He Changqing's expression was extremely ugly. There was no doubt that Zhai Lingxiu was not needed as the referee. He had already lost this game, and he had lost so thoroughly that there was no room for argument.
At this moment, he felt extremely aggrieved and wanted to teach the troubled Kang Yongnian a lesson, but he did not have the courage.
After all, this old man is no ordinary restaurant owner. He has a backer in the capital.
Ye Bufan smiled slightly and said, "Master He, did I win this round?"
He Changqing snorted coldly and said indifferently: "So what? It's just a glass of wine. Who knows where you happened to get it from."
Only then did Kang Yongnian realize that the two of them were gambling with wine, and he immediately said with great interest: "You two, is this a gambling game? How about a gambling method? Why don't you tell me about it?"
He Changqing turned his head away, obviously extremely dissatisfied with the old man.
Ye Bufan smiled and said: "Old sir, you are right..."
As he spoke, he recounted the bet between the two, and finally said, "This was the first round just now. Master He and I were competing to see whose wine was better and whose wine was more fragrant."
"So this wine belongs to you, little brother."
Kang Yongnian immediately said with an eager face, "Little brother, where did you get this wine? Can you give me a bottle of your love? I am willing to pay 10,000 gold coins, no, 20,000 gold coins."
But Ye Bufan shook his head: "I'm sorry, old gentleman, I don't sell this wine."
"Little brother, do you think the price is too low? Then how much do you want? Old man, I will never bargain."
This old man is obviously an alcoholic. When he mentioned Moutai, there was an uncontrollable desire in his eyes.
"Old sir, this is not a matter of money, but it is really gone. I only have this bottle. You should also know, how can there be too much of such a good wine?"
At the end, Ye Bufan couldn't stand the pitiful look in the old man's eyes, so he pushed the remaining half bottle of wine in front of him, "Okay, old man, I'll give you the remaining half bottle."
Kang Yongnian originally had a disappointed look on his face, but when he heard the last word, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hugged the half bottle of wine into his arms, "Little brother, I thank you. You can come to my Zuixian Tower in the future.
All meals are free of charge.”
After saying that, he looked at Zhai Lingxiu greedily again: "Little girl of the Zhai family, do you want to give me your glass of wine?"
"never!"
All of this happened so suddenly that Zhai Lingxiu came to his senses, picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip.
As soon as the mellow wine entered her mouth, an extremely complex look appeared on her delicate face. She was shocked at first, and then extremely comfortable.
“Good wine, really good wine!”
Zhai Lingxiu praised it repeatedly, and secretly decided in her heart that when she left, she must get two more bottles from Ye Bufan to take back, so that her father and brother could have a good taste.
As for what the other party said that it was gone, she didn't believe a word of it. If there was only one bottle of this good wine, the other party wouldn't take it out and gamble with someone like He Changqing.
Among the four people present, the most depressing one was the eldest young master of the He family. Even if he lost the first bet, he didn't even taste the wine, just smelled the fragrance.
Although Kang Yongnian was a little disappointed, the old man was not ready to leave and continued: "You two gentlemen, what is the next bet? I can try it for you and make a judgment."
It turns out that this old man likes fine wine and delicious food. Since the wine is gone, he is also going to try the next delicious food.
Since this young man can produce such fine wine, he must be able to produce good food as well.
Ye Bufan smiled slightly: "Okay, then I'll ask the old gentleman to be a witness as well."
Although He Changqing was extremely dissatisfied with Kang Yongnian, he had no choice. The old man also had a background and it was difficult for him to openly provoke him, so he could only acquiesce.
While several people were talking, the waiter soon came up with a tray. On the tray was a big golden fish, which was full of color, flavor and taste. It made people move their index fingers.
Seeing the fish he had prepared being brought to the table, He Changqing seemed to have regained his confidence and immediately looked excited.
"Miss, Mr. Kang, you should know this fish. This is the fairy water fish from Shenxian Lake. It tastes extremely delicious."
Kang Yongnian looked excited after hearing this: "Really? I heard that this fairy water fish is only for the royal court. How did you get it to Sirius City?"
He Changqing was secretly happy. It seemed that this old man was not useless. He knew a lot about knowledge and could help him look good at critical moments.
"Mr. Kang, this cost me a lot of thought and a total of 20,000 gold coins." He Changqing said, "Miss, please try it and see how the fish tastes?"
Zhai Lingxiu hesitated for a moment, but finally picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish, put it into his mouth, and chewed it slowly.
"Miss, how does it taste?"
He Changqing asked with a proud look on his face.
Before Zhai Lingxiu could speak, Kang Yongnian had already put a large piece of fish into his mouth, chewing it and talking.
“It tastes good. It’s worthy of being a fairy fish. It’s really delicious.”
After receiving the old man's praise, He Changqing looked at Ye Bufan triumphantly and said, "Boy, try it too, don't wait until you lose and feel dissatisfied."
"OK."
Ye Bufan smiled, without any courtesy at all, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish and put it into his mouth.
“The fish is good, the meat is fresh and tender, but it’s a pity that the cooking skills are a little poor, so it can only be regarded as inferior.”
He Changqing's face suddenly darkened: "Boy, what are you talking nonsense about? This is the fish cooked by the chief chef of Juxian Tower. How can the cooking skills be poor?"
Kang Yongnian also followed up and said: "Young man, I'm afraid you don't know that the chief chef of my back kitchen was hired from the imperial dining room in the capital, and his cooking skills are absolutely incredible."
He shook his head as he spoke, feeling that this young man could not afford to lose and was making random excuses.
Ye Bufan put down his chopsticks: "I can only say that you are frogs in the well and have never seen real cooking skills."
He Changqing also thought that the other party was making excuses, and said with a sneer: "Well, if you have any good dishes, just bring them out and let me try them."
"Okay, I'll let you see it."
After Ye Bufan finished speaking, his mind moved, and a steaming pot of boiled fish appeared on the dining table, and the spicy and delicious aroma suddenly filled the whole room.
Storage rings have this advantage. They are a three-dimensional space independent of this world. There is no concept of time. No matter how long it takes for things to be put in, they will always come out fresh.
Because of this, Ye Bufan stored countless delicacies in his oversized storage ring in case of emergencies. This pot of boiled fish came from a delicious Sichuan restaurant in the imperial capital.
"This...what does this smell like? Why is it so fragrant?"
Smelling the rich aroma of boiled fish, Kang Yongnian's mouth watered instantly.
Especially when I saw the white and tender fish fillets and the bright red soup, I couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food anymore, so I picked up the chopsticks and picked it up.
