"Aren't you, sir, alone?" the crane-haired old man looked at Gao Xiaoleng with shocked eyes.

"Of course not, we are a gastronomic team, and if you can prepare the formalities for us to go ashore, our gastronomic team can help you do something about food. Gao Xiao said coldly.

"Sir still has a food team, I will tell the owner what he means. The old man with a childish face said happily.

"Well, do you want to eat grilled fish again?" Gao Xiaoleng directly threw the bait.

"It's useless!" said the old man with a childish face.

"I want to learn the local language from you, after all, when you go ashore, it will always be inconvenient to trouble your old translator. Gao Xiao said coldly.

"Yes. However, during your studies, this grilled fish will be filling. The old man with a childish face said slyly.

"No problem, but you have to provide all the ingredients and tools. Gao Xiaoleng didn't say too much.

"That's natural, as long as we bring the owner over again, there is no need to worry about things like ingredients and kitchenware. The old man with a childish face said slyly.

"Alright then, that's it. Gao Xiaoleng has no opinion.

The next thing is to learn the language and cook, Gao Xiaoleng's cooking skills are not just grilled fish, now Gao Xiaoleng has come to the food continent, and it is finally a place where cooking skills can be greatly played.

Since this is the first day of the boat's Ma Guo, there are still two days to return to the sea, Gao Xiaoleng knows that this is the opportunity for Ma Guo to get three days of fishing with a lot of effort, so Gao Xiaoleng will not urge him, anyway, Gao Xiaoleng will let this Ma Guo fish every day in the future.

Gao Xiaoleng believes in his cooking skills, Gao Xiaoleng has learned the local language in the past two days, and now Gao Xiaoleng can communicate directly with the shipowner Ma Guo, and Gao Xiaoleng has also learned more information from Ma Guo.

It can be seen that the local language is still very important, after all, it is very inconvenient to use that ancient sigil language, not only can you only communicate with the old man, but there are also many new things that cannot be described in that ancient language at all.

Now that Gao Xiaoleng is proficient in the local language, he only needs to release his divine sense to understand a lot of information, including the chats of those coolies, and the conversations of those who help the cooks, which are all ways for Gao Xiaoleng to quickly understand the food continent.

Two days later, Gao Xiaoleng and the others were already very familiar with the people on the ship, especially because of Gao Xiaoleng, everyone was very polite to Gao Xiaoleng, which made Gao Xiaoleng feel that this was his second hometown.

After going ashore, the shipowner Ma Guo bowed his head to the thin middle-aged man who was in charge of the management of the import and export shores and said good words, of course, these good words were useless at all, Gao Xiaoleng and a few others were almost arrested by the guards at the dock.

In the end, the shipowner Ma Guo escaped with a bag of dark stones, this matter can be regarded as the past, Gao Xiaoleng sneered in his heart, the world is as black as a crow, and it is the same everywhere.

However, Gao Xiaoleng did not hate the thin middle-aged man, because if he met an upright steward, it would be even more troublesome, and it was very fair to spend money to eliminate disasters now.

The shipowner Ma Guo cursed the thin middle-aged man angrily in private, but Gao Xiaoleng didn't answer his words, after all, the thin middle-aged man applied for a temporary residence permit for Gao Xiaoleng and others, and it is said that if you want to obtain permanent residency rights, you must participate in the annual food competition in the food continent, and now what Gao Xiaoleng has to do is to help the shipowner Ma Guo obtain a fishing permission for three days a week, which is a permission that Ma Guo has not obtained for half his life.

Such food competitions are held every week, and it is very convenient to register, and immigrants with temporary residence permits can also participate, but such registration requires a large registration fee, and the contestants who fail the competition will not only not get the corresponding fishing opportunities, but will not refund the registration fee.

Therefore, without a certain certainty, it is impossible to register and waste the registration fee.

The specific method is to challenge the top ten comptoirs that already have this right, of course, those firms that already have this right will still participate in such a competition, if the escort is successful, not only can they continue to get such fishing opportunities three days a week, but also get half of the opponent's registration fee, and the contestants who have obtained the right to protect the merchants do not need to pay the registration fee.

Gao Xiaoleng took a look at the information of these top ten trading houses, and immediately understood the difficulty of this food competition, because if Gao Xiaoleng could help the shipowner Ma Guo obtain this fishing opportunity for three days a week, it would make the shipowner Ma Guo's fleet strength at least four times more than fourfold, and thus become one of the top ten trading houses near this wharf.

It can be said that if Gao Xiaoleng can help the shipowner Ma Guo obtain this right, it will make the shipowner Ma Guo soar, and if Gao Xiaoleng fails, it will make the shipowner Ma Guo lose a large amount of registration fees, and it will also cause the ridicule of his peers.

In fact, now the shipowner Ma Guo has begun to be ridiculed by his peers, saying that he is so ambitious and unrealistic, and he can get the fishing opportunity for three days a month is already the smoke of the ancestral tomb, and now he is actually wishful thinking to seize the interests of the top ten trading houses, which is really ignorant.

The only thing about the shipowner's horse pot is that he has eaten Gao Xiaoleng's cooking, as long as Gao Xiaoleng can play normally, his horse pot may turn over.

The shipowner Ma Guo has not slept well in the past two days, he is so excited, the title of the top ten commercial houses of Pudong Wharf was born in such a competition, as far as he knows, only a few have succeeded in challenging in the past ten years, and once the challenge is successful, it is a major event of Pudong Wharf, which will go down in history.

Even if Ma Guo's fishing boat can obtain such a title for a week, then he Ma Guo can be regarded as reaching the peak of his life.

In the past two days, Ma Guo has been busy preparing for the challenge, although Gao Xiaoleng did not take this food competition seriously, but Ma Guo is different, he even went to the market to sell sea fish wholesale directly to his subordinates, and he was busy with the challenge with the elderly chef Uncle Ma.

On the day of the challenge, there was actually nothing to do with Ma Guo, but the very excited Ma Guo couldn't stop at all, and when Gao Xiaoleng entered the competition venue, Ma Guo and his Uncle Ma were stopped, and Ma Guo grabbed Gao Xiaoleng's arm tightly, and the samurai guarding almost threw Ma Guo out.
