Chapter 45: Slanter
"Forget it. It would be nice if I could meet it in the future. That's right, Earth Tiger. Where are you going to sell my blackscaled fish after you grab it?"
Wu Yue looked at the black-scaled fish behind him that had a tail that was not swinging its tail on its baggage and was still growing its mouth, and it seemed that it would be hanging up soon.
"Oh. We know a good restaurant. Live blackscaled fish can be sold there for 80 gold coins. We sell them there when we have blackfish. ”
"Can I take me there? If I can sell the fish, I'm willing to pay you a tenth of it." ”
"Really? You look at eight of them. That's 640 gold coins. Will you pay me 64 gold coins?"
"If you can sell it, you can pay for it. Anyway, if I don't have the money, I can catch it again. ”
"Really. Then hurry up. I'll memorize these. Think of it as a gift. ”
"Oh. Thank you so much. ”
In the end, Tuhu took Wu Yue to a very luxurious-looking hotel. Taste in the fairy. It's a bit weird that this kind of hotel name that seems to be in a martial arts novel will appear here, to be honest. And when some of the guests who came out saw the black-scaled fish behind the earth tiger, they all seemed to see monsters, and returned to their seats in the hotel again at a very fast speed.
Wu Yue stood at the door of the hotel and looked at this golden gate, and couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Everyone really likes to eat this black-scaled fish. Speaking of which, when the earth tiger was walking on the road with the black-scaled fish on his back, many people came over and said that they wanted to buy the black-scaled fish. However, the price can't be opened to 80 gold coins, although it is a little different from the 100 gold coins that Brother Xu said, but it is almost the same. Is this really that good when cooked?
"Sir, are you going to sell black-scaled fish?"
When Tuhu arrived at this luxurious hotel with the black-scaled fish on his back, no one stopped Tuhu and Wu Yue, two casually dressed people, from entering the hotel like this. A man in crisp overalls walked up to Tuhu and said with a professional smile. Speaking of which, it may be because of the heavy scales, this black-scaled fish has no fishy smell on its body, and maybe this is also the reason why everyone did not stop the earth tiger.
"Yes. We've already talked to your boss beforehand. Please tell your boss, I'm a Tuhu. ”
Tuhu said to the staff.
"Okay. Is this kid with you?"
"Yes. This is the one who is."
“”
Wu Yue kicked Tuhu. Hurriedly said to the staff with a smile.
"I'm in this together. Just want to see what's on the market. ”
"Okay. Please come with me. ”
The staff smiled and led Tuhu and Wu Yue to a room. It looks like a VIP room.
“”
Wu Yue looked at the room in astonishment. Really very beautiful room, the space in the room is much bigger than expected. And the whole room is paved with marble floors, and the red carpet is neatly planned. There is also a vase in the corner of the room, which is beautifully decorated with colorful and bright flowers. The decorative scroll hangs on the wall just right, and it looks like an oil painting. Anyway, are there oil paintings here?
It felt like the whole room was like a room in a big hotel now. The whole room almost got a large LCD color TV to hang on the wall.
"Please wait a moment. Wait a minute, our boss will come. ”
The staff smiled at the two and opened the door and went out. Let Wu Yue and Tuhu stay in the room with a bunch of fish.
"Why is this fish so popular? And so big that we sit here. And I see that there are a lot of people who originally planned to go out, but saw that you came in with the black-scaled fish and then came back, and it seems that you were planning to eat the fish. As for it? ”
After Wu Yue saw the staff go out, she sat on a chair and looked at the surrounding decorations and said strangely.
"And come to such a luxurious room. If we get the fish, it seems a little unreasonable to let us get out. In that case, there should be no need for us to come to such a luxurious room. ”
"Wu Yue, have you ever eaten a black-scaled fish?"
Tuhu put the black-scaled fish aside and said with a sigh of relief.
"Hmm. Because I was very hungry, I roasted it directly when I caught it. It tastes really good. But it doesn't seem to be to the point where people are so crazy. ”
Wu Yue touched the back of her head and said strangely.
"You use baked !!"
Tuhu suddenly approached Wu Yue and shouted frantically.
"Can't you?"
Wu Yue slapped the earth tiger away and asked.
"No, no. You're a terrible thing. That's a black-scaled fish! A slot that costs dozens of gold coins, you just roast it over the fire, smear it with some salt, and you're done with it! Do you know what waste is?"
"I think it's delicious to grill. ”
Wu Yue smiled bitterly and took a step back to avoid the earth tiger's saliva.
"Nonsense, the black scale fish is not unpalatable no matter how you do it. And as long as it is carefully cooked, the taste is absolutely the best of the best, and because the black scale fish itself is very difficult to find and difficult to catch, it is even more difficult to find. Even if we sell him 80 gold coins, he can sell two or three amethyst coins as long as he cooks them. It's a shame that you just roasted and ate it half-baked!"
"That's right. ”
Just as Tuhu finished speaking, a magnetic voice came from outside the door. The door suddenly opened, and a mild-mannered-looking young man and two staff members walked in.
The young man was dressed similarly to the thug just now, and he was also wearing a neat suit, but this suit was different from the thug just now. It seems to be more handsome and beautiful. It seems to be a high-quality product. And the young man looks only in his twenties, looks very handsome, and does not give people a nasty feeling like the gangster just now. This man has a very gentle temperament. This kind of temperament is something that ordinary people can't have, and only people with advanced education can have.
It seems that this is a veritable high-ranking person. But was he eavesdropping just now, it's a bad taste.
"It's a shame that the black-scaled fish is grilled. What should I call this young man?"
After the young man walked in, he looked at Wu Yue, put his right hand on his abdomen, and bowed slightly and said.
"His name is Srant, Srant Balor Stia. ”
"The name Ballotstia sounds familiar. ”
Wu Yue touched her chin and said thoughtfully. Suddenly remembering that the young man was still asking himself, he hurriedly said.
"Hello. My name is Wu Yue. ”
"Wu Yue, could it be said that she is a friend of Ai Lulu?"
After hearing Wu Yue say his name, Si Lante looked at Wu Yue questioningly and said.
"Ellulu's right!"
Wu Yue suddenly realized.
"Ellulu Balor Stia. In other words, you're a friend of Ellulu, aren't you, are you a brother?"
"That's right. I'm Ellulu's brother. Okay, now let's talk a little bit about the black-scaled fish. Earth Tiger, can you give us a look at the fish first?"
Si Lan looked at Wu Yue and said with a slight smile.
"Yes. ”
Earth Tiger struggled to put his backpack in front of Slanter. Unfastened the backpack. However, at the moment when he had just untied his backpack, one of the fish inside suddenly jumped out and rushed towards Sirant with its jagged mouth open.
Lying in the groove, back to the light.
As Slant looked at the fish rushing towards him with horror on his face, a hand suddenly appeared in front of Slant and grabbed the black-scaled fish.
Wu Yue jumped up and grabbed the body of the black scale fish, and the body spun around, forcibly changing the trajectory of the black scale fish, and threw it directly into the air. The black-scaled fish hit the ceiling under Wu Yue's throw, and then slowly fell down.
The black-scaled fish had no strength in the first place, and because of this impact, it no longer had any strength. Wu Yue didn't make any movement when he fell and was held in his hand, but he opened his mouth for a while.
"Thank you so much. ”
Silan looked at the black-scaled fish in Wu Yue's hand in shock. The rest of his life took a breath after the catastrophe.
"It seems that this fish is still as fierce as ever. ”
"It's best if you're okay. ”
Wu Yue smiled indifferently, looked at Sirant and said.
"This fish is really fierce. You must know that trees as thick as a person can be broken in one fell swoop. I'm very weak now, but if I get bitten, it's still bad. You have to be careful when handling this fish. ”
"Thank you very much. But then you can be sure. This terrifying life force can be sure that these are black-scaled fish, right. The rest of the fish just let us check it out. Wait a minute, we will pay in full for 80 gold coins for a black scaly fish. Is that okay?"
Sirant said with a slight smile.
"I don't know what you're going to do, though?"
After Wu Yue put the black-scaled fish in her hand into the package, she tied the package and handed it to the two people behind Sirant.
"This one is going to be heavy, please be careful. ”
"Got it. ”
The two of them grabbed the package one by one, but after Wu Yue let go, the bodies of the two people still shook slightly. And the eyes of the two of them were also full of surprise when they looked at Wu Yue. The corners of Sirant's mouth seemed to smile slightly when he saw the movements of the two people behind him.
"Silant, why did you go out of this way, is there any other kind of fish?"
After the staff left, Wu Yue looked at Sirant and said strangely.
"Not really. The black-scaled fish is a very special fish. That's it, so to speak. ”
Sirant shook his head slightly and said.
"But that's not to say you can't make it. ”
"Fish can also be made?"
Wu Yue's head was full of question marks. This seems to be a little different from my own three views. However, since this is a magical world, it should not be impossible for some strange things to happen.
"Wu Yue, Mr. Balor Stia is talking about manufacturing that uses artificial techniques to disguise ordinary fish as black-scaled fish. ”
Seeing Wu Yue's puzzled expression, Tuhu suddenly said helplessly.
"How?"
Wu Yue still didn't seem to understand what was going on. Is there any point in pretending to be a fish?
"You don't understand this Wu Yue. It's a shame to say. In fact, it is people like us, in order to be able to cheat some money, so sometimes we will deliberately buy some fish with teeth in their mouths, and then buy some scales of black-scaled fish. The scales are glued to the body of the fish and sold to a large restaurant. Because the scales of a black-scaled fish are five silver coins, and a fish tooth with a mouth is at most three or four silver coins, the cost of a gold coin can make a fake black-scaled fish, and then sell it to large restaurants, sometimes you can earn hundreds of gold coins at one time. ”
Tuhu touched his head and smiled embarrassedly.
"So for those large restaurants, in order to avoid being deceived, they will choose to check before buying the black scale fish. ”
"Dare to deceive those rich and powerful, do you think you are tired of living?"
Wu Yue said embarrassedly.
"That's why it's just the people of us who do it. When you're done, run as soon as you're done. Ahaha. But don't worry, Balor Stia and I will never deceive. He's a good guy, and I can't afford to change my personality because of my deception. ”
"First of all, you have to deceive success. ”
Wu Yue looked at Tuhu speechlessly. People will even check if they buy a fish, do you think you can fool people? If you can fool him casually, you don't have to sit in the current position.
"Boss. All inspections have been completed. All of them are black-scaled fish, and according to the freshness, they were just caught today. ”
The two workers who had just left came to Sirant's side again and whispered.
"Hmm. ”
Si Lan nodded, looked at Wu Yue again and said.
"Okay, we've confirmed. I'm sorry to suspect you, but we need to understand that this is a job. Now I'll pay you 640 gold. Do you have an amethyst card?"
"Amethyst card?"
It's like hearing another term that I haven't heard before.
"The Amethyst Card is a card that records gold coins. This card is usually used to enter and exit large places, and you can pay the bill directly by swiping the card...... It is also possible to go to the bank and use this amethyst card to withdraw gold coins. After all, hundreds of gold coins can't be carried around, it's very dangerous. ”
Tuhu shook his head and said.
"I didn't. ”
"Neither did I. ”
I haven't heard of it, how can I have. But isn't it just a bank card? What the hell is it talking about? Also amethyst card, it shouldn't really be made of amethyst. I've heard of amethyst in this world, it seems to be a purple crystal, I don't know if it's true.
"Then I'll do you a favor and help you get one. How are you two going to distribute the gold?"
"Half and half fine. That's it, I'm sorry for you. ”
Wu Yue said after thinking about it.
“”
Tuhu looked at Wu Yue a little strangely. After thinking about it for a while, I was relieved. Wu Yue Bacheng is prepared for his family. He should be able to withdraw the money to himself after he gets the card. But even if Wu Yue didn't give him money, he couldn't do anything, he didn't do anything after all. I can't beat the property.
"You go and arrange it. ”
Silant said to the two people behind him. The two men nodded, and left the room again.
"Then thank you for being able to give me such good ingredients, and thank you Wu Yue for taking care of my sister during this trip. Do you mind if I treat you to a meal?"
After the waiter left, Si Lante looked at Wu Yue and Tuhu and said with a smile.
"No need. Thanks for having me. I have a lot of things to do next. So I won't bother you. ”
Wu Yue smiled and waved her hand and said. I'm not interested in having someone I just met treat, and even though I'm Elulu's brother, I'm still embarrassed.
"I don't need to. Not used to it. ”
Tuhu also waved his hand embarrassedly and said. Wu Yue is not in him, and it is impossible for him to stay here with a thick skin, although it is common for gangsters to be cheeky, but Si Lante once helped Tu Hu once, so Tu Hu really can't be cheeky here at Si Lante, so he gave up.
"Well, in that case, I won't force you. ”
Silant also said unashamedly, speaking gently from beginning to end.
"Then please wait a minute. Wait a minute, the amethyst card will be ready. ”
"Okay. ”
Wu Yue looked at Sirant and couldn't help but ask in her heart.
"Karba, do you think this man will be a good person?"
"Didn't he say that he was the little girl's brother? ”
Karba still seemed to be speaking lazily.
"That's not the point, I think it's better to be a little more cautious. After all, Ellulu's family has that kind of mentality, and I don't think it's going to be a healthy family. ”
Wu Yue couldn't help but think of Ai Lulu's dead heart on the edge of the cliff again. At that time, I didn't hear Ellulu say why, and I didn't ask. So I don't know. However, Wu Yue still couldn't believe that family.
"Don't worry. The man in front of him had a very gentle feeling. A good guy indeed. You can get along with him seriously. is still so rich, and he is still the owner of this hotel, so he can be your long-term customer. ”
"But it's a little embarrassing to let an acquaintance's brother be a customer."
Although this man is very gentle, he also has a clear distinction between public and private. It can be seen from the attitude towards the black scale fish just now. He won't do anything partial to you just because you're your sister's friend, at most he will give you a few more gold coins. Do you want to find someone else who is not familiar with you at all to be your customer, and you don't know when you will be scammed. ”
"That's what I said"
Wu Yue scratched her face helplessly, it was indeed just like what Kalba said. If you let other big bosses be customers, with those old foxes, it's really hard to say how you will be deceived. No way. I feel a little embarrassed though.
"That, Mr. Slanter. ”
"What's the matter?"
"Well, if there is a black-scaled fish in the future, can I still bring it to you?"
"Yes. As long as the quality is guaranteed, I will accept all orders. ”
Slanter said with a smile.
"Thank you very much. That really helped me a lot. ”
Wu Yue said excitedly. In this way, the problem of money is roughly solved. Although I feel a little embarrassed to make money from my friends, I don't care. I'm making money based on my strength.
"Wu Yue, can I ask a question?"
After staring at Wu Yue for a while, Si Lante suddenly said.
"Yes. Excuse me. ”
"You caught all these black-scaled fish by yourself?"
"yes. It may seem like a hassle at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's easy. ”
"Do you have a trick to catching black-scaled fish?"
"It's simple. Put some blood on yourself in the water, and when the fish come, you can shake them to the shore and knock them out. Fish, no matter how good they are in the water, they can only jump around on the shore. I caught more than 20 of them at first, but there were only so many left because they were so delicious. ”
"More than twenty?"
After putting his finger on his chin and pondering for a moment, Silant looked at Wu Yue and said.
"Wu Yue, are you a ghost hand?"
"Yes. ”
"Don't worry about it that much. You already know about Serrari, don't you? It seems that only the Devil's Hand has that kind of strength. ”
Sirant said with a faint smile.
"So Wu Yue, did Ai Lulu smile during the journey?"
"Yes. And he was smiling a lot. Is there something wrong?"
Wu Yue felt a little strange. But it was immediately figured out. When I saw Ailulu for the first time, I looked like an iceberg beauty with an expression. It seems that the family is indeed a bit complicated.
"Happy? Thank you for your answer. ”
Slant had a reassuring smile on his face. At this time, the staff who had just left came to the room again, each holding a tray in their hands. Each tray has a purple crystal card.
I'm really amethyst. The real thing must not be cheap.
"Okay, the amethyst card for the two has been processed. Please take it. ”
Sirant stepped to the side, stretched out his right hand, and smiled as he motioned for the two to take it.
"No, this amethyst card is"
When Tuhu just wanted to explain something, Wu Yue had already stepped forward and picked up the amethyst card.
"Thank you, Mr. Slanter. ”
Wu Yue said with a smile holding a card in one hand. I don't know how valuable this thing is, but since it's all something that only upper-level people have, I guess it's hard to get it. It's really bothering others.
"You're welcome. ”
Silant said slowly with his spring-like smile. Speak without hurry, smile naturally, this kind of person seems to be really not the same kind of person as himself, is Ailulu's family really so different from his own family?
"Give. ”
After Wu Yue got the card, she walked up to Tuhu and handed him one.
"Huh?"
"Your reward. ”
Wu Yue said as a matter of course.
"But isn't my revenge 64 gold coins, but here are 320"
"Now that Mr. Slant has promised to accept my black-scaled fish for a long time, I don't have to worry about money. And it was because of you and I that I met Mr. Slanter. So thank you very much. There's no other way to express my gratitude now. ”
"Since you've said so, I'm welcome. ”
Tuhu touched the back of his head and said with an embarrassed smile. Stretched out his hand and took the card in Wu Yue's hand with some hesitation.
“”
Seeing that Tuhu had received the card, Wu Yue turned her head to look at Sirant. After hesitating for a long time, he said.
"Mr. Slanter, may I also ask a question? just ask. It doesn't matter if you don't answer. ”
"Yes. Please. ”
Sirant's attitude towards Wu Yue was a little strange, and he looked at Wu Yue questioningly and said.
"Ellulu, is there something going on with the family?"
Wu Yue said with some difficulty. At first, it was because I didn't want Ellulu to remember any unpleasant memories, so I chose to shut up. Now seeing Silante, Wu Yue still hopes to understand. A little girl's heart can be painful like that. I can't see it myself.
“”
Si Lante looked at Wu Yue with a somewhat calm expression. After thinking for a moment, he said to the staff in the back.
"Let's go down first. ”
"Yes. ”
The two of them nodded slightly and left the room, closing the door by the way.
"I'll go first. I still have a lot more to do. Now that I have money, I plan to pay off my debts, and then I have to find a serious job. I'm not going to sit around here anymore. ”
Tuhu touched his head and said with some embarrassment.
"Tuhu, you are a young man with hope, which is why I helped you in the first place. You can try to do chores with me. Just go find the two people who just left. As long as you do a good job, I will promote you in the future. ”
Sirant looked at Tuhu and said with a slight smile.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Balorstia. ”
Tuhu immediately bowed and said. Immediately walk to the door and open it.
"Then I went. Thank you, Mr. Balorstia, and thank you really Wu Yue. ”
Tuhu immediately closed the door, and he could still hear his loud howl of excitement in the hallway. But the next second seemed to be replaced by a louder accusation, and then there was the voice of the earth tiger apologetic again and again.
Is this product specially used to sell cute?
"Wu Yue, why did you ask that just now?"
After both of them were embarrassed, Sirant looked at Wu Yue and asked. He walked over to a chair next to him and sat down. Greeted Wu Yue and said.
"Please take a seat. ”
"Good. ”
Wu Yue sat on the chair opposite Silante, clasped her hands and pondered a little, and said.
"Ellulu, it seems that she once had thoughts of suicide. ”
"What! Ellulu? What the hell did she do?"
After hearing Wu Yue's words, Silante immediately stood up in surprise, grabbed Wu Yue's shoulders and said excitedly.
"Calm down, calm down. ”
Wu Yue's two eyes completely turned into a swirl and said. Big brother, you shake too fast, I want to vomit.
"Oh? I'm sorry. ”
Only then did Slanter notice his gaffe, take a step back and say apologetically. Sitting on the chair, he looked at Wu Yue and said.
"Can you please explain what happened?"
"Didn't Serari say anything?"
Wu Yue said strangely. Didn't Serari, as a butler, explain the need for the trip?
"I'm always busy with work. On this trip, I only heard from my subordinates that Ai Lulu seems to have made a friend of the same age named Wu Yue during the trip. At the same time, I also met friends such as Baby Xuxu, Gun Soul Bingzi and Sword Soul. I didn't know much about the rest of the travel either. Unexpectedly, Ailulu would commit suicide. ”
"It seems that this should be the reason for her suicide. ”
Wu Yue said embarrassedly. 1510 detailed what happened when he met Ellulu, as well as what happened afterward
