Chapter 707: A banquet costs ten thousand taels of gold
While Zhao De kept trying to please Wu Yuan, Butler Sun and other servants of the Zhao family were running around outside, but they encountered a problem.
I don’t know what happened today. Even though night had just fallen, all the restaurants in the capital were closed.
No one even answered the door.
Finally, in front of a restaurant that had good relations with the Zhao family, Butler Sun learned the reason.
It turns out that this is because the restaurant received an order not long ago, "Tonight the capital is arresting criminals. In order not to give the prisoners a chance, all restaurants will be closed and not open for business. Otherwise, they will be punished for harboring the suspect."
As a result, there is currently no restaurant open.
Butler Sun had followed Zhao De for decades, and he was sweating after finding out this reason.
Even if the prisoner is arrested, it is impossible to mobilize troops like this. This is obviously aimed at the Zhao family.
This must be an order deliberately given by the new emperor, just to embarrass the Zhao family.
When Butler Sun thought about it, Zhao De's expression trembled when he saw them returning empty-handed.
At this time, a servant said: "It seems that the door of the world is still open."
When Butler Sun heard this, he was overjoyed at first, but then started to murmur. Who didn't know that Mo Qiaoer, the boss of Tianxia Family, was from the new emperor.
But why is Tianxia Family opening now?
It was as if he was waiting for them to find him. For a moment, Butler Sun hesitated, not knowing whether to go or not.
At this time, the servant said casually, "It is indeed His Majesty's new emperor's property. They are the only ones who dare to defy the ban and open for business."
When Butler Sun heard this, he felt it made sense.
Thinking about it again, there is no other way now, so I can only go over and have a look.
On the contrary, I am a little worried about whether Tianxia Family can prepare a banquet that can satisfy more than 100 people in a short period of time.
Walking into Tianxia Family House, Butler Sun approached the shopkeeper politely with a smile on his face.
However, before he could speak, the shopkeeper said first: "We will not do business today. Please come back, sir."
"No more business?" Butler Sun's heart skipped a beat.
"Then why is the door still open?" Butler Sun asked again.
"Oh, it's nothing. We are not doing business today, so we are going to treat our own staff to a meal." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
Hearing this, Butler Sun was also disappointed, but he still begged: "Shopkeeper, please help me. I need about a dozen tables of banquets. If you can do it, I will pay double the price."
"If you don't do business, you don't do business. You can leave." The shopkeeper started to chase people away.
When Butler Sun saw this, he didn't know what to do. Now I'm afraid he can only go back and let Zhao De figure out a solution on his own.
But suddenly, Butler Sun smelled a tangy fragrance.
Butler Sun rushed in immediately, and the scene in front of him immediately stunned Butler Sun.
Looking around, there are exactly a dozen banquet tables, and looking at the dishes, they are all first-class and well-prepared.
Butler Sun was immediately overjoyed, and at this moment, the shopkeeper also walked over with an unhappy look on his face.
"What are you doing running in here? Get out quickly."
Butler Sun grabbed the shopkeeper's hand and asked, "Shopkeeper, why do you prepare so many banquets?"
The shopkeeper immediately became happy, "Didn't I tell you just now? We are not doing business today, just so that the guys from the world can get together and have fun."
Butler Sun did hear this just now, but he thought it was just a few clerks.
I didn't expect that there would be so many people gathering for dinner.
"Shopkeeper, sell me all these banquets. I'll pay three times the price." Butler Sun remembered that he was already very sincere. There was no reason not to do this ready-made business.
Besides, the family in the world is not afraid of any bans, so there is no need to struggle with money.
Butler Sun was extremely excited at the thought of returning home later to deliver errands.
But the shopkeeper's words were like a bucket of cold water poured down.
"If I sell it to you, what will our guys eat? If you don't want to sell it, don't talk about it with money. Doesn't it seem like our whole family is short of money?"
Butler Sun was immediately speechless, wasn't he? Can money impress the whole world?
But seeing so many banquets placed here but unable to get them, Butler Sun was unwilling to accept them.
The next second, Butler Sun knelt down directly.
"Shopkeeper, please do me a favor. This banquet can save our lives. You are so merciful, so just sell it to us. The price is whatever you want."
Butler Sun is really at his wits end. As long as he can buy these banquets, he can do whatever he wants.
The shopkeeper also looked frightened, "What are you doing? Get up, what does this look like?"
"We're going to have a banquet soon. No matter what you say, I can't sell it to you."
"Please!" Butler Sun kowtowed directly.
But he didn't see a hint of success on the corner of the shopkeeper's mouth.
"Oh, look at you like this. If you don't want to sell it, you won't sell it. Unless the banquet is worth ten thousand taels of gold, you can't even think about it."
"What?" Butler Sun was shocked.
This banquet only cost one hundred and eighty taels of silver, but the shopkeeper actually asked for ten thousand taels of gold?
The shopkeeper looked at the surprise on Steward Sun's face and said, "Can't you hear it? I just want you to give up. You can go."
Butler Sun opened his mouth, then gritted his teeth suddenly, "Shopkeeper, you have already said what you said, so you can't go back on it."
"What? Do you really want to spend ten thousand taels of gold to buy a banquet? Are you crazy?" The shopkeeper looked surprised.
"I don't know if I'm crazy or not, but without this banquet, my master will definitely go crazy. Just wait for me. I'll go home immediately to get the money. You are not allowed to move until I come back."
Seeing that the shopkeeper was almost done with the show, he nodded reluctantly, "Okay, who told me to say this already? What a company in the world pays attention to is integrity, and I can't destroy my own sign, otherwise the boss will want to
Punish me."
Butler Sun also had mixed feelings after hearing this. He didn't know whether it was good luck or bad luck to encounter these dozen banquet tables.
But there is finally a glimmer of hope. As for whether to buy it or not, Zhao De has to make his own decision.
As soon as he thought about this, Butler Sun did not dare to delay and ran out immediately.
After waiting for Butler Sun to leave, the guys from the Tianxia Family immediately gathered around.
The shopkeeper said proudly, "How is it? Did I act like it just now?"
The guys also praised for a while, and then one of them asked: "Shopkeeper, he doesn't really want to buy a banquet with ten thousand taels of gold, does he?"
"Our boss Mo has set the price and said that someone will definitely come to buy it, so it will definitely be sold. You guys should stay away from those banquets. Otherwise, if you accidentally damage it, you won't be able to compensate.
