The old man had been around the block for a long time. After Shi Tian finished speaking, the old man understood what he meant.
A few Fang Zi were given away, and that was that. He had tasted the other dumplings from their shop, and they were truly inedible! Giving the Fang Zi to him was a way of saving his business; it was commendable that he still had such a kind heart!
After the old man said this, Shi Tian finally felt relieved. As long as the old man didn’t hold a grudge about the Fang Zi, everything would be fine. After all, it was wrong of him to send out the Fang Zi without informing the old man first.
“Master, I did send over the filling for the Fang Zi, but I didn’t tell him about the ingredients and preparation methods! I just wanted to give him a few Fang Zi to help him keep his shop running for another two or three years. If their business is solid and they are good people, then later on, under your name, we can complete the Fang Zi for them and help their skills improve. Who knows, in a few years, they might even gain some fame!”
“If their business isn’t solid, having the Fang Zi in their hands wouldn’t be a good thing either. It wouldn’t be hard to find someone else to open another Dumpling House nearby and put them out of business!”
“If Shi Tian gives Luo Yongshan a few more Fang Zi, as long as Luo Yongshan runs this Dumpling House with integrity and can hold on for a year, he will gain some fame. Once he has fame, wealth will follow; it all depends on whether he can hold onto that wealth!”
Shi Tian’s words sounded nice, but in reality, he just wanted an easy way to enjoy dumplings. As for completing the Fang Zi for Luo Yongshan, that was impossible at the moment.
Completing the Fang Zi would require money; providing a full set of seasonings would significantly increase the cost of making dumplings. Without some fame to support it, giving Luo Yongshan a complete set of Fang Zi now could lead to the immediate closure of this Dumpling House!
Looking up at Shi Tian, the old man sighed and said, “Your method isn’t bad. If I had thought of this method decades ago, I wouldn’t have been so frustrated!”
“Enough about that; how’s your cooking? Come with me to show your skills to your senior brother so I can taste your cooking!”
Once you take on a disciple, you have to teach them well! The old man felt quite vexed; why did he have to be so sharp-tongued on that plane? If he hadn’t taken this kid in as a disciple, he wouldn’t have so many troubles! But since the kid kept calling him ‘Master,’ how could he not teach him properly?
“Alright! Just yesterday I caught a few Carp; let’s make Sweet and Sour Carp!” He stood up and grabbed one of the Carp from the water tank. After thinking for a moment, he asked Sun Lang, who was standing dumbfounded behind the counter, to fetch him a set of kitchen knives.
Staring at the kitchen knife in Shi Tian’s hand, the old man’s expression darkened. Anyone who knew would think he was going to cook; those who didn’t would assume he was going off to fight someone!
“I have all the kitchenware and ingredients over at my place; Senior Brother, you should put those down!” Glancing at the kitchen knife in Shi Tian’s hand, Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell quickly stood up to advise him.
“Come on now! Bringing fish is one thing; bringing a whole set of kitchen knives along will scare away his customers!”
Scratching his head, Shi Tian thought for a moment and then returned the fish to the water tank. “Then I’ll just take Senior Brother’s fish; but this knife feels just right in my hand, so I’ll keep it.”
“Master, this knife is really good quality! I’ll prepare two sets for you as well; you can take them back and try them out!” Saying this, Shi Tian had Sun Lang fetch two more sets of kitchen knives and handed them over.
Looking at this unique gift in his hands, Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell felt like crying. Was Shi Tian some kind of wealth-bringing deity? First fishing gear when they went fishing, now kitchen knives while cooking!
It was quite simple to get across to the other side; Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell's small boat was docked right by the Fishing Platform across the way. Just head down the steps next to the Fishing Platform and hop on board; with one hand on the throttle, they could get there easily!
Watching Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell skillfully untie the boat and board it, Shi Tian curiously asked: “Senior Brother, you also enjoy fishing? Have you ever gone sea fishing?”
Since Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell drove around every day on his boat, he likely had a boating license. Plus, since he enjoyed fishing so much, it was quite probable that he had gone sea fishing before!
Starting up the small boat and glancing back at Shi Tian, Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell replied: “This little boat can’t go out into the sea; if you want to go sea fishing, you need a bigger boat! Do you want to go sea fishing? One day I’ll take you out on my big boat for a few days so you can fish to your heart’s content!”
As soon as the words "Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell" were spoken, Shi Tian smiled slightly. It was settled; he would be the one. If he could get Scallion and Ginger to join, he just needed to find two more people, and they could set sail! Sun Lang was a must; after all, with Sun Lang around, who had a good guy card, his sense of security would instantly rise a notch!
As for the others, they would just be there to tag along. He could casually find two people who had been out to sea before, preferably those who had a Fishing Spot.
A friend had left him a boat, and he wanted to go out to sea for some fun. However, he had only been out once with them before and didn’t dare to go alone. When he had some time, they should plan a trip together to go Fishing for Big Fish!
It would be great if Scallion and Ginger could accompany him out at sea; asking for their boat would be a bit much. After all, a trip out to sea would cost at least several thousand dollars, and if they stayed out for a few days, the cost could easily exceed ten thousand!
"Your friend left you a boat? How big is it? If you want to go far out to sea, a small boat won't do!"
Going out to sea can be quite dangerous; it concerns one's life. Scallion and Ginger didn't immediately agree but decided it was better to check things out first and help Shi Tian assess the situation!
"It's a modified medium-sized yacht, forty feet long. For going far out to sea, thirty feet is the minimum; forty feet is quite common. Any bigger, like the Air Force, is not very common! Either you have luxury cruise ships or smaller private yachts."
"Forty feet? That’s good! Let’s plan a trip together sometime to explore Nan You!" Hearing that Shi Tian's boat was a forty-foot yacht piqued Scallion and Ginger's curiosity.
There were plenty of fishing boats in Sanya, but most were converted fishing vessels or some professional fishing boats that had come out in recent years. Modifying a forty-foot yacht into a fishing boat meant that Shi Tian's friend must have some connections!
Once the small boat reached shore, Scallion and Ginger quickly put away all the knives into a black convenient bag before leading Shi Tian and the others into his hotel.
Looking at the tall hotel in front of him, Shi Tian couldn't help but feel his eyelids twitching uncontrollably.
"Old man, is this the restaurant you mentioned? This looks more like a resort!" Fortunately, he had seen some things in life; he could handle this little scene!
