Early the next morning, everyone gathered in the private room where they had been yesterday. The restaurant provided soup buns for breakfast, which everyone ate deliciously.
Dowling told everyone what happened last night and wanted to ask for everyone's opinions.
"You are so brave. You dare to eavesdrop in the face of the King of Xie Zang Society. Fortunately, nothing happened last night. Otherwise, what would you have asked us to do?" Taishi Xingwei was angry at Daolin and Su Chen for the first time.
And this time he was really angry.
"Master, please calm down. We didn't expect the other party to find us. Fortunately, nothing happened, so don't get angry in a hurry." Dolin apologized while licking his face.
"Hey, what you asked me to say is really audacious." Taishi Xingwei sighed and said.
"Master, we are now deciding whether to go to the Emerald City or not?" Dolin scratched his head and said sheepishly.
"Go, why don't you go?" Taishi Xingwei patted the table lightly and said.
The threat to his apprentices made him feel a sense of urgency, and he really wanted to fulfill his duties as a teacher.
After dinner, Dorian went to settle the bill. For dinner, bed and breakfast, the fourteen people spent a total of less than a hundred taels of silver.
The convoy left the restaurant and did not stop in Hezhou County. It set off from the East Gate and headed straight for the Emerald City.
Hezhou County is actually not far from Emerald City and can be reached in one morning.
At noon, the motorcade that had not stopped all the way finally arrived at the foot of the Emerald City.
"Wow, this Emerald City is indeed well-deserved." Dolin sighed as he looked at the huge city in front of him.
"This is my first time here, and it looks really good." Qingjiu nodded and sighed.
"You need to pay a registration fee to enter the city, and the vehicle in front will pull over for inspection."
At the gate of the city, a group of soldiers in bright armor shouted.
The convoy stopped by the roadside, and the soldiers came up to check the carriages one by one. After confirming that they were correct, they paid fourteen taels of entry fee and then let them go.
The Emerald City is divided into six districts, with 120 streets, a permanent population of 120,000, and a garrison of 30,000.
Carriages were driving on the streets, and many restaurants and hotels were already overcrowded.
"This restaurant is full, let's go to the next one. We have to find a place to stay today." He said as he walked out of a restaurant helplessly after quitting drinking.
"Then let's go to the most expensive one." Daolin frowned, shook the reins and headed towards the center of the city.
Shenglong Restaurant.
The most luxurious and extravagant restaurant in Emerald City, the average daily consumption per person is more than one hundred taels.
"Please go inside, do you want to stay at the hotel or at the hotel?" The doorman in brocade clothes came out to greet me and asked.
"We're staying in the hotel, take care of the carriage." The fourteen people filed in. The doorman handed the customers over to the store clerk and then returned to the door to fetch the carriage.
It is indeed the most luxurious restaurant in the Emerald City. His backyard is very large, with one courtyard after another. There are more than 100 rooms in total and it covers an area of dozens of acres.
There are three rooms in a courtyard. The fourteen of them ordered two apartments with opposite doors in total. Fourteen people can live in them even if they squeeze in.
Looking at the room that was larger than the two previous rooms in Hezhou County combined, Dolin suddenly felt that the money was worth spending.
"One hospital is two hundred taels a day, and two homes is four hundred taels a day. We will stay here for at least three days, and the accommodation fee alone will cost more than a thousand taels." Mo Ran said with some distress.
"One thousand taels is just our income for a day, or even half a day's income to be precise. You feel so sorry for me." Chen Feng slapped Mo Ran and mocked.
"That's what I said, but it also hurts." Mo Ran complained as he cleaned himself up and saluted.
"Be content, you have a place to live. If you didn't live in this other restaurant, you wouldn't even have a room." Daolin smiled and patted Mo Ran on the shoulder to comfort him.
"Why is it so popular here?" Mo Ran nodded and asked.
"The Chinese New Year has just passed, and merchants need to stock up on goods. Many merchants have even come here years ago and are spending the Chinese New Year here just to make some money." Qin An said with a helpless smile.
"You won't go home during the New Year?" Now it was Dorian's turn to be shocked.
"Of course, when you think it's easy for those wealthy businessmen, it's not easy at all for them. In order to make money, they paid a price that others couldn't pay, and suffered hardships that others couldn't endure." Qin An explained with a sigh.
"It's not that simple." Bai Luo prepared a bottle of potion and was pouring it in various rooms. He said it was for disinfection.
"Of course it's not easy. It's not easy in all walks of life. Take Daolin as an example. He has to cook a lot of meals every day. We have to welcome all kinds of guests every day. It's not easy." Qin An took off.
Shoes lay on the bed and sighed.
By the time they finished cleaning the room, it was already afternoon.
Fourteen people locked the door and left the restaurant in a grand manner.
"Where should we go?" Mo Shishi looked particularly excited, as did the other two girls. After all, they are girls and have natural potential for shopping.
"In the Emerald City, we must first visit the jade market and try to buy one for everyone." Dolin said with a big wave of his hand.
Walking down the street, both sides of the road are lined with jade shopfronts. Each shopfront is full of customers, and there is no need for waiters to solicit customers at the door.
"This one looks pretty good, should we go in and take a look around first?" Daolin asked, standing at the door of a restaurant called Yufuju.
A group of people nodded at the same time, and walked into Yufuju with the mentality of not turning around.
There are many customers inside Yufuju, all choosing their favorite samples in front of the counter.
"What do you customers want to see? Our store has all kinds of jadeite, precious stones and rare treasures." Facing a group of people buying the goods, the store owner immediately came over.
"Let's take the three ladies to take a look." Daolin was a little uncomfortable and directly pushed Qianxue and the three girls to the front and said.
The three girls were not polite and went directly to the store to pick out what they liked.
The rest of the people were also led to the rest area by the shopkeeper, who also enthusiastically provided tea for them to taste.
"Don't you want anything?" Dorian asked while drinking tea.
"Forget it, these stones are really not attractive to me. I still have money to buy something useful when I participate in the auction." Qin An was the first to reply.
His words resonated with others. Men are indeed not very interested in jade and jade, and these jade and jade are not as attractive to men as gold and silver.
Dorian also agreed with what they said. After all, he didn't like these things in his previous life. He couldn't afford them in this life and couldn't afford them in his previous life.
"I took a fancy to this thing first. Why do you want to grab it? Do you have the quality?"
While they were drinking tea and chatting, Qianxue's voice came out from the crowd, instantly attracting the attention of the other Twelve Jue.
"I didn't expect to get into trouble even when visiting a jade shop. Brothers are here, let's go and have a look." Dolin drank the tea in one gulp, put down the cup and stood up.
