"It's actually a white radish!?"
Wang Lu opened his eyes wide, looking at the contents of his bowl in disbelief.
The dignified chief rich second generation of Wangjia Village, the peerless stalwart who cracked the 12-link task chain in Lingxi Town, had only one boiled radish for dinner!
Suspicious eyes turned to the book boy: "Do you want to be so frugal!?"
Wang Zhong was extremely wronged: "Master, you can't blame me for this, you will know when you go out and see for yourself, the price of this inn is crazy, a boiled radish costs ten taels of silver!"
Wang Lu was stunned for a while: "Ten taels is ten taels, we second-generation rich are not short of money."
"The problem is that the proprietress still has a purchase limit! One person is only allowed to buy one!"
"... Did you tell him that we are VIPs staying in the upper room?"
Wang Zhong nodded very vigorously and angrily: "Yes, otherwise she would ask for five hundred and two pieces!"
"Isn't that heavier than a carrot! The price of silver has plummeted to this point recently?"
Wang Zhong was indignant: "The proprietress made good calculations and thought everyone was a fool! Now the people in the lobby would rather be hungry than buy her radishes, not to mention her is not the only one selling food in the town!"
"Then you still buy these twelve taels of radishes? Do you really think we are not short of money?"
Wang Zhong continued to complain: "Prices in other places in the town have been pushed up long ago, and now gold and silver are like dirt, and radish at ten taels of silver is already considered the price of conscience."
Wang Lu frowned: "This conscience is not something to eat... I hate carrots the most."
Wang Zhong said angrily: "The young master won't eat, I will eat, but I am still hungry."
Wang Lu ignored the bookboy's complaint: "I want to eat meat."
"The radishes are five hundred taels, and the meat is probably five thousand taels a plate, but we have enough money to buy half a plate."
"Is that so..." Wang Lu pondered for a moment, looked down at the radish in the bowl, and suddenly asked, "Can the store sell this radish?"
Wang Zhong shrugged: "Of course you can't sell it, only a fool will buy it."
"In this case, our dinner is settled..." Wang Lu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help tapping his fingers on the table, his expression becoming more and more excited.
"Master?" Wang Zhong tilted his head, puzzled.
"Hmph, I probably have some meat to eat tonight."
After speaking, Wang Lu grabbed his bag, got up and went out.
—
In the lobby on the first floor, the proprietress behind the counter looked impatient.
More than a hundred white radishes were boiled in hot water in the back kitchen, and now not even a single one has been sold—except for the one that was sold at a cheap price of 12 taels. Although the princes and nobles in the inn are good-for-nothings, they are not stupid enough. Even if they have billions of dollars, no one will buy her conscience carrots.
From the perspective of cost, the loss of the pot of radishes in the back kitchen is very small, but the face of the proprietress of the Rujia Inn cannot be hurt. More importantly, a certain bet may be lost.
"Oh... so annoying!"
The proprietress stretched her waist long, and glanced at the lobby through her squinted eyes.
Tsk, that big guy from Canglan Kingdom is not here! Otherwise, you can sell him to buy dozens of them...
Just as he was considering whether to carry out a violent sale to the boys and girls in the lobby, there was a sound of footsteps coming down the stairs from upstairs.
The presence of the person made the proprietress's eyes brighten, and that Wang Lu who successively cracked the 12-link mission chain came again.
Seeing him, the proprietress couldn't help but want to laugh, especially when she remembered that the task chain that someone swore to be impossible to be cracked was dismantled by him, so the proprietress couldn't help laughing until her stomach ached.
Judging by Wang Lu's appearance, he probably planned to go downstairs, but it's a pity that there is no quest chain here anymore.
"Miss Boss, I'm here to buy radishes."
The proprietress smiled: "There is only one special offer."
"It's okay, I'll buy it at the original price."
Buy at the original price? The proprietress restrained her smile a bit: "How much do you want?"
"First come five, the bigger ones are needed."
"Bigger is more expensive."
"It's okay, it's not short of money."
"Okay, three thousand five hundred taels, pay first."
Without saying a word, Wang Lu threw all his belongings - more than a dozen banknotes of the Daming Kingdom of Cangxi Prefecture on the counter.
The proprietress waved her hand at Wang Lu: "I'll send it to you later, please go back."
Wang Lu didn't procrastinate, turned around and went upstairs. The proprietress then took the pile of bank notes and counted them slowly.
What an interesting person, no wonder he was able to crack the 12-link mission chain. His thinking was completely different from the group of useless nobility in the lobby. Someone who was considered a heretic on the mountain could probably find his kind.
The proprietress counted the money at a leisurely pace, and by the time the last one was counted, there were already a few more figures in front of the counter.
They are all servants or personal soldiers of the young masters, and they all have smiles on their faces, but the smiles are extremely unnatural.
"Miss Boss, I'm here to buy..."
"Miss Boss, your radishes..."
"My young master wants to..."
The proprietress didn't raise her head: "A thousand taels, how much do you want?"
The servants were taken aback: "Not five hundred taels?"
"The price has increased, whether you like it or not."
The servants turned back to ask their master in embarrassment, but without exception, they got affirmative answers.
If it is simply being blackmailed by others, it is a waste to spend an extra money, but if it can be exchanged for a sliver of immortality, tens of millions of taels of silver are just a piece of cake. Now it seems that the ridiculous price set by this strange inn has its own reasons, just like the unimaginable quest chain at the gate of the town.
In Lingxi Town, opportunities are everywhere, and the boys and girls in the lobby were hesitant to wait and see. Now when they saw someone taking the lead, they naturally followed in a swarm.
Even the wild man in the mountains can take out a few thousand taels of silver, and others can naturally get more.
"Then... buy two first?"
"I want five!"
"I want ten!"
"Damn, my young master has reserved the venue!"
Banknotes from various countries quickly piled up in front of the proprietress's counter. Not to mention the hundred radishes that were cooking in the back kitchen, even the next few pots were fully booked. This gang of princes and nobles doesn't have many other things, but they have a lot of money, so much that the proprietress is soft on some money.
It is naturally a happy event for a businessman to make a lot of money. The proprietress counts the tens of thousands of profits, facing a group of customers whose spending power is close to infinite, but the smile on her face is far less sincere than before.
"Oh, what a bunch of idiots."
This time, she said it very blatantly.
—
midnight.
Accompanied by the breeze outside the window, the slight purring sound is particularly eye-catching.
"Master, are you hungry?"
At one end of the room, Wang Zhong spoke softly. At the other end, the young master snorted angrily: "I'm not hungry."
"...Master, there is still half of the radish left and I didn't move it. If you are hungry..."
"I'd rather starve to death than eat radishes"
"Master, people are like iron and rice is steel..."
"Since you care about me so much, go outside and dig some wild vegetables, let's hunt wild boars."
"How could it be possible!?"
"Then shut up."
After Wang Lu finished speaking, he turned over and stopped talking. The book boy stopped talking, and also fell silent.
There are some words that cannot be said.
The young master smugly bet all his belongings, but now it seems that he didn't get the desired result - not to mention the chicken, duck and fish, even the five boiled radishes that were supposed to be sent were gone.
For the proud young master who has never been frustrated in doing things, this novel experience may not be pleasant, but... after all, he is not a member of the fairy family who is flying fairy and Yujian, and setbacks in life are inevitable.
The book boy shrugged slightly on the bed, thinking that it would not be a bad thing to teach the young master a lesson, otherwise he would really think that he is a heavenly root, different from all living beings in the world.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
The moment Wang Zhong was stunned, the young master got up and got out of bed.
Opening the door, the boss lady's pretty and delicate face was just outside the door, and then, two small hands were padded with towels, carrying a ridiculously large food box.
Standing in front of the door, Wang Lu chuckled and said, "Miss Boss, you are finally here."
The proprietress returned the same tacit smile: "I really feel sorry for the long wait... But there is no way, those idiots have ordered a whole hundred pots of radishes, and they have just finished cooking them, so... your dinner can only be delayed Slightly."
While speaking, the proprietress had already strode into the room, and put the heavy food box on the table. The food box was not opened, but a strong meaty smell that made the index finger cramp came.
Wang Lu couldn't wait to open the food box. The candlelight in the room was dim, but the little oily light dazzled people.
Wang Lu wiped his saliva while admiring: "The proprietress is really a believer...and a good believer."
The proprietress clapped her hands: "You helped me earn tens of millions of taels, so what is this little farming skill?"
Although the food box is large, the meals inside are also very ordinary, such as braised pork, stewed pork vermicelli, Mushu pork, chicken wing root...
But at this moment, even if you have a net worth of tens of millions, you can't get this box of farm handicrafts.
Wang Lu put the food in the sea bowl on the table one by one, and asked the book boy to share the food together. When the two of them were growing up, their fighting power was quite amazing. After a short time, they finished one-third of the food in the food box.
Wang Lu put down the bowls and chopsticks. Although his stomach swelled uncomfortably, he felt refreshed all over: "Miss Boss, take the rest back, don't waste it."
The proprietress raised her eyebrows: "What are you talking about? This is your food for the next week. I think it's a waste for you to overeat just now."
"... what week?"
The proprietress explained it as a matter of course: "There are still six days until the Immortal Ascension Conference, but you probably don't have any money with you? Don't save some food, you can only drink the northwest wind for the last few days."
Wang Lu was stunned for a long time before he asked incredulously, "Miss Boss, what do you mean? Shouldn't you be responsible for all our board and lodging?"
"Haha, how is it possible, you think too much."
"...Even if I don't care about the money I made for you, at least I paid 3,500 taels in real money just now. There's nothing wrong with that, right?"
The proprietress sneered: "With the price in the town now, you can buy this box of meals for 3,500 taels? Stop complaining and save some food. The leftover meals are enough for you to last for six days. Think about that A group of idiots have spent tens of thousands of taels of silver and can’t even eat radishes enough, at least you can eat meat until the last day.”
"..."
The proprietress suddenly thought of something: "Oh, by the way, after careful calculation, there is indeed some money left over from the money you gave me, so I will give it to you."
After a while, the proprietress bid farewell and left, and looking at the old copper plate left on the table, Wang Lu couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
