Chapter 143 - An Ugly Gift
Everyone's eyes fell upon Zhang Xiaoloong once again, and before he could say anything... Old Man Li spoke first. “This is what I asked Donghua to tell him. Young people are busy. It makes me happy to see an old man like me. As long as it's a token of my appreciation, it makes sense to give him a gift. Also, it's the same for all of you. Don't bring any gifts in the future. Being able to come here is giving me face as an old man.”
“Old man, you're saying this because you love us juniors. ” Xu Shaoning smiled elegantly. ” But as juniors, we are too embarrassed to come empty-handed. Even if it is a small gift, it can be considered a token of our appreciation.”
“That's right. What we give to the old man is just a token of our appreciation. The second gift is that we can't come with empty hands. Wang Changyu's words hit his face. “Zhang Xiaoloong, you're not really here to freeload, are you?”
Chen Yaru had long hated these two people who sang the same tune. However, in this kind of occasion, she was not suitable to say too much. It was like Zhang Xiaoloong was incompetent and could only rely on her to protect him.
Furthermore, she knew that Zhang Xiaoloong did not want her to do so, so she could only hold back her anger and desperately try to kill these two people with her eyes.
“Today, I came here to congratulate Grandfather Li on his birthday. Secondly, I do have the intention of coming here to freeload...” Before Zhang Xiaoloong could finish his words, many people gave him face and laughed a few times.
Those who came to eat were all guests, but those who came to freeload were all close friends. In short, Zhang Xiaoloong did not treat himself as an outsider.
Even the old man of the Lee family was amused. “I love what Xiaoloong said. Grandfather, I welcome you to come and freeload a few more times at home, so that I don't have to worry about eating alone.”
The surrounding guests all showed some envy on their faces. Zhang Xiaoloong did not know why, but he had entered the eyes of Lee Donghua and the old man. Was it really because he sold an orchid to the other party?
Of course, these people did not know that the orchid that Zhang Xiaoloong sold to Lee Donghua was actually a favor of a few million. Although both of them did not care about this, it was the truth.
In the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Xiaoloong sold a basin of orchid. Compared to Xu Shaoning giving away an antique painting worth millions, the favor he received was even heavier.
Many people were thinking that they really had to pay attention to the orchids market in the future. That thing was much more useful than an antique painting.
“Actually, it's not like I didn't bring anything with me this time. I brought some specialties with me.” Zhang Xiaoloong responded to Old Man Li's words and smiled honestly.
Looks like Zhang Xiaoloong really doesn't have any schemes. If you say that you spent a lot of effort to make it... At least when he took it out, people would be able to see through his intentions. Such a simple and crude white plastic bucket, even if it had a great intention, it would still be blown away by the clouds.
“This is...” Old Man Li did not know what it was either. It really looked like wine, but there was a faint green color in it, and it did not look like wine at all.
“Grandpa Li, this is the drink that Xiaoloong and I just developed. Try it. It tastes really good.” Chen Yaru was naturally better at acting spoiled.
Furthermore, she was also quite familiar with the Li family's old man, so she did not have to worry about anything.
“So it's a drink. I'll go!” Wang Changyu's voice was not loud, but it made many people hear his disdain.
If it was wine, although it was shabby and a little interesting, drinks were completely different.
He took something from his home to exchange for a few catties of drinks and even put it in a plastic bucket. How dare he take it out and give it to others like this? It was more like a disgrace.
Although the others did not express anything, from the looks of it, everyone still supported Wang Changyu. They thought that Zhang Xiaoloong was too much.
Xu Shaoning, on the other hand, wore an elegant and indifferent smile. He looked at everything in front of him very gentlemanly. “Since it is Mr. Zhang's kind intentions, old man, please give him face and try a few mouthfuls. Maybe the taste is still okay.”
A trace of embarrassment flashed across old man Li's face. He turned to Zhang Xiaoloong and said, “Xiaoloong, grandpa, my blood sugar is high. I can't drink beverages...”
He really did not think it was good to use white plastic barrels. He had come from the countryside and had used these things to store water when he was young. However, if he wanted to drink beverages, he had to think about it.
“Let me try it.” Lee Donghua also knew about this situation. He smiled and came to help. “I have been looking forward to drinking the first batch of drinks. I want to see if you can give me another surprise this time.”
Zhang Xiaoloong smiled. “Uncle Lee can try a few mouthfuls, of course. But Grandpa Lee, you can also drink it. Because I don't drink much sugar in this drink. It is healthier than eating fresh fruits. Drinking a little will not only not increase the blood sugar, it also has the effect of reducing blood sugar. “
“Do you think that's made from the Queen Mother's Peaches of Immortality? If you eat one, you can live as long as the heaven and earth!” Wang Changyu snorted and said.
