Chapter 168 Lottery for Accommodation
"Mo Yu, you go and handle this matter." Negotiation is the military advisor's strong point, so Si Yuan naturally handed this matter over to him.
When Mu Wan returned to Ruilan for the last time, she also prepared a mecha for Ouyang Moyu. He was the military advisor of the Yuanwei Army and a good friend of Si Yuan and Mu Yuheng.
She naturally treated Ouyang Moyu as her own.
"Okay, I'll leave now." He took the Black Tiger Order and the Space Button and set off.
"Mr. Si, you have a really nice friend!" He has talked to several people in the supermarket and the store in the past two days.
I also have some guesses about the relationship between these people.
This Young Master Ouyang seems to be a subordinate of Young Master Si, but the relationship between them seems more like friends, with deep trust and tacit understanding between them.
He had the best conversations with Master Ouyang these past two days. Master Ouyang had unique insights on how to regain power in the imperial court, which benefited him a lot.
If possible, I really want to ask Mr. Si if he is willing to give up and let Mr. Ouyang help him for a while.
........................
A few days later, the dozen or so officials from the border also arrived in Shiqiao Town.
When Mu Wanwan and Si Yuan went downstairs, they saw Xiang Qian'an sitting on a bench in the supermarket, surrounded by a group of officials who were discussing something.
Xiang Qian'an looked at them with a dilemma.
"Boss Mu, Mr. Si, I need to arrange accommodation for you." The sharp-eyed Master Wu saw the two and immediately came forward to greet them.
The emperor just told them that the two gods do not like to be called immortals.
"I also want."
"And I."
They had just applied for their membership cards, and Xiaoyou was originally responsible for entertaining them.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Qian'an personally applied for membership cards for them and even boasted about what he saw and heard in the supermarket in the past few days.
In fact, when they first arrived at the store, they were shocked by the generosity of the two gods.
There are several large glazed windows, and even the shop door is made of glazed glass.
The walls are white and I don't know what material they are made of.
And the floor looked like stone, but it had strange patterns on it and the surface was incredibly smooth.
I don’t know which master craftsman made it.
There is also an object called a lamp in the store. It can emit light without kerosene. It is amazing.
This is much more convenient than the candles and kerosene lamps they use!
The emperor also took them to have a meal in the restaurant in the store, and the dishes were also delicious.
Is this the life of a god?
When Xiang Qian'an saw the two of them, he quickly stood up and looked at Mu Wanwan and Si Yuan for help.
"They want to live here, but Miss Xiaoyou said there are not enough rooms, and now they are arguing about where to stay." He said helplessly.
They clamored for Xiang Qian'an to make the decision for them, and finally let him choose who could stay.
These people were his trusted ministers, and they never abandoned him even in the most difficult times.
He didn't want to hurt any minister's feelings.
There are only eight guest rooms on the second floor of the store, five double rooms and three single rooms.
Li's father and his family lived in two rooms, Xiang Qian'an lived in one, and the remaining rooms were indeed not enough for them.
Guests who have not checked in are not allowed to go to the second floor. They all want to stay because they just heard Xiang Qian'an say that the rooms in this shop are more comfortable than his bedroom in the palace.
The key point is that it’s only two hundred currencies a night. Who wouldn’t want to try treatment that exceeds that of an emperor?
The water temperature for bathing can be adjusted and the water supply is unlimited.
They had not bathed since the drought and were all dressed like beggars.
But in this world, everyone is like this and no one dislikes anyone else.
Seeing that his own emperor was dressed neatly, he felt a little ashamed of himself.
They really wanted to take a shower and change into clean clothes.
And the toilet that the emperor mentioned was said to be made of white jade.
It can automatically rinse clean after going to the toilet, so you don’t even have to get your hands dirty.
Some toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo and shower gel.
The ministers became even more jealous after hearing this and vied with each other to experience it.
Although they had never seen it, it sounded very advanced and was undoubtedly a world of difference compared to the simple facilities they had before.
"This shop can only extend stays for seven days at a time. You can draw lots to decide, and the others will wait in line." Si Yuan suggested.
There was no way around it. The third floor was their private area, and Si Yuan and Mu Wanwan didn't want too many outsiders entering.
"Then let's draw lots." Xiang Qian'an agreed to the proposal.
Drawing lots was the fairest way, and everyone nodded in agreement.
As for the results of the lottery, it was not Mu Wanwan and Si Yuan's concern. In the past few days, refugees have been coming to Shiqiao Town from other places.
They still have to greet new guests.
However, a special guest came to the store today. He was wearing tattered general's clothes and was followed by a group of people.
Huo Jun was originally going to the border to look for the emperor, and passed by the official road outside Shiqiao Town on the way.
Along the way, he saw many people from Shiqiao Town. Although they were a little thin, their spirits and clothes were much better than those in other places.
I also heard many people talking about gods and ways to cure the plague.
He originally thought that it was another liar who was defrauding the people of their money, but when he thought about it carefully, what was the use of the money now?
I can’t buy food or clothes, so how can there be any scammers nowadays?
When passing by an empty post station and planning to rest, I saw many refugees from outside the city rushing towards Shiqiao Town.
Huo Jun couldn't help his curiosity after all, so he stopped a resident of Shiqiao Town and asked him.
"What gods? Where are the gods?"
"The immortal opened a grocery store in our town, selling everything! The immortal also gave us medicine to treat the plague." The person who was pulled over was a little scared when he saw Huo Jun wearing a general's uniform, but he still told the truth.
Huo Jun frowned, not believing it at all. Who would open a shop nowadays?
A god? If there really were gods, how could they have the heart to send down natural disasters and watch their people suffer?
The people who were held back saw the expression on Huo Jun's face and thought he wanted to rob the immortal's shop.
After all, there are always some people with evil intentions in this world.
If they knew about the existence of the magical shop, they would definitely try to take it for themselves.
"I...I'm warning you, don't even think about harming the immortal's shop. Otherwise...if not, everyone in this town won't let you go!" The man nervously warned Huo Jun. Although he was afraid, the immortal had not only provided them with food and clothing, but also eradicated the plague.
No one should try to destroy this hard-earned tranquility.
"You misunderstood. I just want to see the grocery store run by the gods. Please show me the way." Huo Jun didn't expect that a commoner would dare to threaten him for a so-called "god".
I am really curious about the person behind this grocery store. What is he doing under the guise of being a god?
