Chapter 464: Coercion and forced drinking
Not far in front of Hu Shanrong, he saw a jar of wine knocked over to the ground. Ceramic fragments and the wine inside were scattered all over the floor. You could also smell the aroma of old wine, indicating that this was a jar of high-quality wine.
.
There was a girl next to her, who was obviously a maid in this tavern from the way she was dressed. She fell to her knees at a loss and kept saying "I'm sorry". She hurriedly picked up the pieces with her hands, but she was trembling with fear.
In addition, the broken ceramics were very sharp, and the small white hands were quickly cut with cuts, and the dripping blood was mixed with the wine.
The administrator of Lulin City secretly looked at Hu Shanrong. Seeing that the distinguished guest looked unhappy, he stood up and walked to the trembling girl. He grabbed her hair with one hand and pointed to the broken wine jar on the ground: "Do you know how much this wine costs?
?”
The girl's face was very delicate, and she looked like a trembling deer caught by a hunter. Faced with the chief executive's questioning, she was so frightened that she did not dare to say anything.
"I ask you, are you pretending to be mute here? Huh? Huh? Huh?" Every time the administrator said "yes", he slapped the girl on the head. Just by hearing the muffled sound, you could tell that the slap was very hard. Every time the administrator slapped the girl, she would be shocked.
Trembling with pain.
In full view of the public, the girl was slapped more than a dozen times in a row, but she did not dare to lose her temper at all. Her tears fell like broken pearls, and she hunched her shoulders and said aggrievedly: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it. I'll pay you for it."
"Compensate?" The nobles around them burst into laughter as if they had heard some joke, and the administrator couldn't stop laughing either.
After he laughed, he slapped the girl on the head again, and his voice began to become colder: "Can you afford to pay?! This jar of wine cost me dozens of silver moons just for the various ingredients. After it is sealed, it will be stored in my house.
It has been stored in the cellar for ten years. I originally planned to open the altar and have a drink with Mr. Bao today, but now it has been ruined by you, a bitch!"
The administrator picked up a piece of ceramics, scooped up the spilled wine on the ground together with the dirty dirt, and put it to the girl's mouth, intending to stuff it in: "Come on, open your mouth, you are blessed today, and I will let you enjoy the good things."
, finish the wine on the floor, don’t waste it, let’s forget about it today.”
The wine in front of me was fragrant, but there were people coming and going in the tavern, and the floor had been stepped on by countless people's shoes, and there might have been traces of spitting, not to mention how disgusting it was.
The girl just came out to seek a living, but she was not without dignity. She pursed her lips tightly and struggled to resist the administrator, refusing to lie down and drink even after saying anything.
"You won't drink, right? Okay." The administrator threw away the tiles, clapped his hands and stood up. He looked at his colleague, the Lulin City Security Captain, and said calmly, "Captain Dirk, I observed carefully when I came in just now.
I came to this tavern, it lacks some supporting fire protection equipment, and the certificates hanging on the wall are not that complete. These things require you to pay more attention."
Dirk picked up the topic casually: "Fire is a big deal. Once a fire breaks out, it is very likely to cause a large number of casualties. Taverns without certificates are not allowed to operate. I will definitely pay attention to this matter."
The owner of the tavern was also drinking with this table of distinguished guests. He was frightened when he heard this and hurriedly begged: "Sir! I am a small business here and I am responsible for my own profits and losses. I just paid the rent for the shop not long ago and my funds are already empty.
Just waiting for the business to recover.
"If we close the store now, the rent will not be refunded, all kinds of food will be spoiled here, and the customer base will be lost, we can't afford it! Please be patient, I will definitely limit the fire protection equipment and various certificates.
Make it up within the deadline!”
Dirk put on a serious face and said in a very business-like tone: "According to the "Dogulland City Management Law", public operating places must be equipped with all safety equipment, and various licenses must not be missing, otherwise they will be ordered by the Public Security Department
Go out of business and impose a fine of 20% of the previous quarter’s turnover.”
"I also act according to the Code. If I am lenient to you, the Code will not be lenient to me."
At this time, the administrator stood up and spoke again. He patted the tavern owner on the shoulder. His soft tone was in sharp contrast to the serious Dirk: "I can understand the difficulties you businessmen have. If you really want to deal with it strictly in accordance with the code,
, it’s not just you, I’m afraid there aren’t many stores in Lulin City that can be absolutely qualified.”
"Everyone is trying to make a living, and we can understand if there are real difficulties. Sometimes, if the equipment is short of documentation, as long as it doesn't go too far, we can just turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye."
"But just because you are weak doesn't mean you are right. Your people spilled our wine first and made mistakes first. Then they have to pay back what they did wrong. Isn't this a problem?"
The boss didn't dare to say anything at this time. He just wanted to cater to Shangguan and get through this crisis. He nodded and lowered his eyebrows and said yes.
The administrator sighed softly and said in a magnanimous tone: "Well, I don't want to be too difficult for the little girl. Forget about beating and scolding, let's get some real compensation."
"The jar of wine I broke just now is worth 50 silver moons for its raw materials. It has been collected and fermented in the cellar for ten years. Its value has doubled. It is worth 100 silver moons. Come here, bring 10 large cups."
The guard brought 10 large cups, and the administrator opened bottles of spirits on the table, filled the 10 cups, placed them all on the table, smiled at the girl and said: "100 silver moons, 10 glasses of wine
, for every drink you drink, you will lose 10 silver moons."
"How much compensation you can subtract in the end depends entirely on you. If you can drink all 10 glasses of wine, then forget about it. I won't ask you to compensate for a single monthly coin. If you drink 10 glasses, you can still continue drinking.
, then not only will you not have to pay, I will also reward you with a silver moon."
"So, am I being generous enough to give you this opportunity?" The administrator said, and added, "Of course, if you can directly compensate me with 100 silver moons, you don't have to drink a cup."
The girl works as a waitress in a tavern, and her monthly salary is only 300 copper moons. Not to mention that it is impossible for her class to earn silver moons. Even if she converts those 100 silver moons, it is equivalent to 10,000 copper moons.
month, which is equivalent to three years’ salary. She had just started working and she couldn’t afford to lose it.
The girl looked at the 10 large glasses in front of her at a loss. This kind of wine glass is the largest size in the store. One cup can hold 2 liters of wine. They are all for the big men. The average person can drink 2 or 3 full glasses in one night.
Even a cup is awesome.
Now there are not only 10 full cups here, but they are all filled with the strongest wine. This means that the strongest man who drinks the most in Lulin City is here. Even if he drinks 10 cups, he will die here.
"Pa!" Just when the girl was at a loss, she was suddenly slapped on the head by the boss, which made her tremble.
The boss kept poking her head with his fingers and urged in a low voice: "Drink quickly! The administrator is trying to set you up, why don't you know what's good? With your little salary, if you really want to pay, you
