Time and Space Tavern

Chapter 7
After a short silence, Tang Wei asked, "What will you do after graduation, has no one ever heard of it?"

"I opened a tavern. My uncle used to open it and left it to me." Qiao Mu said, "You can come over and have a drink when you are free. There are discounts for beauties."

"Where?" Tang Wei ignored Qiao Mu's teasing.

"Tang Scenic Area, Fenghe Road." Qiao Mu said.

Not long after the two talked, Tang Wei stopped outside a jade shop.The shop is very large, and the plaque on the door reads "Qianxi Jade" in large gilt characters.

Qiao Mu was a little impressed, and wondered if this store belonged to the Tang family.But to his surprise, Tang Wei didn't stay, but turned into an inconspicuous small shop nearby.

The shop has a half-open wooden door with a faded word "福" on it.

When he walked all the way to the door of the small shop, Qiao Mu suddenly realized, isn't this the shop of the black-hearted boss?

When Qiao Mu was in a daze, Tang Wei's voice came out: "Third Uncle."

Another voice that was slightly familiar and full of doting followed: "Hey, Weiwei is here. What do you want from uncle?"

"Can't you come if you have nothing to do?" Tang Wei acted like a baby. Qiao Mu had never seen that kind of tone in the other party.

"Little girl, you think I don't know, it's for your grandfather's birthday gift. It's a pity that I met a good jade before and couldn't fool that stupid boy."

"Third uncle, why are you lying again?"

"You little girl, if you are not in charge of the family, you don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive. This is called picking up leaks, not a lie!"

Overhearing what the two of them said by accident, Qiao Mu's face collapsed, realizing that he was the stupid boy the other party was talking about.He lifted the dilapidated door curtain, and happened to stare at the wretched old man.

"Why are you here?" Tang Desheng blurted out.

Tang Wei was about to go back and introduce the two of them, when she saw this, she asked strangely: "How do you know each other?"

Qiao Mu shrugged: "I am the stupid boy he calls me."

Tang Wei covered her small mouth lightly, she was extremely cute.

"What are you talking about, do I know you?" Tang Desheng put on a straight face, pretending to be serious.

The corner of Tang Wei's mouth couldn't help twitching, she looked at her third uncle helplessly, pointed at Qiao Mu and introduced, "This is my classmate, he has a jade article to sell, please help me look at it."

She said to Qiao Mu again: "This is my third uncle, with me around, he wouldn't dare to lie to you."

"Take it out." Tang Desheng stretched out his hand reluctantly.He originally planned to let people find out Qiao Mu's identity, and then find someone to pretend to be another buyer to lower the price, and finally bought it for tens of thousands of dollars more. Looking at the situation now, it is obvious that his goal cannot be achieved.

Qiao Mu glanced at Tang Desheng warily, and took out the dragon-shaped jade pendant.

After seeing Yupei, Tang Wei's eyes lit up a little.Although she didn't know much about jade wares, she was still better than Qiao Mu, so she could tell at a glance that the texture and carving of this jade pendant were very good.

Tang Desheng put on his gloves, took out a magnifying glass, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then nodded to Tang Wei: "The jade is the best, and the carving is a master level, but..."

He looked at Qiao Mu: "I know all the famous masters in China, but this is not the style of any of them. Where did you get this jade pendant?"

"Ancestral." Qiao Mu insisted.

"Five million," Tang Desheng said, "I won't lie to you this time. If this is a masterpiece of some master, it may not be impossible to sell it for tens of millions."

He looked at Qiao Mu, expecting Qiao Mu to say the master's name.

Qiao Mu was stunned, not thinking that much at all, his mind was filled with "500 million".In all his life, he has never seen so much money!

Tang Desheng looked contemptuous and asked someone to transfer the money to Qiao Mu's bank card. Afterwards, he carefully put away the jade pendant and waved to Tang Wei: "Come and get it tomorrow, I'll study it first."

Immediately, he said to Qiao Mu impatiently, "You should leave soon after you get the money!"

"Let me treat you to dinner." Qiao Mu turned to Tang Wei, "You buy me a drink, and I buy you a meal. It's just right for both."

Before Tang Wei could speak, Tang Desheng took the lead in snorting coldly: "Boy, it's so tricky. It's not so easy to want to date the daughter of our old Tang family."

Qiao Mu always felt that there was something else in his words.

Without a doubt, Tang Wei declined Qiao Mu's request.Qiao Mu was disappointed, but not surprised.If not, she would not be regarded as a goddess.

Even though there was a text message on the phone, Qiao Mu went to the cash machine to check.Under the insane gaze of the people in line behind, he laughed three times and took out a little cash.

Opposite the bank was a gold shop. Seeing the resounding signboard, Qiao Mu suddenly remembered something his mother had said unintentionally.

In the village where Qiao Mu lives, most of the children go out to work after graduating from junior high school. Qiao Mu's parents insisted that he and his elder sister go to college to graduate.It is a huge burden to support two college students in the countryside.Not only did the family fail to save any money over the years, but they also owed a lot of foreign debt.Looking at some of the neighbors' aunts and aunts wearing gold and silver, it is impossible for Qiao Mu's mother to say that she is not envious.She once complained to Father Qiao, saying that she lived frugally with him, and that the woolen coat she promised when she got married had not been fulfilled for decades.

"With this money, I can take my parents over, so I don't have to let them work hard at farming the few acres of land at home." Thinking of his parents' aging faces, Qiao Mu felt his nose sore.

He decided to buy his mother some gold jewelry, so that she could hold her head up in front of the neighbors, so that some people would not mock her for being useless in supporting two college students.

On the recommendation of an enthusiastic shopping guide, Qiao Mu bought a gold bracelet, a gold earring and a gold necklace, spending a total of more than 3 yuan.

With the bag in his hand, he felt unprecedented satisfaction.

Back in the tavern, it was getting dark.Qiao Mu saw a sneaky figure wandering at the door from a distance. When he walked over, the man had already walked away.

Back in the shop, he put the bought things on the table, held his chin in a daze for a while, and started planning in his heart.

He has discovered the peculiarity of the tavern. It is obviously not that simple here.My second uncle, who was once regarded as a psychotic prodigal, might be a great genius, or he might have had amazing experiences.

His thoughts turned, and the room in front of him changed for a while, turning into a silver space full of science fiction.

With a thought in Qiao Mu's mind, the faucet under the wine barrel was turned on, and the transparent wine flew into a glass next to it.After a while, the wine was full and flew towards the tree steadily.

Wiping off the cold sweat from his forehead, Qiao Mu poured liquor into his stomach, feeling the burning heat in his chest, he let out a long breath.

500 million is not enough to actually spend it.

Only if we can continue to connect to the Three Kingdoms era can we get a steady stream of wealth.

Why on earth was that road broken?

Qiao Mu thought and thought but couldn't get any results, so he couldn't help scratching his hair in distress.

The phone beeped, he picked it up, and saw that it was a text message from his elder sister, asking if what he said was true.

He told the other party about selling jade wares before, but said that the source of the jade pendant was found in a tavern.

He looked at the jewelry he bought, opened the box, took out the gold bracelet, and planned to take a photo for the other party to see.If you don't get rich, you can't afford this kind of thing.

When he held the bracelet in his palm, he suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart, and the wall beside him felt greedy.Qiao Mu accidentally placed the bracelet by the wall, and the wall in front of him turned into that silver metal look again.
