"Yes, my lord......"

When Yang An heard Yang Jing's words, he quickly responded. However, after he had come down, he hesitated for a moment, then spoke again, and said, "...... However, my lord, the entrance fee of today's 'Qin's Dessert House' is too high, if it is only one hundred taels of silver, I am afraid that it will ...... I'm afraid it's not enough to become a new member of them! ”

"What? A hundred taels of silver is not enough? Not even a bronze member? ”

Hearing this, Yang Jing was rather surprised, he was not the kind of person who liked to put on a show, so since he decided to go to the "Qin's Dessert House" to find out, he didn't think about becoming a gold member, but just wanted to become a bronze member. Because only the entrance fee for bronze members is what he can accept at the moment.

Of course, it's not that he, as the head of the household department, can't get these thousands of taels, because officials like them in the Great Zhou Dynasty have a lot of money every year.

Moreover, their main income is not actually in the annual income, but in some industries in the government.

Because in this era, the business atmosphere is very strong, so although the public opinion of the society looks down on businessmen, but in fact, if this businessman still has an official background, it is a different matter.

Because the world will think that the official family is only to maintain the most basic daily expenses, not to chase fame and fortune. Moreover, these scholars, who are essentially merchants, do not directly participate in the process of doing business on a daily basis, but leave everything to the hands of their subordinates, so the world thinks that this is completely different from ordinary big merchants and hawkers. -- Needless to say, such a thing is a bit absurd, but it is a common view of the age, so although it cannot be understood by later generations, it does not prevent it from becoming the norm in this era.

"Big ...... My lord, it really doesn't work! At present, the 'Qin's Dessert House' only recruits 30 members per day. There are 10 gold, 10 silver, and 10 bronze members, so even for the lowest-level bronze members, the entrance fee has increased more than ten times......"

“……”

Hearing this, Yang Jing was taken aback again.

When he heard about this "Qin's Dessert House" from his colleagues a few days ago, he just knew that it had accumulated a lot of money, and at the same time, he was interested in its "membership system". He also has a certain understanding.

However, at that time, his interest was mainly focused on the highest-level membership status of the gold member, because this was the main means by which the "Qin's Dessert House" could make tens of thousands of dollars in a short period of time.

Therefore, he knew that the entrance fee of the golden member of this "Qin's Dessert House" had reached more than thousands of taels. However, he is not so clear about the specific prices of silver and bronze members. Because he believes that the entrance fee of these two membership levels, even if it is high, it will not have much impact on the overall income.

However, what he didn't expect was that although the entrance fees of these two membership levels really can't affect the overall situation. But for individuals, it is also quite considerable, mainly because the number of members recruited by the "Qin's Dessert House" every day is too small, not to mention that the number of "gold members" is quite small, and even the silver members and bronze members are currently extremely limited, so the silver members and bronze members have also become the objects of competition.

And compared to Gold and Silver members, the competition for Bronze members can be regarded as the most fierce. Because its price is the lowest, the number of people who can compete is naturally the most. That is, objectively greatly pushed up the price of bronze membership, so, its recent initiation fee. Basically, there is no less than one hundred taels of silver. Compared with the original initial price of ten taels of silver, it has indeed increased more than ten times.

As for Gold and Silver members, although the overall increase in membership fees is much higher than that of Bronze members, it is still in multiples. It is indeed inferior to the bronze member, such as the silver member, which has probably only increased by about five times, and as for the gold member, it is only about three times, and with the advancement of time, it has been declining, but the membership of the bronze member has been rising, and now it is no less than one hundred and twenty-one, so the one hundred taels of silver brought by Yang Jing is naturally not enough.

"However, if you just want to taste the dim sum of the 'Qin's Dessert House', the old slave happens to have a bronze membership card of the 'Qin's Dessert House' here. It's just that this bronze membership card can't be seated in the 'Qin's Dessert House'......"

"What? Do you have a Bronze membership card? ”

Hearing Yang An's sudden words, Yang Jingke didn't care about why the bronze members couldn't sit in the 'Qin's Dessert House', he only knew how inappropriate it was to have such a bronze membership card worth more than one hundred taels of silver as Yang An.

It is no wonder that although in this era, the commodity economy can be said to be extremely advanced, and many of the housekeepers and servants in the wealthy families are relatively well-off, because the rewards of the master's family are not abundant.

But no matter how rich it is, it is limited, and it will not reach the level of hundreds or even thousands of taels, right?

If they really have such a net worth, what kind of servants or housekeepers do they do, wouldn't it be better to be a rich man directly? You must know that even today's princess, the monthly salary is only one hundred taels a month, and they, the housekeepers and servants, have done a lifetime in the master's house, and they can praise a hundred or dozens of taels, which is already very good. However, this is all their net worth, will they use it to get a so-called bronze membership card? Isn't that a little too extravagant? Therefore, when Yang Jing heard Yang An say that he had a bronze membership card of "Qin's Dessert House", he felt very surprised.

"Yes...... Yes, my lord. This...... This was given to the old slave by their young owner! ”

Yang An saw Yang Jing's "surprise", so he immediately understood that this was his master's misunderstanding, so he hurriedly explained. He didn't want their lord to misunderstand, this bronze membership card was made by himself.

You must know that the price of this bronze membership card on the market is already as high as one hundred and twenty taels, and he is an ordinary servant, even if he is a housekeeper in this Shangshu Mansion, but it is not so easy to save up to more than one hundred taels of silver. Moreover, if he can take out more than 100 taels of silver to handle this bronze membership card, it means that in the past ten years, how much ink should he have been greedy for ink from the Yang Mansion? Isn't that a suspicion of the owner? He's not that stupid.

"What? They gave it to you from the owner? Why did they give it to you? ”

Hearing Yang An's words, Yang Jing not only didn't feel a trace of relief, but became even more suspicious. How? He, Yang An, a small housekeeper, why did he get a different treatment from the "Qin's Dessert House"? You must know that in the current Bianliang City, there are countless princes and ministers who want to get in touch with the behind-the-scenes owners of this "Qin's Dessert House" through various relationships, but on the contrary, not many people know who the behind-the-scenes owners of this "Qin's Dessert House" are.

Of course, now everyone knows that the owner behind the "Qin's Dessert House" is an exam-taking student from Yangzhou, but not many people know who his surname is and what he looks like. And even if there are times, some news comes out from certain places, but without confirmation, no one dares to believe it too much.

"Old ...... Master, that's because the young owner of the 'Qin's Dessert House' is...... It's the old knowledge of the old slave! ”

In the end, under Yang Jing's questioning, Yang An finally began to tell the ins and outs of this matter, and after Yang Jing listened, he realized that this matter was actually quite related to him, the head of the household.
