The madam thought Huangpu Xin was just another poor man without money, but to her surprise, he pulled out some pieces of scattered gold from somewhere. She took them in her hand, and the bracelet on her wrist discreetly flashed, shining brightly. It was real gold and silver!
So she quickly called out, "Oh my! This gentleman is generous! I have underestimated you. Please go upstairs and wait. I will go get this batch of goods for you to choose from. Will that be alright?"
Huangpu Xin shook his head secretly, it seems that he has given too much, and he doesn't know the price of this commodity and the purchasing power of gold and silver in this world, which is troublesome...
But on the surface, he still looks calm and composed, nodding as if he doesn't lack money: "Okay."
"Hey, Chunfang! Hurry and lead this gentleman to the Drunken Spring Pavilion!" The madam called out, and immediately a woman in a plain green dress and simple jade hairpin emerged from the room behind the screen and whispered something in her ear.
Huangpu Xin listened intently, catching every word.
"Mom! The young master just came to pick up the goods, and now we're packing them!"
"Ah, why didn't you say so earlier! I just hired a Fat lamb!"
"Should we show this to him first? After all, that young master never pays..."
"Hush! You take this up first, I'll go talk to The young master over there!"
"Is," Huangpu Xin raised an eyebrow and said, "What? Do you still look down on our ethnic group here, so neglectful?"
The old madam apologized and left with a sigh, while a woman named " Chunfang " extended her hand and pointed the way, saying, "Young man, this way. The Drunken Spring Pavilion at Neon Tower is the best place to enjoy the scenery of Zhangyu City..."
As Huangpu Xin ascended the stairs, he listened to the woman boast about all the great things at Neon Tower, from delicacies to beautiful women, and the picturesque scenery. It was almost like listening to a sales pitch.
Just like they had practiced, the two of them had just reached the fifth floor when the girl finished her introduction.
As soon as they entered, there was a four-season screen, and the window on the left faced Moon Harbor. Huangpu Xin was sitting on something like a couch, hey, don't say anything, it's quite soft and comfortable, there's something...
Huangpu Xin Seeing the girl working hard, he casually grabbed a silver ingot from the storage compartment and threw it to her: "Order some signature dishes, don't let anyone bother me, and urge that old woman again, tell her to hurry up."
Chunfang Brightening up at the sight, she took a bite and exclaimed busily.
I saw the woman close the door and leave. Huangpu Xin picked up the freshly brewed tea on the table and took a sip, smacking his lips. "Hmm, it's bitter, not as good as milk tea."
Looking at the bustling Zhangyu City and the green Hai River in the distance outside the window, it was indeed a picturesque scene.
Talking about it, since coming from the time travel until now, I can finally celebrate that the "crazy people in Zone A" are no longer monitoring me. But now I've found another person who can help me and others time travel, but I don't know where they are... No, I don't even know if the one who brought us here is a person...
Am I really just a busybody? Every time I relax, something comes up. Listening to that old bawd, there's always some trouble. I was originally planning to help if I could, but if someone beats me to it...
Huangpu Xin is now afraid to use force, Zhou Dian the two are in their own world. Can't fight, can't shake, just adding trouble. MD, in the future, can't just wave a big hand and directly abolish slavery, overthrow feudal rule, and make everyone equal. But thinking about it, this kind of place that hides dirt and filth, no matter when...
Shaking his head to shake off the thoughts, coincidentally at this time, Chunfang came in with a group of gorgeously dressed girls, each holding a dish, and Chunfang herself holding a pot of wine.
Huangpu Xin said, "Put the dishes down, take the wine away, I don't drink this stuff."
"Brother, don't misunderstand. This is our Neon Tower special fruit juice, made from the spiritual peaches of the Three Immortal Mountains!" recommended Chunfang.
"That's worth a try..."
One person threw a silver ingot to dismiss the crowd, and Huangpu Xin looked at the pile of silver ingots in the storage column, sighing. If it weren't for the gold and silver jewelry purchased for zero yuan outside the special zone and pawned in Kunyu City, he wouldn't have so much universal wealth. However, the purchasing power of gold and silver is still holding up, so he and his party should be able to spend for a long time, right?
Thinking of the Hundred taels spirit stone and the cultivation manual bought for ten gold coins at the stall, Huangpu Xin suddenly lost confidence. Cultivation is also an endless pit...
He picked up the fruit juice and took a tentative sip. Huh? In a world without additives, the taste could actually evoke the feeling of modern fruit juice drinks? Where did this little genius come from...
Suddenly noticing that Chunfang was still waiting nearby, Huangpu Xin waved to her. Chunfang brightened up when she saw him, thinking that he had come for business. However, Huangpu Xin tossed a silver ingot to her and asked, "Has anything significant happened around here recently?"
Disappointment flashed across her face briefly, but she quickly suppressed it and smiled, saying, "Young man, are you asking about The Great Emperor's Realm?"
"Ah? You also know about The Great Emperor's Realm?" Huangpu Xin was once again surprised by the integration of the cultivation world and the mundane world in this world.
Chunfang covered her face and chuckled, "Hehe, little brother, you are from a different race, so it's normal that you don't know that the Central Plains also have such things."
She counted on her fingers and said, "The most well-informed in the world are The Secret Pavilion, Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, and my Neon Tower, aren't they?"
Huangpu Xin exclaimed, "What about Wanbaozhai and the Wind and Rain Tower? Since coming to the Central Plains, I've heard a lot about these two. Aren't they also doing big things?"
Chunfang shook her head and said, "They may be well-informed, but they don't sell information to outsiders. To be honest, they probably look down on us for making money by selling information. After all, both of them are involved in very profitable businesses."
"Hehe, but what you do is also a very profitable business!" Huangpu Xin said leisurely as he picked up a dish to examine.
Chunfang hurriedly laughed to cover up and change the subject: "Speaking of which, apart from the Emperor's secret realm, the Immortal Sect in the Sanxian Mountains only accepts disciples once every ten years. And there's also a reshuffle among the four major families in Kunyu City. It's rare for the Jin family's caravan to come to our Zhangyu City. Oh, by the way, it's said that there are ghosts outside Shengkuan City, and now the commoners are clamoring to live inside the city..."
Huangpu Xin heard about the four major families and his heart stirred, saying, "Tell me all the details."
"Okay."
Chunfang held the silver and spoke without hesitation, elaborating for half an hour without knowing how much she had said, telling Huangpu Xin every detail of what he wanted to know.
After a rough summary, Huangpu Xin felt that beneath the seemingly calm Zhangyu City, Kunyu City, Shengkuan City, and even the Sanxian Mountain Range, there were hidden undercurrents.
Facing a table of dishes, in the ancient setting with scarce spices and mundane food, Huangpu Xin found it less appealing than modern society's cuisine. It was tasteless to eat and a pity to waste. However, it was fortunate that the main purpose was to gather intelligence, so the meal was not important. The juice to drink was somewhat interesting.
Just as Huangpu Xin was eating and listening with bated breath, a knock on the door sounded. After hearing a "come in," the old madam with a face full of wrinkles peeked out with a smile.
Huangpu Xin pretended not to know and deliberately looked behind her, only to find no one there. Feigning anger, she said, "Where is the person? Let me tell you, my master is a distinguished guest of the the Zhong family. If you offend me, you won't be able to bear the consequences!"
The madam rolled her eyes inwardly, thinking that this person was just a lackey, but she quickly said, "Esteemed guest, you may not know, but you've come at an inconvenient time. The goods have all been taken by Boss Jinbo Jin, so don't blame us!"
"Ridiculous! How dare you make excuses? I will go tell my master and have Lord Zhongcheng shut down this brothel of yours!" Huangpu Xin threatened as if to leave.
The madam hurriedly stopped him and advised, "Dear guest, please don't leave. Even though we are out of 'goods' at the moment, we still have some beautiful and charming young ladies..."
Huangpu Xin rolled his eyes in his mind. What's the point of training people to sell their skills and not their bodies? Isn't it just to win over the officials and nobles? Are you trying to empty my storage of money by selling to me? If it weren't for the cultivation method, it would be fine, but now there are so many places in the cultivation method that require money. Huangpu Xin cannot possibly spend money on buying a maid.
Huangpu Xin sneered, "Huh, does your Neon Tower have any honest people left? I'm afraid only the kitchen staff are clean!"
Huangpu Xin knew that a business like Neon Tower must have a significant background, at least a force comparable to Wanbaozhai. It was not the right time to offend them. Seeing that the children were unlikely to come, he could only sigh and resign himself to his fate.
Lying back on the collapsed couch, Huangpu Xin complained, "What bad luck! I came here today to find someone to take care of my daily life, but I still can't find anyone..."
"Brother, calm down, calm down... I had no choice either..." Seeing that Huangpu Xin had no intention of getting angry, the madam quickly filled his glass with juice.
Huangpu Xin held the cup and gave a way out: "Well... the only gain today is this juice. Pack a few jars for me when you leave."
"Uh... this thing doesn't keep well, you see..." The madam didn't speak, but Chunfang advised.
"Then bring the person who made this thing here!" Huangpu Xin suddenly shouted, looking like a unreasonable troublemaker: "Would I not pay?! I don't believe it. Today, I want to take away the person who made this juice!"
The madam's face darkened as she forced a smile: "He's just a kitchen helper, it's not good to dirty the eyes of our esteemed guests..."
"Hmm?!" Huangpu Xin glared at her.
"Okay okay, I'll go call..." The madam helplessly left.
Huangpu Xin changed his angry expression and used his telepathic power to eavesdrop. Sure enough, the old madam scolded all the way, muttering curses continuously.
Before long, the old madam brought in a young man wearing coarse linen clothes. The young man was not tall, about six feet, and his face and clothes were covered in black and gray. His bare arms were muscular. Both his expression and physique were nothing like that of a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, but rather resembled a man of twenty or thirty years.
The madam introduced, "He is our waiter here, Zheng Yunyu."
