Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

Chapter 289 Mr. Hua’s Visit

I saw the message from the housekeeper Afu...

Young Master Hua suddenly fell into deep thought.

He didn't expect that this restaurant was so powerful, and it started with the best of the best, like arowana caviar.

Judging from the current market, the value of ten gold coins can indeed be sold.

But at this stage, the value of gold coins is too high. If it is [-] copper coins, it is acceptable, but if it is gold coins, it must be weighed a few times.

On the contrary, the employees of "Integrity Restaurant" are players, which attracts the attention of Hua Shao himself.

at this time.

Butler Afu sent a message——

[Afu: "Master, I noticed that their shop has a fourth rule, where you can pay equivalent chips for divination or exchange for secret information they know."]

As soon as these words came out, Hua Shao suddenly fell into deep thought.

"This rule is undoubtedly based on 'integrity'... No wonder this store is named after it. It turns out that what you really want to do is not the catering industry at all, but a deeper information exchange site?"

"But if you want to obtain more secret information, it is definitely not a treatment that ordinary customers can enjoy. You need to show enough confidence, you need to be able to trust each other, establish an alliance, and maintain long-term contacts..."

"No wonder the threshold for the banquet is ten gold coins. I'm afraid the real purpose is related to the exchange of information."

"Only the most core customers have the qualifications and threshold to obtain core information."

"This is a selection mechanism..."

Hua Shao's eyes moved slightly, feeling that he had gradually understood what "Integrity Restaurant" really wanted to do.

It seems that you have to go to this feast in person!

But Hua Shao is even more curious. Since this "Integrity Restaurant" still knows some secret information and can use it as a price, how deep will it know, and will it be beneficial to itself?

Think of it...

He immediately sent a bloody text message to his mobile phone and asked the housekeeper Afu to test it out.

…………

"It seems like you can still exchange information at an equal price?"

Ah Fu temporarily put the bloody phone in his pocket and asked a question seemingly casually.

at this time.

The lights in the entire "Integrity Restaurant" suddenly dimmed.

A misty voice echoed in the ears of the housekeeper Afu. It was layered in this vast space, making it difficult to distinguish the source of the sound and whether it was a man or a woman...

"The next actions of the thugs will involve a transaction with assets of tens of millions or even over [-] million. If the person behind you is interested in this transaction, you can consider paying the equivalent amount of chips and come to the store to sit down. Sit down and chat."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Fu could no longer maintain the calm expression on his face. His pupils shrank violently, and he couldn't believe what he heard.

Will the mob be involved in a transaction worth tens or even hundreds of millions next?

Moreover, this shop owner seems to have already known the existence behind him, that is, Mr. Hua...

I even know that the other party wants to be ranked...

That’s why this amazing information was thrown out!
Just knowing the inside of this is exciting enough!

But since the other party also said that he could sit down and chat...

That means that what the other party knows is definitely more than just this incident!
Including the place of transaction and specific content...

However, if even this information can be known, it means that the owner of this store is likely to have spies in the gang's power organization to find out inside information.

If more detailed content can be obtained, it is likely that even the deeper organizational structure of the mob, including the specific configuration information of the personnel, will be known!
This is of inestimable value to Hua Shao, who currently regards the gangster organization as a thorn in his side!
Ah Fu took a deep breath and suddenly felt that he might have underestimated the owner of the "Integrity Restaurant".

As a player, being able to find out so much information among the gangsters is definitely not an ordinary person!

Why the other party just opened a small "honest restaurant" on the pedestrian street... It is difficult to fathom the meaning.

However, what an expert does is inherently unreasonable.

and so……

It's completely normal that you can't see the other person's intentions.

For the housekeeper Ah Fu, the most important thing is to report the young master's current progress.

"Please wait a moment, I need to ask my young master for instructions..." Ah Fu's tone was full of respect, and even his slightly lazy back could not help but straighten up at this moment, even though his hair was gray and he looked young. He is over [-] years old, but his hands are still as nimble as a young man's, and he quickly clicks on the keyboard of his mobile phone. He is as familiar as a cultural person who has been around Zu'an all year round, and can greet the parents of people from all walks of life with the essence of culture.

…………

"what?"

"The recent actions of the thugs actually involved a transaction of such a terrifying amount?"

"I don't even know any inside information about this matter?"

Hua Shao's eyes quickly scanned the blood-red phone and the latest text message popped up. The excitement on his face now was not much better than that of the housekeeper Ah Fu.

What the thugs will do next is too outrageous, right?

A transaction worth tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions... If this is done, wouldn't this ranking battle be over?

Even if I go bankrupt and sell my real estate, I still can't make that much money!

Furthermore, with the current market situation in Destiny City, the only people who have demand for real estate are players. Which aboriginal people, under the influence of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, would buy so much real estate from themselves?
If this deal were to go through, the list would be ruined!

But how did the other party know that the thugs were going to do such a thing, and how did he downplay the matter?

Mr. Hua's expression suddenly became uncertain.

He wanted to take it slow with the other party, but he didn't expect that a big blow came right away!
How do you keep yourself calm?

Hua Shao took a deep breath, then picked up the red phone and entered a text message:
"Give me the address and I'll go there immediately."

…………

At dawn, the light breaks.

Although the sky was still dark, I could finally see the street clearly, and I could also see some signs of people flowing.

at this time.

A young man, bathed in majestic yellow all over his body and walking with extraordinary luck, arrived at the door of "Integrity Restaurant" amidst the crisp swaying of wind chimes.He was not wearing anything particularly noble, but just ordinary casual clothes. However, he exuded a temperament like that of a wealthy nobleman, with the laziness that belongs to the rich. The meaning is revealed through the straight bridge of the nose and angular facial features. It is difficult not to associate it with the image of the mixed-race rich second generation in the program crew.

I don't know why, although the other person doesn't show a trace of the temperament related to a rich person, he gives the impression that he is a truly rich person.

"This guest, please sit down."

Wang Jing finished processing all the arowanas and cut off all the contaminated parts. Using the best knife skills, he took out the roes of the arowanas and simply put them in gold-rimmed jars, ready for consumption.

High-end ingredients often require only the simplest processing methods.

Arowana banquet.

With the theme of arowana ingredients, sashimi, deep-fried, steamed, braised... various methods are served on different exquisite lace plates and placed in a private room on the second floor specially provided for VIP service.

Under the leadership of Wang Jing and Shen Meng, Hua Shao and the housekeeper Ah Fu walked through the screen, went up to the second floor, and arrived at the room where the dragon fish banquet was held...

When the room first opened...

Only a few weak pale candles barely illuminated the outline of the dining table.

At the end, there is only a black shadow, dormant in the depths, seeming to be crawling with life.

When Mr. Hua comes here...

A laugh came from the dining table at the end:

"Long time no see, distinguished guest."

The sound is layered, as if it has been modified and processed with certain characteristics, making it impossible to tell whether this illusory and ethereal voice is a man or a woman, what tone it speaks in, and what kind of emotions it contains...

"A profession related to [Darkness]?"

Young Master Hua raised his eyebrows slightly and noticed that the player at the end was actually wrapping himself in darkness.

For a moment...he doubted in his heart whether the other party was the dark night at the top of the list.

However, it is said that the professional level of that dark night has reached the half-step fourth rank.

There is no need to rely on the surrounding environment at all, it can blend into the darkness without a trace.

therefore……

The opponent also needs to use the surrounding environment to sneak into the darkness. This characteristic does not seem to be that complete. It may be using special props or other ways to hide itself in the shadows, and it may also confuse itself. The effect is to make yourself think that the identity of the other party is An Ye, but in fact it is not...

Mr. Hua smiled slightly, feeling satisfied with the intelligence ability of the [Stealth Walker].

If I hadn't learned some information about An Ye through this, I might have really thought that the player sitting opposite me was the third An Ye on the list!
Moreover, the whereabouts of that dark night were very mysterious, and they were the orthodox [Shadow Assassin] sequence.

How could there be any connection with the restaurant?
As a result, Mr. Hua became even more curious about the identity of the player sitting in the shadow.

But he knew that since the other party chose to hide in the shadows, he naturally had no intention of letting him know his true identity. He focused his eyes on the arowana banquet on the table and sighed softly:
"Haha, this is the most luxurious meal I have ever had since I came to the strange era... I hope it is worth the money."

Chen Ye smiled slightly and his tone was full of confidence: "Every dish will not let you down."

"is it?"

The corners of Hua Shao's mouth slightly raised.

As a second-generation son of a rich man, he had participated in various weird banquets during this month.

Of course, in his own capacity, even some third- and fourth-level [chefs] will personally handle ingredients and prepare expensive dishes for themselves.

But such rare, expensive and high-end ingredients as "Arowana" are rarely available to Hua Shao, and it is a feast that is similar to an all-fish feast.

Although Hua Shao is not a [chef] by profession, he has come into contact with many top-notch [chefs], and his ability to appreciate food is not much inferior to that of a real [connoisseur].

This is also the power brought by resources and wealth.

"Appetizer, spicy arowana clams."

Although it is just an appetizer, it is made from the belly part of arowana, paired with clams, more than a dozen different seasonings, and the spiciness of mustard and chili.

The belly part of the arowana has a crystal-clear flesh, just like crystal, and a smooth texture. When paired with the small and slippery clams, the meat texture is integrated, and it tastes like they complement each other.

After taking the first bite, Hua Shao suddenly felt that his taste buds were wrapped in a variety of appetite-stimulating flavors, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Even though it is just an ordinary appetizer, the tenderness of the fish belly, combined with the spicy and sour taste, stimulates tens of thousands of taste buds on the tongue in an instant, whetting your appetite!

As an appetizer, it is really impressive to be able to integrate so many complex flavors into one without forgetting the original intention of appetizing.

Just by taking this bite, his level is no less than that of a [chef] hired for a high-end banquet.

Of course, this is also supported by ingredients and various seasonings.

But being able to obtain rare ingredients is part of [Chef's] strength.

"If it is a [chef] specially hired for a high-end banquet, his skills may be better, but the other party is not a player. He may not know the player's taste and what he likes. The taste may be quite strange..."

"Sure enough, players are the ones who know best what they like to eat!"

Hua Shao sighed inwardly.

In fact, after the advent of the strange era, the ingredients have changed a lot, and it is difficult to make the same taste that normal people loved before.

However, this appetizer can already beat most restaurants that were labeled as Michelin three stars in the past.

In this world full of weird things, being able to eat such top-notch food is almost a miracle!
The ten gold coins he paid suddenly made him feel less heartbroken.

At least it’s worth the money!

Mr. Hua tasted several dishes one after another. Although the surprise was diluted a lot by the appetizer [Spicy Arowana Clam], he was still very intoxicated by it.

Ah Fu, the butler next to him, almost forgot himself while eating.

Fortunately, the young master is watching from the side. As a subordinate, he needs to serve frequently.

In addition to the arowana, there are also some shrimps with thick carapace. Of course, the young master cannot let the young master break the shells himself. If his hands are full of oil, it will be like a meal with a big man.

Therefore, this task was naturally handed over to the butler Ah Fu, who elegantly removed the shrimp shells before putting them on the young master's plate.

Halfway through the meal...

Mr. Hua put down the knife and fork in his hand, and his eyes fell on the sashimi platter piled with ice cubes, and the two boxes of arowana caviar jars with gold on the corners.

He reached out and took off the jar, placed it in front of him, and gently scratched a small piece with his spoon, preparing to taste this most precious ingredient.
