When Tong Yuquan drove back to Six Flavors Restaurant, the door was closed, and Fang Tang had already left. However, while he was waiting for Fang Tang, Tong Yuquan saw that his friend Fu Hongshen also come back looking for Fang Tang.
"Old Fu, are you also coming here to dine?" asked Tong Yuquan.
"Bro Yuquan, it makes no sense to ask while you already know the answer. It's not important about what to eat, but the person, or more specifically, his recipe." Fu Hongshen answered directly with an expression showing that you know what I mean.
Tong Yuquan frowned, "Do you really believe that there is a medicine that can cure all diseases, even cancer and diabetes? Does that medicine really exist?"
"Do you mean that your diabetes has been cured?" Fu Hongshen was also surprised after knowing this, then he touched his chest and said, "I went to the hospital for a medical check just now, and I have completely recovered from my heart attack as well. That's really incredible!"
"Suiting the medicine to the case is a basic common sense in both traditional Chinese medicine and modern medicine. But the noodles we ate are from the same pot, it is absolutely impossible to use one prescription to cure all the symptoms." Tong Yuquan clenched his teeth and insisted his basic judgment.
"Then why would this happen? Do you think he used some kind of spells, like burning a magic symbol in our noodles?" Unlike Tong Yuquan, Fu Hongshen is not from pharmaceutical profession. On the contrary, he has been working in the media industry for many years, so he has heard all kinds of legendary tales and anecdotes.
"Old Fu, don't forget that you are highly educated. How could you also believe in this superstition like drinking symbol water and eating so - called Buddha white clay!" Those sayings are what Tong Yuquan disdained.
"Then you tell me what this is about?" Fu Hongshen said.
"How could I suppose to know, but there must be some secrets in it. We will know the answer after asking him."
"Do you think that he would tell you the truth as long as you ask?" Fu Hongshen shook his head.
"Reporter Fu, don't forget that you could try every means to chase either government officials, corporate bosses, celebrities or even serial killers before just for scooping the inside story and reporting the truth. What is happening now? Are you really old and no longer bold?"
Hearing what Tong Yuquan said, Fu Hongshen replied without turning a hair: "I am curious about the truth, that's true. But I'm not going to play hard. Instead, now that bro Yuquan is so anxious about the truth, you must be determined to get it. A small Viagra can make Pfizer the world's most profitable pharmaceutical company, if there is a panacea selling in the market, it is not impossible for bro Yuquan to become the wealthiest man in the world, am I right?"
Tong Yuquan's words didn't work at all, instead, he was blushed by Fu Hongshen's replies. "If there is really a panacea in the world, that will be the gospel for all mankind. Meanwhile, it should also belong to the world, instead of being grabbed in the hands of a few people." Tong Yuquan tried to talk decently.
"Ok, fine. Save these words for that young boss, it might work for him.".
Their different stances made them have nothing in common. So, both of them returned to their car and waited for Fang Tang to come back.
After Fang Tang completed Meng Jingyi's interview, they exchanged contact information and both agreed that, in a few days, Meng Jingyi would bring the television crew to his restaurant and shoot the video material for the TV show.
After Meng Jingyi left, Fang Tang took out the one million check, and suddenly being hit by an anxious feeling. But he couldn't think of which part went wrong. After all, he was just a 21years old man who hadn't even graduated from college.
Although he had met all kinds of people in his restaurant, the dark and evil part in people's hearts is not what Fang Tang can understand now.
Unable to figure out what's wrong, Fang Tang decided to ask for help from Jiang Jinjiu, the one he trusted most.
Fang Tang rode his e-bike to Taibai bar, that's why his restaurant was closed when Tong Yuquan and Fu Hongshen came.
Different from the hubbub and bustling scene at night, Taibai bar is kind of quieter in the daytime. As an important leisure place between the two nearby development zones, there are still quite a few people in the afternoon.
Instead of walking into the bar directly, Fang Tang went around to the back of the bar. After buying the warehouse and the nearby land, Jiang Jinjiu expanded and rebuilt it. Two-thirds of the area was used as a bar, and the rest was expanded to the side of lotus lake.
This whole building was in a "L" shape, and later a promenade was later built on the lake. The top of the warehouse was changed into a garden-like open platform so that people can enjoy the lake and moonlight there.
The expanded part of this warehouse is the brewery and training ground of Jiang Jinjiu. Taking out the key, Fang Tang opened the door and walked in. He took off his shoes in the entrance and put them in the shoe cabinet. Bypassing the screen, you will see a large open area, which is a martial arts field of more than 600 square meters. There is a variety of exercise equipment, martial arts equipment, and even swords and lances. It includes almost all kinds.
Jiang Jinjiu was concentrating on practicing boxing, and his body was really flexible as he blew punches. Like a flickering flame, his movements would change between fast and slow from time to time, and he sometimes flips in the air, sometimes moves on the floor as fast as waves of the sea tide. His punches are forceful and powerful. Watching carefully, you can even see the waves and rustling sound it brings. With a loud bang, his bow stance rebounding fist brings a crisp blast sound in the air. Then he slowly gets up and closes forms, the breath he exhaled flew out like an arrow.
"Bro Jiang, your kung fu is getting better and better. Each of your movements is as standard as a kung fu master." Fang Tang skillfully passed a towel and a jar of wine.
Jiang Jinjiu wiped his sweat, and took a few gulps from the wine jar. As he was drinking, there was a big swollen part like a fist appeared on his throat, and then moved along the axis of his body. While he was swallowing the wine, that swollen part moved to the place between his chest and abdomen. Turning clockwise around his belly button, it then disappeared.
"I'm still far from being a master. Learning how to make sound while blowing out a punch from silent punches, that's only a beginning. Once I also know how to transfer this sound into silence, then I might be close to a master." Jiang Jinjiu said.
"What did you want to ask me yesterday? Do you come here today for the same question?" Jiang Jinjiu asked.
"Yes, in fact, I don't know how to say it. If I told others about it, no one would believe it."
Fang Tang sorted out his thoughts, and told Jiang Jinjiu from the time he met a cat that can speak human language till how he made 1 million from a pot of longevity noodles.
In fact, Fang Tang has always taken Jiang Jinjiu as his idol and elder brother since he was a child. He saw with his eyes about how Jiang Jinjiu came to his house pennilessly, earning living expenses as a waiter in Six Flavors Restaurant, and then blazed a trail in south hill city and opened Taibai bar with bare hand in a few years. The business of Taibai bar is several times better than Six Flavors Restaurant.
With good kung fu and righteous character, it is an exaggeration to describe Jiang Jinjiu as a hero. That's why, after encountering a series of strange events, the first one Fang Tang wanted to talk with was Jiang Jinjiu.
Jiang Jinjiu quietly listened to Fang Tang's story, which sounded like a fairy tale. But neither he interrupted nor did he question Fang Tang from the beginning to end.
After Fang Tang finished his story, Jiang Jinjiu thought for a while, walked to the side of the shelf, and picked up his mobile phone.
"Little Ba, it's me. Take two people with you to Six Flavors Restaurant now. Go through the back door, find the refrigerator and look for the bag with the name Shennong Mushroom, hold on …" Jiang Jinjiu turned his head and asked Fang Tang, "The salt, where did you put it?"
"In the seasoning cabinet next to the oven, there is a large dark blue jar."
"There is a large dark blue jar in the seasoning cabinet next to the oven, look for it and bring it back. Be careful when you get there in case you might be followed. Do it as fast as you can!" Jiang Jinjiu ordered.
"Bro Jiang, is it so serious?" Fang Tang was a little uneasy after hearing Jiang Jinjiu's arrangement.
Jiang Jinjiu sighed, "little Fang, you think too simple about this. Do you think these people will be grateful after their diseases are cured by your meal? People's greedy desire can be boundless. Don't forget that one of them was the boss of a pharmaceutical group. In their eyes, you are already worth a thousand dollars…no, you are an invaluable living prescription. With such a huge temptation of interest, it's not impossible that they might kidnap or even kill you for what they want."
"Kidnapping and killing?" Fang Tang did not expect that one day these two words would be related to himself.
"Before you even tell them the price, they would be willingly to pay 1 million yuan for a simple pot of noodles, have you ever wondered why they would do this?" Asked Jiang Jinjiu.
Fang Tang shook his head. He didn't understand why that aged man would suddenly give him a 1 million yuan check. He only charged 15 yuan for the Meiling porridge he served last night.
"I think it's your bonus added food that cured major diseases, even the terminal illness like cancer and AIDS." Jiang Jinjiu calmly analyzed.
"That might be impossible," Fang Tang stunned.
"We will know the answer after an investigation." Jiang Jinjiu said.
At this time, Jiang Jinjiu's cell phone rang, he cast a glance and pressed the speaker button.
"Boss, we get that two things and are on our way back now."
"Are there anyone waiting for the restaurant to open?"
"Yes, there are four luxury cars parked at the door of Six Flavors Restaurant. Someone in the car was watching and waiting. I checked the license plates. The owners are Fu Hongshen, Tong Yuquan and Sun Daoxian. The fourth one belongs to Nandi Group, no idea exactly to whom."
After hearing the words from Jiang Jinjiu's cell phone, Fang Tang started to realize that he had made a huge mistake.
"Then what should we do with this 1 million now? Shall we keep it or give it back." Fang Tang asked.
"Keep it, of course! You earned this money through legal way, and your identity is not a secret, so nothing can be hidden from them if they want to know." Jiang Jinjiu said this as he was pacing back and forth.
"Now we have to find a way to turn this into a good thing and convince them with your explanation." Jiang Jinjiu suggested.
"Then how?" asked Fang tang with confusion.
"Do you think they will believe it if you tell them that you add divine spell Heal into the food?" Fang Tang shook his head, because if it hadn't happened to him, he wouldn't believe such nonsense either.
"So you need to make up a convincing story."
