"Actually Shuhei also wanted to come, but because of this accident, the old man put him in solitary confinement and was not allowed to go out. If he can't get out on his own, Zhixian is not allowed to come." Zhuge Xiaosheng said with a smile.
"He should be locked up. Who made him so crazy... Huh? Why are they here!" Ling'er caught a glimpse of two acquaintances and frowned immediately.
"I don't know very well..." Zhuge Xiaosheng was not familiar with those two people either.
"Mochou, Qiuyue, you are here...where are the two of them?" Xiao Chen was quite happy to see Mochou and Qiuyue. As expected, the little devil kept his promise and released them all.
"They are busy in the store. Let the two of us come to greet you on behalf of you. We have opened a restaurant. Brother Bai Qing said that he would host a banquet for you at our place later." Qiuyue said, "Originally, it was Those who want to open a brothel, but Mo Chou won’t allow it.”
"Thank you, Brother Xiao." Mochou said softly.
"It would be great if you all came back. We are good friends. Saying thank you is too polite." Xiao Chen said, "Your master..."
"She's also very good." Mo Chou hesitated.
"Oh, that's good." Xiao Chen stopped asking.
"Hey, what are you doing here again?" Ling'er rushed over and asked Qiuyue.
"Huh? That's weird. Shunfeng City doesn't belong to your family. Why can't I come?" Qiuyue said.
"Because I don't like you!" Ling'er has never been easy to deal with.
"As if someone likes you!" Qiuyue pouted.
"Do you want to fight?" Linger asked.
"You are no match for me in a fight!" Qiuyue said, "But if you are not convinced, we can have a drinking contest and force you to drink under the table!"
"Let's compete, I'm not afraid of you even if I drink!" Of course Ling'er refused to accept it, it was impossible to accept it.
The reception banquet was also quite grand. This was because Shaoyan Mingguang and Shen Zhaoyingzi were there. If it was just Xiao Chen and the others, they would have been able to handle it with just a hot pot meal.
The banquet was held in a restaurant owned by Mochou and four girls. It was at the former site of Yihongyuan. Of course, it was no longer called Yihongyuan. It was now called 'Xiaoxiang House'.
Xiaoxiang of Xiaoxiang jade.
It should not be said that the dishes at Xiaoxianglou are really exquisite and delicious. Ling'er, who is extremely picky about food, was very satisfied with the food. He sighed repeatedly and forgot about the wine competition with Qiuyue.
Shen Teru Sakurako was even more amazed. She felt that Chinese food culture is really a profound work. These foods are full of color, fragrance and flavor. Just looking at it is a great enjoyment, and smelling it is like a gluttonous feast. She even can't bear to eat it. Chopsticks, for fear of ruining the exquisite shape of the dishes...
"This is a red glaze lamp made by Jian Kiln." Shaoyan Mingguang held a tea bowl and looked at it, admiring, "Back then, the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty once gave our Emperor Shenzhao seven of them, but he was reluctant to use them and just put them on the shelf. I went to see it, I didn’t expect this to be used in any restaurant in Yanyun County, it’s really luxurious.”
"Not only are they red-glazed cups, but these wine glasses are made of blue and white porcelain made from seawater clouds and dragons. If I accidentally break one, I'm afraid my month's salary won't be enough to pay for it." Xu Haiming sneered while holding a wine glass.
"Mr. Shaoyan, brother Haiming, don't just admire the cups and eat the vegetables." Ye Baiqing was still polite to the two of them.
"Okay, okay." Shaoyan Mingguang just smiled.
"I can't eat it, I'm afraid it will hurt my appetite." Xu Haiming said coldly, "I knew that Yan Yun was rich, but I didn't expect that he was already so rich. Just two tables for a banquet, I'm afraid it would cost hundreds of taels of silver to buy it. ? Your brother Bai Qing is the prefect of Shunfeng. He welcomes and delivers you every day. Is this how you eat?"
"Hahaha!" Ye Baiqing was stunned, and then laughed, "Brother Haiming misunderstood, our usual food is not so luxurious, at most it is only four dishes and one soup, either buy it in my house, or Just find a cheaper restaurant, like this Xiaoxianglou, it’s been open for more than a month, and it’s my first time here.”
"It's Bai Qing's first time, and it's my first time too. It's not that I don't want to come. It's just that the food here is too expensive and we can't afford it." Qian Yunfei said with a smile, "But fortunately, Mochou is here. The big shopkeeper offered to entertain us for free, so we just had a meal like this, and we don’t even dare to think about the next time."
"Brother Bai Qing, Brother Yunfei, you are too polite. You come here to have a drink, can I still take your money?" Mochou said with a smile.
"If you don't accept it, we won't be so thick-skinned to eat for nothing." Qian Yunfei said with a smile, "Besides, it would be terrible if the food becomes slippery and something goes wrong."
Although Xiaoxiang Tower is no longer Yihongyuan, its business model has not changed much. It focuses on high consumption. Anyway, there are many rich people in Shunfeng Port, and there are always customers every day...
Mochou and the other girls are not only good at playing and singing, but also good at business. They are all-round talents.
Ye Baiqing, Qian Yunfei, and even Dugulou all depended on their salaries. Although their income was large, it was also quite limited. They did not deliberately cry about poverty in public, they really could not afford it.
Xu Haiming was right. The value of these two banquets was at least five hundred taels of silver, which was as much as the entire assets of a middle-class family in Yanyun County!
Perhaps it is precisely because they live in relative poverty that Yanyun County is so wealthy.
In the final analysis, this must be due to the old man's foresight. From the day he first entered Yanyun County, he has always advocated diligence and thrift and set an example.
Nowadays, officials in Yanyun County may make various mistakes, but they are rarely corrupt, because honesty is no longer a system, but a trend...
Officials are not ashamed of this, but they are not proud of it either. They are all used to it.
"That's it." Xu Haiming then showed a smile, "Then why are you still standing there? Give me the wine. This wine is really delicious. I just drank one glass and it made me greedy..."
During the dinner, Xiao Chen got up to go to the toilet, and Mochou followed him out quietly. The two looked at each other and were speechless for a long time.
"Brother Xiao, thank you so much for remembering us." Mochou is actually a very generous girl, but when facing Xiao Chen, she always looks very reserved, with a slight blush on her face, maybe It was caused by drinking two glasses of wine just now.
"Uh... Mochou, please don't say that. Actually, I..." Xiao Chen felt a little ashamed, because in fact, he didn't think much about Mochou and the others. After all, they were always busy...
If he hadn't met Mu Ziqiu in Burma and talked about Xiaoxiangyu, he wouldn't have even known that Mochou and the others were imprisoned by the Demon Cult, let alone rescuing them.
Now that Mochou thanked him so touchingly, he was not only ashamed, but also a little embarrassed.
"Master has expelled us all from the sect, and the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect has also been disbanded." Mochou sighed leisurely, "She told me everything. It turns out that she has always been a member of the Demon Cult... Since we If they are not her disciples, then they naturally have nothing to do with the Demon Cult, and they will not come to trouble us in the future."
"Well, that's fine." Xiao Chen nodded.
