Time and space mission system of fast travel

Chapter 69 Have an ulterior motive?

There was still undisguised surprise on Charlie's face.

Mo DianDian didn't reject him, and even offered to help. If there was someone from the Qing Dynasty like Mo DianDian who made a match, maybe he wouldn't have to worry that he might need to sleep on the street tonight.

"Hello, I may be having a little trouble looking for it now. My name is Charlie, and I am a businessman who comes here to do business. It may be because I am a foreigner, and the people here are not very friendly to me as a foreigner, so I haven't found a suitable place to live yet, and I haven't eaten for almost a day, if you can help me find a place to eat and live, I think I will be very happy."

When Charlie spoke, there was a bit of self-deprecating playfulness in his tone, and he seemed very open-minded.

In fact, Charlie himself is very helpless about his current situation.

Obviously, he carries a lot of delicate and valuable things, but because he is writing about people from other races, in this relatively xenophobic place in the capital, it is difficult for him to find a place to eat and live even with money. A headache and helpless thing.

Mo DianDian, as a five-good young man who grew up in modern times, has a very kind attitude towards these foreigners who are not uncommon in modern times.

Seeing the helpless expression on Charlie's face, she nodded knowingly, then turned to face the shopkeeper who was already looking a little impatient in the inn.

"Shopkeeper, this gentleman from abroad just wants to find a place to eat and live. This gentleman is not in short supply. I wonder if I can find a room for him at your place?"

The shopkeeper still had that impatient expression on his face, but before he could refuse, he immediately hesitated when he heard Mo Diandian's words that he was not short of money.

You know, he opened the store to make money, and if he can't get along with anyone, he can't get along with money.

After thinking about it, he opened his mouth and asked for a price that was twice as expensive as ordinary people.

"Half taels of silver a day, including three meals, love to live. No haggling."

It has been two days since Mo Diandian came to Daqing, and she has already figured out the market price here. The price of half a tael of silver a day is indeed too dark, so dark that she can't help but be speechless.

But she doesn't have such a big face to make the shopkeeper change his mind.

She turned to Charlie and repeated in English what the shopkeeper had just said.

Charlie has been in the Qing Dynasty for a long time, and obviously knows that the price is relatively low, but it is very good that he can find such a place where he can live.

And as a big businessman, he is not short of this money.He readily agreed to the price given by the shopkeeper, and immediately took out 20 taels of silver and placed it in front of the shopkeeper.

The expression on the face of the shopkeeper who was impatient just now changed immediately. Although he still couldn't get used to the face of a foreigner like Charlie, he still smiled and said to the waiter in the store, "Xiao Li, Come and take this guest to the upper room upstairs, and remember to deliver food to this guest."

A waiter in the store ran over with a smile on his face and a rag on his shoulder. When he saw Charlie beside Modiandian, he had various surprised expressions on his face, and kept staring at Charlie's face. Look, it was obviously the first time he saw a foreigner like Charlie, which made him feel quite strange.

Although the shopkeeper loves money and power a bit, he is still a good person. Seeing the waiter's performance, his face was quite dull, and he patted the table with a straight face, "What are you doing, what are you looking at? Staring at others What are the guests looking at, why don't you hurry up and take people upstairs to the room, and hurry up to deliver food to the guests."

The shopkeeper completely ignored the fact that when he saw Charlie for the first time, he couldn't stop staring at him again and again.

But Charlie is obviously used to the process of being surrounded by people.For him, finding a nice place to live already made him feel very happy.

He happily thanked Mo Dian, "Oh, thank you so much, my friend, if it weren't for you, I would probably be miserable tonight. By the way, I don't know your name yet, can you tell me your name? "

Mo DianDian told him his pseudonym very straightforwardly, "My name is Dian Mo, you can just call me Dian Mo."

With a hearty smile on his face, Charlie read Dianmo's name once, and got a response from Mo Diandian.

Before he wanted to leave, Mo DianDian stopped him.

"Charlie, you just said that you are a big businessman from a foreign country, so you should have brought a lot of things here."

That's right, Modiandian helped Charlie at the beginning, not because of bad intentions, but more because she saw greater value in Charlie, a foreigner.

To Modiandian, who was willing to help him, Charlie gave him 12 points of kindness.

He smiled cheerfully and said, "Of course, I came to the capital of Daqing to do business. I already have my own shops in other places. It is also my first time to come to Daqing. I don’t have too many things on me, but Dianmo, what do you want?”

Mo Diandian nodded without hesitation, "Actually, I was looking for something called a pocket watch. I saw it on your body, so I want to ask, do you still have such a pocket watch on your body? I want to buy one. "

Charlie took out his pocket watch from his chest. The pocket watch was covered with complicated patterns, with the simple and precious feeling unique to the ancient European period. He opened the cover of the pocket watch, and under the delicate watch case, the moving hands .

Dots of ink stared at such an exquisite pocket watch.

This is a real mechanical watch, and it is the one with the simple and mysterious European pattern that she was most fond of. It doesn't look too good-looking.

It's just that modern mechanical watches are too expensive, and cheap ones are too rough, so she has never had the opportunity to buy such a pocket watch.

Charlie spread out his pocket watch in front of Mo Dian and said, "This is what you mean?"

Mo nodded, not hiding his love for this kind of pocket watch.

Charlie readily took out another pocket watch from his body and handed it to Mo Diandian, "This pocket watch is relatively small and easy to carry, so I brought an extra piece, and now I just give it to you. Thank you, you are the first watch in the Qing Dynasty. People who help me."

Mo Dian was not pretentious at all, he insisted on performing the kind of drama of stuffing money in the street with him, so he readily accepted the pocket watch with raised eyebrows.

She smiled at Charlie. "Thanks then."

As they looked at each other, both of them had cheerful smiles on their faces. As for what they were thinking in their hearts, I'm afraid only they knew.

As a big businessman, Charlie, a pocket watch can be regarded as an aristocratic item in their country, and the price is naturally not cheap, but he readily gave Mo DianDian.

Is the reason really because he wants to thank Mo DianDian?Maybe there is part of the reason, but more, it is because he likes Mo Diandian, who is from the Qing Dynasty, he speaks fluent English, and since he lives at the foot of the capital, he is dressed in silk. , the status is definitely not low.If such a person with a high status is picked up, it might be his opening to open up business in the capital.

As long as a gap is opened, is he afraid that there will be no money to make?

As a shrewd businessman, he deeply understands the truth that children cannot be tied to wolves.

Mo DianDian certainly understands Charlie's thoughts, so she picks things up without any burden in her heart.

Anyway, she is not at a loss, and besides, she is not without other ideas when approaching Charlie.

　A worker who doesn't want to be a big businessman is not a good student. ╮(╯▽╰)╭
