After taking a quick three-minute shower and changing into fresh clothes, Shi Tian drove to Li Ziyu's place, where she was already waiting at the door.
Once Li Ziyu got on the boat, Shi Tian took out some iced milk tea from the fridge. With a push of the accelerator, the Mini Air Force set sail, heading towards the area where dolphins were known to appear.
Not knowing if Li Ziyu was prone to seasickness, Shi Tian drove slowly, casually chatting with her as they drifted along the sea.
"Was your last trip to the platform?" Li Ziyu asked, taking a sip of her milk tea and looking at Shi Tian curiously.
Shi Tian knew that during their last outing, Li Ziyu had even competed with Yun Wan'er at the dock for fish. Her question was clearly an attempt to gather information about Pingtou Ge.
"Yes, it was," Shi Tian replied. "Li Ping had just returned from the platform, and he even took me to his Secret Fishing Spot! Li Ping is really impressive! He caught a big fish while just cooking!"
In front of Li Ziyu, Shi Tian dared not mention Pingtou Ge directly and decided to keep that information under wraps for now.
After finishing her sentence, Shi Tian noticed Li Ziyu's proud expression; these siblings shared a strong bond!
"Of course! My brother loves fishing! I still remember when we were kids, he would sneakily take me fishing. When we caught something, we would roast it by the river. If we didn’t catch any fish, he would steal sweet potatoes or peanuts from others to cook for me!"
As soon as Pingtou Ge was mentioned, Li Ziyu transformed from her usual aloof self into someone chatty and animated. This was a significant change; it felt like a breakthrough in their relationship!
As they reached the dolphin-spotting area, there were no dolphins in sight. However, there was no rush; they anchored the boat and decided to enjoy some time there, confident that the dolphins would soon appear.
They settled on the deck of the boat with drinks in hand, enjoying the sea breeze and chatting without worrying too much about whether or not they would see any dolphins.
"I heard from Yun Jie that your master is quite remarkable—a Hidden Master with many disciples across the country who have opened their own shops?" After discussing Pingtou Ge, Li Ziyu shifted the topic towards Shi Tian.
"Yi Laotou? He has lived life with such clarity! I heard from my senior brother that they fight every day in our group just to get him to come to their shops!" Shi Tian stretched her body after finishing her thought. "I once considered becoming someone like my master too, but I still lack a bit in terms of experience."
Li Ziyu had little experience herself; instead of discussing romantic matters, she delved into life aspirations.
Shi Tian understood this; they hadn't reached that stage of romance yet. Over the past few days spent with Yun Wan'er, she must have shared quite a bit about her own feelings.
"So what level have you reached? Are you like Ye Ge and Air Force Brother, traveling around famous mountains and rivers?" Li Ziyu expressed admiration for Yi Laotou but acknowledged that not everyone could be like him. She agreed with Shi Tian's sentiment about lacking experience.
Yi Laotou's carefree demeanor stemmed from his exceptional culinary skills and understanding of human nature. While cooking could be learned, understanding people required experience!
"We're ambitious youth; we can't be compared to those slackers!"
With a hint of pride in her voice, Shi Tian squinted her eyes thoughtfully. "I plan to turn Anhe Town into a Gourmet Town—finding ten or twenty reliable people to promote Yi Laotou's culinary skills and help them open ten or twenty specialty shops should really make a name for us."
"If this model works in Anhe Town, then we can expand it elsewhere—settling wherever we like and creating gourmet towns one after another."
"Doesn't Yi Laotou have many disciples running multiple shops? Then I’ll create several Gourmet Towns myself—won't that make Yi Laotou envious?"
Listening to Shi Tian's grand ambitions, Li Ziyu was somewhat taken aback. Was this what it meant to lack vision? You were following Yi Laotou's path, leaving him with no way out!
Everyone loves the life Yi Laotou offers, and by mentioning him, Li Ziyu wanted to see if Shi Tian, this disciple, had the same aspirations as Yi Laotou.
Ah! Let's build Anhe Town together! We will definitely succeed!
Once Anhe Town is established, we can head to Xiangxi. There's a place called Tea Dong Ancient Town, which is particularly beautiful, and the Qing Shui River flows right through it. Don’t you love fishing? We could buy a riverside shop there, and you can fish in the river!
Hearing Shi Tian paint such a beautiful vision, Li Ziyu felt her heart stir. Money was not an issue for her at all, and the idea of personally building Anhe Town into a Gourmet Town held endless possibilities. The profits would be no less than those from Yi Laotou.
No problem! You can be the boss lady while I handle the fishing, and you sell the fish. Together, we’ll prosper and live well! Shi Tian said with a slight smile.
Transforming Anhe Town into a Gourmet Town was not too difficult for Shi Tian. There were already three food establishments in place; if they opened another seven or eight and employed some clever marketing strategies, igniting interest in Anhe Town would only take a few months.
However, while it was easy to spark interest in Anhe Town, sustaining its development would be much more challenging. Once it became popular and capital flowed in, Anhe Town could easily collapse since it lacked any substantial foundation.
