Tang Xiu had just walked out of the villa lobby and met a middle-aged man who walked into the courtyard door. He has a Chinese character face, a well-proportioned figure, about 1.8 meters, and a pair of bright eyes.
"Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Tang Xiu."
Tang Xiu raised his brows, looked him over, and said, "I am Tang Xiu, who are you?"
"I'm Tang Dong! I heard you want to see me?"
Tang Dong was also looking at Tang Xiu. There was confusion in his eyes. He didn't understand why this young man, who had become famous on Jingmen Island in the past two days, wanted to see him.
Tang Xiu nodded and said: "Yes, I originally wanted to meet the old owner of the villa, but I heard that it is difficult to see him, so I wanted to meet you. There are some things I need to ask you. Shall we find a quieter place?"
Tang Dong glanced at the villa behind Tang Xiu, turned around and said, "Come with me! There is a villa building nearby that specializes in tea. It is generally not open to the public."
soon.
The two of them came to the villa building. As the waiter prepared the tea, Tang Dong took a sip. Then he looked at Tang Xiu and asked, "Tell me! What do you want from me?"
Tang Xiu said: "I am interested in the ingredients you use to make the main course. I wonder if you can tell me where you hunted the ferocious beasts?"
Tang Dong smiled and said: "So that's what happened. In fact, many people know the place where we hunt ferocious beasts. Near Jingmen Island, there is a trench called the Eye of Death. There are some ferocious beasts there, and they are all very dangerous. They are ferocious, and even most of them have simple intelligence.”
Tang Xiu said: "I'm afraid it's not easy to hunt down ferocious beasts, right?"
Tang Dong said helplessly: "Of course it's not easy. Every time we send people to the Eye of Death, people will be injured, and on a few occasions people will die. This is why the food at our Straits Villa is extremely expensive."
Tang Xiu said with understanding on his face: "I see that all the security personnel of your villa are all practicing masters. If you pay a little more attention and use some weapons, you should be able to hunt the ferocious beasts. The last question, can your villa be able to hunt them down?" Are there carcasses of ferocious beasts for sale?”
Tang Dong frowned and asked in confusion: "Do you need the corpse of a vicious beast?"
Tang Xiu said: "Yes!"
Tang Dong shook his head and said: "We do have ferocious beast carcasses in our villa, but we will not sell them to outsiders. Because every time we hunt down a ferocious beast, it is extremely difficult, and the special dishes of our villa require the carcasses of ferocious beasts as the main ingredient. So…sorry.”
Tang Xiu was silent for a while and then said slowly: "If I don't need the meat of the ferocious beast, can you sell me the remaining hair, claws, scales, bones, or blood and other materials?"
Tang Dong asked curiously: "What do you need these things for?"
Tang Xiu said calmly: "I can arrange the formation. I need these things to arrange the formation."
Tang Dong was surprised and said: "You know the formation? That kind of Qimen Dunjia?"
Tang Xiu nodded and said: "I believe you already know what I did at Baiyan Restaurant. If I don't understand the formation, how can I get through the sixth floor of the Thousand Machine Formation?"
Tang Dong slapped his forehead and said with a smile: "I am really smart and confused for a while. I can sell you the things you need, but we are in business, and I want to ask what price you can give?"
Tang Xiu thought for a moment and then said seriously: "I will buy the remaining hair, claws, scales, bones, or other things of any ferocious beast for five million, how about it?"
five million
Tang Dong looked at Tang Xiu dumbfounded. He never dreamed that Tang Xiu would pay such a high price. You know, apart from meat, there aren't many other things in the corpses of ferocious beasts that their villa can use. Even so, the food cooked by each ferocious beast can only be sold for about 10 million. The remaining body parts were disposed of at very low prices.
"What? You're not satisfied?"
Tang Xiu asked doubtfully.
Tang Dong waved his hands repeatedly and said: "No, no, no, of course I am satisfied. The price you gave is reasonable and we have made this deal. I wonder when you will need it?"
Tang Xiu said: "If it is available now, I can buy it now."
Tang Dong immediately stood up and said seriously: "We happen to have some remaining corpse parts of ferocious beasts in our villa. I will take you over to have a look."
"good!"
Tang Xiu immediately stood up.
However, after he followed Tang Dong for more than ten steps, he suddenly remembered that he should buy items with carved talismans. Immediately, he said: "I have a heartfelt request, I wonder if I can tell it?"
Tang Dong turned his face sideways and said, "Say it!"
Tang Xiu said: "I'm going to buy some things. Can you send someone to buy them for me? The things are not expensive. I believe I can buy them if I ask around."
Tang Dong smiled and said: "This is a small matter. You write down what you want to buy on a piece of paper. I will send someone to buy it immediately, and we will talk about the money when I get back."
"good!"
ten minutes later.
Tang Xiu followed Tang Dong to the kitchen deep in the villa. Behind the kitchen, there was a large warehouse. Inside the warehouse, there was a large icehouse with the corpses of two ferocious beasts frozen inside. Outside is an ordinary space, where the dissected body parts of the ferocious beasts are discarded.
"Here are the materials that we have no use for after the dissection of four ferocious beasts. If you are satisfied, we can sell them to you at the price you mentioned." Tang Dong looked at Tang Xiu with some expectation in his heart and said.
Tang Xiu observed for a few minutes, nodded and said, "I want all these things, and the money can be transferred to you immediately. But can I ask you for another favor?"
"you say!"
Tang Dong said happily.
Tang Xiu said: "I came to Star City myself, but I have to go to sea for something in the past few days. I don't have the time or energy to send these materials back to Star City. I will give you an address, can you send someone to deliver it to me? After sending it over there, I will arrange for someone to receive it."
Tang Dong smiled and said: "It's a small matter."
The materials for the four ferocious beasts totaled 20 million. Tang Xiu recently learned how to transfer money through mobile banking, and then transferred the 20 million to Tang Dong.
"Within half a year, I want all the ferocious beasts that your villa has hunted and the remaining materials after dissection. Remember my mobile phone number. You send someone to Star City, and I will transfer the money to you immediately." Deal. After that, Tang Xiu said again.
Tang Dong was stunned and said in surprise: "Only half a year?"
Tang Xiu said: "Yes! There is only half a year. These ferocious beasts you hunt are all low-level ferocious beasts. They will be useful to me within half a year, but after half a year, unless you can hunt more powerful ferocious beasts, they will The materials on my body are no longer of use to me.”
Tang Dong suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Don't worry! Since we only have half a year, I will naturally send more people to the Eye of Death to hunt a large number of ferocious beasts."
Tang Xiu nodded and said: "In that case, I will go back to the villa where I had dinner first. I will buy the things I need later and I will give the money directly to your people."
Tang Dong waved his hand and said: "I already know what the things you want to buy are. Those things don't cost much, so forget about the money."
He is not a fool. He has already made a lot of money from Tang Xiu for the materials for the corpses of ferocious beasts. He doesn’t care about the little money at all. He might as well be a favor and make more deals with Tang Xiu for the materials for the corpses of ferocious beasts in the future. trade.
"good!"
Tang Xiu simply agreed and left.
Tang Dong squinted his eyes and looked at Tang Xiu's back, feeling a strange feeling in his heart. The Tang Xiu he faced was obviously a young man of about twenty years old, but his behavior did not look like a young man at all. Instead, he looked like a mature and stable big shot who once had an extremely noble status. This feeling made him feel a little ridiculous.
Tang Xiu returned to the villa where he had dinner and found that Shao Mingzhen and Miao Wentang had arrived and were chatting with Zi Yi.
"Mr. Tang!"
"Mr. Tang!"
Shao Mingzhen and Miao Wentang stood up at the same time, with a bit of cordiality in their tone.
Tang Xiu nodded to the two of them and said, "You need to wait a moment. I will ask someone to buy the items needed to carve the talisman. They will be delivered soon. Once I have carved the talisman, we can set off."
Shao Mingzhen and Miao Wentang looked at each other and remained silent.
Master Zi Yi smiled slightly and said: "Donor Tang, Pindao didn't expect that the two friends you invited were actually Donor Shao and Donor Miao. Pindao still knew them, but he didn't know that they had also come to Jingmen Island. Just now. While chatting with the two of them, I heard them talking about the redbud auction. If possible, can we wait until tomorrow before we go to the Dragon Sea Area?"
Delaying time
Tang Xiu frowned, feeling a little unhappy. But instead of showing it directly, he asked, "What is a redbud auction?"
Miao Wentang quickly explained: "The Bauhinia auction is a large-scale annual auction across the country. There will be some auction items that are useful to us ascetics. I have participated in several Bauhinia auctions, although it cost a lot of money. It’s a lot of money, but it’s also very rewarding. If we miss it this time, I’m afraid we’ll have to wait another year.”
"Items useful to ascetics?"
Tang Xiu pondered for a moment and then said slowly: "In that case, let's leave tomorrow. When is the redbud auction? Can I go with you to see it?"
Miao Wentang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Tang Xiu would disagree. Hearing Tang Xiu's inquiry, he immediately replied: "Two days ago, my friend on Jingmen Island gave me four tickets for the Bauhinia auction. Originally, I thought it was just me and Brother Shao, but now you two are included. seats, the tickets are just enough.”
Tang Xiu said: "That's good. I happen to have some spare money now. I'll go see if I can buy some things I need."
Miao Wentang and Shao Mingzhen looked at each other and smiled bitterly in their hearts. They wanted to be on good terms with Tang Xiu, but if they liked the same thing as Tang Xiu at the auction, they might not be able to compete with Tang Xiu.
