Shopkeeper Luo was ordered to leave, as for how to arrange the dishes, that was his own job, and Lin Baoliang didn't need to bother.

The hot dish still needs a while to be served, and the cold spell was served shortly after the shopkeeper Luo left, the finely carved peacock, the vivid unicorn, and the smiling Maitreya Buddha made Sun Dong think it was an ornament on the table, so that it was not until Lin Baoliang picked up a piece of lotus root and put it in his mouth for demonstration, then he put his mind at ease and started eating, Lin Zicong was very conscientious to take on the role of the little brother, and explained to Tan Xiaotian very enthusiastically the names of each dish, the ingredients and taste, whether it was delicious or not, etc., It's hard for him to remember so clearly at such a young age.

"Hehe, Mr. Lin, Ling Sun is really smart, I haven't even heard of so many dishes before, but he is like a treasure, amazing, amazing." Sun Dong praised.

"Hehe, what is smart, he only knows how to eat, and he doesn't know how to put his mind on the right path, if he is half like every day, I will be relieved." Lin Baoliang said with a smile.

"Heh, a few children are not good to eat and play, and when you are older and sensible, you will be much more worried when you are old." Sun Dong said with a smile.

"Hehe, you, you know that you haven't got married yet. As the saying goes, 'A man lives a hundred years, Often worry about ninety-nine', people live in the world, how can there be a real worry-free time, children have to worry about when they are young, and they still have to worry about when they grow up, nothing more than the heart of the worry is different, just like doing business, there is a store when thinking about two stores, there are two stores when thinking about three stores, today I earn a hundred taels will think that tomorrow if I can earn two hundred taels will be content, but when I really earn two hundred taels tomorrow, I will think about whether I can earn three hundred taels the day after tomorrow, the so-called human heart is not enough to swallow elephants, most people understand this truth, but when it comes to the end, there are few who can really control themselves。 Lin Baoliang said with a smile.

Oh, yes. You're always right, but then again, it's probably only an accomplished old man like you who is qualified to say such a thing, and it's convincing to say it. Sun Dong thought for a moment, and then said.

"Oh, why?" Lin Baoliang asked with interest.

"People go to high places, water flows to low places, and who doesn't want to live a better life in the world? Today is better than yesterday, and tomorrow is better than today. This is the joy and motivation of life, if a person sees through the red dust early and is satisfied with the status quo, how can he break out of the sky and achieve a career? This is like us chess players, who are satisfied with the general way of moving, and the chess they play is only below the general proportion, and the chess skills are not advancing or retreating, and they are getting worse and worse. On the contrary, only by having the courage to challenge and dare to try those new tricks that have never been seen before can we achieve unexpected results. Of course. There are quite risks associated with that, but on the flip side, if everything goes according to plan, everything goes as planned. There are no surprises at all, so is there any surprise? Sun Dong smiled.

"Hmmm. It makes sense, young people are young people, and their ideas are different from those of an old man like me. Lin Baoliang nodded again and again, appreciating Sun Dong's words, as the saying goes, 'people are not rash and young', when they are at the other party's age, why not be high-spirited, Top Gun, and dung when they were ten thousand households? It's just that real life is far more complicated than the ideal country, and the grinding of decades of Cangsang has already turned the fledgling boy who didn't know the height of the sky into a businessman who is honest and serious, and full of calculations, and now that I think about it, it is really embarrassing.

"Where, Lin Lao, you praised it falsely, and your late life talked nonsense, which made you laugh." Sun Dong hurriedly said modestly--what does an old man like Lin Baoliang not understand? My own little knowledge is just a joke in front of others, and people's praise is polite, if I am satisfied with this, it is too naïve.

"Hehe, what's there to laugh at, young man, it's supposed to be like this. But then again, do you have any plans for your future? Lin Baoliang smiled kindly, as if an elder treats his own son, nephew, and junior.

"Me? Oh, you may feel too unambitious to say it. When it comes to his future plans, Sun Dong is rarely a little weak-hearted, indeed, in front of a successful person like Lin Baoliang to talk about his outlook for the future, how many people will not be empty-minded?

"Hehe, the so-called people have their own ambitions, what does it mean to be too ambitious? Besides, no matter if your ambitions are big enough or not, what's the point in speaking up and listening to them? Lin Baoliang persuaded with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll say it, don't laugh at it." was repeatedly requested by Lin Baoliang, and Sun Dong couldn't shirk it anymore.

", I think, before the age of thirty, I can participate in the Imperial Chess Battle, and then enter the Hanlin Academy, and become a chess player." Sun Dong replied.

"Oh, that's a good ambition. As a chess player, it is normal to want to enter the Hanlin Academy, become a chess player, and crown the word 'national player' on your head, how can I laugh at you? Lin Baoliang smiled.

"Heh, thank you for your understanding." Sun Dong thanked.

"Hehe, what's this. It's just that I'm a little strange, why do you limit yourself to thirty? As far as I know, most of the chess players who entered the Hanlin Academy were around 245, and some of them even became chess players in their early twenties. Lin Baoliang asked with a smile.

"Heh, no way, it's just an ideal, to be honest, I know that it's unlikely to become a reality." Sun Dong smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Huh? Why?" Lin Baoliang was even more curious.

"The Imperial Chess Battle is the highest-level Go competition in the Great Zhou, bringing together first-class masters from all over the country, and there is no one who is not an excellent chess player who has not been experienced in a hundred battles. And I, although the talent in chess is still said in the past, but in the most critical period of laying the foundation when I was young, I failed to continue my studies for various reasons, and then returned to Qingyun City, although I have been working hard to practice chess, but I have no famous teacher to guide me, and my progress is limited. Achieving it before the age of 30 is already a dream for me. Sun Dong smiled bitterly.

"Oh, I see? So you left Qingyun City and came to Yangzhou to realize your dream? Lin Baoliang nodded understandingly, and then asked. (To be continued......)
