Chapter 43 Cash Check

Longyin Pavilion Chinese Restaurant.

When Fang Yi walked in, he found that the hall was not big, but it had a strong aura.

The gorgeous crystal chandelier and the powerful word "dragon" on the front wall look very majestic.

The group was led to the box by the waiter.

Fang Yi was invited to sit in the guest of honor seat.

Xu Xiaoli, as his apprentice, served as the secondary guest.

Since Cheng Shan was the host, he naturally sat at the main seat.

Zhu Changqing was the deputy companion.

Xiao Jin and Xiao Qin sat a little further away.

As soon as they sat down, Cheng Shan handed the tablet over to Fang Yi for ordering, and said, "Master, make do with lunch, and come to my house for a good meal in the evening."

Fang Yi casually ordered two vegetarian dishes and handed the tablet back. "Okay, no need to bother. Just make two home-cooked dishes."

Cheng Shan took the tablet and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll ask my wife to buy some chicken, duck, fish and shrimp later."

He paused for a moment, his eyes showing gratitude, "Master, thank you so much today. Otherwise, if the Feng Shui I arranged was not repaired and spread out, my reputation would be ruined."

Zhu Changqing joked: "Your reputation was ruined 20 years ago when you got drunk and jumped into the West Lake. Why did you wait until today to ruin it?"

When his past dark history was mentioned, Cheng Shan couldn't help but blush. He said angrily, "Drink your tea. You keep exposing my past all day long. What did you do when you were drunk? Did you forget to go into the chicken coop?"

puff!

Xiao Qin, Xiao Jin and Xu Xiaoli lowered their heads and laughed secretly.

Fang Yi watched with great interest as these two old friends exposed each other's dark history.

Soon, everyone in the circle had ordered the dishes they wanted.

We sat there and chatted for a while.

Most of them were talking about Fang Yi.

During this time, the dishes were served one by one.

At first Fang Yi didn't care.

Who knew that halfway through the meal, there were more than twenty dishes.

He was shocked and quickly asked Cheng Shan to tell the restaurant not to make the dishes that had not been cooked.

As a result, Xiao Qin just went out to talk to the hotel staff.

The waitress came in again with a large covered bowl.

After it was served, I opened the lid of the bowl and a burst of hot steam rose.

Fang Yi was a little far away and couldn't see clearly what the dishes were.

Cheng Shan seemed to know what it was, and immediately turned the dish in front of Fang Yi, saying: "Master, this American ginseng stewed with sea cucumber is a very tonic, you have to taste it carefully."

Xiao Jin said with a grin, "Yes, Master, sea cucumbers are very nutritious. When I was a kid, I had a nosebleed after eating them."

Since entering the second stage, Fang Yi's appetite has decreased a lot.

He didn't feel like eating anymore, but he couldn't refuse the hospitality, so he picked up the chopsticks and took a small piece. "Okay, I'll try it."

As he spoke, he put a small sea cucumber into his mouth and bit it.

It's quite chewy when you bite it.

It's a pity that it seems to have no taste.

However, Fang Yi still ate the entire small sea cucumber.

When everyone saw him pick up his chopsticks, the others started to eat as well.

Zhu Changqing ate it with some disdain, "It's not very delicious, why do the Chinese national football team like it so much?"

“Isn’t this nutritious?”

"I need to replenish my energy."

Xiao Jin said a few words to Cheng Shan.

As for Xu Xiaoli, she was particularly well-behaved today. She was usually noisy, but she hadn't said a word during the meal.

Fang Yi also wanted to add a few words.

But suddenly, he felt full of "vitality".

It's a bit like the feeling after eating ginseng.

"Huh?"

Fang Yi was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself: "Could it be that eating sea cucumbers can also replenish vitality?"

He was really curious, so he simply injected his Dan Qi into the statue model to check the inside of the body.

Although spiritual consciousness can also be used for internal vision, the energy consumption is relatively large, so of course he chose the one that consumes less energy.

While looking inward, Fang Yi clearly saw the sea cucumber being rapidly digested into smaller substances, which then reached the small intestine and turned into wisps of essence, which were finally absorbed by the innate true seed and converted into energy to replenish the golden elixir that had consumed a lot of Dan Qi today.

Sea cucumbers can really replenish your energy!

It's a little different from ginseng.

Fang Yi remembered that ginseng would be directly digested into essence in the stomach, and then absorbed by the kidney's innate true seed and converted into energy to replenish the golden elixir.

Sea cucumbers are more like ordinary food and need to go through an extra process.

But it provides a lot of essence, several times more than ordinary food.

Only slightly less than artificially grown ginseng.

From this perspective, it seems that sea cucumbers can also help with cultivation.

Fang Yi suddenly had an idea, "Since ginseng is not the only thing that can help with cultivation, then besides ginseng and sea cucumber, are there other things that can also help with cultivation?"

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Xu Xiaoli's soft voice, "Master, Uncle Cheng is talking to you."

Fang Yi looked over quickly and said, "Sorry, I was just thinking about something and didn't pay attention to what you said, Master Cheng."

"It's okay, it's okay." Cheng Shan waved his hand and frowned slightly and said, "Boss Wei just sent me a message on WeChat, saying that he wants to come visit you, real person. Do you want him to come?"

Fang Yi roughly understood what Boss Wei was here for.

Give yourself money.

Wasn’t the purpose of his previous move just to make a little more money?

Naturally, Fang Yi did not refuse, "Well, let him come over."

Cheng Shan heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll send him a message now and ask him to come over."

Fang Yi took the opportunity to look at Zhu Changqing while he was sending a message and asked, "Master Zhu, do you know anything that can replenish vital energy as well as ginseng?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at him.

Zhu Changqing put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "There are so many things that can replenish vitality, such as the sea cucumber we just ate. Oh, yes, there is also American ginseng. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, ginseng, angelica, donkey-hide gelatin, cooked rehmannia, raw rehmannia, ophiopogon, deer antler, eucommia, ganoderma, royal jelly, seahorse, etc. can all replenish vitality."

so much?

Fang Yi seemed to be thinking about something.

Xiao Jin seemed to understand a little bit, and added: "It's not just Chinese medicine that can replenish vitality, things like red dates, wolfberries, longans, lotus seeds, etc. can also replenish vitality."

"I remember my master told me that beef can also replenish vital energy." Xiao Qin rarely spoke, "Different types of beef have different properties and flavors. Buffalo beef tends to be cooler, and beef is the best at replenishing vital energy."

"What?"

When Cheng Shan heard Xiao Qin say the word "Master", he suddenly raised his head.

Xiao Jin repeated Fang Yi's question.

Cheng Shan suddenly realized, "Oh, to replenish vital energy. In fact, most foods can replenish vital energy. It's just a matter of how much to replenish. By the way, if you are a cultivator, it's best to eat less meat."

Xu Xiaoli asked curiously, "Why? Isn't meat more nutritious than plants?"

Fang Yi also had the same doubt.

Cheng Shan took a sip of the wine, clicked his tongue, and then said, "The Taoist saying is that eating meat will form turbid qi in the body and affect the flow of qi. I don't know if this is true, but the Taoists of the Zhengyi School also eat meat, only the Quanzhen School don't."

Will eating meat cause foul gas?

Indeed, people who love meat have a stronger body odor than ordinary people.

Because meat produces acidic substances during the metabolism process, which causes body fluids to produce unpleasant odor.

Of course, this refers to excessive intake of meat.

Normal nutritional supplementation will not.

According to Fang Yi's understanding, acidic substances will make the blood viscous, slow down blood circulation, slow down the metabolism of various organs in the body, and be unfavorable for the excretion of metabolic waste, so naturally the body's functions will be poor.

He can use Dan Qi to speed up the excretion of metabolic waste from the body.

It just consumes more energy.

Fang Yi probably understood why ancient practitioners ate less meat.

Because it will increase the burden on the body.

None of this really matters.

The important thing is that he finally understood that there are many other things that can replenish his energy and help him practice.

Everyone chatted for about half an hour.

The dinner is almost over.

suddenly.

There was a knock on the box door.

Then, the burly Boss Wei walked in with a smile on his face, "Master, Master Cheng, Master Zhu, Miss Xu, Miss Jin, Mr. Qin, hello."

He has a good memory and remembers the last name of everyone present. No wonder his business is so successful.

Everyone greeted him.

Afterwards, Xiao Qin moved a chair for Boss Wei and sat down next to Fang Yi.

As soon as Boss Wei sat down, he smiled flatteringly, "Master, thank you so much for today."

Fang Yi waved his hand and said, "It's a small matter. Have you eaten? We didn't eat together."

"I have. I just ate." Boss Wei said quickly, "I just came to thank you all. After thanking you, I have to go back to the factory."

As he spoke, he took out a stack of red envelopes from his briefcase, looked at them carefully, took out the thinnest one and respectfully placed it in front of Fang Yi, "It's just a small gift and not a sign of respect, I hope Master Fang will accept it."

Fang Yi did not refuse and moved the red envelope to the side. "Okay, I'll take it."

I have contributed 30% of my Dan Qi, so it is only right that I receive a big red envelope.

When Boss Wei saw that he was willing to accept it, the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together with a smile. Then he stood up and gave Cheng Shan and Zhu Changqing a thinner red envelope first, and the two of them accepted it calmly.

Finally, he distributed the three thicker ones to Xu Xiaoli, Xiao Jin and Xiao Qin one by one.

"Boss Wei, I can't accept your red envelope."

"Yeah, we weren't much help."

"Boss Wei, no merit, no reward."

Xu Xiaoli, Xiao Jin and Xiao Qin refused.

Boss Wei tried to persuade them in every way, but they just refused to take it.

In the end, it was only after Cheng Shan stepped in that everyone accepted it.

Finally, after giving the red envelope, Boss Wei said to Fang Yi in a flattering manner: "Master, can I ask for your contact information? You can contact me when you come to Hangzhou in the future, and I will treat you well."

Fang Yi understood the other party's thoughts and did not deny him face in public, "Okay, leave me a contact."

He exchanged contacts with Boss Wei.

Boss Wei was finally satisfied, then he drank a glass of wine and left.

At this time, the dinner was almost over.

After Cheng Shan paid the bill, everyone got up and walked outside, preparing to sit at his house for a while.

…

Back to the car.

As soon as Xu Xiaoli got into the driver's seat, she exclaimed, "Master, this Boss Wei is so generous. I didn't do anything, but he actually gave me a red envelope of 2,000 yuan."

Fang Yi smiled and said, "Boss Wei is indeed a very good person."

As he spoke, he also became a little curious.

Boss Wei gave such generous red envelopes to Xu Xiaoli, Xiao Qin and Xiao Jin.

Why is the amount given to myself, Zhu Changqing and Cheng Shan so thin?

Fang Yi took out the red envelope to find out what was inside.

Open it and there is a check.

Oh, it was a check.

Fang Yi pulled it out and took a look.

I saw the amount of 1.8 million clearly written on the cash check.

This amount may seem like a lot, but it is actually not much.

Moreover, Fang Yi could see that Boss Wei put a lot of thought into filling in the amount.

First of all, a red bud pearl holly is worth millions.

Now Fang Yi has helped him save the tree, and giving him one million is equivalent to buying the tree.

Secondly, Cheng Shan charged 400,000 yuan for helping to design the Feng Shui layout.

This time Fang Yi saved the tree.

It not only brings the Feng Shui layout to life.

He also helped Boss Wei find the traitor.

It's impossible that he would only give 400,000, right?

So on top of the one million, we gave an additional 800,000.

Part of it is the appearance fee.

The other part is the reward for catching the traitor.

As for why the total amount was not rounded up to two million.

Fang Yi guessed that Boss Wei was afraid that if he gave him too much, he would be unhappy.

After all, he had previously shown that he regarded money as dirt.

He is a wonderful person.

Fang Yi smiled, shook his head and stuffed the cash check back into the red envelope.

He was not at all particularly happy about receiving the huge sum of 1.8 million.

If he had seen this amount of money in the past, he would have fainted with excitement.

It’s just that Fang Yi is now devoted to seeking immortality and has little regard for money.

My emotions will never fluctuate too much depending on how much money I have.

To put it bluntly, if he wasn't short of money this time, worried that he wouldn't have enough money to buy ginseng for his practice, and wanted to give some money to his parents, he wouldn't even bother to earn this money.

The money issue has been resolved.

Next, I should see if I can borrow some magic from Cheng Shan.
