There are only two rooms left in the upper floor of the shop, and only 5 other rooms left.
After hearing this, the second brother thought for a moment and thought that Sister Yanran and I were tired from the journey.
We should be allowed to live more comfortably, and it's okay for them to just make do with it.
So the second brother said to the shopkeeper, "Okay, then two upper rooms and three ordinary rooms will do."
Just as the innkeeper was about to take the key, the entrance of the inn suddenly became lively.
It turned out that another group of people had arrived. They all looked hurried, and there was a different kind of aura in their eyes.
When I reached the front of the store, I saw an old man step into the store steadily and said loudly, "Give me five upper rooms."
Seeing this, the shopkeeper hurried forward and replied with a smile: "Sir, I'm sorry, our shop only has two upper rooms."
And it has just been booked by this guest, and now there are only three ordinary rooms left.
Before he finished speaking, the old man took a step forward and stared at the shopkeeper.
He said without question, "Boss, we are willing to pay double the price if you give us these two upper rooms."
The shopkeeper looked embarrassed and hesitated for a moment.
Seeing this, the old man raised his eyebrows and spoke again: "Boss, what if the price is tripled?"
The shopkeeper's eyes shifted between us and the old man, and he looked quite embarrassed.
At this time, the second brother stood up, looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, business should be based on first come first served. We were the first to come."
The old man refused to give in. He turned his gaze to the second brother and said with a bit of arrogance, "Humph, since ancient times, the highest bidder wins. There is no such thing as first come first served!"
After hearing the old man's words, the second brother's face darkened slightly. He looked at the shopkeeper and said in an increasingly cold voice:
"Shopkeeper, if you break the rules today for this little profit, and word gets out, who would dare to stay in your shop?
Although we are not high-ranking officials, I am afraid that this will not end well.
The old man sneered, "Don't be so alarmist. I think you just can't afford a higher price and are deliberately using this to pressure me."
My second brother was so angry that he clenched his fists and was about to explode, so I quickly stepped forward and held him back.
He whispered, "Second brother, don't be impulsive. Let's see what the shopkeeper decides."
The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to the old man with an apologetic smile, "Sir, your price is indeed tempting, but this breaks the rules, and our shop cannot afford to do so."
When the old man heard this, his face instantly turned gloomy and he took out some spirit stones from his arms.
He slapped the counter with a loud bang and said, "Boss, I'll add these spirit stones. Think carefully. If you miss this opportunity, you'll lose this shop."
The atmosphere in the store suddenly became tense, and other customers also cast curious glances.
The shopkeeper's eyes revealed a struggle, and his hand unconsciously reached out for the spirit stone, but then suddenly retracted it.
