Chapter 79 (1/2)
Sean's thoughts were interrupted by the cacophony of arguments in the dining hall.
”Sir, there are thirty-seven coppers in all. Who of you will make a settlement?”
”I came out in a hurry today. I didn't bring any money with me. I just wrote down the name of Porter Lang, and I'll give it back to you another day.”
”I'm sorry, Mr. porter. We're a small business. We don't have credit.”
”Little eller, I haven't seen you for a few days. I've been able to do it. Mr. Porter said that if you keep accounts, you can't afford to pay dozens of coppers? We don't go out to inquire. When our brothers have the habit of paying for meals and drinks, it depends on our mood. Eating here today is to take care of your business. Don't push your luck. ”
”I'm also working for people here. If I can't, we're all neighbors on the street. No one should be hard on anyone. In this way, I'll make the decision for our boss. Today we only need to pay 30 coppers for this meal.”
”Yell, the upper lip hits the lower lip, and seven cops will go. It seems that your business is very profitable. We can earn seven coppers from a meal. Let's all see how much money these black hearted merchants have taken from us.”
”We can't say that. We all know that the price of grain is one price a day. If we buy grain with ten copper coins, the price will not go up with the trend. No matter how high the price is, we will calculate it according to ten copper coins until the next batch of new grain, even to the God of truth, We can also pat our chest and say that we are right about our conscience
”This is true. I can testify that the price of the food we eat here, especially in the past few days, is cheaper than the soaring grain outside. Otherwise, my mother-in-law is shrewd. How could she be willing to spend an extra copper for me to eat outside? I'm just a rude man who can't settle accounts. I don't know how to save a few copper coins, but I'm eating here instead Eat at home and be comfortable. ”
”To tell you the truth, your family and my family have a good character. They are half boys and half girls. When they see the food, their eyes glow green. They look like a group of little wolf lambs. They lick the bottom of the pot for you. It's no wonder that you can eat well until you find this good place. Finally, you can have a full meal and work hard, Since I started eating here, I saved ten coppers in two weeks. I don't have to give them to the tigress at home. This is the life of his mother. ”
”And such things? Why don't I know? ”
”You old bachelor, you can see the devil. A little money is either pissed into the belly of a cat or thrown on a woman's belly. There is a copper that can be kept for the next day? Even if you are allowed to eat and drink for free every day, you are also a virtue. ”
”If I die on the street one morning, I'd better get rid of old bastards like old John and even pick up the money of the dead.”
”Don't look down upon old John. He didn't steal, didn't rob, and didn't give money to eat. He ate by his own strength. If he had money, he would buy a mat and dig a hole to bury it. He would save his body from being spoiled by wild dogs. He didn't see many homeless people. Even if he starved to death, he would leave three or two on himself A copper. It's called burial money. ”
”People are dead, regardless of where they are buried. But I heard that the orcs of Odin on the other side of the mountain don't do this at all. After they die, they are left in the open air, waiting for wolves and eagles to peck. They say that this is a way to return to the grassland. I think this is worth advocating and saves a lot of things.”
”You're talking about the barbarians' barbarians. Why don't you say that the barbarians don't have any family values at all and that women's tents can be easily drilled? Other people's sons will be raised as their own! ”
”This is also worth advocating. If it is really allowed, I will be the first to drill into your home?”
”You want to die, don't you? If you talk nonsense, I'll tear your mouth.”
”It's just a joke. I didn't say anything? So angry? ”
The conflict between the young lobby manager and the local ruffians who eat the overlord's meal did not arise, but those who spoke up in a forthright way fought fiercely.
Eller arched his hand in a circle and said, ”thank you for your fair words. I'll treat you to mutton soup later.”
”Mutton soup? What kind of food is this? Never heard of it! Isn't the smell that comes out from behind you is what you call mutton soup? It's really unique! Just smell, it's a bit of a rush. ”
”I've only heard of roast lamb chops, but I haven't heard of mutton soup. Eller, are you too mean? If you want to, you should also invite us to have lamb chops. ”
