Chapter 145: The Imperial City is Not Easy to Mix!
Chapter 145
Ten gold coins, this is simply unimaginable for Li Ruotong, who has been diligent and thrifty for so many years, and has never been so extravagant.
However, although the price of the imperial city is expensive, there is obviously a big element of injustice in it, and there are many people from outside the imperial city recently, and these are all fat sheep!
Eating here, collecting money also depends on the person, Luo Chen is dressed in cloth, Li Ruotong is also in ordinary clothes, Yin Yin is wearing well, but on the whole, in the eyes of the people of the imperial city, it is still a dirt bun, whenever they meet such a guest, they will deliberately raise the price, anyway, there is no background, and they don't dare to make trouble!
It's an unspoken rule, not only in this inn, but in many nearby shops.
Luo Chen didn't know, otherwise, he would have made a fuss like the young man before.
After eating, the three of them went to find a store that was about to close down, and after some interrogation, it was just such an ordinary shop, and they would collect a thousand gold coins a month!
When they heard this price, even Li Ruotong was a little annoyed, they really thought they were fools! In this way, they would have to take out 12,000 gold coins for nothing just to pay the faΓ§ade money a year, and according to their situation, they would have to rent here for at least three years, and if they totaled, that would be 36,000 gold coins! This is not counting anything else.
Since it is a faΓ§ade, it is naturally impossible to open directly in such a tattered state, obviously it still needs to be renovated, in addition, some simple furniture still has to be prepared, and it is just such a room, not even a place to sleep and wash.
They don't have a lot of gold coins on hand, and the owner of this shop is very persistent, and he doesn't even have room for negotiation.
"Forget Sister Ruotong, just such a dilapidated faΓ§ade, even if it is rented, this business is estimated to not be able to get up, otherwise, there is no need to go out of business, a thousand gold coins a month, just this broken shop?
There are shops in the market, there is no suitable street, and another one is, but the tone of this little old man makes him very disliked, and the attitude is obviously to say what's wrong with bullying you?
"Young man, how are you talking? Am I alone in bullying the little old man? Hmph!"
The little old man was right, and when he said this, he walked out of the shop, first squatted on the ground and blew the dust, and then just lay down on the ground and sprinkled it. β
"Oh, I'm bullying people, I'm going to beat people to death! Come on! The old people from the outer city are bullying our old people in the imperial city, and they are forced to buy and sell! I'm just such a shop! I've smashed them!"
shouted like this, a group of people trotted not far away, and when they entered the shop, they smashed it vigorously, and after smashing, they surrounded Luo Chen and the three of them.
At this time, there were many people around one after another, pointing and pointing.
Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, looked at the little old man lying on the ground and said, "What do you mean?"
"Hey, shop, the previous price, 1,000 gold coins per month, not much, you can do it yourself. β
This little old man is obviously also a Soul Fighting Master realm powerhouse, and the star level does not seem to be low, but he used rumors to force his voice into two sound lines, which entered the ears of Luo Chen and Li Ruotong respectively, and he was not noticed, it was worthy of being an imperial city, and there were indeed many people who hid dragons and crouching tigers.
"Young man, I'm not afraid of causing trouble, but you, if I'm not mistaken, I'm here, right? According to the laws of the Imperial City, anyone who makes trouble in the Imperial City will be imprisoned for at least a few days.
I don't care, old man, anyway, it's not once or twice to go in, it's exactly the same as going home, but you, hehe, if you delay the enrollment and admissions because of this, the gains outweigh the losses. β
After the transmission was over, the old man continued to sprinkle, grinning with a mouthful of big yellow teeth, and a jade denture inlaid on his teeth, as if he had occupied a leek leaf, and he was disgusting to death.
Li Ruotong was about to smoke on the top of his head, which was clearly a scoundrel.
"A thousand gold coins are a thousand gold coins. β
Luo Chen squinted his eyes, Li Ruotong frowned, but he didn't say anything, just sighed, forget it, it's a big deal to stay for a month with a thousand gold coins, and after the college enrollment test is over, it will be refunded directly next month.
"Hey, young people are happy to do things! I like old man. β
The little old man got up from the ground in one fell swoop, took out the contract prepared in advance from his arms, and handed it to Luo Chen.
"How about it, old man, I don't bully you too much, it's just a one-month contract period, and after a month, the bridge returns to the bridge and the road returns, we don't know each other, young man, it's far from being as simple as you think, old man, I'm also teaching you a lesson, hehe......"
"One month is too little, so I'm going to change it to a three-year contract. β
After a slight glance, Luo Chen directly threw it back to the old man, Li Ruotong was anxious, this is obviously slandering, what kind of moth is this guy doing?
"Sister Ruotong, believe me, you don't need to spend a single gold coin. β
Luo Chen grinned at Li Ruotong, revealing a row of white teeth.
"Three years, young man, are you making fun of the old man?"
"I have two gold cards here, and there are not many gold coins, only four thousand, which is considered a deposit. β
He took out the gold card from his arms, shook it in front of the old man, and said with a smile.
"Are you sure? Three years, that's 36,000 gold coins!"
"Sure and sure, but ...... One room is not enough, and we also want the back room of the store. β
Although this shop is a little old, the location is still quite good.
"It's easy to say, come with me. β
The old man leaned over, with his hands behind his back, so he walked towards the smashed West Bar broken shop, Luo Chen followed closely, the shop was smashed at a very artistic level, some valuable things did not move, but some dilapidated stools and tables were smashed a lot, although it looked like a mess, but it was not worth a few dollars at all.
"It's very professional, the ones hired outside cost a lot of gold coins, right?"
Luo Chen said with a smile.
"Not much, old customers, very cheap, twenty gold coins a day. β
This old man is also quite upright, and it can be seen that this shop used to be a tea shop, and the store is quite spacious, with two small bedrooms in the inner room, and they are only separated by a curtain from each other before.
The old man trembled and took out a stack of rice paper from a tea jar, and soon drew up two identical contracts.
"This is a three-year paper contract, see if there is a problem, if there is no problem, press your own handprint, and after a while, the old man will go to the private department to press the seal, and the contract will take effect. β
"Don't look at it, but whose thing is smashed before?"
Saying this, Luo Chen took one of the two contracts and handed it to Li Ruotong.
"If you want, I can change you to a new set, old man. β
Some worthless broken tables and chairs, even if they are replaced, they don't cost fifty gold coins, they are just some cheap goods that are not useful.
"Sister Ruotong, it's a little noisy outside, close the door. β
When the old man heard this, he immediately became vigilant.
"Hehe, the old man doesn't need to be nervous, he just wants to do business with you again. β
This old guy's cultivation is not simple, and he is obviously an old hooligan leader, they are new to the city, they are not familiar with the place, and it is still a critical period for the enrollment of the martial arts academy, so naturally they will not choose this time to make trouble.
Although this old man was vigilant, he was also very calm from beginning to end.
"Boy, I have a bottle of Fighting Soul Liquid here, and I ask the old man to taste some and see if it can be worth a thousand gold coins. β
Saying this, Luo Chen took out a rough small jade bottle from his arms, and the old man played with it for a while, then took off the cork of the jade bottle, sniffed it for a moment, and said disdainfully: "Hey, it's just a three-grade fighting soul liquid, it's a rotten street, it's very ordinary, and it's only worth fifty gold coins at most, old man, I only like gold coins, and I don't have the slightest interest in these fighting soul liquids mixed with water."
If you want to fool the old man with this thing, I will pay the rent, and there is no door. β
"Fifty gold coins, isn't it? The old man might as well taste it again, and besides, although the jade bottle is rough, the fighting soul liquid inside is genuine. β
Fifty gold coins?Who fooled you, even if this thing was placed in the royal city, it was worth at least five hundred gold coins.
"Huh, what a pure Fighting Soul Liquid! But even so, it was far more than a thousand gold coins. β
"Then this Fighting Spirit Liquid still has a healing effect?"
"It's still not worth it! It's a good thing, but the grade is still too low, young man, this thing is still rare in other places, but this is the imperial city, and ordinary soul fighting liquid abounds, don't say that the third-grade fighting soul liquid, if you have money, you can go directly to the imperial capital, and even sell the eight-grade and ninth-grade fighting soul liquid.
However, your three-grade Fighting Soul Liquid is indeed very good, and it is worth three hundred gold coins. β
The old man casually threw the jade bottle to Luo Chen, and said with a smile: "The Imperial City is the political and economic center of the Heaven Dou Empire, and the ordinary Fighting Soul Liquid is not attractive, but it ...... Hey...... I have an idea, old man, but ......."
Luo Chen frowned and said in a low voice, "What's the idea?"
"Hehe, now it's the day of the Martial Arts Academy's freshman assessment and recruitment, these Fighting Soul Liquid have been selling very well recently, old man, I can also count on some energy, your Fighting Soul Liquid is quite peculiar, but you can deceive those foreign goods, hehe...... But afterwards, I'm going to take fifty percent!"
"Fifty percent, why don't you die? This can't be!"
The price expected by the old man made it difficult for him to accept, not to mention him, even if it was Li Ruotong, his face at this time was a little unpleasant.
"Hey, young man, can you sign the three-year contract?"
"No money, sign a fart!"
took the paper contract from Li Ruotong's hand, and tore it up on the spot, and the old man didn't care, he was still young......!
