Chapter 48: A Penny Can Make a Hero
After Guan Chong finished his introduction, his face instantly became interesting, and he said to Xie Xunfeng, "Brother, have you also come to your senses? Do you also want to go there to play? Let me tell you, there is a saying in Longyang City, if you don't go to Hua Manlou, you are not a hero."
Xie Xunfeng said to Guan Chong, "Besides Hua Man Lou, is there any other place? Is it where the princes gather?"
Guan Chong shook his head and said to Xie Xunfeng, "There are many places to eat, drink and have fun, but the most popular place is naturally Hua Man Lou!"
After hearing what Guan Chong said, Xie Xunfeng nodded and said, "Then let's go to Hua Manlou!"
Guan Chong saw Xie Xunfeng's expression, then said with a bitter face, "Brother, I'm afraid it won't work today..."
Xie Xunfeng looked at Guan Chong and said, "Why not today?"
Guan Chong said to Xie Xunfeng, "Brother, do you still have money?"
Xie Xunfeng looked slightly embarrassed, he really had no money.
The money that was previously extorted from Guan Chong and the Yuan family was used to purchase furniture for the hostage residence, as well as the money distributed when recruiting people, and to bribe those who came to the palace to testify. Almost all of it has been spent!
"No money. Aren't you known as Prince Guan? Don't you have any money?" Xie Xunfeng asked.
Guan Chong said with a bitter face, "My stingy father gave me two hundred taels before he passed away. It was enough for me to splurge for a while, but you extorted me for a hundred taels, and then I helped you lobby those witnesses to spend the rest... Now my pockets are cleaner than my face."
"If you don't have money, can't you go to Huamanlou?" Xie Xunfeng said.
Guan Chong smiled bitterly and said, "You can go. You have to pay one or two taels of gold to enter Hua Man Lou. But we can't just look at Hua Man Lou... You can't even drink if you don't order a girl. It costs at least ten taels of gold to order a girl. We can't afford this kind of money... let alone some pretty girls. Do you know how much I spent on Xiao Li, Yuan Hui's girlfriend? A full one hundred taels of gold! This emptied my private savings in an instant."
After listening to this, Xie Xunfeng couldn't help but sigh inwardly, this Hua Manlou is really a den of money.
Seeing that Xie Xunfeng didn't respond, Guan Chong said to Xie Xunfeng, "Well, big brother, just bear with it... There are still more than ten days until next month, and I will be able to withdraw another 100 taels of silver from my account. Then I will treat you to a good time!"
"I can't wait that long!" Xie Xunfeng said subconsciously.
But Guan Chong obviously misunderstood, and said to Xie Xunfeng, " Brother ...if you are in a hurry, let's not go to Hua Manlou. Let's go to a more ordinary, civilian place! Anyway, the effect is almost the same, if you just want to release it, it's enough!"
Xie Xunfeng looked at Guan Chong's obscene expression and was too lazy to explain.
It's true that a penny can make a hero fall.
Although oyster sauce and super fresh powder have been produced, they have been entrusted to Cai Shoucai to sell.
However, what was given to Cai Shoucai was the recipe.
It will take at least a month for Cai Shoucai to make a profit from the initial preparations and a series of marketing work.
He could ask Cai Shoucai for some.
Cai Shoucai could definitely give it, but Xie Xunfeng didn't want to do that.
After all, I want to cooperate with Cai Shoucai for a long time.
I don't want him to look down on me.
Suddenly I remembered that there was still a night-shining pearl in the room that was given by Old Man Wen at the garden party.
I originally wanted to give it to Xiao Yiran, but Xiao Yiran said it was too valuable and didn't accept it.
When Guan Chong saw the night-shining pearl in Xie Xunfeng's hand, his eyes lit up and he said to Xie Xunfeng, "Brother, if you sell this thing... we can go to Hua Man Lou and splurge. If you really want to go... I'll sell you this night-shining pearl first!"
Xie Xunfeng said to Guan Chong, "Okay, but can we pawn it?"
Guan Chong naturally understood what Xie Xunfeng meant, nodded and said, "No problem...Brother, wait for me!"
Guan Chong came and went very quickly. After a while, he placed a pawn ticket and fifty taels of gold in front of Xie Xunfeng and said, "Brother, since it's a live pawn, the price is a bit lower... But, let's go and have some fun, it's enough for fun..."
Without saying anything, Xie Xunfeng said to Guan Chong, "Then let's go without further delay."
Seeing Xie Xunfeng so impatient, Guan Chong said with a smile, "Brother, you are in a good mood today. Don't worry, I will make clear arrangements for you!"
