Chapter 539 - 255: Stop Buttering Me Up!
The [Jade Dew Bottle] can produce 1000ML of liquor per day.
Converted to weight, that’s about 2 jin.
Since Jiang Tao obtained the [Jade Dew Bottle], he has accumulated more than ten jin.
Today he decided to bring some over to share with Bai Yulan, and he didn’t feel reluctant about it.
After spending time together, he could feel Bai Yulan’s sincerity towards him.
She considered him a friend, so he considered her a friend too.
It’s natural for good friends to share something nice.
"Great wine!"
After a small sip, Bai Yulan’s eyes lit up, and she gave Jiang Tao a thumbs-up with a delighted face.
She had tasted quite a bit of good wine, but this was the first time she tasted something like what Jiang Tao brought today.
"What kind of wine is this?"
Seeing the bare glass bottle with no label, Bai Yulan couldn’t help but curiously ask Jiang Tao.
"I don’t know either. My friend didn’t say what it was called when they gave it to me. But that doesn’t really matter."
Jiang Tao shrugged, giving Bai Yulan a vague response.
"Indeed, those things don’t matter. Let’s eat, try the dishes today and see if they suit your taste."
Bai Yulan laughed and didn’t pursue the matter about the wine further, urging Jiang Tao to start eating while the food was hot.
Jiang Tao didn’t stand on ceremony with Bai Yulan, and he didn’t know what restraint was.
He picked up his chopsticks and grabbed whatever he wanted to eat, as if he were at his own dining table.
The more relaxed he was, the more Bai Yulan appreciated his style.
Tonight’s dinner prepared by Bai Yulan was quite lavish.
Chili-soaked starfish, wasabi-baked lobster, jade-stir-fried sea cucumber, crispy parrotfish, honey-glazed ribs, watercress stewed with aged ginseng, golden millet and sea cucumber soup...
Various high-end ingredients that Jiang Tao rarely came into contact with.
Even though he was now a millionaire with tens of millions.
But since he was a "newly rich" person in a short time.
He wasn’t as experienced in enjoying life as people like Bai Yulan who had lived in wealth for decades.
"The lobster tastes good, delicious, just a bit too small of a portion, not even enough for me alone."
Jiang Tao joked as he used communal chopsticks to place a piece of baked lobster meat onto his plate.
"If you like it, eat more. I usually eat very little at night, not even drinking water after 8 p.m., it’s all yours."
Bai Yulan smiled gently, and with her white jade-like delicate hand, she pushed her portion of golden millet sea cucumber soup towards Jiang Tao.
"Please have mine as well."
"Haha, then I won’t hold back. Can’t help it, reaching middle age, I really need to strengthen my body."
Jiang Tao didn’t stand on ceremony with Bai Yulan, he picked up the small bowl, and took the soup and sea cucumber in one big gulp.
"Haha, with your physical condition, you could probably make the national team. What limits do you have?"
Bai Yulan covered her mouth with a light laugh, her mind instantly recalling his impressive appearance at Ping County’s first health run event.
The committee’s test results were already out.
The samples taken from Jiang Tao showed no problems, not testing positive for any prohibited substances.
Thus, Jiang Tao’s performance was authentic and valid, making him the undisputed first place.
"I’m far from the national team, can’t compare, not even close."
Jiang Tao waved his hand with a smile, looking humble.
After completing multiple special tasks and receiving rewards, his constitution had greatly surpassed that of ordinary people.
He might have even broken the human limit of 100 points, reaching 126 points!
In terms of constitution alone, he might currently be the strongest human on earth!
With enhanced fitness, aside from increased strength, his appetite had also increased significantly.
The dishes prepared by Bai Yulan today were primarily exquisite, with rather small portions.
Jiang Tao was being truthful when he said it wasn’t enough for him alone, he wasn’t joking with Bai Yulan.
"I really wonder how you practice? Others run every day, train daily, covering 700-800, even over a thousand kilometers a month."
"You don’t run at all, yet when you do, it’s so strong."
Bai Yulan looked at Jiang Tao with bright eyes, full of curiosity.
The two had already added each other as friends, and Bai Yulan would often check the step counts of friends on "WeChat Sports."
Among her friends who were also running enthusiasts, they would do at least 20,000 steps a day.
30,000, 40,000, even reaching fifty or sixty thousand steps was common.
Jiang Tao’s daily steps didn’t exceed 3,000, clearly indicating he wasn’t engaging in running exercise.
"Haha, I call it relaxed practice, run when I need to, rest when I should."
"I still haven’t recovered the stamina I spent during the health run event."
As Jiang Tao enjoyed the delicious food, he casually chatted with Bai Yulan.
"Then eat more nutritious food to replenish your body properly."
Bai Yulan, smiling happily, felt it was very interesting to dine and chat with Jiang Tao.
Jiang Tao picked up a piece of parrotfish and looked at Bai Yulan saying:
"Oh right, Sister Bai, about today, I owe you a favor."
"Are you talking about your classmate’s ex-husband? It’s no big deal, you really have a sense of justice."
Bai Yulan smiled, not taking it as a big deal.
What seemed incredibly complicated to Yuan Mengqi was just a phone call for her.
Sometimes, the gap between people is just that vast.
