What happened today gave Fang Tang a good lesson. In the past 20 years, although he has encountered many setbacks, his father, brother Jiang, as well as many teachers and friends would help him and take care of everything. So, all he needed to do was to study hard and focus on cooking.
But now Six Flavors Restaurant is handed to him, when he needs to keep the restaurant running and face the challenges and hardships in life himself, he finds out that he is not as strong and intelligent as he imagined.
Although his kindness almost brought him into big trouble, Fang Tang still felt fortunate that he had trusted friends. Perhaps some people would prefer to keep their secrets and tell no one, but Fang Tang believed that if a person has no trustworthy friends, then his life might be incomplete and lonely.
It is a bless to be able to trust others. Even the lonely Batman also has a steward Alfred to trust. When he returns to Bat Cave, there is always someone waiting for him and trying his best to help him.
Fortunately, Fang Tang also has a friend he can fully trust and entrust. If it was not for Jiang Jinjiu, who helped him today, what he wanted might have had a tragic ending.
Fang Tang secretly made up his mind that in the future he would try hard to become better and stronger. Instead of being the one who needs to be helped and protected, he wants to have the ability to help and protect his friends.
Because of the two pills of so called"elixir", these four bigwigs formed a community of interests. And Fang Tang is now a member of them.
Pocketing the complete"elixir" in his bag, Yu Maolin was very happy. Before he left, he invited Fang Tang to his home next week as the chef for his sixtieth birthday party, and Fang Tang nodded in agreement.
In addition, Fang Tang talked with Fu Hongshen hoping that he would help to promote Six Flavors Restaurant. For Fu Hongshen, this is just a duck soup. What's more, he is very interested in this young man because he feels that this young boss is kind of mysterious.
When returning to Taibai Bar, Fang Tang couldn't hold back his excitement any more.
"Bro Jiang, you are fucking awesome. None of these bigwigs doubted the story you made up. And that two fake elixirs were sold for 50 million."
Jiang Jinjiu didn't expect this would go so smoothly, neither did he expect that Fang Tang would even make a lot of money from this. He said: "It's mainly because these four people have restrained each other. No one can behave too much, otherwise they will lose the opportunity. In a word, it is you that are favored by God."
"Will they find out the truth?" Fang Tang still felt uneasy.
"Not in a short time, the only flaw is the old man who sold you the Buddha statue in Waist Lane because he knows that you bought the Buddha statue today. And you made Meiling porridge for that first aged man yesterday, so the time of the story is not right." Jiang Jinjiu said.
"Then what shall we do to fix this?" Fang Tang also thought of this, but he believed that Jiang Jinjiu would have a way to make up this flaw.
As he thought, Jiang Jinjiu said with a smile,"Don't worry, I already know that old man selling antiques in Waist Lane, and he is not a good person. He was a tomb robber when he was young. Later, he would lie, cheat and steal from others. So, I asked someone to let go of the news that his foes are here looking for him. He had already bought a long-distance bus ticket and ran away. I guess that he dares not to come back in a short time. It would be at least six months later, when he did come back. And at that time, how could he still remember the specific time he sold this Buddha statue."
"Bro Jiang, you are really thoughtful." Fang Tang felt completely relived after hearing this.
In the following week, Fang Tang, who had money, asked Liu Haoren to help him re-arrange his restaurant. They purchased the latest cooking equipment, and hired new staff and chefs.
On the other hand, with the help of Fu Hongshen, TV stations, South Hill Evening News, Weekly Life, etc. all took the lead in reporting the time-honored restaurant Six Flavors, which quickly raised its popularity. And there was a long line of people waiting to dine on the day Six Flavors Restaurant re-opened.
A simple and classic restaurant layout, exquisite cuisine design and the most delicate flavor help Six Flavors Restaurant quickly become a new trend in the food field in South hill city. Most of these diners who have eaten here also highly recommended his restaurant on their blog and wechat zone.
Fang Tang took this chance trying to accumulate more"Faith in Food" points in a short time. He set up a special counter in front of his restaurant to sell six-flavor-kabobs, which were marinated with mushroom sauce specially made of fresh Walking Mushroom.
He used a long sword-shaped iron skewer to pierce beef, pork, mutton, yellow potato dices, red small tomatoes and green pepper slices these six ingredients together with proper space. Then, he placed these kabobs on a specially designed sectional grill, which has charcoal sections and boiling water sections mixed together. This way, meat that needs to be grilled can be put on the sections with higher temperature charcoal, and vegetables that are easy to burn can be put on the sections of grid with boiling water for steaming. He would press these ingredients together when they are cooked, and the colorful vegetables give these kabobs a nicer look.
Being gilled in this way, these kabobs are golden and shiny with clear dripping fat. Taking one big bite, its rich gravy will spread in your mouth. Like a tornado, its unique crispy and fragrant taste will immediately sweep your taste buds. If you can sprinkle some black pepper and chili powder, like this tornado being ignited, the delicate flavor will be 100 times magnified and overwhelm your nerves.
However, the vegetables mixed in it have no charcoal flavor at all. These steamed small tomatoes are soft and smooth, and its slightly sour flavor can well dissolve the greasy feeling of roasted meat. The crispy and sweet pepper highlights the deliciousness of the meat.
The best thing is the potato dices sandwiched between beef and pork, which absorbs the fat flowing from both sides while being cooked, and gets really soft as if it could melt in your mouth. That incredible taste and feeling could even trigger joyful tears.
With bright colors, strong meat fragrance and big meat dices, these sword-like kabobs very soon became the new favorite of selfies on social media.
People sometimes hold grilled kabobs as if they were wielding swords, sometimes imitate the Three Musketeers, each of them would hold a kabob and three of them would cross their kabob together. Some people would even use the dislocation to take selfies as if they are pulling a sword out of their mouth. All these creative selfies about food bring Six Flavors Restaurant and its big kabobs more people.
The lobby of Six Flavors Restaurant can only hold six big tables, each one can serve 10 people, and eight small tables, each one can serve 4 people. Therefore, it can receive at most 92 customers at the same time. Besides, about 4,000 six-flavor-kabobs can be sold each day from the barbeque counter. Apparently, his kabobs have already become the latest internet famous food of South Hill city.
After knowing that 4,000 kabobs were sold each day, Fang Tang was shocked as well. The fact is that there are still many people who want to buy his kabobs, but they are in short supply. Because of this, it is foreseeable that when the food programs produced by the TV stations are broadcast, there might be more tourists from all over the place. This makes Fang Tang half happy and half sad. He is happy to see the"faith in food" points getting higher, but sad about how to get the most important materials because there is not much Walking Mushroom left.
Although Fang Tang tries his best to save this mushroom, and each time he cooks, he would only cut a small piece and put it into the soup-stock, it is still consumed quickly because of the high demand. Especially the six-flavor-kabobs, he must marinate the meat with mushroom sauce made of fresh Walking Mushroom. Only that, can he maintain this unique flavor, which is favored by the consumers.
As for the mineral salt"Blue Sky", Fang Tang hasn't yet used it. He only brought back a piece of salt ore. After grinding it, the amount was only about a small jar, which is not enough for the daily usage of his restaurant.
Traveling from planes again has become imminent, however, the one hundred thousand"Faith in Food" points it requires can only be accumulated little by little.
While Fang Tang was having his happy worries, there was another person on the other side of the city being angrily furious.
"Dad, bastard Fang Tang's restaurant is having a really good business now. If this continues, when can we pull down his restaurant and start our project?" Bao Wenchao shouted this with great rage in the general manager's office.
"What are you angry about? Aren't you telling him about the arrears for a moment pleasure?" Bao Mingfan took his time and responded.
Bao Wenchao also knew that this thing was happening because he spilled the beans, so, he slumped on the sofa like a leaking balloon after hearing his father's answer. He complained in a low voice: "I was irritated by Fang Tang and Liu Haoren those two motherfuckers at that moment, so I said this wanting Fang Tang to leave his restaurant early."
"It's is just like a clown jumping in my palm, no need to worry about him." Bao Mingfan reached out his right palm and balled it tightly into a fist.
"With their current turnover, they will not make 20 million in five days. When the repayment deadline of the 19th comes, we will kick him out immediately, then you will take over the Six Flavors Restaurant and continue to operate it. This signboard is now quite valuable, so we actually need to thank that kid. It's like buy one get one free, haha."
Thinking that he would not only get the property the house, but also get a popular internet restaurant, Bao Mingfan laughed in a very good mood. Although Bao Wenchao has no interest in Six Flavors Restaurant, he also laughed after knowing that he could still make Fang Tang and Liu Haoren regret for offending him. The father and son never thought about that the young man who runs the restaurant may have a chance to reverse the situation.
The harsh laughter from the manager's room was like the sound made by two scavenger vultures after seeing a traveler named"Six Flavors Restaurant" in the desert, who had no water, and his death was approaching. It's a sickening cheering about the food they are going to get soon.
