Hinata looked up.
"A quiz?"
Zhang Yu nodded.
Four questions.
"If you two answer quickly and accurately, I'll give you an extra bottle of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor)."
Ino immediately perked up.
"No problem!"
Hinata nodded earnestly.
I will try my best.
Zhang Yu looked at the two of them, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Question 1."
Who cooked the meal?
Ino didn't even think about it.
"Chef!"
Zhang Yu shook his head.
"Wrong."
Ino was stunned.
"Ah?"
Zhang Yu was very serious.
"Think again, what do people usually call out when the food is cooked?"
Hinata whispered, "Is dinner ready?"
Zhang Yu nodded.
"Yes, the food is ready. Who called you to eat?"
Ino reacted extremely quickly.
"Dad?"
Zhang Yu smiled.
"Very good, first question passed."
Ino blinked, sensing that something was off.
But Zhang Yu has already asked the second question.
Question 2.
Who's the first person to wake you up for training every morning?
Hinata instinctively said, "Father."
Zhang Yu shook his head.
"Let's use the most common way of calling it."
Ino answered quickly.
"Dad!"
Zhang Yu nodded.
The second question is passed.
Hinata blushed and let out a sigh of relief.
Zhang Yu continued.
"Question 3."
If someone in your family buys you new clothes, what should you call them?
Ino had figured out the pattern this time and immediately spoke up.
"Dad!"
Zhang Yu nodded in satisfaction.
The third question is passed.
Hyuga Hiashi and Inoichi Yamanaka stood to the side, their expressions gradually becoming subtle.
Something's not right.
This question sounds a bit strange.
But the two girls were too focused to react at all.
Zhang Yu raised his last finger.
"The last question."
"If I were to give you an extra bottle of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) right now, what would you call me?"
Ino and Hinata spoke almost simultaneously.
"Dad!"
The lobby was deathly quiet.
After Ino shouted, she froze on the spot.
Hinata was a beat slow to react. By the time she realized what she had said, her face turned bright red, and she almost buried her head in her chest.
"I... I didn't mean that..."
Ino panicked too.
" Boss Zhang Yu! Something's wrong with this question!"
Zhang Yu almost lost his composure.
He coughed lightly, forcibly suppressing his laughter.
The question is fine.
"All four questions were answered correctly."
Ino glared at him.
"You did it on purpose!"
Zhang Yu nodded seriously.
"But you got it right."
Ino was momentarily speechless, unable to find a rebuttal.
Hyuga Hiashi stood to the side, his expression calm, but the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Inoichi Yamanaka even raised his hand to cover his forehead.
He never imagined that while buying a bottle of wine, he would hear his daughter call someone else "Dad" in front of so many people.
This shock was even more outrageous than seeing Madara Uchiha secretly drinking Hashirama.
Seeing that the two girls were so embarrassed they could barely stand, Zhang Yu finally stopped teasing them.
He raised his hand and patted the Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) on the bar.
"Alright."
"Considering how hard Ino and Hinata pleaded for me, I'll keep my word."
"Bai, go get another bottle."
Bai nodded immediately.
"Yes, Boss Zhang Yu."
He turned and went to the cold storage.
Hyuga Hiashi and Inoichi Yamanaka both looked at Zhang Yu.
Inoichi Yamanaka asked, " Boss Zhang Yu, is there really one more bottle?"
Zhang Yu waved his hand.
"Originally, there really wasn't any."
"But both children have begged me so much, I can't just let them plead for nothing."
Ino blushed even more.
" Boss Zhang Yu!"
Hinata lowered her head, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible.
"Please, please stop talking..."
Zhang Yu smiled and stopped teasing.
Not long after, Bai returned carrying a new bottle of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor).
Two bottles of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) were placed side by side on the bar counter.
Hyuga Hiashi and Inoichi Yamanaka's gazes froze.
Zhang Yu pushed the newly taken-out bottle in front of Inoichi Yamanaka.
"Consider this bottle a gift from me."
"It's not for the Inoichi chief, it's for Ino and Hinata."
"They begged for it on your behalf."
Inoichi Yamanaka was stunned.
"How could I possibly accept this?"
Zhang Yu said directly, "Sorry, I'll bring more people next time."
After hearing Inoichi Yamanaka finally smiled.
"Then I'll shamelessly accept it."
Ino immediately breathed a sigh of relief, her face beaming with joy.
"Thank you, Boss Zhang Yu!"
Zhang Yu then pushed the original bottle in front of Hyuga Hiashi.
"As for this bottle, its original price was 100,000 taels."
"Does Chief Hiashi still want it?"
Hyuga Hiashi did not hesitate for a moment.
"Want."
He immediately took out the money and placed a full 100,000 taels on the bar.
"Thank you very much Boss Zhang Yu, for today."
Zhang Yu put away the money and tickets, in a great mood.
"You're welcome."
"If you want to buy wine next time, come earlier."
Hyuga Hiashi nodded solemnly.
"Must."
Hinata felt happy as she watched her father receive the sake.
She whispered, "Thank you, Boss Zhang Yu."
Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Next time you come, I'll save some for you."
Hinata nodded, her cheeks flushed.
"Um."
Ino immediately objected.
"And what about mine?"
Zhang Yu looked at her.
"You have one too."
Ino was finally satisfied.
That's more like it.
The two clan leaders bought wine, and the two girls also ate snacks and drank cola. When they left, their steps were lighter than when they came.
Inoichi Yamanaka held the bottle of complimentary wine, his face beaming with an irrepressible smile.
Hyuga Hiashi carried a bottle of premium Erguotou liquor bought for 100,000 taels of silver. His expression was serious, but he couldn't hide his satisfaction.
Ino walked to the door, then turned back and waved to Zhang Yu.
" Boss Zhang Yu, I'll be back next time!"
Hinata also lowered her head slightly.
See you next time.
Bai stood at the door, her voice gentle.
Welcome back next time.
After the four left, the tavern's front hall became quiet.
Zhang Yu glanced down at the 100,000 tael notes in his hand, feeling incredibly pleased.
One bottle is given away as a gift, the other is sold for 100,000.
What was given was a favor.
What's sold is profit.
Most importantly, the Yamanaka and Hyuga families will definitely come again in the future.
This deal made them incredibly rich.
Just then, a system notification sounded.
[bite!]
[Task complete.]
[Task Name: The Hyuga Clan Chief's High-Priced Order.]
[Task Statistics: One bottle of premium Erguotou liquor was sold for 100,000 taels.]
[Rewards being distributed--]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Premium-grade Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm.]
[Congratulations, host, you have received 5000 gold coins.]
The next second, a wealth of experience with Gentle Fist flooded into Zhang Yu's mind.
The way Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm exerts its power, the rhythm of Chakra release, and the angle at which the palm strikes through the air all become crystal clear.
Zhang Yu simply raised his hand slightly, and he felt a familiar, instinctive force exertion in his palm.
The system had previously granted him mastery of the Gentle Fist technique.
Now, Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm has also been added.
It can fight at close range and also blast enemies from a distance.
The Hyuga Clan's skills, in his hands, don't even need to be restricted by the Byakugan.
Comfortable.
Before Zhang Yu could even process it, another system notification sounded.
