The young man who successfully competed for the headfish was named Wang Lun, who was the same name as the first boss of Shuibo Liangshan. His purpose in finding Jiang Xingchen was not to buy tea, but to ask Jiang Xingchen to help keep the headfish fresh.
Jiang Xingchen really didn't expect that this person would not eat the headfish after buying it. He asked for it to be kept fresh, so he wanted to take it away.
"My old man celebrates his birthday, and I want to send this headfish as a birthday gift! So I want the Lord to help..." Wang Lun looked at Jiang Xingchen with some expectations after saying that.
"As a birthday gift!" Jiang Xingchen was surprised. The young man had a good mind. He actually thought of using a head fish that represents luck as a birthday gift. Although a fish is not very eye-catching, the key is that it is of great significance. A family that can spend 140,000 yuan to buy a fish is definitely a wealthy family. There is definitely no shortage of material things, and giving spiritual gifts is extremely precious.
However, Jiang Xingchen frowned immediately. Since Wang Lun asked for freshness, it means that this person's home is far away from Xingchenling and the climate is warm. Otherwise, in this cold and frozen north, there would be no need to keep freshness at all, and he would be frozen directly.
"Where is your home?" Jiang Xingchen asked.
"Hu~" Wang Lun breathed a sigh of relief, and Jiang Xingchen did not refuse directly, which means there is hope.
"My family is from the Dali Kingdom. This time I came here to visit me, just in time for the winter capture conference..."
"Oh! Is your family from the Dali Kingdom?" Jiang Xingchen was a little surprised. Among the people who came to Xingchen to lead the tour, except for Xuanyuan Tianzong and the Eight Kingdoms, there were also many people from the Orc Alliance and the Four Neutral Kingdoms.
However, it was during the celebration of New Town, and almost all fans of Bauhinia came, or came for the feast of monsters. After that, the cold and heavy snow were blocking the road, few people from other countries came. They could not stand the climate here, and there was no Bauhinia performance announced.
"That... I originally wanted to buy some tea with Mr. Jiang!" Wang Lun explained, and then Jiang Xingchen realized that the "Qingren" family admired not the name of Xingchen, but the name of tea. It is no wonder why the other party came here in the middle of winter. Before that, there were more wealthy businessmen and nobles from all over the country who asked him to sell tea.
"Judge Jiang, please help me no matter what. If you succeed, Wang Lun will definitely thank you very much!" The young man also knew that his request had passed, so he immediately spoke up with a tone of a big stone on his chest.
"Thank you very much! Haha, do you think there is a place for me Xingchen to thank you again?" Jiang Xingchen shook his head. He couldn't help this. It's five or six thousand miles away from the Kingdom. It will take twenty days to get on the carriage as soon as possible. Even if the fish are soaked in ice and wrapped in a quilt, it won't work. It will smell good at that time.
Wang Lun did not hear what Jiang Xingchen said, and thought that his words made Jiang Xingchen unhappy, so he quickly explained: "Of course, there is nothing missing here! What I mean is that my family is engaged in overseas trade, and there are many novel things in overseas forces..."
"Your family does overseas trade?" Jiang Xingchen's eyes lit up. He remembered that in his previous life, many species on the mainland were introduced from overseas, including corn, potatoes, and peppers that he had been obsessing with.
"Yes!" Wang Lun nodded and begged: "Sir, you must help. I know you have a way. The monster can keep fresh after being left for more than a month..."
Jiang Xingchen didn't say anything and pondered. He really didn't want to care about this matter, nor did he have the ability to care about it. Fish are not monsters, and they can keep fresh by locking their vitality. Besides, they only buy fish in winter, and they do not have the after-sales service to help customers keep fresh.
However, when Wang Lun spoke about doing overseas trade and mentioned many novel things, he was really moved.
"Wang Lun is so concerned about the birthday gift of the elderly in his family, it must be related to his own status or the distribution of family interests... But how can we keep the fish fresh? Is it filled with vitality? No, there is a living thing, but the fish is dead..."
When the young man saw Jiang Xingchen pondering, his heart was raised to his throat. Just as Jiang Xingchen judged. The birthday of the old man at home was directly related to the belonging of the heirs. Whoever the old man is better to, the resources will be tilted towards. Now several peers in the family are desperately looking for birthday gifts that can make the old man happy.
He was also looking for gifts to come to the Qiankun Empire. He accidentally heard someone mention tea, and suddenly felt that the old man must like this thing, so he asked about the purchase channels everywhere. But without asking, it turned out that Xingchen Teahouse was not sold at all.
Helplessly, he decided to come to Xingchen. At that time, the great battle between the Qiankun Empire and the Xuanyuan Tianzong was in full swing in the Yueying Kingdom. So he had been waiting here for more than half a month before waiting for Jiang Xingchen to come back.
What he didn't expect was that Jiang Xingchen gave him a surprise as soon as he came back, the winter fishing conference! It was shocking to catch 200,000 kilograms of fish in one net, but what he cared more about was the meaning of surplus every year and the rumors of luck. If the old man at home knew about it, he would not know how happy he would be.
So he spent a sky-high price to finally auction the headfish.
But then he sat on wax and the fish was fought for, but how to preserve it? Although he was also moved by the lucky saying that he wanted to eat it himself, it was more meaningful to give the old man a birthday gift.
After thinking about it, he suddenly thought that Xingchen led the feast of monsters in the previous period. Jiang Xingchen preserved the poisonous ape corpse and was still fresh for a whole month. There must be a way. Therefore, he couldn't wait for the opening of the tea shop that Jiang Xingchen said, so he came here the next day.
"Judge Jiang!" Seeing that Jiang Xingchen had not spoken for a long time, Wang Lun felt that his heart was about to jump out. In the end, he couldn't bear it, so he spoke up and prepared to ask again.
Just as he was shouting, Jiang Xingchen suddenly raised his head and asked in a deep voice: "When will the old people in your family celebrate their birthday!"
"February 33rd!" Wang Lun replied hurriedly. When he heard Jiang Xingchen ask about the time, he knew that the Lord had agreed. He couldn't help but feel excited and laughed excitedly.
"It's February 7th now, and there are still twenty-six days left..." Jiang Xingchen nodded quietly!
When he first arrived in this world, Jiang Xingchen was extremely uncomfortable with the days of thirty-six days a month and twenty-eight hours a day (it was called Yueshi here, I don’t know if it has anything to do with the moon). He secretly complained more than once that Mr. Tang’s age, when he arrived on Earth, he was a monster over a hundred years old!
Jiang Xingchen has decided to take care of those overseas species. Although there is no way to keep fresh, isn’t there an old man? At the sixth level of Yuanqi, he can gallop for 2,800 miles a day and night. Now he has been promoted to the eighth level of Yuanqi. It will arrive in five or six thousand miles a day and two days, which is much faster than the crabs. Even if he takes Wang Lun with him, it will take twice as long and he can arrive in about three days.
After three days, the ice cubes were put on and wrapped tightly with a quilt, so there should be no problem.
What makes Jiang Xingchen the most headache now is that he may have to give the old man another chance. As long as he opens his mouth, this old guy will definitely disguise himself.
"Thank you, Lord!" Wang Lun suppressed his joy and bowed to Jiang Xingchen to thank him.
Jiang Xingchen smiled and waved his hand, "No need to be polite, I hope you can meet my requirements in the future!"
"This is certain. Please don't worry, Master Jiang, Wang Lun will do what he said!" Wang Lun patted his chest and made the old man happy on his birthday. This was also a disguised test question for the family. Whoever did it well would have hope of taking charge of the family's great cause in the future. Then his promise to Jiang Xingchen is really nothing.
"That's good!" Jiang Xingchen said, and lifted up the teacup on the table.
"Sir! Look at how long it takes to prepare, and when will your tea shop open... There are still twenty-six days left, I'm afraid there is not enough time!" Wang Lun asked again after laughing.
"Uh!" Jiang Xingchen was stunned. Of course, it was not because of Wang Lun's words, but because he forgot that people in this world didn't know how to serve tea and see off guests.
With a wry smile, he blamed himself secretly, Jiang Xingchen reached: "Don't worry, leave on the 30th!"
"So late?" Wang Lun was shocked. Even if the road was smooth, it would take about ten days to ride a fast horse. Not to mention that the road was still blocked with heavy snow, and it would not be possible to reach the Dali Kingdom in twenty days.
Jiang Xingchen glanced at Wang Lun speechlessly, saying that it was so late, otherwise how could it be kept fresh? The fish would smell bad if you stay in a hot place for a day or two. Do you think I could still turn it into a refrigerator for you?
With a whisper in his heart, Jiang Xingchen said lightly: "Don't worry, it won't delay your old man's birthday... If you say tea, I'll give it to you before you leave!"
"It's not a delay to leave for three days, this..." Wang Lun's eyes were all written, and he was naturally full of doubts and resistance about the three days left to set off and rush back. But he couldn't ignore what Jiang Xingchen said, pointing all the points at others.
In this way, with a lot of questions and worries, Wang Lun finally left Jiang Xingchen's room. While walking, he thought about how he could rush back to the Dali Kingdom in three days...
After Wang Lun left, Jiang Xingchen went straight to the backyard to find the old man. Although he knew that he would definitely be controlled by this old guy again, for the sake of peppers, corn, potatoes, tomatoes, and cucumbers, what does it matter if they are controlled once more? At this time, his mind was already occupied by the oily hot pot.
However, Jiang Xingchen is not just seeking, and he also has some small means.
When he saw the old man in the backyard, he was in the snow and domino, looking serious, and Jiang Xingchen had never seen him twice.
"Boy, how about we have a domino competition?" The old man knew that Jiang Xingchen was coming without even a single head.
"Domino Competition, why do you think of holding this?" Jiang Xingchen asked in surprise.
"Of course it's for playing. I'm the best at playing dominoes... Anyway, don't you want to hold a chess and card competition, and you just happen to have a dominoes competition." The old man raised his head and said excitedly.
"That's it~" Jiang Xingchen smiled and asked, "Old man, which is important, your domino contest or brand new delicacies?"
PS: Thank you brothers, the monthly tickets have increased so much, thank you for the garlic! Regarding the issue of the hot update, I still have to be sorry for the garlic. The child has just entered the first grade and has to accompany him to study every night. Time is really too late. I hope my brothers will understand!
