Xiao Er was confused for a moment, "It has always been..."
"In the past, one tael of silver could buy three pots!" Su Bei said with his eyes wide open.
The waiter said angrily: "That was a long time ago..."
"Just a few years ago, it was still one tael of silver for two pots!" Su Bei said confidently.
"That was eight years ago!" The waiter looked embarrassed. "Do you want it or not?"
"What about the beef? How much silver is a plate?" Su Bei said, glancing at Xian Liao.
Xian Liao glanced at Zhao Yulong, his expression obviously a little embarrassed.
The waiter told him the price of beef, and Su Bei gave the same excuse. She asked about two other things, and the answer was the same.
Zhao Yulong took the opportunity to say, "Look, I'm not lying to you, am I? It was a long time ago that you last bought something. Everything is expensive now. Not to mention that Gu worms are precious things. They need to be fed with blood, and the blood is produced by eating a lot of meat and drinking a lot of wine. How can the price not increase?"
This makes sense.
It’s not that Xian Liao didn’t have enough money. The Queen of the Underworld had invested a lot of money this time and brought him gold notes worth 100,000 taels of gold.
But now he is a pauper and wants to make some private money...
He was just hesitating when he heard Chu Younan speak, "It's a little expensive, but you are a blessed person. It's not a problem to earn this little money to have enough food and drink. Why bother about it being a little more expensive?"
Su Bei nodded, "You're right, it's good to make money after eating! Waiter! Bring up all your good wine and food!"
The waiter breathed a sigh of relief and agreed happily.
Zhao Yulong, who was sitting at the table next to him, also said, "I think you are a blessed person. After using this puppet Gu, you will probably get whatever you want. By then, let alone 50,000 taels, you will probably get a hundred 50,000 taels!"
These words caused Xian Liao to feel extremely comfortable.
The Northland and the Wu Kingdom are the strongest countries on this continent. Not to mention unifying the world, just controlling the Northland means controlling millions of taels of gold, countless beauties and delicacies...
Xian Liao was moved, nodded, and took out his wallet.
It's done.
Su Bei and Chu Younan were feasting on the food, pretending not to know Zhao Yulong. When Xian Liao left, Zhao Yulong came over again.
"Girl, brother, thanks to you two, I made another big deal!" Zhao Yulong showed his joy without concealing it at all.
Su Bei teased, "I've helped you so much, why don't you give me some? I don't want much, just... give me half when we meet!"
"Half?!" Zhao Yulong was so shocked that he almost fell off the stool. "This, this, this, is too much? Don't you know that it costs money to raise Gu..."
Seeing that he was about to start nagging again, Su Bei quickly raised his hand, "Stop! If you don't give it to me, I will go tell that person just now that your Gu... is fake..."
Su Bei had already lowered her voice for the last few words, but Zhao Yulong came up and covered her mouth, "Don't say it, don't say it! This must not be known to anyone!"
But before his hand touched Su Bei's face, Chu Younan grabbed it and twisted it hard.
Zhao Yulong grimaced in pain, "Don't...don't...we can talk it over...we can talk it over..."
Naturally, this matter cannot be discussed in public. Xian Liao also lives here, and Zhao Yulong doesn't want to ruin his reputation.
So the three of them got up and went upstairs.
The waiter came over and said, "You two, the bill for the meal hasn't been paid yet!"
"He'll pay!" Su Bei said, and glanced at Zhao Yulong. "A meal doesn't cost much money. You wouldn't be unhappy with that, would you?"
The waiter looked at Zhao Yulong with extremely complicated eyes. You know, Zhao Yulong only ordered two bowls of noodles every time he came, and the two bowls just now were charged to Xianliao's account.
How could a person like him who only takes advantage of others pay for this meal? It would cost more than ten taels!
But to his surprise, Zhao Yulong actually took out a silver ingot from his sleeve pocket...
Xiao Er's eyes almost popped out of his head...
Zhao Yulong's heart was bleeding.
He has always been the one taking advantage of others. When has anyone ever taken advantage of him? Later, he will make these two people peel off another layer of skin! As soon as he entered the room, Zhao Yulong brought out a set of excuses he had already thought of: "Look, we have already negotiated 50,000 taels just now. Later, you came forward and he agreed to pay 100,000 taels. If you want to divide it, you can only divide the extra 50,000 taels. Don't you think so?"
Su Bei didn't say anything, just looked at him calmly.
Chu Younan said nothing more, waiting to see what tricks he had up his sleeve. Anyway, since his little Beibei wanted to share the gold, he tried his best to cooperate.
The result was a bit unexpected, Zhao Yulong was a bit embarrassed, "Indeed, if you don't show up, he will bite the bullet and refuse to give up 50,000 taels, but you have to think about me, right? It will cost me 50,000 taels to train this Gu worm and eat and drink. I can't not make a penny, right?"
Su Bei and Chu Younan still didn't say anything, just to see where his bottom line was. Zhao Yulong made a thousand taels from them today, so he couldn't let him make it for nothing, right? Zhao Yulong gritted his teeth, "46, 46 is it? You get six of the fifty thousand taels, and I get four!"
Su Bei remained silent.
"Sanqi is okay, right? You can't let me starve to death..." Zhao Yulong almost wailed.
But Su Bei hadn't spoken yet.
Zhao Yulong wailed: "You can't be too greedy!"
Su Bei and Chu Younan looked at each other, as if he had reached his bottom line.
One should not be too greedy. Seventy percent of fifty thousand taels is thirty-five thousand taels. Compared with one thousand taels, it is really a huge profit.
Su Bei was about to nod when Bei Yuanzheng, who was sleeping in the inner room, suddenly started coughing up blood again.
Zhao Yulong hurriedly said, "That's right! Your friend has been poisoned by a Gu. If he doesn't get treated, he'll die. Let me show you. I'm sure I have an antidote!"
This guy's poisonous insect is a half-baked one. The previous antidote did work, so I have to give it a try regardless of whether it works or not.
Bei Yuanzheng's life is more important than that bit of gold.
Su Bei nodded.
Zhao Yulong followed them into the inner room, pretended to take the patient's pulse, and then gave himself a shock.
This poison seems familiar!
After taking a closer look at Bei Yuanzheng's facial features, Zhao Yulong instantly became embarrassed. He had never thought that he could create a useful Gu worm. Most importantly, he had never thought that someone could actually stuff a Gu worm into someone's ears and eyes...
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "This Gu can be cured! But the poison is very serious. If it is not treated within three days, it will kill him. So it is very difficult to deal with!"
He looked at Su Bei and Chu Younan sincerely, "In theory, the antidote is twice as expensive as the poison. Apart from the 35,000 taels just now, you should give me another 165,000 taels. But this is our third time dealing with each other, so I have to give you a discount, just 160,000 taels!"
When he said this, Zhao Yulong was very happy. If anyone said that this or that person had a lucky face, then he was actually the one with the most lucky face. Look, 160,000 taels, he would get it right away!
