Longevity starts with strengthening the internal organs

First grade of junior high school.

New year new life.

As soon as Zhao Ya got up, he heard someone knocking on the door outside. When he opened the door, he saw that it was Tan Dong.

I saw him cupping his fists and cupping his hands, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, happy New Year, I'm here to wish you a happy new year."

"Happy New Year, come in!"

After entering the house, Tan Dong saw Tang Zui'er in new clothes. His eyes lit up and he blurted out: "Sister-in-law is so beautiful today."

After saying this, Tang Zui'er's face turned red. After bringing tea and snacks, he quickly turned around and left.

After Tan Dong sat down, he cracked melon seeds and looked around. Seeing that the house was clean and tidy, he couldn't help but envy him.

"Brother Zhao, you are still very good. It's hard to find a virtuous and gentle girl like my sister-in-law!"

"There's so much nonsense!" Zhao Ya scolded with a smile, "Don't leave at noon, let's have some drinks."

"Okay, but not here."

"Where to go?"

"Of course it's my home. To tell you the truth, my father and brother are both back. They all want to meet you, so they asked me to come over and invite you and your sister-in-law to have dinner at noon."

"Oh? Your father is back?"

"Yes, my father is very busy all day long, so he only has two days of rest during the Chinese New Year."

Zhao Ya's heart moved.

During this time, I have been worrying about the flesh and blood of alien beasts. Now that Tan Dong's father is back, I just want to ask him for advice.

"Okay, I haven't met my uncle yet, so I just want to pay him a visit this time."

After chatting for a few more words, Tan Dong left first.

Zhao Ya told Tang Zui'er that he was going to Tan Dong's house for dinner at noon.

Tang Zui'er couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this.

"I...do I still want to go?"

"Of course, Tan Dong has invited you by name, so you don't have to be afraid, just come over and have a casual meal."

Zhao Ya knew that Tang Zui'er was timid by nature and was afraid of contact with strangers, so he comforted her softly.

"Okay... okay, then I'll clean it up."

After Tang Zui'er finished packing, Zhao Ya led her out the door and walked towards Dong Tan's house.

Zhao Ya bought a few more souvenirs on the way. After all, it was the first time to meet Tan Dong's father, so it was a bit shameful to go there empty-handed.

After arriving at Tan's house, an old servant had been waiting here. When he saw Zhao Ya and Tang Zui'er arriving, he quickly led them in.

Today's Tan family is very lively, with a steady stream of people coming to visit.

Moreover, Zhao Ya noticed that most of these people had a rough aura, and they should all be from the world.

At this time Tan Dong also rushed over.

"Brother Zhao, go to my room first. My father is meeting guests and will come over later."

"good!"

After arriving at Tan Dong's bedroom, Zhao Ya couldn't help but said: "I can't tell that my uncle has a wide range of contacts. So many people from the world come to visit."

Tan Dong sighed, "What kind of people are there? To put it bluntly, they are people from various gangs outside Wuxiang City. At this time every year, they come to visit my father."

Zhao Ya was a little surprised.

Who is Tan Dong's father that allows people from all the major gangs in the outer city to come and visit him?

While he was thinking about it, he heard the sound of footsteps outside, and then saw a thin old man walking into the house.

The old man is in his sixties, but he takes good care of himself and looks like a shrewd shopkeeper.

Behind the old man followed a young man whose facial features were vaguely similar to Tan Dong's, but his figure was much burlier than Tan Dong's, and his movements were even more powerful.

Zhao Ya especially noticed that the man's hands were iron-gray in color and had stubby fingers. He had obviously practiced martial arts like Iron Sand Palm.

Zhao Ya was thinking in his mind, then he took two steps, cupped his fists and cupped his hands and said, "I'm Zhao Ya, I've met Uncle Tan."

The old man looked at Zhao Ya carefully for a moment, then gave a thumbs up and praised him.

"What a brave and handsome young man. No wonder Erlang mentioned you to me again and again after I came home. It's really extraordinary."

"Uncle is so complimentary!"

"Hahaha, this must be Miss Zui'er. She is indeed a beauty. She is really talented and beautiful."

Tang Zui'er's face turned red with embarrassment, and he gave a moment of blessing, but did not dare to speak.

"Come on, it's rare that it's so lively today, so let's have a drink." Father Tan said with a smile.

The food has been prepared, and after everyone sat down, there was a lot of drinking and drinking.

After drinking for three times, Zhao Ya finally found out that Tan Dong's father was named Tan Ziwang, and that this burly man was Tan Dong's eldest brother Tan Bin.

The father and son have been working in the inner city and cannot come back easily.

At this time, Tan Ziwang put down his wine glass and looked at Zhao Ya with a smile.

"I heard that Xiaoya has now mastered bone refining?"

"yes."

"Well, it's quite good to have such a level of cultivation at your age. Erlang also told me that you have been worrying about the flesh and blood of alien beasts recently, right?"

Zhao Ya knew that the main show was coming, so he put down his chopsticks and nodded solemnly.

"That's right, the amount of flesh and blood from exotic beasts I need has greatly increased since I completed the bone refining process, so I've been worrying about this matter."

Tan Ziwang asked: "How much do you need?"

"At least twenty taels of dried earthworm meat every month."

Four pieces of dried earthworms make one tael. Under normal circumstances, Zhao Ya needs at least three pieces a day, so in one month he will have twenty-two and a half taels of dried earthworms.

This is still a conservative estimate, but coupled with the fact that the escort agency is responsible for the meal at noon, it is barely enough.

"Twenty taels of dried earthworm meat..." Tan Ziwang thought for a moment and then said.

"Let's do this. From now on, I can provide you with twenty-five taels of dried earthworm meat every month. Is that enough?"

Zhao Ya's eyes lit up, "What's the price?"

Zhao Ya had long known that Tan Dong's father had a way to get dried earthworm meat, and it should be cheaper than the ghost market.

This is what Zhao Ya cares about most.

Because based on my own consumption, even one tael of dried meat is a big difference.

Tan Ziwang smiled slightly and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked: "The dried meat you bought at the ghost market should cost three taels of silver."

"right!"

"Okay, if I don't want to pay for these dried meats, I can't do it. So, I'll give you the price of one tael of silver."

After hearing this, Zhao Ya perked up and looked at Tan Ziwang in disbelief.

The price of one tael of silver was something Zhao Ya could never have imagined.

Because this is no longer a discount price, but a clearance sale price.

But Zhao Ya soon calmed down and said in a deep voice: "What do you need from me?"

Seeing Zhao Ya acting so calmly, Tan Ziwang had a look of appreciation on his face.

"No wonder Xiaoya, you are able to achieve such achievements at such a young age. You are really smart."

"But don't think too much about it. The reason why I help you is because you have a close relationship with Erlang. You are also a junior of mine, so naturally I will help you if I can."
