Treating marriage as a fantasy world version of power and money transactions, Zhong Chao instantly understood everything.
When he shook his head and sighed, Qi Weiye saw the two people coming, stood up and said with a smile: "You guys are here, sit down, if you wait for a long time, we will eat first."
"It's okay, it's true that we were late."
It was Shi Qiang who echoed the words, and Zhong Chao also expressed his understanding. After all, he went to the Sutra Pavilion and wasted some time.
Following Shi Qiang, the two sat down at the empty seats. At the beginning, the atmosphere of the banquet was quite good.
We drank and ate, and there were businessmen with long sleeves and good dancing around, so we kept laughing all the time.
At the same time, the girls who came with their father also made Qi Weiye, Shi Qiang and other rough guys calm down a little and became much more gentle, even when they were eating.
The only exception is when the clock expires.
While everyone else was trying their best to express themselves, he was eating and drinking endlessly.
Such a rude performance attracted the attention of many people, and also made some girls frown with contempt.
"Don't make friends with a reckless man."
Zhong Chao sensed this emotion, but he didn't care at all.
Standing on the wall, he is strong without desire. He has no intention of pursuing these girls.
This is not to say that Zhong Chao doesn't love beauty, the main reason is that with the pure Yang golden bell on his side, he can't dare to tempt anyone.
"Gudong, Gudong..."
Drinking soup and meat, Zhong Chao at the dinner table was like a starving ghost reincarnated, sweeping away everything on the table.
While eating, Zhong Chao was also surprised.
“This food is wrong!”
The energy provided by ordinary food, even meat, is somewhat scarce for warriors.
This also makes Zhong Chao, who is exercising, eat more than ten meals a day.
But today, after eating a few mouthfuls, Zhong Chao felt that his body was full, and there was a steady flow of heat from his belly to his whole body, and this heat kept flowing.
"It's so rich in energy. One meal of this kind can last you seven or eight hours."
Feeling this, Zhong Chao's expression really changed. He pulled Shi Qiang up and asked hurriedly: "How much does this food cost?"
It’s no wonder Zhong Chao is so anxious, it’s actually because food has a lot to do with it. One meal every seven or eight hours, and seven or eight meals every seven or eight hours. This saves Zhong Chao at least half of his time.
Moreover, after thinking about it for a while, Zhong Chao discovered that this high-calorie food also had a bonus on his cultivation.
Especially one of the dishes of Huoyun Chili Stew, after eating it, it was spicy first, then warm. With the warm feeling all over his body, his life breath became a little stronger, and correspondingly, his Yang Qi also increased.
"The efficiency has increased by 10%... combined with the saved eating time, eating these foods will at least double my cultivation speed."
After calculating these, Zhong Shanshan would be anxious and would think about eating these things in the future.
"Food prices? Here's the price list, take a look."
After taking it, Zhong Chao glanced at it, and his happy face instantly turned gloomy.
"Pearl white jade jade soup, price seventy-two and five yuan."
"Lotus seed and poultry egg custard, the price is sixty-two cents."
"Butter crab, the price is ninety-two or three yuan."
"Huoyun pepper stew, the price is five taels and seven dollars."
"Buddha Jumps Over the Wall (10 copies are on sale today), price is 30 taels."
The price of more than five taels made Zhong Chao's eyelids twitch wildly, but when he thought about the effects of these foods, Zhong Chao couldn't even say the word "cheating money."
At the same time, seeing these things, Zhong Chao also understood one thing: why the Xi family only opened a restaurant and only one restaurant, but Xi Ya's status was so high.
"This is not food at all, it is clearly medicinal food. It is said that the price of food above the fifth and sixth floors is hundreds of taels a portion, and it is not available all the time. It has to change with the weather. The legendary seventh floor, half
We can only hold a banquet once a month, and every time we hold a banquet, it will be auctioned... I thought that Xi's Restaurant did this for marketing, but now that I think about it, it's because I'm low-level, and the food is by no means ordinary, let alone something that can be eaten all the time."
Thinking of food with better effects, Zhong Chao felt a little hot in his heart, but the price made his newly warmed-up heart cool.
"Still poor."
Zhong Chao felt uncomfortable because he couldn't get better food. Others looked at him holding the price list, his face became gloomy, and their evaluation of him became even lower.
"She was so scared by the food money. Such a man must not be married."
"Uuuu, you don't want me to marry and endure hardship."
Because they looked down upon him, many girls secretly whispered to their fathers, begged and begged, and did not want to have contact with Zhong Chao.
To this, the businessmen also nodded in agreement.
They wanted to find a reliable person as their son-in-law, but Zhong Chao's behavior made them look down upon him.
Zhong Chao ignored such mutterings, but Shi Qiang next to him was a little embarrassed, and even kindly pulled Zhong Chao to stop him from being too unrestrained.
"Junior Brother Zhong, be more elegant. No girl will like you if you do this."
After saying that, he found Zhong Chao indifferent and thought he looked down on ordinary merchant women, so Shi Qiang unleashed his ultimate move.
"Junior Brother Zhong, I know that you are the disciple of the master and look down on ordinary merchants, but we have a real rich girl here... you saw the girl in yellow clothes, she is the hostess of Li Shang Rouge Shop, this
The rouge shop is open in the inner city."
Just like martial arts disciples, shops are also different from shop to shop.
The lowest shops are stall vendors. Such people need to curry favor with Zhong Chao and them. Yesterday, Zhong Chao bought something and they didn't even dare to accept the money. If he wanted to marry such a woman, those people would beat gongs and drums to send it to her.
The second-class shops are the wealthy households in the private rooms. They have shops in the outer city and have clerks. They are the middle class of Jujiang City. Zhong Chao and others cannot bully them at will. Of course, they are not willing to offend Zhong Chao and others.
A warrior with someone behind him.
Because we are well matched, we have tonight's social gathering.
The third category is merchants in the inner city. There are no vendors in the inner city. If you want to open a store, you must have your own shop.
As for those who own houses or shops in the inner city, these people are truly wealthy. Therefore, it is the turn of Zhong Chao and other martial arts students to please them.
There is even a saying in martial arts schools that marrying a rich girl from the inner city will save you thirty years of hard work.
After thinking about this, Zhong Chao was a little surprised: "Marrying high and marrying low, why would a rich girl from the inner city come to our place? Are there also rich people among our fellow apprentices?"
"I don't know about this, but, Junior Brother Zhong, this is an opportunity. If we marry her, we will make a fortune. Moreover, she is also very beautiful."
The woman in yellow is indeed the most beautiful one in the room, but it is nonsense to Zhong Chao:
"Not interested...wait, Rouge Shop."
"Miss, I wonder if there is silver fish ointment in your store?"
"..."
Zhong Chao, who was constantly eating and drinking, suddenly spoke to her. The girl was stunned, and she didn't understand why Zhong Chao wanted the skin-whitening silver fish ointment.
But she was very educated and quickly replied: "Yes, sir, do you have someone you like? I can give you a bottle."
"One bottle is not enough. How much does a bottle of your ointment cost? I need to keep buying it."
Zhong Chao who said this was preparing to practice Yulongyou, but he didn't realize that as soon as he said these words, Shi Qiang's eyes changed when he looked at him.
"You actually thought of this conversational technique, awesome."
"Moreover, he said he was not interested, but in action he immediately started talking to me. This kind of shamelessness... I am convinced!"
