When all the dishes were served, the shopkeeper sat beside Zhang Xing and enthusiastically filled his cup with wine. He toasted this young master who seemed to be a noble and then began to talk about the glorious history of Green Jade Town.
Green Jade Town produced jade, which made the nobles rich and the commoners poor.
The two wealthiest families, the Abel family and the Abner family, each owned half of the jade mine.
It was also because of this mine that the two families fought for seventy to eighty years. In the end, the more they fought, the richer they got, while the other people in the town got poorer.
Especially in the last ten years, Green Jade Town had been ruined to the point that it was worse than a village.
The Redbud City originally had an acting city lord who accepted benefits from the two families and left it alone.
The current city lord was said to be a very capable young man, but he handed the city over to his subordinates and didn't care about anything else.
The shopkeeper sighed and said, "The city lord is a man who does great things. I just heard that he destroyed a third-class empire. Tsk tsk!
Amazing!
Two city lords, one is busy eating, drinking, and plundering the commoners, while the other is busy conquering the world. They don't care about us merchants and commoners. Sigh! "
The dozen or so people who were eating happily at the side were embarrassed and didn't want to eat.
They vaguely guessed the purpose of the city lord's visit, but it had nothing to do with them.
The city lord's office only needed to collect taxes and didn't care about the development of the towns below.
"Shopkeeper Yago, you're nagging about the two families with outsiders again. Be careful not to let them hear you and smash your restaurant again."
A person dressed like a herb merchant laughed.
"Hmph!
I still have to pay after smashing it. They won't dare to do anything to me! "
The shopkeeper sneered.
"They won't dare to do anything to you, but that was in the past. Now that your relative is no longer working in the city lord's office, they won't be polite to you."
The herb merchant shook his head.
"They dare!
Let them smash it for me to see! "
"Yo!
Yago, you sure talk big. My Abel family will smash it for everyone to see. Call your cousin who feeds the horses here! "
Just as the shopkeeper finished bragging, a group of people came in from the entrance of the restaurant. The one who spoke was a young man around twenty years old.
"Young Master Abner!"
"Young Master Abner!"
The few people eating at the side changed their expressions and stood up to greet him in fear.
Shopkeeper Yalgo's eyes were also filled with panic.
"Why don't you try? My cousin isn't going to feed the horses. He's going to feed the dragons in the Battle Dragon Legion. He's going there to serve the dragons!"
"Hahaha!"
Master Brenner and the attendants behind him laughed.
"Your cousin is just a squad leader. What right does he have to feed a dragon?"
"In the past, I gave your cousin face. Now that your cousin has lost face, let's settle the old and new debts together."
"Make up for the taxes you owe!"
Young Master Bu Na said with a look of disdain.
"Tax money?
When did I owe taxes?
Didn't you already pay up? "
Shopkeeper Argo said with a dumbfounded expression.
"Tsk!
If your cousin is still a squad leader, then he doesn't owe you anything. If he doesn't, then he owes you, idiot! "
The attendant behind Buna sneered.
Perhaps he couldn't say it so directly in a big city, but in the countryside, it was so straightforward.
"You …"
Manager Yalgo was so angry that his face turned red.
People were just that realistic. When you had no value, you would be despised like dog poop.
"How much do you want?"
Manager Yalgo had no choice but to lower his head.
"It's not even enough to compensate for the entire restaurant!"
Buna said mockingly.
The location of this restaurant was in the middle of the town's main street. Buna had his eyes on it long ago, but after smashing it once, he was told by his family that Manager Yalgo had someone above him and couldn't be provoked. In the end, he had to apologize and compensate.
Now, Manager Yalgo's cousin was said to have been removed from his position. Whether he was going to wash or feed the horses, he didn't know.
Anyway, he wasn't an official anymore. What was there to worry about?
He would snatch the restaurant first.
