Chapter 285 Silly Pigeon
Chapter 285 Silly Pigeon
The timid carrier pigeon was now trying desperately to get closer to the falcon, but the falcon used its claws to block its body from approaching.
Xia Wanniang looked up at the tree in confusion, then looked down at Lai Fu who looked sleepy: "What's going on?"
Lai Fu almost closed his eyes: I don’t know, maybe he thinks falcons are not as scary as he imagined!
Xia Wanniang wanted to cover her face: "Laifu, you should talk to it. What if this guy encounters other falcons in the future and dares to approach them without fear of death? Isn't it just delivering food to others?"
Lai Fu could only resign himself to his fate and shout upwards, but the little pigeon seemed to have given up and wanted to move closer to the falcon.
The falcon looked down at Xia Wanniang, his eyes full of inquiry: Can I eat this stupid pigeon?
Xia Wanniang had a headache. If she didn't need it to deliver messages later, she would really mind if a falcon ate it. It was rare to find such a social pigeon.
The falcon understood what she meant and could only use its feet to isolate the pigeon while closing its eyes to avoid attacking it.
A few black cats here have burned off a lot of energy by playing with their balls, and now they are sleeping soundly in the yard with their balls in their arms.
On the other side, in Los Angeles, Qiu He arrived at the private room of Yuelai Restaurant on time.
When Boss Zhang saw him arrive, he quickly stood up to greet him: "Boss Qiu, you are finally here."
Qiu He smiled and bowed to him: "Boss Zhang is such a busy man, how could he think of inviting a small person like me to dinner?"
Boss Zhang gave a fake smile: "What are you talking about, Boss Qiu? You are a very busy man. Normally I can't even invite you for a drink."
After three rounds of drinks, Boss Zhang said with a smile, "Boss Qiu, you are too dishonest. You didn't even tell me that you have a shop next to my Yixiu Pavilion."
Qiu He was surprised: "What shop?"
Boss Zhang smiled and pointed at him with a shaking finger: "You're still pretending, I know everything."
Qiu He looked confused: "What can I pretend to be? I really don't know what shop Boss Zhang is talking about."
Boss Zhang saw that he didn't seem to be lying and asked, "Is the shop next to Yixiu Pavilion, which has been vacant for a long time, really not yours?"
Qiu He took a sip of wine: "No."
Boss Zhang looked at his face carefully, trying to see if what he said was true or not: "But I saw someone who claimed to be the owner of the shop went to your West City today."
Qiu He sneered: "Boss Zhang, there are so many people coming in and out of West City every day, they can't all be my people!"
Boss Zhang smiled awkwardly, but he was very happy in his heart. It was the best if it wasn't yours, so he wouldn't feel any pressure to do it. "Drink, drink."
Qiu He raised his glass and clinked it with his, without saying anything else.
The next day, Xia Wanniang took a ox cart to Luo City. She first went to Sanwu Pavilion to find Huo Si Niang and asked her to find someone to help repaint the shops in the market.
She also went to Qing Heyi. When Mrs. Qi saw her, she smiled with joy in her eyes: "Why are you here today?"
Xia Wanniang saw that there were many more women going to the second floor than before: "I'm here to prepare for the new shop, so I came to take a look."
Mrs. Qi was a little surprised when she heard this: "You are going to open a new shop again? What will you sell? I will go to support you then."
Xia Wanniang smiled and said, "One of the shops sells farm tools, which you probably won't need. The other shop is a theater. If Madam Qi is interested, I'll reserve a private room for you when it opens. You can take your family to have a look."
Mrs. Qi was pleasantly surprised. "Oh! That's great. I love listening to operas the most. But I'm busy with my business and don't have much time to go to the theater."
The two went upstairs together. They had brought a lot of clothes last time, so there was still plenty of stock.
Mrs. Qi had studied these clothes, but the embroiderer could not make them. As for where these clothes came from, she was smart enough to never ask.
Master Qi also warned the children in the family not to inquire about the source of these things, otherwise they might come into conflict with the Xiao family.
The reason why Xia Wanniang cooperated with Madam Qi was that she knew that they would not explore the sources of these things. For both of them, this was the best way to get along.
If one day they cross the line, their fate will end here.
