Chapter 8 : Thanks for the Invitation, I Need to Hurry Home

• "Alright! Alright! Boy, you better not go back on your word!"
• Li Tao agreed before Zhou Hongtai.
• His disciples followed suit, trying to provoke Lin Fan and make him take action.
• "Quiet down, all of you."
• Zhou Jingrong looked at Lin Fan and spoke up, "Are you really daring enough to take this bet?"
• "Of course!"
• "Grandpa, what do you think about this?"
• She still felt sorry for Lin Fan. After all, he lived in the countryside, and as long as he turned around and left, he could take fifty thousand yuan with him.
• It was a bit foolish to gamble it all away.
• "Let him try."
• "Alright! Let him try. If he can't do it well, don't blame us."
• "I keep my word."
• Under the witness of everyone, Lin Fan put on a white coat and picked a few knives in the kitchen.
• A one and a half meter long, weighing over one hundred and thirty pounds yellowfin tuna lay on the cutting board.
• "Hmph! I want to see how you do it! If you make even the slightest mistake, I'll have something to say about it!"
• Looking at Lin Fan's confident appearance, Li Tao sneered inwardly.
• But then, Lin Fan's next move left him dumbfounded!
• Not only him, but everyone watching was stunned at this moment.
• They saw Lin Fan pick up a knife.
• Cleanly and neatly, he cut off all the fins of the fish.
• His speed was extremely fast!
• His knife skills were excellent, cutting everything in one stroke!
• Then, he cut off the fish head with one stroke, made a small cut in the abdomen, and cleanly removed the fish's internal organs.
• Not a drop of blood was seen.
• After that, he picked up a long knife.
• He began to manipulate the fish.
• With a fluent stroke, he cut directly from the front half of the fish to the tail.
• A few minutes later, the meat of this big fish was cut into four large pieces by Lin Fan and placed on a clean white cloth.
• During this process.
• His movements were smooth and flowing.
• It was as if he wasn't killing a fish, but performing an art!
• It was extremely enjoyable to watch! It was captivating!
• And the fish meat he separated didn't have a single drop of blood!
• Using strange words to describe it, he didn't even touch the fish's blood vessels...
• The fish meat lying on the white cloth was crystal clear.
• It was like a jade sculpture made by an artist!
• If it was further processed, it would become a high-quality artwork!
• "Great knife skills! High-quality meat! This fish is worth it! And the person is not bad either!"
• Zhou Hongtai was the first to come back to his senses.
• Looking at Lin Fan's faint smile, he couldn't help but praise.
• Zhou Jingrong also nodded secretly.
• In the end, she had underestimated this young man.
• Although he came from the countryside, his knife skills just now were definitely not something an ordinary person could master!
• "This kid has a background!"
• Zhou Jingrong secretly observed Lin Fan, not knowing what else to think.
• "Old man, the quality of this fish meat is quite good. I suggest using half of it for steaming and the other half for sashimi. The taste will definitely be amazing."
• As Lin Fan took off his chef's uniform, he gave Zhou Hongtai a suggestion.
• "Alright! I'll listen to you!"
• Zhou Hongtai squinted his eyes, wanting to see Lin Fan clearly.
• But no matter how he looked, he felt that Lin Fan had a unique temperament.
• That kind of extraordinary temperament that was revealed in his every move and gesture shouldn't belong to an ordinary person.
• "Master, is my fish cutting technique acceptable?"
• Lin Fan looked at Li Tao. Didn't this guy like to jump around earlier?
• Now, he wanted to see him jump again?
• "It's acceptable! Very acceptable!"
• Li Tao was embarrassed.
• He was defeated by a young man from the countryside!
• The key was that this kid really had the ability!
• He didn't dare to say anything more in front of Zhou Jingrong and Zhou Hongtai.
• "I apologize for my previous remarks. I hope Mr. Lin can forgive me!"
• Li Tao respectfully bowed to Lin Fan.
• If he didn't do this, Zhou Jingrong would definitely fire him!
• "No need to apologize, I haven't lost anything."
• Lin Fan couldn't be bothered with this matter anymore. It was getting late, and he needed to hurry home. He couldn't keep Zhang Ling waiting.
• "Young man, I have a good impression of you. Can you stay and have dinner with us?"
• The more Zhou Hongtai looked at Lin Fan, the more satisfied he was.
• He wanted to take Lin Fan out of this county!
• If this kid went to the provincial capital, he would definitely achieve great things in the future!
• "Haha! Thanks for the invitation, but I left home early this morning. My family is worried, so I need to go back quickly."
• "No problem, I'll have someone drive you later."
• "Old man, to be honest, I live in Minghu Village. The road from the town to the village is only accessible by my tricycle."
• "Ah? You live in Minghu Village?"
• Zhou Jingrong was shocked.
• She knew about this village, the only village in the county known for being poor.
• When she traveled to the countryside, she saw a road sign just like what Lin Fan said.
• The road into Minghu Village was very narrow, and cars couldn't enter.
• "Yes, Boss Zhou, you know our village?"
• "Yes, I've seen the road sign to your village before. Since your family is worried, why don't you come to my office? I'll settle the bill for you."
• Zhou Hongtai couldn't force Lin Fan to stay.
• In the eighth-floor office, Zhou Jingrong didn't rush to settle the bill for Lin Fan.
• Instead, she talked to him about a deal. "Mr. Lin, since you can catch yellowfin tuna in the village, can you catch more seafood?"
• "It's hard to say. I was lucky this time. The convergence of the river and the ocean should be quite far, so I can't determine when I'll catch another big fish."
• "I'm not necessarily looking for big fish. I'm interested in the aquatic resources in your village. If there are more seafood, no matter what kind, I can bring them here."
• Zhou Jingrong had long wanted to expand the hotel's business.
• After all, Fenghe County was a major tourist county.
• Since the beginning of this year, everyone has been making more money and thinking about traveling everywhere. Fenghe County is quite famous within the province.
• In just half a year, the number of tourists has increased several times compared to last year.
• If they could obtain some local seafood to use as local specialty dishes, the hotel's profits would definitely increase significantly.
• "Well..."
• Lin Fan couldn't give a definite answer. He still wasn't sure about the rivers near the village and the resources in Minghu Lake.
• "Mr. Lin, rest assured, as long as you bring the goods, the price I offer here will definitely be higher than the market! I, Zhou Jingrong, can guarantee this with my reputation!"
• Excited, Zhou Jingrong stood up, supporting herself on the desk with both hands.
• Lin Fan sat across from her.
• That intimidating weapon almost made him spray out a nosebleed.
• "Boss Zhou, I agree! I'll go back and catch some, and if I have any harvest, I'll bring it to you!"
• Lin Fan quickly agreed.
• He also needed a buyer. When the time came, if he could get seafood, he could bring it directly and get a higher price!
• "Haha, that's settled then!"
• Seeing Lin Fan shift his gaze elsewhere, Zhou Jingrong realized her posture and couldn't help but smile.
• This Lin Fan was really a naive boy, probably a few years younger than herself.
• "Mr. Lin, give me your bank account number. I'll transfer the money for the yellowfin tuna to you."
• "Bank card?"
• Lin Fan didn't have that thing, and even if he did, he couldn't use it.
• After all, using something related to his identity information would bring unnecessary trouble.
