Chen Ying gave a thumbs up when she heard this. "Okay, sister, this table should cost three hundred taels of silver, right?"

Yuhe smiled evilly, "Who are you looking down on?"

She leaned over and whispered, "That pot of wine alone cost one hundred and eighty taels. I arranged three pots."

Chen Ying gave a thumbs up, "That's great, girl."

Yu He looked proud, "That's right, the expensive wine can't be sold, and the chef can't make a full table of food all year round. Fortunately, you brought this sucker with you."

Gu Yuan, who was listening to the two people talking, swallowed his saliva silently. It was true that you could not cheat anyone but those who had backers.

Look at Lord Feng, I’m afraid he didn’t expect that this meal would cost over a thousand taels!

Chen Ying brought a small shopkeeper and several waiters and took the table back.

As soon as he arrived at the bookstore, Chen Ying went straight to the second floor, "Master Feng has delivered it."

"Come in," Feng Bi's voice came.

Chen Ying led everyone in. The shopkeeper took the bill and the waiter was responsible for serving the dishes.

I can only say that it is worthy of the name Baiweizhai. The fragrance comes out as soon as the dish comes out of the basket.

Several people were already drooling before they even started eating.

Gu Yuan at the door glanced around and found that there were nine people in the private room.

There was one person he hadn't seen before, who must have come after he left.

After the dishes were served, the shopkeeper came up to Feng Bi and said, "Sir Feng, the total is 1,532 taels of silver. Thank you for your patronage."

After saying this, Feng Bi looked at Chen Ying and asked in embarrassment, "Why is it so expensive?"

The young shopkeeper laughed and said, "You are joking, my lord. The most expensive banquet in Baiweizhai has always been priced at this price."

Feng Bi nodded, looked at Chen Ying, and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry that Boss Chen spent the money."

"No, no," Chen Ying cupped his hands, "You paid for it, sir."

Feng Bi was confused. Could it be that Chen Ying didn't pay for the meal?

The young shopkeeper came over, looked at the people at the table, and asked, "Which gentleman is going to pay the bill?"

Feng Bi panicked and said in a low voice, "Boss Chen! What's going on?"

Chen Ying looked confused. "Ah? Didn't you ask me to go to Baiweizhai and order a table of food for you?"

"As you command, best."

Feng Bi's face turned green and he looked around, but Gu Yuan had already hidden away.

Feng Bi smiled with a fake smile, "Boss Chen, where is your servant?"

Chen Ying continued to play dumb, "What did Lord Feng say?"

Feng Bi suppressed his anger and said, "It's your cousin."

Chen Ying slapped his forehead, looked down from the second floor, and shouted, "Xiao Ming!"

"Here it comes," a clear young voice sounded.

Feng Bi's expression improved a little. "Boss Zhang, if you don't believe me, ask your cousin. I told him clearly at the time that I would give him money to buy food for me."

His idea was quite simple. As long as he could talk to that kid of yours, he, Boss Chen, would have to pay the money.

But Chen Ying had already expected this, and on the way home he asked the two to switch seats, so the only one who would come up this time would be Gu Ming.

Sure enough, when Feng Bi saw who was coming, his face instantly turned bad.

Chen Ying responded appropriately, "Yes, that's what you said, so didn't I give the money to Baiweizhai as shipping fee to hire these brothers?"

The young shopkeeper Tian Shun also spoke up at this time, "Yes, Boss Chen gave us five taels of silver and asked us to deliver it here, and gave the big shopkeeper five taels to ask the kitchen to make it for you first."

Feng Bi regretted it very much at this time. If he had not been concerned about his face and wanted to avoid being accused by his colleagues of being stingy enough to cheat a small boss, he would not have pulled Gu Yuan aside.

Feng Bi couldn't suppress his anger anymore, "Boss Chen, I'm talking about the other one."

Chen Ying cupped his hands and said in embarrassment, "Sir, this is really unfortunate. My brother is not feeling well today and did not come to work."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I clearly saw him today!" Feng Bi asked with his face flushed and neck thick.

After saying that, he looked at the others and said, "Did you see that? The guy who led us today is not this guy."

"This..." The few people looked at each other, and finally came to a conclusion, "This is it."

“The clothes are all the same.”

"Yeah, yeah, that's him."

Feng Bi didn't know that this was specially arranged by Chen Ying, who asked the two of them to wear the same clothes and take turns to come out to receive guests.

What's more, except Feng Bi, no one else has been here very often. In addition, Gu Yuan and Gu Ming are of similar age, so these people naturally have no impression of them.

Feng Bi clenched his fists, but reality did not allow him to continue arguing.

The person who had been sitting in the main seat in the private room and had not spoken seemed impatient and asked, "Are you done?"

"Okay, okay," Feng Bi smiled and reluctantly took out the 1,600 taels of silver notes, "No need to change."

The young shopkeeper borrowed money and acted like a bootlicker to the fullest, "Thank you very much, sir. Enjoy your meal and drink, sirs. I will take my leave now."

When going downstairs, Chen Ying whispered, "Remember to show the money to the Ninth Master and the adults."

Tian Shun nodded, "Don't worry."

"And that person, I think he's the Eighth Prince. Do you remember his appearance clearly?"

"I remember it clearly. Don't worry, Brother Chen, I will report it truthfully."

After seeing off the group of people from Baiweizhai, Gu Ming approached Chen Ying and said, "Brother Chen, I heard that Baiweizhai is the largest restaurant in Kyoto. When can we try the food there?"

He could smell the fragrance in the lobby on the first floor just now.

Chen Ying rolled his eyes and scolded in a low voice, "Eat, eat, eat. All you know is eating. Go get to work!"

Gu Ming reluctantly took the rag to wipe the table, looking dejected.

Chen Ying sighed and waved for Gu Ming to come over.

He picked up a pen and paper from the counter, wrote a few words quickly and handed them to Gu Ming.

"Here you go. Don't you want to eat Baiweizhai's food? Take it and exchange it."

Gu Ming looked at the paper in his hand and said, "Give him a few dishes to try. Ying."

Gu Ming looked at Chen Ying suspiciously, "Is this okay?"

Chen Ying glared, "Don't give it to me."

"No, no, no, I want it." Then he ran out.

Gu Ming was out for more than half an hour, and when he came back he came to Chen Ying and asked, "Brother Chen, why does Baiweizhai feed beggars?"

"In that case, wouldn't the beggars wait at the door when the time comes?"

In his opinion, although Baiweizhai’s deeds were good, they were living too comfortably without doing any work, and they might end up being beggars their whole lives!

Chen Ying raised his head from the book and looked at Gu Ming, "Why? Do you think the beggars in Kyoto have no worries about food and drink and live too comfortably?"

Gu Ming nodded.

Chen Ying smiled and said, "Tian Shun, the one who just came to deliver food, turned out to be one of those beggars."

Gu Ming raised his head and looked at Chen Ying in confusion, "Most of the beggars in Kyoto are the families of criminals. Tian Shun's father was originally an official in the Ministry of Revenue."

"What?" Gu Ming was shocked. "That means those beggars I saw were all officials?"
