I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 787: Comparing Goods Makes You Want to Throw Them Away

"Hahaha, Little Saber is on fire! Crashed a certain site twice in one day!"

In a private room of a specialty restaurant, Deng Pao Pao raised his glass and laughed out loud.

Zhao Xiaodao raised his glass of orange juice for a toast with Deng Pao Pao, "My fans are all suspecting it's your tonic that did me in."

Deng Pao Pao immediately got anxious, "No, it's not me. I didn't do it. Don't talk nonsense. I'm strong enough, no need for a tonic!"

Zhao Xiaodao looked unconvinced, clearly skeptical.

Lu Zheng chimed in with a laugh, "The moment I walked in, I could smell the goji berries in your thermos."

Deng Pao Pao: (⊙o⊙)

Deng Pao Pao asked in shock, "You can really smell that?"

You should know that his thermos was still in his bag and sealed tight.

After speaking, Deng Pao Pao turned sly and asked, "Does it work?"

Lu Zheng rolled his eyes, "Don't you already know the answer to that?"

"Ahem!" Deng Pao Pao coughed twice, raised his glass for a toast with Lu Zheng, "I used to push myself hard when I was younger. Now it's time to maintain, right? It's normal."

Lu Zheng looked at Deng Pao Pao twice, "You know Duan Yu Kai, don't you? How come Elder Duan didn't prescribe you some medicine?"

Deng Pao Pao was stunned for a moment, "I'm not sick, what medicine would I need? President Duan just said soaking goji berries was enough, no need for weird tonics."

Actually, Deng Pao Pao is just in his early forties, and he's about the same generation as Zhao Xiaodao, not quite the age for tonics.

However, middle-aged people soaking goji berries in their thermos is pretty standard practice.

Lu Zheng nodded, "Elder Duan makes a good point. The effects of that stuff are limited; psychological more than physical. Exercising more would be better."

With that, Lu Zheng turned and asked, "Do you have time tomorrow?"

Deng Pao Pao's eyes lit up, "Yes, yes, yes!"

"If you have time, let's meet up. I'll give you a jar of wine tomorrow. Drink a little every three days, it'll keep you strong and full of spirit," Lu Zheng said, "Oh, and Lady Sun can drink it too, for beauty and skin care."

Lady Sun's eyes sparkled and she raised her glass quickly to thank him with Deng Pao Pao, "Thank you, Brother Lu!"

Although it wasn't the elixir meant for Zhao Xiaodao, a medicinal wine that Lu Zheng recommended had to be good stuff.

"You're welcome," Lu Zheng smiled, then turned to Zhao Xiaodao and said, "What time are you leaving tomorrow? If you're not in a hurry, come along, and take a jar with you."

"Thanks, Brother Lu! I won't be shy then!"

Zhao Xiaodao had a closer relationship with Lu Zheng and Lin Wan, since Lin Wan had once saved his life in a tight spot, making them life buddies, so he wasn't shy to say, "I'm leaving tomorrow night."

Lu Zheng nodded with a smile, "Then let's meet at a tea house. I recently got some good tea and would like to share it with you all."

Deng Pao Pao hurriedly said, "I'll handle that, I know quite a few nice tea houses."

Since he lives in Hai City, besides being an actor, he also owns several companies. For business meetings and social gatherings, many take place in tea houses. So, he's quite familiar with the top tea houses in the city.

"Alright, tomorrow afternoon then."

...

After a meal, everyone went their separate ways.

Deng Pao Pao returned home and started rummaging through cupboards looking for tea leaves.

"Where did I put that Longjing tea President Liu gave me last time?"

"Oh, and what about the exquisite Da Hong Pao President Jin sent the other time? Should be impressive enough, right?"

Zhao Xiaodao returned to the hotel and immediately called his assistant, "Quick, quick, quick, cancel tomorrow morning's flight, and rebook for tomorrow evening."

"But tomorrow afternoon, you have a company meeting…"

"Postpone it!"

...

On the next afternoon, Lin Wan didn't go to work, and Lu Zheng casually took three gourds of tonic wine from his stash.

He never runs out of tonic wine, since every year, he sends some to his parents and Lin Wan's mother. Besides Scorpion Wine and Red Centipede Wine, there's also some spirit medicine-infused wine.

To ordinary people, it's a huge tonic. One ten-pound jar is enough to keep them revitalized for a year.

Mind you, Lu Zheng's parents and Lin Wan's mother have been drinking it for several years now, and their skin looks years younger, they're physically robust, eat with gusto, and have the stamina to stay up late, work overtime, hike, and run without feeling tired. It's like they've returned to their thirties.

He put the wine in the trunk, got into the Dongfeng Wind God that Lin Wan specifically left for him, and followed the GPS to a tea house called Danming Tea House.

After parking, he didn't get out of the car immediately but opened the [Hot Pot Group] chat group.

Lu Zheng: Are you here? Come to the parking lot, let's move the wine first.

Deng Pao Pao: Okay!

Zhao Xiaodao: Almost there!

Soon, Deng Pao Pao and his wife, along with Zhao Xiaodao, arrived at the parking lot, each taking a jar of wine to put in their own cars.

Then Lu Zheng carried a backpack and went to the tea house with them.

Entering the elegant room, Lu Zheng was greeted by a rich aroma.

Noticing Lu Zheng raising an eyebrow, Deng Pao Pao chuckled, "Brother Lu is sharing good tea, I can't keep mine hidden, can I? This is a jar of Mingqian Longjing someone gifted me. Have a taste, Brother Lu!"

"Alright!" Lu Zheng laughed.

Since Deng Pao Pao had already brewed Longjing, Lu Zheng wasn't in a hurry to bring out the February Fragrance.

There were four cups on the table, along with a teapot and some beautifully arranged pastries. The environment had a traditional aesthetic with solid wood furniture, and a hint of sandalwood incense filled the air.

"The ambiance is nice."

Deng Pao Pao smiled, "It's one of the best around here. I often come here with friends too."

Lady Sun gave a discreet eye-roll.

Zhao Xiaodao bluntly expressed his skepticism, "I don't believe it. Prove it by showing the payment records."

Deng Pao Pao, "..."

...

They ate, drank, and chatted.

The Mingqian Longjing that Deng Pao Pao brought was indeed a treasure, filling the room with fragrance, refreshing the spirit.

If it weren't being compared to the February Fragrance, that is.

After enjoying a pot of Longjing, Lu Zheng took a can of February Fragrance out of his backpack and called the service staff in, handing her the tea canister.

Soon, she returned carrying a teapot; the fragrance followed all the way.

"So fragrant!"

Deng Pao Pao sniffed the air, wide-eyed, as he saw the service staff with a tray stepping into the room, a teapot on it containing clear tea and beautiful leaves.

The service staff poured tea for the four of them, placed the teapot down with a "please enjoy," and then discreetly stepped out.

Deng Pao Pao took a sip, "This is so aromatic! Much better than my Mingqian Longjing. I really embarrassed myself just now."

Zhao Xiaodao consoled, "Your Mingqian Longjing was already pretty good."

Hearing this, Deng Pao Pao thanked Zhao Xiaodao seriously for helping him save face, "Still, Little…"

"Comparison can be cruel," Zhao Xiaodao added immediately.

Deng Pao Pao, "..."
