Wen Xiangrong showed an embarrassed look on his face, he only had few guests in the Zhuangzi, and it was opened by Dayan Kingdom specifically for slaughtering them, but he didn't want to make the Zhuangzi seem silent because of their arrival, thinking about the Zhuangzi who was thriving on weekdays because of their arrival, he became depressed, and the silver they spent may not be eyed.

But since the girls have said that they earn more from listening to Xiaoqu than from holding boats, they are not easy to pretend to be confused, and they really want to hear what Dayanguo's Xiaoqu is like, Wen Xiangrong said: "The little girl can still sing?" Why don't you sing a few songs to us? ”

The girl was overjoyed when she heard this, and immediately took a booklet from her side, Wen Xiangrong took it, and it turned out to be the title of a small song, followed by the price of a small song, which is not expensive, each song only costs one or two silver, and it is enough to listen to one of ten taels or eight taels.

So, I ordered two songs for the girl to sing, and the girl showed her singing voice, such as the yellow warbler's cry, the beautiful tune was accompanied by the clear and tactful water waves, different from Jiang Mengguo's music style, it was very refreshing, Wen Xiangrong couldn't help but nod when he heard it, it was really good, this cruise was really worth it.

The boat walks between the lotus flowers and lotus leaves, the water waves reflect the colorful sun shadows, the gentle breeze blows on the body, there is no usual heat, the ears are Qingyue's singing, and several people listen to it drowsy, until the two songs are sung, the girl drank a sip of her own water, and looked at Wen Xiangrong and others with a little more expectation in their eyes, but gradually the expectation was about to turn into disappointment.

Wen Xiangrong and the others didn't understand what the look in the girl's eyes meant, and a silver ingot was thrown over from the small boat passing by next to her, and it landed at the girl's feet, and the girl immediately smiled all over her face, picked up the silver and stuffed it into her arms, and thanked the envoy on the small boat repeatedly, "Thank you for the reward, what song do you want to listen to?" ”

Wen Xiangrong realized that after the girl finished singing, she was waiting for a reward, but he didn't expect it. Looking at the uncle who threw the silver over, sure enough, people still know how to play, that ingots of silver have to have a dozen taels, and they actually listened to two tunes and rewarded them.

After that, other boats also sounded different tunes one after another, each with its own characteristics, so that a girl with such a singing voice can support the boat, this Zhuangzi is really not simple, or is it said that the people of Dayan are so good at making money?

When he learned that a lotus flower costs one or two silver, Wen Xiangrong felt that it was more expensive, but when he thought that it was because of their arrival, Zhuangzi could not earn any other silver, and he could understand this price, but looking at almost every boat with half a boat of lotuses, he was really distressed, in fact, they should have known that lotus flowers also cost money, otherwise the lotus flowers in the river would not have been harvested long ago?

Fortunately, the steward once again promised to make the lotus into soft fried lotus for them for free, Wen Xiangrong was not so distressed as if he was cut with a knife, speaking of which Wen Xiangrong was born in the war, and lived a life of displacement with his family since he was a child, until the war subsided, his life was stable, although he finally climbed to the position of the right minister, but he was still a very frugal person in his bones, and the comfortable days did not pass for a few days.

Although soft-fried lotus flowers are the princess's favorite delicacy, a group of big men can't just eat flowers, so the fish caught yesterday can also continue to eat.

At noon, it is a table full of fish dishes, in addition to all kinds of spicy, braised and sour, sweet and sour, the most enjoyable thing for them to eat is boiled fish, spicy people can't help but inhale, but still reluctant to stop, hot days, one by one eat sweaty, but extremely enjoyable.

It's too spicy to eat, so I want to drink water, and drink the fruit drink herbal tea with ice one by one, and wait until I have eaten it and drink it, and then settle the account...... Well, fried lotus and fish are free, but the drink costs money, especially those herbal teas that they have never drunk before, but have a faint sweetness and fragrance when they drink, which are said to be made with dozens of precious medicinal herbs, and the price is naturally high.

Remove the free lotus flowers and fish, and confiscate the money for rice, and drink more than 1,000 taels of silver just for the iced tea, which is still undercounted by the Zhuangzi steward for the sake of their faces as Jiangmeng's guests.

But how can Wen Xiangrong think that it is precisely because they are from Jiangmeng that Zhuangzi has more stewards? More than 1,000 taels of herbal tea is really expensive, that is, they have never drunk this kind of herbal tea, and there is no way to compare, so they can only pay for it resignedly.

Fortunately, it's just a meal, and they really eat a thousand taels, and it's not that they can't accept it, and the taste is actually still earned compared to the first meal.

Or do you still eat fish at night?

Just when Wen Xiangrong was thinking so, the steward of Zhuangzi came again, "Lord Wen, you caught too many fish yesterday, and some of them are no longer fresh after being released for a day, are you throwing them away?" Or is it made into salted fish? ”

As soon as Wen Xiangrong heard that it could be made into salted fish, he became interested, "What about making salted fish?" ”

The steward said: "Although you can't eat salted fish for the time being, you can take it back and give it away." ”

Wen Xiangrong felt that this proposal was good, even if he didn't give it away, he could take it back and eat it himself, after all, fish were quite expensive, so he asked Zhuangzi's steward to make the fish into salted fish, so as not to waste it.

The steward went down happily, Wen Xiangrong sat there and opened a total of money, fishing costs money, lotus picking also costs money, does it cost money to help make salted fish? After they arrived in Zhuangzi, they even spent more than 1,000 taels of silver to drink a few bowls of herbal tea, but don't make salted fish and ask for money.

Wen Xiangrong immediately asked people to ask the steward, but when he found the steward, those fish had already been pickled, and when he learned that a fish was pickled for one or two silver, Wen Xiangrong twitched the corner of his mouth, compared to the high price of eating this time, in fact, the price of fish is still acceptable, but if you buy a bunch of fish outside, how big is it for one or two silver?

But the fish of the people has been salted, and as the image of Jiang Mengguo, of course they can't go back.

And when it came to dinner, Wen Xiangrong finally seemed to have found a way not to continue to be slaughtered too harshly. The envoys all admired the reputation of Dayan barbecue and wanted to taste the taste of barbecue, so Wen Xiangrong took out a thousand taels of silver and handed it to the steward, "If we want to eat barbecue at night, let's prepare it according to one thousand taels!" ”

The steward took the silver, 'hehe' smiled, although a meal slaughtering 50,000 taels of people is quite enjoyable, but it can't really slaughter people away, although 1,000 taels can't be compared with 50,000 taels, but these more than 50 people eat barbecue, that must be enough, this time they don't need to do it in person, let people drive into the city, and go to Lingji to roast the whole sheep to pull ten roast sheep back, five people and one sheep is enough to eat, and then get some snacks, wine and sour plum soup or something, these fifty people have dinner.

Wen Xiangrong was very satisfied with the dinner, and felt that it was better to take the money first and then let people prepare the food, and besides, isn't this food not bad? There is meat and wine, which is much more cost-effective than drinking 1,000 taels of herbal tea when eating fish at noon.

However, that herbal tea is really a good thing, I didn't expect it before, and then I thought about it, Jiangmeng seems to have sold herbal tea bags in China, but they are all crushed and broken, and I can't see what it is, but the price is really expensive, a few taels of silver and a small bag, it is said that it was passed from the Great Yan Kingdom. It's just that it's too expensive, Wen Xiangrong, who has always been frugal, has never bought it, and now that he thinks about it, a small bag is a few taels of silver, and he can make a few bowls, and he drank more than a thousand taels of herbal tea at noon, which doesn't seem to be expensive.

I just don't know how much silver a pack of herbal tea is sold in Dayan China, if it's cheap, you have to buy some when you have the opportunity to go out.

Of course, in order to eat well and save money tomorrow morning, Wen Xiangrong took another hundred taels of silver to the steward, hoping to have a delicious and money-saving breakfast tomorrow morning.

The steward looked at the one hundred taels of silver, frowned, and said with a smile: "Lord Wen, you really know how to live, one hundred taels of silver...... Can't you even let me earn some money? ”

After speaking, he took the silver, "Okay, since Lord Wen is a thrifty and good official, I have always admired a thrifty good official the most, one hundred taels of silver, I promise to let you all eat well." ”

Wen Xiangrong was complimented by this, but it sounded like he was disgusted and his face turned red and blue, maybe it's always good to save some silver, who let them have more people this time, they want to eat well and eat saved, in fact, it is not very easy.

Ningyuan Palace, He Louyuan flipped through the account book that had just been sent, and raised his eyebrows when he saw the end, "Fifty thousand taels for a meal?" Celebrate your birthday, this kid really dares to ask for it! ”

Ling Xiaorou leaned over and took a few looks, and said with a smile: "Isn't he going to get married, he wants to save a few wives, anyway, these envoys of Jiang Mengguo are stupid and have a lot of money, who will they kill if they don't kill them?" ”

He Louyuan smiled, "I'm not afraid that he will slaughter everyone, and those Jiangmeng people will not dare to come over to send silver in the future, won't this become a hammer deal?" ”

Ling Xiaorou thought for a while, "It's the same reason, in the future, you can talk to him well, and these envoys will be slaughtered, if the tourists from Jiang Mengguo come over, they can't be slaughtered so ruthlessly, and it will be almost the same if they are slaughtered three or five times, and there are souvenirs with Dayan characteristics like herbal tea and dried fish, which can't be sold too low, let's still make money by this." ”

"Fifty people spent a thousand taels to drink a meal of herbal tea, do you think he will sell it at a lower price?" He Louyuan couldn't cry or laugh, the Jiangmeng envoys were probably scolding their mothers in their hearts at this time, but when they thought that the Jiangmeng people had sold Fushou paste in Weicheng Mansion, it was really not too much to slaughter them, but it was a pity that Wen Xiangrong in the Jiangmeng envoys was not a fool, he learned to be smart after being slaughtered a few times, and now it is impossible to slaughter tens of thousands of taels or tens of thousands of taels again.

Ling Xiaorou couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, to put it mildly, they treated those guests much more ruthlessly than she did on her birthday, so she didn't need to worry about it at all.
