Chapter 390 A Table of Celestial Delicacies
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry to disappoint you. It's perfectly normal for this fairy to change locations. It was a beautiful peach orchard, with peach blossoms everywhere. I almost didn't want to come back," Chu Yiren said with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Chu Xihuan exposed his weakness, saying, "Is it because you don't want to come back? You got lost and couldn't get out of the peach grove. If we hadn't come looking for you, you would have stayed in the peach grove."
"Fourth Brother, all you do is expose people's weaknesses, humph!"
"Haha, I'm impressed!"
The meal lasted all morning, and both sides were very satisfied.
Before leaving, Wenwen quietly pulled aside Chu Xihuan and his two siblings, "How many spirit stones will this meal cost today?"
"Ah? No need, no need." Chu Xihuan hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands.
"you misunderstood."
Wenwen looked at him seriously and said, "I want to take some back for my family to try. Let me find out the price first. Just tell me how much this meal will cost."
Chu Xihuan shook his head again, "No, no, no, given the friendship between our two families, you can take it back as you like, it's fine."
"Wenwen, don't be shy, our family can afford to pay for these meals."
"Never mind, I'll order from somewhere else."
The scuffle between the group caught the attention of an elder at the door.
"What's wrong, west Huan?" the head of the Chu family asked.
"Father, this, this, she, she..." Chu Xihuan couldn't say it.
"Uncle Chu, it's like this, I'd like to know how many spirit stones this feast will cost. I'd like to order a hundred tables to take home," Wenwen said calmly.
"How many?"
One hundred tables.
hiss!
Everyone present gasped in shock.
The Wen family was shocked, ashamed, and heartbroken.
Surprised? That's because Wenwen has a huge appetite.
They felt ashamed because they didn't have any spirit stones in their pockets; they were poor.
The heartache stemmed from the child's filial piety; even away from home, he never forgot his family. This sentiment almost brought tears to the eyes of several elders in the Wen family.
The head of the Chu family quickly recovered from his astonishment.
A little embarrassed, he said, "Well, I'm not sure if the restaurant has that many ingredients. How about we call the manager over and you talk to him?"
The shopkeeper arrived quickly, along with two head chefs.
After listening to Wenwen's request and discussing it for a while, the shopkeeper spoke.
"A single banquet costs over a thousand spirit stones, and we can prepare twelve tables a day. Currently, the kitchen only has enough stock for twenty tables."
This is quite different from Wenwen's requirements. They can only stay for three or four days at most, which is only half of what they asked for.
Let's just take half and bring it back. Everyone can have a taste. If they want more, they can come back later.
"Let's book for four days first, and do as much as we can. As for the deposit..."
Before Wenwen could finish speaking, she was interrupted by the head of the Chu family.
"The deposit is not needed yet; we will settle the payment in four days."
The head of the Chu family turned and instructed, "west Huan, you work with the shopkeeper to prepare these ingredients properly, and don't let anything go wrong."
"Father, don't worry."
"That's all for now, everyone. We'll head back now, see you tomorrow."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
The head of the Chu family and the elders of the Chu family left, leaving only the three siblings of the Chu family behind.
"Alright, you young folks go ahead and look around, we'll just wander around a bit too."
"Big brother, take good care of your younger siblings and get back to the inn before dark."
After giving their instructions, Wen Yuanqian and Wen Qilin, along with several other elders, walked towards the street on the left.
"Brother Wen, Brother Ye, where would you like to go shopping, or what would you like to buy?" Chu Xihuan asked.
"Wenwen, what about you? What do you want to buy? Clothes, jewelry, or cosmetics? I'll take you everywhere," Chu Yiren enthusiastically introduced.
"Take a look at them all. Let's learn about them first. If we're interested, we can compare prices from different vendors before making a purchase."
Wenwen said, "How about we start with the magical artifacts? We can go from shop to shop and feast our eyes, okay?"
"Okay, let's go."
Led by the Chu siblings, the group first went to a shop called Sihai Pavilion.
The waiter, seeing that they were the Chu siblings, greeted them warmly, "Young Master Chu, what kind of magical artifact would you like to buy today?"
"Do you have any rare magical artifacts? Show them to us," Chu Xihuan said.
The waiter pondered for a moment, then took out an item and said, "There is indeed one that is somewhat rare, though it is not very lethal, but it is fun and novel."
After saying that, he activated his spiritual power, activating an egg-shaped object.
One end of the egg bloomed like a flower, and petals drifted out from the egg. The drifting petals instantly transformed into arrows, and upon closer inspection, one could sense the power of these arrows, which could unleash attacks at the third level of Qi Refining.
The waiter said with some pride, "How about it? Isn't this magical artifact novel? It can not only be used to coax girls, but also to scare away thieves."
Wenwen's lips twitched slightly. Not wanting to discourage the waiter, she casually asked, "How many spirit stones does this magic artifact cost?"
The waiter chuckled and held up one finger, saying, "For Young Master Chu's sake, I'll give you twenty spirit stones. There's no profit to be made, just consider it making friends."
Wenwen: Thank you so much. I'd rather not have you as a friend.
This piece of junk can't even fool the two young girls in my family, Wenqing and Zhou Ruirui. And it has the audacity to try to fool girls. Does it think girls are so easy to fool?
"Uh, this is really not very lethal, let's just forget about it."
"You want something with high destructive power? We have that, just wait."
After a while, the waiter took out a storage bag from the inner room and activated his spiritual power.
A flying sword radiating purple light appeared before Wenwen's eyes.
"This is a top-grade first-tier flying sword, forged from extraterrestrial purple rock. It is said to be able to withstand a full-force attack from a Foundation Establishment cultivator and is invincible among those in the Qi Refining stage..."
"Hey, hey, hey, don't brag. I believe you if it's a full-force attack, but skip the last part. This is a relative of ours, you can't lie to people," Chu Xijian reminded Xiao Er.
The moment Wenwen saw the flying sword, she felt it was the perfect sword for her older sister. There was no particular reason; it was just a matter of first impressions.
"How much is this?" Wenwen asked.
The waiter said, "To be honest, it's a bit expensive, three hundred and fifty spirit stones."
After saying this, the waiter lowered his head, not daring to look at everyone. This price was inflated; he couldn't not make a profit, could he? Every business must aim to make a profit, otherwise, merchants would lose motivation.
"What the hell? Three hundred and fifty? Are you robbing me?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Chengbin strolled over from the other end of the shop, picked up the flying sword, and swung it twice.
"This thing is so light and flimsy, it's not easy to handle at all. Sister, this thing isn't worth this much at all. Forget it, we've seen enough. Let's go to another store."
"Well, uh, I don't have that many spirit stones, so let's forget about it," Wenwen said with a hint of regret.
"Then how much can you offer at most?" the waiter asked urgently.
He had finally met someone who liked the sword, and he was unwilling to let the deal slip away. The waiter hoped that Wenwen would negotiate the price.
In buying and selling, you make a price, I counter it. If we can reach an agreement, we continue; if not, we keep negotiating. We can always reach a price that satisfies both parties.
As the waiter waited eagerly, Wenwen spoke softly.
