Chapter 1284: Entering the capital of Suzaku Kingdom
As for the wanted notice on the city wall that didn't even have a face on it, Qi Baoer showed his face to them and compared it, but they couldn't make a conclusion.
As for Patriarch Xuanqing, Ghost Emperor-level Ah Piao, being invisible is not a trivial matter?!
So, one person and one person floated, oh, no, it was one person and two floats. Crown Prince Renyin came back, and he followed Qi Baoer just before he entered the city; this person and two persons floated in so openly and leisurely.
to the capital city of Suzaku Kingdom.
Due to the topography of the Suzaku Kingdom, there are few woods and strong winds. Fortunately, there is not much sandy land, otherwise the environment alone would be quite harsh;
Therefore, the houses in Suzaku Kingdom are basically not built with high-rise buildings, and the same is true in the capital. There is no building higher than the second floor in the entire capital, and the tops are all round in design.
It may be for this reason that the capital of the Suzaku Kingdom looks a lot bigger than the capital of the Qilin Kingdom. After all, the inn in the Qilin Kingdom has four or five floors, and there is only one floor here.
Qi Baoer chose an inn that he heard on the street was the best in the capital - Tongfu Tower. He didn't know why this first floor was given the name "Tongfu Tower".
She is now dressed as a man, and has set up a little magic circle for herself. To outsiders, she is a relatively good-looking but not outstanding, not very expensive young man. There is no one around to serve her, so she is at best a '
Supermarket free' kind.
No, the waiter in the inn was not very enthusiastic when he saw her coming in. The waiter came out lazily with no enthusiasm on his face, and his tone was quite perfunctory:
"Sir, are you planning to stay or have a meal? If you want to stay, please come here. If you want to eat, please stay next door."
Although the waiter sounded like a government official, his attitude towards welcoming guests was still on point. He pointed out the location next door to Qi Bao'er, "It's the one next door to ours. Sir, if you want to have a meal, you need to be early. Our inn business
Okay, it will be full as soon as the meal comes. If you go late, there will be no seats."
At the end of the sentence, he sounded quite proud and held his neck high, as if this inn belonged to him.
Crown Prince Renyin, who was floating in the air, muttered dissatisfiedly, "A dog's eyes look down upon others."
However, Qi Baoer didn't care about the waiter's attitude and took out a five-tael silver coin and handed it over, "Are there any guest rooms?"
Five taels?
The waiter's attitude improved slightly, but he still took the money without raising his eyes. He turned around and led the way back and asked: "There have been a lot of people coming to Beijing from other places recently, and the guest rooms are almost full.
There are only two rooms left, one is a standard room for one tael of silver per night, and one is a superior room, which costs three taels of silver per night. I wonder which room you are going to book?"
Not to mention that the two Ah Piao were shocked by the house price, and Qi Bao'er almost slipped on her feet.
This is no longer ordinary expensive, is it a steal?
But Qi Bao'er had just opened his eyes and looked at the life of the waiter in front of him. He really didn't 'rob', but the accommodation fee was the price of staying in an inn in the capital city of Suzaku Kingdom in recent years.
The waiter is of a low level and doesn’t know much. What he knows is that starting from the second year after King Feng returned to the capital, the prices of everything in the capital began to rise, including the prices of inns and meals, as well as their
The wages of these waiters.
No wonder she took out five taels of silver and the waiter's eyes were unremarkable and not surprising at all.
This time, Qi Baoer took out a banknote worth one hundred taels and handed it over, "I want the upper room."
I don’t remember which prefect or county magistrate’s private treasury this bank note was ‘borrowed’ from.
Seeing the hundred taels of silver notes, the waiter's attitude changed 180 degrees this time. He immediately smiled and nodded enthusiastically, "Young master, you can tell by his demeanor that he must be a noble person, and he is designated to live there."
The one who went to bed."
Qiang Qiang slapped his lips without any politeness at all, "Young man, don't talk about the standard room. It's all your fault. It's just dirtying your ears, young master."
Two Ah Piao in the air: "......???"
Strong, awesome.
Qi Baoer also twitched the corners of his eyes several times, "Lead the way."
"Yes, yes, sir, please come with me."
The waiter, whose waist was not straight the whole time, guided Qi Bao'er to the only empty upper room with great respect. Qi Bao'er was not stingy either, and gave him a reward of ten taels of silver and asked him to prepare a meal.
In an inn, most guests just ask the waiter to prepare the food without asking the price, which means that the extra food is given to the waiter.
Food is also expensive in the capital, but it is absolutely unnecessary to prepare a meal of ten taels. One or two taels is enough, and the waiter can get a reward of 708 taels of silver for this trip.
But what made him happy was that he became more and more flattering and nodded and bowed for a while before leaving.
After setting up the soundproof cover, Patriarch Xuanqing was able to speak out quickly, "Xiao Bao'er, this inn is just a shady hotel, why are you still staying in it?"
Prince Renyin also agreed with Patriarch Xuanqing's words, but he looked at Qi Baoer from a different angle than Patriarch Xuanqing. Patriarch Xuanqing looked at the younger generation, while Prince Renyin looked at his savior who was stronger than him.
In the heart of Prince Renyin, Qi Baoer is almost synonymous with omnipotence and the agent of the word resourceful and demonic; even if she does things that seem unreliable, she must have a plan.
So, he floated to Qi Bao'er and asked curiously: "Did the prince notice that there was something wrong with this inn and lurk in here?"
When Patriarch Xuanqing heard this, his eyes immediately changed from doubt to curiosity.
"If you don't ask any questions, please tell me. This inn is really not a black shop. Prices in the capital city of the Suzaku Kingdom had problems a few years ago. Everything is ridiculously high."
While Qi Bao'er was 'watching' Xiao Er's past, he had some doubts as to why the economy of the Suzaku Kingdom hadn't collapsed yet.
"Usually, the buying and selling prices don't change much, but the consumption in hotels, restaurants and tea houses has doubled."
Take Tongfu Tower as an example. Tongfulou Tower is divided into three parts, occupying most of the street. The tea shop is on the left, the inn is in the middle, and the restaurant is on the right. They are collectively called Tongfulou Tower.
In a tea shop, the lowest-quality large bowl of tea used to cost one penny a bowl, but now it costs ten pence a bowl;
This kind of large bowl of tea is brewed with tea foam and then the residue is removed and put in a large pot. There is an open reading booth in the teahouse. There is only one wall. On the other side of the wall, there is a table more than one meter high from the ground.
Every night, they would read stories on the stage. The other three sides had no walls, only three pillars fixing the roof. Usually when it was time for storytelling, many people would gather below and listen to the books. This big bowl of tea was specially made for these people.
The people who listened to the book offered it.
Not to mention the expensive ones, the price has already increased eight to ten times.
The inn, Tongfu Building has only three types of guest rooms, lower rooms, standard rooms, and upper rooms.
The lower room is not a room, but a big bunk that can sleep nearly a hundred people. In the past, it only cost a few cents a night, but now, a bed in a big bunk costs up to a hundred cents.
Location, the one near the window with good ventilation will cost extra;
In the past, a standard room only cost 50 cents a night, and a hotel room only cost 200 cents.
The first two are outrageous, but compared to the rest of the restaurants, they are quite conscientious.
At the restaurant, a steamed bun costs a penny, so you can have a casual meal. If you don't have four or five taels of silver, don't even think about going out.
You have to eat better, eat better, and it is no joke to spend thousands of taels of silver on a meal.
