Chapter 681: Not Worthy of Being a Profiteer, Divination Is Playing with Fate (1/2)
Chapter 681: Not worthy of being a profiteer, divination plays with fate
"Ah!" Potts screamed, but her voice weakened almost the next moment, but the panic on her face turned into relaxation and enjoyment
"Pepper, are you okay?" Stark asked worriedly.
"I...how should I put it? Very good, extremely good." Potts said incoherently, "It's like I've been standing for decades, but suddenly sat down today." "Relax the mind, promote blood circulation, and eliminate fatigue." Aaron introduced proudly, "This is the effect of acupuncture cactus. It can adjust the number and depth of needles according to the weight and breathing of the human body." "It's a bit exaggerated." Stark pursed his lips, "Do you only have this bed here?" "There is only this one at the moment." Aaron's face showed a trace of embarrassment. After all, this thing is really expensive. "I plan to make a physical therapy area here, but in the initial stage...you know it!" "Yes, of course I understand." "Ms. Potts, you can get up." "So soon?" "You are experiencing it for free, but the real guests are still waiting next to you!" Aaron glanced at Stark, implying something. Potts chuckled and got off the acupuncture cactus. "Tony, you really have to experience this."
"Okay, since you've persuaded me like this, I'll give it a try reluctantly." Stark said proudly while taking off his coat.
"Should I take off one or two more pieces?"
"The best effect is to be naked, but it doesn't matter. The needles on it are very soft and won't pierce through clothes."
Stark raised his eyebrows, took a deep breath and lay down.
"Hiss! It's stimulating, it feels like an electric current is drilling into my body, but this feeling...
Comfortable, I feel like I can stay up all night."
"It's better not to have that idea." Aaron reminded, "Acupuncture cactus is more effective than steam sauna and massage, but it can't replace sleep."
"I bought it." Stark said arrogantly. If the studio had such a massage chair, his scientific research efficiency would be at least 10% higher.
"This is not for sale."
"Please, Aaron, don't be so stubborn, okay?
You opened the store to make money. You can get a very generous reward if you sell it to me."
"I believe this, but I also have principles." Aaron said seriously, "I am indeed short of money, but not everything can be solved with money.
Acupuncture cactus is the specialty of Gaius Pepsi House. Not for sale means not for sale."
"Stingy." Stark curled his lips and left the bed reluctantly.
"Thank you for your patronage, five hundred dollars."
Stark rolled his eyes. Do you need to remind me of this?
Would I, Tony Stark, owe you five hundred dollars?
"Let's settle it together. Potts and I haven't had lunch yet!"
"Please come this way." Aaron made a gesture of invitation and took the two to the dining area.
Although there is only one kitchen and four dining tables, the decoration is still elegant.
"Uh... Is there a menu?" Potts looked at the empty table and said.
"Unfortunately, no."
"Didn't you have time to prepare?"
"No, really." Aaron said with a smile, "I'm the boss of my restaurant. You can eat whatever you want, but the specific dishes depend on my mood."
"What?" Potts twitched his mouth in surprise, "So what do you have today?"
"You two are lucky. Today's ingredients are beef and caviar."
"Just these two!" Stark sat down casually, "Two servings."
"Okay, but let me say this in advance. One serving of beef is one thousand dollars, and caviar is five hundred dollars."
"Are you sure you want to talk to me about money?" Stark teased.
"I know money is just a number to you, but I don't want to be called a profiteer by Miss Potts, so it's better to make the price clear in advance." Hearing this, Stark looked at Potts on the side, "Pepper, what do you think?" "You are the boss!" "Two servings, do you have any drinks?" "Mango juice, one hundred dollars a cup." "Profiteer." Stark blurted out, "Congratulations on getting the evaluation of a profiteer's profiteer." "It's an honor." Aaron smiled proudly, "But I can guarantee that it's worth the money, do you want a cup?" "What do you think?" Stark looked disgusted, "Do I look like someone who can't afford a drink worth one hundred dollars? I drink wine worth millions as plain water." "OK, wait a moment." Aaron turned and went into the kitchen. "Is fate's guidance to let you come to support us?" Potts asked in confusion. "It's just a whim!" Stark spread his hands, "I'm just in a good mood today and don't want to stay in the studio.
Obadiah has to deal with the board of directors, and Rod is still working hard on the Air Force exercise, so I just thought of this boy."
"Correction, Mr. Stark." Aaron's voice came out, "I'm not a boy a few months ago."
"Then you are far worse than me."
"This only shows that I am more self-disciplined than you, and I am different from you. I found true love."
"True love? This is not something people of your age can understand."
"Wait until you find true love!
The kind that can stay together for a lifetime and support each other."
Stark's expression froze, and his eyes involuntarily glanced at Potts, but then quickly moved away.
"What about your true love? Why isn't she with you?"
"For some reason, we have to separate for a while, but I'm sure they will wait for me."
"They... them?" Stark's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement, "You mean true love with quotation marks?"
"No." Aaron opened the kitchen door and brought out two glasses of clear light yellow drinks, "Mango juice for you two."
"Thank you."
Potts handed Stark a glass and took a sip himself.
"Huh?"
Potts' eyes widened, and then he drank it in big gulps.
Gulp!
A glass of drink was quickly finished, and the cool and sweet feeling moisturized every cell in the body, as if injecting new vitality and energy into the body.
"Are you that thirsty?"
"No, not really. Try it yourself. It's really different." Potts said happily, "It's as refreshing as diving into a pile of ice cubes in the summer."
Stark hesitated for a moment, gently brought the cup to his lips, and carefully tilted the cup to let the cool liquid slowly flow into his mouth.
Sure enough, the unique taste and flavor moisturized the dry throat and brought a certain sense of satisfaction to the body and brain.
Snap!
Stark slapped the empty cup on the solid wood dining table, "Another one."
"I'll have another one too." Potts smiled.
"I said it's worth the money." Aaron said with a smile, "The food in my store is nutritious, healthy, and beneficial to the human body.
Most importantly, it tastes great."
"I take back my previous evaluation. One hundred dollars a cup is definitely a conscience price. If I sell it, the price can be ten times higher.
You are not a profiteer, you don't deserve it."
"Thank you for the compliment." Aaron refilled the two with a glass of mango juice. "The lunch you ordered can be prepared in five minutes. My suggestion is to drink less."
Back in the kitchen, Aaron took out a kilogram of white-haired Cindy Lala beef from the refrigerator.
The beef was cut into pieces evenly, the green onions were cut into sections, and fried at high temperature. A thin layer of oil was dripped on the iron plate, and the green onions and beef were stir-fried together, and a little salt and cumin were used for seasoning.
Finally, two servings of beef with green onions and two small plates of salmon roe were served on the table.
The aroma was fragrant. Stark and Potts looked at the food in front of them and couldn't wait to pick up the fork to enjoy it.
As the beef entered their mouths, the satisfaction and refreshing taste instantly swept their brains.
Potts still had the reserve of a woman. Although she ate very quickly, she managed to eat one bite at a time. However, Stark almost buried his face in the plate and wolfed it down without any image.
"It's delicious, really delicious." Stark wiped his mouth with an ordinary napkin, then picked up the drink and drank it. "I have never eaten such delicious beef. It is much better than those so-called A5 Wagyu beef."
"This is beef from the white-haired Cindy Layla cow. It is rich in collagen and can make the skin smoother."
"Oh my God!" Potts touched his face in surprise, "I thought it was an illusion."
"It's not an illusion, but the improvement is relatively mild. You can think of it as a health product."
"Another plate." Stark said.
"Sorry, each person can only eat one serving per day, but drinks are unlimited."
"You know?" Stark deliberately joked, "You will delay your fortune by several years?"
"I'm not interested in getting rich, the money earned from the store is enough for living expenses."
Stark rolled his eyes and advised: "I personally think it is very necessary for you to save some money for your true loves."
Aaron raised his eyebrows, "So?"
"Uncle Tony can invest..."
"Wait, don't take advantage of me." Aaron warned unhappily.
"Stark can help you buy a restaurant. The location is definitely 10,000 times better than Hell's Kitchen." Stark looked at Aaron seriously, "It's right next to Stark Tower."
Potts held his head and shook his head, speechlessly saying, "Tony is serious. Just because he likes to eat hamburgers, the hamburger stand under Stark Tower has almost become a fixed stall. The boss is worth a fortune."
"Hahaha, it's so willful to have money!
But forget it, my store is doing well, I can't change the location just because someone likes it."
Stark's mouth twitched, "This reason... impeccable, but you really lost an opportunity to make a fortune."
"For me, there are many such opportunities.
But I can't make a fortune because I can hardly save any money." Aaron said half-jokingly, 10,000 US dollars for a delicious snack, it would be strange if he could save money with his demand for dreamy ingredients.
Stark shrugged and drank the remaining mango juice in the cup.
"We've already experienced the massage and the food, now it's time for the fortune-telling."
"Friendly reminder, the cost of fortune-telling the future is very expensive."
"Oh my God!" Stark shook his head impatiently, "Why do you have to negotiate money with the richest man in the world?"
Snap!
Aaron snapped his fingers and said lightly: "Principle."
"Okay! How much?"
"It depends on the result of the fortune-telling. It starts at 100,000 US dollars and there is no upper limit."
"This..." Potts raised her eyebrows slightly. Having experienced acupuncture and cactus, and tasting delicious food she had never eaten before, she did not doubt Aaron's ability, but divination...
This kind of illusory thing has no results at all. She can accept a hundred thousand dollars at a time. After all, Tony has played with ridiculous consumption before, but it is a bit exaggerated to have no upper limit.
"I know what you are doubting, Miss Potts." Aaron smiled mysteriously, "Before divination, I can give you two a prophecy for free.
You can use this prophecy as a reference to decide whether to spend money on divination."
Stark and Potts looked at each other, "Tell me."
"The gears of fate began to turn. Tony Stark built a new Ark reactor for himself, but the old reactor will save his life in the near future."
"What?" Potts stood up in astonishment, "You, this... is really divined?"
Tony did build a new Ark reactor for himself, the one on his chest, because he didn't want others to know, and she installed it herself.
As for the old reactor, she also cleaned it up and put it in a glass box for safekeeping, and did not treat it as garbage.
"I don't need to lie to you. Besides, this is a prophecy that the fortune teller accidentally saw through the third eye." Aaron poured himself a glass of mango juice, took a sip and continued: "The probability of the prophecy coming true is as high as 99.99%."
"Does that mean I will be in danger soon?" Stark frowned.
"This is a prophecy from half a month ago. Of course, it's up to you whether you believe it or not.
The reason why I told you for free is that you really took the trouble to identify me. Miss Potts even prepared a gun license for me. I don't like to owe favors to others."
"What kind of danger did I encounter?"
"I don't know." Aaron said frankly, "I can make a prophecy but it doesn't mean I can see the future directly.
This will definitely happen. Tony, all you can do is keep an eye on the old reactor. It's best to carry it with you in case of emergency."
Stark fell silent, but Potts immediately said: "Divination, we need divination."
"A wise decision, but it starts at 100,000 US dollars, and I'm not sure what I will get. The future of a stage, and it is not certain whether this thing will really happen in the future.
My divination is just to find the most likely one among the infinite possible futures. "
"If it doesn't work once, try twice, and if it doesn't work twice, try three times. Tony must figure it out..."
"Sorry." Aaron interrupted, "I only do divination for a person once a year."
"Wait, Aaron, I don't understand.
Isn't the job of a fortune teller to tell fortunes? We are not not paying."
"It has nothing to do with money." Aaron said seriously, "If I can, I would also like to make more money, but just like playing with time will be played by time.
Divination plays with fate, which is more terrible than time. I have to be responsible for myself."
