NOVEL NEXT Chapter 188: A Busy Month! And Papaya Milk! _2
"...Qingzhu, don't be so obvious. Look at how terrifying Xun Xian's gaze is when she looks at me," Yuchi said miserably.
Meanwhile, Wei Zhe stood up and placed a bun into Yuchi's bowl.
He smiled and said:
"Third Brother."
"Last night, I already resolved everything completely."
"Later, you still need to go to the commerce association; many things require your fairness."
Last night was something Wei Zhe could never forget in his lifetime.
Wei Zhe felt that he didn't care about the compliments from the family patriarchs, but having them come to flatter him one after another...
That feeling was still very satisfying!
Especially considering that these prominent figures were influential in the Clothing Town yet spoke kindly to him, a junior...
That was delightful!
And all this was thanks to that young man, thanks to the opportunity given by his Third Brother.
Considering how he could disregard such opportunities to flaunt, I wonder what's going on in this youth's mind?
Come on, Third Brother, have a bun!
Have a big one.
Have more of them.
"Thank you, Big Brother."
Yuchi retracted his gaze from the two little girls, handed over his plate, and continued peeling the eggshells.
He casually asked, "Big Brother, how much did they eat in gold and silver last night?"
Sitting down, Wei Zhe laughed and replied, "Not much, twenty or so people. All together, a hundred taels of silver."
Upon hearing this, Yuchi's old face slightly relaxed.
A hundred taels of silver, approximately ten thousand in the previous world.
Arranging for people from over twenty large families, that's roughly four thousand per person.
Four thousand or so to scrape together a meal at the Lamp Flower Tower, that's pretty decent.
Though such expenses are still terrifying.
Originally, Yuchi thought ten taels would suffice.
Meaning around four hundred per person, without feeling too little.
Find a roadside teahouse for a meal using twelve bucks, and spend the remaining three-eighty-eight for a meal combo, that's fine.
Wei Zhe slapped his forehead, "I didn't think of that."
Xun Xian: "..."
Xun Xian, who was eating nearby, choked on half a bun and gave Yuchi a disdainful look for misleading Dalan.
At the same time, she generously said,
"Yuchi, don't worry, a hundred taels of silver, I ate about thirty percent, all went into my belly."
"As for the Zhangsun Family, their crabs and those mountain delicacies yesterday."
"I alone probably took down a hundred taels worth!"
Pretty confident.
Everyone: "..."
Looking quite proud, Miss Xun, you sure know how to eat; impressive, impressive.
Yuchi smiled wryly and said:
"Miss Xun."
"Luckily, Zhangsun Family cushioned your stomach."
"Otherwise, with your snacking away, who could keep up?"
Eating skills are commendable!
"Hehe, you said it."
"You told me to eat it all; it's Zhangsun Family's food."
"When people invite me once in a blue moon, I have to give them some face," Xun Xian said shyly.
Immediately shifting the blame onto Yuchi.
Yuchi took the blame single-handedly.
"Makes sense!"
"But you're practically keeping the entire Lamp Flower Tower in business single-handedly."
"The shopkeeper at Lamp Flower Tower must call you 'ancestor,' right?"
Yuchi joked.
Unexpectedly, Xun Xian's expression turned serious as she pulled a meal ticket out from her sleeve.
She brandished the meal ticket in the air under everyone's gaze, proudly saying:
"It's not a guess; he already calls me 'ancestor,' look, this is a meal ticket."
"With this meal ticket, I can eat at Lamp Flower Tower every day."
"Even if the meal quota is just a little, and it can't compare to our Wei Family, but it's a bit of their sincerity."
"Don't you think?"
Everyone gasped.
Whoa, she's really done it, eating and drinking her way into becoming a VIP? Incredible, Xun Xiaoxian.
"Hehe."
Xun Xian chuckled and continued her meal.
During the whole eating session, Wei Xubing, the old man of the Wei family, couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Even though the whole thing seemingly didn't have much to do with him, after hearing Wei Zhe's news last night...
The whole person was so excited he didn't sleep all night, almost called for a brothel takeaway.
And does the Wei Family need money now?
They really don't lack money, and he doesn't have luxurious spending habits; such wealth suffices for him.
But gold and silver are one matter, he cares about face, also known as reputation.
When spoken out, he is the father of the Commerce Association President, a matter of great pride.
This morning, when people in the mansion saw him, they all sincerely said he looked ten years younger.
Indeed.
With a radiant smile, like an energetic child, Wei Xubing had one thing in mind:
"My Third Brother is truly terrifying, resolving such matters with ease, impressive, impressive!"
Then he looked at Wei Qingzhu next to Yuchi, and Wei Yuan behind him.
Feeling more satisfied.
These two as daughters-in-law are quite good, indeed.
Otherwise, maybe today I too should order a three-eighty-eight meal combo, yes... it's totally doable!
...
In the morning, after receiving two big papayas from a Bai family lady, Yuchi smiled and sent her away.
