Rebirth of the Rising Sun

It may be said that Fatty Zhang is not a well-educated person, but he does watch a lot of TV. On TV, he saw that in ancient times, when people met high-ranking officials, they would bow their heads to show respect, so he followed suit.

"Haha, Boss Zhang is here, please take a seat." Feng Sizhe didn't think too much about it. He used to go to Fatty Zhang's fish restaurant to sit and eat, but he was too busy recently. He often ate at the county restaurant at noon. Sometimes he was really hungry for carp, so he asked Chen Guangming, Li Shuang, or Su Qian to get one. He had less and less time to meet Fatty Zhang. Now that he saw Fatty Zhang at home, he naturally felt a little bit of intimacy, so he asked him to sit down.

Regardless of whether Feng Sizhe was being polite or not, or whether it was a gift, Fatty Zhang appreciated the favor, but he definitely didn't dare to let him sit. He knew that not only Secretary Feng was here, but also his guests, so how could he be so rude in front of others? "No need, I'm used to standing every day, haha."

"Oh, are you the one who made this dish of three ways to eat carp?" Bai Caixia didn't think too much about it. In the eyes of her little girl, there were not so many ordinary etiquettes.

"Yes, young lady, I am the one who cooked this dish." Fatty Zhang could tell that it was Secretary Feng's guest who was asking him a question, so he did not dare to be negligent and answered quickly.

"Hehe, I'm not some noble lady, don't call me that. If you must, just call me Miss Bai." Bai Caixia smiled, obviously she was not used to the title of noble lady. "Come, let me ask you, this dish you made is delicious, but can other people make it taste this good? Or do you have a secret recipe that others can't learn?"

Since she was planning to invite Fatty Zhang to Kyoto, he naturally had to know something about this dish. If other chefs could learn to make the same dish after eating it once, then she should not invite such people. Wouldn't that be giving others an advantage?

Fatty Zhang had long guessed that the guest's questions would revolve around this dish, so he nodded immediately and said, "Miss Bai is right. This carp three ways recipe does have my family secret recipe. Even if this dish is taken away by others, without my exclusive secret recipe, they can't learn it. Even if they can learn it, they can only learn 70% to 80%. The most important taste is something that can never be learned. I, Fatty Zhang, have some confidence in this."

It was true that Fatty Zhang had a secret recipe, but it was only because in a small place like Qiu County, everyone just ate for fun and no one would ask him such questions. Now when he heard Bai Caixia ask this, he had to admit that the other party had a good eye, so he told the truth.

"Haha, Brother Sizhe, you see there really is a secret recipe." Hearing Fatty Zhang say that he really had his own recipe, Bai Caixia smiled at Feng Sizhe, as if she was a god who could predict everything. Then, Bai Caixia asked Fatty Zhang directly, "Boss Zhang, right? I really like your three-way carp dish. I want to open a big restaurant in Kyoto, and the signature dish is your three-way carp dish. I wonder if you are willing to go to Kyoto with me to develop. Of course, the treatment will definitely be much better than running a restaurant in Qiu County."

Since Bai Caixia already had an idea in her mind, she spoke directly. Besides, she knew that if there was anything she couldn't say, Brother Sizhe would definitely add to it for her. What did she have to worry about?

Fatty Zhang really hadn't thought about developing elsewhere. He had only just begun to show his talents in Qiu County, and it was only under the protection of Feng Sizhe that he was able to achieve his current situation. He had never thought about going to Kyoto. It would be strange if he wasn't stunned when someone suddenly asked him such a question. "What? Going to Kyoto... Opening a restaurant in Kyoto?"

Even if Fatty Zhang was ignorant, he knew that Kyoto was actually the capital of the Republic. It was a place full of talented people and elites. How could he survive in Kyoto with just this three-course meal of carp? He would be embarrassed if he returned to Qiu County with nothing.

"What are you still hesitating about? Isn't it better to go to Kyoto than to stay in Qiu County? Besides, you don't have to spend a penny on the investment. You just need to make three dishes of carp. I will naturally arrange other matters and the chef. What do you think?" Bai Caixia is impatient. Once she has decided on something, she will want to finish it as soon as possible.

Hearing that he could make a huge profit by cooking three dishes of carp without investing any money, Fatty Zhang hesitated. His fat head and big ears shook in place, and then he suddenly said, "This still won't work."

"No? Why? Let me tell you, Boss Zhang, the money you can earn in Kyoto in one year may be equal to what you can earn in Qiu County for a lifetime. You'd better think about it before you answer." Bai Caixia was very surprised when she heard Fatty Zhang unexpectedly reject her proposal. In her opinion, no one would reject such a good thing. Is Fatty Zhang mentally ill?

"This... I know Miss Bai is doing this for my own good, but I also have my own ideas." Fatty Zhang saw that the other party had spoken so bluntly. If he did not give some reasons, the other party would inevitably feel that he was being too arrogant. If that happened, a good thing would easily turn into a bad thing.

"What do you think? What do you think?" Bai Caixia really couldn't imagine any reason why a person who opened a small restaurant in the county town would not go to Kyoto to open a big restaurant and make a lot of money.

Bai Caixia asked again. Fatty Zhang thought about it and decided to tell the reason. Although he would feel that he was flattering, he couldn't just stand there. Not only would he upset Secretary Feng's friends, but he would also offend Secretary Feng. That would be more trouble than gain. "The thing is, there are still many old customers in Qiu County who like my three-way carp recipe. Secretary Feng likes it very much. If I go to Kyoto, what should I do if Secretary Feng wants to eat it in the future? I, Fatty Zhang, can have what I have today because of Secretary Feng's care. I can't forget my roots and leave here just for the sake of profit."

Fatty Zhang lowered his head and spoke out his concerns. To be honest, this was mostly true, but a small part of it was just a clever trick. He wanted to take this opportunity to show his loyalty to Feng Sizhe.

"Hahaha, haha." Feng Sizhe was immediately amused when he heard that Fatty Zhang actually used such a reason to not go with Bai Caixia. How could he not have seen that Fatty Zhang would be such a person? He usually looked fat and honest, but it turned out that he was also smart. What he said actually showed that he wanted to develop in Kyoto, but was only hindered by his own connections. Well, if he didn't say that, then Feng Sizhe could really say that he was an ungrateful person when he saw him leave, but now that he said this, it was another matter.

Feng Sizhe was laughing loudly, and Bai Caixia was puzzled. She was still young and didn't have so many schemes when dealing with things. "Brother Sizhe, what are you laughing at? Are you really unwilling to let me go and let me watch such a good opportunity slip away? You said that although you are the county party secretary of Qiu County, how come even the owner of a small restaurant has to listen to you about where to go? I don't care, anyway, this idea is yours, you have to find a way for me." Bai Caixia didn't understand why Feng Sizhe was laughing, so she simply stopped thinking about it and used the girl's trump card to act like a spoiled child to talk to her brother Sizhe.

"Oh, sister Caixia, please don't be like this. I didn't say I wouldn't let him go, but this boss Zhang is a man of conscience. He also knows that if he leaves, I won't be able to eat carp three times anymore. Haha, but for my sister Caixia's ideal, I think you can still take this person away. At least I don't object." Feng Sizhe knew that Bai Caixia had never had a full meal when she was with her brother Bai Zhifei when she was young. When she was young, she often wandered around the restaurant, thinking that if any customer had something they couldn't eat, they could get a bargain. For this reason, Bai Caixia had an ideal since she was a child, that is, to open a big restaurant, preferably a big restaurant that can be found all over the country, that is, a chain store, so that no matter where she goes, she can eat delicious food, and she doesn't have to spend money, isn't it happy?

Now that he knew that Bai Caixia had such an idea, why would Feng Sizhe stop her at this time? Why didn't he express his position immediately and tell Fatty Zhang not to consider his feelings?

The comment that Boss Zhang still has a conscience was a comment on Fatty Zhang. Fatty Zhang, who lowered his head, immediately understood that Feng Sizhe had agreed to let him go to Kyoto. He immediately said, "Thank you Secretary Feng for your help."

"Haha, I can't say I'm helping you, but I also hope that people who live by their own abilities can live a better life. Now that you have such an opportunity, you might as well follow her. Work hard. I believe you can change your life with your own hands. But there is one thing, don't blame me for not making it clear to you in advance. If you decide to follow Miss Bai, you must follow Miss Bai. If one day, for other reasons, I betray Miss Bai, what will happen then? Think about it clearly for yourself."
