You Sell All Kinds of Weapons Here Too?
The shopkeeper quickly led them to the courtyard; they had already paid.
The shopkeeper led them on a walk around the courtyard and said:
"We all have housekeepers here. This is your housekeeper. You can contact him if you have any needs."
Our house offers delivery service, cleaning service, and all sorts of other services.
"Your service is quite attentive, and why does this house feel so familiar to me?" The Jiang Lineage clan chief looked at the layout of the houses and felt something was off.
Suddenly, Jiang Ce said, "Dad, don't you think this house has a similar layout to our house?"
Upon closer inspection, the Jiang Lineage clan patriarch was so angry he stomped his feet.
"What do you mean 'almost the same'? This house has the same layout as ours."
"It's just that the house has been renovated, and the flowers and plants in the yard have changed."
He turned to the shopkeeper and asked, "Shopkeeper, where did this house come from?"
The shopkeeper said calmly:
"We have a dedicated construction team; they built all these houses."
Moreover, many of the houses they built were of this style.
You just think it looks familiar.
The Jiang Lineage clan patriarch looked at the house and asked, "Is this how it is?"
The shopkeeper nodded and said:
"That's really true; all the houses in Yanmen Pass are like this."
Besides, we build houses very quickly, so why would we need someone else's house?
Although the Jiang Lineage clan chief had questions, it was not convenient for him to ask more at the moment.
They quickly settled in, and Jiang Ce kept searching the house. Suddenly, he noticed a scratch on the beam.
He pointed to the scratch and said, "Dad, look what that is?"
The Jiang Lineage clan chief walked over and looked at it, saying, "A scratch?"
"Yes, when our house was first built, I made a scratch on this beam, and you beat me up black and blue for that scratch."
The Jiang Lineage clan chief also suddenly remembered. "You mean, this house belongs to us?"
Jiang Ce nodded and said, "Yes, that's right, Dad, let's report this to the authorities right away! These people are wicked!"
The Jiang Lineage clan chief frowned and said, "Going to report to the authorities now is definitely not an option; the government offices are all closed. Why don't we wait until tomorrow morning?"
The Black Shark Gang leader standing nearby said, "Yes, it's getting late. Why don't we grab some food first?"
He looked at the Jiang Lineage clan chief and said, "Judging from your appearance, even though there's nothing left on the island, you shouldn't be starving, right?"
The Jiang Lineage sighed and said:
"That's not necessarily the case. The Jiang Lineage does have some savings, more or less."
In fact, we have our own businesses in various places.
"It's just that this border region is too poor, so we never considered developing there at the time."
The leader of the Black Shark Gang said:
"I never expected the border region to develop so rapidly. If I had known, I would have bought some shops and acquired some estates here, and I would have made a fortune!"
When I first came here, this pass was in a state of disrepair. Everyone knows what Yanmen Pass was like!
The Jiang Lineage clan chief said:
"Let's not talk about Yanmen Pass now. The problem is that all of our Jiang Lineage's houses have appeared here."
Why did we get here? How did we get here?
Also, who brought this house here? We need an explanation!
The Black Shark Gang leader nodded and said, "Yes, tomorrow we'll go to the county government office at Yanmen Pass to report the theft of your house."
Jiang Ce looked at the scratch and said, "This scratch is the evidence. Let's go to sleep!"
The trees outside swayed their branches, seemingly muttering a silent complaint:
"Oh dear! I never expected there would be scratches on the beam."
It's alright, it's alright, we'll fix this up today.
These trees quickly replaced the main beam.
The next morning, the Jiang Lineage clan patriarch woke up and went to the steward, saying, "Bring us breakfast."
The butler responded:
"Our service is on a pay-first, then-service basis. What kind of breakfast would you like?"
We offer both light and deluxe breakfasts. Which would you prefer?
The butler took out the menu and handed it to Chief Jiang.
Chief Jiang looked at the menu, his lips twitching slightly. "You have so many set meals here?"
The Black Shark Gang leader looked at the seafood set meal and said, "Hey! Seafood for breakfast?! This seafood set meal costs five taels of silver? Are you robbing me?"
The butler quickly said, "You have no idea how delicious this seafood set meal is. You can order one to try."
"Give me one."
The leader of the Black Shark Gang immediately pulled out five taels of silver.
The steward took the money and quickly went to make the arrangements.
Abalone and shrimp cakes, scallop and seaweed shortbread, crab meat and multigrain pancakes, scallop and egg pancakes, oyster and vegetable pies, steamed sea cucumber cake, silverfish rice cake, baby cuttlefish buns, steamed sea urchin dumplings, abalone and scallop shumai, seaweed and multigrain cake, lobster rolls, abalone and scallop congee, oyster and scallop congee, coconut milk, and honey milk.
The Black Shark Gang leader said while eating:
"Is the food here really that good? Our island is practically a culinary desert!"
"If I get used to the food here, how am I supposed to survive back on the island?"
The butler smiled and said:
"After you finish eating, someone will come and clear the plates; you won't need to lift a finger."
We also offer other delivery services. If you need clothes, shoes, or daily necessities, you can place an order as usual.
The butler then pulled out the menu.
The Black Shark Gang leader looked at the clothes and said:
"These clothes of yours are way too expensive!"
An ordinary set of clothes costs one or two taels of silver, while an extraordinary set costs ten, twenty, or even one hundred taels.
Is this a shady business?
The butler quickly explained:
"These clothes are of very high quality. You can see that the material of the clothes is clearly stated on the label."
The clothes you mentioned, which cost 10 taels of silver, are made of tribute silk, which is very soft.
As for the clothes that cost 100 taels of silver, they were made of brocade with gold thread, lined with sable and fox fur, covered in gold and pearl embroidery, and adorned with gold and jade buttons.
The leader of the Black Shark Gang scoffed coldly:
"Hmph! I don't believe in any of that!"
I think this place is a rip-off, a place that specializes in ripping people off.
They're trying to sell me all sorts of things, but I'm not falling for their tricks.
He continued flipping through the menu, page by page.
Suddenly his pupils contracted and he said, "You also sell all sorts of weapons here?"
The butler introduced with a smile:
"Yes! Our family is famous for having a huge selection of weapons. You can take a look and see if there's anything you like."
Of course, there will be no mandatory spending throughout the entire process.
We don't allow any sales pitches in our house, but if you're interested, I can help you with some information.
The Black Shark Gang leader looked at a set of armor and said, "You sell this here too? How much does it cost?"
The butler glanced at it and said:
Third-class armor: thick padded studded armor, 4 taels of silver.
Second-class armor: lamellar armor, 12 taels of silver.
First-class armor: quenched cloth-faced iron armor, 80 taels of silver.
Premium Armor: Exquisitely crafted full-body iron armor, 100 taels of silver.
Imperial Gift Armor: Carved and gilded bronze armor, 120 taels of silver.
Of course, we also have premium quality products, but those are too expensive and won't be included here.
The Black Shark Gang leader swallowed hard. "Can I look first and then buy?"
The butler smiled and said, "Of course, which one do you need? I'll have someone bring it over right now. You can look at it before you buy it; there's absolutely no pressure to sell to you."
The Black Shark Gang leader nodded. "And weapons. I've got my eye on this carved crescent blade; it's so imposing. How much does it cost?"
The steward smiled faintly and said, "160 taels of silver."
"Bring them all over and let us take a look!"
The steward immediately ordered someone to make arrangements, Jiang Lineage clan chief looked at him and said, "Aren't we going to the county government office today? What should we buy now?"
