When Xu Ce heard this number, the expression on his face was similar to that of Uncle Jiu, darkening.
Damn, you really dare to shout! Five thousand taels of silver is still cash. This shows how bold people are and how productive the land is.
Uncle Jiu was stiff, Xu Ce was stiff, Boss Qian was stiff, and Sister Mary was already pale.
Except for Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly solidified.
Boss Qian had a mouthful of coffee in his mouth, but he was too frightened to swallow it. Although he had money, he couldn't waste it like this.
Boss Qian's expression is not to mention wonderful, it feels like once you swallow the coffee, your five thousand taels of silver will be gone.
Gudu...
Boss Qian finally swallowed the coffee with difficulty, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward.
Seeing that Boss Qian was silent, Qiu Sheng continued:
"Boss Qian, I charge you five thousand taels of silver. By the way, it's cash, not a banknote.
In fact, you have taken a big advantage. We quoted this price because Boss Qian has been a friend for many years. If it were anyone else, the starting price would be at least ten thousand taels of cash.
By the way, Boss Qian, when do you plan to settle the money?"
Boss Qian's face looks like pork liver. He is so paralyzed that his shop is not worth so much money. Do you think he is a stupid guy with a lot of money?
Boss Qian felt a little displeased, and suddenly felt that this Uncle Jiu was a bit unworthy of his name.
Boss Qian has been working hard outside in recent years, and he has only returned to Renjia Town not long ago. However, he has indeed often heard the famous name of Uncle Jiu, and when he met him today, it seemed that he was not as righteous as rumored, but instead
Full of copper smell.
I shook my head secretly, but fortunately I was prepared with both hands.
Isn't Uncle Jiu a disciple of Maoshan? Haha, I'm afraid Uncle Jiu doesn't know yet, but the direct disciple of Maoshan's contemporary headmaster is in his shop right now.
Since the lion who regards him as a villain has opened his mouth, there is no need to continue the conversation.
After Boss Qian figured this out, he no longer felt embarrassed. He stood up and said with the last courtesy:
"Uncle Jiu, I have something else to do. You can eat on your own later. I'll treat you to this lunch."
As for asking Uncle Jiu to do Feng Shui again, he didn't mention it a word and turned around to leave.
Qiu Sheng was confused when he saw this. What's the situation? If you didn't ask for the price as agreed, you shouldn't bargain first and then pay the money. The boss doesn't follow the rules for this money.
This guy didn't even think about it. For the sky-high fees he quoted, Boss Qian didn't directly coax anyone. He was already quite well-mannered.
At this moment, a figure wearing a black and white Pisces Taoist robe walked over. This person was none other than Shi Jian, the direct disciple of Maoshan.
Shi Jian stroked his beard and said seriously:
"Junior Brother Ninth, I didn't expect you to be so black-hearted. I only asked for ten oceans, but you actually asked for five thousand taels of silver. Boss Qian's money didn't come from the strong wind, and the purpose of our Maoshan Taoist Sect is
It is to do our best to help the people in the world when they need help.
You randomly quoted a sky-high price, but it brought shame to our Maoshan Daomen.
If word spreads, if people encounter difficulties in the future, who will dare to come to me, Taoist priest Maoshan, for help?"
Shi Jian said very enthusiastically, and he was completely in the state. It didn't matter if he couldn't win, but in the verbal battle, he had to find some ground, even if it was to collect interest!
Shi Jian said sadly:
"Once the reputation of our Maoshan is ruined by people like you, and the millennium foundation of our Maoshan is shaken, Lao Jiu, you can take the responsibility!"
What a big hat to cover it up, especially Shi Jian's heartbroken expression, not to mention how real it is, this acting is so good that it could win the Academy Award for Villain in the future.
Uncle Jiu's face was dark. They had seen Shi Jian a long time ago, but they never expected that Shi Jian would jump out and attack at this time. Uncle Jiu was a little caught off guard, and the sky-high price of five thousand taels of silver, Qiu Sheng, an idiot, was blind.
Even he himself felt so embarrassed by the nonsense he said.
Facing Shi Jian's accusation, Shi Jian was professional in terms of sanctimony. Uncle Jiu felt that what Shi Jian said made sense and was unable to refute it for a moment.
"Huh, why, I have nothing to say! Lao Jiu, this great Maoshan requires the joint protection of many of our Maoshan disciples. As the direct senior brother of Maoshan, we will be the future head of the Maoshan Taoist Sect!
I am formally warning you. I will apologize to Boss Qian immediately. I will not let this matter happen again. If you do it again, don’t blame me for forgetting old feelings and expelling those who tell nonsense from Maoshan Daomen!"
Shi Jian's face was condensed and he scolded seriously.
At this time, Xu Ce and others all frowned. Damn, they were holding chicken feathers as arrows!
However, Shi Jian, this bastard, is also very sinister. In front of outsiders, he is sure that Uncle Jiu will not dare to damage Maoshan's reputation.
Uncle Jiu frowned, feeling angry in his heart. Uncle Jiu had extremely deep feelings for Maoshan, and Shi Jian's words really touched Uncle Jiu's weakness.
Uncle Jiu gritted his teeth, and the trouble came from his mouth. Qiu Sheng was talking without thinking. What he wanted to say was that he, the master, had failed to discipline him well. With outsiders around, he couldn't fall into the trap of Maoshan.
Uncle Jiu thought that it didn't matter if he lost some face. When he was about to apologize, Xu Ce held him back.
Xu Ce shook his head slightly, stared at Shi Jian with narrowed eyes, and said:
"Uncle, what you said is wrong. Your hat is a bit too big.
It seems that Maoshan Taoist Sect has no specific regulations on how much remuneration should be charged for disciples of Maoshan to travel around the world, attend weddings and funerals, and observe Feng Shui?
If this is the case, then we are qualified to set our own price, and this is considered a transaction. Even if we ask for a high price and pay back the money on the spot, that is a matter between the buyer and seller.
It doesn't matter if we can't agree on the price. It's said that business cannot be done with kindness and righteousness, but why did it reach the point where the reputation of Maoshan Taoism is related to the reputation of the Taoist sect in the mouth of the great uncle?
Or is it that the great uncle is deliberately looking for trouble?"
"Yes, Senior Brother is right. The price we ask is our business. You can choose to accept it or you can choose to refuse. Those are your rights. But, Senior Uncle, it seems that this matter has nothing to do with you.
, why are you so excited?"
Qiu Sheng curled his lips in displeasure. He hated Shi Jian very much. This bastard almost cheated him to death.
"Humph, that's right, why can't we quote a price of five thousand taels of silver?
Moreover, if our master is capable, he is worth so much money, instead of some people, haha, who are only worth ten oceans.
That or something, uncle, are you jealous that our master is more powerful than you?"
