After finishing their meal, the discussion at the Fishing Tackle Shop came to a close. Observing the serious demeanor of the Unreliable Duo, Shi Tian felt quite satisfied; at least they had made some progress. However, whether it was them or Sun Lang who had the final say remained uncertain. For now, as long as the process was properly implemented, there shouldn't be any major issues with the shops in Jiangnan, and that was enough.
Calling over a waiter to settle the bill, Shi Tian noticed the table was filled with leftover food. The waiter, instead of rushing to present the bill, smiled and asked, "Sir, was the food not to your liking? If you have any feedback about the dishes, we would appreciate your valuable opinions so we can improve!"
What excellent service! They say big restaurants take advantage of customers, yet here was a large establishment with such a commendable attitude—truly impressive! But it made sense; given how competitive the dining industry had become, if a restaurant didn't offer something noteworthy, it would soon be out of business.
Not to mention, with such service, even if there were minor flaws in the dishes, customers wouldn't complain too much; they might just return a dish or ask for a discount. The food was quite good; it was just that they had ordered too much.
However, about that Red Braised Pork—it wasn’t tender enough. The fatty parts were fine, but it became greasy after a while! With that level of service, Shi Tian casually remarked.
Every place has its own preferences; perhaps some people enjoy overly rich flavors? But truly, the essence of Red Braised Pork lies in its balance of fat and lean meat—this likely stemmed from either the side dishes or the chef's oversight.
Gesturing for Xiao Feng to settle the bill, they hurriedly got into their car. Time was running short; he had another engagement to attend and might even have to cook upon returning home. They couldn't afford to waste too much time here.
"Xiao Tian, how about opening a restaurant here? Everything is great except for the lack of opportunities to improve our meals at the food street." Da Gui Wang chuckled as they got into the car.
Opening a restaurant here? Wasn't Su Xueyi already planning that? But from what Sun Lang indicated, they wanted to set it up in Hangzhou, which was quite far from here!
While they hadn't opened a restaurant yet, those uniformly dressed Squid vendors at the night market had five percent of my stake. You should try them sometime; they’re not bad at all.
Thinking of Squid Brother made Shi Tian's head ache. Why work so hard when there’s no solid foundation? What if all this effort ends up with them being taken advantage of like chives being harvested?
As long as they could make big money—even if it was just a stick of Squid—there would be plenty of people watching closely.
It was only a matter of time before Squid Brother got taken advantage of. When that happens, will I step in or not? If I do step in, I’ll owe someone a favor. Since I only hold five percent stake, that favor isn’t worth much.
But if I don’t step in and word gets out, I’ll lose face. It seems I can only wait until Squid Brother has been taken advantage of before stepping in myself—what a messy situation!
I’ve had Squid before; it’s nowhere near as good as what you grill on your boat. But compared to those at the night market, it's definitely better.
Da Gui Wang had gone out to sea with Shi Tian several times and had tasted his cooking. The Squid grilled on board came straight from Hai Li and hadn’t been frozen at all. Moreover, the ingredients and seasonings used on the boat were carefully selected—if everything were grilled according to those standards, how much would each stick of Squid sell for? That’s unrealistic!
You really know how to eat! When my boat comes back, let’s go catch Squid in Zhoushan; there are more Squid there and they taste better than those from Hainan! Complimented by Da Gui Wang like this made Shi Tian feel quite pleased.
"Xiao Tian, could you bring me along when you open the restaurant? My girlfriend is still in Sanya, and I need to bring her over and help her find a job!"
In order to get the restaurant up and running, Xiao Rui called him every day, and he was starting to hesitate to answer the phone.
"Sure! That's easy. I'll get you a place, and you can open a shop for her!"
