"Alright, no problem."
Chen Dali said he would host, and Luofeng naturally nodded his agreent. After all, this was also the bet they had just made: if Luofeng successfully added Duanmu Yunji’s WeChat, Chen Dali would treat him to a al.
But in this situation, did they still need to ask if Luofeng could add her on WeChat? It seed like she was already Luofeng’s. Of course, they didn’t know if they were joking or what, but the two were exchanging glances, and the situation definitely seed off.
But sothing occurred to Luofeng, and he spoke up, "Forget it, I’ll treat this al. Actually, I’ll let you in on a secret, I’ve known this beauty for a while, so it doesn’t count as your loss."
Luofeng rembered his Food Cashback Card. This was an opportunity.
"Damn it, that’s impressive, you knew her beforehand?" Lin Xiaoyun said enviously, looking over at Duanmu Yunji’s charming figure. "What good fortune."
Chen Dali said with a smile, "A bet is a bet, and we accept our loss no matter what."
Luofeng had a newfound respect for Chen Dali. He seed to be a man with a decent character.
"Alright then... Thank you for treating ," Luofeng replied. He could always use his cashback card later.
Chen Dali took the initiative to pull up WeChat, along with the QR code. "Brother Luo Feng, let’s connect on WeChat first. Xiaoyun and I are going to check out the other booths. Shall we call you later?"
Luofeng nodded and added both of their WeChats. "Let’s look around together then. I still need to get my dad an Audi Q7. It’s sothing he particularly arranged."
"An Audi?" asked Chen Dali, his curiosity piqued. Luofeng had bought a Ferrari 488, and yet his dad had his eyes on an Audi? Was he being that low-key?
Soon, the three of them arrived at the Audi booth.
The new Audi Q7 had its issues, such as an appearance that wasn’t imposing enough. Then there was the Audi Q5, often seen as the runt of the litter. It was also considered overpriced.
But Audi, well, wait two months after the launch, and isn’t it usually available at a 20% discount?
Around noon, Chen Dali spoke up, "Brother Luo Feng, how about we go for Mutton Hotpot?"
"Uh, sure," Luofeng didn’t refuse.
"Then let’s head straight there. Oh, do you want to invite that beauty salesperson from Ferrari?" Chen Dali asked.
"No need, just the three of us will go," Luofeng said, waving his hand in refusal.
"Exactly, we’re three n here, what do we need a woman for?" Lin Xiaoyun chid in, clearly not keen on feeling overshadowed.
「About half an hour later.」
Chen Dali and Lin Xiaoyun led Luofeng to a Quadrangle.
As they walked, Chen Dali said, "This place isn’t easy to find, you know. The rumor is the chef used to be a master in the palace."
Lin Xiaoyun added, "This place is indeed good. Honestly, within Capital City, I’d rank it the best."
In a private room of the Quadrangle, the three quickly settled in. A middle-aged man, about forty, approached to greet them, "Dali, what’s the plan for today?"
"Uncle, just arrange as usual. Also, for the Dipping Sauce, make it Shanghai-style. Today we’re mainly hosting this brother from Shanghai," Chen Dali spoke up. It seed he was quite familiar with the owner.
The proprietor looked at Luofeng and nodded. "Alright then. I’ll organize it for you, just wait a mont."
After the owner left, Lin Xiaoyun said, "Word is that Uncle Huang’s grandfather used to serve Old Buddha. His father inherited the craft, and Uncle Huang, in turn, inherited it from his father."
Chen Dali remarked, "It’s just a pity that I never got to experience his grandfather’s craftsmanship. I wonder what sort of flavors Old Buddha enjoyed back then."
「Soon, about ten minutes later.」
A Traditional Old Beijing Instant-boiled Mutton Copper Pot was placed on the table, alongside bright red, thin slices of mutton.
Lin Xiaoyun explained, "Uncle Huang’s mutton is all freshly sliced. While not as paper-thin as frozen mutton, the texture is better. Give it a try and see."
Indeed, frozen mutton is easier to slice, so generally, fresh mutton has to be cut a bit thicker.
Luofeng picked up a piece of mutton with his chopsticks and placed it in the bubbling copper pot, not imdiately fishing it out. After all, it wasn’t thin; it needed to be cooked a little longer. But it was important to ti it just right; overcooking it would ruin the taste.
Luofeng then tasted the Dipping Sauce with his chopsticks. It was indeed a good flavor.
When the mutton was ready, Luofeng combined it with the sauce in his mouth, and the taste, surprisingly, was very delicious. Much tastier than the ones he had eaten in Shanghai.
"Mhm, the dry chili Dipping Sauce isn’t bad," Luofeng nodded.
Luofeng then tried another piece of mutton with the sweet and spicy sauce. "Hmm, that’s good too. Not only is the Dipping Sauce well prepared, but the mutton also has no gay flavor... Of course, most people like that taste, but I think it’s better not to have it. Plus, the mutton has a subtle hint of fragrance."
Lin Xiaoyun laughed. "HAHAHA! I thought you wouldn’t be able to tell. This is precisely what limits Uncle Huang from expanding the business. His mutton all cos from his own farm over at XX; he has his own breeding grounds there. Due to the high cost of the farm and the secrecy of the breeding thods, they can’t scale up the operation."
Luofeng nodded but didn’t say much more. He continued to enjoy the good food.
During als, Luofeng generally didn’t like to talk much, but as he ate, he also started to organize his thoughts.
He had just satisfied two of the beauty’s desires. The first was that Duanmu Yunji didn’t want to add the other person, Li Jiahao, on WeChat; otherwise, Luofeng wouldn’t have confronted him. The second desire erged when Luofeng suggested he was seriously considering buying a Ferrari. Her desire then beca for Luofeng to actually make the purchase. After all, just because Luofeng said he would buy it didn’t an he definitely would, right? It would only be final once the contract was signed. At first, she didn’t expect Luofeng to buy it. But since he said he would, didn’t her primary desire then beco for Luofeng to truly buy it?
Two desires fulfilled, earning 10 Attribute Points.
One of the rewards was a Jump Money Card earning 0.1 yuan per second. Now, Luofeng was making sixty cents, or 0.6 yuan, per second.
0.6 yuan × 60 seconds × 60 minutes × 24 hours. That ant Luofeng’s daily earnings from the Jump Money Card would be 51,840 yuan. And calculating for thirty days a month, his monthly earnings from the card would be 1,555,200 yuan. For a year, that’s 12 months, and that would neatly sum up to 18,662,400 yuan. How delightful!
The other reward was another Food Ten-fold Cashback Card, but this one was for up to eight people. Luofeng could invite up to eight people to a gathering to share food. After sharing, his expenses would be subject to a one to ten tis cashback. This cashback multiple would depend on the scores these people gave the food. No goddess requirents, it seed.
And to invite more than seven people to a gathering, the best place in Capital City would be the Workers Stadium’s Center. Truth be told, Luofeng hadn’t really been to a bar yet. He’d heard they even had sothing called a shenglongtao there—Little Shenglong and the big one. A set could cost tens of thousands of yuan. Considering such expenses, the cost would hit a six-figure sum, right? And what if each person triggered a tenfold cashback? Wouldn’t that be absolutely delightful?
"Co on, Brother Feng, try the Secret Recipe Spicy Lamb Spine," Lin Xiaoyun introduced. "Their lamb spine is of dicinal quality, but the taste is also balanced, so it’s not only delicious but also nourishing for the body. Have a few more, and tonight you can arrange for a few long-legged Ferrari saleswon."
Luofeng was speechless. "You’re thinking too much, Brother Xiaoyun. I an it; although I knew her from before, we’re just acquaintances."
"I know, you’re just acquaintances for now. But once it gets to the stomach, it won’t be just an acquaintance," Lin Xiaoyun said with a smile.
Luofeng was speechless. Reaching the stomach? How many centiters would that be?
Luofeng paid no mind to the guy and started savoring the dicinal-quality Secret Recipe Spicy Lamb Spine. It indeed had a hint of dicinal taste, but it was almost untraceable. Indeed, they had managed to maintain both flavor and efficacy.
「More than an hour later,」 the Mutton Hotpot al was drawing to a close.
Chen Dali was the first to speak, "Brother Luo Feng, what do you plan to do this afternoon?"
Luofeng replied, "This afternoon, I plan to check out that Audi Q7. My old man says he wants to take one back ho this ti."
At this mont, Chen Dali hesitated before asking, "Brother Luo Feng, I’m not trying to pry, but I’m curious—if you don’t mind asking—is that six million yuan all yours?"
"Ah, yes," Luofeng nodded.
Chen Dali didn’t know what else to ask, seeing that they had just t. "One really can’t tell; you’re so young and already so successful. No wonder. Previously, in the Lin family group, they ntioned their attitude towards you after you saved Tuan Tuan..."
"Oh? What attitude?" Luofeng inquired.
Lin Xiaoyun rushed to say, "You must know my cousin’s identity isn’t simple, right?"
"Oh? Is this where Wang Duo Yu’s act cos in? Hundred millionaire? Should I stop pretending? Shall I lay all my cards out on the table?" Luofeng said with a laugh.
"Um!"
"Don’t worry, I can keep my composure," Luofeng said, glancing at Lin Xiaoyun’s darkening face.
"That’s not what I ant, but... your family’s condition is not bad either; indeed, you don’t need to curry favor with my cousin," Lin Xiaoyun said.
"I never thought about those things. I believe in making friends genuinely. It’s not like I could arrange for a mall elevator to collapse just to strike up a conversation with your cousin, right?"
"Exactly, exactly!" Lin Xiaoyun nodded vigorously. No one in the family doubted that Luofeng had saved Tuan Tuan.
"HAHAHA! How about from now on I call you ’Bao Pi Long’?" Luofeng laughed.
"Huh?"
"What does that an?"
To Chen Dali and Lin Xiaoyun, it sounded like an insult.
"No, it’s a dialect term. You know about the nine sons of the dragon, ’Pi’, right? It ans treasure. Put together, ’Bao Pi Long’ ans treasure, expressing goodwill," Luofeng explained. "Exactly, Bao Pi Long!"
However, suddenly, Lin Xiaoyun tapped his phone screen, and Tuan Tuan’s voice ca from the speaker, "Uncle Xiaoyun is Bao Pi Long!"
"Tuan Tuan!"
Lin Wanting’s voice also ca through.
Of course, Tuan Tuan knew what was happening; she had wanted to see her uncle eating Mutton Hotpot and had turned on the video right at the start.
"I always feel like it’s an insult!" Lin Xiaoyun pondered for a mont, looking at Luofeng with a hint of suspicion.
