Seeing this, the shopkeeper raised his eyelids, glanced at Jiang Qinian and others, and then laughed to himself.
"Please come in and get a nice guest room~!"
The shopkeeper's eyes widened when he saw the money. He was a little worried about getting into trouble when he saw Jiang Qinian's half-dead look, but after seeing Hu Dawei's generous spending, he immediately smiled.
This Hu Dawei was also a shrewd businessman. He deliberately pretended to be in pain, then turned sideways and deliberately slapped the silver on the counter, so that other people who stayed here could see it.
look.
As the saying goes, wealth is not revealed in vain. It would be inconvenient to carry such a burden with you. If people continue to worry about the money, they will inevitably encounter a lot of trouble.
But the vendors and footmen gathered here are all like individuals, and hiding them will only attract people's attention. It is better to take them out openly and let others know the "understanding".
Hu Dawei and Li Laosan didn't delay, and walked upstairs with Jiang Qinian on their backs.
Not long after entering the door, he heard two soft "knock-knock" sounds. Hu Dawei squinted his eyes and took a look, and then said in a deep voice:
"Enter."
"Squeak~"
As soon as the door opened, a pungent smell of perfume drifted in. Hu Dawei and Hu Dawei frowned slightly, and then they saw a middle-aged woman dressed in a fancy dress walking into the room.
"Masters, which one of us needs a girl to serve?"
Hearing this, Hu Dawei did not speak, but raised his hand and pointed at Jiang Qinian who was lying on the bed.
"this."
"Hey, gentlemen, this is a small business and we can't stand the trouble. Could it be that your brother just climbed out of the dirt?
We agreed in advance that if we stain the bed quilt, we will have to pay for it separately."
"Okay, you can't live without this quilt!
The money just down there is for road construction, and you have to pay for it separately. Do as I say, and the money will be yours!!"
Hearing this, the woman's eyes lit up.
"Master, do you really mean what you said?"
"Real money and silver will make no difference!"
After saying that, the smile on the woman's face almost turned into a flower. She closed the door softly, and then asked in a soft voice:
"Is this man singing a double act or daydreaming?"
The so-called double act and the place to drink flower wine need not be said in detail. This matter can only be understood and cannot be explained in words.
As for this daydream, it is the daydream of some literati with beautiful women in their arms, drinking wine, listening to music, and doing arty things. The money is the same, but it has a bit more of the hazy and comfortable feeling of looking at flowers in dreams. It is the most popular thing about the Lotus City.
Much sought after by young masters.
When the woman saw that Jiang Qinian was so depressed, she thought she was just singing a double act, but she didn't expect that Hu Dawei waved his hand and said straightforwardly:
"Neither sing a double act nor daydream!"
"Oh? Could it be that this gentleman has other interests?"
“Boil white fish in plain water!
Fish are expensive, their scales are soft and their meat is tender, so the cooks need to be good at their craftsmanship. If the scales are damaged and the meat is scraped, there will be no money. If there is a scar as big as a bowl, no one can escape!"
Hearing this, the woman was really startled. She covered her chest and took two steps back.
"Who are you? Are you just boiling white fish in plain water?"
We have stewed croakers in broth and a pot of mandarin ducks. The whole city of Crying Lotus cannot pick out the thorns. Why don't you try them?"
The old mother was originally frightened, but when she heard that Hu Dawei and the others only wanted to boil white fish in plain water, she started to want to sell her.
After all, both flower fish and a pot of mandarin duck are much more expensive than white fish, so I couldn't help but put some thought into it.
The white fish boiled in plain water has no meaty smell, and it can at most relieve fatigue. Generally, it is just a plate for those peddlers and footmen who pass by, and it is considered as a relaxing meal on the way.
The fish stewed in broth has a bit more fishy smell, and of course the price is more expensive. After all, adding some seasonings will naturally cost more.
As for the most valuable pot of mandarin duck...everyone in the entire Crying Lotus City who has eaten it is reluctant to leave. As long as you have money in your hand, you must come and try the number one delicacy in Crying Lotus City.
Hu Dawei stared at the woman with an unkind expression, making her feel frightened.
After all, he is a person who keeps his head in his waistband all year round. He has some cultivation levels and is much better than this ordinary person.
Although this woman had seen many different kinds of people, the fierceness of Hu Dawei and Li Laosan in licking blood from the tips of their knives intimidated her and she did not dare to say any more.
"I advise you not to have any evil thoughts.
Boiling white fish in plain water means boiling white fish in plain water. Why are you talking so much nonsense?
The money is just a lot more, just cook it!
The fish on the ground enter the basket in the sky, the white fish are stained with colorful colors, and everyone has to finish playing when a natural disaster comes!!"
"Yes! Yes! You are absolutely right!!
It’s just that I don’t understand the rules. Don’t worry, this fish will be cooked cleanly for you and there will never be any random additions!!”
The woman was so frightened that her face turned pale.
The fish on the ground enter the basket in the sky, what else can it be if this is not the selection of concubines by the current empress?
If she is allowed to make random decisions and ruin things, let alone her, the whole city will suffer!!
"You know what you should say and what you shouldn't say!"
"Hey, please rest assured, no one else will know about this except me and the cook. I'm just a mother. I'm just asking for money. How can I have any evil intentions?"
"Know best.
Okay, you go down!!"
Hearing this, the woman quickly opened the door and walked out, but as soon as she took a step, she turned around and whispered:
"It's really hard for you guys to deliver the fish all the way. I'll prepare some food and wine for you guys. Don't worry, this food and wine is free of charge. It's all a token of appreciation from our restaurant!"
"Bring more meat and vegetables. No need to drink. The sky is high and the road is far. Drinking will make things worse!"
"Hey! Okay, okay, I'll prepare for you right now!"
After saying that, the woman ran away quickly, leaving only Hu Dawei, Li Laosan and Jiang Qinian lying on the bed in the house.
Seeing that there was no one outside, Li Laosan first glanced at Jiang Qinian, and then asked Hu Dawei in a low voice:
"Let me tell you, boss, if we brag so much...will it cause any trouble?"
Hearing this, Hu Dawei waved his hands with an indifferent expression.
"What trouble could there be?
The woman is a smart person, the most observant of her mistress, but the smarter the person, the more worries she has.
She may have doubts, but she doesn't dare to gamble.
She got the job done according to what we said, and the money is indispensable to them!
But if you go crazy and insist on checking the authenticity, not only will you not get the money, but you may also lose your head because of it!
Unless there is something wrong with her brain, she knows what to do, and she will not do such a thankless thing.
She wants to make money, we want to be safe, and we can kill two birds with one stone, isn't this bad?"
After saying that, Li Laosan nodded in agreement, and then gave Hu Dawei a thumbs up.
"Otherwise, it's up to you, brother! Even if I live another hundred years, I won't be able to match this brain!
It's just...Boss, I'm not doubting you. What we usually do is business with our heads in our belts. It's not like you don't know how hard it is to get this money.
If we meet a more generous employer, we can still make a fortune. We have finally saved this little money, should we just... spend it on this kid?
He is still in a coma right now, and he doesn’t know what we are doing. After spending so much money, what should we do if this kid smashes our hands in the end?"
Having said this, Hu Dawei had already lit his pipe and started puffing away the smoke. He took a deep breath, and then rubbed his cheeks. The lingering smoke obscured his face, but added a sense of sadness.
"Lao San, you are actually right, I have been thinking about this issue along the way.
We have invested so much, if no one receives the goods and it falls into our own hands, then everything is really over.
But do we brothers have any choice?
In this day and age, how can it be so easy for ordinary people to get rich?
All the profitable businesses were monopolized by those immortals, and the remaining soup was eaten up by the servants of gods below.
For immortals to serve the gods, they need a lot of wealth, not only to spread their faith, but in this era when immortals and gods can be seen everywhere, they also have to offer better tributes in various ways to ensure that they and their masters
status.
Apart from anything else, the best way out for us ordinary people is to join the government and work as an official. The rest is to do business like this restaurant, and we can make a lot of money.
We brothers should never think about becoming officials. It's impossible. We have to have good looks but no looks, no cultivation, and we don't have much money in our stomachs. There is no other way except to do some small business.
But since we are doing business, it doesn't matter if we go backstage for a few days, we will be disturbed by people from the God's Servant family.
What kind of good birds do you think they are?
Those big shots must be too lazy to talk to us, but what about those family bastards?
Eat big and eat small snacks, these members of the Servant of God family are like blood-sucking locusts, they want to suck your blood and eat your flesh all the time!!"
The more Hu Dawei talked, the more excited he became, and finally he slammed the table angrily.
The commotion startled Li Laosan. He quickly looked around outside the door and window. After making sure that no one had noticed, he relaxed a little.
"Oh, boss, please keep your voice down, it will be terrible if someone hears this, both of us will lose our heads!"
After hearing what Li Laosan said, Hu Dawei also recovered from his anger and dissatisfaction. He sighed, and then continued:
"If ordinary people like us want to start a business and make money, we have to worship the Shanmen, the bastards of the Servant of God family. With their care, our business can continue safely.
Money is needed everywhere, and your father is sick again. Unless we two brothers can make a fortune, we will be angry with the poor no matter where we go!
This kid is our opportunity, we are not selling him to a place where he can drink wine, he is the royal family!
Let me ask you Li Laosan, how many men today are eager to get into the royal family, but they can't squeeze in?
We saved his life and took good care of him. All we asked for was some money!
It just so happens that Her Majesty the Empress wants to choose a concubine, this is a God-given opportunity, as long as we two brothers can seize it, we will be able to become famous by then!!"
