Chapter 86: The Changes in Jiang Yuyan (Fourth Update)
Inside the delicacy shop
At this moment, Zhu Qizhen was surrounded by a group of people eyeing him hungrily; many gazes were fixed intently on the black rice wine brew in the purple wine cup.
If they could just taste a sip, they would know its effect.
Sensing everyone's gazes, Zhu Qizhen directly picked up the wine cup and drained it in one gulp.
This was the key to breaking the current stalemate for him now; he absolutely could not let it go to others.
As a result, the moment Zhu Qizhen swallowed the rice wine, he was instantly stunned.
At this moment, Zhu Qizhen was exactly the same as Ying Zheng before; the moment the rice wine entered his mouth.
His originally mortal body had, at this moment, forcibly had a massive amount of impurities removed.
In some vague, unseen way, Zhu Qizhen instantly stepped onto the path of cultivation.
The internal energy growing within his body had, at this moment, transformed into spiritual energy.
Such a scene left Zhu Qizhen dumbfounded.
Just as he was preparing to cry out in pure delight, he sensed the gazes from all around.
In an instant, Zhu Qizhen's inner delight was immediately forced back down.
"How is it? What effect does it have?"
Seeing Zhu Qizhen finish drinking, Yue Buqun and the others swarmed over.
Clearly, nothing could be learned from those two old foxes.
However, this yellow-mouthed youth was different.
A pig-like existence; absolutely easy to fool!
But the moment Zhu Qizhen saw everyone's gazes, just as he was about to speak, he thought of Ying Zheng and Stark from before.
The words at his lips instantly changed.
"Hmm, this wine tastes clear and sweet; it is quite excellent!"
Zhu Qizhen smiled flatteringly and said to Su Mu, who was not far away.
In an instant, a series of bewildered gazes turned toward Zhu Qizhen.
Holy crap, you actually flatter at a time like this!
Also, is that what we wanted to know?
"Shopkeeper, thank you for your hospitality; I will leave first!"
Sensing the gazes watching him gradually turn chilling, Zhu Qizhen stood up, said a word to Su Mu, and immediately ran away.
And seeing that this kid Zhu Qizhen had simply slipped away like that, even though everyone was extremely displeased, there was nothing they could do.
"Shopkeeper, I would like to ask, when is the next time for this black rice wine brew?"
Looking at the menu once more, they saw that next to "black rice wine brew," it only wrote "limited to three cups per serving."
But it did not write a specific time; Yue Buqun could not help but ask a question.
"The next time?"
Hearing this, Su Mu could not help but turn his head to look back at the round wooden barrel in the kitchen.
After hesitating for a moment, Su Mu still spoke it out.
"Probably after next week!"
Thinking about the production volume, Su Mu decided to hold an auction once a week from now on.
In this way, profits should be maximized.
And hearing that it would be held once a week, Ying Zheng and Stark both immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
They had previously thought that such an immortal brew might only be available once a month.
Once a week; for them, this was simply an enormous benefit.
But Yue Buqun and the others, hearing it was only once a week, could not help but frown tightly.
Once a week; this is simply too slow.
They had originally thought it would be once a day; in that case, they would have had a chance to taste it.
But with once a week, Ying Zheng and Stark absolutely would not give up.
In an instant, a trace of determination appeared in Yue Buqun's eyes.
It seems my plan must be moved up.
If I don't get money soon, I won't even be able to afford food.
Yue Buqun thought lightly in his heart; in an instant, he decided that after returning, he would carry out his plan ahead of schedule.
And the others, Zhang Sanfeng, Abbot Xuan Ci, and so on.
At this moment, they too frowned and fell into deep thought.
Ying Zheng and Stark, plus today's Zhu Qizhen; the wealth of these people was gradually pulling them apart.
Thinking that clearly they had arrived first.
Zhang Sanfeng and Abbot Xuan Ci and the others all felt a sense of pressure.
It seems that after returning, we must find a way to get money!
Among the crowd, only Tang San was not overthinking things at this moment.
With his soul power increased so much, Tang San was already very satisfied.
As for that black rice wine brew, Tang San had not tasted it and did not know its effect.
However, judging from the situation observed just now through the Purple Demon Eye, it was absolutely explosively good.
Otherwise, Ying Zheng and Stark would not have been like that.
"Shopkeeper, sorry to disturb; see you tomorrow!"
Seeing the auction had ended and the black rice wine had been tasted, Stark and Seeing Ying Zheng, now fully satisfied, exchanged a few words and then departed.
Yue Buqun, Zhang Sanfeng, and the others nearby glanced at each other, then likewise turned and left.
The difference was that their departure was to go back and raise money.
Tang San, however, glanced at the two newcomers who had just arrived; seeing that they had not yet ordered anything, his eyes suddenly sparkled.
"Gentlemen, the delicacies here are quite excellent; you should try some!"
He quietly reminded the two, then carefully studied them.
"By the way, I would like to offer three thousand taels of gold to purchase portions of Dongpo Pork and Thousand-Layer Pork Rolls from you both; I wonder if you would be willing!"
This was the first time he had seen people enter a delicacy shop and go so long without ordering any food.
Tang San's interest was immediately piqued.
Just as the Immortals here had released new items, if these two did not need them, then he, Tang San, would not hold back.
After all, behind him, the Shrek Seven Devils and the rest all needed delicacies to boost their strength.
"Oh, oh, certainly, this humble scholar is willing!"
Ning Caichen, who had been dazed until now, seeing Tang San willing to pay three thousand taels of gold for the portions, immediately agreed.
In any case, Ning Caichen had already seen those two dishes.
To ask for four hundred taels of gold? That was simply scamming people.
What kind of dish could possibly be worth four hundred taels of gold?
Jiang Yuyan, however, hesitated for a moment before directly refusing.
Earlier, Abbot Xuan Ci and others had purchased watermelon juice; now Tang San was purchasing Dongpo Pork.
Everything here seemed to be related to these delicacies.
Jiang Yuyan looked at the gold before her and, in an instant, made a decision.
"Shopkeeper, please serve me one portion of everything!"
Rising slightly, she bowed respectfully to Su Mu.
Jiang Yuyan wanted to know what was so miraculous about these delicacies.
Such a scene caused Tang San to feel a moment of surprise and suspicion.
This woman was somewhat interesting.
She had noticed the problem so quickly.
Compared to that scholar, this woman made Tang San regard her with even greater respect.
However, Tang San only glanced at her once more, then directly took his packed delicacies and stepped out of the delicacy shop.
He still had to return to properly show off.
No, to properly share the new delicacies with his little companions.
With Tang San's departure, for a moment, only Jiang Yuyan and Ning Caichen remained inside the delicacy shop.
Seeing that Jiang Yuyan had ordered, Ning Caichen hesitated for a moment before ordering a portion of egg fried rice.
As for beef noodles, he would not order them.
They were too expensive; he was merely a scholar, so he should save up more money.
Seeing Ning Caichen's manner, Jiang Yuyan, for some reason, frowned slightly.
She felt as though the other person had lost something.
