C3923 Spin Silk from a Cocoon(part I)
The price of Gui Laosi's steamed bun was 0.5 silver coins. In the war era, the price did not increase. The old customers all turned their heads back. According to Gui Laosi's own method, a steamed bun only earned 10 copper coins. It was unknown if this was true or false, but steamed buns were currently the cheapest food. There was no doubt about it.
Although rich people could spend dozens of gold coins or even hundreds of gold coins for a meal, there were still tens of millions of players. A copper coin could not wait to be broken apart and used as two copper coins.
In the game, it was the same as in reality. One had to eat too. If one did not eat, one would be starving, and one's physical strength would be exhausted. One would not be able to do anything, and even walking would be a problem.
"Gui Laosi, today's stall is so late. We have been waiting for five or six minutes. What's going on? You work so hard at night that you can't get up today?" A customer's words made people burst into laughter.
"F * ck off. I am good at fighting. Even if I work all night, I am still energetic and tired in the morning. That word has nothing to do with me. That word is not in my dictionary." He had a beautiful wife, which was his pride and also something he was worried about. There were always people who compared him to Wu Dalang, and occasionally it didn't matter, but this time there were so many people that he couldn't help but feel suspicious. His wife bought groceries, asked for directions, and so on. As long as it was a man, he would feel that there was something wrong with his wife, and then he would start to worry, and then he would start to suspect. He also knew that a lot of suspicions were unreasonable, but he just couldn't control it.
Therefore, he almost didn't have any social activities alone. After he closed the stall, he would immediately log off and go home to accompany his wife. He didn't go anywhere. He was even more otakus than an otaku
His nervousness caused the originally harmonious relationship between husband and wife to be in chaos. His wife was unhappy, and he was also frowning. This was the reason why he had been suffering from insomnia recently.
"Gui Laosi, usually, your wife would come out to help. Why aren't you here today?" The customer stuck his head out with an evil smile on his face. He was ugly, but he was tall and powerful.
"If you want to buy it, then buy it. If not, get lost." Gui Laosi glared at him with a face full of anger. Every day, customers joked about him and his wife. However, today, he couldn't stand such jokes.
"No matter what you say, there is no need to rush. Five steamed buns!" The customers quickly gave in. If Gui Laosi didn't do his business, he would have to spend more money to eat. That was something he didn't want to do. In terms of money and face, he decisively chose money.
Similar to the beef soup, the Mantou of Gui Laosi was also a limited-edition stall. It would only be open for business for 3: 30 a.m. between 06: 00 and 9: 30 a.m. No matter if the stall was sold out or not, it would close on time. However, under normal circumstances, the steamed buns would be sold out in advance. There were also some people who suggested that Gui Laosi make more steamed buns, but they were all turned down by Gui Laosi.
It wasn't that he didn't care about the money, but he cared too much about his wife. Sometimes, his wife would come to help him, but she would leave in an hour. He was worried about his wife, so he had to spend more time with her.
As usual, from 6: 30 to 7: 30, it was the peak period. When it was just a few minutes before 8: 00, the flow of customers quickly returned. Gui Laosi let out a sigh of relief and prepared to smoke a cigarette. He was a smoker, but he didn't dare to smoke at home. His wife wouldn't allow him to smoke. His wife couldn't smell smoke.
He took out the cigarette and put it in his mouth. Before he lit it, he suddenly felt that something wasn't right. When he raised his head, he was stunned. He didn't know when, but four city enforcement officers had surrounded him.
"I have already paid for my stall fees for this month," Old Gui's four pieces of equipment replied reflexively.
"It isn't about the stall fees." A law enforcement officer walked out from behind the city enforcement officers with a cold smile on his face.
"I wonder... what's going on?" A bad feeling rose in Gui Laosi's heart.
"Gui Laosi, your problem has been exposed." The law enforcement team said lightly.
"What is it?" Gui Laosi forced himself to calm down.
"What is it?" Gui Four tried his best to calm down. The Dark Lord Dynasty. The law-enforcing team member said.
The King of Darkness. The law-enforcer said.
The cigarette in Gui Si's mouth fell to the ground. Gui Si's whole body tensed up, but after a moment, he gave up and said weakly: "I am a member of the Empire of Darkness, but this is not against the law, right?"
"Whether or not it's against the law is not up to you to decide, nor is it up to me to decide. The lord has the final say. Come with us." The law enforcement officer said.
"I don't understand. What is it? Even if you die, you have to let me know, right?" Naturally, Gui Laosi was unwilling to go.
"Don't you know?" The guard sneered, "It is such a big matter, yet you are pretending not to know. What else could it be but a ghost in your heart? Take it away. If you dare to resist, I will kill you on the spot."
Gui Laosi looked at the shining badge of the city enforcement officer and could only reach out his hands obediently. If he fought back now, he would die miserably.
...
Big Orange Bathhouse.
The inside of the bathhouse was foggy. When one walked into the bathhouse from the outside, it was like two different worlds. It was cold outside and the inside of the bathhouse was warm like spring.
If it wasn't for Little Pig Pei Qi leading the way, Dongfang Qingyu really wouldn't have known that there was such a place in Azure Dragon City. The layout of the bathhouse was similar to that of KTV. The lobby and the private rooms respectively satisfied the needs of different customers.
"There are bathhouses in Black Turtle City, White Tiger City, Dream City, and so on. The largest one is in White Tiger City." Little Pig Pei Qi introduced.
"Do you come often?" Dongfang Qingyu saw a lot of people greeting him.
"The bathhouse is the same as the tea house and the wine shop. They are all important sources of information. I am a person who has sweat. The meaning of TCM makes me sweat more." The little pig Pei Qi said.
"Aren't you going to take a bath here?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"It can be used for steaming, bathing, or bathing," Fatty Peipei said curiously.
"Understood, integrated." Dongfang Qingyu said.
"It's a dragon." Pig Pei Qi said curiously.
"Heh, what's the other service?" Dongfang Qingyu asked curiously.
"I have everything that I need." The expression on Piglet Pei Qi's face was something that every man knew.
"I didn't see it." Dongfang Qingyu's gaze swept across the hall. The rising fog could not block his line of sight. No matter if it was a customer or a bathroom ripper, they were all male, so he did not see any women.
"A private room," the little pig Pei Qi said.
"What's the price?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"Look at the set meal. The prices vary according to the item. The lowest price is 1 gold coin, and the highest is a French set meal, 108 gold coins." Pig Peipei asked curiously.
"Anyway, it doesn't cost money. Give me a top one. I want to know what a French set meal looks like." Dongfang Qingyu said.
The little pig Pei Qi whispered a few words into the waiter's ear, and the waiter respectfully led the two of them into a luxuriously-decorated private room. There was a small hot spring, and the hot spring in the room did not have the smell of men's sweat like the bath in the lobby. The hot spring in the private room had spices, and the smell in the air was very pleasant.
Dongfang Qingyu glanced over and was about to say that it was only so-so when there was a knock on the door. Then, two beautiful women came in. One was an 18-year-old pure girl and the other was a 28-year-old attractive woman. The former was slender and lively, while the latter was plump and full, graceful and graceful. Little Pig Page had left at some point in time.
"Boss, do you need to wash like this?" The older beauty asked in a charming voice.
"It's my first time here, so I don't know much about it. Whatever you guys are good at will come." Dongfang Qingyu said.
"Then I will take a bath first to warm my body." The beauty and the little beauty went forward and helped him undress. Then, she took off her extra clothes and slipped into the hot spring like a fish...
After the entire process, Dongfang Qingyu felt that the 108 gold coins were worth it. The food and drink were naturally not as good as the food in places like the Happiness Inn, but it also had a different taste. There was no need for her to do anything for fun. The two beauties served her well, had good skills, and were gentle in character. Of course, the most important thing was that they were good-looking and pleasing to the eye.
"Alright, take it easy and let's chat." Just as the two beauties were about to show off their secret techniques, Dongfang Qingyu stopped them. The two beauties did not understand what was going on, but the rules of the bathhouse were that the customer was god, and whatever the customer said, they had to listen to it. The two of them leaned against Dongfang Qingyu's arms, one on the left and the other on the right. The little beauty removed the skin of the fruit, cut the flesh of the fruit into a medium size with a knife, and carefully fed it to Dongfang Qingyu's mouth. The big beauty pinched Dongfang Qingyu's legs.
"Do you usually have a lot of guests?" Dongfang Qingyu leaned against the side of the pool with a face full of enjoyment.
"A little bit more at night, and less during the day," the big beauty replied. Most of the time, it was her who was talking, and the little beauty was shy.
"How many guests do you have to receive a day?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"The two of us have signed a contract, so once a day is enough. If there is a special situation, it will be counted separately." The beauty replied.
"How much do you earn?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"The basic salary is 100 gold coins. As for the commission, it will fluctuate a lot." The beauty replied.
"Can I go out?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"Only a few big clients can." The great beauty hesitated for a moment before answering.
"How many employees are there? I mean beauties like you." Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"I'm not very sure about that. Some of them come in and some of them leave. I estimate that there should be around three to four hundred people," the beauty replied.
"Where's the male staff?" Dongfang Qingyu looked at the time. It had been two and a half hours. He only felt that it had been a moment.
"That's quite a lot. There are 1200 official shower workers and around 300 part-time workers." The beauty said.
"There's even a part-time one." Dongfang Qingyu was quite curious.
"Yes, but there is no base salary for those who work part-time. They only get commission and tips," the beauty said.
"What's the base salary of an official worker? What is it?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"The official workers are divided into four categories: gold, silver, copper, and iron. The base salary of a gold medal shower worker is 8000 yuan, the silver plate is 5000 yuan, the bronze plate is 3000 yuan, and the iron plate is 1500 yuan." The beauty said.
"It's divided into levels. You have broadened your horizons. Then do you still want to take the examination?" Dongfang Qingyu asked with a smile. Even a bathhouse had so many tricks up its sleeve.
"Yes. The examination is usually based on the complaints. If someone complains about it ten times a month, it will be demoted." The beauty said.
"There are so many guests every day. Will there be fights or trouble?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"I heard that there was one in the past, but it disappeared after that. Our boss has a powerful background. After everyone knows about it, they don't dare to cause trouble here." When she mentioned the boss, a trace of fear flashed across her face.
"Is that so? So powerful? Who is your boss's backer?" Dongfang Qingyu looked at the beauty.
"We're just working for him. We don't know about this kind of thing. I only heard about it from someone else when we were chatting." The beauty shook her head.
"He seems to be an official from the Imperial Court. I heard the boss's bodyguard mention it once before." The little beauty suddenly interrupted.
"No wonder. No one dares to touch him with the imperial court protecting him." Dongfang Qingyu nodded and asked, "What kind of person is your boss?"
"She's very powerful!" The beauty hesitated for a moment and said.
"How powerful is he? I want to see for myself. Can you call me over? "Dongfang Qingyu asked. The beauties looked at him in a daze, unable to react.
Who came here to look for the boss? Didn't they come here in a hurry to enjoy their superb service? Their boss was a man. Under Dongfang Qingyu's strong request, the beauty had no choice but to respond to the leader. The leader reported to the boss, but when the boss stepped into the private room, Dongfang Qingyu had already put on her clothes, and the two beauties had also put on their clothes. The three of them were eating fruits on the short coffee table.
"May I know why mister is looking for me ..." The boss smiled and bowed to Dongfang Qingyu. When Dongfang Qingyu raised his head, his words suddenly stopped. His smile froze, and a strong sense of unease flashed across his eyes.
"- Why is the boss looking for me?" The boss quickly regained his calm, but the two beautiful ladies looked at him in surprise. The two sentences of his were very different in tone. The first half of his sentence was very smooth and smooth, like an old friend meeting his friend. The second half was like a subordinate seeing a leader, and he was stuttering.
"Why am I looking for you? You should be mentally prepared." Dongfang Qingyu said.
"I don't understand." The boss said.
"You're called Hongdou, right? Your ID is pretty good," Dongfang Qingyu said.
"Is this ID illegal?" The boss straightened his back and his expression became serious.
"It's not against the law." Dongfang Qingyu shook her head. "But your master is breaking the law."
"This place is called'Big Orange Bath', my territory." Hongdou said slowly. When she said this, the two beauties were shocked. One of them opened her mouth, while the other forgot to feed the food to Dongfang Qingyu. They looked at Hongdou in shock and uneasiness.
