It wasn't without its gains! Once everyone settled down, Old Wen spoke up, "If he can come up with Black Bream Bait and Sea Bass Bait, as well as Carp Bait and Grass Carp Bait, then surely he can create other types of Wo Liao too?"
Old Wen's words instantly lifted the oppressive atmosphere in the room.
Exactly! If Shi Tian can produce those types of Wo Liao, why can't he come up with others?
This is promising! We should have a heart-to-heart with Xiao Tian later. Young people need to be ambitious! They can't just be satisfied with their current achievements; they need to strive for more! Old Kong said, tapping his fingers together with narrowed eyes.
After a few sneezes, Shi Tian rubbed his nose. It wasn't even cold in the kitchen! Why was he sneezing?
He quickly turned pale; it had been a few days since they last met, and Yun Wan'er missed him so much that she called him.
"Xiao Jian's wedding is over, right? When are you coming back?" Old Zhang asked as soon as the call connected. "The yard negotiations are done; you should come back to settle your household registration in the next few days!"
"The yard negotiations are done? That's efficient! Looks like I won't need to bother Brother Niu's family anymore!"
"The yard negotiations are done? Then I need to rush back! I'm currently in Guangzhou! My master and a few old gentlemen are here; they probably still need to stay for another day. We'll set off the day after tomorrow, so I should be back by Tuesday night or Wednesday!"
Now that the yard was secured, he needed to hurry back to avoid any complications.
However, since a few old men came all the way from Xiangjiang for him, if he didn't spend at least one day with them, they would surely complain. No matter how urgent this matter was, he couldn't rush it; he needed to deal with the old men first. Otherwise, they might follow him back to Sanya!
"Your master is in Guangzhou? Perfect timing! Lao Shi and I also need to go to Guangzhou. Ask if your master has time; we could have dinner together the day after tomorrow."
Shi Tian had heard about Shi Ye from his master; he was quite an impressive figure. As Shi Tian's parents had taught him well, he needed to visit and express his gratitude alongside Shi Chui!
"Alright, I'll ask about it later. I'll arrange everything for dinner the day after tomorrow; you all just need to come!"
Yun Wan'er and Shi Chui had previously mentioned inviting Yi Laotou for dinner, but at that time Yi Laotou was hard to track down, so Shi Tian hadn't paid much attention. Now that they were in Guangzhou, it would be convenient for Yun Wan'er and the others to fly over. Plus, coming here to invite Yi Laotou for dinner would show their sincerity—it sounded like a good plan!
After hanging up on Yun Wan'er, Shi Tian started thinking about upgrading his Fishing Box. The venue was settled; now it was time to focus on the money!
With twenty thousand in material costs, he wouldn't be able to earn that quickly. It wouldn't be appropriate to keep working on Shi Chui and Yun Wan'er either; he'd have to find a wealthy benefactor like Big Head!
Should he contact Shi Ye? A quick phone call could get him a face-to-face meeting with Shi Ye. He could manage to get twenty thousand that way, but before the money arrived, Yun Wan'er and Shi Chui would definitely find out—this plan seemed unreliable!
It's rare for someone to pull out twenty thousand at once. Even Brother Niu from the wealthy families wouldn't consider that a small amount. He needed to find someone who had money but no place to spend it!
Looking over at Shisan Shixiong, he decided it was best to focus on cooking first! With an empty stomach and a sugar-deprived brain, he couldn't think straight!
As dishes of Shandong Cuisine were prepared, Shisan Shixiong looked overwhelmed. How could a Cantonese Cuisine chef learn anything from a Shandong Cuisine junior? Was Yi Laotou trying to set him up?
Once several dishes were served on the table, Shi Tian turned to Shisan Shixiong and said, "Senior Brother, why don't you show us your skills? Let Master give you some pointers!"
He couldn't possibly make all these dishes by himself! Eating only Shandong Cuisine wouldn’t do either! A few Cantonese dishes would complement them nicely and provide a rare opportunity for Yi Laotou's guidance!
Shi Tian made way for Shisan Shixiong, who immediately broke into a smile. "Alright, Xiao Tian, you take a break and watch your senior's skills!"
There was a noticeable difference between the Northern Cleaver and the Southern Cleaver, rooted in the types of dishes they were used for. For instance, the roasted meats from Guangdong were less common elsewhere. The Jiang-Zhe region's mulberry knife was particularly suited for Jiang-Zhe Cuisine.
Shisan Shixiong certainly gave Shi Tian enough face, wielding the knife he had gifted with impressive dexterity, leaving Shi Tian somewhat dazzled.
A mismatched array of Shandong Cuisine and Cantonese Cuisine was laid out on the table, with Shi Tian and Shisan Shixiong bringing the last two dishes to the feast. Before any of the elderly gentlemen could speak, Shi Tian plopped down in his chair, leaving Shisan Shixiong looking a bit stunned. Was it really that casual?
"Why are you just standing there? Hurry up and sit down!" Yi Laotou's voice broke the silence, prompting Shisan Shixiong to carefully take his seat. Being young had its perks! If only he had known to pay his respects earlier in the evening!
"Old gentlemen, take a look at this," Shi Tian said as he pulled out his phone. "A few days ago at Xi River, I caught this Grass Carp—just look at its skin! Isn't it beautiful?" After the meal began, he quickly found the picture of the Big Grass Carp and showed it to the elderly men.
While they were engrossed in looking at his phone, Shi Tian seized the opportunity to dig into his meal with gusto. Having lunch at four o'clock left him quite hungry!
It wasn't just about showing off his fish catch; this particular Grass Carp could surely impress the old gentlemen for a while. They had been out fishing for so long; if they had caught something that big, they would have called him to brag about it—there was no way they wouldn't have made some noise!
