Chapter 79 (2/2)

Shortly after, Tang Xiu sent Long Zhenglin out. The villa turned silent again, and he began to think about the recipe for the new product. He needed to guarantee the new product’s quality while also adding a good flavor at the same time.

_“How can I check other beverages’ recipes?”_

With such crossing thoughts in his mind, Tang Xiu thought to leave but then decided to ask someone as he dialed Kang Xia’s number to ask.

“Tang Xiu, what’s up?”

Kang Xia’s hazy dim voice transmitted from the phone.

Tang Xiu halted for a moment and looked at the time. He suddenly realized as an awkward expression emerged on his face. After all, it was almost 2 AM.

“I’m really sorry. I forgot it’s sleeping time. There’s something that I want to ask you.”

“What’s the problem?”

Tang Xiu asked, “According to your business management vast experience, what should I do to find out about other beverages’ recipes?”

“Find Madam Du!” Kang Xia replied with a sour mood. [2]

“Who’s this Madam Du? She knows those drinks’ recipes?” Tang Xiu couldn’t help asking back with a deep confusion in his mind.

Kang Xia’s soul abruptly sobered up. She replied with a dumbfounded tone, “Holy mother! Aren’t you the world’s new genius? How come you don’t even know about Madam Du? It’s BAIDU! Access the internet and find it via Baidu, you got it?! But you won’t find complete recipes from the internet and those labels on the products’ bottle. Besides, there’s no way the manufacturers would reveal their products’ secret.”

Tang Xiu said, “It’s alright, I know it too. Thanks.”

Kang Xia asked, “You want to set up a beverage business?”

Tang Xiu replied truthfully, “I do have this idea. But I don’t have the recipe, so I want to study it.”

Kang Xia was speechless. She couldn’t help but mutter in her heart, _“Do you think the recipes are very easy to study? If it were so easy, there would have been countless beverage products popping up on Earth!”_

But she suddenly recalled the 2 cosmetics’ formulas from Tang Xiu and also mused, _“Could it be that those 2 cosmetic formulas were also created by him on such a whim?”_

Kang Xia’s heart suddenly sunk…

Tang Xiu didn’t know that his call had made Kang Xia’s mood turn messy, even causing insomnia. He hung up the phone and tried to search other drink information on the Internet. But he was quickly stunned since he recalled that he didn’t have a computer, he didn’t even have the Internet quota on his phone.

“Ah, forget about it. Haste and impatience will only waste everything. I should buy a computer when I have the time. It wouldn’t be too late to find it later after I have internet.”

Tang Xiu shook his head, put down all his thoughts and prepared to sleep. Besides, he must go to Jingmen Island with Gong Dalong tomorrow, so he had to be in top condition and full of spirit.

Jingmen Island was a large isolated island located in the South China Sea. After having undergone a few decades of development, the island had transformed into a bustling international metropolis. It also acted as an important transport hub in Southeast Asia with prosperous tourism industries, which helped improve Jingmen Island’s economy by leap and bounds.

At Jingmen Island’s Airport…

Jia Yelei stood restlessly at the airport’s exit gate. His eyes constantly fixated at the stream of unceasing tourists who were coming out from the airport. Along with the deep regret inside his heart, he also anticipated, and was full of hope that his First Senior Brother would be able to invite the Gambling Master whose gambling techniques was highly praised by his father.

He knew that his father was still gambling with those bastards who pitted him on those fraud games. Perhaps a minute later, the capital his father lost would likely increase more.

“If that Master isn’t good, perhaps we will never rise again in our entire lives.” He lamented with a heart full bitterness.

“Yelei!” A shout came from the corner of the people stream.

Jia Yelei followed the voice’s source as a pleasant and surprised expression immediately appeared on his face. He quickly approached and greeted, “First Senior Brother, you finally came back. Is this the Gambling Master?”

[1] The raws didn’t say Hercules though… it’s just “amazingly strong” literally. I just use Hercules because he was physically strong (in the story that is). But, no way in hell if I know whether Hercules was so damn strong in the bed since I’ve never read that part about Viagra-Hercules in any literatures…

[2] 度娘 (Duniang): Alternative name for Baidu, literally can be translated to Mother/Madam Du. So for the sake of the flow, I use Madam Du since Tang Xiu didn’t know about Baidu or even internet?
