"It's actually a white radish!?"

Wang Lu opened his eyes wide and looked at the contents of his bowl in disbelief.

The dignified second-generation rich chief of Wangjia Village, the unparalleled man who cracked the twelve chain of tasks in Lingxi Town, only had a boiled radish for dinner!?

He cast suspicious eyes on the book boy: "Do you want to be so frugal!?"

Wang Zhong was extremely aggrieved: "Master, you can't blame me. If you go out and take a look, you will know that the prices in this inn are crazy. A boiled radish costs ten taels of silver!"

Wang Lu was stunned for a while: "Ten taels is just ten taels, we rich second generation are not short of money."

"The boss lady in question is also restricting purchases! One person can only buy one!"

"...Have you told him that we are VIPs staying in the upper room?"

Wang Zhong nodded very vigorously and angrily: "Yes, otherwise her price would be five hundred taels!"

"Isn't that heavier than a carrot? The price of silver has plummeted to this point recently?"

Wang Zhong was indignant: "The landlady has a good calculation and thinks that everyone is a fool! Now the people in the lobby would rather go hungry than buy her radish, not to mention her family is not the only one selling food in the town!"

"Then you still buy these ten taels of radishes? Do you really think we are not short of money?"

Wang Zhong continued to complain: "The prices in other parts of the town have been driven up for a long time. Now gold and silver are like rubbish. A radish worth ten taels of silver is already considered a reasonable price."

Wang Lu frowned: "This conscience should not be eaten... I hate carrots the most."

Wang Zhong said angrily: "Young master won't eat, I will eat, but I'm still hungry."

Wang Lu ignored the book boy's complaint: "I want to eat meat."

"The radishes are five hundred taels each, and the meat is probably five thousand taels per plate. The money we have is enough to buy half a plate."

"Is that so..." Wang Lu pondered for a moment, looked down at the radish in the bowl, and suddenly asked, "Can the store sell this radish?"

Wang Zhong shrugged: "Of course it can't be sold, only a fool would buy it."

"In that case, our dinner is settled..." Wang Lu's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but tap his fingers on the table, his expression getting more and more excited.

"Master?" Wang Zhong tilted his head, puzzled.

"Hmph, I probably have some meat to eat tonight."

After saying that, Wang Lu grabbed his luggage and stood up to go out.

——

In the lobby on the first floor, the lady boss behind the counter looked impatient.

More than a hundred white radishes were boiled in hot water in the back kitchen, but not even one of them has been sold now - except for the twelve radishes that were sold at a low price. Although the princes and nobles in the inn were useless, they didn't sell any.

She is so stupid that even though she has a fortune of hundreds of millions, no one will buy her conscience carrot.

From a cost point of view, the loss of the pot of radishes in the kitchen was minimal, but the face of the proprietress of her Home Inn could not be damaged. More importantly, a certain bet was likely to be lost.

"Oh... so annoying!"

The landlady stretched her body and scanned the lobby through her squinted eyes.

Tsk, that guy from Canglan Country is not here! Otherwise, I could have sold him to buy dozens of them...

Just as he was considering whether to violently sell the princelings in the lobby, he heard the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs from upstairs.

The arrival of someone made the landlady's eyes light up. Wang Lu, who had cracked the twelve chain of tasks one after another, was here again.

Seeing him, the boss's wife couldn't help but want to laugh, especially when she thought about someone's mission chain that she swore could not be cracked but was broken by him with his own hands, the boss's wife couldn't help laughing and suffered a stomachache.

Judging from Wang Lu's appearance, he probably had a plan when he went downstairs, but it's a pity that there is no longer any task chain here.

"Lady boss, I'm here to buy radishes."

The landlady smiled: "The special offer is only available once."

"It doesn't matter, I'll buy it at the original price."

Do you want to buy it at the original price? The landlady’s smile faded a bit: “How much do you want?”

"Let's take five first. I want the bigger one."

“It’s a bit more expensive if it’s bigger.”

"It doesn't matter, I'm not short of money."

"Okay, three thousand five hundred taels, pay first."

Without saying a word, Wang Lu threw all his belongings - a dozen banknotes from the Daming Kingdom of Cangxi Prefecture on the counter.

The landlady waved her hand to Wang Lu: "I'll send it to you later. Please come back."

Wang Lu didn't delay, turned around and went upstairs. The landlady then took the pile of banknotes and counted them slowly.

He is such an interesting person. No wonder he can crack the twelve-link task chain. His ideas are completely different from those of the losers with no noble background in the lobby. Someone who is regarded as a heretic on the mountain can probably find someone of the same kind.

The landlady counted the money in a leisurely manner, and when she finished counting the last one, there were already several figures in front of the counter.

They were all servants or soldiers of the young masters. They all had smiles on their faces, but their smiles were extremely unnatural.

"Lady boss, I'm here to buy..."

"Lady boss, the radish you have here..."

"My young master wants to..."

The landlady didn't even raise her head: "One thousand and two pieces, how much do you want?"

The servants were surprised: "Not five hundred taels?"

"The price has increased, whether you like it or not."

The servants turned around and asked their master in embarrassment, but without exception they received a positive answer.

If you are simply being blackmailed, spending an extra dollar is a waste, but if you can exchange for a trace of immortality, tens of millions of taels of silver will just be idle. Now it seems that the ridiculous price set by this strange inn has its own reasons.

Just like the incredible task chain at the entrance of the town.

Being in Lingxi Town, opportunities are everywhere. The princelings in the lobby were hesitant and waiting, but when they saw someone taking the lead, they naturally followed him swarm.

Even the wild man in the mountains could take out several thousand taels of silver, and others could naturally take more.

"Then...buy two first?"

"I want five!"

"I want ten!"

"Damn, my young master has reserved the venue!"

Banknotes from all over the world were quickly piled up in front of the landlady's counter. Not to mention the hundred radishes cooking in the kitchen, even the next few pots were fully booked. These princes and nobles didn't have much else.

, the only thing is that there is a lot of money, so much that the landlady is too soft to count the money.

It is naturally a happy event for a businessman to make a lot of money. The proprietress counted the tens of thousands of profits and faced a group of customers with nearly infinite spending power, but the smile on her face was far less sincere than before.

"Oh, what a bunch of idiots."

This time, she said it very blatantly.

——

midnight.

Along with the breeze outside the window, the slight gurgling sound is particularly eye-catching.

"Master, are you hungry?"

At one end of the room, Wang Zhong spoke softly. At the other end, the young master snorted angrily: "I'm not hungry."

"...Master, there is half of the carrot left and I haven't touched it. If you are hungry..."

"I would rather starve to death than eat carrots."

"Young master, people are like iron rice or steel..."

"Since you care about me so much, go outside and dig some wild vegetables and headhunt wild boars."

"How is it possible!?"

"Then shut up."

After Wang Lu finished speaking, he turned over and stopped talking. The boy stopped talking, but also lost his voice.

There are some things that cannot be said.

The young master confidently staked all his belongings, but now it seems that he has not achieved the desired results - not to mention the chicken, duck and fish, even the five boiled radishes that were supposed to be delivered are gone.

For a young master who is proud and arrogant and has never been frustrated in his work, this novel experience may not be pleasant, but... after all, he is not a fairy character who wields a sword, so setbacks in life are inevitable.

The book boy shrugged slightly on the bed, thinking that it wouldn't be a bad thing to teach the young master a lesson, otherwise he would really think that he had some kind of heavenly spiritual root and was different from all living beings in the world.

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a knock on the door.

The moment Wang Zhong was stunned, the young master had already stood up and got out of bed.

Opening the door, the pretty and delicate face of the landlady was outside. Then, her two small hands were padded with towels, carrying an outrageously large food box.
