C136 Eating Here Is Very Expensive
This youth was without a doubt Xia Ling.
At noon, he finally arrived at Ping Xing City and decided to rest here for a while.
Honestly speaking, Xia Ling himself did not care about the appetite, the beauty of clothing. However, thirty thousand years ago, when he was Eternal Sword Emperor, he had already formed a habit.
Either not, or it's the best.
There was no other way. As the most powerful Emperor at that time, Xia Ling had to take into consideration his own identity every single time he made a move. He can't just let Eternal Sword Emperor squat on the side of the road and eat noodles, right?
It was really funny just thinking about it.
After arriving at Ping Xing City, Xia Ling was very satisfied with the tall building and its white design. He felt that if he was here, he would still be unworthy of his identity.
In the past, there weren't many conditions in Ningnan City, but now that he was out, he had to have something.
However, Liu Xiaolai was surprised when she heard that Xia Ling was going to the private room. She even looked up to see if any of the other waiters had noticed. Then he lowered his head and hurriedly said, "Are you crazy? Little brother, I'm not lying to you. And in the private room, there is a minimum consumption quota of two thousand silver! "
2000 taels for a meal! Liu Xiaolai didn't even dare to think about it. She felt like she would never be able to spend that much money in her entire life!
"You needn't worry, I've seen the menu. "Of course I already know that." Xia Ling could sense the kindness of the girl in front of him, so he patiently explained. Lead the way. "
Since the customer had already said so, Liu Xiaolai had no other choice. If he neglected the customers, he would be expelled. However, she still couldn't believe in her heart. How could such a young child be able to afford it?
Liu Xiaolai was even a little worried. Was he here on purpose to vent his anger on his family?
There was no need for that!
While walking, Xia Ling looked at the furnishings in Jiangtong Building. He nodded. The arrangement here was indeed quite good. It showed a high status, but it was not too frivolous.
Liu Xiaolai led Xia Ling up to the second floor, where most of the rooms were large and small. The designs of these rooms were also very depressing. Just by looking at the arrangement of the walls, one could tell that the construction price was not cheap.
"Yo, little Lai, why did you come to the second floor?"
Suddenly, a woman came up to him with a smile. She was also dressed like a maid from the Jiangtong Restaurant. She looked a little older than Liu Xiaolai, and though she was smiling, her eyes were rather unfriendly.
Liu Xiaolai's heart tightened slightly as she replied, "Of course I'm here to entertain guests."
She was very clear that even the maids in this Jiang Tong Tower were of all ranks. And with every level, there was still such a huge gap. A new maid like Liu Xiaolai would usually only be able to serve ordinary customers downstairs. Only the old and prestigious maids had the qualifications to go upstairs.
It's not just a job difference. Because of its status as a Jiangtong Building, the guests it received were all wealthy merchants and powerful figures. Most of the guests who were able to enter the private box were the leaders of the major powers.
There was a huge difference between serving these people and serving an ordinary merchant guild downstairs. If they were to be chosen by the guests upstairs and brought out to enter the residence, that would be a lifetime's worth of wealth!
Even in terms of pure silver, the guests upstairs were even more extravagant. If even the tiniest bit of information about them leaked out from their subordinates, it would be equivalent to several years of other people's income!
As a result, the status of the maids serving in the private rooms on the second floor rose as well.
"Guest?" The woman's eyes looked around and landed on Xia Ling. As if he had seen something incomparably funny, he covered his mouth and laughed without the slightest trace of politeness. Hahaha, Little Lai, is this the customer you were talking about? "
Then, she pretended to understand, and patted Liu Xiaolai's shoulder, "I understand your desire to enter the second floor's private room, but you shouldn't lose your basic sense of judgement. Can this kid afford it? "
The woman turned around and shouted at Xia Ling: "Hey, kid, where are we? Is that something you can come here for? Get lost! "
Xia Ling frowned for a moment. He thought that at a place like Jiang Tong House, one shouldn't have the habit of judging a person by his appearance. He didn't expect the other party to be so serious.
"Sis Chen, please step aside." This is my guest. Please take note of your attitude towards him. " Liu Xiaolai suddenly held out her hand to stop the woman and said seriously.
Liu Xiaolai knew very well that the reason why this Sis Chen had such an attitude was because she didn't want to take the opportunity to work on the second floor. Otherwise, what did it have to do with her little maid?
But like this, Liu Xiaolai was even more unyielding. Otherwise, if he couldn't even protect his own guest in this Jiangtong Tower, he would probably be directly sent away by the shopkeeper!0
The head storekeeper was extremely busy every day, and was not interested in understanding the cause and effect in detail. He was afraid that Sister Chen would exaggerate things a little and report that he could only leave Jiangtong Hotel!
Therefore, at this time, Liu Xiaolai had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue walking forward.
"Liu Xiaolai, don't be crazy!" Hearing a new maid speak to him in such a tone. "This Sis Chen cried out like a cat whose tail has been stepped on." If you bring a poor guy to eat dinner at Jiangtong Restaurant, wouldn't others say the same? "
"... This is also for your own good! "
Liu Xiaolai turned her head and walked past her with Xia Ling, "Customer, let me bring you to the room, please follow me."
Sis Chen covered her chest, a trace of malevolence on her face. She had not expected that the maid who had just entered would also be so unyielding.
She did not dare to continue making noise in the corridor, as the rules of Jiangtong House were very strict. If the other guests were to be disturbed, the manager wouldn't be courteous.
However, she clenched her teeth. He would teach this ignorant maid a lesson!
Xia Ling was very satisfied after entering a private room. This was indeed a quiet environment. Although it was not big, the furnishings and decorations seemed very elegant. A huge window on the ground allowed one to clearly see the view of the entire city.
Xia Ling pulled up his chair and sat down. He said straightforwardly with a smile, "Why? Didn't you want to stop me from coming up? "Why did you change your mind so decisively just now?"
Liu Xiaolai forced a smile and said, "That's right, but after being seen by Sis Chen just now, there's nothing I can do to save her." Even if I bring you out immediately and she intentionally makes a snitch, I'll still be expelled. "
The girl then laughed, "So why don't I bring you up for a good meal? In any case, the Jiang Tong Tower has an extremely large background. At the very most, they would only be chasing me away. They won't hold a child like you accountable. "
Xia Ling smiled and said, "Alright, then let's introduce your specialties."
