“Brother is right. Let everyone speak the language of the Han Dynasty. That way, Zhen’er can go anywhere!”
Although Lü Zhen couldn't quite understand the meaning behind Liu Hong's words, she thought it was a great idea.
"Yes, it will all belong to the Han Dynasty then, Zhen'er can go wherever she wants!"
Looking at Lü Zhen's innocent and naive appearance, Liu Hong affectionately rubbed her little head.
As she spoke, Lü Zhen grabbed Zhao Yun's hand again, "Brother Yun, will you come with me then?"
Looking at Lü Zhen's joyful face and bright eyes, Zhao Yun nodded unconsciously.
"Alright, alright, let's eat first, or it'll all end up in Dian Wei's stomach!"
Looking at the two little ones, Liu Hong smiled and then invited them to start eating.
"Hey~, Brother Dian, eat slowly, leave the chicken leg for me~!"
Seeing that Dian Wei had already devoured most of the food on the table, Lü Zhen finally realized what was happening and hurriedly started to fight for it.
Suddenly, the dinner table became lively.
Soon, in the struggle between Dian Wei and Lü Zhen, a large table of food was completely devoured.
"Alright, let's go!"
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Liu Hong called for them to get up and walk towards the counter.
"Young master, you spent a total of three thousand five hundred coins this time. If it were silver coins, only three would have been needed!"
The shopkeeper, with a fawning expression, handed the bill to Liu Hong.
At this time, although the silver coins had been in circulation for more than a year, they were still relatively scarce, and various shops would often offer some discounts in order to buy them.
In the shopkeeper's opinion, this young nobleman Liu Hong must possess silver coins.
"Hmm, the price is reasonable!"
Looking at the bill, which was filled with a dense list of dishes, Liu Hong didn't say much.
There's no way around it, Dian Wei just can eat too much.
Immediately, Liu Hong reached for his waist, and was slightly taken aback when he found the belt empty.
I forgot to bring any money again when I went out today!
Then Liu Hong turned to Dian Wei and asked, "Did you bring any money?"
Upon hearing this, Dian Wei shook his head blankly, as he didn't have the habit of carrying money.
Seeing this, Liu Hong turned to look at Zhao Yun with an embarrassed expression.
"Young master, I brought some with me when I went out, but Zhen'er spent it all on buying this and that!"
Hearing this, Lü Zhen lowered her head in embarrassment.
The shopkeeper seemed to have noticed Liu Hong and his companions' predicament, and then laughed and said, "Since you forgot to bring your money today, young master, you can bring it next time!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Hong couldn't help but laugh and said, "Aren't you afraid, shopkeeper, that I'll never come back?"
"Young master, what are you saying? You are clearly a person of extraordinary birth, how could you care about such a small amount of money?"
His ability to read people and understand their expressions was extraordinary, which enabled him to become the manager and see that Liu Hong was no ordinary person.
"Haha~ Well said! With a manager like you, no wonder your business is so successful!"
Upon hearing the shopkeeper's words, Liu Hong couldn't help but laugh.
These people who are good at business are all shrewd and capable, and they are unlikely to engage in any of those ridiculous, snobbish scenarios of looking down on others.
Just as Liu Hong was about to take his leave, the old man from the opposite table walked over and said to the shopkeeper in broken Chinese:
"This...this young master's money, I'll pay..."
As he spoke, the old man took out a gold ingot from his pocket and pushed it in front of the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper glanced at the gold ingots, then turned to Liu Hong: "Young master, what do you think...?"
Liu Hong smiled and said, "Food is not eaten on credit. In that case, please accept it, shopkeeper!"
Liu Hong did not reject this gesture of goodwill, which might have been from the Romans.
Alright!
The shopkeeper smiled and agreed, picked up a small scale, weighed the gold ingot, then took out seven silver coins and returned the change to the old man.
"Your... Han money is very beautiful..."
After taking the silver coin and examining it, the old man couldn't help but praise it.
"That's right, this was designed by Mo Yanghou, one of the top masters of our Great Han Dynasty, it can't be bad!"
Seeing the old man's naive and unsophisticated appearance, the shopkeeper couldn't help but show a smug look on his face.
Upon seeing this, Liu Hong nodded slightly and then cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards the old man.
"Thank you for your generosity, sir. I will send someone to deliver the money to you later!"
"Young master...you're too kind. Let's just consider each other friends!"
The old man quickly returned the greeting, and judging from his words, he seemed very eager to befriend Liu Hong.
"Hey, one thing at a time. The money still needs to be repaid. I have other matters to attend to. See you another day!"
Liu Hong smiled and waved his hand, then turned and left with Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, and the others.
The more anxious the other party is, the more likely they are to have ulterior motives for coming.
It's better to stretch it out a bit...
"Uncle, isn't this young master far too arrogant?"
After Liu Hong left, the old man's niece also came forward with a frown.
In her opinion, Liu Hong was indeed extraordinary, but his aloof and unapproachable attitude made her somewhat resentful.
The old man smiled nonchalantly, “Julis, this young master is not arrogant, but rather calm and meticulous. He doesn’t understand us yet, so naturally he won’t easily befriend us.”
Euryth asked, "But he didn't even ask where we live, so how can he repay the money?"
"This shouldn't be too difficult for him. Let's go and ask around at their government office!"
The old man waved his hand, then led Euryth and the other companions away from the restaurant, heading towards the Ministry of Rites.
