Chapter 83 You're Sitting in the Wrong Seat
It was almost time for lunch when Yaya brought Maomao home with a smug look on her face. If her face and pants hadn't been covered in dust and her grandmother hadn't taken her away to take a shower, perhaps this smug look might have lasted longer.
At the dinner table, Du Ruo ate the chicken soup cooked by his mother. He told her that he was going to Guangdong Province and might go fishing with his friends. If the fishing conditions were good, they might be gone for many days. It would be normal if he couldn't get through on the phone by then.
My mother didn't suspect anything. After hearing that it might take a week or ten days for him to come back, she gave the two remaining chicken legs in the bowl to Yaya and Maomao.
"Grandma, I can't finish two chicken legs."
Yaya frowned. In addition to the two chicken legs, there was also half a bowl of rice in the bowl. Unless the chicken legs were replaced with fish, she would not be able to finish it.
"If you don't want to eat them, Maomao will eat them all. He can finish all four of them."
My mother said this in an unpleasant tone.
"Really?"
Yaya looked surprised, and even Maomao looked up from his food bowl. What do you call this? The surprise came too suddenly.
……
After dinner, Du Ruo went to the B&B to pick up all the dried fish that Xiang Yuanyuan had sent, sent Yaya and Maomao back to town, gave the dried fish to Duna, and told her that he was going out to play for a few days and might not be able to pick up Yaya next week. Then he returned to the B&B.
There are many things that need to be explained, not only about leaving in the next few days, but also what if...
In short, Du Ruo invited everyone to drink in the evening, and even Xiaoling was invited. He took out all the beef and gave it away as a gift, and ate what could be eaten. It would be a waste if it went bad if it was not eaten within a few days.
"Tsk tsk, sea fishing, it's so exciting just thinking about it. I've never eaten tuna before. Can you catch some when you go? If you do, remember to bring some back."
Yang Chenguang was a little envious. He had two sons at home, and his wife wanted a third child, so he didn't have much idea of going out for travel. He really envied Du Ruo's carefree life, as she could go wherever she wanted at any time.
"Okay, I won't forget it. You can help take care of the store these days. There will be enough sea fish. Xiaoling, if you have any problems, come to Chen Guang."
Du Ruo smiled and joked.
Not long after drinking, Yang Chenguang didn't know if he was intoxicated by the medicinal wine and was in a hurry to go back and hand in his homework, so he left in a hurry, and Xiaoling followed him.
"Yuanyuan, I have something to ask of you."
When Du Ruo saw Xiang Yuanyuan was about to leave, he quickly stopped her.
"Ah? You say."
Xiang Yuanyuan was holding a bottle of wine. She just stood up when she heard Du Ruo calling her and was a little confused.
"Can you make tiger bone wine from tiger bone?"
Du Ruo didn't beat around the bush. He and Xiang Yuanyuan had quite pleasant interactions and he knew each other well, so he just said it directly. Besides, he could only ask her for this matter. Otherwise, Du Ruo would probably just use it to make soup. Don't think that tiger bone wine is just made by soaking tiger bones. If it were that simple, the medicinal wine wouldn't be so valuable.
"Tiger bone? What kind of tiger? Different species have different medicinal effects."
Xiang Yuanyuan became interested when she heard this. She didn't care where the tiger bones came from, but cared more about what kind of medicinal properties they had.
"Bengal tiger, a whole set."
"I can't do it, but my grandfather can. You give me the tiger bones, and I'll pay for the herbs needed to prepare them. How about taking 20% of the profits? You should know that making real tiger bone wine is not only a complicated process, but there are also very few winemakers who can really bring out the full medicinal power. It also requires a lot of precious herbs."
Xiang Yuanyuan's eyes lit up. She had never personally participated in the production of tiger bone wine and thought there was no hope. Unexpectedly, Du Ruo gave her a surprise. As for the 20% of the wine as a reward, it was indeed not much.
"Okay, then please send me your home address. I'll be in your hands when the time comes."
"Okay, okay, hahahaha, I'll send it to you now."
Xiang Yuanyuan's happiness was visibly visible, and she immediately took out her phone and sent the message to Du Ruo. Du Ruo took a look at it and then forwarded it to Li Yu.
"Got it. It will arrive within three days."
Soon, Li Yu's message came.
After Xiang Yuanyuan left, Du Ruo practiced boxing for a while until he was completely calm. Then he added the attribute points he had gained today, washed up, and went to bed.
Although he was calm inside, Du Ruo couldn't help but think a lot when he got to bed. Ever since he obtained this system, Du Ruo knew that his destiny had changed.
He didn't want to live in a muddle anymore, he wanted to practice martial arts and go further.
Originally, he just wanted to practice martial arts and then be an ordinary B&B owner, but as he got deeper into and understood martial arts, he came to understand that practicing martial arts is not something that can be done by just staying at home.
Systematic extraction of skills and instillation of knowledge are just knowledge. Practicing skills to gain attribute points can add strength, but this strength is illusory. Only the physical body is strong. Practicing martial arts is by no means such a simple thing. No one can become a master by practicing at home. If you don't practice and gain experience, then why do you need so many skills? Just practice Xingyiquan and then add points.
……
The next morning, Du Ruo got up and dressed himself up. He shaved clean, trimmed his nails, and even washed his face with soap. Then he took the Panlong silk and all his hidden weapons and took a taxi to the airport.
Panlong silk and hidden weapons may be prohibited items, but Panlong bracelets and sewing machine needles are not. You can carry them with you without worry and take them out for inspection during security checks, so the journey is very smooth and unobstructed.
……
Setting foot on the land of Guangdong Province again, Du Ruo felt dazed, as if nothing had changed, yet as if everything had changed.
"Master Du, hello. I'm here to pick you up. The car is already outside. Please come this way."
A voice dispelled Du Ruo's trance. A middle-aged man stood in front of Du Ruo, bent down slightly, and made a gesture of invitation, letting Du Ruo know that everything was really different.
"Well, let's go."
After leaving the airport, the man drove the Mercedes-Benz with Du Ruo in silence for about forty minutes until he stopped in front of a detached villa.
The manor is not luxurious, or even big. Its only feature is that it has a great environment, surrounded by mountains and water, without the hustle and bustle of the city.
"Master Du, please follow me. Several guests have already arrived. At twelve o'clock, our boss will invite everyone to have a meal together. Now please follow me to the tea room."
The man got out of the car, led the way, and told Du Ruo that he was not the only one coming today.
Du Ruo was not surprised at all. He would definitely not be the only one interested in such a bounty.
The man brought Du Ruo to the door of the tea room, then made a gesture of invitation and left.
Du Ruo stood at the door and looked into the house. The interior was simply decorated with a huge solid wood carved coffee table and three chairs on each side.
At this time, there were already people sitting on three chairs. On the left sat an old man who was probably in his fifties. He was wearing a sweatshirt and long pants, and a pair of rare Liberation shoes. He had dark skin, and his hands holding the teacup were full of calluses. He looked like an old farmer.
There were two people sitting on the right, both of them were in their thirties. One was dressed in a suit and glasses, and looked gentle and refined with a smile on his face. The other one was wearing a camouflage vest, had a shaved head, and had muscular arms. He looked like someone who was not someone to be trifled with.
Du Ruo was looking at the three people, and the three people were also looking Du Ruo up and down, but no one spoke.
Du Ruo had no intention of saying hello. He walked to the old man's side, pulled out the heavy wooden chair and wanted to sit on it.
"You're sitting in the wrong seat. We, the employment agencies or employment groups, sit over here. That side belongs to the Lone Ranger."
Before Du Ruo sat down, the gentle man with glasses opposite him started talking with a smile.
