A Divine Farmer

Chapter 373

C373 – The Mission Was to Spend Money!

After selling the Flying Phoenix Great Restaurant, Yang De donated almost all of his money, leaving only one million yuan to his son, Yang Maocheng.

In his words, he couldn’t bear to see his daughter-in-law and granddaughter suffer with him. One million yuan was not much, but to many people, it was not a small amount. It was still much better than what he had in the past.

This time, Yang Maocheng did not complain. He did not even take the one million yuan and turned around to leave Yanjing. He swore that he would not come back to see the old man if he could not make a name for himself.

“Old man, your hard work will definitely be repaid.” Zhang Xiaolong looked at Yang Maocheng’s back as he left, not knowing where he came from.

“Alas,” Yang De shook his head with a bitter smile, “I don’t know if this is right or not. In the past, I was ashamed of flying phoenix. Otherwise, she would not have left at such a young age. But now, I have failed to teach our son well, and he has become the kind of person we hate the most. If he cannot change, I will have no face to see his mother in hell.”

Zhang Xiaolong was stunned for a moment, “So this restaurant…”

“That’s right, that’s her name.” Yang De did not hide anything. There was a hint of pain in his eyes. “To be honest, when I made this decision, I was reluctant, but if Maocheng were to continue like this, I would be even more reluctant. Forget it, let’s not talk about it …”

“Don’t worry, Old Master. I believe that you have told him everything. He won’t let you down. One day, he will come back and take over the Divine Dragon. Isn’t that what you really hope for?” Zhang Xiaolong comforted him.

Yang De nodded and took a deep breath.

The restaurant’s name “Flying Phoenix” was to remind him of the past. However, the dead were already gone. He now wished for his son to become a Divine Dragon.

……

Flying Phoenix’s reopening was a celebration for both restaurants. Furthermore, they had also announced a limited edition Immortal Peach Banquet every day.

This news did not attract much attention. Firstly, there was no large-scale advertisement like before. Secondly, what the hell was that Immortal Peach Banquet? Immortal Peach?!

Yanjing was a big city. If one could not buy the fruits they wanted, they would have to go to your restaurant to buy them. If your restaurant did not make good food and changed its business to selling fruits, then you must be up to something.

Immortal Peach Banquet did not attract much attention, but the two restaurants combined into one. From then on, the dining area was twice as spacious. Basically, everyone went to the same restaurant. This was a happy thing.

“There is no one to order the Immortal Peach?” Hou Guang said in a furious tone.

“It’s even better if no one orders!” Tong Liang bit down on the peach and said, “I can’t wait to buy all the Immortal Peaches. It’s a pity that the boss doesn’t allow me to!”

“Damn, you actually have more! Give me one!” Hou Guang rushed forward to snatch the peach.

Tong Liang was quick to react. “I had expected this. This is also my last dish. You can eat it in a few days. Damn it, I can’t wait to cut this thing into four halves and eat it. Where is your share?”

“Boss Zhang is too stingy. He only gave us three peaches in a week. He didn’t even buy it for us. That’s too much!” Hou Guang complained angrily.

“Be careful. Boss Zhang doesn’t mind. If Manager Luh hears this, hehe, your next week’s quota will be deducted!” Tong Liang laughed.

Hou Guang immediately covered his mouth and looked around carefully. Then, he asked mysteriously, “Do you think Manager Luh is Boss Zhang’s… Cough, cough… Otherwise, why would Boss Zhang make such a big deal out of Yang Maocheng for her?”

“I don’t think so.” Tong Liang continued to eat his peach. “Boss Zhang treats Manager Luh like a girl. On the other hand, I think Manager Luh is a little interesting.”

Just as the two of them were chatting, someone brought a plate of Immortal Peach over.

“What’s going on? Is it for us?” The two chefs squeezed over with no elegance.

“It’s for our guest. Our first Immortal Peach Banquet!” The waiter whispered again. “Chu Wenwen is here again. She ordered it!”

Tong Liang and Hou Guang looked at each other and nodded deeply. “Manager Luh’s opponent is too strong!”

Inside the private room, Chu Wenwen and the others were gobbling down the peaches. No one was in the mood to talk anymore.

“Is there any more?” Ling Zhu asked in embarrassment.

As one of the two girls in the group, she ate faster than Chu Wenwen. Other men would have to catch up to her at a much slower pace. Even she herself felt ashamed of herself.

Forget it, she was a tough woman. The taste of the peaches was too good, she couldn’t care less.

“The Immortal Peach Banquet has a rule that the number of peaches per person is fixed according to the number of guests on the table. There is no limit to the number of peaches.” The waiter explained.

“Mr. Zhang…” Ling Zhu’s face turned bitter. “I ate too fast just now and didn’t manage to taste anything. Can I have another one? No, another plate… two plates!”

Zhang Xiaolong was amused by the girl’s joke. He immediately waved his hand and ordered, “Go and get some more peaches.”

“I didn’t expect this.” Wan Tao finished the peach in his hand and sighed deeply, “Previously in Clear River Village, you said that the fruit from the tree king was already delicious enough. But now, these fruits are even more delicious than the ones from the tree king. Which one is the real tree king?”

“Haha, everything has its own rules. At that time, it was only the blooming season, but we ate the fruit. This is already against the rules. Of course, it is not as delicious as the fruits that are naturally matured. But thinking about how they can bear fruit in the wrong time, this is the true value of the tree king.” Zhang Xiaolong explained.

In fact, these were all lies. The tree king was just a cover-up for Zhang Xiaolong. Those fruits were clearly produced by him, and the fruit ripening in the opposite direction was not as delicious as the natural maturation. This was true.

“You are right. When we were planning to set up a movie company in Clear River Village, I felt that it was like the fruit ripening in the opposite direction. But now, things are different. When the time is right, Wenwen’s concert will be a success. It’s time for us to establish a movie company and prepare for the fruit ripening!” Wan Tao changed the topic and shifted to business.

“Oh? It seems that Director Wan has already gained confidence. So, you want to talk to me about it?” Zhang Xiaolong understood what he meant. “How much money do you need? I can give Yaru a call. You can contact her directly in the future. She has more money than me.”

“Hehe, of course, the more the better. However, it might not be profitable in the short term. You have to be prepared for this. I’m not an expert in making money. I can’t expect to make money like your other businesses. I can’t do that.” Wan Tao gave him a preemptive shot.

Movies could make money, but it was not like doing other businesses. For example, in the short term, it was hard to see if the restaurant could make money. It would take a long time for a movie company to build up its foundation, including all kinds of preparations. These were things that could not be rushed. Furthermore, the amount of money invested in this stage might be even more than other industries.

“There’s no need for you to earn money. I know what kind of person Director Wan is. However, there is another task for you.” Zhang Xiaolong smiled, “I have some money in my hands. I need you to help me spend it!”
