In the four volumes of "Yang Zhai San Yao," he had memorized everything in just three hours. While reading, he engaged in discussions with the old man, thinking that once he bought a compass, he could even offer feng shui consultations. His memory had suddenly improved, and he couldn't tell if it was due to his innate talent for feng shui or if there was something wrong with the old man's teachings. Back in school, he certainly didn't possess such abilities; had he known this earlier, he wouldn't have had to work so hard in high school!
Shandong Cuisine is one of the eight major culinary traditions, characterized by its salty and fresh flavors, requiring exceptional control over cooking times. It excels in soup preparation and is skilled in cooking seafood. While many can prepare Shandong Cuisine, few can master it; just mastering the timing alone takes more than three years.
As Shi Tian flipped through a cookbook quickly, his goal wasn't to learn how to cook but to see how much he could remember after one read. However, after finishing the cookbook, Shi Tian licked his lips, feeling a bit restless.
Making money through feng shui isn't easy; it's not something that yields immediate results. A house can be arranged with good feng shui, and minor issues may show quick effects, but when it comes to significant matters like wealth and romance, noticeable results may take a month or two.
For a feng shui master to earn big money, there’s a prerequisite: they need to be well-known and have clients willing to pay top dollar for their services. Otherwise, they might only set up a stall in the park and risk being labeled a fraud.
Not many understand metaphysics; most think it should yield immediate results. If you arrange their feng shui and they see no effects within three days, they might turn to someone else and could even undo your arrangements in the blink of an eye. Even if the feng shui improves later on, it won't be credited to you but rather to whoever comes after you, leaving you branded as a fraud!
Culinary skills are different. Preparing a dish takes only a few minutes to an hour at most. Traditional dishes may require extensive preparation time—some even need a week of advance work. However, the interaction between chefs and diners lasts only a few minutes during serving and tasting. The quality of a dish can be judged within ten minutes of being served.
If he could thoroughly study every dish in this cookbook, even without money to open a restaurant, setting up a table for a street stall or pushing a tricycle at night markets specializing in one dish would surely suffice for living expenses.
As he closed the cookbook and was about to test how much he remembered, Shi Ye's call came through.
"Where are you? I haven't seen you!"
Shi Ye had arrived; there was no time to reminisce about the recipes now.
"I'm in the departure hall! Are you here? Wait a moment; I'll be right down!" After hanging up, Shi Tian hurried downstairs.
"What are you doing in the hall? Hurry up! You can't park here for too long!" Shi Ye said helplessly.
He didn't dislike Shi Tian; on the contrary, he was somewhat fond of him. However, when it came to taking Shi Tian along, he was definitely reluctant! In their home country, Shi Tian could mess around without worrying about danger, but abroad, he'd have to keep him close at all times!
What could one do in the departure hall? Coming to Sanya without anyone overseeing meals meant they were planning to head home quickly! After muttering something under his breath about Shi Ye, Shi Tian spotted him standing at the exit.
After hanging up the phone and being kicked into the car by Shi Ye, Shi Tian instantly lost his temper.
On the phone, he could exchange banter with Shi Ye, but upon seeing him face-to-face, Shi Tian could only submit quietly. Having been bullied by Shi Ye since childhood instilled a deep-seated fear within him; even though he was no longer shorter than Shi Ye now, facing his authority left him with no choice but to endure silently!
"What brings you all the way to Sanya? Didn't you just get home a few days ago?" Shi Ye asked unexpectedly upon seeing Shi Tian's sudden arrival.
Just a few hours after finishing a phone call, this guy suddenly parachuted into Sanya. There must be something going on!
Ignoring Shi Ye, Shi Tian quickly pulled out his phone to video call Yun Wan'er. He had come to Sanya without saying a word, and Yun Wan'er was probably still at home waiting for him to return for a late-night snack!
"Yuan Jie, this afternoon Ye Ge called me out for fish, so here I am in Sanya!" As he spoke, he turned the camera to show Shi Ye in the chat window.
No matter what, he had to pin this on Shi Ye first. As for whether Yun Wan'er would scold him later, that was no longer his concern.
Seeing Shi Ye meant he had a free meal ticket. With such a generous offer, it would be a shame not to take advantage of it!
Shi Tian's words made Shi Ye roll his eyes. What do you mean I called you out for fish? That was just a polite gesture! I’ve never seen you so straightforward before; what’s going on today?
Weren't you hanging out with your classmates? Why did you come to Sanya? With Shi Tian and Shi Ye together, Yun Wan'er wouldn't lose her temper in front of Shi Ye. She had enough composure to manage a company.
It was just Ye Ge being enthusiastic! He caught a Shi Ban and insisted on treating me to dinner; I had to give him some face! Ignoring Yun Wan'er’s questioning, Shi Tian changed the subject.
With the distance from the emperor being far away, it wasn’t like Yun Wan'er could come to Sanya and deal with him right now, could she?
Alright then! Just listen to your uncle and come back early after having your fun! Yun Wan'er wasn’t one to throw tantrums over the phone. Now that Shi Tian was already in Sanya, getting angry wouldn’t help; if he scared the kid off, he definitely wouldn’t come back!
After hanging up with Yun Wan'er, Shi Tian turned his attention back to Shi Ye. "Ye Ge, I spent over two thousand bucks flying here just for your fish; you have to reimburse me!"
Hearing this, Shi Ye raised his hand and slapped him.
So not only do I have to pay for the fish, but I also have to cover your travel expenses? How come I never noticed how calculating you are! Travel expenses, huh? I'll cover those; after we finish eating the fish, I'll book you a ticket and send you straight back!
He could tell that Shi Tian had come without informing Shi Chui or Yun Wan'er. If he sent Shi Tian back now, life would definitely not be easy for him. He might not end up in a double whammy situation, but at the very least, he’d be grounded. If things went poorly, he might even end up being stuffed into the company by Yun Wan'er when he returned!
