"Boss, the Kongming Silver you mentioned …"
At the Old Willow Barbecue Restaurant on Temple Street, Zuoqiu Yongjie opened the bottle cap and placed the beer in front of Zuo Yi. He asked curiously, "Is it really that valuable?"
Zuo Yi was admiring the clay figurine in his hand. He nodded and said, "Yes."
After leaving the Treasure Pavilion, he bought a gift for Bao'er on the old street outside the City God Temple.
This gift was a little special. It was a clay figurine made from the little girl's photo. It was made by an old craftsman and looked lively and cute.
Although it was a little expensive and he had to wait for a long time, Zuo Yi felt it was totally worth it.
Then Zuoqiu Yongjie insisted on treating him to supper, so they came to this famous barbecue restaurant.
Zuo Yi put away the clay figurine and continued, "You can help me spread the news. Whoever has such a thing can come to me."
"That's easy."
Zuoqiu Yongjie patted his chest. "Just leave it to me!"
Zuo Yi smiled and raised the beer bottle. "Cheers."
"Cheers!"
They finished a bottle of beer.
Zuoqiu Yongjie suddenly laughed. "That old man is really blind. He deserves to be unlucky. Not only did he lose such a big deal, but he was also kicked out of the Treasure Pavilion. There will be no place for him in Shanghai Beach in the future!"
Zuo Yi asked, "Is Yun Na from the Zeng Family?"
"The daughter-in-law of the Zeng Family …"
Zuoqiu Yongjie sighed. "Sister Na is quite unfortunate."
It was the first time Zuo Yi saw such an expression on Zuoqiu Yongjie's face.
Yun Na was born in the Yun Family of Shanghai. The Yun Family was not a rich family, but they were quite influential in Shanghai. They had a long-term marriage alliance with the Zeng Family and had a very close relationship.
The eldest daughter of the Yun family had been betrothed to Ceng Hongquan, the eldest son of the seventeenth generation of the Ceng family. The two were childhood sweethearts and had a deep relationship. Although it was an arranged marriage, it was still a happy marriage.
Ceng Hongquan was a prodigy nurtured by the Xia Chaolian Alliance. Four years ago, he entered the Wasteland World to guard the Dragon City Fortress. In the end, he died in a defensive battle a year later.
The Zeng Family's most outstanding talent had fallen!
Originally, when Ceng Hongquan died, his engagement with Yun Na would no longer exist. However, Yun Na carried Ceng Hongquan's ashes and married into the Zeng family on the date that they had agreed upon.
This incident caused a sensation in Shanghai!
"I've known Brother Quan and Sister Na since we were young …"
Zuoqiu Yongjie was a little sad. "Actually, Sister Na really didn't have to do that. Brother Quan's spirit in heaven didn't want to see it, but no one could convince her."
As compensation, the Zeng family let Yun Na manage the Treasure Pavilion until now.
Although Yun Na wasn't the top figure among the younger generation in Shanghai, everyone respected her very much. Even when Zuoqiu Yongjie was at his craziest, he didn't go to the Treasure Pavilion to cause trouble. He even helped Yun Na solve a lot of problems.
At this moment, the barbecue shop's waiter delivered a large plate of freshly grilled mutton skewers.
"Let's not talk about this anymore."
Zuoqiu Yongjie waved his hand and said, "Boss, try the red willow mutton here. This restaurant in Shanghai has the most authentic flavor."
"Okay."
Zuo Yi picked up a skewer of mutton and tasted it. The meat was fragrant and tender. It was really good.
Woof!
Teck, who had been squatting by the table, barked and looked at Zuo Yi pitifully. Woof, I'm so hungry. I want to eat meat!
Zuo Yi didn't give it any mutton. Instead, he took out a strip of Demon Bull Jerky from his space ring and threw it to this guy.
Teck happily hugged the beef strip and ate it heartily.
Zuoqiu Yongjie smiled and said, "Junior Bao 'er, your puppy is so cute. I want to raise a similar one."
Similar?
Zuo Yi actually wanted to tell him, "It's not that I'm looking down on you, but you really can't afford it!"
But forget it. Since he had treated him to supper, he wouldn't hurt his pride.
He had to be kind.
The barbecue shop's waiter continued to serve scallops, oysters, squid, chicken wings, beef, and so on, filling the table.
Zuo Yi and Zuoqiu Yongjie were both Extraordinary Ones. Their appetites were incomparable to ordinary people, so there was no possibility of wasting food.
Zuoqiu Yongjie was an interesting person with a genuine temperament. It wasn't tiring to talk to him at all. The two of them should be half-master and half-disciple, and it would never be boring to sit and drink and chat.
When they were drunk, Zuo Yi asked the waiter to bring them a clean empty plate. Then, he placed five slices of meat on the plate.
He said to Zuoqiu Yongjie, "I'll treat you to something good."
What meat was this? It was the tenderloin of a Demon Bull!
Zuoqiu Yongjie, who was a little tipsy, stared at the meat, but his focus wasn't on the meat itself. He swallowed and asked, "Boss, can you teach me how to make something out of nothing?"
He had already witnessed Zuo Yi's miraculous method of making things out of thin air, so he was really curious about it.
Because it was clearly not something that could be explained by magic. With Zuo Yi's status, it was impossible for him to play such a low-level trick.
Zuo Yi raised his hand to call the waiter over. At the same time, he replied with a smile, "I really can't teach you this."
He couldn't possibly give him a space ring, right?
He didn't even have one for his dearest baby yet!
"Alright."
Zuoqiu Yongjie was deeply disappointed that he couldn't learn such a pretentious trick.
"Just grill it to medium well."
Zuo Yi handed the plate with the Demon Bull's tenderloin to the waiter who had just come over. "I don't want any other seasonings other than salt."
"Yes, sir."
Zuo Yi and Zuoqiu Yongjie's table was worthy of being called a rich table. Of course, the shop could satisfy such a small request.
The waiter immediately brought the beef to the barbecue counter and said to the barbecue master, "The customer at table 5 brought their own ingredients, so please grill it to medium well. Just add salt and no other seasonings."
The barbecue master glanced at the tenderloin. "Put it down."
He arranged the skewers on the grill to make enough space.
A piece of tenderloin was the size of a palm and less than two fingers thick. It was a fresh pink color and looked very tempting.
When the barbecue master picked up the meat with tongs and placed it on the grill, when the heat of the charcoal began to grill it, a strange meat aroma suddenly spread out.
Gulp!
The barbecue master couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He was dumbstruck as he looked at the surface of the tenderloin that gradually turned brown.
Old Liu Barbecue Restaurant had been operating on Temple Street for several decades and paid great attention to reputation. The ingredients used were all of the best quality. Although the price was more expensive than other places, it was completely reasonable.
He had worked in this restaurant for more than twenty years. He didn't know how much meat he had grilled, but he had also grilled all kinds of ingredients for countless customers. However, he had never seen such a special dish.
This aroma was soul-stirring. It could easily evoke the most primitive desire for meat hidden in a person's genes.
The barbecue master desperately swallowed his saliva. It took a great deal of willpower to resist the urge to steal a bite.
It was simply killing him!
