The restaurant is set up next to the lively street, divided into two floors, although it is located in a small town like Xinan Town, but it is still full of people coming in and out, and it seems that the business is booming.

After Song Yi and the three of them entered the restaurant, they went directly to the second floor, and the final location they chose was a table near the edge of the floor, the table was only knee-high, and there were no chairs or other things, so the three of them sat on the ground, but for such a place, whether it was Xu Pang or Qiao Yun, they were very unaccustomed, they had never been to this kind of place, because they couldn't afford it.

"Young Master Song Yi, or... Let's wait for you outside, right?" As soon as they sat down, Xu Pang and Qiao Yun stood up again, ready to wait outside the restaurant for Song Yi to finish eating, anyway, less than an hour had passed since they had breakfast, and they were really not hungry at all, the most important thing was that they felt that they really shouldn't come to such a high-cost place.

This is the best restaurant in Xinan Town, but it is also the most expensive one, and it costs dozens of silver coins to eat a meal here, which is nothing to Song Yi, but it is all the income of civilians like them for a month, so there are three main kinds of people who come and go here, the first is the three major families and the inner clan personnel of the Taiyun Martial Arts Pavilion, the second is those merchants who have a good income in Xinan Town, and finally the foreign travelers who pass through Xinan Town.

"What are you doing out? I'm embarrassed that you guys are like this, so when you come, you can sit down and eat together, and you can eat whatever you want, and finally I will pay the bill. Seeing Xu Pang and the others get up, Song Yi hurriedly waved his hand to stop them and asked them to sit down.

"Young Master Song Yi, this is really..."Xu Pang still refused euphemistically, but before he finished speaking, he was pulled back to his original position by Song Yi's hand, and at the same time, Song Yi directly shouted to a service junior not far away, asking him to bring the menu.

So Xu Pang and Qiao Yun could only sit down according to what Song Yi said, and the piece of Xuanling wood that the latter was holding in his hand was also carried by Song Yi and put it on the table, and soon the service Xiao Er came with the menu, Song Yi glanced at the menu roughly, and after selecting a few dishes, he asked the service Xiao Er to hand the menu to Xu Pang, and let Qiao Yun take a look, and let them choose a few things they liked, because they didn't know how to refuse, so they had to order a dish each, but they chose the cheapest kind in the store.

"The most important thing for eating is to be happy, relaxed, and not so restrained. Song Yi said with a smile.

But for Song Yi's 'enthusiasm', Xu Pang and Qiao Yun were simply flattered, from when Song Yi came to apologize to him before, Xu Pang felt that the person in front of him didn't seem to be like a young master from a big family, and now this kind of completely treating them as friends to eat together made him feel like this, it was too weird.

Qiao Yun was also a little puzzled, since the last assassination, Young Master Song Yi seemed to have changed as a different person, and all kinds of actions didn't seem to treat her as an attendant at all, although she was still nominally an attendant, but in fact, Young Master Song Yi was much more approachable now than before.

Whether it was Xu Pang or Qiao Yun, they all had the same doubts in their hearts, but they wouldn't say it.

"That's all, pay now?" After the menu was set, Song Yi took out his money bag.

"Yes, sixty-three silver coins. The service junior glanced at the menu and concluded.

And listening to the menu price quoted by the service Xiao Er, Song Yi suddenly chuckled in his heart, it was not that he couldn't afford to pay for this meal, but through this price, he finally understood why the Song family, as a big clan, ate coarse tea and light rice at every meal, this time they chose a total of five dishes, but the price reached sixty-three silver coins, and the average of the three of them was equivalent to consuming more than twenty silver coins.

Song Yi roughly calculated in his mind that if there were two hundred people in the Song family, and every meal was this kind of restaurant-level meal, then even if the cost was greatly reduced, on average, each person would have three meals a day and ten silver coins, and two hundred people would have to use up two thousand silver coins a day, which was equivalent to twenty gold coins, and six hundred gold coins a month.

Even if the Song family is the three major families in Xinan Town, it is obviously impossible to afford such consumption, no wonder the three meals of the family are coarse tea and light rice, it seems that this kind of restaurant can only afford to eat once every three or five days.

Song Yi took out a gold coin from the money bag and handed it to the service junior, who also turned out a small bag on his waist and found thirty-seven silver coins and returned them to Song Yi.

"A few guest officers, please wait, the meal will be delivered immediately. With that, the service junior turned around and retired, and Song Yi and the three of them also sat in their original positions, waiting for the arrival of the meal, for this kind of waiting, Song Yi did not hide his excitement, this time no matter what, he had to appease his stomach.

"By the way, when are you going to go to the city to buy the materials you said before?" While waiting, Song Yi suddenly asked Xu Pang, now that Xuan Lingmu is available, the rest of the bullet gold can only be bought in the city according to what Xu Pang said, in fact, Song Yi is also very curious about how prosperous the so-called city is, and he must go to see it if he has the chance.

"The city is a hundred miles away from here, if you take a carriage, it will take a whole day to go back and forth, if Young Master Song Yi is very anxious about the 'Rubik's Cube', I can leave today, but..."

"Hehe, sorry, it's my carelessness. As soon as he heard Song Yi, he understood that the money needed to buy gold bullet materials amounted to several gold coins, which was nothing to him, but for civilians like Xu Pang and them, it was very difficult to take out a few gold coins casually, so Song Yi took out his money bag again.

This time he went out with a total of twenty gold coins, five gold coins had been used up to buy Xuanling wood before, and there were fourteen left after paying the bill this time, and for these remaining gold coins, Song Yi didn't ask Xu Pang how many gold coins he needed, so he directly took out four gold coins and ten silver coins and kept them for his own use, and the rest was handed over to Xu Pang with the money bag.

Xu Pang took the money bag and looked at it, and was shocked, because there were ten gold coins in it.

"Young Master Song Yi, this... Actually, it doesn't need to be so much. Xu Pang's hands trembled a little, he had never gotten so many gold coins, ten gold coins plus those dozens of silver coins, this was almost the total income of his family's shop for three or four years, and this time to buy bullet gold is actually far from needing so much money, about three or four gold coins are enough.

"Take it all, I didn't give it to you for nothing, half of it was used to buy materials, the other two gold coins are the honorarium you helped me this time, and the last few gold coins are considered the employment money between us. Song Yi smiled slightly, in fact, he tested Xu Pang a little this time, and the result was to see the latter's reaction, which showed that this is a more honest person, not only to see money, but also to swallow gold coins, which is also the premise of Song Yi's cooperation with others.

"Hiring money?" Xu Pang was stunned for a moment, listening to the meaning of Young Master Song Yi's words, is he going to hire himself?

"That's right, the Rubik's Cube is just the first thing, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will give you more drawings, you just need to mention what materials you need, I will solve the problem of gold coins, you just need to think about how to help me make these things, in addition, I think your store is too small, if you can, you should consider changing to a bigger room and hiring some workers." Song Yi said to Xu Pang.

At this time, Xu Pang was stunned again, he didn't know what Young Master Song Yi wanted him to help make something, but judging from the expansion of the blacksmith shop and the recruitment of other workers, the things that Young Master Song Yi wanted to make should be very complicated, perhaps because he was too curious, Xu Pang couldn't help but ask: "Young Master Song Yi, can I ask... What are you going to do?"

"I'm not sure yet, wait a few more days, I want to know a few other things first, to determine if there are really enough conditions. Song Yi replied.

And after hearing what Young Master Song Yi said, Xu Pang didn't continue to ask, although he didn't know what the conditions that Young Master Song Yi was referring to, but that was obviously not what he could know, as for the expansion of the blacksmith shop and recruiting more employees, although this matter was also extraordinary, it didn't seem to need to be implemented immediately, so what he needed to do next was to take these gold coins, go to the city to buy materials, and start studying Song Yi's drawings as soon as possible, and strive to make the 'Rubik's Cube' as soon as possible.

"Hey, have you heard? What happened yesterday, what's new today?"

"I don't know, it's just rumored that someone secretly attacked the son of the Song family's famous master, and the murderer was caught, but there is a bigger instigator behind it, and I don't know who it is!"

"Didn't the Song family say that they were going to do it yesterday? Why hasn't there been any movement until today?"

"Hehe, maybe the matter has been solved secretly, this Xinan Town seems to be calm, but in fact it is an open and secret fight. ”

"So who is that commander?"

"Who has reliable information?"

When Song Yi and the three of them were waiting for the food to be served, they suddenly heard some discussions from not far away, it was some surrounding diners gossiping together, and the discussion was naturally the matter that began to spread all over Xinan Town yesterday, Song Yi listened to it in his ears, and just smiled lightly, because only he knew that the spread of this matter was still part of his plan, but he didn't expect this effect to still remain, obviously everyone took this matter seriously.

And as soon as he thought of this matter, Song Yi thought in his heart, and he didn't know how the Song Cang family master dealt with all the follow-up things after they left the council hall last night, and how Song You was disposed of? And Song Tianyuan, who was rescued, didn't know what the situation was now, it seemed that he had to find a chance to visit after he went back, and ask some things by the way.

At this time, Xu Pang and Qiao Yun also heard these discussions, unlike others, they knew a little bit of the inside story, so facing Song Yi sitting in front of them, they were a little surprised, who would have thought that it would be such a teenager who would crack this matter in just a few hours?

Young Master Song Yi is really powerful, how surprised would these diners around them be if they knew that Young Master Song Yi was sitting near them, but seeing that everyone ignored Song Yi's appearance, Xu Pang could also judge that Young Master Song Yi should rarely appear on big occasions, and there are not many people who know him.

Soon, the service junior brought over all the meals, and the boiling heat rose, making Song Yi a little impatient, Xu Pang and Qiao Yun were a little speechless about this, why didn't they see the elegance of a young master from Song Yi's body?

"Don't look at it, eat it while it's hot. Song Yi urged Xu Pang and the others, and then he himself picked up chopsticks and began to put a steamed fish clip, which was no different from eating with civilians like them, which caused Qiao Yun to laugh, and this smile happened to be captured by Song Yi.

Qiao Yun's face changed slightly, for fear that Song Yi would think that she was laughing at him, but Song Yi responded with a smile: "Isn't it nice for you to smile? ”

is so casual, so approachable, and there is no hypocrisy, which suddenly made Xu Pang and Qiao Yun feel the extraordinaryness of Song Yi, and the wariness of the noble person in their hearts also involuntarily dispersed a little.

I don't know how to say it, but they think the atmosphere is very warm now.
