I traveled through time and space and found a mute boy: That’s enough, I feel sorry for him

Chapter 135 Reinstall

During the meal, I had the honor of meeting Wu Yong’s parents and eating at the same table. I finally understood why Wu Yong was so enthusiastic and insisted on having him stay at home for dinner.

Xu Shu, who was shown such affection by Wu Yong's parents, finally understood the real reason why Wu Yong was so love-minded.

Feelings are inherited.

Xu Shu also thought it through. He would have to bring Mu Jinghua along when he wanted to eat for free in the future. Everyone in this world is in love. If he doesn't bring his wife along, he will easily be fed dog food and suffer a loss.

The food was quite good though. Apparently Wu Yong had asked his chef to follow the menu prepared by Xu Shu early in the morning, and he even carefully noted down Xu Shu's preferences.

Considering the pork tripe and chicken soup, Xu Shu reluctantly forgave Wu Yong for dragging him to eat his parents' dog food.

After lunch, Xu Shu was not in a hurry to leave. After drawing the mahjong cards on Wu Yong's side, he wrote out a detailed list of rules.

The world already had movable type printing, and if the requirements for paper and ink were not high, the price of books could be kept very low, but Xu Shu had no intention of saving that money.

He asked Wu Yong to find the best paper and ink and to ask a professional calligrapher to write the rules: "It is best to write them on large paper and frame them. This will be the facade of the mahjong hall in the future."

Wu Yong smiled and said, "Why not let Xiao Ran write it as well? He is a scholar and he must practice calligraphy."

Xu Shu couldn't help laughing: "You are after Master Xiao, and you are just catching a sheep to slaughter."

Wu Yong shrugged indifferently and said, "They are from wealthy families, they are fat sheep no matter how you look at them, how could they be afraid of us?"

Xu Shu was amused by him. It must be said that although Wu Yong was carefree, he was not stupid. After spending such a long time together, Xu Shu became more and more willing to make friends with him.

"I went to the gambling house today. Your brother-in-law's problem has been solved. Remember to let him take care of the gambling house's affairs."

Wu Yong responded, but he was a little puzzled: "Actually, I wanted to ask you yesterday. You asked Li Ziguang to go to the gambling house to investigate the turnover. Isn't that the same as sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth? Do you really believe that he won't continue gambling?"

"Of course I don't believe it." Xu Shu said with a smile, "I don't really want him to investigate the flow of water. He is just a tool to confuse the enemy."

"Fang Ru has already tasted the sweetness from me. If you were him, would you stop here, or would you try to seduce my unreliable cousin and continue to take advantage of me?"

"It must be the latter. Besides, the guy surnamed Fang is a gambler. They are the ones who have the least self-control."

Xu Shu nodded: "So, their focus will be on Li Ziguang, making him owe as much land as possible."

"But if Li Ziguang owes us so much money, what will we use to pay him back?"

"Return?" Xu Shu couldn't help but sneer, "The gambling house is going to go bankrupt, and the title deed is in my hands. Who will have the final say then?"

"I understand, I understand, I understand." Wu Yong followed suit with a silly smile, then frowned again, "But how do you know that the gambling house is going to close down?"

“You’ll know once the mahjong parlor opens.”

Wu Yong shook his head: "That's a bit far-fetched. Gambling is addictive, you know that? How can you just stop doing it?"

"Then do you know why gambling is addictive?"

Wu Yong was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know."

However, Xu Shu kept it a secret and refused to tell him more, then turned and left.

Xu Shu went to Muyi Building again, this time for business. Although he followed his selfish desires and went to see Mu Jinghua first, he was just satisfying his eyes. Seeing that Mu Jinghua was seriously learning the skills from the chef, he didn't even say a word.

He stood outside, watched quietly for a while, then turned around and went upstairs to talk to the decorator about the situation.

Yichun Building has a total of five floors, with about 20 rooms on each floor. Except for the top floor, the other four floors are hollow in design, which makes it convenient for guests in private rooms to see the singing and dancing performances in the hall.

When Muyi Building was renovated, Xu Shu dismantled the stage in the center of the hall and replaced all the tables in the hall on the first floor with the most common square tables in a restaurant.

But this did not mean that he would cancel the performance. Xu Shu moved the new performance venue to the third floor, in the middle room on the third floor.

He asked the craftsmen to remove the doors and windows, set up a stage in the house, set up lights, equip it with mechanisms, and even install several paper speakers.

He also thought about the location on the third floor for a long time before deciding on it. From this location, people on the lower floors can hear but cannot see, while people on the same floor can hear and see, but their viewing experience is not as good as that of people on higher floors.

This is a threshold.

The price in the hall is the cheapest, and the price in the private rooms increases. The higher the floor, the more the price increases. As for the fifth floor, there are private rooms, which are only used to entertain friends.

But if you have such a design but can only use it for eating, it would be a bit boring.

So Xu Shu added a mahjong table and a series of other games in the private room. Referring to what he saw at Xiao Ran's house at that time, he got a lot of things that literati and elegant people liked to play with.

Most craftsmen had never seen these things, and Xu Shuguang spent a lot of effort explaining them to them.

After explaining everything clearly, it was almost time to go home. Xu Shu walked downstairs to find Mu Jinghua. Just after he took two steps, a girl ran towards him.

The movements were very immature, and the intention was obvious. Xu Shu dodged to the side and avoided a girl who threw herself into his arms.

The man was a bit unlucky, because when he turned the corner of the stairs, he didn't fall into Xu Shu's arms, but hit the corner of the stairs directly. He screamed in pain, and then looked at Xu Shu aggrievedly.

"Mr. Xu."

Xu Shu hummed, without even looking at the man, and just said, "You don't need to come tomorrow."

After saying that, he unexpectedly saw Mu Jinghua standing at the end of the stairs, staring at him straightly, with no joy or sadness on his face, which made Xu Shu's heart tighten.

"Little Hibiscus." Xu Shu called him softly, a little nervously.

Fortunately, Mu Jinghua smiled at him and didn't seem angry, so Xu Shu quickly changed his mind: "Are you hungry? Let's go to Wu Yong Restaurant for a meal?"

Mu Jinghua naturally had no objection. He smiled at Xu Shu and shook his sleeve.

Xu Shu then put his arm around his waist, took him downstairs, and asked him if he was tired from learning how to cook with the chef today.

Mu Jinghua responded while looking back calmly, and saw the girl who was planning to seduce Xu Shu staring at him viciously.

When the man met his eyes, he was so frightened that he trembled violently and took half a step back.

Mu Jinghua curled his lips and smiled at her.
