Chapter 81: Transaction at the Dinner Table

Qin Siyang's eyes almost popped out when he saw the words "braised pig's trotters with fermented bean curd".

"This... this dish, this braised pig's trotters with fermented bean curd, is it real pig's trotters?"

Qin Siyang pointed at the name of the dish and raised his head to ask.

The boss smiled: "Little classmate, you have good taste! This dish is my specialty, but it takes a little longer to cook. As for whether it is a pig's trotter, yes, it is a pig's trotter."

"Is it the kind of pig with four legs?"

"Yes."

"Is it the kind of pig with pink skin, two big ears and a bulging mouth?"

"Haha, little classmate is really interesting. Yes, it is the kind of pig you know."

Qin Siyang swallowed his saliva: "Aren't pigs extinct?"

"Extinct? Who said that?"

"If they are not extinct, why do we usually eat mutant creatures such as three-eyed flying fish and blood-red jellyfish."

The boss twisted his mouth, rubbed his pot belly, and smiled: "Little classmate, pigs are not extinct. The reason why you usually eat mutant creatures is very simple."

"Pork is too expensive, and most people can't afford it."

As he said, the boss stretched out his thick fingers and clicked on the menu.

"Just look at the price of this dish and you will know."

Qin Siyang glanced at the price behind the name of the dish.

One thousand two hundred and ninety-nine copper coins? !

Isn't this robbery? !

He was about to question, Zhou Xing said: "Since classmate Qin wants to try this dish, Boss Du, please cook it! You can order two more dishes."

"Okay."

"No, no, no, Uncle Zhou, this dish is too expensive. I'd better order this fried ten-legged octopus."

"Boss Du, add another fried ten-legged octopus."

"Okay!"

Qin Siyang was stunned: "Uncle Zhou, that's not what I mean. The pig's trotter can be omitted."

Zhou Xing adjusted his black glasses and said with a smile: "I'm treating you to a meal, it can't be too shabby. After all, our classmate Qin will become a big man in the safe zone in the future!"

Qin Siyang knew that Zhou Xing said this, which meant that he wanted to talk about business, so he no longer focused on the dishes.

"Uncle Zhou, don't say that. Not to mention the future, I don't even know which university I can go to after the assessment."

"So, I'm here to help you."

"Student Qin, have you heard about the special recruitment quota?"

"Yes, Principal Li told me."

"Your [insurer]? Yes, Principal Li should know. What do you think?"

"Of course I am very eager to get a special recruitment quota. But in our area, as you know, it is a bit difficult."

"Yes, you are right."

Zhou Xing picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for the two of them first.

Then he crossed his hands on the table and said very seriously: "It's not easy to get this special recruitment quota. You need favors, background, and connections."

"In our area, only the director of the management bureau has a special recruitment quota. I heard that it was traded not long ago."

"I am a classmate of the director of the admissions office of Xingren University. I worked hard for this special recruitment quota."

Zhou Xing talked about how difficult it was for him to fight for this special recruitment quota.

It seemed that he regarded Qin Siyang as an unsophisticated high school student, so he spoke without reservation, fearing that he would not understand.

Qin Siyang nodded: "I understand. If anyone can get Uncle Zhou's special recruitment quota, he must remember this great favor."

"Besides, there is no point in saying such empty words as "I must repay it in the future". This favor must be repaid immediately!"

"For example, if Uncle Zhou is short of sequence potions, he will definitely provide them to the best of his ability. Uncle Zhou, what do you think?"

Zhou Xing shook the teacup in his hand slightly, as if he did not expect Qin Siyang to say such a thing.

He had never dealt with Qin Siyang, but he deduced that he had some mysterious background through Qin Siyang's possession of [Insurance Person].

In Zhou Xing's eyes, Qin Siyang was just an ordinary teenager. Even when he called him this morning, he was arrogant and ignorant of the world.

However, as soon as he met Qin Siyang, he found that this kid didn't seem that simple.

In addition, the conversation just now directly pointed out what he wanted, which made Zhou Xing even more surprised.

Zhou Xing put down the teacup, leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair, and smiled and re-examined the 17-year-old boy in front of him.

"Did Principal Li teach you to say this, Qin?"

Qin Siyang shook his head: "Principal Li is just an [insurer], not a [nanny]. What I just said came from the bottom of my heart."

Zhou Xing nodded gently: "I have to admit that what Qin said just now really touched my heart. This special recruitment quota is not easy for me to come by, and I want to do something."

"I don't know if I can help Uncle Zhou to fulfill your requirements? As you know, I am a wandering orphan. Now I have nothing but a few silver coins and dozens of bottles of sequence potions."

"If your requirements are beyond my ability, I may not be able to do anything."

Zhou Xing smiled slightly: "Yes, of course I know Qin's situation. I came to you today just to borrow some sequence potions from you."

"Uncle Zhou, what you said is not quite right. How can it be called borrowing? If you need it, I can give you some. How much do you need?"

Qin Siyang no longer beats around the bush.

Since Zhou Xing came for the sequence potions, he directly asked Zhou Xing about the price.

Zhou Xing stretched out five fingers.

"Five bottles?"

"Fifty bottles."

Qin Siyang's smile froze for a moment, and he suppressed his anger and said slowly: "Uncle Zhou wants so many, which makes me feel a little embarrassed."

Fifty bottles is a price that is absolutely unacceptable.

Li Tianming, as his [insurer], only took eight bottles.

If he knew that the special recruitment quota was exchanged for fifty bottles of sequence potions, he would be so angry that he would immediately break up with him.

Zhou Xing said: "Student Qin, you have so many sequence potions in your hands, and you can earn more in the future. You can't sell them at your place, so why not give them to Uncle Zhou, right?"

Qin Siyang shook his head.

Since we are talking about a deal, let's be honest.

"Uncle Zhou, although I am a good student and will never do anything illegal. However, many people have contacted me, hoping to buy a large amount of sequence potions from me at the price of eight silver coins per bottle."

"Uncle Zhou wants to take away four hundred silver coins at once, and it is really difficult for me to agree."

After hearing this, Zhou Xing's face also turned cold.

He thought Qin Siyang didn't know the price of sequence potions and wanted to cheat this young man.

Now, his wishful thinking has failed.

"Thirty bottles."

Qin Siyang still shook his head.

"Uncle Zhou, if you are willing to help me with special recruitment, then we can talk about it."

"You want too much, how can I explain it to others."

Zhou Xing chuckled: "You said you are an orphan, who else do you have to explain to?"

Qin Siyang responded with a cheerful smile:

"Uncle Zhou, have you seen orphans on the edge of the safe zone and the precedent of awakening sequence?"
