Casually mentioning it, Shi Tian thought it would be a good idea to secure the house; money wasn't an issue, especially with a wealthy master nearby! When you have money in hand, your son wishes for your early demise; but if you have an income, he hopes for your longevity! I don’t have a pension or insurance, and if I don’t find a way to earn, how will I get by in the future? With a slight smile, the old man began to share his philosophy.
This statement was somewhat exaggerated; the old man’s son was quite filial. As a teacher, his income was modest, and every year he could only afford to bring his family back for a little over a month, which was still a significant expense for him!
Alright, I can give you the Fang Zi. Plus an additional twenty thousand to buy your son a house; the remaining money should be enough for you to start your shop. What do you think? If that works for you, this house needs to be vacated within three days.
Shi Tian's offer didn’t meet the old man's expectations, but thinking about that Fang Zi made him feel conflicted. Old Zhang's Little Lobster Shop was thriving now, with customers coming in and out daily, raking in several thousand yuan each day.
Can your Fang Zi compare to Old Zhang's? If it can match up, then I’ll sell you the house! After much deliberation, the old man gritted his teeth.
From Shi Tian's words, it was clear that Old Zhang had bought his small property with his own money and had opened the shop on his own as well; Old Zhang hadn’t lied about that. However, compared to the houses in Guangdong, properties on Huang Island had significantly less value!
But there was nothing to be done; Old Zhang’s place had a larger yard and more storefronts! My house only has two doors facing the street and a yard that’s much smaller—there’s no comparison!
As for Fang Zi, I can’t say much; I can only assure you that its taste is not inferior to Old Zhang's lobsters! In business, three parts depend on the product and seven parts on marketing. The same item sold by different people can yield profits for some while others may incur losses!
I will teach you how to run Fang Zi step by step. When you open your shop, I can help bring some customers in; whether they stay or not depends on your own skills!
This business deal was nearly settled! Shi Tian wouldn’t make any guarantees; if there were issues with the ingredients or dishes served once, those customers wouldn’t return!
Alright then, I’ll sell you this house. Let’s sign the contract right now! The old man stood up with determination; he had been envious of Old Zhang for quite some time and didn’t want to miss this opportunity.
The old man’s decisiveness surprised Shi Tian. Was it really happening so quickly?
Old man, isn’t your son coming back in a couple of days? Shouldn’t we wait for him to discuss this? Rubbing his head, Shi Tian felt uncertain.
This house was built by me; what’s there to discuss with him? Let’s go—hurry up with the transfer! I still need to find a shop! After informing his wife, the old man dragged Shi Tian off to complete the transfer.
After several hours of work, the house was transferred into Shi Tian's name, yet at this point, he hadn’t even paid a deposit.
Old man, you really are quite trusting! I haven’t transferred a single cent yet you’ve already put the house in my name! While transferring funds to the old man, Shi Tian joked.
After transferring twenty thousand yuan, his wallet felt significantly lighter. Sigh! Starting from scratch is really tough! It would be simpler if I were doing Shi Chui and Shi Ye's kind of work!
What am I afraid of? Your shop is right there; it won’t run away! Glancing at his account again confirmed that the money had arrived!
I’ll clear out the house within three days. Is your Fang Zi ready? When can you teach me how to cook? As he received his bank card back, the old man began discussing business matters.
If you trust me about renting a shop space, don’t look on the street anymore. From your house heading south, count about ten shops down and rent any one of them; business will only get better from there! Using a pen from the bank, he wrote out a list of ingredients and casually handed it over to the old man.
Since you're opening a shop, you'll definitely need a high-temperature stove. The old man probably doesn’t have one at home; let him buy good ingredients and later tonight Cai Li can teach him how to use it!
After staring at Shi Tian for a while, the old man thought to himself: I definitely trust you! I’ve already sold the house to you; there’s no benefit in deceiving me!
This old man was quite straightforward, and he believed those words!
Since you trust me, let me tell you something else! Make some time to get your liver checked at the hospital, and find a reliable traditional Chinese medicine doctor to get a few prescriptions! After saying this, Yi Laotou smirked; this disciple was good—though he hadn’t read much, he understood how to adapt!
What’s wrong with my liver? Shouldn’t you check my pulse? Standing in front of Shi Tian's car, the old man was taken aback. He knew this kid was great at cooking, but now he was dabbling in traditional Chinese medicine?
I can’t check pulses. A little issue can be resolved with a few prescriptions, but before that, you need to quit smoking and drinking! Wiping away the beads of sweat on his forehead, the old man almost made himself sound like a quack instead of a doctor!
After closing the door of Shi Tian's car, he hailed a taxi and waved goodbye to Shi Tian. The old man headed towards the hospital; surely he wasn’t running away with money!
Watching the old man get into the car and leave, Shi Tian climbed into the vehicle with Yi Laotou and headed back home.
Master, that old man has fine black hair and a healthy complexion; he seems like an intelligent person. Looking at his face, he should have had some achievements when he was younger! How could he not have a pension? While rushing back, Shi Tian asked in confusion.
When the old man claimed he didn’t have a pension, Shi Tian was somewhat puzzled. Could it be that Yi Laotou gave him a counterfeit book? How could he not see that?
You said he’s smart; can you believe everything he says? From the looks of it, he had been wanting to sell his house to you for a long time. He mentioned Old Zhang several times during your conversation. Once you said you wanted to buy his house, I bet he was already calculating how to manage his shop!
However, this person has a decent appearance; there’s something about him that suggests intelligence and wealth in his later years! He could easily run that shop for twenty years!
