Chapter 899: Road to Fortune
"No, but I've written down the license plate. I'll have someone check it out when I have time."
It would probably take a long time for Sister Ma and others to tow the car, so everyone decided to find a restaurant to eat.
Sister Ma said, "Then I'll take you there. There's a restaurant that makes the same crabs that I make. It'll be the same if you eat it here."
A few people arrived at the restaurant, and Sister Ma ordered several flavors of crabs. However, the old man started dozing off before the food arrived.
Tang Zheng hurriedly said, "Dad, don't fall asleep. The crabs will be here soon!"
Old Xia agreed, forced himself to be alert, and opened his eyes wide, fearing that he would not be able to open them if he closed them.
Lan Tian asked Tang Zheng in a low voice: "How did you two know each other? You don't know that this old Xia was a well-known figure in our Magic City. It was difficult for others to establish a relationship with him."
Tang Zheng was a little surprised: "Isn't he just a master craftsman who knows some skills?"
Could it be that Lantian also knew that her adoptive father’s family had so much wealth?
Lantian looked at Tang Zheng as if he were a fool: "The richest man in our Magic City is Mr. Yuanlao. Guess where Mr. Xia ranks?"
Tang Zheng hesitated for a moment, then stretched out all ten fingers.
Lantian smiled and pressed down one of Tang Zheng's hands.
Tang Zheng opened his mouth wide and looked at Xia Quanguang: "Really...really?"
Xia Quanguang only glanced at Tang Zheng and then looked away, with no intention of explaining.
Lantian nodded heavily: "Of course it's true."
Tang Zheng opened his mouth, wondering if the old man was ranked fifth because of the jewellery. Those old items must be worth a lot of money, and he wondered if they could be compared with the cultural relics in her museum.
Then, I heard Lantian say: "But he donated it all."
Tang Zheng: "..."
“The crab is ready!”
Tang Zheng wanted to know more, when the store manager came over with crabs.
Sister Ma smiled and asked, "How are your crabs selling?"
The smile on the store manager's face faded a little: "It's OK, but it's not as popular as the specialties of other stores."
Tang Zheng said, "Then you can also make more special dishes. With more styles, there will be more customers."
The store manager smiled and said, "What you said makes sense. We are also considering it."
As soon as the crabs came up, the old man became much more energetic. His favorite food in his life happened to be crabs.
Tang Zheng wanted to peel one for the old man, but he was not strong enough, so he asked the store manager: "Do you provide crab peeling service?"
The store manager was a little puzzled: "What do you mean?"
Tang Zheng explained: "Eating crabs is a bit troublesome. For example, some people have difficulty with their hands, or are unwilling to do it, or don't know how to peel them. You can provide this service and charge a reasonable service fee."
When the store manager heard this, his eyes lit up immediately: "Why didn't I think of this? The reason why our store's business is not very good is mostly because customers think eating crabs is too troublesome. If we provide this service, then business will definitely improve!"
Lantian had already started peeling the crabs. He finished quickly and was about to hand them to the older Mr. Xia. Xia Quanguang had also peeled his crabs and handed them to Mr. Xia first.
So Lantian handed his crab to Tang Zheng. Before Tang Zheng could thank him, Old Xia took away the crab that Xia Quan had peeled with disgust.
"I wish I was a girl!"
Tang Zheng hesitated for a moment, then handed over the crab that Lantian had peeled for her.
Xia Quanguang gave the crab he peeled to Tang Zheng and warned Lan Tian: "She has a family and children, don't have any unreasonable expectations!"
Tang Zheng: "..."
Lantian: "…Does it have anything to do with you?"
Xia Quanguang glanced at the old man and said indifferently: "She can be considered my aunt."
Tang Zheng almost spit out words and said, if, if Lantian had any improper thoughts about her, wouldn't Xia Quanguang have to call his own brother uncle?
Tang Zheng wiped his mouth and quickly explained: "We are just good friends. Lantian helped me because he saw that my hands were inconvenient, and he knew I had a partner."
Xia Quanguang snorted and said nothing more.
The old man was addicted to crabs and ate two in one go. Tang Zheng quickly said, "Dad, crabs are cold in nature, you should eat less. Try this seafood porridge."
The old man obeyed Tang Zheng's words completely. Although he was a little reluctant, he still threw the remaining crabs to Xia Quanguang.
Lantian felt a little emotional. Many people in Shanghai knew that the old man's daughter was missing. In order to establish a relationship with the old man, of course some people had improper ideas. Not to mention pretending to be his daughter, many people came to pretend to be his grandson, but all ended up in vain.
Maybe Tang Zheng's face really looks like the old man's daughter.
After dinner, the people who came to help Sister Ma tow the car arrived. After the car was towed away, Sister Ma got into Tang Zheng’s car and took them to Handan Lake.
Tang Zheng couldn't stop drooling when he saw the crabs and shrimps aplenty in the lake.
Sister Ma introduced: "The crabs and shrimps here grow well, are large in size, and taste good, but it's a bit difficult to sell them."
Tang Zheng looked around and said to Sister Ma, "Actually, the scenery here is very beautiful. In addition to raising shrimps and crabs, you can also start a tourism business."
Sister Ma was a little surprised when she heard this: "How do you do this?"
Tang Zheng said, "Nowadays, people's living conditions are gradually getting better. Rich people travel and eat some delicacies from land and sea. You can combine the two together. Not only can you enjoy the scenery, but you can also eat delicious food. If people have a good time and eat well, they will not only recommend guests, but also bring some local specialties back to visit relatives and give gifts."
As soon as Tang Zheng said this, Sister Ma's mind was immediately opened. She was so excited that she couldn't speak for a long time: "Canyang... my dear sister... you have given me a way to make a fortune!"
Tang Zheng smiled and said, "I'm just talking about my own thoughts. How to do it and what the result will be are all uncertain."
Lan Tian was very impressed with Tang Zheng: "With your method, it will be hard for Sister Ma not to make money."
Sister Ma laughed heartily. She clapped her hands and said, "Oh, good sister, I will do as you say. Don't worry, if I make money, I will definitely give you 3%... Oh no, 5%!"
Tang Zheng didn't expect Sister Ma to be so honest. She just moved her mouth, but Sister Ma actually wanted to give her dividends.
"Since you said so, I will definitely help you develop your tourism business. I happen to own a scenic spot, which is developing quite well. I'll have someone sort out some information and send it to you. I'm sure it will be helpful. If you need any funds, I can also help."
Sister Ma laughed so hard that she couldn't stop: "Canyang, you are my savior. To be honest, if you hadn't come, I don't know what to do with the things in this lake. And I do have some financial pressure. You have solved my urgent need!"
At this time, Lantian interrupted and said, "You all want to cooperate. Everyone who sees this will get a share. I will also invest a little. When the time comes, you can decide how to distribute the dividends, Sister Ma."
Sister Ma thought about it for a while and said, "Okay, that's great. I have to plan it carefully!"
