Wang Feng woke up early in the morning and began to prepare the ingredients for cooking. He had learned cooking from his mother before. Although it was not a lot, he knew the basic steps and methods. Sometimes, when his parents were not around, he would cook and eat by himself.
He asked Xue Feng to arrange for people to buy some vegetables and then buy all the condiments. Because it was a different world, the ingredients were a little different. After he roughly distinguished the effects of the condiments from sour and spicy, pepper, and so on, he began to cook.
The first step was to cook the fish. Wang Feng washed the fish clean and cut open the chest. Then, he put the pepper, garlic, and green onions into the fish belly. Of course, these names were not used in this continent, but Wang Feng still called them that. Then, he put oil into the pot and stir-fried the chopped ginger and garlic at low temperature. Then, he poured in a little soy sauce and added a suitable amount of water. He sprinkled green onions. When the water boiled, he put the fish in and added a suitable amount of salt. After an hour, he added some spices and continued to cook. This was called stewing tofu with money and stewing fish with ten thousand yuan. The taste of the fish had to be stewed for a long time to be the most fragrant.
Two hours later, a strong fragrance wafted into the kitchen. Min 'er and Little Green could smell it from afar and ran to the kitchen in surprise.
" Wow, it smells so good. Brother Wang Feng knows how to do this," Little Green exclaimed in surprise.
Wang Feng smiled and then began to prepare other dishes. After four hours, Wang Feng finally made six dishes. One was stewed fish, one was braised pork, one was sauced duck, and one was...
Looking at the dishes on the table, Min 'er and Little Green were almost drooling. Without waiting for Wang Feng to say start, they picked up their chopsticks and started eating. Seeing that the two of them did not care about their ladylike image, Wang Feng couldn't help but laugh." Eat slowly. No one will snatch it."
After a while, the plate was turned upside down. Min 'er didn't eat much because her appetite was small, but Little Green wasn't human. She was very good at eating and had a huge appetite. After she finished eating, she looked at Wang Feng with unsatisfied eyes, waiting for Wang Feng to speak.
Wang Feng smiled." Alright, I'll make it again in the future. I didn't even get to eat today."
Only then did Little Green realize that Wang Feng hadn't eaten a single bite. It said in embarrassment," Big Brother Wang Feng, you have to make more in the future. This taste can't be made in the entire Star Luo Continent."
The Star Luo Continent was not like Earth. Earth's advanced civilization had long since displayed its full prowess in eating. However, since the Star Luo Continent was mainly a cultivation world, it was very simple to eat more.
Wang Feng nodded. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Xue Feng hurriedly walk in and say,"Old Master, something happened at Maple Royal Hall."
Hmm? Wang Feng was surprised." What happened?"
Xue Feng took a deep breath before saying,"Just now, a bunch of ruffians came and insisted that we don't pay protection fees. They demanded that we pay 50,000 taels of silver."
Wang Feng nodded." Just give it to them."
" Master, this doesn't seem right." Xue Feng was surprised by Wang Feng's actions and was extremely puzzled.
Wang Feng smiled." Just do it."
Xue Feng saw that Wang Feng was very calm, so he turned around and left.
Half a day later, Xue Feng suddenly ran back. Wang Feng was greatly surprised. Could it be that something had happened again?
Xue Feng ran up to Wang Feng breathlessly and said angrily," Master, those ruffians are here again. This time, they want to collect a business fee of 100,000 taels of silver."
Wang Feng's face sank. Even if he wanted to eat bones, he had to see if the bones were tough or not. These people were actually so thick-skinned. Did they think that they were easy to provoke? It seemed that if he didn't teach her a lesson, she really wouldn't be able to gain a foothold in Spring City.
" Let's go take a look together." Wang Feng walked over. Behind him, Little Green and Min 'er looked at each other and smiled. Looks like there's going to be a show.
From afar, Wang Feng saw a dozen beggar-like people in ragged clothes standing at the entrance of the shop. Many of them were holding sticks in their hands and blocking the entrance. He did not know what they were shouting about, but it was very noisy.
He strode into the Maple Royal Hall. When the hired waiter saw Wang Feng, he hurriedly pushed aside the scoundrels and squeezed in front of Wang Feng.
"Master, you're here!"
Wang Feng nodded, then looked at this group of rascals. There were so many people, and it seemed like they were not here for a fee. Could it be that they were plotting something?
When the group of rascals saw the waiter suddenly bow to a young man, they knew that this person was the owner of this shop and immediately surrounded him.
"Are you the head of the household?" The leader of the scoundrels asked. He didn't fear Wang Feng's young age. Moreover, there wasn't a person like Wang Feng in Spring City. Of course, Wang Feng couldn't have any background, so his courage grew.
" I am, Wang Mufeng," Wang Feng answered succinctly.
"You're not old. Hmm, tell me where you're from and what your background is.”，The lazy man asked.
Wang Feng smiled. How could he ask people like this? He was obviously worried about whether he had a large faction behind him. He casually asked," I wonder why everyone charged twice?”
" Because we think highly of you. We were entrusted by someone, so we naturally came here to do something," the man with the lazy head said leisurely. There was a hint of pride on his face, as if the person he entrusted was of noble status.
"Who is it?" Wang Feng asked.
The man shook his head." I can't tell you that. You can pay the operating fee now. 100,000 taels. Give me the money." Then, he stretched out a dirty hand.
Wang Feng smiled bitterly. They were all commoners at the lowest level. If he were to fight, it would be a little uncomfortable. He was a cultivator, so it was impossible for him to compete with them.
" I don't have any money. Let your leader come out and speak," Wang Feng said lightly. It was best to find out who had sent these people.
" I'm the boss," the man said." If you don't have money, don't stay here. Otherwise, this shop will belong to us."
Hmm? Wang Feng thought to himself that the person who came or instructed them seemed to be here for this shop.
" Leave quickly. I won't do anything to you. Don't bother me in the future," Wang Feng said with a dark face.
The man glared at him." Don't scare me. We've lived here for half our lives. What kind of people haven't we seen?”
Wang Feng was helpless. It seemed that he had to use force. Thus, he remained calm and collected. Suddenly, the corner of his clothes moved. Those scoundrels instinctively felt a gust of wind blow past, and a shadow flashed past.
However, he realized that the sticks in his hands were gone. He started to search, but he found more than ten sticks scattered on the ground in front of the young man. He was instantly shocked and then afraid. Immortal?
The leader was frightened by Wang Feng. He seemed to have kicked an iron plate.
" Now can you tell me who sent you?" Wang Feng asked with a smile.
The lazy man seemed to still be in a panic. However, when he saw Wang Feng's smile, his heart skipped a beat and his legs went weak. They had seen cultivators before and knew what kind of person they were. He immediately said carefully," I won't say anything about accepting someone's trust and loyalty."
Wang Feng nodded. He didn't expect this rascal to have such integrity. It was one thing to have integrity, but to bully him, he was an idiot.
His face darkened in anger. He flashed in front of the man and lifted him up.
" If you don't tell me, I'll feed you to the snake." Just as Wang Feng finished speaking, Little Green acted as if it was cooperating and released Little Green. The little snake spat out its tongue, and an inexplicable fear enveloped the heart of the deadbeat man. When the other rascals saw this, they were instantly at a loss.
" I, I, I'll talk." The lazy man finally relented. He was still afraid of snakes.
Wang Feng put him down and brought him into the shop.
" You can say it." Wang Feng stared at the man.
Only now did the man realize that the owner of this shop wasn't someone to be trifled with. It was all those old fellows 'fault for digging a trap for him to jump into. In that case, it wasn't his fault.
Gritting his teeth, the deadbeat man said.
"It was Master Dolan who asked us to do this."
"Master Dolan? Who is it?" Wang Feng asked. He didn't seem to have heard of such a person.
" He's the vice president of the Spring City branch of the Watercloud Empire's Weapon Refinery Chamber of Commerce," the man replied.
"What does it have to do with us?"
Seeing that Wang Feng didn't seem to be very familiar with this place, the lazy man spoke.
" Master Dolan is the vice president of Spring City's Chamber of Commerce. I don't know why he's looking for me to collect money. He said that it's best if you sell your shop to us," the deadbeat said.
Wang Feng pondered for a moment. It seemed like Master Dolan was worried about something. Thinking of this, Wang Feng asked,"What else do you know?"
"Last time, you sold a magic tool. I heard that it's in Master Dolan's hands. He's very happy."
Wang Feng nodded. It seemed like Master Dolan was coveting his weapon. Although the Chamber of Commerce was very strong and there were many strong people, it was impossible for an average blacksmith to refine a low-grade magic weapon. This was because most blacksmiths did not have the skills to refine weapons. They could only rely on others to teach them or study on their own.
Some people could never achieve anything in their entire lives. Perhaps Dolan thought that there was some secret recipe in his shop and became greedy.
" There's nothing for you to do this year. You can leave," Wang Feng said.
The deadbeat man shook his head and looked like a scoundrel." I'm not leaving."
"Hmm? " Why?" Wang Feng asked curiously.
" I want to be your disciple. You can be my disciple. You're a god, so I want to be your disciple." After seeing Wang Feng's strength, the deadbeat decided to quit the scoundrel industry.
Wang Feng hesitated for a moment. He wasn't familiar with this place, so he should have his own network. This person was a local ruffian, so he was naturally familiar with this place. Perhaps…
" I can't accept you as my disciple because you're older than me," Wang Feng said lightly.
The lazy man looked at Wang Feng in disappointment. The corners of his mouth moved slightly." Please accept me." Then, he knelt in front of Wang Feng.
"I don't accept disciples, but you can become the butler of our shop. How about it?”，Wang Feng saw that this shameless man was so sincere that he didn't seem to be faking it, so he said.
Although the lazy man was disappointed, he was also a little excited and nodded.
" In the future, Xue Feng will be in charge of the family's affairs, so you will be in charge of the shop's affairs. What's your name?" Wang Feng asked.
"Cai Rang!"
" Alright, Cai Rang, I'll give you the first task," Wang Feng said with narrowed eyes.
" Master, please instruct me," Cai Rang said respectfully.
" Investigate the Chamber of Commerce's background, including everything about him," Wang Feng said with some intention.
