"My lords, I am muscular and not good at anything. I am good at playing these board and card games."
"What are you talking about, Brother Zhuang?"
"It's raining, Boxer, Brother Zhuang, this bitch is scolding you. What's going on? Can you hear me clearly?"
"I've almost learned lip reading, Xiuji. From now on, be careful when you talk nonsense."
"If you want to understand our bullshit, you should learn bullshit and lip reading."
In the dilapidated alleys, fat stray cats jumped by, and neon signs flickered in a blinding manner.
Before Gu He and Elizabeth entered the fish pond, they heard the undisguised laughter and curses of several men inside. Sakai Shukichi, Boxer, and a few strong brothers who came, they were playing cards and spanking.
.
Brother Zhuang probably heard the news that they were back, so he came over tonight to have a look.
Gu He really couldn't tell whether it would be better for Sister Vivian or these rotten people.
"Angel, I like the atmosphere of the streets very much." Elizabeth said excitedly, "You don't even know how uncomfortable it is for me in a hypocritical place like a garden party."
She strode forward with her sword in hand, passed the fiery red curtain above the door, and walked into the fish pond one step ahead of the angel.
There was a sudden silence in the lively izakaya, and the few bad guys playing cards at the bar stopped and looked around.
The fat face of Lao Fan behind the bar was even more frozen. Gu He could see that Lao Fan was already scolding him in his heart.
Why did you provoke her to come to the door? The guy in the dungeon is still there. You want to die but I still want to live. Get out of here. Get out of here.
That must be what he was scolding.
"Good evening." Elizabeth greeted her familiarly.
She had been in many bars in Kabukicho these days, and she knew exactly what kind of behavior she should maintain.
She naturally sat down on a high stool next to the bar, placed the sword on the bar, "Lao Fan, two glasses of sake."
No special introduction is needed, let alone pretentiousness. The nickname is the best honorific. Everyone is a drinker. The middleman bar is such a place.
Fan Debao didn't say anything for the time being. He just did what he wanted. He poured two goblets of sake but didn't take out the wine rack.
"Well, uh..." Gu He also sat down and faced their different looks. I really wasn't the one who brought her here...
Brother Zhuang didn't know how dangerous this situation was, but he was still very happy, "Sterling... red-haired Liz!"
Although Brother Zhuang has ten times the rumbling muscles, he has always been good at making friends with others and seizing opportunities. "Red Rain House, this one!" He gave a thumbs up on his right hand, which was also extremely muscular.
But after all, I don’t see Brother Zhuang hanging the neon sign of the Game Gang on the outer wall of the warehouse of Red Rain House.
"It's okay now." Elizabeth nodded. She had visited Brother Zhuang in the Game Gang before.
"Haha..." Sakai Shuuyoshi looked at her and then at Gu He, "Okay, I'm inspired..."
"Maybe Miss Sakai put on a mask." Boxer had a special opinion, "Just change your clothes."
"Hua Qing? Who is she? She doesn't have such acting skills." Sakai Shukichi was really annoyed when he heard that, "She doesn't even look like herself when she pretends to be herself."
Fan Debao gave them a look, telling them to stop talking nonsense, don't provoke her, and let her sit for a while before leaving.
It was rare for Gu He to agree with Lao Fan. Brother Zhuang would not dare to make a mistake. Boxer used to be a person who didn't talk much except when singing, and only Shukichi Sakai was the talker. But now he got inspiration and took out the paper.
He wrote nothing in his notes and said nothing.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth was looking around the living room, where there was a TV and a sofa.
That old fabric sofa gave her an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
Gu He noticed that Goose was paying attention to the sofa, and his heart suddenly rose in his throat...
He already knew that her J-level program was retrospection, and he knew what capabilities it had.
If an extreme situation occurs, Goose can't think about it for a moment, runs to the sofa to sit down, and then turns on the traceback...
Elizabeth withdrew her gaze, looked at the arrangements on the bar, and noticed a thermos cup placed on a pile of wine glasses. The wine bottles were somewhat unique, and there was a plastic jar filled with wolfberries next to it.
She didn't know why, but she felt a sense of intimacy when she looked at the thermos cup.
Suddenly, Jianbao, who had been silent for a long time, said in an electronically synthesized voice: "Since you like it, you should buy this thermos cup. It may be the most valuable thing here."
Elizabeth couldn't help but smile, and asked half-jokingly: "Lao Fan, are you selling the thermos cup?"
Anyway, it looks friendly. If you can buy it, it would be good to use it to hold water for drinking.
Under the cover of sunglasses, Gu He glared at Jianbao, which seemed to know that it was something he valued...
This rare sword is really difficult to deal with. It seems to have been neutralized, but it is actually lying in wait and will explode at any time.
It just has a prejudice against Cowherd, right?
This thermos cup has followed him since the first day he came to the fish pond, and he has developed feelings for it. And every time he contacted him, he would take this thermos cup. If Elizabeth bought it, who knew what would happen?
What.
In addition, this will be the leading stick of the thermos cup gang, and I don’t want anyone to buy it.
"Actually, that's mine, I won't sell it." Gu He could only say, but he didn't reach out to take it for fear of revealing the master's shadow.
"Oh!" Elizabeth now understood where the intimacy came from, but she didn't understand that a handsome man actually used a thermos cup.
"I would like to sell this boy to you as well." Fan Debao said, "It's annoying to look at."
Seeing that Old Fan had spoken while Brother Zhuang and the others continued to play cards quietly, Elizabeth was not in a hurry to get to know them. She took a sip of sake and said, "The wine is very fragrant, Old Fan. I heard that you are a food chef."
"Not bad." Fan Debao replied calmly.
Not to mention because of the guy in the dungeon, Gu He knew very well that Lao Fan didn't have a good impression of rich people. In the past, Lao Fan always held a conspiracy theory attitude when it came to the goose matter.
If the red-haired Liz hadn't gained some reputation and acted as an intermediary, Miss Caiyin would have treated her as normal, and there was no need to please or offend the other party. Lao Fan would definitely have a bad face, and he really wasn't making it up.
"I'm looking for a weird food maker recently." Elizabeth directly explained her purpose.
The middleman bar is a source of information, and the boss knows a lot about it. It is how to bridge the gap and do business. The question is whether the boss is willing to pay attention to it, and whether the fish pond has such resources.
During these days, Taoist priest Yu Cheng has tried hard to find it through various channels on Dongtu Street, but has not gained much.
"Then you are looking in the wrong place." Lao Fan immediately replied, "As far as I know, the food-preparing man is just a legend."
Elizabeth was silent. Even if the other party knew something, how could she tell him so easily? She was not that kind of regular customer.
"I'm looking for extraordinary food that can improve and regulate nerve damage." She added, "I'm not looking for a complete cure. I wonder, Lao Fan, if you have anything homemade for sale?"
Some middlemen bars also sell things, some are self-operated goods, and some are sold as middlemen to make a profit on the price difference.
"What we have here are all ordinary things. I used the Q-level program 'Tonic Food' to make them. They are not to mention regulating the nerves, but are tonics for comprehensively regulating the body. They are not unusual at all. They are similar to what you are drinking now.
This glass of sake is just a local product. If you buy it from me, you might as well go to Dongtu Street to have more choices."
Vanderbilt replied while wiping his wine glass.
Gu He and the others were all surprised that Lao Fan was always bragging, but he didn't say that his stuff was not good or his vision was wrong.
But now, this fat guy really doesn't want to do red-haired Liz's business.
However, Elizabeth was determined to gain something tonight, at least to get involved with Licai Fish Pond.
Anyone can come to the Middleman Bar, but why can’t she, the red-haired Lizzie? If she really can’t, then I’ll hate Lizzie.
"As long as it has a tonic effect." Elizabeth said, "I heard that the stuff in the fish pond is good enough."
"Lao Fan, why don't you pick one for her, just one that's cooked..."
Gu He saw Elizabeth's determination and gradually figured out her temperament. She was the kind of middle-class girl who was determined to break through the south wall.
But only this kind of middle school student can do the kind of things she did.
That's okay, he was the one who brought the customers here, and he gets a commission on both the ordinary and extraordinary things sold in the fish pond.
Vanderbilt didn't put it off anymore, turned around and walked to the wine cabinet in the kitchen. He took out a small black ceramic wine jar and placed it on the bar. It was heavy and heavy. It should be filled with wine.
In the past, for Kumiko, Lao Fan, a food cook, and Lao Cai, a doctor, had been studying neurological treatment for a while.
Although there are no results, it is really not a problem to get some nourishing food.
"This jar of wine is my masterpiece."
Everyone heard Lao Fan start to play, and this was the Lao Fan they were familiar with, "soothing the mind, nourishing the mind, and replenishing everything. One cup every night to maintain high-quality sleep. If a person sleeps well, his body will naturally be well, and his mind will be well."
It’s wider.”
Elizabeth looked at the ceramic wine jar and couldn't help but look forward to it.
She also knows that she has always been lucky, will she buy another treasure now...
"This jar of wine will not be sold separately. Fish pond business has always been fair." Lao Fan added, "Thirty thousand yuan."
What the hell! As soon as Gu He heard the price, he knew the wine was not going to be any better.
Thirty thousand yuan is not more expensive than a bottle of Fenggu wine. Considering how stingy Lao Fan is, he is really that good, and the starting price is only 100,000 yuan. It may be that ordinary wine has some sleeping pills added to it, just to kill the goose.
It is better to drink more wolfberry water to take this supplement... Jianbao is indeed a sword with great achievements...
Thirty thousand yuan! Elizabeth hesitated immediately. Before, she would not even blink and would not think about the issue of money. But now that she is the head of the house, she realizes that firewood and rice are expensive, and everything in Red Rain House has to be spent.
Where's the money?
Just, 30,000 yuan...
Come to think of it, I have never opened even a bottle of expensive wine at Li Cai. Although Angel doesn't care, what others think.
Maybe this is the only stepping stone, and the angels have said that Lao Fan is also a strange person.
And this is Lao Fan’s proud work.
"Can you give me a discount?" Elizabeth has learned how to bargain, and now she bargains every time.
"I own an izakaya, can I sell you expensive wine?" Lao Fan refused to give in, "It's only 30,000 yuan. If you want it, take it away."
Elizabeth took a deep breath before finally nodding, "Okay, thirty thousand, I'll buy it."
She didn't bring so much money with her, so she would ask Hongyu's people to make up for it later. She put her identity and reputation there, and she wanted to make connections. Lao Fan was not afraid that she would owe money, so he handed her the wine jar.
.
"Hmm." Elizabeth held the jar of wine in both hands. She didn't know if it was worth it, and she was a little concerned about the gain and loss for a moment.
If you tell me, others won't believe it. "Princess Seth" would be so worried about 30,000 yuan.
Gu He saw this in his eyes and even defected to the Red Rain Investigation Team. He also went to the Acropolis Mountains to eat and fish every day. It was a good idea. He had to keep a tight grip on his hundreds of thousands, so as not to be swept away by the flapping of the goose's wings.
Went away.
Absolutely not, he still has to save money and become a good person...
Elizabeth bought extraordinary food, stayed for a while, and asked old Fan some things about Dongdong Street.
But Lao Fan wasn't very enthusiastic, and everyone didn't talk much. Angel was sitting aside coolly, and she didn't expect to get to know each other after just one visit, so that was pretty much it for tonight.
At that moment, she said goodbye to everyone, took the sword in one hand and the wine jar in the other, and walked out of the fish pond.
Gu He saw her off and walked her out of the alley. He breathed a sigh of relief. Once again, there was no danger.
But you must be more careful next time. It's not Judy Dickinson, it's Jian Bao. This sword is very insidious.
"Angel, I'll come again next time." Elizabeth said to him before walking into the commercial vehicle, "I'm very happy today."
"Yeah." Gu He was noncommittal. You are happy, but I have mixed emotions.
But he can't stay away from this goose now, the House of Red Rain, the energy of holy water...
Gu He watched Elizabeth get into the car and leave, then turned around and walked quickly into the alley and back to the fish pond. The hall was already filled with lively laughter and shouting. People were playing cards and laughing about what had just happened.
No matter Shukichi Sakai or Boxer, they all said that red-haired Liz got a lot of money from the old fan. She is really stupid and has too much money.
It’s no problem that it’s an extraordinary thing, but if it’s really a good thing, can it be put in that wine cabinet? Lao Fan has hidden it.
"Lao Fan, do I get 10% commission on the 30,000 yuan?" Gu He ignored it for now, fearing that Lao Fan would not admit it after too long.
"You still want a commission?" Old Fan's fat face darkened, "Don't you know what's going on in the fish pond, provoke her!"
Sakai Shukichi laughed happily, "Xiaohe, it's okay, it's really okay. No wonder you don't want to mess with Vivian. It turns out that you have high ambitions and good character management, so you are targeting this billionaire, awesome..."
"Stop talking." Gu He didn't bother to scold him, "I'm going to Red Rain Home in two days to do volunteer work, do any of you want to go too?"
"Volunteer, what is that and what does it do?" Brother Zhuang didn't understand.
"You just work for free." Sakai Shukichi laughed at the scene, "Don't count me in, I hate free stuff the most. There are pirated books everywhere, it's really annoying." Boxer really learned lip reading, and he immediately sneered:
"That's none of your business. I can't find your stuff at any pirate bookstall."
While everyone was arguing and cursing, another person came in from outside the fish pond, and they saw it was Lorna.
Lorna was wearing leather clothes and pants, and her face was a little tense. She looked for Gu He as soon as she came in.
"You're back from a day of fun, right? Come with me. The guy over there has made a new discovery. He's found Pandora, and she's still in Kabukicho. We'll go get her tonight."
