Free Web NovelChapter 902: Chapter 4: Known in the Martial World as the Black Lotus
"A thousand gold for a cup of wine, this might be the most expensive wine in the world, right, Boss? I doubt there are many people in the world willing to spend on this wine." Xu Lang laughed, "Though to be fair, Boss, your wine is worth the price."
"It does seem like that’s the case," Tianmiao chuckled, "But still, aren’t you guys willing to spend and enjoy the wine?"
"But after this time, I’ll be broke; next time we’ll just have to bring our own stools and sit by the door to savor the wine’s aroma." Xu Lang joked, smiling.
Tianmiao couldn’t help but chuckle lightly, Xu Lang indeed lived up to being a favored individual of fate in this world. Known in Jianghu as the Passionate Wanderer, he has many female confidants in the martial world and is known for his generosity, often spending lavishly. He’s keen on making friends, whether in the martial world or at court. One must admit, his emotional intelligence and intellect are high, and his way with words is delightful.
"It seems like you did lose out. To make sure you don’t feel like my shop is a rip-off, here’s the deal: this thousand gold can be considered a membership fee. After paying this once, you can drink whatever and however much you want, and pay as you wish." Tianmiao had always been favorable towards smart and charming people.
"Then I’m profiting. Boss Tian, you are indeed straightforward. I’m determined to have you as a friend!" Xu Lang burst into laughter.
Soon, Xu Lang’s friend returned with some marinated dishes. The person in silver-white clothing was one of Xu Lang’s best friends, Shen Hanshu. Both hailed from renowned martial arts families in the martial world. Despite being pampered from a young age, they hadn’t become spoiled brats but were instead free-spirited and determined, having diligently studied martial arts and made a name for themselves in the martial world during their youth.
"Hanshu, come quick, we hit the jackpot. Such exquisite wine, Boss Tian said today if we pay a thousand gold membership fee, in the future no matter what wine we drink or how much, we can pay whatever we want." Xu Lang waved at Shen Hanshu, laughing loudly.
"Is that so? Then we indeed profited." Shen Hanshu placed the marinated dishes on the table, filling it up, "Boss Tian, if you don’t mind, could you join us for a drink? Of course, it’s our treat."
Tianmiao glanced at the table; most of it consisted of dishes he liked. Clearly, these two came today specifically for him.
"Sure, thanks a lot," Tianmiao of course wouldn’t be pretentious and agreed directly, asking Kong Hou to continue bringing more wine, "Since you’ve paid the membership fee today, feel free to drink."
"This membership idea, very clever," Shen Hanshu murmured, repeating the words ’membership fee’ that Tianmiao had mentioned, seemingly pondering something, "Boss Tian, could I borrow this membership fee idea? Of course, I won’t borrow it for free." Shen Hanshu’s family had many businesses, and he was also a good businessman. Upon hearing Tianmiao’s membership fee concept, his mind was racing, already expanding the idea.
"Oh, Hanshu, you money-minded guy, still thinking about business at a time like this? Just drink first. We’ll talk about business after a good drink." Xu Lang patted his shoulder in discontent, "Stop talking."
"Alright, alright, my bad. I’ll penalize myself with three drinks first," Shen Hanshu sat down with a smile, poured himself some wine, and began drinking.
"Hey, hold on a minute. Such fine wine, drinking like that is too sneaky, you’re just trying to drink more." Xu Lang stopped Shen Hanshu.
