Cao Wei soon found a small fishing boat through acquaintances in the town.

Today, the sun is shining, the wind and waves are calm, and it is convenient to go to sea.

As the saying goes, Wangshan runs a dead horse, but in fact, Wangdao is similar.

The island seemed to be visible, and it didn't seem to be far from where Qin Zhengfan was standing, but it was actually more than ten kilometers.

The small fishing boat drove for about forty minutes before arriving at the island with Qin Zhengfan and the others.

The island is called Cactus Island.

It is so named because there are five uninhabitable reef islands on the periphery of the island, which is the largest and right in the middle of the five uninhabitable islands. Viewed from the air, it looks like a large palm, and the cactus island is just the palm of the hand, and the five uninhabitable islands on the periphery are like the five fingers of the palm.

Because of this, the five reef islands were named Daxian Island, Shixian Island, Zhongxian Island, Wuxian Island and Xiaoxian Island.

When Qin Zhengfan had just arrived at the five outer reef islands, his eyes were already flashing with a hint of surprise, and when he stepped on Cactus Island, his heart was even more happy.

Not only is it quiet and undisturbed by the outside world, but what is even more rare is that the aura of heaven and earth here is much richer than that of Nanlan Bay Beach.

"Master's books record that the lineages of some major sects on the Liuhe Star have formations that can be arranged to gather aura. It's a pity that Master doesn't understand this aspect, and there is no record collection of this aspect. Otherwise, if I set up a spirit gathering array in this place and practice here every day at the beginning of the day and at the end of the day, it will really be a fairyland on earth, and the speed of cultivation will inevitably increase greatly. Qin Zhengfan looked around, and faintly felt that the five reef islands on the periphery had a mysterious connection with this cactus island, and even extended all the way to the underwater world, as if they were all one, and he couldn't help but feel both surprise and regret.

In the middle of Cactus Island is a small mini mountain range, about sixty or seventy meters high, which stretches across most of the island, and is lush with trees and many birds.

The owner of the small fishing boat told Qin Zhengfan that this mini mountain range is called Palm Pattern Mountain, which means the palm pattern on the cactus.

The foothills surrounding the palm-patterned mountain are dotted with dozens of old houses, most of which have collapsed, as well as overgrown fields with natural depressions and ponds scattered in between.

"The island is small and there are no rivers, so the villagers used to rely on these natural ponds and some of their own facilities to store fresh water. This fresh water is used to drink both humans and animals and to irrigate fields. But because water storage depends on the sky, once there is a dry weather, not to mention watering the fields, even people drinking water is a problem. ”

"It's a problem, but also people who are sick, children's education, buying daily necessities, typhoon weather, and so on. Therefore, people sometimes see the island from afar, and imagine that the islanders on the island seem to live a leisurely life like a paradise. ”

"Actually, we have always struggled with nature for our lives, and it's actually quite hard. Especially for children's education, we don't want our younger generation to continue to live on this small island like our ancestors, so we all moved one after another. The owner of the small fishing village introduced.

He used to be an islander on this cactus island.

"Zhengfan, forget it. The island is now completely deserted, and it is a lot of work and investment to bulldoze these collapsed old houses, not to mention the investment in renovating the island. And there are more than ten kilometers away from the land, it is too inconvenient to enter and exit, and from time to time there will be waves, and you can't walk away if you want to, so this kind of place is suitable for occasional vacations. ”

"But if you really want to go on vacation, there are many places, the scenery is much more beautiful than here, and you can keep changing places, so why spend a lot of money in this place?" Qin Jiaqian listened to the words of the owner of the small fishing boat, looked at the surrounding environment, and thought that it would cost two million yuan to buy the island, and at least several million yuan would be invested in the transformation later, so he couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Second uncle, it's not early, let's go back. Qin Zhengfan smiled noncommittally.

He was determined to buy this island, not only this island, but also the five small reef islands on the periphery.

It's just that now that the owner of the small fishing boat is present, he can't say much, otherwise once the word spreads, the town government will sit on the ground and raise the price, and then he will have to pay more.

Qin Zhengfan's money didn't come from the wind, and he was still unwilling to pay for the wrongful money.

"Well, it's really not early, if you don't rush back, it is estimated that it will be dark by the clouds. Qin Jiaqian saw that Qin Zhengfan only glanced at it a few times and said that he was leaving, and thought that he had accepted his suggestion, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

So soon the group returned to Lansha Town in a small fishing boat.

After returning to Lansha Town, the group got into the car non-stop.

This time, Qin Zhengfan and Qin Jiaqian sat in Cao Wei's car, while Huang Xiaozhi drove the dilapidated van alone.

Originally, according to Qin Zhengfan's intention, the broken car was thrown in Yinyue Shopping Mall first, but Huang Xiaozhi and Qin Jiaqian were reluctant and insisted on driving back, and Qin Zhengfan had no choice but to go with them.

"Mr. Cao, you should know the people from the Lansha Town Government, right? Help me make an appointment another day, I want to talk to them about the purchase of Cactus Island and the surrounding five reef islands, there are several plots of land around the Lantian Bay Resort Hotel and Villa Project, I am also interested and want to talk to them. Qin Zhengfan said to Cao Wei, who was driving.

Cao Wei's hand holding the steering wheel trembled slightly when he heard this, he thought that Qin Zhengfan had given up Cactus Island, but he didn't expect that he was not only interested in Cactus Island, but also interested in the five reef islands around it, and even he was really ready to buy land in Lansha Town.

"Zhengfan, are you really going to buy those islands?" Qin Jiaqian looked surprised, and before Cao Wei could speak, he had already opened his mouth to ask.

"Yes, second uncle, after I graduate from my doctorate, I will find a way to teach at Yongtong University. I'm going to make my home on the island of Palm Fairy when I arrive. I've thought about all the issues you mentioned before. ”

"After all, there are still few bad weather, as for the distance, it is inconvenient to enter and exit, the big deal is that I will build a helipad on the side of the Lantian Bay Resort and Villa Project and Zhangxian Island, and it should be much more convenient and faster for helicopters to enter and exit." Qin Zhengfan replied.

Cao Wei and Qin Jiaqian opened their mouths wide when they heard this, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time, and they couldn't help but sigh with emotion in their hearts, the world and ideas of rich people are really not what we poor people can imagine, I am still thinking that it will cost a lot of money to buy an island, and it is inconvenient to take a boat to enter and exit the island, but as a result, he has already thought about buying a helicopter directly to enter and exit.

"So, you must be ready to start with the Lantian Bay Resort Hotel and Villa Project?" Qin Jiaqian asked again after a while.

Compared with the Lantian Bay Resort Hotel and Villa Project, the Cactus Island side is always a small amount of money, and the real big head is still on the Lantian Bay Resort Hotel and Villa Project.

Not only will about 70 million be invested here, but more will be invested in the future.

Even though Qin Jiaqian knew that Qin Zhengfan now had more than 300 million in his card, including him, according to Qin Zhengfan's method and speed of spending money, Qin Jiaqian was still a little panicked in his heart.

"Yes second uncle, I like this place and am optimistic about this place. Qin Zhengfan replied with an affirmative face.

He once traveled almost half of Chu'an City, and only then did he find that the area around Liuhe Mountain was more suitable for cultivation.

Although he didn't specifically look for a suitable place to practice in Yongtong City, when he rode his second uncle's minivan all the way through the city and suburbs just now, the aura of heaven and earth was thin and muddy, which was even inferior to Chu'an City by one or two points.

Now I suddenly saw such a place with a relatively strong aura here in Lansha Town, especially the aura of heaven and earth in the sea area of Zhangxian Island, and those islands seemed to extend along the bottom of the sea, and they were all in one.

Qin Zhengfan was almost 100% sure that it was impossible to find a more suitable place to practice in Yongtong City.

Whether Qin Zhengfan makes money or continues to stay in the world to temper his mind, in fact, in the final analysis, the biggest purpose is to serve his cultivation.

Now that this place is so suitable, how could Qin Zhengfan let it go?

Not to mention that he has money now, even if he doesn't have money, he will probably find a way to raise money immediately.

"But this requires a lot of money, even if you have more than 300 million cash now, I'm afraid it will be ...... at your investment rate," Qin Jiaqian said with a worried look on his face.

"More than 300 million!" Cao Wei heard this, and his hand holding the steering wheel shook suddenly, almost having an accident.

Of course, he had guessed that Qin Zhengfan was very rich now, but he never dreamed that he would have more than 300 million cash in hand!

"Second uncle, don't worry, don't we have to discuss doing business together when we go back this time. There is my own secret recipe, this business is basically a unique business, as long as there are no problems, it is generally a sure profit, and my cash is actually more than 300 million, this is only a part of me, so you don't have to worry. You should know my character, I have been more conservative and cautious in doing things since I was a child. Qin Zhengfan saw Qin Jiaqian's worried face, so he had to pat the back of his hand lightly and continue to reveal some family background.

"More than 300 million?" Qin Jiaqian opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak for a long time.

He thought that more than 300 million was already an astronomical amount, but he didn't expect that this was only a part of his nephew's net worth.

As for Cao Wei, he felt that his feet were soft when he stepped on the accelerator, and then suddenly raised his hand and slapped his face.

"Mr. Cao, what are you doing?" Qin Zhengfan blurted out when he saw this.

"I want to sober myself up!" Cao Wei replied.

"It's not that exaggerated, Mr. Cao, you are also the owner of a big hotel. Qin Zhengfan couldn't laugh when he heard this.

"Dr. Qin, don't, what big hotel do you want to mention, I'll just find a crack in the ground and drill it. You don't know, you did me a great favor at that time, and I even went to my cousin Sun Yu privately and asked him if he wanted to give you some money. It's a good thing I didn't show my hand, otherwise I wouldn't have laughed at the dead. Cao Wei said.

"Actually, I didn't have much money at that time, otherwise I wouldn't have watched my second uncle work so hard. I only have this money recently, as for how it is, you don't need to ask, it's very legal anyway. Qin Zhengfan said.

Cao Wei and Qin Jiaqian grew their mouths again when they heard this, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

After a long time, Qin Jiaqian came back to his senses, looked at Qin Zhengfan with a serious face and said, "Zhengfan, do whatever you want in the future, you don't need to explain it to the second uncle." You are a person with great ability, and the second uncle believes in you!"

"Hehe, I have some skills, but there are always times when I am negligent, and the second uncle should be reminded. Qin Zhengfan said.

"Haha, then you are not allowed to think of the second uncle for being verbose, old thoughts!" Qin Jiaqian smiled heartily when he heard this.

"How could it be!" Qin Zhengfan said.

We talked all the way, and by the time we got home, it was already dark.

As soon as Qin Zhengfan arrived home, he saw that the ingredients had been prepared, so he waited for him to start work in person, so he took out the secret seasonings one by one and put them on the countertop, and then began to get busy.

Cao Wei opened a hotel, and he used to be a superb cook, so he wanted to show off and make a move, but he saw Qin Zhengfan open the bow left and right, the knife light rose, and the potato slices with the same thickness fell neatly on the cutting board like petals, and then the knife light rose again, and the shredded potatoes with the same thickness had been cut, and Qin Zhengfan's other hand was still shaking the pot.

On the spot, Cao Wei was too frightened to speak.

Qin Jiaqian's family, as well as Huang Xiaozhi and Xie Yanling, were naturally dumbfounded.

Where is this cooking, it's like performing magic acrobatics!

And this is just the beginning, when the smell in the pot wafts out, let alone Qin Jiaqian and others, even Cao Wei, who opened a hotel, didn't know how many hotels he had inspected, and how many delicacies he had eaten, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and his nose twitched vigorously.

In the end, when Qin Zhengfan put eight dishes and one soup, plus a large pot of longevity noodles on the table, except for the beginning when everyone toasted Huang Qiuling and wished her a happy birthday, most of the rest of the time was immersed in concentrating on food, as if he had been hungry for many days, even Huang Qiuling, the birthday star, was no exception.

It wasn't until my stomach finally stretched out that I slowed down.

"Dr. Qin, at your level, the chef of a five-star hotel is not qualified to be your apprentice, and I don't seem to have seen the cooking method of these dishes. Cao Wei finally put down his chopsticks, gave Qin Zhengfan a thumbs up, and praised him sincerely.

"Not only does the food and noodles taste super good, but the big brother's cooking action is also very cool. Qin Zhengyu said with admiration on his face.

Qin Jiaqian and the others also praised one after another, but they praised Qin Zhengfan a little embarrassed.

After a while, Qin Zhengfan looked at Cao Wei and said, "Mr. Cao is right, some of these dishes are lost among the people, and some are lost court cuisines. As for this noodle, it's actually nothing surprising, and surprisingly I have some secret seasonings. ”

"So, these dishes and noodles are so delicious, not only because of your personal skills, but also because a large part of them are lost recipes and your secret seasonings?" Cao Wei's eyes couldn't help but light up suddenly when he heard this, and he looked at the dishes on the table, as if he had seen mountains of gold and silver.

"Do you think if our restaurant can launch these dishes, will the business be booming?" Qin Zhengfan asked with a smile when he saw Cao Wei's eyes shining.

"Fire, of course it can be fire! The key to the restaurant is the dishes, the dishes are delicious, then you don't have to worry about the customers! Dr. Qin, the business you said should be to invest in opening a restaurant, right?" Cao Wei nodded violently when he heard this, and then an incomparably bright smile appeared on his fat face.

Qin Zhengfan's thigh, Cao Wei definitely has to hold it. But Qin Zhengfan's level is too high, Cao Wei is actually still very worried in his heart, for fear that he will not be able to play any role, and sooner or later he will become a dispensable pawn.

But now it's different, Qin Zhengfan's business is obviously a hotel, which is what he is best at, which is what he is best at, how can Cao Wei be unhappy and excited?

"Let's take it one step at a time, I don't want to open a big restaurant all at once, I want to open a few noodle shops first. Qin Zhengfan said.

"How many noodle shops?" Cao Wei couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, obviously a little uncomfortable all of a sudden, Qin Zhengfan, who had said that he would invest tens of millions of dollars in Lansha Town, suddenly became so small that he only invested in a few chain noodle shops.

But soon, Cao Wei seemed to think of something, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and later he even exclaimed: "Dr. Qin wants to open a chain store, right? Although your dishes are delicious, once they are launched, some big hotel chefs only need to eat them a few times, and it is estimated that they will be able to learn them, and once they also launch these dishes, and then publicize them, with their fame, people who don't understand still think that they are the originals, and they are authentic and authentic in their family!"

"But pasta is different, as long as we have the secret seasoning, it is difficult for others to learn it. This noodle is so delicious, once it is opened, it will definitely not worry customers. As long as it can become popular, with this secret seasoning, we can quickly replicate it one by one. ”

"A store may only make a small amount of money, but if it is opened as a chain store and accumulates over time, the profit is quite considerable."

"And with the foundation of the noodle shop, after we make a reputation, we will raise the level to open the chain lock restaurant and push these dishes out, even if some other hotels and restaurants have stolen it, but in the hearts of customers, cooking these dishes, our store is authentic, and people who want to eat authentic will definitely come to our restaurant." ”

"Lao Cao, don't you explain that I'm still confused, why did Zhengfan suddenly become so small, and his net worth of hundreds of millions was only thinking about opening a few noodle shops. If you explain it like this, I will understand that there are so many curves and curves here!" Qin Jiaqian suddenly realized when he heard this.

The others nodded their heads in unison.

"In fact, to open a noodle shop first, in addition to the reasons mentioned by Mr. Cao, there are also some considerations such as personnel. After all, in terms of catering and hotels, we really have experience and can take charge of ourselves for the time being, and Mr. Cao is alone. Start with the noodle shop, the operation is relatively simple, and the investment is small, just enough to try your hand first, and Mr. Cao can just take you, so that you can gradually become familiar with this industry. ”

"Of course, you must also hire professional teachers to give you systematic guidance and teaching, including Mr. Cao. In the future, we will not only open a few stores, but also develop into a global international catering group company, which is definitely different from Mr. Cao's management of a large hotel in a small county. You need to have a more systematic and comprehensive knowledge, and you need to combine theory and practice. We also need to hire some experienced business managers to get involved. It just so happens that we can also start with the noodle shop and slowly cultivate and find some suitable business managers for us. Qin Zhengfan said.

Hearing Qin Zhengfan mention a global international catering group company, Cao Wei and Qin Zhengyu's faces turned red, especially the former, it can be said that the long-term goal mentioned by Qin Zhengfan is actually his dream, but unfortunately his foundation is too thin, and it is impossible to achieve it in this life, but now the opportunity has come.

As for Qin Zhengyu after all, he is still young and full of fighting spirit, Qin Zhengfan described it like this, it is difficult for him not to be excited.

However, Qin Jiaqian, Huang Xiaozhi and Huang Qiuling's expressions were very complicated.

"Zhengfan, your idea is very good, but the second uncle and the second aunt and Zhengyu's uncle are a little old, and they don't have much culture, you asked us to open a chain lock noodle shop, as long as we learn it with our hearts, ask if we don't understand it, we should be able to get started, but what internationalization, what systematic learning, we will definitely not be able to keep up with our mental and physical strength!" Qin Jiaqian smiled bitterly.

"Don't worry, second uncle, after a while, I will prepare some health and health decoctions for you, and then ensure that you are all healthy and energetic like young people in their twenties. Qin Zhengfan said with a smile.

He seized a lot of medicinal herbs during his trip to the South Jungle, and one of them was also a second-grade elixir Flame Frost Fruit Tree.

The branches and leaves of this fruit tree are like flames, but the fruit is extremely frosty, and one yin and one yang are conceived on a tree, if you take some of them and refine them into a decoction, it is definitely an excellent decoction for mortals to strengthen the body and remove the acquired dirt and impurities in the body with almost no side effects.

In addition to the Flame Frost Fruit Tree, the ancestral family also has a Aoki Cloud Fruit.

The Aoki Cloud Mist Fruit is full of vitality and mild medicinal properties, even if Qin Zhengfan fails in alchemy, the remaining dregs can be refined into a decoction for the second uncle to take, which can definitely enhance their vitality.

And as Qin Zhengfan continues to learn cultivation knowledge these days, he also has a lot of experience in how to improve people's bodies.

So more than half a month ago, Qin Zhengfan didn't know how to condition the second uncle's body, and he didn't dare to do it easily, but now he already had a preliminary plan in his heart to condition and change the second uncle's body.

It's just that these things can't be rushed, Qin Zhengfan thinks about waiting for his Taoism to go deeper, and wait for the Aoki Cloud Mist Fruit to ripen, and then put it on the agenda, so that it will be more secure.

After all, Qin Jiaqian is already forty-eight years old, and his vitality has already begun to decline, so everything still needs to be cautious.

"Really?" Qin Jiaqian and the others couldn't help but say with a sudden light in their eyes.

"Of course it's true. Qin Zhengfan said with a smile: "However, at that time, second uncle, you will have no reason to say that you are old and can't keep up with the pace of the times." ”

"Haha, don't worry, your second uncle used to be a top student, but he dropped out of school because his family didn't have the conditions, unlike Zhengyu, this kid is because he is too playful. At that time, the second uncle will definitely be old and strong, and it will scare you. Qin Jiaqian said confidently.

"Dad, when you say that, I'm under so much pressure!" Qin Zhengyu had an exaggerated bitter gourd face.

"Haha!" everyone laughed when they saw this.

After laughing for a while, Qin Zhengfan said with a straight face: "The specific investment project and how to carry out it later, we will discuss it in detail later, and now we will talk about our share distribution." ”

"You can discuss this with Lao Cao, the second uncle and your uncle Xiaozhi don't have much money together, what shares are you talking about, you can just count a few tenths of a share, just remember to pay us more wages." Qin Jiaqian said.
