Chapter 675: Eunuch Shi's Collection
"Boss Lin, I've long admired your great name!"
"Eunuch Shi, you're being modest! Please sit."
In the living room of the Sihe Courtyard, Lin Feng and Eunuch Shi met and exchanged a few polite words.
After they sat down, the maid immediately brought the tea.
Lifting his cup, Eunuch Shi slightly furrowed his brows.
Lin Feng laughed and said, "I can't tell good tea from bad, so I keep things casual at home; please excuse me, Eunuch Shi."
Eunuch Shi smiled, "That's because you've never tasted real good tea!"
He said that while raising his hand in a wave.
Among the two maidservants beside him, one reached into her bosom and took out a cloth bag.
When she opened it slowly, a flat, round, white tea cake appeared.
Then Eunuch Shi had the maid set up the tea kettle and other utensils.
Eunuch Shi's maid, carefully using a silver hook, peeled off a dozen or so white tea leaves from the tea cake.
After the water boiled, one maid divided the tea leaves into two cups, rinsed them briefly, discarded the water, then added hot water.
The process was not complicated.
Once brewed, the white tea leaves expanded in the tea at a rapid speed, turning from white to teal.
At the same time, a faint tea fragrance rose from the cup.
"Please!"
Eunuch Shi made a beckoning gesture.
He then lifted the cup, took a light sip, his face showing enjoyment.
Lin Feng also took a sip.
At the palate it was first a bit bitter, then sweet, with a hint of nutty fragrance and spices.
Overall, the tea was quite tasty.
But Lin Feng didn't think the tea was especially good.
"Boss Lin, how is it?"
Eunuch Shi asked with a smiling face.
Lin Feng nodded, "It's okay!"
"Let me try!"
Standing nearby, Yang Caiwei curiously lifted her cup and took a sip.
She then handed the cup to Qian Miaomiao.
Qian Miaomiao passed it to Zheng Enhui, who shook her head.
As for Qi Yao and the young witch, they were uninterested.
Eunuch Shi smiled, "This tea is a fermented tea; before the beautiful leaves are harvested, one must cleanse the body..."
"Pfft~"
Before Eunuch Shi finished speaking, Yang Caiwei spat out the sip she had just taken.
Qian Miaomiao turned and ran out.
Eunuch Shi chuckled, "This isn't tea for women to drink."
Because the fermentation process and its subsequent preservation are truly odd.
In this world many things are originally of low value, but after a special, ritualistic process, they become different.
Yang Caiwei frowned and also left.
"Boss Lin, I'm here this time with a request!"
Eunuch Shi said suddenly.
Lin Feng smiled, "Please speak, Eunuch Shi; whatever I can do, I will satisfy you."
Eunuch Shi glanced at the doorway.
At that moment, Lin Chang'e was perched at the doorway, poking her head out curiously at the scene in the living room.
Seeing the "old monster" look at her, she quickly pulled her head back.
Eunuch Shi looked at the young witch and said, "I want one arm of this Witch Tribe lady; after all, she can grow it back."
Lin Feng shook his head, "Sorry, I can't agree to that."
Eunuch Shi smiled and said, "I need it for alchemy; everything is ready except the Witch Tribe's flesh and blood. Will you agree? I can pay; how much do you want?"
"No amount of money will work!"
Lin Feng shook his head.
Eunuch Shi sighed, raised a finger and gestured, "One thousand billion... US dollars!"
Lin Feng shook his head.
"Five thousand billion US dollars!"
Lin Feng still shook his head.
Eunuch Shi frowned, "I can't go higher; more would lower my quality of life.
It's been over two thousand years, and I've barely amassed this much money; to hand over half at once, and you're still dissatisfied? This is US dollars!"jj. br>
Lin Feng shook his head, "It's not about money! I don't lack funds, and my woman is a priceless treasure to me; not even a single hair can be missing!"
Eunuch Shi smiled and shook his head, "What priceless treasure? Nothing in this world is truly priceless.
Those who claim something is priceless are merely unsatisfied with the offered price; how about this!"
Eunuch Shi said, raising his hand.
The butler Andrew pulled a USB flash drive from his pocket and handed it to Shi Gonggong.
Shi Gonggong took the USB flash drive, placed it on the table, pushed it toward Lin Feng, and said with a smile, "Open it and take a look!"
Lin Feng asked the household maid to bring a laptop over.
After opening the laptop, he inserted the USB flash drive.
The USB flash drive contained four folders, each a picture collection.
Their names were Chen Yu, Luoyan, Bi Yue, and Xiuhua.
Lin Feng casually opened "Chen Yu" and saw photos of a beautiful woman.
She was a beauty lying in a crystal coffin.
There were dozens in total, shot from various angles.
Lin Feng looked through them one by one, then opened the other three folders.
I have to say, the four women were truly gorgeous.
Shi Gonggong explained, "Chen Yu is the earliest beauty I collected, back when it was still the Qin dynasty.
After Qin Shi Huang unified the six states, a Princess sent from Goryeo was this woman.
Wasn't there a film made in '05? It was her—pretty, right?"
Saying that, he leaned close to Lin Feng and whispered, "I'll tell you, even Qin Shi Huang never saw her; I hid her away."
"Why?"
Lin Feng asked curiously.
Shi Gonggong said, "For such a beauty, my eyes were greedy; I thought it would be a waste for her to be ruined, so I gave her an immortality elixir, letting her sleep until now."
Lin Feng gave Shi Gonggong a thumbs‑up and said, "Shi Gonggong, you're really bold!"
Shi Gonggong smiled proudly and said, "People like us can't have small courage, can we?"
Those mortals are, in our eyes, no more than ants.
Look, two thousand years have passed, and I'm still alive and well; those heroes of old have long since turned to dust.
