The next day, Dai Xuan asked the carpenters who renovated the courtyard to make ten two-meter-tall antique shelves and two bookshelves out of mahogany. More than ten carpenters worked together and spent three days to finish it. Dai Xuan took another night to put the antique shelves and bookshelves into the Mystic Jade Space.
Several trucks were parked in the cattle farm rented by Zhao Jun in Changping, the suburbs. The trucks were loaded with crates. Zhao Jun was receiving the goods from the truck with his men. The unloading workers were unloading the crates from the truck. The empty space in the cattle farm was filled with rows of crates, occupying two to three thousand square meters.
"How many goods have arrived?" Zhao Jun asked a young man who was doing registration.
"This is the last trip. There are a total of 100,000 wine bottles and 10,000 wine jars.”。
Zhao Jun nodded. He held a cigarette in his right hand and walked around the cattle farm. He looked at the empty cowshed and thought, If only there was another batch of cattle! He had to ask Dai Xuan if he had any more cows tonight.
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Jun drove a brand new black Santana to Dai Xuan's new courtyard house. He was wearing a pair of black trousers with a white shirt tucked in. His hair was split into a quarter and he had a brown leather bag under his left armpit. He looked like a successful person.
He walked into the courtyard and saw Dai Xuan watching the workers work with his hands behind his back. He walked over and handed a cigarette to Dai Xuan. Zhao Jun said,"What's there to see? Let's go eat."
"Alright, then let's go!" Dai Xuan replied.”
The two of them went out and got into the car. Dai Xuan sat in the front passenger seat. He turned his head and asked Zhao Jun," Your dad hasn't returned from his business trip yet?" As Zhao Jun drove the car, he said," He should be back. I haven't been home for the past two days. He said that I'll be away for half a month. He should be back by now. Liu Zhendong is treating us today at the Jinmen Hotel in Qianmen."”。
Dai Xuan nodded." I heard that the Manchu Han Imperial Feast is quite delicious. Is there any place I can eat it?"”
Zhao Jun smiled and said," There are hundreds of dishes for that meal. It's really troublesome to prepare. It takes a lot of effort to prepare. I heard that you have to order it a week in advance."”。
Dai Xuan said," Help me ask around. If you have any, book a table. I don't have any hobbies. I'm only interested in good food and drinks."”，Zhao Jun said," No problem. I'll ask someone. Also, your wine bottles have arrived. They're piled up at Changping's cattle farm. When are you going to get someone to move them?"”。
The two of them sat in the car and chatted all the way. There were many cars on the road, as well as pedestrians on bicycles. There were also human-powered tricycles shuttling around everywhere. There were customers on the tricycles, and the driver of the tricycle-cart shouted,"Make way, make way." There were also traffic police officers in white uniforms directing traffic at the crossroads.
Zhao Jun drove slowly and carefully avoided the crowd. Half an hour later, he arrived at the Jinmen Hotel.
There were already five or six people sitting in the private room on the second floor. They all knew each other.
"You're here. Hurry up and sit down. We've been waiting for the two of you.”Liu Zhendong stood up and greeted them.
Zhao Jun and Dai Xuan sat down. Zhao Jun said to a person called Chen Xiaojun across the table,"Why do you look so sad? Liu Xiaoyun? It didn't look like it. There were no scratches on his face!”。
Chen Xiaojun said," Of course not. The old man has been transferred to Shanghai to work. We have to move there in two months. We're just feeling annoyed. We're unfamiliar with the place and people there. How can we be carefree and happy?"”。
Zhao Jun smiled and said,"Forget it!" That's a place where beautiful women come from." The people in the private room smiled and congratulated Chen Xiaojun.
Ten minutes later, the dishes were served one after another. There was Tianjin Pig Knuckle, White Jade Crystal Chicken, Red Braised Donkey Meat, Northern Style Stuffed Tofu, and so on. The wine was Mao Wine. Everyone was served a bottle first, and everyone ate and drank. Dai Xuan used three or two glasses of wine. Now that everyone knew how much he could drink, no one dared to compete with him. Every time he drank, he would drink a glass. It would be a joke if you took a small glass and competed with a big glass.
After dinner, everyone sat on the sofa and chatted. Liu Zhendong said to Dai Xuan,""I have an older brother who has recently contracted a strange illness. His body is listless and weak. Even if he goes to the hospital, he won't be able to find out the cause. I heard that you have some medical skills.”
Dai Xuan said,"Sure, I have time tomorrow."”。
Liu Zhendong made an appointment with him to pick him up tomorrow morning.
At around eight o'clock in the evening, at Zhao Jun's house, Old Zhao returned from his business trip. Auntie Li saw him and said in surprise,"You shameless old man. Why are you still dyeing your hair at your age? Do you want to hook up with young girls outside?”，Old Zhao said,"What nonsense are you talking about? When did I have hair?"”，"Then why did your hair turn black?" Auntie Li asked.”，" It turned black on its own," Old Zhao said." It might have taken the medicine Dai Xuan gave it. I feel much better recently, and my spirit is much better than before."”
"Is there such a good medicine?" Auntie Li asked. Wouldn't it become an immortal pill?" She didn't know that although it wasn't an immortal pill, it was still a panacea. Its effects weren't something ordinary people could imagine.
The next morning, Liu Zhendong brought Dai Xuan to the Second People's Hospital. In a ward, he saw his elder brother, who was about 30 years old. His face was thin and he looked very pale.
Liu Zhendong pointed at his elder brother on the hospital bed and introduced him to Dai Xuan."This is my cousin, Liu Bin." Then, he introduced Dai Xuan to his cousin Liu Bin. Liu Bin nodded at Dai Xuan. Dai Xuan looked at Liu Bin on the bed and said,"I think your illness involves your privacy. It might not be convenient to talk about it here.”
Liu Bin listened to Dai Xuan's words and thought," What privacy can I have? I didn't do anything bad." However, he still wanted to hear the meaning of Dai Xuan's words. So, he found an empty place outside the inpatient building and sat down on a bench.
Dai Xuan said,"I saw that someone had placed a Gu worm on you. Have you offended anyone or gone to any strange places?"”，Dai Xuan discovered that someone had placed a Gu worm on Liu Bin's body. This was definitely not done by someone for no reason. Perhaps Liu Bin had provoked some karma and was released by someone.
Liu Bin thought for a moment and said,"I don't think so!" I just came back from the countryside in Miaojiang Province a few years ago. After I came back, I've been working obediently and haven't gone anywhere. Who can I offend?”
Dai Xuan said,"I see that your Gu worm has been planted by someone for a few years. Did you provoke some evil fate over there?"”，Dai Xuan could also treat Liu Bin's illness, but he was not related to Liu Bin. According to the rules of the cultivation world, he could not interfere rashly, or else he would break the rules of the "Dao". Although the Gu worm that the other party used was not worth mentioning, rules were rules, and he could not interfere casually.
Liu Bin heard Dai Xuan's words and said in annoyance,""Ten years ago, I was in a remote mountainous area in Miaojiang Province. I became an educated youth in the countryside and met a local girl. When I came back a few years ago, I promised her that I would go back and pick her up. However, I have been busy for the past few years and have not had the chance to go.”
Dai Xuan said,"It should be her."”，Then, he took out a medicine bottle from his pocket and said," I have a pill here. It can help you recover, but it can only last for a month. You have to go to Miaojiang to find her. Only then can you solve this problem. You can be discharged today. The hospital can't treat this kind of illness.”。
Liu Bin took the bottle and nodded.""Alright, thank you for your advice. I should go there too.”。
After coming out of the hospital, Dai Xuan asked Liu Zhendong to send him to the Friendship Store. He still had more than 20,000 yuan in foreign exchange certificates. He wanted to spend it all today and go back.
He bought some antique calligraphy and paintings, some shoes and bags, and more than ten Swiss watches from the Friendship Store. He didn't know what brand it was, so he just bought whatever he liked. In the end, he spent more than 20,000 yuan of foreign exchange certificates and returned to the guest house with the things.
He called Professor Xia at night to ask if there was any progress. Professor Xia said that he found some relevant records, but the information was not comprehensive enough to determine the specific address. He was still collecting information.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, Dai Xuan went to the cattle farm in the suburbs of Changping. He put away the crates containing wine bottles and wine jars in the cattle farm and then returned to the guest house.
The next night, at around eight o'clock, Dai Xuan was watching TV while smoking a cigar in his room when Zhao Jun came over.
"Do you still have that cow? They wanted to buy another batch and were willing to raise the price by 20 cents.”Zhao Jun asked.
"There are still about 600 more," Dai Xuan said.”。
He still had more than 3,000 cows in his space, but most of them were pregnant cows. He couldn't sell them. In addition, he had to leave some for the supply and marketing cooperative in Guan City, so he calculated that he could only sell about 600 cows.
"Alright, I'll inform them later." Also, the Manchu Han Imperial Feast has been booked. It's at Jingxi Hotel on August 5th. Who do you want to invite? There are 108 dishes!”
"There are so many dishes?" Dai Xuan asked in surprise. I only have Professor Xia and a few of his friends here. Including your family of four, Uncle Ho's family, and Liu Zhendong, there are at most a dozen people.”。
Zhao Jun said,"I'll ask my old man for his opinion. If he knows that we're so corrupt, he'll definitely scold us."”，After saying that, he used the phone on the desk in his room to call home. After talking for a few minutes, he hung up the phone and turned to the sofa."The old man said he would go. He still has a few comrades over there.”。
Dai Xuan nodded and gave Professor Xia a call. Professor Xia happily agreed and said that there were six or seven people on his side.
Time passed quickly. On August 5th, Dai Xuan sold another 600 cows in the past two days, earning a total of 3 million.
At 6 pm, in a quaint and elegant private room of Jingxi Hotel, there was a round table in the middle that could seat more than 20 people. The table was full of people, including Old Zhao's family and his comrades, Uncle Ho's family, Professor Xia's wife, granddaughter, four old professors, Dai Xuan and Liu Zhendong.
The table was filled with dishes. There were 108 dishes that couldn't be finished in one go. In order to avoid wastage, only 40 dishes were served. They were all made with exotic delicacies and were complicated and time-consuming to make. The other dishes that were more ordinary were not served. If they were too wasteful, so many old men who were used to hard work and plain life would curse at them.
Dai Xuan took four jars of spirit peach wine and finished them all. The old men had never drunk this kind of wine before. The color of the wine was red like amber, and the fragrance of the wine was intoxicating. It was as if it could seep into the pores of the whole body, so they all drank a few more glasses. This group of old men were both cultured and martial, but they were evenly matched when it came to drinking.
