"Who says I can't afford it? It's just a fish. I'll let First Miss taste it first. If it's not, I won't pay. "
Helian Qiming knew that he had been tricked, but he still wanted to renege. As long as First Miss said it didn't taste good, he could go back on his word. If First Miss thought it tasted good, then his money wouldn't be wasted.
"Okay, then let First Miss have a taste."
As he spoke, Du Feng shaved a piece of meat from the fish. This piece of meat was very thin and cold. He cut it with a jade knife and placed it on a chilled jade plate.
The little girl had been hungry for a long time, and she was quite particular. Seeing that Du Feng was using jade utensils, she took out a pair of jade chopsticks and ate the thin piece of fish. The piece of meat melted in her mouth, and it was full of fragrance. The combination of freshness and fragrance made one feel refreshed. It was indeed good stuff.
"Delicious, delicious, I want more!"
Originally, Helian Qiming was waiting for First Miss to say it didn't taste good, so he could take the opportunity to teach Yuchi Jinhai and Du Feng a lesson. In the end, the little girl praised it after eating it. She also wanted to say it didn't taste good, but she couldn't lie to her heart. If she said it didn't taste good, then there wouldn't be a second piece. Now that First Miss said it tasted good, he could only bite the bullet and buy it. Although a red snapper wasn't big, such thin slices should be enough to eat for quite a while.
"What are you waiting for? Pay up. My fish is 10,000 Divine Stones per piece."
Helian Qiming was still waiting for Du Feng to cut the fish, but Du Feng made him pay first. He had already eaten the previous piece, so he had to pay first. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a second piece.
"You, you're cheating. What kind of fish is worth 10,000 Divine Stones per piece?"
Helian Qiming was furious when he heard this. Wasn't this a scam? 10,000 Divine Stones per piece. How much would the whole fish cost?
"Why can't you afford it? If you can't afford it, then stop pretending. It's not that we don't want to eat it, but you can't afford it. "
As Du Feng spoke, he was about to put away the red snapper. His knife technique was special, and the red snapper was very lively. Even if it was stabbed, it would not die at all. It could be thrown back into the small world of the necklace to continue growing.
"I want to eat, I want to eat!"
Seeing that Du Feng was going to take back the red snapper, the little girl was unwilling. She didn't care how much it cost. She just wanted to eat it. With her making such a fuss, Helian Qiming was in a difficult position. If it was ten thousand per fish, he could still afford it. But ten thousand for a piece of fish was asking for his life.
Helian Qiming's heart ached terribly, and he was considering whether he should continue to fork out more money. At this moment, the young master from the Sacred City looked at him again. Being stared at like this, Helian Qiming was so frightened that he hurriedly took out his money and paid for the previous piece of fish.
"Yes, that's more like it."
"To tell you the truth, I used the juice of a thousand and one precious medicinal fruits to raise this fish. Just the cost alone is worth the price."
"If it wasn't for the young masters and mistresses from the Sacred City coming today, I wouldn't even be willing to take it out."
Du Feng was really good at bullsh * tting. What did he mean by using the juice of a thousand and one precious medicinal fruits to raise it? It was clearly just bought from a night market stall. If it was really the juice of a thousand and one precious medicinal fruits, how many fruits would he need to make a pond to raise the fish? Moreover, it wasn't used to marinate the fish, but to raise it, he would have to change it frequently. If he calculated it this way, the cost was indeed not low.
"Ah, no wonder it's so delicious. Cut it faster."
After the little girl ate the second piece, she felt that it was even more delicious. Actually, there was indeed a plant's fragrance in the fish. Moreover, that fragrance was very complicated, as if there really were over a thousand types of it. The more one tasted it, the more fragrant it was.
Why did it have such an effect? It was because the towering tree had absorbed a bit of the essence of all the plants in the small world. It was the pillar of the small world, and it could be said that it supported the entire ecosystem inside. Moreover, there was the wood spirit girl, which naturally made the fish even more delicious.
Actually, a thousand and one kinds of plants was already considered a small number. There were probably tens of thousands of plants in the small world, including all kinds of plants, fruit trees, flowers, and so on. This kind of natural fragrance mixed together was something that no seasoning could replace.
"Is it really that delicious?"
The young master from the Sacred City really did pamper his sister. But seeing her eat it so happily, he was a little curious. His question scared Helian Qiming so much that he hurriedly paid another ten thousand divine stones. Du Feng smiled and shaved off another piece of fish.
The fish melted in his mouth, and as expected, it was full of fragrance. The combination of fragrance and freshness overlapped. At first, it was just the taste of seafood, but then there was the fragrance of plants. From the mouth to the nose, and from the nose to the head, it made one feel very comfortable all over.
"Mm, good stuff. Cut it all, I'll buy it. "
He had already asked Helian Qiming to pay twenty thousand divine stones, so this young master from the Sacred City obviously didn't want to make things difficult for him. He directly took out a crystal card. This crystal card happened to have a limit of one million divine stones. Without even blinking, he directly handed it to Du Feng.
"Alright, please take a look, dear customer."
Du Feng quickly shaved off the red snapper. There were exactly one hundred and eight pieces. The other party's crystal card and divine stones added up to a total of one million and twenty thousand divine stones. Why did he cut it into one hundred and eight pieces? It wasn't to give away six pieces, but to make sure that the thickness was right, and the taste was the best without wasting anything. This was a kind of professional ethics.
The young master from the Sacred City had very good eyes. With one look, he knew that there were six extra pieces. So he looked at Helian Qiming and asked him to make up for the sixty thousand divine stones. Because he used large crystal cards, he wasn't willing to bring small change when he went out.
Because of the matter with Du Feng, Helian Qiming had to fork out eighty thousand divine stones. It hurt so much that his heart was bleeding. But he had no choice. He couldn't afford to offend the young masters and young mistresses from the Sacred City. Moreover, he had relied on their help to break through to the God Thearch realm.
Before he left, the elders in his family had already instructed him to treat the young masters and young mistresses from the Sacred City well at all costs. Now, he had to fork out eighty thousand divine stones, but let the young master take out a crystal card worth one million divine stones. When he returned, he had to discuss with his family whether or not he should give the one million divine stones back.
Right now, he hated Yuchi Jinhai the most. If he hadn't brought some friends over for a meal, such a scene wouldn't have happened. If they hadn't made things difficult for Yuchi Jinhai's aunt, such a thing wouldn't have happened.
