He couldn't help but ask, "Shopkeeper, why are the jewelry different this time? Did you change the craftsman?"

"How could that be possible?" the shopkeeper said respectfully, "These are fashionable jewelry from the south. They are very popular in the south this year."

Zhou Guo nodded without asking him where he was from.

Looking at these gold, silver and jewellery, I think each one is beautiful.

In fact, she now has quite a few in her jewelry box.

Over the years, she bought a few pieces from time to time for herself, her mother bought a lot for her every year, and Zhou Xing also bought some for her every year. Although she rarely wore them, the jewelry box was getting fuller and fuller.

Xu Sibei picked up a few of the kingfisher-feathered hairpins and hairpins. The petals looked like chrysanthemums, layered one on top of the other, and were very beautiful.

He picked it up and compared it to her head, "This one looks good, I want all of them."

Zhou Guo took a look and found that they were all suitable for young girls to wear. They were not old-fashioned and fashionable. He said, "Young man, you don't need so many. One or two will be enough. These jewelry are not cheap."

The kingfisher feather inlay craft is precious. Over the years, she has only one or two hairpins in her box, and she bought them because she liked them so much.

Xu Xiaobei smiled and said, "Don't worry about him. He often picks jewelry for the old lady. He has a unique vision and everyone likes it. Later, your sister-in-law would ask him to help her pick jewelry."

It’s just that most people don’t want to go.

Zhou Guo took a fancy to several coral bracelets in another plate, some big, some small, some short, and some long.

She took out a few bracelets, but unfortunately there were not enough to share. She had older brothers, a younger brother, and an uncle at home, and several brothers here needed to buy some.

Since my older brothers have bought it, my elder brothers, sisters-in-law, nephews and nieces cannot be left behind.

If you calculate it this way, it will be a huge sum of money if it is sold. A piece of this quality will cost at least one thousand taels.

Thinking of this, she put down the string in her hand, looked at it for a few times, and really liked it. She thought it would be better for her to buy one string for herself later, or just buy three strings, and they could buy the other things later. If she only bought three strings, she could still afford it.

I sighed silently in my heart. With so many people here, there are quite a few gifts to be given out.

Xu Sibei picked out a set for her and Xu Xiaobei paid for it.

Zhou Guo carried these exquisite jewellery out of the brothel.

Several people stood on the street, not knowing what to do.

Xu Xiaobei said to her, "We are going back to the camp today. Logically, we should go visit my aunt, but since we are on a tight schedule and they are in Cangshan Village, the journey is long, so let's forget about it this time. Next time we go out, we will definitely visit them."
