Chapter 64

Wanting to know when this little Daoist priest who rides a cow backward will be able to ride a crane down to Jiangnan.

As for the anticipation for the casual talk, there was even more.

The first is whether Shan Zheng will return in five days and be able to bring back Huang Shang’s imperial official records.

Although most people had already been convinced by Su Chen’s divine deduction of heavenly secrets.

But after all, the matter of Huang Shang was truly too unbelievable.

Many people were full of anticipation for Shan Zheng’s evidence.

If it were truly as Su Chen said, that the scholar Huang Shang read until he became a Martial Emperor, then this Jianghu would be lively.

The second is the Rouge List sub-list that is about to be released.

Although this anticipation is not as great as the Rouge List main list.

But if one could enter the ranks of the top twenty beauties in the world, it would still be a special honor.

Stories of talented scholars and beautiful women in the Jianghu are enduring.

Naturally, there will be a large number of people interested in this Rouge List sub-list.

The third is what Su Chen said at the end about providing a commentary on the many sword experts of the Great Ming.

With Su Chen’s current prestige in the Jianghu, his commentary is absolutely full of weight.

It is no exaggeration to call it the overture to the [Sword God List].

It can almost be predicted that a large number of swordsmen will visit for the next casual talk.

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened.

The people in the main hall also dispersed one after another.

Because they had to come back to listen to the story in five days, many people simply stayed in Qixia Town.

Those without money went to nearby homestays.

Those with money went directly to the fourth floor of Tongfu Inn with their families.

"Attention, guests who are staying over."

"The guest rooms on the fourth floor are divided into four grades: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow; the specific prices are already marked on the sign."

"You can choose your rooms according to your financial means."

"By the way."

"Besides these four grades of rooms, there is also a Mountain and Sea Courtyard."

"That is Mr. Su’s residence; there are still some empty rooms inside where you can stay."

"But the price is several times that of the Heaven-grade rooms."

"Mr. Su also said that if one has exquisite culinary skills, part of the rent can be waived."

Behind the counter at the entrance of the fourth floor, Tong Tong Xiangyu introduced it to everyone with a smile.

The guest room area of this new Tongfu Inn is much larger than the original one, and the environment is also better.

Naturally, the price has also risen with the tide.

"Exquisite culinary skills, can waive part of the rent?"

"This Su Chen really has a good plan."

"He is clearly trying to save money and hire a cook for free!"

Bai Bai Qinger said with an expression of having seen through Su Chen’s intentions.

Seeing Wanwan smiled slightly and said softly: "Give me a room in the Mountain and Sea Courtyard."

"Are two people staying?"

"How are your culinary skills?"

Guo Guo Furong asked while registering for her.

Seeing Wanwan and Bai Bai Qinger looked at each other and shook their heads.

As disciples of the Demonic Empress Zhu Zhu Yuyan, they are proficient in various unique skills, but culinary arts are not included.

"Then are you willing to do cleaning?"

Guo Guo Furong asked again.

This time, even a few black lines appeared on Seeing Wanwan’s face.

Does this Su Chen not only want tenants to cook for him for free, but also wants tenants to clean for him?

Guo Guo Furong saw Seeing Wanwan’s thoughts and explained:

"Mr. Su likes the feeling of home."

"So he doesn’t want the shop’s staff to help with chores like meals and cleaning."

"If you don’t want to clean, you can also be responsible for laundry, chopping wood, lighting fires, and other such work."

"I have a chore statistics table here; you can see which one is suitable for you."

As Guo Guo Furong’s voice fell.

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

On it were written various chores such as cleaning, cooking, chopping wood, lighting fires, folding quilts, doing laundry, and so on.

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

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

Bai Bai Qinger 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 it?"

"What is the difference between tenants doing it and servants doing it?"

Bai Bai Qinger 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 requirement.

"I’m not clear about that."

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

"Anyway, they are all principles I’ve never heard of."

Guo Guo Furong said with some helplessness.

Seeing Wanwan’s beautiful eyes turned, and she said: "We are not suitable for doing these; would it be okay if we add some more rent?"

"No."

"All tenants staying 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 Guo Furong said according to the script.

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

"There is no logic in having to do chores when staying at an inn."

Bai Bai Qinger said poutingly.

Seeing that the fish on the hook was about to slip away, Guo 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 to 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 Yao Yue and Palace Master Chi Lian Xing are staying in the Mountain and Sea Courtyard."

Guo Guo Furong had no choice.

The rent for the Mountain and Sea Courtyard is too high, and one has to do chores daily; there were no suckers to be fooled.

So far, not many rooms have been rented out.

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

Resulting in Su Chen having to do all the chores in the Mountain and Sea Courtyard himself.

In Guo Guo Furong’s heart, Su Chen is handsome and dashing, with a jade-like demeanor, and can even deduce heavenly secrets; he is simply a god-like figure.

She really couldn’t bear to see such a figure doing housework himself.
