Chapter 105: The Magic of Silver
One hundred taels!
The people who were listening were all stunned.
Three people spent one hundred taels of silver for a month?
Is this a gift?
Are there holes in the brains of rich people?
Zhang Ze also thought carefully before proposing a hundred taels, which he thought was neither too much nor too little.
Recently, the price of grain has increased tenfold, and the prices of meat and vegetables have also skyrocketed. In Tongcheng, just eating a meal these days costs several taels of silver, and the taste is not something that the young master can get used to.
Gu Zhang's food is okay, unlike the coarse grains that other families eat. Although there are not many vegetables, they can't be so particular outside.
When Chen heard the one hundred taels, she didn't pack up her things. She straightened her waist and looked at Gu Zhang with a sharp look, as if urging him to agree quickly.
Gu Zhang looked at Gu Fei again, but Gu Fei had already turned around and blinked at him desperately.
Gu Zhang knew it in his heart. The magic of silver was irresistible to his wife and daughter.
He was about to nod his head and agree, when Qian suddenly came over from the side, "Why don't you guys eat at my house? I have white flour at home. I'll make white flour cakes and white flour buns for you every meal. What do you think?" Qian's eyes were fixed on the silver note in Zhang Ze's hand, as if she wanted to stretch out a pair of hands from her eyes and snatch the silver note away.
Zhang Ze glanced at her and said lightly: "Thank you for your kindness, auntie, we still want to eat at Uncle Gu's house."
Gu Zhang made a prompt decision and took the silver note, "Okay, then you guys can eat with my family, but there are no good dishes to find right now, I'm afraid I'll have to inconvenience you guys."
Zhang Ze hurriedly said: "No inconvenience, no inconvenience, we'll eat whatever your family eats."
Zhang Ze completed the task and left happily.
Chen glared at Qian fiercely, shameless, actually wanting to snatch her family's good thing!
Qian watched Gu Zhang hand the hundred taels to Gu Fei, who then put it in her arms. She really wanted to rush over and snatch the banknotes.
The mood of the spectators was also unsettled for a long time.
Aunt Liu's mouth twitched for a long time, and turned to the village chief and said, "What did I say? Gu Laoer's family is lucky. If it weren't for making rabbit meat today, such a thing wouldn't have happened. One hundred taels! One hundred taels!"
"Alas, why can't you pick up a rabbit even when you pee!"
"My cooking skills are not bad!"
Zhang Laoda's wife Yu was also sighing there, "Alas, why can't we have such a good thing?"
"That's one hundred taels!"
"Selling our family wouldn't be enough for one hundred taels."
Seeing one hundred taels of silver, everyone had different degrees of envy and jealousy in their hearts.
Qian returned to her own home and kept throwing things.
Seeing the hundred taels of silver being taken away by others, she was so angry that she didn't know who to vent it on.
Her eyes fell on Xing'er, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she pulled Xing'er away.
Xing'er was puzzled, "Mom, where are you going?"
Qian didn't say anything, and pulled Xing'er directly to Su Chen, smiling at him flatteringly, "This young master, do you want someone to serve you? My daughter can do everything, serving tea and water, making the bed, and folding the quilt. Young master, you just need to--"
Before he finished speaking, Su Chen didn't even raise his eyelids, and called softly, "Chen Hu--"
Chen Hu immediately blocked Su Chen like an iron tower, and scolded: "You woman, what are you doing, don't come to harass my young master!"
Qian wanted to speak, and just as she opened her mouth, Chen Hu put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist and stepped forward, "Are you not leaving?"
