Longevity starts from strengthening internal organs

Chapter 27
first day.

New year new life.

As soon as Zhao Ya got up, he heard someone knocking on the door outside. When he opened the door, it was Tan Dong.

He clasped his fists together and said with a smile, "Brother Zhao, happy new year, I'm here to wish you a happy new year."

"Happy New Year, come in!"

After entering the house, Tan Dong saw Tang Zui'er who had changed into a new dress at a glance, his eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "Sister-in-law is really beautiful today."

Tang Zui'er blushed after saying a word, and after bringing tea and snacks, she quickly turned and left.

After Tan Dong sat down, he knocked on the melon seeds and looked around. Seeing that the house was clean, he couldn't help saying enviously.

"Brother Zhao, you have a high level. It's hard to find a virtuous and gentle girl like sister-in-law!"

"So much nonsense!" Zhao Ya scolded with a smile, "Don't leave at noon, let's have a drink."

"Okay, but not with you."

"Where are you going then?"

"Of course it's my house. To tell you the truth, my father and my brother are back, and they all want to see you, so let me come over and invite you and my sister-in-law to have dinner at noon."

"Oh? Your father is back?"

"Yes, my father is very busy all day, so he can only rest for two days during the Chinese New Year."

Zhao Ya's heart skipped a beat.

I have been worrying about the flesh and blood of alien beasts for a while, and now that Tan Dong's father is back, I just want to ask him for advice.

"Okay, I haven't seen my uncle all this time, so I just want to pay my respects this time."

After chatting for a few more words, Tan Dong left first.

Zhao Ya told Tang Zui'er that he was going to Tan Dong's house for dinner at noon.

Tang Zui'er couldn't help hesitating when he heard it.

"I...do I still have to go?"

"Of course, Tan Dong invited you by name, so you don't have to be afraid, it's just a casual meal."

Zhao Ya knew that Tang Zui'er was timid by nature and was very afraid of contacting strangers, so he comforted her softly.

"Okay...Okay, then I'll clean up."

After Tang Zui'er packed up, Zhao Ya led her out and walked towards Tan Dong's house.

On the way, Zhao Ya bought a few more souvenirs. After all, it was the first time to meet Tan Dong's father, so it was a shame to go there empty-handed.

After arriving at Tan's house, an old servant had already been waiting here, and when he saw Zhao Ya and Tang Zui'er coming, he hurriedly led them in.

Today's Tan family is very lively, and there is an endless stream of people who come to visit.

Moreover, Zhao Ya noticed that most of these people had a reckless aura, and they should all be from the Jianghu.

At this time, Tan Dong also rushed over.

"Brother Zhao, go to my room first. My father is meeting with guests, and he will come over later."

"it is good!"

After arriving at Tan Dong's bedroom, Zhao Ya couldn't help saying, "I can't tell that my uncle has a lot of friends, so many people from all walks of life come to visit."

Tan Dong sighed, "What kind of people are in the world? To put it bluntly, they are people from various gangs outside Wuxiang City. They come to visit my father at this time of year."

Zhao Ya was a little surprised.

What is the identity of Tan Dong's father, so that people from all major gangs in the outer city can come to visit him?
While thinking about it, I heard footsteps outside, and then I saw a thin old man walking into the house.

The old man was nearly sixty years old, but he was well maintained. He looked like a shrewd shopkeeper.

Behind the old man was a young man. His facial features were vaguely similar to Tan Dong's, but his figure was much bigger than Tan Dong's, and his actions were even more powerful.

Zhao Ya especially noticed that the man's hands were iron gray, and his fingers were short and thick, obviously he had practiced kung fu similar to iron sand palms.

Zhao Ya thought about it in his heart, then took two quick steps, clasped his hands together and said, "I'm going down to Zhao Ya, I met Uncle Tan."

The old man looked at Zhao Ya carefully for a moment, then gave a thumbs up and praised.

"What a handsome and handsome young man, no wonder Erlang mentioned you to me again and again after I got home, you are really extraordinary."

"Uncle is absurd!"

"Hahaha, this must be Miss Zui'er, and she is indeed a beautiful woman, she is really talented and beautiful."

Tang Zui'er blushed with shame, put on her hands for a while, but didn't dare to speak.

"Let's go, it's rare that today is so lively, let's have a good drink." Father Tan said with a smile.

The meals had already been prepared, and after everyone was seated, there was a lot of toasting.

Zhao Ya only found out after drinking for three rounds that Tan Dong's father was named Tan Ziwang, and the burly man was Tan Dong's eldest brother, Tan Bin.

The two of them, father and son, have been working in the inner city, so they can't come back easily.

At this time, Tan Ziwang put down his wine glass and looked at Zhao Ya with a smile on his face.

"I heard that Xiaoya, you have already mastered bone refining?"

"Yes."

"Well, it's pretty good at your age to have this level of cultivation. Erlang also told me that you've been worrying about the flesh and blood of alien beasts lately, haven't you?"

Zhao Ya knew that the main show was coming, so he put down his chopsticks and nodded solemnly.

"That's right, since I became a master of bone refining, the amount of flesh and blood of alien beasts I need has increased greatly, so I have been worrying about this matter."

Tan Ziwang asked, "Then how much do you need?"

"At least 20 taels of earthworm jerky per month."

Four pieces of earthworm jerky are worth one tael. Under normal circumstances, Zhao Ya needs at least three pieces a day, so in a month, it will be 22 taels of earthworm jerky.

This is still a conservative estimate, but coupled with the lunch that the Escort Bureau manages at noon, it is barely enough.

"20 taels of earthworm jerky..." Tan Ziwang thought for a moment, then said.

"How about this, I can provide you with 25 taels of earthworm jerky every month from now on, is that enough?"

Zhao Ya's eyes lit up, "What price?"

Zhao Ya had known for a long time that Tan Dong's father had a way to get earthworm jerky, and it should be cheaper than the ghost market.

This is what Zhao Ya cares most about.

Because based on my own consumption, a tael of jerky, even if it is only a penny, is not a small sum.

Tan Ziwang smiled slightly, but instead of answering directly, he asked, "The jerky you bought at the ghost market should be three taels of silver."

"Correct!"

"Okay, if I don't need money for these jerky, I can't do it. How about it, I will give you a price of one tael of silver."

Hearing this, Zhao Ya's spirits lifted, and he looked at Tan Ziwang in disbelief.

The price of one tael of silver was beyond Zhao Ya's imagination.

Because this is no longer a discounted price, but the price of a big clearance sale.

But soon Zhao Ya calmed down, and said in a deep voice, "What do you need me to do?"

Seeing Zhao Ya's calm expression, Tan Ziwang's expression showed admiration.

"No wonder Xiaoya, you can achieve such achievements at such a young age, you are really smart enough."

"But don't think too much about it. The reason why I help you is because you and Erlang have an irresistible relationship, and you can be regarded as one of my juniors. Naturally, I can help you if you can."
