Traveling to ancient times with a sign-in system

Chapter 63 So expensive!

It's cold now, not many people are coming into the city, and the number of merchants coming and going is also decreasing. In recent days, the Fukelai Inn has rarely been deserted.

The ox cart stopped outside the gate of Fukelai. The father and his two sons looked ignorant and stared at the front of the inn.

There is also a plaque with three big characters "Fu Ke Lai" written on it. The characters are in gold on a black background and are written in such a flamboyant style that it is difficult to understand!
If she hadn't known that this was an inn, and asked Gu Tang to find the store based solely on the words, she would definitely not have been able to find it.

"Are you really going in?" Gu Lianshan asked his daughter quietly, with an expression of anticipation and heartache on his face!

"Now that we're here, we have to go in." Gu Tang jumped down from the car and walked straight towards the inn.

The boy at the door saw this scene and immediately greeted him with a smile, bowing and saying, "Guest, please come in..."

This attitude made Gu Tang feel very comfortable. He smiled and waved to the waiter to come closer.

Then he pointed to the oxcart behind him and said, "I have a lot of chickens and ducks on that cart. You can pull them to your barn along with the oxcart. Take good care of the chickens, ducks, and cattle. The chickens and ducks are for gifts."

As he spoke, he pulled out a string of twenty or so copper coins from his sleeve and handed them over: "Half is for you, and the other half is for people to take good care of the cattle, chickens and ducks."

The young man took the copper coins with both hands and smiled from ear to ear. He immediately assured Gu Tang: "Don't worry! I will take good care of your chickens, ducks and cattle!"

The father and son, who were still sitting in the car, stared blankly at Gu Tang's actions. Their eyes moved with the movement of the copper coins in the waiter's hand, and they wished they could snatch them back.

Seeing the waiter coming towards them, the father and son hurriedly jumped out of the car with the packages, avoided the waiter's bow, rushed to Gu Tang, and asked her in a low voice why she gave them copper coins for no reason?
Gu Tang didn't reply immediately. Instead, she waited until the boy left with the ox cart before she replied, "There are so many chickens and ducks on the cart. If we don't send a few, will they really take good care of them for us? If a few die, it will cost more than twenty copper coins!"

Gu Lianshan scratched his head and thought about it carefully, it seemed to be true.

Just like when someone in his village asked him to help with something, the way he would do it would be different if he was given money or not.

"Second sister will teach you one more thing today." Gu Tang tugged at Gu Ping'an's clothes and whispered to him very bluntly.

“In this world, from the emperor to the beggar on the street, no matter who it is, if you want them to obey you and work for you, you have to give them what they want.

For example, what did that young man want? People like him definitely want money! As long as you give him money, he will come to you and do your bidding without you having to tell him.

Putting aside other things, isn't this how people in our tiny village interact with each other?"

Gu Ping'an suddenly realized something and thought about the interpersonal relationships in the village. Indeed, this was the truth.

Gu Lianshan glanced at his daughter. What was going on? Was he planning to make Ping An evil too?

In their family, he himself is not a good person, his first wife was not a kind person, and now this wife is even worse!
The same goes for the boys and girls in the house. The eldest daughter is lonely and stupid, and the eldest son is not only lazy and greedy, but also likes to steal!

The second daughter seems to be fine on the surface, but in fact she is full of evil intentions, and her hands are cruel and her heart is even crueler.

Only the youngest son was kind and could be deceived. He was obedient and easy to use.

If even their youngest son becomes as bad as them, then their family will be really complete!
Gu Lianshan wanted to stop him, but then he thought, in the Gu family, kind people can't survive, so he has to be ruthless to protect himself.

Forget it, let his daughter handle it as she pleases.

Sighing, Gu Lianshan walked into the inn with his hands behind his back.

Seeing her father enter the inn, Gu Tang stopped talking and pulled Gu Ping'an to follow him.

The inn's facade was imposing, and the interior was even more impressive. For a modern man like Gu Tang, this was the first time he'd seen such authentic, antique-style decor. Gu Lianshan and his son were no different. They followed Gu Tang around, looking around, their eyes barely enough to see what was going on.

The waiters and the innkeeper did not look down on them. They had kind smiles on their faces and did not rush them, allowing them to look at them.

After a while, Gu Tang finished looking around the inn and smiled, holding up three fingers to the innkeeper: "Three guest rooms..."

"Two rooms!"

Hearing that his daughter had asked for three guest rooms, Gu Lianshan immediately came to his senses, rushed over to interrupt his daughter, and raised two fingers to the shopkeeper.

"Two! Just two!"

Gu Tang: ...Okay, two rooms is enough!
The shopkeeper nodded without getting impatient, took out three wooden signs and placed them in front of the father and daughter. He asked them, "We have three levels of guest rooms: upper, middle, and lower. Which one would you like?"

Three wooden signs listed the prices for upper, middle and lower class rooms respectively.

The best quality one is thirty-five cents a night.

Medium, twenty-five cents per night.

Low class, ten cents a night.

The father and daughter looked at each other, and each saw two words in the other's eyes: So expensive!

They said they wanted to stay in a nicer inn to see the world, but when they were asked to choose a room, both father and daughter thought it was too expensive.

The cost of one night's stay is enough to buy several pounds of meat!
Gu Lianshan was tough for once and made the decision before his daughter.

He lived in a room with his son, in the worst-quality room, which cost ten coppers a night.

As for Gu Tang, Gu Lianshan helped her get a medium-sized room for twenty-five copper coins a night, which also included hot water for washing in the morning and evening.

Gu Tang paused, wanting her father and Ping An to live in a medium-sized house as well, but when she glanced at her father's distressed face, she was very tactful and didn't say anything.

Then she obediently took her package from Gu Ping'an and asked the boy to take her to the room.

The father and son were worried, so they followed him.

After seeing her enter the house with his own eyes, he followed the servant to the other side.

After being busy for so long, the father and his two sons had missed dinner time, and there was not much food left in the inn, so they just bought some to fill their stomachs.

Gu Tang threatened that he would find a big restaurant to have an all-meat banquet tomorrow!
In her previous life, Gu Tang was a meat lover. She admired herself for being able to endure to this extent.

Therefore, everything else can be put off until tomorrow, and rewarding yourself is the most important thing!

Gu Lianshan felt sorry for the money, but he was also drooling with greed!
His daughter had just explained to him the all-meat banquet, which involved more than a dozen kinds of meat, each of which was made into a dish, and then served on the table for everyone to taste.

Well, just listening to it makes one's mouth water. Even the county magistrate may not eat in such a luxurious way!
Of course, it will cost a lot of money!

There will be another update later. Those who can’t wait can save it for tomorrow~
