Chapter 340: The Garbage Dump of the Times
Five bottles?
Liu Yinjia rubbed his eyes and looked at it again.
He was sure that he had not read it wrongly, the message clearly stated that it was five bottles!
Why are there so many?
The ingredients of that kind of wine are precious, so under normal circumstances, one bottle is enough.
What level of treasure can be exchanged for five bottles?
How could a newcomer have that kind of thing?
Liu Yinjia couldn't believe it. He read the message over and over again and even checked the number that sent the message several times. It was indeed correct.
"Could I have pressed the wrong button?" He shook his head, knowing that this was impossible.
The tavern has always been efficient and accurate in its work, and mistakes are seldom made, especially when it comes to such a big matter.
It seems that there is only one possibility.
The value of the formula that the newcomer came up with was far beyond his imagination, which made the pharmacist very satisfied, so he gave him five bottles of fruit wine.
"A newcomer can actually get such a good thing. The circumstances in life are really important." Liu Yinjia sighed. He did not feel too strong spiritual energy fluctuations from Su Xia and thought that Su Xia was just lucky.
Hearing his sigh, Hu Hanhai and Liu Jinjia both raised their heads and looked at him.
Through his words, the two could judge the result.
Liu Jinjia also felt that it was not real and frowned: "Yinjia, is this news from the headquarters?"
Liu Yinjia immediately replied: "Yes, Master, the results are out there."
Liu Jinjia asked again: "Is the master satisfied?"
Liu Yinjia said: "He was quite satisfied. He even offered me five bottles of medicinal wine in exchange and asked me to increase the authority of the newcomer."
"Five bottles?"
Hearing this number, even Liu Jinjia was stunned and unconsciously put down the wine glass in his hand.
This number exceeded his expectations.
In fact, being able to make the deal was beyond his expectations.
As a level five creature, he has collected quite a few treasures over the years. If he wants to exchange them, he can take out those treasures and get a lot of medicinal liquor in return.
However, it is extremely difficult to exchange a single precious treasure for five bottles of medicinal wine.
That recipe...
Could it be some sixth-level formula that has not yet been circulated?
When he thought of this, even Liu Jinjia himself was a little surprised, but this seemed to be the only reasonable explanation.
Apart from this, other explanations are not very reasonable. That newcomer can't be the master's junior, right?
Hu Hanhai, who was standing next to him, smiled, nudged Liu Jinjia with his elbow, and said, "Did you see that? I said anything is possible."
"Old Hu, did you do this on purpose?" Liu Jinjia asked him in a deep voice.
"What do you mean?"
"You can clearly see how valuable that recipe is, and you're making fun of me, right?"
"How is that possible?" Hu Hanhai denied it flatly. "Those are five bottles of medicinal wine, with a total value of inestimable. If I really knew how precious the formula was, I would have used some ordinary treasures to exchange the formula with the newcomer, and then taken the formula to the master to exchange for a better potion..."
"Yes, you are capable of doing such a thing."
To be honest, if Liu Jinjia could have seen the value of the recipe in advance, he might have done the same thing.
The pub is a place where equal exchange is important.
But the "equivalence" here refers to the price that is equal in the hearts of both parties.
The newcomer named Liu Xing obviously didn't know the specific value of the formula, he only knew that it was very precious.
In the eyes of a new person, many things are precious.
Level five creatures like Hu Hanhai and Liu Jinjia can make newcomers' eyes light up with just anything they take out.
If they could determine the value of the formula in advance, and then discuss it with Su Xia, taking advantage of the information asymmetry between the two parties, it would not be impossible to exchange the formula.
It is common to exchange ordinary treasures for precious ones. It just depends on who has better vision.
In the tavern, once a deal is made, there is no going back.
"Master, please wait here. I will take the newcomer to get the things." Liu Yinjia said.
"Go ahead and bring him here."
"OK."
Liu Yinjia put away his phone, took the authorization card, and hurried to the depths of the corridor.
After he left, the bar returned to calm.
On the side, Afeng and Liu Tongjia looked at each other, joy appeared in their eyes, and they couldn't help but raise their glasses and clink them together.
Ding Dong!
The glasses collided, and the light golden wine swayed.
The two drank the wine in one gulp, and a warmth flowed down their throats, warming their whole bodies.
"Comfortable!" A Feng grinned happily, "Little Boss, I told you, my brother is fine, we made a lot of money this time."
"Keep your voice down and don't get carried away!" Liu Tongjia said hurriedly in a low voice.
He was also very happy in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it too obviously, after all, his master Liu Jinjia was right next to him.
If he showed his joy as much as Afeng, the master would probably think he was not steady enough.
Afeng also realized this immediately, put away his smile, and tried hard to recall some sad past events so that he could act more serious.
But Hu Hanhai on the other side smiled and said: "When life is good, you should enjoy it to the fullest. Young people should laugh if they want to. Don't hold it back."
Naturally, he said this to Afeng and Liu Tongjia.
The two of them immediately thanked him and smiled a little more at the right time, but they didn't smile too wildly.
Liu Jinjia suddenly asked, "When life is good, you should enjoy it to the fullest? That's a good saying. Did you come up with that, Old Hu?"
Hu Hanhai shook his head: "No, I heard it from an undead."
"The Undead..."
Liu Jinjia silently recited these three words and did not ask any more questions. His eyes drooped slightly, and no one knew what he was thinking.
And so, several people waited quietly.
Not long after, footsteps were heard in the corridor, and Liu Yinjia and Su Xia came back.
In Su Xia's hands, there were five bags of medium size, each containing a bottle of precious "Starry Sky Flowing Sound".
Each of these five bottles of medicinal wine could be sold at a sky-high price if put up for auction.
"Don't be so ostentatious. Don't show off your wealth." Liu Yinjia reminded him, "You can't fight inside the tavern, but outside the tavern, every one of your drinking buddies may become your secret enemy. Greed is rooted in everyone's heart."
"Well, thank you, manager."
Su Xia glanced at the five bags in her hand. She didn't think they were too ostentatious. They were just ordinary packaging bags.
This drink is so precious that most tavern members cannot tell what it is.
At this time, Hu Hanhai waved to him and asked with a smile: "Young man, how do you feel?"
Su Xia immediately replied: "It feels good."
"How about the master?"
"The master seemed to be in a good mood and talked to me for a long time."
"Oh? You're lucky!" Hu Hanhai didn't ask what they talked about as this involved the master's privacy. He just smiled and congratulated him.
It is indeed good luck when the master is in a good mood.
If he is in a bad mood, no matter how many treasures he takes out, the master may not even take a second look at them.
"I heard that you were planning to use this wine to propose marriage?" Liu Jinjia next to him asked.
"Yes, I'm proposing a marriage for my nephew." Su Xia answered truthfully.
"Is that so?"
Liu Jinjia's expression became more serious, and he actually asked the same question as the woman: "What is the woman's background? A top family in the north? A royal family in the western continent? Tell me, maybe I know her."
Su Xia replied: "It's a local family in Haima City, most likely ranked in the top fifteen in the entire city. The girl's father is the second in command of the intelligence department, and her uncle is..."
"never mind!"
Liu Jinjia suddenly interrupted Su Xia and put his hand on his forehead.
Families in a small city like Kaiba City were not the kind that could be guaranteed to make it into the top ten, and he really didn't want to waste time listening to their introductions.
For a small family like this, using such precious wine to propose marriage is simply a waste of resources .
Is there anything more wasteful in the world than this?
Hu Hanhai next to him asked Su Xia with a smile: "Did the master tell you how precious this wine is?"
Su Xia nodded: "I said it."
"Why do you still want to use it to propose marriage?"
"I think it's meaningful." Su Xia replied, "You can't judge whether you should do something based on its value alone, otherwise life will be boring."
"Well said!"
Hu Hanhai smiled and praised Su Xia very frankly.
He asked again: "When are you going to propose marriage? I've been bored these days, so I'd like to go for a walk with you to have some fun."
"Today at noon."
"Oh? That doesn't leave much time. There are still more than two hours left."
"Yes." Su Xia smiled, "We have just prepared the drinks, and we still have to prepare other things."
"What else?"
"The girl's mother likes to collect books. I want to find some precious ancient books."
"That's easy. I have a lot of them here." Hu Hanhai said with a smile, "Thousands of years of scriptures and works, etc. Just pick a few."
I didn’t realize that Hu Hanhai is actually a collector.
His enthusiasm saved Su Xia a lot of trouble, and it didn't take long for him to produce several ancient books that were thousands of years old.
During the years of war, many collections, museums, libraries, etc. collapsed, were covered by artillery fire, and disappeared in the dust of history. Countless classic ancient books also disappeared at any time, and many books were unique copies and were lost.
The ancient books that Hu Hanhai took out were all unique copies. It was rumored that they had been destroyed in the war long ago and were quite precious.
Su Xia said hurriedly: "Sir, I don't have anything good here."
"It's okay, I'll give it to you!" Hu Hanhai waved his hand generously, not caring about .
"How can this be possible?" Su Xia pretended to refuse.
"Take it quickly, don't waste time!"
Hu Hanhai didn't care. These things were just paper to him, not even treasures.
He is also an adventurous person and often goes to the wilderness to pan for gold in cities abandoned due to war. There are many people like him, and they are called treasure hunters, gold hunters, ruins collectors, etc.
Over the years, he has discovered more than one library in the ruins and found hundreds of precious books.
This is the inherent advantage brought by time.
Although Su Xia is equally powerful, he has only been a high-level psychic creature for too short a time. He runs around all day and has no time to enrich his own little treasure trove.
With his ability, he can always find good things by wandering around in abandoned places.
He didn't need to worry about wandering mercenaries in the wilderness, they could come and go freely.
" Thank you very much, sir." Su Xia accepted the books and said, "If you need anything in the future, you can call me anytime."
"OK."
Hu Hanhai didn't care much and responded casually.
With his strength, why would he need help from a newcomer like Su Xia?
Just like that, Su Xia had both wine and books.
There are still more than two hours, so there is plenty of time.
At this time, A Feng suddenly came over, looking embarrassed, and said to Su Xia: "Brother, isn't your nephew an orphan? How about I go with you to propose marriage, to strengthen my influence?"
"I'm going to propose marriage, not to fight..."
Su Xia stared at him speechlessly, knowing exactly what he was thinking.
This guy probably wanted to build a good relationship with Hu Hanhai, a level 5 creature, and become familiar with him on the road.
"Okay, come whenever you want. Today is a working day, you can take a leave yourself." Su Xia agreed.
"Hey, I have lots of requests for leave!"
Afeng rubbed his hands, extremely happy.
His thoughts were indeed the same as Su Xia's. He wanted to take the opportunity to talk more with the boss.
At this moment, Hu Hanhai suddenly said to Liu Jinjia, "Old Liu, it's boring to sit here all day without that masked man showing up. How about you go there too?"
"Can."
Liu Jinjia didn't think much about it and agreed directly.
If peers invite you, unless it’s a big deal, I basically won’t refuse.
At their level, they have very few friends.
Just like that... Two level five creatures actually wanted to propose marriage with Su Xia. It was a bit magical to think about it.
Liu Yinjia coughed lightly and said to his apprentice Liu Tongjia, "Tongjia, you should also follow the master and listen to the master's words on the way."
Liu Tongjia did not dare to disobey and immediately agreed: "Yes, Master."
So, the team of people proposing marriage was expanded by one more person.
At around ten o'clock in the morning, the group left the tavern.
Liu Yinjia called for two of the pub's professional cars for them, while he himself stayed in the pub to handle daily affairs.
Both cars were equipped with very professional drivers.
After everyone got in the car, Su Xia told the address.
The driver was quite familiar with the local area. After hearing the address, he smiled faintly and said, "Everyone, please take a seat."
After saying that, he started the engine. There was a humming sound, the car body vibrated, and the world outside the window began to rapidly recede.
The driver of the pub is different. He drives like a fighter jet and at an extremely fast speed. In less than half an hour, he took everyone to the outside of the third ring road in the east of the city.
Chu Feng and Ding Xiaowen, who had received the news, were already waiting by the roadside.
Chu Feng put on the formal suit that Su Xia bought for him and even got his hair done. He looked presentable, but the beads of sweat on his forehead still revealed his nervousness.
"Uncle is here."
He held Ding Xiaowen's hand, and both of their palms were sweaty.
Not only was he nervous, Ding Xiaowen was also nervous.
The girl didn't look as relaxed as she was last night, and there was a hint of worry on her pretty face.
When she saw Su Xia, she still tried her best to force a smile and said softly, "Uncle."
"Um."
Su Xia nodded, and just by looking at Ding Xiaowen's expression, he knew there was a problem.
Most of the problems still come from Ding Xiaowen's family.
Before he could ask, Hu Hanhai, Liu Jinjia and others came out one after another.
Seeing the strangers, Chu Feng was obviously stunned and asked, "Uncle, who are these people?"
"They are all my business partners." Su Xia introduced them with a smile, "This is your Uncle Hu, and this is Uncle Liu."
"Hello, uncles." Chu Feng immediately greeted them.
"Okay, he's a nice guy. Don't be too reserved. We're all family."
Hu Hanhai laughed and patted Chu Feng's thin shoulder without using much force.
Liu Jinjia said nothing, but just nodded slightly.
After a brief exchange of words, Afeng and Liu Tongjia both introduced themselves. They were both very young and could get along well with Chu Feng.
The situation that Chu Feng has to face may also be faced by them in the future, unless they fall in love with girls from ordinary families.
After chatting for a few more minutes, Su Xia took over the topic and asked Ding Xiaowen: "Why does Xiaowen look so bad? Is there any problem with your family?"
Ding Xiaowen nodded gently: "Uncle, there were a lot of phone calls from home just now..."
"Didn't you tell your father about it in the early morning?"
"It's not my father." Ding Xiaowen looked sad. "It's some elderly people in the family. They don't agree."
“I see…”
Su Xia pondered, the bad thing about a big family is that there are all kinds of monsters and demons.
Sometimes, those so-called relatives can’t provide you with any help at all, but instead become stumbling blocks in your life.
His roommate on the other side of the Earth has a deep understanding of this.
According to Li Defu, every year when he returns to his hometown during the Spring Festival and meets those annoying relatives, the only effect is not to enhance the relationship, but to make him feel upset.
At this time, Hu Hanhai next to him suddenly said: "Little girl, it's the era of free love. Don't care what your family says. Think about yourself."
Ding Xiaowen bit her lip: "But..."
"Don't be wronged for others." Hu Hanhai seems to be very experienced. "A moment of grievance and concession may turn into a lifetime of regret."
"But the elders in my family disagree."
"Just a bunch of old guys!"
Hu Hanhai snorted: "You are conservative and stubborn. You should have been swept into the garbage heap of the times long ago!"
