Jiang Ming has lived for a staggering twelve thousand years. Even his master, senior brothers, and sisters have all ascended—yet he remains lying in his own grave pit, quietly waiting for death.<...
Chapter 316: The fiery Jiuyuexuan
Jiuyuexuan.
When Jiang Ming walked to the door, he smelled a strong aroma of wine. Just standing at the door made him feel relaxed and happy, as if the aroma could attract the wine bug.
It has to be said that Jiuyuexuan is indeed the most famous restaurant in West City, with a constant stream of people coming and going.
Perhaps it was because this was the West City, whether it was people from other places or people who originally lived in the Royal City, all of them were walking in. There were even too many people going in, and there was no place to sit without a reservation! Fortunately, Jiang Ming was alone, and as soon as he walked over, the waiter at the door came to greet him.
"Are you traveling alone? If you don't mind, you can share a table with a few other gentlemen. It will not affect your drinking and dining at all." The young man at the door said with a smile.
"Yeah." Jiang Ming was not arrogant.
I came here just to have a drink. The business here is booming, which just proves what the waiter in Yongdao City said. Maybe the wine here is really good.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ming became more and more excited, and forgot about disciples and assassins.
Let's have a good meal first! Led by the young man at the door, Jiang Ming came to a large table.
Most of the people sitting here came from sharing the table. When they saw Jiang Ming coming, they just glanced at him casually without any surprise.
Obviously.
Most of the people sitting here are old customers, especially a man in fancy clothes, who looks knowledgeable and makes exaggerated gestures, talking about his knowledge and experience.
"Sir, what kind of wine and snacks would you like to order?" At this time, I came to Jiang Ming and asked respectfully.
"Give me a few jars of the best wine here first, and as for the side dishes...it's up to you, just a few of the best-selling ones." Jiang Ming said casually.
Before Jiang Ming could speak, the fancy-dressed man sitting opposite him interrupted him.
"Brother, you are from another place, right?"
"Let me tell you, the best wine may not be suitable for everyone. Otherwise, you will just spend money on wine that you are not used to."
At this point, the man smiled and said, "Brother, I am also an old man in West City. I have some experience with the wine of Jiuyuexuan. Since you are new here, I still recommend you to drink Qingyu Brew first. If conditions permit, you can try other wines."
At this point, several drinkers nearby nodded.
"Brother Gu is right. If you come to West City for the first time, I recommend you drink Qingyu Brew first."
After hearing other people recommend it, Jiang Ming became curious.
The best wine is not necessarily the most suitable. Doesn’t it mean that the better the wine, the better it tastes?
Are there such things in the secular world?
"Then let's do as they say and start with ten jars." Jiang Ming thought for a while and then said.
Ten altars!
As soon as these words were uttered, not only the receptionist but also the other guests were shocked.
Is this drinking? Is he drinking it like water? And let's not talk about whether he can finish it or not. Even if it's Qingyu wine, it's not cheap in Jiuyuexuan. He asked for ten jars. Does this guy have so much money?
Seeing this, the waiter felt a little ashamed.
Obviously, everyone present already regarded Jiang Ming as a country boy.
In Jiuyuexuan, who dared to order wine jar by jar? Not to mention ten jars, it would be a huge joke for them!
"My dear brother, although Qingyu Niang is not the most expensive wine in this store, it is not cheap either. Others charge by the pot, but this is the first time I have seen it charged by the jar."
"Brother, this Qingyu wine is not the same as the wine in the countryside. Don't be too embarrassed if you can't afford it."
"Yeah, don't be so anxious."
The people around him seemed to be persuading Jiang Ming, but in fact, there was a hint of sarcasm in their words.
However, Jiang Ming didn't care about these things. After all, he really had no idea about money.
At this time, the receptionist also said: "Indeed, my guest, the price of a pot of Qingyu wine is 5,000 gold coins. If it is a jar, it will cost at least 20,000 gold coins. Ten jars will cost 200,000 gold coins..."
Speaking of this, even the receptionist felt a little numb.
For remote villages outside, ten gold coins are enough for them to live for a whole year! Even in this West City, the average person usually spends at least five hundred gold coins a year. As for sometimes wanting to spend money on high-end occasions, that would be a terrifying expense.
Two hundred thousand gold coins.
Even the prominent families in East City wouldn't dare spend like this, let alone just one person!
Hearing this, the smiles of the other customers faded a little.
Two hundred thousand gold coins. When they heard this number, their hearts trembled.
After all, those who can come here to spend money are from well-off families. But even so, hearing 200,000 gold coins still feels like an astronomical figure.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
At this time, the people sitting next to Jiang Ming smiled and said, "How is it? I didn't lie to you. The price of wine here is not as cheap as you think."
As they spoke, they all looked at Jiang Ming with a joking expression.
They wanted to see what expression Jiang Ming would have after hearing the price, after he had already spoken.
However.
Jiang Ming's expression didn't change at all, as if he hadn't even heard the price.
Just as they were about to remind Jiang Ming again, Jiang Ming frowned and asked.
"Two hundred thousand gold coins, is that a lot?"
What? Two hundred thousand gold coins, is that a lot? This question was like asking the other people present.
Two hundred thousand gold coins is not a lot? Then how many gold coins is considered a lot?
An ordinary person would have difficulty in coming up with even 2,000 gold coins, let alone 200,000. Jiang Ming, who was dressed so-so, actually dared to say such arrogant words!
This is too crazy! "Who is this guy? He didn't even blink an eye at 200,000 gold coins?"
"Either he has a mental problem, or he is just pretending to be cool. Who told him to order ten jars of Qingyu wine as soon as he arrived?"
"Haha, for people like this, just wait and see how it ends."
"That's right. It will be fun if he can't come up with so much money later."
The people around me didn't speak loudly, but everyone had the same attitude.
Apart from the royal family members who dare to be so bold, only the high-ranking officials of the dynasty and the top people in the family dare to say such things.
But who is Jiang Ming?
He was just a guy from outside, young and not that old, how could he afford to spend 200,000 gold coins? At this time, the receptionist was a little helpless and had to say, "Sir, please don't make fun of me. Let me bring you a pot of Qingyu wine. You can try it first. If it's good, you can come back next time."
This sentence also gave Jiang Ming a way out.
No matter whether Jiang Ming was pretending to be stupid or showing off, this was the perfect opportunity for him. If he still didn't step down, then he must have something wrong with his brain.
