Chapter 22: How Much is Five Hundred Taels?

  Insufficient balance

  "How much is this, boss? And what about the cost of those three sets of earrings? Do you have any good headpieces? I want to buy a few!" Li Yunfei painfully pulled out his wallet, although he wasn't short on money at the moment, but thinking back to when he was struggling to make ends meet and had to put on a show just for that little salary, it pained him to spend this money!

  "Haha! Young master asked well! I'll go get it for you right away!" Because the boss had already figured out that Li Yunfei's identity was not ordinary, he tried his best to satisfy him. Who knows when he might need to trouble Li Yunfei again in the future? It would be good to have a familiar face then!

  "This boss seems to be very enthusiastic about you!" Little Chili blinked her big eyes, looking at the back of the store owner who was leaving, and couldn't help but size up Li Yunfei again, making herself keep it a secret. What's going on here?

  "I don't know about this either, from the beginning the boss has been so 'polite'!" Li Yunfei put special emphasis on "polite", and a small smile appeared on his face. Although he spent money painfully, being treated with such an attitude was really rare! Thinking back to when he used to spend money, every time he went out he would be looked down upon, and he could only force a bitter smile, looking at the sales clerks' white eyes, Li Yunfei always felt like he was fleeing in defeat.

  Now Li Yunfei is just a feeling, that's cool! Finally know what it means to be the customer is God, originally only people with money and status can enjoy it! Xiao La Jiao saw Li Yunfei's petty and triumphant appearance, couldn't help but curl his lips, where was there still a bit of prince-like demeanor? But isn't this kind of Li Yunfei easier to accept? Thinking back to when Li Yunfei was tricked by his own father, Xiao La Jiao couldn't help but smile from the heart.

  "It must be Brother Yunfei, born with a noble air! Let the shop owner feel like a noble person has arrived, where is the neglect?!" Li Qing Shu looked at Li Yun Fei's appearance, and his eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, his mouth slowly curved into an arc! Sometimes teasing friends can be quite fun, right?!

  "That's it! That's it! The Qing Shu brothers have a good eye for this image, this appearance! No matter where you look...". Originally, Li Yunfei was flattered by Li Qing Shu's praise and felt a sense of pride, becoming complacent.

  "Is that so, young master's book boy? You say so?" Li Qing Shu looked at Li Yun Fei's expression and the smile in his eyes grew thicker. When Li Yun Fei reached the crucial point, he suddenly took over the conversation, leaving Li Yun Fei stuck there, looking adorable, which made Xiao La Jiao and Li Qing Shu burst out laughing!

  "Hahaha...!" Xiao La Jiao was laughing so hard that she was shaking all over, while Li Qing Shu seemed to realize that he had lost his composure and quickly straightened up, covering his mouth to stifle a sneaky grin.

  "Ah!" Li Yunfei, reminded by Li Qing's words, couldn't help but think of the movie "The Scholar and the Beauty" starring Stephen Chow in his past life. In that film, Stephen Chow had portrayed a young book boy with great vividness, and it seemed that he himself shared some similarities with him! However, this was not the time to dwell on such thoughts. He gave the two a stern glance, and his eyes lit up as he saw the boss carefully holding a box. It looked like today's gift had arrived, but what could it be?

  "Sir, please take a look! This is our store's treasure, and since you have a good fate with us today, I'll sell it to you at a discount!" The shop owner carefully opened the box, and everyone was immediately drawn in by what was inside, especially Little Chili Pepper and Li Qingyu, who looked at the contents with hearts full of excitement, making Li Yunfei feel rather depressed.

  "What's going on? Xiao La Jiao is already like this, and if Qing Shu brother also shows such a gloomy expression, it's a bit too much! " Li Yunfei looked at the two of them and couldn't help but think to himself, "Boss! How much are these three phoenix hairpins, and what about this butterfly head ornament...?"

  Li Yunfei had originally thought of buying them and giving them to Xiaolian, but now being looked at by Xiao La Jiao and Li Qing Shu like this was really unbearable! "I say Xiao La Jiao, didn't you already buy so many things? And Qing Shu brother, what do you need these for as a grown man?" Li Yunfei said, feeling extremely uncomfortable under their gaze.

  "What's this? I don't want it! Can we just drop it now?" Little Chili stared at Li Yunfei with a burning gaze, looking like she would cry if he didn't give in, and returned all the packaged items to the store owner.

  "Brother Yunfei, didn't you know that there's a younger sister below? She really likes these things!..." Li Qing also stared at Li Yunfei and said, with an expression that made Li Yunfei shiver.

  "Whoa! Boss, package these into three portions and see how much they cost in total?" Li Yunfei took a deep breath and finally decided to splurge, he didn't know what would happen if the girl got angry, but it's best not to offend women whenever possible!

  "Haha! Young master, I'll give you a 20% discount, so it's a total of 500 taels of silver! What do you think...?" The shop owner saw Li Yunfei's slightly furrowed brow and immediately became serious - he couldn't let this gentleman be dissatisfied! "Or how about I throw in those things from earlier for free, no charge!"

  "Great! Now I don't have to give up these things!" Little Chili hastily hugged the big package in her arms, and this ending was simply too perfect!

  "Isn't this a bit too expensive?!" Li Qing also felt somewhat embarrassed, he hadn't expected these things to cost so much money, if only he had known earlier he wouldn't have bought them!

  "What is this, five hundred taels of silver worth?" Li Yunfei was not worried about the amount of money, but rather what these five hundred taels of silver were actually worth. To him, he really didn't know how ancient people measured wealth.

  "Hmm!..."

  "What?!"

  "No way!!!..."

  Three people stared at Li Yunfei with incredible faces, which made Li Yunfei feel embarrassed. He really didn't know what was wrong with that? The reactions of the three people determined their different attitudes. Xia La Jiao herself had no concept of money, so she just found it strange and didn't think much about it, besides, she already knew Li Yunfei's identity.

  Li Qing didn't expect Li Yunfei to come and buy things, but he didn't even know how much silver was worth, let alone what to buy. The shop owner thought even more deeply about it, this gentleman must be going out for the first time, otherwise how could he not know the value of money? It seems that this gentleman is also not someone who often uses money!
