Worry-free didn't even know what the fat man's name was, so he couldn't help asking, "What do you call you?"

The fat man replied with a smile: "My name is Cai Jiu! You can call me Jiu Fat or Lao Jiu." ”

They all said that they didn't hit smiling people, and the fat man was actually a good person along the way, and he said sincerely: "Cai Jiu, it's nice to meet you! ”

"It should be, it should be. We will be brothers in the future!" Cai Jiu was really happy, he really wanted to make this friend with Wuwu.

Worry-free, I didn't expect him to call himself a brother as soon as he came up. But then he thought: "Anyway, there is no harm in making more friends, not to mention that the other party is not bad, he is still a rich son, and he can't lose himself." ”

Worry-free was a little curious about the origin of the name Cai Jiu: "Are you the ninth among the brothers and sisters in the family?"

Cai Jiu scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Actually, I only have one sister. As for why there is a nine-character character in the name, it is because...... That one...... It's kind of hilarious to say it.

I used to eat nine dishes at every meal, so my companions called me Brother Jiu or Lao Jiu, and my followers called me Master Jiu. I'll just change my name to Cai Jiu. ”

Carefree asked with a puzzled face, "Then why did you change your name?"

Then he laughed and teased: "And change such a cheesy name, then why don't you just call it Nine Dishes, the meaning of Nine Dishes!"

Cai Jiu smiled awkwardly: "Brother, you guessed it right, they all call me Jiucai behind their backs." As for the previous name, I still won't talk about it, and I won't mention the past. ”

Wu Wu didn't know what Cai Jiu had in the sad past, and he didn't want to explore the other party's privacy.

Cai Jiu asked, "Worry-free, what are your plans?"

"What are you going to do?" Carefree didn't understand what he meant for a while, and replied casually, "Wait here! ”

"I mean, in case you don't get admitted, are you going to spend money on a tribute cultivation spot?" Cai Jiu asked.

Cai Jiu's spiritual root was already the worst five-grade spiritual root. His goal now is that no matter how expensive the tribute cultivation quota is, he is ready to spend money to buy one, and he is determined to get it.

Wuwu shook his head and said, "I don't have the money to buy a tribute cultivation quota!"

He explained: "I'm just alone, who will give me money to buy tribute cultivation quotas!"

Cai Jiu finally understood the worry-free situation, and said without thinking about it: "Otherwise, I will help you out of your share of the money to buy the tribute cultivation quota." ”

"Do you know how much it costs?" asked Sanssouci in surprise, he didn't expect the fat man to be so generous.

He continued: "I asked Steward Chen just now, according to the market in previous years, a tribute cultivation quota will cost 100,000 silver taels!"

Cai Jiu said disdainfully: "Isn't it just 100,000 silver taels! No problem, it's wrapped up in me!"

Wu Wu was a little puzzled, such a large sum of money is nothing, the key is why Cai Jiu should be so good to him? He looked at Cai Jiu's eyes and asked, "Then you tell me, why are you so generous to me?" I can tell, one, don't give me usury, two, I don't have the money to pay you back. ”

Cai Jiu replied indifferently: "Look at you nervous like that." Do I look like the kind of person who cheats my brothers? I just feel that I fell in love with you, and I felt like I was at first sight, and along the way, you talked to me the most. I treat you like a brother, and this little money is really nothing. ”

Wu Wu heard the sincerity in the other party's words, and he said gratefully: "Thank you! Just say this to you, I have made up my mind for your brother! But in case I am rejected, I still have a special way to enter the Chaoxi Sect." In case, if that way doesn't work, you can help me pay for the tribute. ”

Cai Jiu agreed: "Okay, that's it." You go and try your method first, if it doesn't work, there is still time to compete for the tribute cultivation spot. ”

The two of them became brothers when they came up, and it was the same thing to subsidize 100,000 taels of silver for free at every turn, which could make others envious. Especially those people who are in the same team of 100 people as Carefree, they still disliked this dead fat man before, and almost no one paid attention to him. Everyone knows that this fat man is rich, but most people will think that the fat man who has money is stingy, but they didn't expect that he would be willing to sponsor 100,000 silver taels for free if he made friends with Wuwu. I knew that he was a generous rich and fat man, and it was estimated that everyone would rush to make friends with him.

Carefree saw this complicated mood in everyone's eyes. Unlike the snobbery of these people, he never started his friendships with such interests.

By lunchtime, all Spiritual Root tests had ended. In addition to the spirit root merit who were directly admitted, there were about six hundred people who were sent to the waiting area.

According to Steward Chen's estimate, if there are 1,000 people with spiritual roots, about 400 people will be directly admitted with excellent spiritual roots. Among the remaining 600 people, the best spiritual root is only the fourth-grade spiritual root, and the worse ones are from the fourth-grade spiritual root and the fifth-grade spiritual root, and there will probably be a maximum of one hundred and fifty people who will be directly admitted in the second round. The rest of the people either went home or competed for the limited quota of about fifty tributes.

The 600 men were divided into 600 teams, and each of them was taken to the mourning hall by six stewards.

Those who were excellent in the spiritual root had already eaten in the Spirit Canteen Hall first. When they saw the scumbags of the spirit roots entering the spirit dining hall, they all looked at them with a superior look, and then they talked in a low voice.

Worry-free found that many companions around him bowed their heads in self-pity. He didn't care, his eyes scanned back and forth in the group of people, and he saw many familiar figures, and he also found that there were still many women.

When it comes to dining, each person goes to pick up the plate separately.

Carefree deliberately hung at the end, and waited for everyone else to collect it before he stepped forward to collect it.

Carefree accosted the chef without saying anything, and praised him for his good skills: "Master, your braised pork is full of color, flavor and flavor, it must be delicious!"

The great chef listened, and just smiled faintly.

Then the worry-free review is a bit professional: "I see this braised pork, it's not greasy at all, how did you do it? Well, let me guess, did you boil the meat in the water first, and then pour out the oil from it?"

Then he talked about a whole bunch of topics about cooking, ingredient modulation, etc.

When the chef heard this, there was already a look of approval in his eyes, and he also had a feeling of meeting a soulmate. He's been serving this braised pork here for decades, and today is the first time he's been asked to discuss why it's done so well.

The chef nodded, "It's roughly like you said, but there are other complicated processes. ”

Wuwu said with a greedy face: "Master, you can serve me more, it's rare to eat such a delicious braised pork!"

The chef quickly picked up the big spoon with a smile and scooped two large spoonfuls for Wu Wu! This amount is simply more than three times that of others. Say thank you without worry.
