Chapter 171 (1/2)

The waiter looked at Yin Guangbo's green and yellow complexion and couldn't help smashing his mouth.

Just now, with a flattering smile on your face, he put it away in an instant. With a cold face, he disdained and said, ”I thought you were well dressed, but you turned out to be a man without money. How dare you eat in the inn like this?”

Yin Guangbo's face was even more embarrassed.

Before leaving, Bingwen gave him five hundred taels of silver for a rainy day.

But where would he accept it? When he went out, he put it on the bookcase.

Now, there are less than twenty liang of silver in my pocket.

He didn't know that such a few restaurants would open their mouths.

Although Xiao Zimu didn't have the concept of money, he looked embarrassed and winked at Xin Ya.

Xinya understood, took out the silver ingot from his arms, threw it on the table and said, ”here's the money, let me talk about it.”

The waiter took the money and immediately opened a flower on his face. He made a polite apology to Xin Ya: ”yes, what I taught you is that I was really anxious just now.”

Yin Guangbo didn't dare to stop Xin Ya this time. He was really shy in his pocket.

But he was unwilling and scolded the waiter: ”you're called a black shop. Aren't you afraid of being sealed up by the government?”

”Seizure?” The waiter hissed, but laughed. Looking at his eyes, it seemed as if Yin Guangbo had told a big joke. After breathing well, he continued: ”I'm afraid it's your first time to come to our ancient Anhui?”

”So what? You can deceive the guests the first time you come?” Yin Guangbo argued.

”That's not what you mean. If you wander around the city, you'll know if we're cheating.” The waiter wanted to hum coldly. After seeing Xin Ya's dark face, he still piled up a smile.

”What does that mean?” Xiao Zimu frowned and asked.

”You'll know if you go for a walk by yourself. Don't look at these four dishes and one soup. If you want to eat again in a few days, it's estimated that it will cost a hundred Liang.” The waiter arched his hand and retreated on his own.

Yin Guangbo was struck by thunder again.

”Young master, I have to go to work quickly and then seal up this black shop.” Yin Guangbo recovered, leaned forward towards Xiao Zimu, lowered his voice and said.

”Fifty Liang is very expensive?” Xiao Zimu asked when he looked at him in such a panic.

”That's not true. Now the tenant farmers in the rich areas of the south of the Yangtze River only produce ten stones of grain a year, and they all sell only fifteen liang of silver. Do you think it's expensive now, young master?” Yin Guangbo remembered that the master didn't spend money himself.

This is a metaphor to let him know how much fifty Liang silver is worth.

”Look at the tone of the waiter. I'm used to it. I'm afraid it's not the only inn.” After hearing this, Xiao Zimu's face changed and his eyebrows became cold.

Yin Guangbo understood what Xiao Zimu meant. He wanted to seal up the store.

As everyone knows, maybe every inn in the whole city is like this.

Then it is impossible for the government not to know

If the government knows, it is deliberately connivance and collusion between officials and businessmen.

”Let's go out of town first.” Xiao Zimu saw a suddenly enlightened look on Yin Guangbo's face. Knowing that he understood the meaning of his words, he got up and walked outside the store.

Yin Guangbo quickly followed, and Xin Ya followed.

As they walked along the market, they found that the whole city was extremely depressed, the streets were deserted and there were few people.

They came to ancient Anhui from the capital, and many cities of different sizes had been occupied along the way.
