Space at hand: Pick up a prince to farm

Chapter 558: Does the seller seek glory?

"These people must have just arrived from out of town. I just don't know if the master allowed these people to live here or something. The way they eat, I guess they will cry today."

"Isn't that right? These tables cost over a thousand taels. Even if you have money, you won't waste it like this. Wouldn't it be better to keep it to buy food?"

"Don't worry so much, just eat your own food."

While several people were discussing, another person at the table interrupted them.

It took a few people to realize that there were some things they really couldn't say.

Fortunately, those people were all eating meat and didn't notice them at all.

The extra wine and food came quickly, and because there was something in their stomachs, they didn't taste the same as before, so they began to savor it carefully.

Anyway, there was nothing to do now. After eating, they would stay in the inn, so they just ate here leisurely.

"Cang Xiuxuan's new city looks really good. If it weren't for the emperor's orders, I really wouldn't want to leave. Thinking about it, our lives in the palace are not so easy now."

After taking another sip of wine, I started to pay less attention to someone talking.

Their boss was relatively sober. When he heard this, he gave him a cold look and said, "Don't let me hear such words again next time, especially don't let such words spread to the emperor, otherwise it will be I can’t protect you either.”

People like them who are close to the emperor know how much the emperor hates Cang Xiuxuan. If the people around them think that Cang Xiuxuan's place is better than his palace, then they may want to go on a killing spree. .

With this reminder from the boss, they are also smart.

"Boss, I deserve to die."

After saying that, he slapped himself several times without any effort.

How could they have forgotten the emperor's attitude towards the King of Qi? They broke out in a cold sweat when they recalled those people who had been dealt with in private by them because they had said good things about Cang Xiuxuan.

"Never do this next time, eat quickly and leave after eating."

After that, everyone said nothing and continued eating.

They also knew that there would never be another day like this before they left.

After all the food on the table was eaten, the boss called the waiter to pay the bill.

"Little Er, check out."

The waiter walked past Li with a smile on his face and said, "Hello, sir, you have spent a total of 370 and [-] taels of silver. Our store only accepts cash."

"How many!"

When they heard the price, everyone jumped in shock.

More than 300 taels of silver, just one meal!

They are not eating meat at all, they are eating money!
"Are you looking at us as foreigners and robbing us?"

They will never take the money. Since this store wants to do this, don't blame them for being rude.

After saying this, everyone stood up, surrounded the waiter, and looked at him fiercely.

If it develops as they want, the waiter should be scared right now.

But the result was contrary to what they expected. Not only was the waiter not frightened, he still looked at them with a smile.

"The words of this guest officer are not pleasant to listen to. Everything in this world is expensive. Take a look at it. Where else can we give you meat to eat? And let you eat so happily. ?The price is just this much. If you think it is too much, I can give you the details."

The waiter's reaction made everyone squint.

Is this really just a waiter?
If he were somewhere else, let alone the waiter, even the court official would have been frightened when he saw them like this. He could still stand in front of them and explain so calmly! ! !

"Who is the owner of your restaurant?"

Xu glanced at the waiter, then turned to look at the shopkeeper. The smiles on their faces never disappeared, making it seem like they could only smile.

Could it be that their master is the traitor Cang Xiuxuan?

If it is really him, then these people do have the confidence.

That also proves that today’s price is a ripoff.

However, the answer they got was not what they wanted, "Our master is Miss Song, and the Shiwei Pavilion is Miss Song's property. It was like this when we were in Dayong, and it is still like this now when we come here."

Others may not know Song Chen, but it is impossible for them not to know.

This Song Chen was already considered a very magical existence in the hearts of their Imperial Guards. They had heard all the legends about her, and had also participated in some previous plans against Song Chen.

"Just now, how much did the guests at that table over there spend?"

Someone asked, pointing to another table that was already being cleared.

The shopkeeper came over with an abacus and said with a smile, "The guests at that table ordered a total of three dishes and four bowls of rice. According to the price in our store, the three dishes are 60 taels of silver and the rice is 40 taels of silver. The total is 100 taels." Two pieces of silver."

The shopkeeper settled the account very quickly.

When the people here heard that a table was charging 100 taels, they felt a little more balanced. After all, their price was many times that of others, and they also added food and wine.

But the shopkeeper's next words made their faces turn as dark as the bottom of a pot. "100 taels of silver, because they have local household registration. According to our current measures, each person will first be exempted from 20 taels of silver, and then a subsidy of [-] taels of silver will be given to each person. Their table consumed a total of [-] taels of silver."

One exemption and one subsidy, that’s 90 taels!
"100 taels turned into ten taels, and you still say you are not ripping off customers!!!"

No one would believe this.

"No, no, we are charging according to the normal price. Because you are not locals and do not have local household registration, you cannot enjoy exemptions and subsidies. Please pay according to the bill."

Bill, please?

How can it be!

How could they give so much.

"We will give you 20 taels per table, don't think about anything else!"

With this number, they feel that they are being kind, after all, they have a lot of food.

"Don't even think about it? This... doesn't sound right. Since you won't settle the bill, I have to use extraordinary measures." After the shopkeeper said this, his expression changed and he shouted to the back, "Quickly go to the city lord's mansion and report it. .”

After saying that, he turned to them and said, "In our city, if someone wants to eat the Overlord's meal, the city lord's palace will directly send people to arrest them. At that time, it will not be as simple as just giving out the more than 300 taels previously. You outsiders It’s better not to be too arrogant.”

"City Lord? This is ridiculous. Just go and see if we are afraid."

So they didn't leave, just waiting for them to report. It happened that they were very frustrated these days. Now that someone was helping them have fun, how could they miss it.

The shopkeeper didn't say anything else. He just ordered the people below to stop entertaining guests and returned to his counter.

Why does the emperor of Dayong have such a bad taste?

The people around me are so ignorant.

They have no sense of what they are doing at all.

Well, let them see the depth of their new city today!

The people who went to the City Lord's Mansion came back very quickly, and soon they came with a group of people from the City Lord's Mansion, led by Su Ze.

Su Ze had known about the arrival of Da Rong for a long time. Cang Xiuxuan had asked him to wait before, but there had been no movement and he was still a little anxious. Now it was in his hands.

Seeing Su Ze from a distance, the shopkeeper greeted him and said, "I've met City Lord Su."

Su Ze nodded slightly, "What's going on?"

"If you go back to the city lord, these people want to eat the Overlord's meal."

Su Ze sneered, "Eat King's meal? Why are the people in our city so bold?"

The shopkeeper shook his head, "These people are not from our city, they are from outside."

Su Ze nodded understandingly, "Since it's from outside, there must be a misunderstanding. Have you made it clear to others?"

"City Lord, we made everything clear. They also asked about the consumption of other guests. We even told them about exemptions and subsidies, but they just didn't believe it."

In fact, Su Ze already knew what happened on the way here. He wanted to see their attitude by asking this question, but in the end, these people remained silent.

It's okay if you don't say anything. It's easier to just take him away.

"Come here, take all these people away."

Those who followed Su Ze all responded, "Yes, City Lord!"

Then they swarmed towards them. These people had never experienced this before, so they took action immediately.

Their kung fu was indeed good, but the people Su Ze brought over were not vegetarians. After a few rounds, they showed no sign of falling behind.

They also had to re-examine the people Su Ze brought here.

Suddenly someone realized, "Prime Minister Su's son actually became the lord of the city here. Fortunately, the emperor thought something had happened to Prime Minister Su, and he is still worried about it!"

This is extremely ironic.

Su Ze didn't care at all, "Are you your emperor? What does it have to do with me? My father is no longer Prime Minister Su, so please be careful what you say."

What his father hates most now is hearing others call him Prime Minister Su again.

He was indeed very loyal before, but what did he get in exchange for being more loyal?

In exchange, the emperor directly poisoned his son in order to make him more obedient.

"Oh, sellers seek glory, do you still think you are great?"

Su shrugged indifferently, "What kind of seller is seeking glory? I told you to be more careful when speaking. But our master has always been the same one? He has never changed."

This was Su Ze's explanation for them, "Will you give me your money today?"

"Shopkeeper, count these damaged things and add money."

The shopkeeper responded and started fiddling with the abacus again. Finally, he simply put the abacus away and said, "Look, they don't seem to have any money, so we won't count these things separately. I'll charge you a total of 500 taels of silver."
