The first words didn't make much difference, but the last words made everyone eat fish. They looked at Lin Qingran with envy and jealousy: Miss Lin must have burned too much incense in her previous life, otherwise where would it come from? Such a great blessing? You are still riding fast, and you are not afraid that the horse will break the white jade plate?
Many young ladies tightened their grip on the chopsticks, finding that the seabass in their mouths didn't seem that delicious. The glances they directed at Lin Qingran were like knives in the wind, as cold as ice!
"Okay!" Lin Qingran nodded as if unconsciously, her eyebrows arched.
Rong Ruo paused in his movements and glared at Xu Changqing: despicable!
Xu Changqing raised his eyebrows and blinked proudly and looked back: Are you not despicable? If you are not despicable, why are you making a shower of fireworks? It's just that your skills are not as good as others. Why are you staring? If you have the ability, you can also make steamed seabass with hibiscus pearls!
Lin Qingran only lowered her head to eat the fish. She didn't know about the lawsuit between the two people, so she wholeheartedly ate the seabass that Rongruo had prepared for her alone: Wouldn't it be too much if the fish that was made with such painstaking efforts was not eaten cleanly? Wasted?
Lin Qingran only wanted to eat the bass cleanly at this moment, but the following conversation made her want to swallow all the bones of the bass.
Prime Minister Lin used half of the seabass, and finally restrained himself and put down the chopsticks in his hands. He said to Xu Changqing with a smile on his face: "It is worthy of being the top private dish of the Rong family. After so many processes, it can still retain the original taste. It’s really rare.”
He is in the position of prime minister, and this is the first time in so many years that he is so prosperous. Although it is thanks to Lin Qingran, Lin Qingran is also his daughter. If he supports her face, how can he not support him?
Dugulin suddenly said: "Mr. Xu, I wonder how much this seabass is worth after so many processes?"
Lin Qingran immersed herself in eating for a moment and stretched her ears to listen. In fact, she also wanted to know this question.
"In order to celebrate my sister's canonization as the princess, I am happy to spend any amount of money. Well, I haven't really calculated how much a sea bass is worth, but these fifty-eight sea bass cost me twelve thousand silver. ." Xu Changqing reported a number and added: "Twelve thousand taels, fifty-eight seabass. If you count one, it's about two hundred taels, not more, not more!"
Twelve thousand taels?
Just fifty-eight fish, only twelve thousand taels? Could it be that these fish are made of gold?
A fish costs more than 200 taels, but it’s not called much. So what does it mean to call it a lot?
puff!
Many people almost had fish bones stuck in their throats, and for a while, there was a lot of coughing in the hall.
Lin Qingran was also one of them. He finally spit out the fish bones in his throat. He looked at Xu Changqing in shock and said: "Such a fish, only more than two hundred taels? Brother, have you been tricked by your steward?" Already?"
The slave deceived the master, falsely reported the price, and enriched himself. This was Lin Qingran's first reaction.
In the currency circulation in Dongming, the most common currency is copper coins. One copper coin is worth one penny. In the past, one copper coin can buy a sesame cake or something like that. Ordinary people don’t have a few taels of silver for a year’s expenses. How can they spend two taels on a fish? A hundred taels of silver, wasn't it cheated, or what?
Xu Changqing was also shocked by Lin Qingran's words and coughed several times: Was he cheated by someone else, or was he cheated by his own supervisor?
Could it be that in the mind of this girl, he looks like someone who is easily deceived?
Others also looked over with an expression like "Miss Lin, you don't have any brains": Mr. Xu has been cheated?
Are you kidding me? Mr. Xu didn't say a word, just thank God for the blessing of Bodhisattva. Who dares to trick him, who doesn't think his brain is too strong?
