Chapter 118

As Guo Furong's voice fell.

A crumpled piece of rice paper was placed in front of Wanwan and Bai Qing.

On it were written various chores such as cleaning, cooking, chopping firewood, lighting the fire, folding quilts, washing clothes, etc.

Especially in the cooking column, a circle was drawn with a red pen.

Guo Furong explained: "Currently, we are most in need of cooks with excellent cooking skills; Mr. Su is very picky about food, and there is no upper limit for cooks—the more the better."

Bai Qing was directly angered into laughter.

"What kind of logic is this?"

"Mr. Su doesn't like to let servants do these chores, so he just lets the tenants do them?"

"What's the difference between tenants doing it and servants doing it?"

Bai Qing asked with her hands on her hips.

She started walking the Jianghu at the age of fourteen and has stayed in countless inns; this is the first time she has been asked for such a thing.

"I don't know about that."

"Mr. Su said this is about equality of human dignity or something."

"Anyway, these are all principles I've never heard of."

Guo Furong said helplessly.

Wanwan's beautiful eyes turned, and she said: "We are not suitable for doing these; would it be okay if we are willing to pay more rent?"

"No."

"Any tenant who stays in the Mountain and Sea Courtyard must be responsible for at least one chore."

"Mr. Su said this is called 'those who do not work shall not eat'."

Guo Furong said according to the script.

"Senior Sister, why don't we change to a Heaven-grade guest room."

"There is no reason to do chores when staying at an inn."

Bai Qing said angrily.

Seeing that the hooked fish was about to slip away, Guo Furong hurriedly stopped her and whispered:

"Two guests."

"These rules were all set by Mr. Su; I can only execute them accordingly."

"Although you have to do some chores if you stay in the Mountain and Sea Courtyard, the environment there is much better than the Heaven-grade guest rooms; there are mountains and water."

"In addition, I will reveal a secret to you: Palace Master Yao Yue and Palace Master Lian Xing live in the Mountain and Sea Courtyard."

Guo Furong also had no choice.

The rent for the Mountain and Sea Courtyard is too high, and you have to do chores every day; there are fundamentally no suckers to take the bait.

So far, not many rooms have been rented out.

And Su Chen doesn't let the shop's staff help with chores.

Resulting in all the chores in the Mountain and Sea Courtyard having to be done by Su Chen himself.

In Guo Furong's heart, Su Chen is handsome and dashing, rich in spirit and jade, and can even perform heaven-defying insights; he is simply an immortal-like figure.

She really couldn't bear to see such a figure personally doing housework. ===== CHAPTER 120 =====
