64: Sakura Former Garden
Zhang Fan turned around and looked back, and there were two people standing not far behind him, one was the bald Xiong Zhibao, and the other was the unrestrained female Liu Mei.
"You take me up? Are you a member of the Samurai Order? Zhang Fan asked.
Xiong Zhibao hooked the waist of the unrestrained woman, walked in front of Zhang Fan, and said:
"I don't care who you are, the person you kicked out just now is a squad leader of the samurai regiment, and now someone above wants to see you, come with me."
Following Xiong Zhibao, Zhang Fan and Xiao Hibiscus came to a flying platform, got on a shuttle, and after getting out of the middle floor, they went straight up, and soon arrived at the roof of the building.
The roof of the building is very flat, Zhang Fan looked at the ground on the top floor, there are some intricate lines, which shows that under the flat roof, there are many lifting platforms, which are estimated to be some defensive weapons.
Walking to the center of the roof, there is a platform that is different from other places, slightly above the ground, and there is a small tree on the platform, dotted with a few red flowers, surrounded by a patch of grass and a few stones.
Walking to the bottom of the tree, Xiong Zhibao signaled to stop, and then the platform slowly sank, and after about half a minute, the platform stopped descending.
When you look up, you can see that there are trees and grass all around, and there is a babbling stream flowing in the meantime.
The flowers on the trees here are even more blooming, competing with each other, and as far as the eye can see, the eyes are full of red flowers and green grass.
I don't know where the wind blows, and the petals on the tree are rolled up and fluttering in the air, with a faint fragrance, which makes people feel refreshed.
The lift platform is just parked next to a rockery, and the grass on the ground fits the platform perfectly.
The scene here made Zhang Fan unexpected, he thought that the top floor should be a confidential place, heavily defended, and there should be people patrolling with weapons everywhere, but he didn't expect it to be such a paradise.
"Wow...... Brother, it's so beautiful here. Xiao Hibiscus grabbed Zhang Fan's robe and said.
"Well, what is this place?" Zhang Fan looked at Xiong Zhibao and asked.
Xiong Zhibao pointed to the rockery next to him, with three words on it, for Zhang Fan to see for himself.
"Sakura-koen?" Zhang Fan read it out as he watched.
"Yes, Sakura, the flowers here are called cherry blossoms." Xiong Zhibao said.
"Sakura...... Is the owner of this round a woman? Zhang Fan said.
Xiong Zhibao raised his hand and said:
"Let's go, you'll know when you see it."
After speaking, Xiong Zhibao asked the unrestrained girl to wait in place, leading the way in front, Zhang Fan and Xiao Hibiscus followed behind, and walked slowly on a path next to the stream in the cherry blossom forest.
As you walk, there are almost no traces of buildings on this floor, and the few load-bearing columns are disguised as rockeries or tree trunks.
Walking among the flowers, Zhang Fan almost forgot that he was at the top of a 300-story building.
In just three minutes, Xiong Zhibao brought the two to a fence wall.
A courtyard gate was built of wood and thatch in the fence wall, and through the courtyard gate, there was a path paved with cobblestones, and at the end of the path was an all-wooden bungalow.
With plain walls and windows with green tiles, the simple little house looks like it is in a painting in a field of cherry blossoms, which is really a good place.
"Let's go." Xiong Zhibao said, taking the lead and walking towards the house.
As soon as he walked into the house, Zhang Fan smelled a fragrance, which was different from the fragrance of the cherry blossoms outside, and this fragrance was stronger.
Xiong Zhibao opened a door and made a gesture of please, Zhang Fan walked in with the little hibiscus, Xiong Zhibao gently closed the door and did not come in.
Zhang Fan looked at the room, and there was a very low table in the center, with a few cups on it, and a pot of steaming water.
Next to the table, there was an old man with a white beard, who was not the hostess Zhang Fan imagined.
The old man was looking at Zhang Fan with a pleasant face, Zhang Fan also looked at him, and after watching for more than ten seconds, the old man spoke first:
"Don't look at it, if you look at the water again, it's boiled dry, come and sit."
Zhang Fan nodded and walked over. Although the old man said that he was sitting, there was no stool, so Zhang Fan sat cross-legged like the old man, and the little hibiscus also sat next to him.
"Old man, take the liberty of asking, who are you?" Zhang Fan said politely.
The old man didn't answer, but said with a smile:
"Come, drink tea first, I paid a lot of money to get this, and there are not many people in the galaxy who can drink this tea."
"Oh? What tea is so powerful? Zhang Fan asked in agreement.
"Da Hong Pao, have you heard of it?" The old man asked mysteriously.
Zhang Fan would be hell if he heard about it, so he had to shake his head, and the old man said:
"This tea has been a rare variety of rarities for hundreds of thousands of years, and there are only three tea trees on Earth in the whole galaxy, which are in the hands of clones."
The old man continued while making tea:
"I got ten grams of tea this time, guess how much it cost me?"
Zhang Fan continued to shake his head, the old man looked at it, smiled, stretched out two fingers, and handed Zhang Fan and Xiao Hibiscus a cup of tea to him with the other hand.
Hibiscus came in with a face towel wrapped around her, so she didn't bother to get the teacup.
Zhang Fan looked at the tea that was only half a cup, picked it up and smelled it, took a sip, and said:
"Two ...... Ten thousand? ”
"Twenty million."
Burst......
Zhang Fan squirted out a sip of tea, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and didn't spray on the old man's face.
"Tut-tut......"
The old man looked distressed and said:
"It's too wasteful for you to drink like this, these teas, a sip of tens of thousands of star coins, don't spray indiscriminately."
After speaking, he poured Zhang Fan a small half cup, Zhang Fan looked at it and said:
"Tea is indeed expensive, but you are too stingy to pour it like this."
"Huh? I gave you a big red robe to drink, and you still call me stingy? ”
"Can't you pour more? I'm going to drink it anyway. Zhang Fan said.
The old man took a sip of his tea, then closed his eyes and savored it. After a while, he opened his eyes, sighed, and said:
"Young man, you don't often drink tea, there are some things you don't understand, in addition to the preciousness of this tea, it also has a saying, called full of wine to entertain guests, tea full of deception."
"What do you mean?"
Youngster? Zhang Fan secretly thought to himself, is his fake beard not mature enough?
The old man took another sip and said:
"I don't know when there was such a saying, you can't pour a full cup of tea for guests, and it's rude to send guests when it's full."
Zhang Fan held a small cup, shook it and said:
"There is not much tea, and there are a lot of rules that are exquisite."
The old man laughed and said:
"Good tea taste slowly, next time if you have the opportunity to drink herbal tea, I will bring you a teapot to drink."
When Zhang Fan heard this, he could finally get the talk, and hurriedly said:
"Let's talk about it next time I have a chance, your tea is indeed too precious, it's a waste to drink it for me, tell me who you are, introduce it."
The old man put down the teacup in his hand, smiled and said:
"Okay, let me introduce myself, my name is Hideyoshi Mitsui, and I am the president of Mitsui Club."
Zhang Fan almost squirted out another sip of tea, and finally couldn't hold back, I thought that this old man was probably the head of a samurai regiment or something, but he didn't expect that he was directly the big boss, no wonder Ye could spend 20 million on buying ten grams of tea.
"You're the owner of Mitsui Kaisha?"
Mitsui Yingyi smiled and nodded, Zhang Fan looked at her, and then looked at the room, it was very simple and low-key, except for a table in the middle, a set of tea sets, an incense burner in the right corner, and a flower bed on the left, there was nothing else.
"Your way of life...... Do rich people live like this? Zhang Fan asked.
But I thought in my heart, when I returned to Sabre Star, I would make such a set myself, it would be too refreshing.
Hideyoshi Mitsui says:
"In fact, in ancient human times, only the poor lived like this."
"Poor? A poor man who built a garden on the top of a 300-story building and set up a table to drink tens of thousands of star coins? ”
"No, no, forget it, I'm away from you, let's introduce yourself, besides, this is not called a table, including where you sit, this set is called tatami mats, and also, take off your fake beard, you don't have the temperament of a chief at all."
Zhang Fan was stunned, no chieftain's temperament? Are you too dirty?
"How did you tell I had a fake beard?" Zhang Fan asked.
"I have lived for more than 400 years, and I still have this bit of eyesight, you are more like a person surnamed Zhang, say, who are you?" Hideyoshi Mitsui said.
"Someone with the surname Zhang?" Zhang Fan laughed dryly and said:
"You really have a good eye, then I won't hide it."
Zhang Fan took off his fake beard and said:
"My name is Zhang Fan."
Mitsui Yingyi laughed, picked up the teacup and took a sip of it himself, and motioned for Zhang Fan to drink it too, he said:
"When you were competing with Taro Yamamoto, I saw the surveillance, and I guessed it was you at that time."
"Taro Yamamoto? The one in the yellow robe? Zhang Fan asked.
"That's right, he's a captain of the samurai regiment. In terms of ability, he is much better than you, but there is an old saying that if you drop ten times with one force, your physical fitness will be too much stronger. ”
"Passing the prize." Zhang Fan took a sip of tea and said.
"There's a clone named Shunichi Kanda, you killed it." Hideyoshi Mitsui asked.
"That's right, I killed it, does it have anything to do with you?" Zhang Fan asked rhetorically.
Hideyoshi Mitsui shook his head and said:
"It has nothing to do with me, now that the Kanda family's revenge has been activated, your disguise like this today is too bad."
Zhang Fan smiled and said:
"Old man Mitsui, since we have talked about this, we will not say dark words, my head is worth five grams of tea, do you know this?"
Mitsui nodded with a smile and said:
"Of course I know, that's right, I'm also a member of the Octopus, the Mitsui Club is the legal asset of the Octopus in this area, I am the president, and I am also the president of the Presbyterian Church, and the reward document for you must be released through me."
Zhang Fan frowned and asked:
"Why are you bountying me? It can't be because I killed one of your members. ”
Mitsui was stunned for a moment and asked:
"Aside from today, when have you ever killed a member of the Octopus?"
