Chapter II. 156. Prices are skyrocketing
When these hungry and gluttonous people saw the fine wine and food again, their spirits were very different from those of Fang Cai's unlucky virtues. At this moment, including neon, there is no way to talk about eating beauty and ugliness; Especially the big fat man Tieshan, even the leftover vegetable soup on the last plate was dipped in steamed buns and swept away. Under the stunned gaze of the young man, there were two tables of ten people feasting, and he was stunned that he didn't even mess with a single green onion!
Shen Gui has been in a hurry these days, and the anger in his internal organs has not subsided, so he naturally doesn't eat much. At this time, seeing that the cups and plates on the table were as clean as freshly washed, he was also relieved, and picked up a bamboo skewer on the table and put it in his mouth:
"How many are you? Have you eaten enough? β
The big fat man Tie Shan instigated the oil soup on his fingers, and said angrily:
"As the old saying goes, 'Eat eight minutes full at every meal, and live to ninety without looking old'. I haven't eaten so well for too long, and I shouldn't eat a lot of meat and oil, and I can't be full...... So be it......"
Shen Gui was a little stunned when he heard what he said! Now the cups and plates on the table are still shining, and it is impossible to tell what was originally contained; And this Huiyoulou himself often comes and goes, the chef in the back kitchen is still an old acquaintance Song Xingzhou, what dishes are there in the middle of the banquet at the table, can I still not know?
"Hey, hey, hey, I said fatty, the nine-turn large intestine and the pot roasted elbow are not big oily meat? What's wrong? Do I have to ask you for a pig and let you hold it and gnaw on it to relieve your hatred? β
"That's fine!"
"Do you hear that you are good? No matter if you eat well or not, you can't eat too much in one meal! It's easy to hurt your appetite if you're hungry and full! I drank the wine and ate the food just now, and I said Lie Yan, let's find an open place to continue practicing? Or ......"
The amount of liquor is not large, and only then can he use good meat and good vegetables to go down half a pot of osmanthus stuffing, and now his cheeks are red and his eyes are straight. Under Shen Gui's questioning, he leaned forward and leaned against the table, his hands swinging back and forth like a trick:
"Don't fight, don't fight! I can't use my hands just after eating, and it's easy to hurt my spleen and stomach......"
Shen Gui turned his head, looked at the neon with a somewhat embarrassed face, and said:
"What are you all and who taught you? Although this brain is not quite the same as a normal person, I still know that I feel sorry for myself! β
The black beauty Neon also straightened her chest at this time, and was about to speak back, but she didn't expect to burp her, and then the whole person buried herself on the table and didn't say a word. Only the two red ears were still exposed......
"Young Master Shen, don't you know, the thirteen of our brothers were originally orphans. I want to ...... in the first place."
"Can you please shut up! That shorter one, I don't think you're talking dry, just tell me, who is the master who can teach you sub-immortals? β
"Family Teacher Qi Lingyan!"
Shen Guiyi heard Qi Lingyan's name, and his hands clapped out a crisp sound:
"That's right! Let's go, you really can't do anything after eating, but it's easy to accumulate food just like that! Let's go for activities! β
Shen Gui said, slapped a fifty taels of silver ticket on the table, and got up to leave. didn't think that before he walked out of the door, he was stopped by the young man:
"Shen Ye, Shen Ye, you take two steps slowly, and the little one still has a few words to say......"
Shen Gui was a little surprised by his stop! The price of the dishes in this Huiyou Building has long been familiar to me! The official price of two tables of first-class banquets is forty taels, plus a few bottles of ordinary wine, at most it does not exceed the number of forty-five taels. But this young man is not new, and it is the first time he has stopped himself, so is there really something important?
"Master Shen... It stands to reason that you often take care of our business, and you are hired by a well-known lord in the capital, so the small ones shouldn't have more mouths...... But if there is a mistake in this account, I will have to pay for the shortfall out of my own pocket. You know, a small person only earns more than two taels of silver a month, and he can't fill your big hole by smashing pots and selling iron......"
"Don't talk nonsense, how much silver is missing for you?"
"You're still a hundred and fifty taels away...... That is, you, I will be the master of the shopkeeper once, and you will give one hundred and fifty taels if you erase it! β
"Song Xingzhou! If you don't come out again, I'm going to smash the store! β
Shen Gui was anxious when he heard the young man's words: he had silver, but he didn't scatter it so much! Coupled with the fifty taels of silver tickets he just put down, this price is five heels higher than in the past, is this friend Lou owner going crazy?
Song Xingzhou, who was shouted out in a loud voice, also looked at Shen Gui impatiently:
"What are you yelling about? It's natural to pay for dinner, and if you want to overlord the meal, you can find the wrong temple door! Of course, there are so many of you, and you all have kung fu in you, and our guys who watch the store are indeed not your opponents! But if you just leave like this, tomorrow you will return to eat the name of white food, and it will spread all over Fengjing! β
Shen Guiyi looked at Song Xingzhou's attitude, and immediately changed to a smiling face. After that, he reached out and took out two hundred taels of silver tickets from his arms, and walked to the back kitchen with a smile on his shoulder:
"What is our relationship, what are you talking about! Let's go, I also want to personally reward a few little masters in the back kitchen with silver! β
The two of them walked towards the back kitchen politely, and after Shen Gui's hand around Song Xingzhou's shoulder tapped lightly twice, Song Xingzhou whispered:
"The price increase is the owner's decision. The price of vegetables in the market in Fengjing has only risen by 20%. β
"That's right! ...... are your owners? β
"Let's not talk about the guise hanging outside, the real owner of this Huiyou Building should be the one on the top of Youbei Third Road!"
"Old and small?"
"It's supposed to be small, but it's no different!"
"You're a cook...... Where do you know so much? β
After Shen Gui asked this sentence, Song Xingzhou had already pushed open the door of the kitchen. He raised the silver ticket in his hand to all the people, and said in a loud voice:
"The dishes we made Shen Gongzi ate smoothly, and I came to reward the silver in person!"
Immediately, everyone in the kitchen shouted thanks, and Shen Gui could only pull up a 'social face' to meet the source. It wasn't until he and the Thirteen Shamans walked out of the door of the Friends Building again that they didn't understand the reason why Song Xingzhou 'revealed his face'! After all, I called him out, just to let him know the thirteen fools who had just turned enemies into friends, so as not to 'meet and not know each other' in the future.
He lowered his head and walked without saying a word, until he reached the gate of Chang'an Buzhuang, and then beckoned the thirteen timid people behind him to walk in.
It didn't take long for the thirteen 'new beggar disciples' to change into brand new outfits, and the neon girl returned with a full load, rubbing the yellow and white flowers embroidered on the clothes with a happy face.
"Hmm...... Walk along this alley, turn a corner, and you can see the gate of the Shen Mansion! β¦β¦ You don't need to look for it, there is one alley, and the courtyard with the Shen House sign is! Let's just say that Shen Gui asked you to come...... Oh yes, don't let the flames go! Otherwise, it would be easy to scare him to death! β
Shen Gui pointed to the alley not far away and said to everyone. When they were far away, they began to wander around again. After walking for about a stick of incense, I came to a three-story building.
From the outside, the faΓ§ade of the three-story building has just been repainted; In some crevices and corners that are not easy to clean, a few broken bricks with new forks can be faintly seen.
I don't know if the relationship between the renovated storefront is renovate, under the tense situation of the enemy besieging the city and burning and looting around Fengjing, this storefront is still ushering in the send-off, so it's not lively.
Shen Gui looked up, and there was a gold-lettered plaque hanging above the door, with four big characters on it:
"Double Sky Casino!"
Before he could come to his senses, his right arm was tightly grasped by others, and he shook it vigorously a few times:
"Isn't this Shen Gongzi! I haven't seen you for many days, where have you gone to make a fortune? Lao He, I really want to look forward to it during the day and at night, and today I finally look forward to you! β
Shen Gui looked at the middle-aged man who called himself 'Lao He', and his mind was full of doubts: The thirteen shamans didn't recognize it just now, and the person named Lao He didn't recognize it either, Lao Tzu wouldn't have suffered from amnesia at a young age, right? Who is this person who is full of 'Flower Street Willow Lane' style of soliciting customers?
Before Shen Gui could remember when and where he got acquainted with this old He, he dragged him into the door of the Shuangtian Gambling House.
In the hall on this floor, it is difficult to find even a gap where people can stand. Those gamblers who are three religions, nine streams, five elements and eight things, stunned to surround every twelve gambling tables tightly and impermeable.
Each of them had bloodshot eyes, some inaudible slogan in their mouths, and the green tendons on their necks were visible. Shen Gui looked at it coldly, and only felt as if he had returned to the incomparably tragic battlefield on the bank of the Pu River.
The man surnamed He who led the way in front of him tugged on Shen Gui's robe sleeves tightly, and he seemed to be like a swimming fish, and he took Shen Gui through the crowd of people on the first floor in three turns and two turns, and came to the door leading to the second floor.
Lao He didn't look at the four strong men guarding the door of the building, but just pushed open the door with a happy face, and politely led Shen Gui to the second floor.
The second floor of this two-day gambling house is completely different from the hustle and bustle of the first floor. Although there was still some noise coming from the gap between the floor and the door, it was already quiet and elegant as far as the eye could see.
"Old ...... Old He, right? β
"Shen Ye has a good memory, what do you command?"
"When I passed by the first floor, I had already looked at it. And what is the second floor of your Shuangtian gambling house? β
"Shen Ye, you are joking, the small number is a double-day gambling house, and the upper and lower floors are added together, so they are naturally a place for gambling and fun!"
"It's not that the master of the treasure bureau has never entered, whether you are playing horse hang, pai gow, or dice cockfighting, I don't have much interest......
"Master Shen, if it's only those vulgar things you said, do I still need to take you to the second floor? As far as you just said, these are all non-mainstream plays, and they are all on the first floor! And the second floor of our Double Sky Gambling House is full of distinguished guests like you! β
As soon as Lao He's voice fell, he stretched out his hand and pushed open the door of the first room at the staircase......
