Volume 2 The Mortal World Chapter 10 Rewarding
At the door of a room framed by black wood and with a little fragrance, Xiao Er skillfully opened the lock, made a gesture of please, and waited for Qingbai and Black Grains to go in, and then followed in.
"Guest officer, this is the best first-class room in the shop. ”
"Guest, please see. ”
Xiao Er walked to the window, opened the window, pointed outside, and said.
Qingbai followed unhurriedly.
When Qingbai followed the direction pointed by Xiao Er, Xiao Er continued to speak:
"From here, it is the most prosperous commodity street in Yuetai City, which contains more than seventy percent of the commercial types in Yuetai City, such as spring buildings, baths, pharmacies, and iron shops. ”
"It's the key to another room. ”
The shopkeeper handed over the other key in his hand to Qingbai.
"The small one has opened two rooms on the opposite side of the door, and the window of the opposite room is the street in front of the small shop, and most of the hotels in Yuetai City are on this street. ”
"By the way, the Bounty Guild in Yuetai City is just outside the small shop to the left, half a mile away. ”
"The first floor is a place to eat, if the guest officer wants to eat, just shout, we can send you directly to the room. ”
The shopkeeper explained to Qingbai endlessly.
"Okay, I see, I'll call you for dinner. ”
Nodding indifferently, Qingbai said very plainly.
"Okay, you can call me for something. ”
The shopkeeper wanted to say something, but seeing Qingbai's gradually impatient look, he still didn't say anything, and slowly retreated.
The door has been quietly closed by Xiao Er when Xiao Er left, Qingbai waited for a while, and then reopened the door, seeing that no one passed by outside the door, and the rooms on both sides were still locked, there should be no one occupied, so he closed the door, and then nodded at the black grain.
In an instant, the black grains whose eyes were originally a little dull suddenly became bright.
"Why don't you let him continue? ”
After making sure that there was no one around and that no one would eavesdrop on their conversation, Black Grains asked directly.
"You don't understand that. If we ask him everything, he will know that we don't know anything, what if he lies to us?"
Qingbai said a little proudly.
"So we have to pretend that we know everything and ask what we want to know. ”
Qingbai spoke again.
"Uh...... So how do we get the news?"
Black Grain asked, staring at Qingbai.
"I've thought about this for a long time, isn't the first floor a place to eat, I noticed when I came up before, people there are basically chatting when eating, we can eat there while listening to what other people are saying. ”
"Maybe there's something we want to know. ”
"And what we hear, they won't lie to lie to us, will they?"
Qingbai explained while thinking.
"Makes sense. ”
Black Grains suddenly realized, and looked at Qingbai with some appreciation.
"Well, then I'll go down first. ”
Qingbai said and walked out the door.
"You go down first, so what should I do?"
I didn't want to be black, but I ran in front of Qingbai in two steps, blocking Qingbai's way.
"You see, they didn't let you in before, but I opened a room for you to let you in. ”
"I'm here to inquire about the news, so naturally I can't attract the attention of others, and it's too ostentatious to take you. ”
Looking at the black grains in front of him, Qingbai explained helplessly.
"Remember to bring me some, I haven't eaten yet. ”
Reluctantly getting out of the way, Black Grains finally admonished.
Qingbai nodded, flashed, and went to the door, and after closing the door, he swaggered downstairs.
"Guest officer, if you want to eat, I'll send it to you, why bother seeing you come down for a walk. ”
Seeing Qingbai walking down from upstairs, Xiao Er didn't follow up immediately, and seeing that Qingbai found a place to sit down, Xiao Er hurriedly walked over.
Sometimes it's not good to ask too much, in case Qingbai has something to go out, as an ordinary shopkeeper, he doesn't have the qualifications to know what the guest is going to do.
"I like the atmosphere. ”
Qingbai found a reason that he felt a little lame and explained, but even with such a lame reason, whether Xiao Er believed it or not, he trusted Qingbai's words 100%.
"What do you want to eat, officer?"
Xiao Er asked very earnestly.
"What do you have here?"
Qingbai asked rhetorically.
"The shop is the largest restaurant in the city, and it can be said that it has all kinds of food. ”
"Why don't I tell you about our signature dish here?"
As soon as he heard Qingbai ask what dishes were here, Xiao Er suddenly came to his senses, but after saying a word, he hesitated and asked.
"Hmm. ”
Qingbai nodded.
"There are a lot of signature dishes in the shop, such as juicy mandarin duck tubes, sesame phoenix rolls, colorful parfait cakes, moon cinnamon, Jiaoying butterflies, palace fried chicken, steamed crucian carp ......"
Looking at Xiao Er, who was gushing and reciting the recipe, Qingbai's attention slowly turned to other directions.
"Guest, is there anything you'd like to try?"
Before Qingbai knew it, Xiao Er had stopped, and after waiting for a while, he saw that Qingbai had not reacted, so he asked.
"Whatever you want, whichever person orders that dish will serve, five dishes will do. ”
Hearing the words of the shopkeeper, Qingbai came back to his senses, and then thought about it and said casually.
He didn't hear much about the name of the dish that the shopkeeper had reported before, and all his attention was focused on the other tables, trying to hear some useful news.
"Guest, what do you think about the drinks?"
Xiao Er asked again
"No need. ”
Qingbai shook his head directly and said.
"Okay. ”
Xiao Er hurriedly agreed, and then ran to the counter to report the name of the dish inside.
Although it was obvious that Qingbai didn't listen to him, it would be nice for the guests to look at them a few times.
After waiting for the dishes to be served, Xiao Er waited for a while, and left with a somewhat depressed mood after seeing that Qingbai had no other instructions.
Qingbai listened to the conversation of the other diners while eating, but unfortunately did not hear anything useful.
However, Qingbai also found out why the little second was a little depressed.
It turns out that most people will give some tips in addition to paying for the meal when they leave after eating.
Maybe when he finished ordering food in the room before, Xiao Er's deliberate delay was just to wait for the tip.
It's a pity that I met Qingbai, who didn't understand anything, and that consumption was obviously wasted.
"Little two, check out. ”
Following the example of others, Qingbai shouted directly.
"Come on. ”
This time it was another shopkeeper who came, and although the shopkeeper was standing not far away, he didn't come.
"Guest officer, you need a total of one hundred and three copper plates for these dishes. ”
Xiao Er took the list he took from the counter and said to the quantity.
"So much?"
Qingbai said in surprise.
"I don't have that many copper plates, you can calculate how many gold or silver coins you convert, and I'll make it up for you. ”
Qingbai thought for a while and said.
It's no wonder that Qingbai made a fuss, but Qingbai thought about it carefully, and the total number of copper plates he found in that box didn't seem to be a hundred, most of them were some silver coins, and a small amount of gold coins.
"Guest, you are joking, you have a gold coin in the account of the small shop, even if you deduct today's room money and this meal, there are nearly nine hundred and ninety-four silver coins. ”
Xiao Er said with a smile.
"And so many?"
Hearing that he still had so many silver coins, Qingbai said in some surprise.
"How much does a room cost for a day?"
Qingbai asked.
"Three silver coins a day, you are two houses, so six silver coins a day. ”
Xiao Er replied.
"So, how much silver is a gold coin?"
Qingbai asked again.
Hearing this, Xiao Er glanced at Qingbai in surprise, but then replied, "One gold coin is equivalent to a thousand silver coins." ”
"One silver coin is equivalent to a thousand copper plates. ”
"This is the unified regulation of our Heavenly Source Kingdom. ”
Xiao Er replied to Qingbai's words, and added again.
"If that's the case, I don't have it, well......"
"Nine hundred and ninety-three thousand eight hundred and ninety-seven copper plates?"
Qingbai pondered for a moment and said.
"Hmmm......"
When Qingbai asked this sentence, Xiao Er did not give an answer immediately, but suddenly fell silent.
"The little one isn't as good as you, but that's pretty much it. ”
After a while, Xiao Er replied with a somewhat tangled face.
Hearing Xiao Er's words, Qingbai suddenly felt a tangle in his heart.
"How many copper plates do you need to pay the toll when you enter Platform City?"
Qingbai vaguely remembered that the toll to enter the city seemed to be the five copper plates that the killer said, and others seemed to have paid five copper plates when they entered the city, but he gave a silver coin.
One silver coin is equal to a thousand copper plates, so if you say this, you directly give two hundred times, so it's no wonder that the city guard's attitude suddenly became better.
"The toll to enter the city is generally five copper plates, of course, if your household address is in the city, you do not need to pay this toll. ”
Xiao Er patiently explained.
Hearing this expected answer, Qingbai suddenly felt bad in his heart.
"Can you tell me how much you get paid in a day?"
Qingbai asked.
The reason why I asked this so much was because Qingbai always felt that this Xiao Er felt different from the previous Xiao Er gave him, and there was no more groveling appearance of the previous Xiao Er after seeing the gold coin, but it made Qing Bai very natural.
"Our wages a day are five copper plates, fifteen for cooks, and one hundred for shopkeepers a day. ”
Xiao Er didn't hide it, and said it directly.
"Five copper plates, so few?"
Isn't there only five copper plates, and the toll at the gate of the city is five? If the family is outside the city, isn't it just a toll-toll-toll-once a day?
"Guest, you're laughing again!"
"We don't have a lot of five copper plates, and the highest copper plate in an ordinary restaurant is only five copper plates. ”
"But their restaurant can't compare with our welcome guests, our guests are basically the magnates of Yuetai City, and the one who is in a good mood can give us a reward casually, which is enough for our wages for a long time. ”
Xiao Er always had a smile on his face that made people feel very sincere.
"You guys should be the most expensive in the city, right?"
Qingbai remembered that Xiao Er said before that this restaurant is one of the two largest restaurants in the entire platform city, so the price here should be relatively high.
"You're pretty much the same, but in fact, the price of the platform restaurant will be higher than ours. ”
"Of course, if you can come to us to welcome guests, you will naturally not be short of money. ”
Xiao Er explained.
"Alright, make another of these five dishes and send them to my room, and take out two hundred copper plates from the rest of the money, and I will reward you." ”
Qingbai nodded, stood up and pointed to the food on the table.
"That, guest officer, I'm sorry, the shop has a rule, and we can take a maximum of 100 copper plates at a time, so I will only take 100 copper plates, but I still thank you very much for your kindness. ”
Qingbai was just about to go upstairs, but Xiao Er continued.
Hearing this, Qingbai glanced back at Xiao Er in surprise.
"You have this rule, and when I enter the city, the guard will take me a whole silver coin. ”
Qingbai said a little speechlessly.
"If you don't have a copper plate to eat, I can help you change some copper plates to bring on. ”
Xiao Er explained.
"Forget it, I have the copper plate, but I didn't expect him to dare to collect so much. ”
With a wave of his hand, Qingbai slowly walked upstairs.
And when Qingbai left, the shopkeeper naturally took eighty copper plates from the shopkeeper standing at the counter.
As for why only eighty are given for a hundred copper plates, Xiao Er has long been used to it and didn't say anything.
I walked into the kitchen with the list and packed the meal according to the meaning of Qingbai.
And after Xiao Er entered the kitchen in this shop, Xiao Er, who led the way to Qingbai at the beginning, was dazzled, and hurriedly ran to the counter and whispered to the shopkeeper called Brother Liu.
