Four thousand? My cost price for this wine is actually only three thousand five, and that includes transportation costs.
“If you buy it in the Land of Lightning, it will indeed only cost four thousand taels, and even in some ordinary places in Konoha, this wine will only sell for six thousand taels at most. But in this West Sea Bar, it is worth this price.”
"Everyone who comes to Xihai Bar pays this price for this bottle of wine."
A charming and alluring young woman's voice rang out at the door. She wore a slit cheongsam that perfectly showcased her curvaceous figure, exuding the aura of a noble and beautiful young woman.
She walked to Uchiha Sō's side, looked down and smiled at Yugito.
She is indeed a rare beauty; no wonder Xiang Jun cherishes her.
Then, she raised her hand to signal everyone to observe the decoration details of the private room and the lobby.
"Look at the decor here. I hired a professional designer from the Land of Snow. The luxurious chandelier, entirely carved from crystal, costs 100,000 taels; the top-grade white marble flooring costs 4,000 taels per square meter; the four-seater sofa and coffee table are handcrafted from raw wood, a specialty of the Land of Earth, costing 80,000 taels per set..."
"Even the toilets were custom-made in the Land of Snow, starting at ten thousand taels!"
"The renovation cost of just one private room starts at one million taels. If you add in labor, water and electricity, operation, cleaning, etc., the total cost of my West Sea Bar will be close to one hundred million taels."
"Even the royal palaces of the five great kingdoms are not as luxurious as mine."
"I've built the most luxurious entertainment venue in the ninja world, so it's only right that the drinks are a bit pricey?"
"If you think it's too expensive, you don't have to order it. The menu has clear prices. Singing and room fees alone won't cost much."
How many?
A cost of 100 million taels?
The two men carefully calculated that if everything the woman quoted was correct, then this would be about the right price.
However, the annual income of a Jonin in Kumogakure is only a little over one million ryo. In other words, just building this place would require the annual income of nearly one hundred Jonin in Kumogakure. Does Kumogakure have that many Jonin?
Even if the female boss's price is slightly different, it's not a big problem, because this is truly the most luxurious place the two Yukito have ever seen.
It truly deserves its reputation as the world's most luxurious shopping destination!
Therefore, it's understandable that people would choose to spend money here, even if the "ordinary" drinks are "a bit more expensive".
After all, big-spending customers who can afford to come here care about face. If you sell to them too cheaply, they'll feel like you're looking down on them.
What level are they? Are they at the same spending level as us?
The owner wasn't raising the private room fee too high, which is already very considerate.
The two Yukito are not unreasonable people; they do business to make money.
It couldn't possibly be for "charity"!
Even so, the price, which was more than six times higher, was still too high for Yukito to accept.
But as the beautiful, wine-red-haired owner said, the menu has prices, and you don't have to order if you think it's too expensive.
So, where did the problem lie?
The two wooden figures calmed down and turned to ask questions in a peaceful manner.
Who ordered the drinks just now?
"it's me."
Behind him, a young male ninja from Kumogakure raised his hand somewhat guiltily.
"This is my first time in a place like this, and I was a little excited. I didn't look at the prices carefully, and besides, I ordered drinks from the Land of Lightning that I'm familiar with. I thought the most expensive ones wouldn't be too much, and I should be able to afford them..."
You haven't seen enough of the world!
Immediately, the two wooden figures were so embarrassed that they could dig three rooms and a living room out of the ground with their feet, their delicate white toes sticking out of their ninja sandals curling up.
She had been arguing so vehemently, thinking that Uchiha Sho, the "referee," was blowing the whistle unfairly, but in the end, it turned out that it was one of her own people who hadn't checked the price when buying things.
"The situation is already quite clear."
Uchiha Sho took the bill from Uzumaki Kazuko beside him, glanced at it, and then slammed it on the table.
"The total cost is 206,000. Since you are guests from the village, I will round it down for you."
"Who will settle the remaining 200,000?"
"Fortunately, you didn't break anything. I've also asked Boss Hezi to waive your lost wages. I've already gone to this extent, isn't that fair and just enough?"
"If you can't even afford this, then we'll have to invite you to sit down at the garrison headquarters."
Go to the Konoha Police Department?
That's absolutely unacceptable. We came here to negotiate, and if the Konoha Police Department detains us because of this, how can we continue negotiating?
The Cloud Village delegation, including the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, was detained by the Konoha Police Force for not being able to pay for his drinks in Konoha. It would be incredibly embarrassing if word got out that this happened!
The two men took out their wallets from their pockets and carefully counted the money.
"I have less than 50,000 taels here. How much do you have?"
"Forty thousand taels."
"A little over thirty thousand taels."
The three of them put their money together and realized they only had 120,000 taels of silver, which was 80,000 taels short. They looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.
Carrying 40,000 to 50,000 taels with you when you go out is already considered a wealthy person in the ninja world.
In Konoha, the largest village in the ninja world, the total monthly expenses for a family of three would not exceed 15,000 ryo.
This is still Konoha; the cost of living is even lower in other parts of the ninja world.
The two Yugitos and their companions carried 40,000 to 50,000 yen with them, which would normally be enough for them to travel freely in Konoha.
However, their biggest mistake was that after the Uchiha Elephant Guard reform, they allowed the Heavenly Court's Commerce Department to open a top-tier entertainment venue in Konoha specifically for nobles and wealthy merchants from various countries.
This West Sea Bar, personally managed by Kazuko Uzumaki, is her masterpiece that brings together the best of Kusagakure's consumer culture.
The main selling point is luxury and high-end style, which encourages people to spend money.
The slogan is: Here, you can enjoy the unique customs and cultures of five different countries at the same time, whenever you want.
Furthermore, adhering to the "preference" of those aristocrats and wealthy merchants who only buy expensive items, not necessarily the right ones, the consumption levels there are naturally outrageously high.
Chapter 48, Taking Advantage of Others' Misfortune: A Cunning Elephant
It can only be said that the Cloud Hidden Earth Leopard is clearly ignorant and doesn't understand the extravagance of those nobles and wealthy merchants.
Today, I've finally caught a glimpse of a corner of the "Heavenly Palace"!
The cost of one night is equivalent to, or even more than, the annual budget of an average family.
"Not enough money?"
Kazuko Uzumaki lightly covered her face with her paper fan, revealing a smile like a fox stealing a chicken. She turned to the two wooden figures, her true intentions revealed, and spoke softly.
"How about this, I won't let Minister Xiang detain you anymore. You can stay and work to pay off your debts."
"I will release them when you have raised the money."
"By the way, the income here is very high. You might receive enough tips in one night to not only pay off your debts, but also make a fortune, hehehe!"
The fox-like, devilish laughter sent chills down the spines of the two Yukito.
After hesitating for a while, she thought that at worst she could just give up at the bar, and no one in Konoha would dare to lay a hand on her.
Worried that Tsuchida might restrict her travel in the future because of this incident, the two Yugito nodded in agreement.
He even carefully instructed the two minor characters from the Hidden Cloud Village not to tell anyone about this.
At the same time, they arranged for them to borrow money as soon as possible so that they could take her out as soon as possible.
"Hey! Don't worry, Lord Yugito, we'll go borrow the money right now!"
The Cloud Village ninja said firmly, then turned and quickly left.
The moment the wooden door closed gently, Uchiha Sho made a gesture behind his back with his fingertips.
Uchiha Igaku, who was waiting in the shadows, understood immediately. The wind created by his Body Flicker Technique lifted the tassels hanging from the crystal chandelier.
The two Cloud Village ninjas who went to arrange for people to delay their departure found the other Cloud Village delegation members, so that Uchiha Sō could take the opportunity to achieve his goal.
He teased the two Yugito and made the Ten-Tails' cells absorb enough of the Two-Tails Matatabi's chakra.
The opportunity to absorb enough tailed beast chakra is very rare.
After all, Jinchuriki are usually strategic weapons of the five great ninja villages, and it is rare for them to be "alone".
"Miss Yukito, please come with me."
Kazuko Uzumaki unfolded her sandalwood folding fan, and peonies embroidered with gold thread swayed in the lamplight.
"Mr. Xiang specially reserved the number one private room—"
"Who wants to be alone with this weirdo!"
The two figures have three stray hairs sticking up from the ends of their wooden braids, resembling cats whose tails have been stepped on.
She turned to push open the window, only to find that the entire floor-to-ceiling window was covered with dark red barrier patterns.
Haha, what an adorable little kitten, you can't escape!
Uchiha Ei leaned against the jade screen at the entrance, twirling a glass filled with amber-colored liquor in his hand.
"You don't want the news of the Cloud Village envoy skipping out on his bill in Konoha to end up on the Third Raikage's desk tomorrow, do you?"
"you……"
Blue chakra burst forth from the fingertips of the wooden figure, but it was abruptly stopped when he caught sight of Kazuko Uzumaki's smiling face.
She bit her lower lip and turned around, the tips of her ears turning a coral color.
"lead the way."
The redwood corridor was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood. As whirlpool and Kazuko pushed open the carved door with their fan ribs...
The Two-Tails Jinchuriki's pupils suddenly contracted—the entire wall was made of mirrored glass, reflecting her face, still flushed.
The snow-silk curtains hanging from the ceiling swayed gently in the air conditioning breeze, stirring a slight shiver when they brushed against the bare shoulders of the wooden dummy.
"Please change your clothes."
Kazuko Uzumaki pulled open the gilded wardrobe, and the twelve-layered kimono shimmered like moonlight under the lamplight.
