Chapter 248
In fact, to be honest, these things are not cheap at present, but they are not sky-high gifts.

Although talking about six hundred chickens is a bit exaggerated, if you really want to prepare something, Boss Zhu can definitely talk about it. Six hundred chickens is really nonsense.

Generally speaking, except for the [-] chickens, everything else is at the market price, which is the same for local girls. Sixty catties of gift cakes, sixty catties of mushrooms and lotus seeds can be obtained for about twenty oceans. It’s really not special. Extremely expensive.

It is very possible to discuss this later and spend less money to buy chickens. From this point of view, the overall asking price is quite reasonable.

Judging from the fact that Qiu Sheng came to buy rice before, 50 kilograms of glutinous rice cost five yuan, so after buying everything, the bride price was only sixty or seventy yuan.

This price cannot be said to be particularly cheap, but it is also not particularly expensive. It can only be said that Boss Zhu is very greedy for money, and after all, he met a poor boy like Fei Bao.

Fei Bao, who received something like an ultimatum here, was stunned on the spot. He subconsciously glanced at Uncle Jiu on the other side.

Uncle Jiu naturally saw the situation here, but he couldn't say anything. This matter was indeed very difficult.

Although he and Fei Bao Xiaohai have a master-disciple relationship in name, in fact they really can't reach that level.

At least the two of them are not old-age apprentices.

So in theory, Uncle Jiu really has no obligation or responsibility to marry them.

The two of them usually work outside, and the money they earn will not be given to Uncle Jiu. Only when Uncle Jiu takes them out will they keep a big head.

So he turned his face away and said to Xiao Hai: "Let's go back with me!"

"Huh? No more tea?"

Xiao Hai was still thinking about food. Hearing that Uncle Jiu was leaving, he subconsciously asked.

"Drink your head, drink~"

Uncle Jiu glared at him, and then I drove Xiao Hai and the two of them outside.

Fei Bao here is actually quite depressed. When he looked at Uncle Jiu just now, he actually hoped that Uncle Jiu would step forward and help him out.

There is nothing wrong with this matter. After all, people have a dependent mentality. Although he cannot be said to have grown up with Uncle Jiu since he was a child, he still has a very good relationship with him after so many years.

From the bottom of his heart, he still regarded Uncle Jiu as his elder, so at this time, he naturally hoped that Uncle Jiu could stand up and help him out.

But the world is almost always unsatisfactory. Although Uncle Ninth regards him as his junior, the relationship between the two of them is indeed not like that of master and disciple like the literary genius Qiu Sheng.

It's okay to give him a little help, but it wouldn't be appropriate to let Uncle Jiu handle it all for him.

The moment he saw Uncle Jiu leaving, Fei Bao was actually a little disappointed, but he was still rational. Although he was disappointed, he didn't do anything drastic.

Rationally speaking, it is not that he does not have a clear understanding of his true relationship with Uncle Jiu, but at this moment, he has more or less extravagant hopes.

Seeing Uncle Jiu leaving, Fei Bao was stunned on the spot, then looked at Boss Zhu and went back himself.

Fei Bao was about to leave, but Boss Zhu couldn't care about him at all. Now he only wanted to serve Mr. Shi well. He hurriedly greeted Mr. Shi, asked him if he was okay, and then asked someone to clean up the tables, chairs and benches.

At this moment, the old man upstairs saw what was going on downstairs, packed his backpack and followed him down.

Seeing the people coming down, Mr. Shi quickly came forward and asked, "Master, how could you mess up?"

"Don't mention it, let that kid disturb it, let's go."

After saying that, the old man didn't stop and walked out.

When Mr. Shi heard this, he turned to look at Fei Bao's leaving figure, then squeezed his hands fiercely and said, "I will definitely avenge this, we'll see!"

On the other side, after Uncle Jiu and others returned, Xiao Hai and Fei Bao were sighing at each other along the way.

"Alas!" "Alas!"

The two of them still have the same fundamental interests. If Uncle Jiu didn't help Fei Bao today, he would naturally not help Xiao Hai in the future.

So the two of them were still feeling a little uncomfortable, but there was really no way to say that. Uncle Jiu helped them out of love, and it was his duty not to help them. They couldn't expect others to help them with all their strength.

That's why they sighed all the way. In fact, it was because they were young and took advantage of Uncle Ninth who treated them as their juniors.

It would be very rude to do otherwise.

"Ugh!"

Listening to their deliberate loud lamentation, Uncle Jiu turned to look at the two of them, and then went straight into the house.

"Ah~"

Fei Bao sighed again, but this time it was sincere, without the element of deception.

Xiaohai looked at him and then asked: "Are you worried about not having enough money?"

"Ugh!"

Fei Bao was really discouraged. In this world, a penny can't help a hero. The trouble of having no money is really hurtful.

"What's the use of complaining to me? It's useful to complain in front of the master!"

After saying that, he directly took Fei Bao's hand and dragged him into the house: "Come on, come on, come on~"

Fei Bao was so frustrated at the moment that he had no intention of playing with him, but he kept forcing himself on him, so it was hard to give him a hard time.

So Fei Bao followed him in a little reluctantly.

As soon as the two of them walked into the house, they saw Jiu Shu playing with something on the bookcase. After so many years, they naturally knew that this was where Uncle Jiu usually kept his money.

So they both walked out again.

After standing outside the door for a short while and hearing Uncle Jiu's footsteps, the two of them lamented for the rest of their lives!
"Ah~ah~"

At this time, Uncle Jiu also came out and received the same shout. Then he took out the ten silver dollars in his hand and said, "The whole thing is just these ten pieces of silver. Take it!"

After saying that, he put the money in Fei Bao's hand, turned back and entered the house.

Fei Bao still felt very uncomfortable. Although Uncle Jiu gave him the money, he was somewhat happy, but the reality was still here. Ten oceans was simply not enough.

Seeing Uncle Jiu enter the house, Fei Bao looked embarrassed and whispered to Xiao Hai next to him: "Ten oceans are not enough!"

"Hey, that's not what I said. It's not enough anyway. Let's take a gamble and ten will turn into twenty, twenty will turn into forty, eighty, one hundred and six, three hundred and two..."

The more Xiaohai talked, the more excited he became, as if so much money was placed in front of him. He immediately opened his mouth in joy.

Then Uncle Jiu came out again and poured a basin of cold water on him.

"What if you lose?"

Of course, Xiao Hai knew that he was talking nonsense. His statement was actually just casual and a joke.

Now being interrupted by Uncle Jiu, the joke could no longer continue. He also felt the difficulty, so he also lamented.
