“A Manor with a Lake seems pretty good.” Tang Wen nodded.”But I like islands more. It’s great to be an Island owner. If there’s a big Island to exchange with me, I’ll give him all the goods. ” “How much do you have?” Xiao Gai asked. “Five hundred lighters, five thousand bottles of wine, five thousand bottles of champagne, and a few thousand boxes of cigarettes.” Tang Wen said. “How much is a pack of cigarettes?” Xiao Gai asked. “There are different kinds of cigarettes. This Phoenix brand costs one tael of gold per box.” Tang Wen replied. “How much is the lighter? I’m talking about the drawing of beautiful women, and the kind that can perform magic?” Xiao Gai asked. “That’s expensive. Twenty taels each, and it’s gold.” Tang Wen said. “That’s quite a lot. ” Li kongfan said. “Let me calculate, it seems to be close to fifty thousand gold taels.” Wei Kang said. “I do have a Big Island, called Holy Turtle Island. It’s in Yanling County, and it was awarded by the royal family for the Meritorious Service our ancestors made in the war.” Xiao Gai said. “Holy Turtle Island?” Tang Wen pretended to be stunned. “What, you know? It was just a deserted island. I’ve only been there twice, fishing. However, there are mosquitoes and weeds everywhere, so I can’t even play with them. ” Xiao Gai said. “I’m not sure,” Tang Wen shook his head. “I’ve exchanged it with you. That Island is useless anyway. I was planning to build a house on the island when I’m interested, but it’ll cost a lot of money, so it’s a bit of a waste. ” Xiao Gai said. “Your Island is just a deserted island where even birds don’t want to shit. There are still people living on the neighboring somi Island, and Pirates often patronize it. If even pirates are unwilling to go to yours, then 50000 gold taels is a little too expensive.” At this time, li kongfan actually came with a godly assist. “A few decades ago, someone offered a million taels, but my grandfather refused to sell it.” Xiao Gai said. “Go and try to sell it now. If you call out a million taels, I guarantee you’ll be drowned in saliva.” Sun Tianjun laughed. “Of course, it’s not worth that much now. The Pirates are so rampant that I don’t even dare to come to the island.” Xiao Gai nodded. “Why don’t you give it to brother Tang at a lower price?” Sun Tianjun said. “That’s quite …” Tang Wen hesitated. “It’s indeed quite a loss. What’s the point of taking a godforsaken Island? They didn’t dare to stay there when Pirates were visiting. 50,000 gold taels was more than enough to buy a house in the provincial capital. On that broken island, it’s all gone. ” Wei Kang said. “Brother Tang, how about you take my Xinyue villa?” Sun Tianjun said. “Brother Tang likes the island, so what about the Xinyue villa? It wasn’t even as big as other people’s Mei mansion, and it was even less cost – effective. Brother Tang, how about this? give me 200 plates of your three – Striped fish and 200 cans of various kinds of canned food. I’ll give you five thousand gold taels in exchange for this Island. How about it?” Xiao Gai said. “Brother Xiao, just two hundred plates of three – Striped fish alone cost a few thousand taels of gold. In addition to a few hundred cans, chicken feet, and so on, it’s worth seven to eight thousand taels of gold. I can’t exchange for this.” Tang Wen shook his head with a determined look. “Then sell me your wine, champagne, and lighters.” Xiao Gai said. “I’m afraid we can’t do that. I’ve already talked to someone. We’ll exchange the goods for the island.” Tang Wen shook his head. “I’ll add another 5000 gold. Brother Tang, we’ll be friends from now on. You’ll know what kind of person I, Xiao Gai, am then,” Xiao Gai slapped the table and stood up. “Aren’t you rich? just give me twenty thousand taels.” Sun Tianjun said. “Ten thousand taels, no more.” Xiao Gai said. “Alright, it’s worth it to be friends. I, Tang Wen, like friends. Women are like clothes. I can change them whenever I’m tired of them. But friends are like hands and feet, can you cut them off?” Tang Wen gritted his teeth and said. “No wonder a person like you can’t find a wife even when you’re almost seventeen years old. You’ll never find one.” At this moment, Gu hanyan, who was standing beside them, was so angry that she spilled wine on Tang Wen. Xiao Gai and the others were stunned. They glanced at Gu hanyan and wanted to laugh, but they were too embarrassed to do so. “Why are you, a servant, interrupting when the master is talking? Get lost. ” Tang Wen’s face turned serious. “I don’t want to serve you and leave you alone.” Gu hanyan slammed the wine pot on the table and left in a Huff. “Hahaha …” As soon as Gu hanyan left, everyone started laughing wildly. “Brother Tang, your servant is really …” “Amazing! He’s old and ugly, and he has a big temper.” “Brother Tang, how can you stand it? If it were me, I would have sold her to a brothel to receive customers. ” “She’s so old. Who would be willing to take care of her business?” Hahaha … BOOM! A loud bang came from outside, as if something had collapsed. “What’s going on?” Xiao Gai shouted angrily. “L – Master, it was Lord Tang’s servant who kicked the flower bed down.” A servant ran in and said in a panic. “It’s so ferocious?” Sun Tianjun and the others immediately shrank their necks. “Hehe, everyone, she’s just like that. Let’s not talk about her, let’s not talk about her.” Tang Wen smiled. “That’s right, why are you fussing over a little servant? Butler, immediately get someone to write the contract. Tomorrow, we’ll bring it to the Yamen to change.” Xiao Gai shouted. After eating, Xiao Gai was afraid that Tang Wen would go back on his word, so he immediately gave the gold notes to him. Tang Wen also wrote a receipt, and he could get it back after the delivery. Downstairs, Xiao Gai chased away his best friends and went back to his room to play with his lighter. Li kongfan’s eyes were as red as rabbit ears. However, Xiao Gai said that he would give some to his brothers after the goods arrived. “It’s done?” Tang Wen turned around. When he heard that the Holy Turtle Island was in his hands, Luo Yiwu and the others all looked at him in a daze. “Of course, this is a contract.” Tang Wenliang took it out, and Luo Yiwu and the others fought to pass it on. “Master, how much did you spend?” Li Quan asked. “I didn’t spend a single cent, and I even earned ten thousand gold.” Tang Wen said with a smile. “Master, you’re Xiao Gai’s father? Or perhaps, his grandfather?” Gu hanyan curled her lips and mocked. “I’m even closer to his father than his own. ” Tang Wen laughed and said,”Qiao Xiao, you and Li Quan hurry back to somi Island and bring the wine, champagne, and canned food over.” Right, there was also champagne. Bring it over along with the freezer … We’ll try to transport them to the provincial capital by tomorrow morning. Oh right, ask Tian Hao to bring a group of experts over and prepare a few big nets. ” “Could it be that master is using these Western goods to exchange for the divine Turtle Island?” Luo Yiwu asked. “Hahaha …” Tang Wen looked up and laughed wildly. “But these are also valuable. They’re all Western goods and are too difficult to get back.” Luo Yiwu muttered. “Don’t worry. We have our channels. We don’t have to worry about running out of stock.” Tang Wen waved his hand. Of course, he didn’t dare to say anything more about the beautiful woman on the lighter. Gu hanyan was already on the verge of exploding when she performed the magic trick earlier. If she continued to talk nonsense now, she would probably turn hostile and spit blood on him. On the other hand, he secretly instructed Li Quan to bring more over. At midnight, Gu hanyan finally finished setting up all the surveillance equipment with Tang Wen’s guidance. “Hanyan, you’re quite smart. You can finish your apprenticeship today. From now on, you can arrange for the water and electricity workers to install and debug these things independently. ” Tang Wen said with a smile. “I’m not a fool. I’ve been learning for so long and I still can’t learn it?” Gu hanyan rolled her eyes at him and said,”but what’s the point of installing it? it’s good for guarding against theft and fire, but it’s nonsense to use it to guard against ghosts.” “That, perhaps it’s my illusion.” Tang Wen said. “You’re just a coward! You’re still a man, but you’re not as good as us little girls. ” Gu hanyan’s face was full of disdain. “Why don’t you sleep with me? that way, I won’t be afraid.” Tang Wen said lecherously. “I’ll accompany you whenever you hit me. Otherwise, don’t even think about it for the rest of your life. ” Gu hanyan’s face stiffened. However, Tang Wen found that the ‘human figurine’ on her head was looking shy.
