Chapter 94: Arrive at the Imperial Capital
Since the big snake failed to attack that night, it made Yue Ye and Mu Sifan scared for a few days. Mu Sifan no longer had the interest to enjoy the scenery along the way.
The horses rush all the way on the moonlit night, hurrying around in the daytime, and finding a place to rest at night, the journey is smooth.
...
Time flies, and a few days later, Yue Ye and Mu Sifan finally arrived at the most prosperous place in the Imperial Capital Langcheng, the imperial capital.
When Yue Ye and Mu Sifan arrived at the southern gate of the imperial capital, they were already exhausted and exhausted.
Seeing that it was getting late, Yue Ye discussed with Mu Sifan and agreed that he would first find a hotel to repair it overnight, but he would wash it up well and get the energy tomorrow morning and then go to the palace to meet the king.
...
By entering the western gate of the imperial capital, you can see the unprecedented prosperity in the imperial capital.
Under the illumination of the afterglow of the sunset, the sudden eaves, high-rise shop signs, endless streams of pedestrians, and indifferent and comfortable smiles all contrast the prosperity of the imperial capital of the Cyan Kingdom.
...
There was originally an extremely spacious open space between the west gate of the imperial capital and the main street.
The government planned this empty land into a market and rented it to some small vendors in the annual rent model.
The downtown Xicheng Gate built by the government is a bustling place in the imperial capital.
Although it was already ten days late at this moment, there were still many small vendors with large oil-paper umbrellas hanging on the bustling market, and they were still hawking at the passing crowds.
After passing through this market where small vendors gather, we entered a main street in the imperial capital.
On both sides of this main street, there are shops, teahouses, taverns, pawn shops, workshops, butchers, and government agencies, which can be said to be full of everything.
Although it was evening, there were still many pedestrians on the street.
At this moment, there are porters carrying loads and rushing on the road, drivers driving ox carts to deliver goods, and young men stopping to enjoy the street view, etc.
Moon Ye walked slowly forward with the reins of the horse, but Mu Sifan was sitting leisurely on the horse's back. She looked around and occasionally saw some novel things, so her eyes would be attracted by those novel things without hesitation.
The prosperity of the imperial capital is not comparable to that of a small Hechi ancient town in the western part of the country of Chi.
At this moment, Mu Sifan saw a lot of strange things she had never seen before in her dreams. She thought in her heart that she would have to take Yue Ye to accompany her to take a good walk whenever she had free time in the future.
...
However, Moon Night was not as leisurely as Mu Sifan. Now he just wanted to find a suitable inn as soon as possible, have a good meal, but have a good sleep.
Because he was so tired, he had been exhausted all these days. At this moment, he finally arrived at his destination, and the fatigue of his body suddenly became apparent.
I just passed several inns in front. When Yue Ye asked about the price, he was surprised to find that there were different differences in the prices of each standard room in these inns on the same street.
Yueye wanted to find a few more inns to ask. After all, this is the imperial capital, and the consumption in the imperial capital is naturally higher than that outside. However, the imperial capital also has the benefits of the imperial capital. There are many shops here, but it also gives the majority of consumer groups and has too many screening conditions.
...
As a farmer's boy, Yue Ye has lived a hard life since he was a child. Although Yue Ye has a lot of money on his body, he has become accustomed to being frugal in his daily life. Even if he has some money on his body at this moment, he is reluctant to spend it.
Of course, most of the money on Yue Ye was given to the beautiful woman I met on the country road that day.
But this time they came from afar, to go to Limo Hall to learn skills. If they really had the opportunity to enter Limo Hall to study, it would not be a matter of staying for one day or two days.
If you really have to study for three or five years, how much money will it cost?
So Yueye didn't want to waste every tael of silver on her body. Although this silver is a good thing, it can only be considered a good thing if it is used on the blade?
...
The moon also went from west to east. After asking along the way, the quotes given by each inn were different. The cheapest one was one ounce per night, including food and accommodation, and the most expensive one was seven per night.
After searching for a long time, Yue Ye couldn't walk anymore. He stood there and rested for a while, and suddenly turned back. He still planned to stay in the inn that cost one night.
The inn called "Sifanglai" is located next to an alley south of the main street. Its geographical location is naturally not as lively as on the main street.
So the shop owner hung the inn sign on the entrance to the main street and alley.
Yueye saw this sign on the main street and found the inn along the way by looking for the signs left by the store.
At this moment, there were two extremely simple guest wind lanterns hanging outside the inn. It was not yet dark and the wind lanterns were not lit.
The waiter of the shop was busy wiping the tables and chairs in the inn hall. When he looked up, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the Yue Ye and the two wandering at the door. The waiter immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Do you two guests want to stay in a hotel?"
The waiter of the shop greeted him with a smile. He suddenly saw Yue Ye holding a horse, and hurriedly took the reins from Yue Ye's hand, and said with a smile: "This shop has good grass, and can take good horses for free for objective care."
After listening to the waiter's words, Yueye nodded with satisfaction and pondered for a while. Yueye suddenly asked with a suspicious look on his face, "But one ounce of food and accommodation, including horse materials?"
"this……"
The waiter of the shop stammered, and the smile on his face suddenly stopped. He was very embarrassed for a moment, but he didn't know how to answer.
After all, the location and decoration of their inn are far inferior to those of the luxuriously decorated and excellently located in the Main Street.
It's hard to get a business. If I say that the forage needs additional price, the customer in front of me might turn around and look for other inns.
But if you make a decision on your own and say that the fodder is given for free, the shopkeeper may not agree. Not to mention whether the business is successful or not, the shopkeeper will definitely blame himself and he will inevitably be scolded.
So the waiter frowned in an instant, and he fell into a dilemma for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
Yueye glanced at the waiter who was standing beside him. Seeing that he had not answered silently for a long time, Yueye sighed softly, then shook his head, and wanted to take the horse rope in the waiter's hand.
However, at this moment, someone suddenly coughed lightly in the inn. Yue Ye and others immediately looked for the sound and looked into the inn.
"One penny, one boarding room, free horse feed, can this guest official stay in the hotel?"
The shopkeeper heard the conversation between the waiter and Yueye in the store at some point. He hurried out and saw that the two people who were about to stay in the store were the man and woman who had just come to inquire about the price. The shopkeeper was immediately delighted, and he secretly made up his mind.
Yue Ye was stunned for a moment after hearing the shopkeeper's words, and then nodded to the shopkeeper, then withdrew his hand that was about to pick up the horse's reins, and immediately said to the shopkeeper: "The deal is completed."
The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes and gave a wink at the waiter. The shopkeeper was also a thief and immediately understood the shopkeeper's meaning. He suddenly smiled and said to Yueye: "Master Guest, the young man will take the guest officer's horse to the horse shed behind the inn and serve the grass and clear water."
After saying this, the waiter hurriedly unloaded the package on the horse's back and led the foal to the side of the inn to the horse's shed behind the inn.
When the shopkeeper saw that the waiter had taken away the horse, he immediately asked Yueye and the others with a smile on his face, "Two guests, please come in!"
Yue Ye nodded, picked up two packages with both hands, and walked into the inn first.
Mu Sifan took the last package and followed Yue Ye tightly.
...
"Two guests, although the decoration of our inn is so bad, it is definitely the cheapest and most comfortable inn in the city. Uh... there is no second in this one."
The shopkeeper led the way in front, but smiled and chatted with Yue Ye.
"Shopkeeper, please arrange some food for us and then boil some hot water for us later."
Yue Ye did not pay attention to the shopkeeper's chat. After entering the inn, he impatiently told the shopkeeper about the meal.
"Uh... the two guests, this is the case. The standard room for food and accommodation that we launched in our store for activities was originally quite good, but objectively, the extra horse feed we charged suddenly reduced, so... this... the food may be a little short of it."
The shopkeeper suddenly stopped, and he slowly turned around and looked at Yue Ye, immediately pretending to be embarrassed.
Upon hearing this, Mu Sifan's delicate face suddenly showed a sense of suspicion. She couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Ah? A little bit short of it? How bad is this little bit short of food?"
The shopkeeper scratched the back of his head, pretended to be helpless, and slowly said, "Cough!... Uh, this food... If the two guests only have a standard room, then we will give a bun for free for dinner.
If you want two standard rooms, the meal will naturally be much better than one. Uh... Then give a free bag of buns."
When Mu Sifan heard this, she was so angry that she opened her eyes wide and stared at the inn shopkeeper who looked like a profiteer in front of her, and said angrily: "What? I only get one bun in one room? I only get one basket of buns in two rooms? Humph! Are you also called a boarding shop?"
"Don't worry, this guest official, the standard room for food and accommodation launched by our store is not like this. It is because this guest official wants to reduce our horse feed money, and we are helpless!
The event price originally launched, our store has no profit at all. It will not make us lose money in business, right? You can't let us drink the northwest wind!"
The inn shopkeeper pointed to Yue Ye and said this passage with a slander, still looking embarrassed.
