"Brother Mouse, you are wrong. I have already embroidered 80 bellybands, why don't I get any reward?"
Chen Ke sat in front of the window, his hair was messy, his eyes were redder than a rabbit's, and he said angrily.
He spent three days and three nights embroidering seventy bellybands in one go, but did not receive any reward.
He had already finished three bottles of the low-grade mind-concentrating pills.
Isn't it infuriating?
Seeing that Mouse ignored him, Chen Ke shouted angrily:
"Do you know what people outside are calling me now?!"
Chen Ke became furious when he thought of the two shopkeepers who had just come to visit him.
I don't know who was so gossipy that he spread the news of his embroidered bellyband.
This has become a joke.
Chen Ke drank the bird's nest porridge in one breath, put down the bowl, and looked at Tie Niu nervously.
Tie Niu was collecting the empty bottles of Ning Shen Dan, shaking his head like a rattle: "It's not me, it's not me!"
Chen Ke looked at Lichun and Liqiu who were arranging flowers. The two maids were terrified and waved their hands repeatedly: "It's not me, it's not me."
"What are you talking about? It's so lively?"
The door was pushed open, and several young men in fancy clothes strode in carrying gift boxes of different sizes.
The leading young man was tall and thin, with tender skin and flesh, thin eyebrows and eyes, and a large hibiscus flower pinned on his ear.
He was wearing a green gown with big flowers embroidered on it, and he looked like a sissy no matter how you looked at him.
The other two were also dressed brightly, with slicked-back hair and powdered faces, exuding a sinister aura.
Lichun and Liqiu stepped forward and saluted:
"Greetings, Master Ma, Master Long, and Master Zhang."
As they spoke, the two of them took the gifts from everyone's hands and placed them on the table beside them.
Several young men smiled indifferently and walked up to Chen Ke to ask about his well-being.
Ma Xiaoshu, the young man with flowers in his hair, deliberately asked in confusion: "Xiao Ke, I heard that you fell in love with an old woman and learned how to embroider?"
Chen Ke said angrily: "Get lost, you are the one who fell in love with the old lady!"
A few bad friends covered their mouths and laughed.
Of course they didn't believe it, but it was funny in itself that Chen Ke was involved in such rumours.
Ma Xiaoshu had a cunning eye. She picked up an unfinished bellyband from the bed and looked at Chen Ke in surprise, saying,
"Can you really embroider? Could it be that a young lady has gotten into your skin?"
Chen Ke rolled his eyes and said, "You're half right, there's no young lady, but there is a big guy who picks his toes."
Ma Xiaoshu took the bellyband and praised it in admiration:
"This embroidery is really amazing. Xiaoke, how about selling it to me? Ten taels of silver for one bellyband."
Ten taels of silver?!
Lichun and Liqiu were shocked. The bellyband made of the best material and with the best embroidery on the market only cost one or two taels of silver each.
The bellyband embroidered by the young master could actually be sold for ten taels of silver!
The two looked at the young master nervously, really afraid that the young master would turn down the business as soon as he opened his mouth.
Chen Kecai wasn't that stupid. He looked at Ma Xiaoshu coldly and asked,
"Do you really want it?"
Ma Xiaoshu raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course, if you have any, give it to me. I want as many as you can get!"
According to his estimation, even if Chen Ke did not eat or sleep, he would be lucky enough to embroider three or five bellybands in three or four days.
He bought them all and gave one to each of the loudest-mouthed girls in the academy, hahahaha.
Ma Xiaoshu was very happy. Usually Chen Ke always teased him, and now it was finally his turn to tease Chen Ke.
Ma."
Chen Ke sighed helplessly and said to Lichun Liqiu, "Go, get the bellyband for Master
yeah!
The two maids cheered, and in a blink of an eye, they appeared in front of Ma Xiaoshu holding two large stacks of bellybands.
Ma Xiaoshu was stunned.
Damn, so many?!
Lichun's head popped out from the side of her high bellyband, her face flushed, "Master Ma, there are eighty bellybands in total, which means eight hundred taels of silver
in total!"
More, how much?
Eight hundred taels of silver?!
The corners of Ma Xiaoshu's mouth twitched, and his expression was uglier than
crying.
Eight hundred taels of silver, even his monthly pocket money added together might not be that much.
This is too much of a rip-off!
The two friends looked at Ma Xiaoshu with sympathy and said, "Don't be sad. You have dug this hole yourself and you have to jump into it with tears in your eyes."
Chen Ke said to Lichun, "Lichun, Master Ma may not have brought so much silver. You can go back with Master Ma later and bring back the banknotes."
Lichun is young and dares to bully anyone when she gets angry. Even she is afraid of herself when she loses her temper.
If the honest Tie Niu were to go, he would blush after just a few words and wouldn't get a penny back.
Chen Ke glanced at Ma Xiaoshu, whose face was distorted, and said in surprise:
"Xiaoshu, your father is the vice president of the Shuzhou Chamber of Commerce after all. He can't be unable to take out 800 taels of silver, right?"
Lichun also scratched his head and said with a puzzled look:
"Yes, I haven't heard about the Ma family's bankruptcy."
Ma Xiaoshu's face flushed red, and he had internal injuries from holding it in.
"Haha, you are worthy of being the little prince in the bellyband. You are so cruel!"
Ma Xiaoshu gritted his teeth and strode away.
His followers walked in quickly and carried out eighty bellybands.
Lichun followed Ma Xiaoshu out of the door and went straight to the Dragon Gate.
Soon, she came back cheering, holding a bag of banknotes.
Li Qiu hurried forward. The two little money-grubbers held the silver bills in their hands, and started counting them one by one with stars in their eyes.
Eighty bellybands in three days means eight hundred taels of silver in revenue, eight thousand taels in thirty days, and eighty thousand taels in three hundred days.
Oh my God, an annual income of one hundred thousand taels!
He is worthy of being called the little prince of bellyband!
Lichun looked at Chen Ke with admiration: "Master, from now on, all the bellybands
you sew will be sold to Master Ma, okay?"
Chen Ke said angrily: "Sell it, why not sell it, sell it all to him!"
Ma Xiaoshu, that bastard, will definitely distribute his bellybands all over the world. He even wants to hang bellybands on the flagpoles on the city walls so that the demon tribe can also broaden their horizons.
But this little ridicule is nothing. You underestimate me too much. I have a mouse! After complaining, Chen Ke picked up the needle and thread and continued to embroider the bellyband.
Embroidery actually has many benefits. It allows you to focus and exercise your hand- eye coordination as well as your mental strength.
The key is that it can be sold to Ma Xiaoshu at a ten times premium.
Well, his grandfather in his previous life often told him that it was not shameful to
make a living by cooking.
Chen Ke always felt that Mouse had ignored him for so long because he might be
holding back a big move.
If I complete a hundred bellybands, the reward should come, right?
With this idea in mind, Chen Ke's men moved faster.
At noon, he finally finished the 100th bellyband.
Putting down his needle and thread, Chen Ke rubbed his sore wrist and looked at the
window with anticipation.
bite!
"Congratulations, you have completed your 100th embroidery work. Your embroidery skills have been upgraded from entry level to mastery level.
Your mental power limit has been increased by 50 points, and you will be awarded 30 points of mental power limit!"
An electric current ran through Chen Ke's body, and suddenly, his wrists and fingers became more flexible.
Chen Ke was very happy. His embroidery skills had improved from "entry level" to
"mastery", and his flexibility had naturally also increased.
His spirits also continued to lift.
It's like being drunk, and as the alcohol evaporates, the mind starts to become clearer and clearer.
Invisibly, his senses and spiritual perception were also enhanced.
This should be due to the increase in the upper limit of mental power.
