Chapter 72 [The latest chapter of Jin Ping]

The three of them went to Yishiju.

Yishiju is the most expensive restaurant in Kyoto in the entire Qing Dynasty.

Even a huge businessman with wealthy families will not come here to spend every day. The so-called "living in vain" is not groundless, but there is some truth.

After all, there are already many inexplicable descendants in Kyoto. After their ancestors passed away, they still come here to squander every day, and they ruined all their family business within a few years.

Even if it is the ancestral home, it will have to be mortgaged out in the end.

It can be seen that the consumption here is high.

It's a luxury that you've come here once or twice in more than a month.

If you occasionally treat a guest, if you set the address at Yishiju, it will definitely give the other party a great face and show off your grand occasion.

It is said that eating a meal here costs at least fifty taels of silver, which is a figure that ordinary farmers dare not even think about.

Maybe in a dream, I probably wouldn't have such dreams.

In ancient times, one tael of silver was equivalent to RMB 200, equivalent to 1,000 cents, and equivalent to a permanent (hanging) money.

A hanging of money is 1,000 copper coins.

Most of the coins circulated in ancient times were round square hole coins, and the share of copper coins issued in many dynasties was not large.

However, when people go out to buy things in their daily lives, sometimes the amount they need is not small.

So, to prevent loss, people tied copper coins on a rope.

A hanging of money is equal to 1,000 copper coins strung together, collectively called Yiguan, or a hanging.

Fifty taels of silver, how much copper coins would it be...

Ordinary people naturally dare not expect too much.

However, fifty taels are already the minimum consumption standard for Yishiju.

Here, fifty taels are just enough for a bowl of fried rice.

Who treats to someone and eats fried rice?

If you order a few dishes and a few soups, your heart will be bleeding when paying the bills, and you will not be able to help but mutter that you will never come to this broken restaurant again next time.

When he came to Yishiju, he looked at the restaurant with a luxurious decoration in front of him, Fan Sizhe suddenly felt a little confused.

He has only heard of this place and has never been to the future.

After all, it is too expensive, even if he has the money, he naturally wouldn't be willing to let it go.

Last night, he didn't get much money from his stingy mother. He wanted to invite Fan Zui to eat Fan, maybe there would be some leftovers.

Now it seems that it's thankful not to exceed the budget.

"Sister, do you have to come to this store? Or we'd better change the place? It's just a meal..."

Fan Sizhe looked at Ruoru with a bitter face.

He had booked a restaurant before, but it was not Yishiju.

When Ruoru learned that he was going to treat him, he chose this place, obviously trying to kill him.

Others don’t know, but Ruoruo is very clear. Fan Sizhe has saved a lot of private money over the years.

As for the specific amount, even Liu Ruyu may not know.

"Aren't you going to treat you? Here is the most sincere place, it's here." Ruoru smiled.

Seeing this, Fan Sizhe did not dare to refute it, so he could only prepare for heavy bleeding.

It's okay, I'll go back to my mother to reimburse her.

Maybe you can even falsely report it and earn a kickback yourself.

"Let's go, go in." Fan Zui smiled and walked in first.

As she raised her feet, a woman holding a baby in her arms walked over and asked in a low voice when she passed by:

"Young Master, do you want a book?"

Fan Zui glanced at her and thought to himself, if it was changed to a sentence like "Do you want a girl?" or "Do you want a butterfly?", it would be called the situation.

Yama fell!

Fan Zui hadn't spoken yet, and didn't know how much money it would cost for a while. Fan Sizhe, who was depressed, had already spoken impatiently:

"No, sell it elsewhere."

"Young Master, are you just released new chapters of "The West Chamber" and "The Golden Bottle"? "

The baby in the woman's arms seemed to have been woken up and muttered. The woman shook her gently, and the child continued to fall asleep in a deep sleep.

So, he looked at the two young men in front of him who looked like the noble sons, and asked in a low voice:

"Do you want it?"

While speaking, I looked around and paid attention to the pedestrians around me, as if I were looking for the next target.

It also seems to be on guard against someone to discover it.

Ruoru was about to refuse, but saw Fan Sizhe who was still refusing just now, and now he had a faint smile on his face and said:

"There is a new chapter in "Jin Ping", why don't I know? Let me give you one! By the way, how many copper coins?"

The woman gently shook the sleeping baby in her arms while holding the book, and said, "Ten taels of silver."

"How many?"

Fan Sizhe's move when he was about to touch the money was instantly stiff, and his expression also freezes at that moment, full of disbelief, doubting life and questioning his own ears.

"Ten taels of silver, I tell you, this new chapter has only been around for two days, and the price is very expensive. Others sell twenty taels, but I only sell ten taels.

This is the last serving on my hand. I can go back to feed my child after I sell it. I will sell it to you at a price of ten taels. Do you want it?"

The woman looked around and said again.

Fan Sizhe opened her mouth, but she wanted to speak but stopped. Did she misunderstand the word "cheap"?

Is the world now changing, and the poor are the only ones who are themselves?

"Ten taels, why don't you rob it?"

"Don't forget it." The woman muttered, turned around and prepared to leave.

"I want ten taels, but I want one hundred copies, look..." Fan Zui suddenly spoke and handed over ten taels of silver.

The woman handed him the last book in her hand and said happily:

"You want too much. You need to talk to the boss yourself. I'll take you there. You can talk to yourself. I'll get some credit."

"Then it's a labor."

"Come with me."

Fan Zui glanced at the two of them and said, "You go to Yishiju to order food first, and I will come here."

As he said that, he threw the book "Golden Bottle" to Fan Sizhe.

Watching Fan Zui and the woman walking into the alley, Fan Sizhe sighed and shook his head, sighing:

"I didn't expect this book to make such a profitable business. It would be better if I had done this business."

Ruoru glanced at the book in his hand and said calmly: "You were going to buy it just now. Do you like this book?"

Fan Sizhe subconsciously said: "I used to borrow from others... Sister, how could I read such inappropriate books? I am a well-educated and serious person."

Ruoru looked at him for a while, walked towards Yishiju, and said, "I haven't read it before, how do you know that this book is not serious?"

Fan Sizhe was speechless for a moment, paused for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Sister, have you seen it too?"

Ruoruo's expression was as usual: "I only read "The Red Mansion" and I am not interested in "The Golden Bottle" and "The West Chamber".

Fan Sizhe nodded and responded: "Yes, the West Chamber has just finished the tenth chapter. It's too little, so I can't enjoy it."

Ruoruo raised his foot into Yishiju and said, "Chapter 10? That was already a year ago... I heard a few close friends say a year ago that Chapter 10 had been updated at that time."

"Sister, do you know who the author of "Jin Ping" [Yebalang of One Night] is? If you can, I will sell this book to me, and I will definitely make a big profit."

"have no idea."

"Then you ask me if you know your close friends."

"They don't know."

“???”

"I guess."
Chapter completed!
