Chapter 72 [The latest chapter of the gold bottle]

The three went to Yishiju.

One Stone House is the most expensive restaurant in the entire Qing Dynasty in Kyoto.

Even a wealthy businessman would not come here to spend every day. The so-called sitting and eating is not groundless, and there is some truth to it.

After all, there are many incapable descendants in the capital. After the death of their ancestors, they still come here every day to squander, and within a few years, all the family fortunes are wiped out.

Even the ancestral house had to be mortgaged in the end.

It can be seen that the consumption here is high.

At most one or two times a month, it can be regarded as extravagant.

Occasionally entertaining guests, if the address is set at Yishiju, it must have given the other party a great deal of face and put on a lot of ostentation.

It is said that a meal here costs at least 50 taels of silver, which is unimaginable for ordinary peasant families.

Probably in a dream, and probably would not have such a dream.

In ancient silver conversion, one tael of silver is equivalent to RMB 200, which is equivalent to 1000 Wen, which is equivalent to Yiguan (hanging) money.

A hanging coin is 1000 copper coins.

Most of the coins in circulation in ancient times were round and 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 life, sometimes the amount needed is not small.

Therefore, in order to prevent loss, people string copper coins on a rope.

A hanging coin is equal to 1000 copper coins strung together, collectively referred to as a consistent, or a hanging.

50 taels of silver, how many copper plates is that...

Ordinary people naturally dare not expect extravagantly.

However, 50 taels is already the minimum consumption standard for Yishiju.

Here, 50 taels is enough for a bowl of fried rice.

Who treats guests, invites people to eat fried rice?
Whenever I order a few dishes, a few soups, my heart will bleed when I pay the bill, and I can't help but mutter, I will never come to this dilapidated restaurant again next time.

When he came to Yishiju, Fan Sizhe suddenly murmured when he saw the luxuriously decorated restaurant in front of him.

For this place, he has only heard of it, and has never been here.

After all, it was too expensive, so even if he had the money, he would not be willing to part with it.

The money he got from his stingy mother last night was not much, and he thought that after Fan Zui had eaten Fan Zui, there might be some money left.

It now looks like thank goodness for not going over budget.

"Sister, do you have to come here, or should we change places? It's just a meal..."

Fan Sizhe looked at Ruoruo with a bitter expression on his face.

He had already booked a restaurant before, but it wasn't a stone house.

Knowing that he was going to treat guests, Ruo Ruo chose this place, obviously to kill him severely.

Others don't know, but Ruo Ruok knows very well that Fan Sizhe has saved a lot of private money over the years.

As for the specific amount, it is estimated that even Liu Ruyu may not know it.

"Isn't it a treat? This is the most sincere place, so here it is." Ruoruo smiled.

Seeing this, Fan Sizhe didn't dare to refute, so he could only mentally prepare for the hemorrhage.

It's okay, I'll go back to my mother at night to reimburse me.

Maybe you can make a false report and earn a kickback for yourself.

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

When I lifted my feet, a woman with a baby in her arms walked over with her head bowed. When she passed by, she lowered her head and asked in a low voice:

"My lord, do you want a book?"

Fan Zui glanced at her, and thought, if it was changed to "Do you want a sister", or "Do you want a butterfly", it would be appropriate.

Ya Ma fell!
Before Fan Zui could speak, he didn't know how much money it would cost, but Fan Sizhe, who was depressed, said impatiently:
"No, no, sell it elsewhere."

"My lord, it's the new chapters of "The Romance of the West Chamber" and "The Golden Vase", do you want it?"

The baby in the woman's arms seemed to be woken up and uttered a raving sound. The woman shook it lightly, and the child continued to sleep soundly.

So, he turned his eyes to the two teenagers who looked like noble sons in the clothes in front of him, and asked again in a low voice:
"Do you want it?"

While speaking, he looked around and paid attention to the pedestrians around him, as if he was looking for the next target.

It also seems to be in case someone finds out.

Ruoruo was about to refuse, but saw that Fan Sizhe, who was still refusing just now, had a faint smile on his face at this moment, and said:

"The "Golden Vase" has a new chapter, why didn't I know? Get a copy! By the way, how much copper?"

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

"How many?"

Fan Sizhe's movements when he was about to touch the money froze instantly, and the expression on his face also froze at that moment, full of disbelief, doubting life and his own ears.

"Ten taels of silver, let me tell you, this new chapter has only been out for two days, and the price is very expensive. Everyone else sells it for 20 taels, but I only sell it for ten taels.

This is the last one in my hand. I can go back to breastfeed my child after it is sold out. I will sell it to you at ten taels cheaper. Do you want it? "

The woman looked around and said again.

Fan Sizhe opened his mouth, hesitant to speak, did she misunderstand the word cheap?

Could it be that the world has changed now, and the poor only have him?
"Twelve, why don't you grab it!"

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

"I want ten taels, but I want one hundred copies, you see..." Fan Zui said suddenly, and then 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 big boss yourself about this. I'll take you there. You can talk about it yourself. I'll just get some share."

"That's work."

"Come with me."

Fan Zui glanced at the two of them and said, "You go ahead and order food at Yishiju and wait for me. I'll come as soon as I go."

With that said, he threw the "Golden Vase" to Fan Sizhe.

Seeing Fan Zui and the woman walking towards the alley, Fan Sizhe sighed and shook his head, sighing:
"I didn't expect this book to be so profitable. It would be great if this business could be done for me."

Ruoruo 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 unscrupulous books, I am a well-educated and decent person."

Ruoruo sized him up for a while, walked towards Yishiju, and said, "I haven't read it, how do you know this book is not serious?"

Fan Sizhe was speechless for a moment. After a pause, he suddenly asked, "Sister, have you seen it too?"

Ruoruo said as usual, "I only watch "Red Mansion", and I'm not interested in "The Golden Vase" and "The Romance of the West Chamber."

Fan Sizhe nodded, and said in response: "That's right, the West Chamber was only written to Chapter 10, there are too few, and I can't enjoy watching it."

Ruoruo stepped into Yishiju and said, "Chapter 10? That was already a year ago... I heard from a few close friends a year ago that Chapter 10 had already been updated."

"Sister, do you know who the author of the "Golden Vase" [One Night Shibalang] is? If possible, if you sell this book to me, you will definitely make a lot of money."

"do not know."

"Then you can ask those close friends of yours later, do they know?"

"They don't know."

"???"

"My guess."
