Chapter 22: The Old Man
On the first floor, in front of a small counter at the reception desk, they took out the invitation and handed it to the reception of Sanssouci Club. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After the receptionist took the invitation and approved the identities of the two, he asked a person dressed as a housekeeper to lead the two to a secret place on the first floor, and stepped on a simple teleportation circle.
After reaching the fifth floor, the two were arranged in a private room at the end.
When he saw that all the people had arrived, he ordered the steward to begin the banquet. The people in the private room began to talk to each other. Taste the exquisite dishes, pour the wine, push the glass and change the glass, and drink happily.
There was a burst of music in the private room, and the famous prostitutes played the pipa and sang a little song, as expected. Several gorgeously dressed and curvy women turned gracefully in the center of the lobby and danced.
In the last private room.
Gale and a red-faced man poured two bowls of wine, drank them dry, and had a good conversation. It seems that the two have a good relationship.
Li Fan used bamboo chopsticks to put a piece of goose meat in a delicate dish plate and put it in his mouth, savoring it carefully.
The goose meat is smooth and melts in your mouth, and it is fragrant in your mouth.
Next to him sat two old men. A man in his sixties, with white hair and hair, and a light blue shirt. The other was slightly older, but full of energy, with a flushed face and a black robe.
The strange thing was that Li Fan found out that he was a monk with his Hope Qi technique, but he couldn't know his cultivation realm.
After flipping through the introduction. The old man who looked like a monk was surnamed Fan, and he was an alchemist. The old man in coarse cloth was surnamed Cui and was a carver.
The red-faced man who drank with Gale Wind was called Ma Yun, and he was the vice leader of the gang in Qinglongtang.
At this time, the gale and Ma Yun poured several large glasses of wine into their stomachs. His eyes drifted to the woman singing in the corner, glancing over her hidden twin peaks.
The woman's waist twisted, the twin peaks trembled slightly, and she threw a wink. Hooked Ma Yun into flames, picked up a glass of wine, and staggered over. Fingers hooked on the woman's face, and the glass was placed to her lips.
The woman smiled, opened her mouth, and drank the wine cleanly, her face flushed.
"Good amount of wine, Brother Lie brought wine, Ma and the beauty drank three glasses. ”
The gale had no choice but to carry the wine jar and walked over.
Li Fan tasted the dishes on the table. It really deserves to be the gold medal here. Each ingredient is carefully blended to create a pure taste with a wide range of flavors and a smooth mouthfeel.
The two old men next to him pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and they talked happily.
"This time, the old man traveled to collect medicine, and accidentally got a few pieces of wood, and I hope Brother Cui can help identify it. ”
The monk surnamed Fan drank a glass of wine and said with a smile.
Then take it out and take a look, there are not many materials in the world that can hide from the old man's eyes. ”
The old man surnamed Cui smiled, and stroked his snow-white long beard with his hand.
"Okay, the old man will take it out. ”
The monk surnamed Fan flipped his hand, and a brick-sized crimson wood appeared in his hand. Handed it over.
Cui Lao fingered the surface of the wood and carefully observed the lines.
After a long time, he said.
"This is Red Flame Wood, produced from the Red Flame Volcano, and the age of the wood is 30 years. The material is medium, and it contains wood fire aura. ”
The monk surnamed Fan nodded, and his hand flipped again. Take out a piece of wood the size of a palm, twisted like an antler. Handed it over.
Cui Lao put the piece of wood twisted like antlers in the palm of his hand, and after observing it, he spoke.
"This is coral wood, which produces the deep sea floor, contains the spirit of water, the age of the wood is 50 years, and the material is medium. ”
"Brother Cui really has good eyesight. This Red Flame Wood was obtained by accident from the Red Flame Volcano. The piece of Shanshan wood was swimming through the Black Sea and was bought at a high price from a fisherman. The old man surnamed Fan laughed after speaking.
"However, can you bother Brother Cui for one thing? He smiled slightly, and then said.
"Brother Fan, but it doesn't matter. ”
Cui Lao said with a slight smile.
"Brother Cui's wood carving skills are unmatched in the entire Smoke Cloud City. Ben Xiu wants a few small tripods, and these materials will trouble Brother Cui. ”
"Well, according to the standard distance, the old man must take one-third of the material for research, according to the age of the material, charge three hundred silver taels, and take the finished product within three days. ”
After hearing this, the monk surnamed Fan felt a pain in his flesh, and his face twitched slightly.
"The price is easy to say, but this material is a big slap, Brother Cui is taking one of the third, after this carved product, the company is not a collection. ”
"This material contains the aura of the five elements, and it is not a material to find the palm, and it takes a lot of effort to carve it successfully. The aura contained in this material can also be cultivated and strengthened, if there is no special means, the aura overflows and dissipates, then it is not a failure. What Brother Fan likes should be the aura contained. If that's the case, why care about the size of the material?"
Cui Lao seemed to see through his thoughts, and said with a narrow eye.
"It seems that Benxiu is overthinking. ”
The monk surnamed Fan smiled and reached into his arms. As soon as the hand reached in, his face became bitter again.
He turned his head, looked at Li Fan, and said with a smile.
"Xiaoyou can bring two taels of silver with him, borrow 300 from the old man, and he will definitely return it another day. ”
Li Fan was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, reached into his arms, and took out three hundred taels of silver tickets and gave them to him.
The monk surnamed Fan was overjoyed, and even thanked him, hurriedly took it, and handed it to Cui Lao.
"Brother Fan, how can you be so shabby. Cui Lao took it and said jokingly.
"It's hard to say, don't talk about this, come and drink"
Wine. The monk surnamed Fan diverted the topic with a bitter face.
At that moment, the three of them poured full wine and drank happily.
There was a sound of porphyry in the distance, but it was Ma Yun who fought with the woman, and after drinking many glasses, he finally gave up and fell to the ground.
The woman's face was also flushed at this time, her drunkenness was getting stronger, the flowers and branches were trembling, and her apricot eyes were full of spring.
Seeing this, the housekeeper outside the private room hurriedly sent a few maids to help the woman and Ma Yun out, arranged them to a quiet room, and sent someone to take care of them.
Gale shook his head and turned back to his seat.
At this time, after a few rounds of drinking, Wuwu walked out of the private room with a middle-aged man in official uniform holding a wine glass and came to the middle of the hall.
When everyone saw this, they walked out one after another, holding wine glasses in their hands, turning forward, and toasting and congratulating.
Li Fan poured a full bottle of wine, followed him out of the private room, and walked in front of Wuwu in a few steps. Raise your glass.
"I wish the pavilion lord happiness such as the East China Sea, longevity than Nanshan. After saying that, he had a drink with Carefree.
Wuwu drank his wine, smiled slightly, and said to the middle-aged man in official uniform next to him.
"This is Brother Li Fan. ”
The middle-aged man in the official uniform nodded, glanced at Li Fan, and smiled.
"Listen to the worry-free mention, the Yan family Zhuang Ping Beast, the little brother did his part, and returned the people to peace. I toast you. ”
He picked up the wine jug and filled Li Fan with wine, raised his own cup, and drank it all.
"This is Lord Hou Tong of Smoke Cloud City. Worry-free said.
"Thank you, Mr. Hou. Li Fan picked up the cup and quickly drank it.
After drinking dry, Li Fan turned around and returned.
