Xiao Hachi angrily flew into the shop from outside and landed on the counter.

Mei Qianghua held back her laughter: "What's wrong? Are you so angry?"

It angrily recounted what had just happened, and finally concluded: "They are so incompetent!"

Mei Qianghua put a nut to its mouth and consoled it without any hesitation, "Eat something delicious and you won't be angry. We don't care about incompetent people!"

In the eyes of others, this is just a bird, so it is not surprising that others do not take it seriously.

But in its eyes, it is not a bird, it is a system, or it can be a human, but it is definitely not a bird, so it gets very angry when others tease it like this.

After complaining once, Mr. Xiaoba was in a much better mood and came over with small steps: "Qianqian, shall we go to the painting boat on the river tonight? I heard that it is very beautiful there!"

Mei Qianghua tried not to laugh: "Do you want to go?"

The parrot's head almost fell off, "Think!" the voice was loud.

Mei Qianghua almost died laughing in her heart.

You say it has a lustful heart, but that's not entirely true. It never gets over the line, and the most it does is stick to people's little faces and touch their little hands. If a young lady gives you a kiss, it will be shy, and it will only make a smile on its mouth.

Mei Qianghua observed it for a long time and found that it simply liked beautiful and gentle young ladies to surround it, and liked to be the limelight in the gentle countryside.

Sometimes she herself feels that the money spent is not worth it.

It asked: "Qianqian, are you going to go?"

Mei Qianghua smiled and replied: "Go, why not go, I also want to see something."

He scratched its chin and asked, "How much do you plan to spend tonight?"

Master Xiaoba fluttered his feathers, and a stack of banknotes appeared at his feet, including two or three thousand taels.

Oh, the little treasury is quite fat.

Mei Qianghua counted them one by one, two thousand and three.

Mr. Ba leaned over and said, "Give me a little more. I can't lose face in front of others tonight!" He wants to be the most shining Mr. Ba among the crowd!

The corners of Mei Qianghua's mouth twitched, silently reflecting on herself in her heart.

She seems to have raised this bird so much that she doesn't know the sufferings of the world. Three thousand taels, a family of ten can't spend all in this life!

She took out a thousand taels and put them aside, and put the rest into her own space. She tapped the banknote and said, "That's all I'll spend tonight."

Before it could speak with dissatisfaction, Mei Qianghua said first: "Come on, come on, I'll dress you up, and I will make your stunning appearance tonight. No one can steal your glory!"

Its little eyes rolled, "I want to put diamonds on the feathers!"

Emeralds, diamonds and other types of gems are very cheap in the interstellar world. It cannot be said that they are as worthless as stones, but they are not much different, because there are too many planets found to be rich in emerald gems, and each one is no smaller than Blue Star.

When trading the yacht, the other party gave her a lot. Of course, it was not for nothing. It was the premium for the stone that was traded to her. After buying the cruise ship, cargo ship, yacht and mining machine, there was still some left over for the sharp stone, so she was given a few dollars in exchange for it. There are various gemstones in big boxes, and there is also a machine that specializes in cutting gemstones.

All this makes Mei Qianghua look forward to the good things in Xiaoba's treasury in exchange for other systems.

Mei Qianghua took out a basin and poured some warm water into it, "Go and soak first."

It flew down into the basin, "Give me the rest of the money."

Mei Qianghua: "I will give you a bath myself, why do you need three hundred taels?"

Mr. Xiaoba’s voice was even louder, “Are you robbing money? Is it so expensive?!”

The gentle lady can only spend a hundred taels walking around it for a few hours, but she lets it take a bath by herself and accepts three hundred taels from it? !

Mei Qianghua glanced at the blue-haired bird: "Can I be the same as others?!"

If you dare to say the same or worse, I will pluck all the bird feathers for you!

It angrily stepped into the water and splashed. You might as well have someone else give me a bath to make me feel more comfortable!

But it didn't dare to say this, so it had to swallow its anger and ask: "What about another thousand taels?"

Mei Qiang didn't even raise her eyes, "Why don't you go next time? I'll save it for you, are you still afraid that I'll swallow it?"

Master Xiaoba: It’s so scary.

One person and one bird stuttered, and someone came to the shop.

Two people came in carrying food boxes. They were the food delivery people from Xiangmanlou.

Seeing the visitor, Mei Qianghua pointed to the counter on one side, "Just put it on top."

Shopkeeper Sun asked the waiter to set the food, and he held his hand two steps away from her, "My surname is Sun, and I am the shopkeeper of Xiangmanlou. It's really surprising that you let this bird come to order the food. In addition, there are a few items that are not available." I’ve seen the dishes before, so Xiangmanlou specially brought you a few dishes, and I don’t know if you are satisfied with them.”

Mei Qianghua cleaned her hands and came to the food.

Xiangmanlou can occupy the top position in all the major restaurants in the city. The cooking skills of the chef are naturally not bad. He knows the cuisines from all over the Yan Dynasty. Even if you have never heard of the names of the dishes, you can still guess something. Make something similar.

Although I haven’t tried the dishes in front of me yet, they are attractive in color and aroma, and there is nothing to be picky about the plum blossoms.

"My surname is Qian, the shopkeeper of this shop."

Shopkeeper Sun handed over his hand again, "Shopkeeper Qian." He had heard the parrot say "Master Xiaoba" before, and thought he was its owner.

Mei Qianghua also raised her hand and asked: "Shopkeeper Sun, is there a menu at Xiangmanlou? Can you leave a copy?"

"Yes, yes, yes," even if you don't have it, shopkeeper Sun can see that this is a long-term customer, "The waiter in the store will bring it to you when he comes to collect the food box."

"Thank you."

"Then I won't disturb Shopkeeper Qian's meal." Shopkeeper Sun glanced at a pile of banknotes randomly placed on the counter and left with the waiter.

After leaving the door, Shopkeeper Sun was a little stunned. The stack of banknotes, at least a few hundred taels, was left there so indifferently. He really didn't know what to say. No wonder she could raise such an intelligent parrot. I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money, right?

Halfway through, I looked back again, feeling a little regretful. It would be great if shopkeeper Qian was a man. He wouldn't have to worry about the difference between men and women and could stay a little longer.

After finishing the meal, I waited for the waiter at Xiangmanlou to bring the menu. After taking away the food boxes, Mei Qianghua closed its doors.

She now lives in the Manjinlou Inn a street away.

The third floor is facing the street. When you open the window at night, you can see the night view downstairs.

The best rooms are also expensive, costing at least two yuan a day. However, she is not short of money now, especially since she has a lot of banknotes. She is too lazy to change them and doesn't want to wrong herself. Naturally, she spends whatever money she has.

"Shopkeeper Qian, you are back."

As soon as I entered the inn, I was greeted warmly and respectfully by the waiter.

"Can we have lunch?"

Manjinlou specializes in accommodation business and also provides food, but it is not as good as other specialized restaurants.

He threw a silver coin to him casually and said, "I've used it. Go get a bucket of water."

"Hey, I've prepared everything for you. Just wait a moment and I'll be here soon." The waiter took the coin with a smile on his face, felt the weight of money in his hand, and ran to the backyard to tell someone to get water.

The bucket of water Mei Qianghua mentioned was not just a wooden bucket of water, but enough water to fill a bathtub, requiring several trips back and forth.

……

After washing, Mei Qianghua sat by the window and put a white diamond on the blue bird's neck.

These white diamonds have fifty-seven facets cut into them. They shine brightly under the light and are so beautiful.

"Do you feel uncomfortable?" Mei Qianghua asked.

The blue-haired bird moved its neck and said in an excited tone, "No, hurry up, stick them all on me."

Birds naturally like such shiny things, and now that they have become birds, they also like them.

It's getting late.

Mei Qianghua is wearing a moon-white cross-collar skirt, her hair is tied up high with a matching headband. On her left shoulder stands a blue-haired parrot with its head held high, and the ring of diamonds around her neck is really beautiful under the candlelight. sparkling with light.

The sting made her unconsciously turn her head to avoid it.

Walking on the road, one person and one bird have a 100% chance of turning heads.

Mei Qianghua carelessly turned the moon-white purse on her finger that was the same color as her clothes, looking here and there.

Nightlife in ancient times was really not rich unless it was a festival.

Drinking wine, reciting poems, partying, drinking tea, listening to music, and enjoying singing and dancing.

The main focus is leisurely.

Add to that the curfew, and for her, it was over before it even began.

Mei Qianghua stood still, suddenly feeling that all this was boring.

The blue bird on the shoulder stamped its feet twice, as if asking, why don't you leave?

"Come on, let's go watch a show."

The blue-haired bird was confused and whispered in her ear: "Aren't you going to paint the boat? Then remember to pay me back!"

Mei Qianghua snorted, could she take it back if it fell into her hand?

"You don't think we don't need money to play other things, do you?"

"Don't fool me, those don't cost much!" Anyway, those without it cost a lot.

Mei Qianghua refused to listen and took her around, going wherever there were many people, making sure that the diamond around her neck flashed in everyone's eyes, and then she turned and walked towards the theater.

A pot of tea and various dried fruits.

The babbling that I thought I couldn't listen to now has a different flavor to it now.

The history is different, and the popular operas are also different, but some core contents have not changed.

The hatred between family and country, the love, hatred and enmity between men and women are full of legends.

What she is watching now is an opera similar to a Chinese fairy tale.

The female ghost and the heartless scholar.

The female ghost was originally a lady from a rich family. She funded the imperial examination for a poor and handsome scholar, and agreed that if the scholar passed the examination, he would come to propose marriage. As a result, after the scholar passed the examination and passed the imperial examination, he was chosen by the Shangguan and betrothed his daughter to him.

The scholar was naturally delighted that a lady from an official family was more beneficial to his career than a lady from a rich family, so he abandoned the rich lady without hesitation.

Not only that, he also spread rumors about the rich lady, because everyone knows the agreement between the rich lady and him. As long as the rich lady dies, there will always be people who think that he is ungrateful for the sake of glory and wealth. Even if it is true, he does not want to hear such comments. .

So he forced the rich lady to commit suicide in order to preserve the family's reputation.

The rich lady who committed suicide became a female ghost because of the deep resentment in her heart. The first thing she did after becoming a female ghost was to find a scholar...

Seeing this, Mei Qianghua originally thought the ending was he, because many stories were written like this, but to her surprise, the ending turned out to be that the female ghost killed the unfaithful scholar without hesitation after seeing the scholar.

Since then, he has embarked on the path of killing all the heartless people in the world.

Everyone in the audience applauded.

Mei Qianghua looked at the female actor on the stage holding a long sword draped in silk and striking a betrayed person with a blank look on her face.

It's because she has lost sight.

The opera on the stage became cheerful, and today the opera is almost over.

Xiaoba grabbed her sleeve and said, "Money, money, give me money."

Mei Qianghua took out two hundred taels of silver notes and stuffed them into its mouth.

Now it can hold banknotes in its mouth very proficiently without breaking them.

It landed on the edge of the stage, and many spectators who had not yet left sat down again, watching the scene with interest.

Definitely not because they wanted to know what that thing on its neck was that dazzled them.

The opera on the stage paused slightly because of his move, but then quickly continued.

After the blue-feathered bird put down the banknote, it flew back to Mei Qianghua with everyone's probing eyes.

After the opera ended, Mei Qianghua also left.

……

The next day.

Mei Qianghua slept until the sun was shining three times before getting up.

After a leisurely lunch, I went to the shop.

"Shopkeeper Qian."

When Mei Qianghua opened the door, she happened to meet shopkeeper Zhou next door.

"Good morning, Shopkeeper Zhou."

Shopkeeper Zhou shook his head helplessly, "Is it still early? The sun is shining."

His daughter made a fuss early in the morning to come to the teahouse with him, but she waited all morning without seeing her come, and was taken back by her mother unhappy.

Shopkeeper Qian, can she really make money by opening a shop like this?

Mei Qianghua smiled and said, "Have you had lunch? Shall I invite Shopkeeper Zhou to lunch?"

Seeing Shopkeeper Zhou step forward to help her open the door of the shop, Mei Qianghua stretched out her hand to stop her, "You don't need Shopkeeper Zhou's help, I'll do it myself."

Shopkeeper Zhou saw this and stopped using his hands.

Mei Qianghua opened the door and saw shopkeeper Zhou standing aside. She was a little surprised and asked, "Does shopkeeper Zhou come to see me for something?"

Shopkeeper Zhou looked at the blue bird with closed eyes and shining neck on her shoulder, with mixed emotions.

"Shopkeeper Qian, you dress this parrot up so rich and noble, so you are not afraid that your parrot will be caught."

Mei Qianghua was helpless. When she came back last night, she wanted to take it off, but it didn't cooperate.

"No way, birds like shiny things."

Shopkeeper Zhou shook his head. Shopkeeper Qian loved her parrot too much.

Mei Qianghua: "Shopkeeper Zhou, would you like to come and have a look at my shop? I just opened it and haven't opened it yet."

How can you open a shop like this? Although he thought so, shopkeeper Zhou still entered the shop.

Although he is no longer in the imperial examination, he can still buy some enlightenment books and give them away, right?

After walking around the bookshelf, Shopkeeper Zhou became more and more surprised as he read, "Shopkeeper Qian, the quality of your books is pretty good. How much does one cost?"

He flipped through two books with the same title and looked at them. The handwriting, content, and arrangement were all the same.

Mei Qianghua: "No matter what book you read, the enlightenment books are all 200 words each, and the most expensive ones don't cost more than fifty taels of silver."

Shopkeeper Zhou touched the book in his hand, "You can't make back your money this way...wait a minute!"

His eyes widened, "You still sell recipes?"

Shopkeeper Zhou picked up a palm-sized booklet with the words "Recipe Buddha Jumps over the Wall" written on it. The price of twenty taels was also marked on the lower right side of the cover. There were several other books on the same shelf.

He flipped through it again and found that there were many recipe booklets like this, and the most expensive ones were no more than fifty taels.

However, such brochures are sealed, and only the cover can be seen, not the content. However, the picture of a jar of Buddha jumping over the wall on the cover is just like the real one, which makes people want to try it.

Shopkeeper Zhou: "..." I feel complicated.
