Chapter 145: The price of porridge

Awkward.

Embarrassment in capital letters was written abruptly on Zhao Jin's face.

Who would have thought that Huo Linchang came here in such a hurry not to cause trouble for Jiang Chao, but to beg for porridge.

Jiang Chao smiled slightly: "Oh, yes, there are plenty, I cooked a lot! Would you like another bowl, Lord Prefect?"

Huo Linchang saluted very sincerely: "Thank you so much, young hero, for saving your life. Huo will definitely repay you with a spring of water one day. However, Huo hopes that young hero can help you, and I will repay you with fists one day!"

Jiang Chao waved his hand: "No, no, no, please don't say that, the governor. It's not a favor or a favor. I bought this with real money and silver. It was a hard journey and my brothers have paid for it. I can't take it from everyone."

I gave my blood and sweat as a favor. One bowl or two is okay, but this time it will be too much, and I have no way to explain it to my brothers."

Feng Kaihe hurriedly asked: "Can I buy it with money?"

Jiang Chao smiled like a fox: "Of course you can! Mr. Feng is really kind and righteous!"

Huo Linchang pondered: "Uh... it's perfectly natural and understandable to get money when buying things. I just don't know how much the young hero wants to sell a bowl?"

Jiang Chao raised his hand with a smile and held up five fingers.

Feng Kaihe was stunned: "Five taels of silver?!"

Everyone was also startled, and immediately felt as if a pot had exploded.

"What? Five taels?! Are you so poor? A bowl of broken porridge costs five taels of silver?!"

"Five coins are too expensive for me!"

Jiang Chao shook his head again: "No, Captain Feng misunderstood, it's not five taels, it's five hundred taels."

"What?!!"

Everyone almost jumped up!

Zhao Jin pointed at Jiang Chao and angrily yelled: "The rice bought for five hundred taels of silver is enough for everyone to eat for several days. You actually have five hundred taels for a bowl?! Are you too black?!"

Hu Xianshan laughed at the side: "You have never seen money! Crazy, completely crazy!"

Sun Jin was also making noises: "Yes, you are so short of money!"

Jiang Chao ignored them and looked at Huo Linchang: "Master Taishou, you know whether it's worth it. I think it's not expensive, what do you think?"

Huo Linchang was confused.

A bowl of porridge costs five hundred taels, which is indeed very expensive.

But if this bowl of porridge can make him enter the valley, then that's another matter.

Feng Kaihe rubbed his hands and asked awkwardly: "Well, young hero! Can it be cheaper?"

"What? Why are you bargaining with this guy? Captain Feng, don't let him fool you. This guy is clearly trying to steal money!" Zhao Jin quickly advised Feng Kaihe, but Feng Kaihe glared at him: "Shut up!"

After saying that, he turned around and discussed with a smile: "Look, we are not wealthy businessmen. When we came out of the prefecture on this trip, we sent more than 500 troops, 500 taels a bowl. Based on the head count, we must get at least 2 taels."

One hundred and fifty thousand taels."

Jiang Chao looked troubled: "How about... you buy a hundred bowls, and everyone drinks it, five people per bowl, as long as they pass that area, isn't it okay?!"

"puff!!"

"Listen, are these human words?"

Huo Ning'er carefully pulled Zhao Han aside and asked Zhao Han if he could help.

Zhao Han was also a little embarrassed. He whispered: "My elder brother is right about this. There are so many people, and it is not his business. How about I pay for you to get a hundred bowls to drink first?"

Huo Ning'er bit her lip: "But how can I repay you like this? I owe you 80,000 taels!"

Jiang Caiping joked: "That's not easy. I asked Mr. Zhao to grit his teeth and pay you the money directly. It should be treated as a betrothal gift. How wonderful?!"

"How... how can this be done?!" Huo Ning'er immediately blushed. After Huo Linchang heard this, Feng Kaihe hurriedly pulled Huo Linchang: "Brother, what else are you planning? This child Zhao Han is different now. The one in my family is different.

The girl who strives for success is still causing trouble with others, just like the eldest mistress of the Zhao family has a pure dream. If she wants to get married, Ning'er wants to marry her. The one in my family also has someone to take care of her. What do you think?"

The treasure map is bound to be obtained, and this trip must not be missed.

Thinking of this, Huo Linchang gritted his teeth and looked at Zhao Han: "If you can afford five hundred bowls of money, I will agree to Ning'er's marriage!"

When Jiang Chao heard this, he immediately waved his hand: "Come on, come on, let's have some porridge!"

Two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver!

You actually agreed?!

Everyone was dumbfounded and wanted to figure out what was so special about this bowl of porridge.

As a result, some people who were mildly poisoned and not yet dead felt hot and steamy all over their bodies after drinking the porridge.

Soon, the poison was detoxified...

Master Mo understood clearly: "This porridge can detoxify! It can help us move forward!"

No one thought that this humble porridge could detoxify?!

Zhao Han saw everyone queuing up to drink porridge. He was very embarrassed: "Brother, I have cost you money again. This money... I will find a way to return it to you in the future."

Jiang Chao took out the land deed and said with a smile: "This is the land deed of your old house. From now on, if I am away, someone will have to take care of it for me. Can't we just pay it off like this?"

Zhao Han was startled. Although this old house was valuable, it was not worth that much!

Zhao Han was about to speak but stopped, but was stopped by Jiang Chao.

Zhao Yi watched from the side, feeling happy in his heart. He looked at Zhao En proudly: "Uncle Qi, the ceiling for an old house is 50,000 taels, right? What do you think of Han'er? Are you qualified to pick me up?

seat?"

Zhao En nodded quickly: "Of course, it's perfect! Both Captain Feng and the prefect intend to marry their daughter to Zhao Han, and Zhao Han has such a good friend to escort him. Not to mention becoming the head of the family, he will probably be the core position of the master's family in the future.

He must have a share!"

Zhao Yi was even happier when he heard Uncle Qi's affirmation: "Hahaha! What kind of bullshit Zhao Jin is, trying to compete with my son Zhao Yi for a seat?! Don't even check if you are the right one!"

When Hu Xianshan heard Master Mo say that this stuff could detoxify, he panicked: "Is this porridge really detoxifying?"

But at this moment, Chen Anian took the banknote and went to buy porridge...

Seeing Chen Anyian taking money, everyone no longer doubted it.

Everyone went to buy porridge one after another, but only the Han family was very confused.

More than a hundred people came from the Han family.

Doing the math, we need more than 50,000 taels of silver.

But the Han family is not as big as the Zhao family, so fifty thousand taels is a lot of pressure for them!

Jiang Yue looked at the Han family and asked Jiang Chao in a low voice: "Brother, the Han family seems to have no money. After all, they are dad's friends during his lifetime? Dad said that they also helped us. How about..."

Jiang Chao sighed: "You are just too kind, and you will suffer a loss sooner or later. However, you are right. For my father's sake, I will give it to them!"

As he said that, Jiang Chao glanced at Gu Yifan in the Han family camp.

In fact, this time it was just for her sake to let the Han family drink a bowl.

However, he couldn't give this favor casually. So he looked at Jiang Caiping and said, "Miss Ninth, can I lend you a favor and help my sister deliver a hundred bowls of porridge to the Han family?"

Jiang Caiping looked at Jiang Yue, and then said with a smile: "Okay, this is what you said. Then I want you to pay it back now, and I will help you get rid of the porridge. You promise me that from today on, we will cancel the matter with the Jiang family in Yingzhou.

I am now apologizing for Uncle Ning, so we are even."

Jiang Chao didn't hold much grudge against the Jiang family. After all, Sun Liang's death was due to underestimating the enemy.

So, he nodded: "Well, it's a deal!"
