The large families, who weren't short of Xuan Stones, remained relatively calm, but those who were just there to join in the fun were completely dumbfounded.
If I don't pay, I've come all this way, and it would be really hard to just go back like this!
But if you pay it, it's one thing to just watch others grab something and feel envious and jealous, but to have to lose ten low-grade Xuan stones is even more heartbreaking!
"Hey, aren't you guys going in?"
Then, before they could make a decision, Ji Fanya walked over carrying a black pot, his little face stern, followed by the imposing Xiao Bo.
"In, in!"
After glancing at the legendary weapon of mass destruction, everyone swallowed hard and quickly took out their Xuan Stones to hand it over.
"You've come from afar, so please come in."
Upon seeing this, Ji Fanya immediately smiled warmly and invited everyone inside, saying, "Thank you all for your hard work."
Everyone: "..."
They were just calling out "Hey" to them a moment ago, but after paying ten low-grade Xuan Stones, they've become honored guests!
Sure enough, as long as you have money, everyone in the world is your brother!
"Honored guest, please have some tea."
As everyone entered the main hall, which had been temporarily used as an auction room, with mixed feelings, beautiful palace maids immediately brought tea with smiles.
Thank you.
Seeing this treatment, everyone felt better. They politely took a sip and thought that spending ten low-grade Xuan Stones was worthwhile.
After all, these palace maids served the king, and today they had a taste of what it was like to be a king.
Would you like some snacks?
After everyone had drunk their tea, the beautiful palace maid then politely inquired further.
"Any snacks?"
Thinking that this was, after all, the imperial palace of Dongyan, and the food was imperial cuisine, they were sure it would taste good, and everyone felt more at ease. Without saying a word, they nodded and ordered a serving.
"Please enjoy your snack."
Upon hearing that the guests wanted to eat, the palace maid's eyes immediately lit up, and she quickly ordered someone to prepare it.
Their attentive attitude and thoughtful service made everyone feel even more pleased.
The tea and snacks were served quickly. As expected of imperial cuisine, each of the pastries was exquisitely made, making one's mouth water.
"Mmm, it's delicious."
The guests didn't stand on ceremony and all took a bite to try, praising it endlessly with each bite.
"Are the guests satisfied?"
Once it was confirmed that the guests had taken a bite of the pastry, the palace maid smiled and asked.
"Hmm, not bad."
The guests nodded as they savored the taste of the pastries.
"I'm glad you're satisfied."
Upon hearing this, the palace maid smiled and said softly, then slowly extended her slender, fair hand, "Then, please pay."
The lord had said that they would receive a share of the profits from the tea and snacks sold, and the palace maids were overjoyed at the thought of soon earning a large sum of money.
"...?"
Upon hearing this, the guest was instantly dumbfounded, his eyes filled with confusion.
Pay?
What money do I need to pay?
Then, the next second, they were stunned to see the half-eaten snacks and the cup of tea in their hands.
Could it be that these... are actually chargeable separately?
"Pfft..."
"Cough cough cough..."
Upon realizing a certain possibility, everyone present was immediately choked, and those who were drinking tea even spat it out.
Her eyes widened in disbelief as she looked up at the palace maid and asked in a trembling voice, "You...you mean this tea and pastries?"
