"Haha, what I am saying is that I did not think carefully." He waved his hand, and Jiang Qiufeng immediately stepped forward and took the wooden box away.
Yu Jiansheng cried out in his heart that it was a pity, but he did not object.
How could it be so easy to get Wanbaoxuan's ten thousand taels of silver? If he accepted it today, God knows if there would be any disputes in the future. On the contrary, it was Zheng Haotian's performance that impressed him. He did not even blink in the face of huge wealth.
So he refused. Even he was ashamed of his magnanimity.
"Brother, I'm wrong this time, so I'll use this glass of wine to apologize to you." Qi Jiaming picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it first without hesitation.
Given his status, it can only be described as unbelievable that he could do this to a mountain hunter of unknown origin.
Zheng Haotian smiled awkwardly, bowed deeply, and said, "I don't know what's good, and I've let down your good intentions. Please forgive me."
His refusal just now was also impulsive, because even he himself didn't understand what kind of strange state of mind he was in just now.
But now that he had said it, he suddenly found that his heart felt much more relaxed, and he didn't even have any regrets.
Qi Jiaming waved his hand slightly, he pondered for a moment, turned around and whispered an order. Jiang Qiufeng, who was accompanying him, immediately responded and left quickly, but he returned in just a moment and took out a stack of
Banknote.
After delivering these banknotes to Zheng Haotian again, Qi Jiaming said sternly: "Brother Zheng, you don't want to receive benefits in vain, I don't dare to force you. But even with the white jade ring in your hand, we at Wanbaoxuan will never take advantage of you.
.Here are 2,000 taels of silver notes. Even if it is the remaining money from purchasing the White-Eyed Wolf King's skin, please accept it from Brother Zheng."
Zheng Haotian was slightly startled and said: "Is the white-eyed wolf king's skin worth three thousand taels of silver?"
Qi Jiaming smiled proudly and said: "The same thing is sold in the hands of different people, and the value is very different." He paused and said: "In half a month, it will be the New Year. This is a big day of the year.
, those high-ranking dignitaries are collecting rare things, as long as I let it go, this white-eyed wolf king skin can be auctioned for at least three thousand taels of silver."
When he said these words, there was a strong and unquestionable firmness and confidence.
Yu Jiansheng and Zheng Haotian looked at each other, and they were shocked. It turned out that Wanbaoxuan could earn such a huge price difference with just one backhand.
However, even if they are envious, it is of no use.
This thing is indeed worth so much in the hands of Wanbaoxuan, but if they sell it, let alone whether it can be sold smoothly, even if they get money in exchange, they may be in trouble.
There is definitely more than one Wang Biao in this world.
Looking at Qi Jiaming's sincere eyes, Zheng Haotian pondered for a moment, finally nodded and put away the two thousand taels of silver notes on the table.
Qi Jiaming laughed loudly, and he was relieved.
Although Wanbaoxuan was opened for business, even if he was given the courage to do so, he would not dare to deceive Zheng Haotian on the price, let alone usurp any of his interests. If possible, he would even be willing to do it
It was a loss-making business, but Zheng Haotian made it clear that he was unwilling to accept charity.
But now that it has been said, everyone is naturally happy.
A plate of grilled and ruddy and attractive dishes was brought up. Zheng Haotian twitched his nose twice and couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
When he smelled the aroma, he had the urge to swallow the whole plate of barbecue.
For more than two years, he would have a similar feeling every time he smelled the aroma of cooked bear meat and wolf meat.
His heart suddenly moved, and an incredible idea suddenly popped out of his mind.
Could it be that this dish is also good for your body?
Perhaps because Zheng Haotian's gaze was too obvious, Qi Jiaming smiled slightly and introduced for the first time: "Brother He, this dish is cooked with spot-tailed sandpipers. The meat of this bird is tough and delicious. If cooked
Properly prepared and delicious, it will never be inferior to any delicacies in the world."
Zheng Haotian nodded solemnly, stretched out his chopsticks unceremoniously, picked up a piece and put it into his mouth. He chewed it casually a few times and swallowed it.
To be honest, these dishes are all cooked with great care, and the color, aroma and appearance are all the same. If there are only one or two dishes, it will naturally amaze a country bumpkin like Zheng Haotian.
However, now there are not twenty but nineteen dishes on offer, not counting the cold dishes at the beginning.
This amount was enough for Zheng Haotian to complete his transformation from shock to numbness.
Although the taste of this barbecue bar-tailed sandpiper is definitely not bad, it is definitely not the best, so when Zheng Haotian ate it, he had no deep feeling at all.
However, after he swallowed this mouthful of meat, the feeling was something he would never forget.
A strong heat boiled from his stomach. Although this heat was not huge, it gave him the clearest feeling.
Zheng Haotian's eyes narrowed slightly, and his satisfied expression could be seen from the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
Not all meat can have an effect on him.
Although both bear meat and wolf meat can generate heat flow in his body, Zheng Haotian found that the more he took the meat of the same kind of beast, the effect seemed to be gradually diminishing. Although his personal physique was still improving.
It was rising slowly, but he had no bottom in his heart. If one day, these meats no longer generate heat flow, then his greatest support would be gone.
Therefore, in his heart he still really wanted to discover some more beast meat that could be useful to him.
This time, what he didn't expect was that he discovered another kind of meat that could benefit him. This joy was even better than the feeling of getting two thousand taels of silver notes.
"Ahem..." Yu Jiansheng coughed awkwardly and stepped on Zheng Haotian hard under the table. I really don't know what happened to this little guy. It was like a starving ghost reincarnated. He was different from the usual one.
The performance is very different.
Zheng Haotian woke up from a dream, his face turned red, his eyes rolled, he lit the plate in front of him, and said: "Uncle Yu, this thing is delicious, you can try it."
Qi Jiaming laughed loudly and said: "Brother Zheng is really a hero, without any pretense. This is the real good man. Come on, let the kitchen make two more pots."
Yu Jiansheng smiled bitterly and said: "Master, this is the first time for my nephew to eat such delicious food. I lost my temper for a moment. Please forgive me."
Qi Jiaming waved his hand and said: "What I admire most in my life are bold and straightforward men. Those guys who clearly like me to death, but tell lies with their eyes open are the most despised. Brother Zheng's temperament is very suitable for me.
There’s nothing strange about it.”
Yu Jiansheng said yes, but in his heart it was a secret. If Haotian didn't have that white jade ring in his hand, I'm afraid you wouldn't have said that.
However, when he thought of the white jade ring that Zheng Haotian got from nowhere, Yu Jiansheng's heart beat loudly. But now that he was riding a tiger, it was difficult to put it aside.
Not long after, the servant brought up the same cooked Spot-tailed Sandpiper again.
Zheng Haotian was not polite. He let go of his belly and wiped out all three pots of Spot-tailed Sandpiper, and then licked his lips with unfulfilled interest.
The taste of these bar-tailed sandpipers is just that, but the heat generated is real.
During the past few days, Zheng Haotian lived in the city, and his eating conditions were naturally not comparable to those at home. This was the first time he had eaten food that could increase heat after entering the city, so he was naturally excited beyond expectations.
Seeing him wolfing down food like this, even Qi Jiaming and Yu Jiansheng felt their appetites were whetted and seemed to be able to eat much more than usual.
Zheng Haotian touched his slightly swollen belly and said, "Big shopkeeper, where did you catch these bar-tailed snipe? Is this thing very precious?"
Qi Jiaming laughed dumbly and said: "These spotted-tailed sandpipers are actually not precious. They are one of the specialties near Pianxi City." After pondering for a while, he stretched his hand towards the west and said: "Go out of the west gate, three hundred miles away.
It’s Yubaiguan Pass, a big town in Pianxi City. These strange birds are a specialty there.”
Zheng Haotian nodded repeatedly, but he sighed secretly in his heart.
For an ordinary person, a distance of three hundred miles is an unimaginable journey. Unless a normal hunter is hunting in the mountains, his range of activities will never exceed a hundred miles from the village where he lives.
Even if they, martial arts practitioners, want to get to that place, it is not an easy task.
However, now that he knows that this thing is useful to him now, Zheng Haotian will never give up.
Yu Jiansheng glanced at the sky, finally stood up, bowed and said: "Big shopkeeper, our uncle and nephew have left the village for several days. If we don't go back, we will probably panic our friends. Therefore, our uncle and nephew will leave here."
Farewell."
Zheng Chenglian and others all knew that they came out to sell the skin of the White-Eyed Wolf King. If they did not return for a long time and there was no news, then even the most optimistic people would feel worried at this time.
Zheng Haotian's eyes lit up slightly, and he quickly stood up and said, "Uncle Yu is saying, senior, let's take our leave."
Qi Jiaming did not try to persuade them to stay, but he personally sent them away from Wanbaoxuan.
This etiquette is quite solemn, and even the eldest lady of the Qiu family has not enjoyed it.
When sending Zheng Haotian and the two away, Qi Jiaming specially prepared a carriage as a gift, and made it clear that this was just a token of appreciation between friends.
His attitude and tone were so natural, as if what he was giving away was just an item worth one copper plate.
Even though he was as old as Yu Jiansheng, he could not refuse politely. As a last resort, the two people drove away in a carriage...
