Chapter 10: Han Zhangbei (Let's continue today and tomorrow)
"Prepare!"
Xu Tong took a closer look and saw the rough porcelain bottle at the other party's feet, and his heart moved: "That's it."
He cupped his hands towards the old man, stood up first, and walked towards the man's table.
I sat down at the table and glanced at the small plate in front of the man. I saw two round pebbles soaked in vinegar.
The man picked one up with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. He was either eating the stone or sucking on the taste.
I took another look at the man. He seemed to be in his forties, with an unkempt face and knotted hair. He had an indescribable fishy smell on his body.
It's hard to imagine how such a sloppy person could do anything to help him.
Seeing Xu Tong sit down, the man frowned in displeasure and said, "Whatever you say, you fart."
Seeing the man being so direct, Xu Tong didn't waste any time. He took out the burning knife and put it on the table: "Two things, one is to find someone, and the other is to learn skills."
Seeing the burning knife on the table, the man's eyes shone. He picked up a bottle, uncorked it, and poured it into his mouth. Xu Tong felt a pain in his stomach when he saw it.
I almost couldn't stand it after drinking a glass. This man drank the whole bottle, which in his eyes was simply a kind of torture.
But the man drank the entire bottle of Fire Knife in one go. His face turned red, but there was nothing strange about him. Instead, he let out a long, muffled burp that made him feel comfortable.
After drinking one bottle, he still seemed not satisfied, so he picked up another bottle, but this time he didn't feel bored after one sip. He poured it into the cup, put a stone in his mouth, took a few sips, and then said: "It's not difficult to find someone, pen."
Write down your name, age, and physical characteristics on a piece of paper. In short, write down everything you know, the more detailed the better."
As for learning!
After the man raised his head and looked Xu Tong up and down, there was a sparkle in his eyes: "Interesting, someone has forcibly changed your destiny, but the destiny can be changed, but the destiny cannot be changed. If you want to learn this craft, I'm afraid you don't have the talent.
.”
After saying this, the man didn't waste any time, and took out a book and threw it to Xu Tong: "My Han Zhangbei, just call me Zhang Bei. From now on, I will come here every other month, and bring me two bottles of wine each time."
I only roast chicken, if you don’t understand, just ask me.”
The corner of Xu Tong's mouth twitched, thinking that I was being blackmailed? I learned a trade from him and had to take care of food and drink.
However, the price was quite reasonable, so Xu Tong agreed without much thought.
Pick up the book and throw it into the prop book.
"Easy to Count Plum Blossoms"
It’s really just a book, but something is always better than nothing. Xu Tong regarded it as a task and accepted it happily.
"One code equals one code. If you find someone, you have to pay extra for a bronze badge." Han Zhangbei continued after seeing Xu Tong's acceptance.
"Can!"
Xu Tong nodded. He wanted to know where his good brother Chang Wuju went after escaping from the mental hospital. Although he suspected that he had become a player, there was no movement after so long.
, so I still want to find out how this guy is doing now.
After all, he is his good brother.
Seeing Xu Tong's promise, Han Zhangbei picked up the note written by Xu Tong on the table. After taking a look at the name on it, he took out six copper coins from his satchel and threw the coins into the turtle shell.
Shake it randomly a few times.
"Ding ding ding..."
There was a sound, and the coins fell on the table, arranged neatly in a row.
Han Zhangbei fiddled with it a few times, and after rearranging it, he couldn't help but frown: "This person is very troublesome..."
"Trouble, can't you find it?" Xu Tong frowned, thinking that if he couldn't find it, there would be no need for him to learn from this guy.
"No!" Unexpectedly, Han Zhangbei pinched his fingers: "I mean, you have to pay more."
After a final round of bargaining, Xu Tong could only reluctantly hand over the price of a silver badge.
After careful divination, Han Zhangbei said: "Chang Wugu, just because of this name, I have been doing business at a loss today. This guy should be in the north now. Judging from the divination, it may be Jilin or Jilin."
Maybe Heilongjiang."
After he finished speaking, he frowned and said: "The hexagram Huo Ze Sui (睽 hexagram) looks upward. This person is in a difficult start-up period at the moment. If he can be like-minded and trust each other, the goal can be achieved. But most of the successes in the beginning are small things. Small things accumulate.
Great things can be accomplished. Great things are accomplished by working together and failed by different wills."
Xu Tong couldn't help but nodded when he heard this. Now it seems that this guy is still in the script world, but if he is asked to cooperate with others, Xu Tong doesn't think this guy can do it.
But I finally have a general understanding, and my trip is not in vain.
At this time, when he saw Han Zhangbei starting to drink with the fire knife in his hand again, he couldn't help frowning and asked: "Is this wine really so delicious?"
"Oh, haven't you drank before?"
Han Zhangbei looked at him with a smile but not a smile: "When you understand, when you understand, you can drink this bottle of wine again, but when you drink and understand, I think that will be the time you regret the most."
Xu Tong didn't understand what this guy meant. Since the goal had been achieved, he wouldn't stay here any longer. He had to go to meet Gao Zhuo.
He and Gao Zhuo had already agreed to have dinner at the Lion Building in the Convention and Exhibition Center.
Xu Tong obviously came early, because he initially calculated the time and thought that it would take several hours to process the large number of basic encyclopedias.
I didn't expect that these basic encyclopedias were so popular and were sold out in a short time.
This can be regarded as a small mistake on his part, but a benign mistake.
Since he arrived early, Xu Tong didn't just sit there. He went to the suite box, lit a stick of yellow incense, and asked the three guys in the hall behind him to come out.
The food at the exhibition is not cheap, especially the food at the Lion House. The set meal starts at 5 o'clock, not including drinks.
But there was a reason why Gao Zhuo insisted on choosing the rendezvous point here.
Because the food at Lion House is absolutely delicious.
I don't know if it is a masterpiece in the world, but after Xu Tong ordered a 20-point super deluxe set meal, he and Da Ya and the three of them had a great time eating it.
The meal didn't even take five minutes, and the four of them ate everything in a hurry.
After eating and drinking, Xu Tongcai asked Daya what the characteristics of the Northeast were and whether he might go there in the future.
Although Da Ya is a female fox, she speaks in a down-to-earth manner: "Reporting to the headmaster, we are in such a poor place. Apart from being poor, there is really nothing special about us."
After Da Ya finished speaking, her eyes rolled around: "Oh, nothing more than heavenly dragon meat, chicken stewed with mushrooms, scallions rolled in sauce pancakes..."
It's all in vain if you want Da Ya to talk about humanistic features, but when it comes to eating, this smelly fox has a big mouthful, and he immediately becomes energetic.
Xu Tong listened for a long time and asked, "Is this girl here to tell him the names of dishes in cross talk? Why does everything sound like food?"
"Stop, stop, let's not talk about food, tell me about your brother Ma from the Northeast."
Even if I am idle, I am idle. Although I am an independent official, I still have some relationship with the Northeast. Besides, I have accepted the vixen Da Ya, and I will inevitably have a cause and effect with the Northeast Fairy Family in the future.
So it’s better to inquire more and understand more.
Although Da Ya understood that Xu Tong suddenly inquired about these things, it was not a good thing, but because of the authority of the leader, he still told everything he knew.
In fact, what Da Ya knows is still limited. Most of it is information that Xu Tong knows. If there is a difference, it is that among the great immortals of their Hu family, there is an ancestor who has never been born.
It is said that this ancestor is the Lao Taishan of their Hu family. He has vast supernatural powers and boundless magical power. He has enjoyed the incense for thousands of years since the Yuan Dynasty and is already on the verge of becoming an immortal.
Later, I don’t know what happened. The old lady suddenly retreated into seclusion. Seeing that the position of headmaster was passed down, she disappeared into Tushan. It is said that only on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, the elders of the clan can go into the mountain to pay homage.
.
It is precisely because of this old lady that the Hu family can become the head of the five families.
Mr. Tushan!
Xu Tong thought about it for a while and felt that it would be better for him not to run to the northeast recently. Let his unlucky brother just let him cause trouble in the northeast for a while.
"Hey, why did you come so early??"
At this time, Gao Zhuo, who came on time, finally rushed over. After seeing that Xu Tong and the others had already eaten the set meal, he couldn't help but be a little confused, wondering if he had remembered the time wrong?
Xu Tong's face turned red. Of course he wouldn't tell Gao Zhuo that he had made a mistake. He didn't expect those basic encyclopedias to be so popular.
He just changed the subject and asked with a concerned face: "You walked around the exhibition a lot, and you must have gained a lot."
Xu Tong and Gao Zhuo chose to act separately this time, each with their own tasks. Xu Tong mainly dealt with the basic encyclopedia and went to Shuiji Grocery Store to take a look.
In addition to choosing suitable prop cards to improve himself, Gao Zhuo also shoulders an important task, which is to find out one thing for himself, all the information and news about certified players.
Since the last time he played against Jing Shoucheng, Xu Tong has deeply understood the power of certified players. Even if he uses all his cards, it will be difficult to hurt him at all.
In the face of absolute power, no matter how many tricks he uses, it will be useless. From that time on, he decided that he must improve as soon as possible no matter what, at least when he faces a certified player next time, he will have the full body.
And the strength to retreat.
Gao Zhuo took a sip of water, took out a small notebook from the prop book and placed it on the table: "I heard about it, and I have some good news for you."
"good news?"
Xu Tong looked at Gao Zhuo, and after confirming that the good news was literal, he only heard Gao Zhuo whisper: "Actually, you are very close to the conditions for becoming a certified player..."
