Chapter Thirty-One

Fearing that the shrimp would die on the way, Long Xiaoshan lifted the water tank onto the truck, and the pickup truck shakily drove out of Longyang Village.

When the car returned to Lily Hotel, Shangguan Baihe was not present, and it was Su Wan who came to take over. This time, Long Xiaoshan brought over one hundred and seventy-eight shrimp, amounting to more than two hundred pounds.

At the market price of five hundred per pound, the total was one hundred and sixteen thousand. With so much money, Long Xiaoshan found it inconvenient to carry around. Fortunately, there was a bank next to the hotel. He opened a card, and the hotel transferred the money into it.

Pocketing the card, Long Xiaoshan was quite excited.

This was the first time he had made so much money.

Although one hundred and sixteen thousand may not be much for many people in big cities, for Long Xiaoshan, who came from a small farmer's background, it was his first pot of gold. Moreover, with the Jade Purifying Bottle in hand, which was a treasure basin, this one hundred and sixteen thousand was just the beginning.

A flame burned in his heart, he was determined to earn a lot of money and create a vast empire belonging to Long Xiaoshan.

One day, he would return to Yanjing. The person who falsely accused him and got him imprisoned used to be out of his reach, an heir to a major family in Yanjing. He went from a promising Shuimu University student to a reformed laborer. Had it not been for a fortunate turn of events, he would have been killed in Lingxi Prison. Perhaps that person had long forgotten about him, a mere ant, but he would not forget. One day, he would go to Yanjing to return what had been done to him over the years and show him that even a small farmer shouldn't be trampled upon and humiliated.

"Xiaoshan, it's almost noon, let's have lunch together, call little Ling too." After the transaction, Su Wan called out to Long Xiaoshan.

"Sure, Sister Su, I was actually thinking of inviting you to lunch. You've been a great help to me." Long Xiaoshan quickly said, grateful to Su Wan. Without her connections, he wouldn't have been able to open up sales channels so quickly or sign a contract with Lily Hotel.

"Oh, you just made a tidy sum, so I won't be shy about it. What kind of grand meal are you planning to treat me to?" Su Wan smiled.

"Let's go to the cafe opposite, I think they have Western food there," Long Xiaoshan suggested.

Su Wan frowned slightly, "Why eat there? You're not really trying to save a little money, are you? The owner said last time that your meal would be on the house."

Long Xiaoshan scratched his head, "No, I was planning to go there anyway. I promised to get medicine for Yin Yin last time, so I thought we might as well eat there."

"'Sister Yin', you're quite affectionate with the way you address her." Su Wan's tone contained a hint of jealousy.

"No, it's not like that, we can eat somewhere else." Hearing Su Wan's displeasure, Long Xiaoshan changed his suggestion.

"Forget it, the steak there is decent too. Let's just go there. I'll go call little Ling," Su Wan said, clacking away in her high heels.

After a while, Su Wan came down with Long Xiaoling.

"Brother!" Long Xiaoling flung herself at him, rushing into Long Xiaoshan's arms.

Dressed in the hotel uniform, Long Xiaoling looked pure and lovely. Long Xiaoshan chided, scratching her nose, "You're quite grown up now, don't make people laugh."

Long Xiaoling stuck out her tongue, momentarily forgetting that Su Wan was still present.

Su Wan said with a laugh, "I'm envious, I wish I had a brother to protect me. But I'm the eldest at home, I always have to be the one to take charge."

"Sister Wan could get a boyfriend," Long Xiaoling giggled.

"What do I need a boyfriend for when I can live comfortably on my own?" Su Wan retorted, but a trace of sadness flickered in her eyes.

The three of them walked out.

Chen Gang, who was on patrol, saw Su Wan walking with that rural man again, his annoyance flaring. Long Xiaoshan, this rural man, showed up at the Lily Hotel every day, as if there was something fishy going on, and he was determined to get to the bottom of it.

He crossed the street to the Yinmeng Cafe.

"Oh, my dear Xiaoshan, you've finally arrived." Zhang Yin, dressed in a blue dress, was sexy and enchanting, always wearing her neckline very low, which made Long Xiaoshan somewhat dizzy.

"Manager Su, having dinner with Xiaoshan again? Could it be that you two..."

Zhang Yin said with a meaningful expression.

"No, that's not it, Sister Yin Yin, Xiaoshan is an important client for our hotel," Su Wan refuted.

"That's impressive," surprise flashed in Zhang Yin's eyes as she said, "Brother Xiaoshan is truly accomplished at such a young age, to actually do business with the Lily Hotel."

"An important client? Manager Su is just being kind, I just deliver some homegrown vegetables to the hotel," Long Xiaoshan changed the subject and said, "Sister Yin Yin, I've brought some medicine this time."

Long Xiaoshan took out two packets of herbs from his bag: "One of these is Qianjin Powder, for regulating your menstrual cycle, and the other is Tongluo Pills, for your headaches. How to take them is all written inside, just follow the instructions and I guarantee they will work after you finish them."

Zhang Yin had experienced Long Xiaoshan's medical skills firsthand, after last time's acupuncture, her headaches never recurred. Taking the medicine, she said, "Brother Xiaoshan, you've cured my chronic condition, I don't even know how to thank you. How much for these medicines?"

"No need for money, I picked these herbs myself from the mountains, they're not worth much. Just, if you have any friends who are ill, you could introduce them to me, I also practice traditional Chinese medicine on the side. But let me be clear, I don't have any medical license, it's all ancestral knowledge, I'm just a barefoot doctor," Long Xiaoshan explained.

Making money from treating people was secondary to him, what he really wanted was to accumulate merit. Zhang Yin ran a coffee shop and obviously had a knack for socializing; therefore, Long Xiaoshan focused his attention on her. After all, it's difficult to establish a reputation in healing without a license or word of mouth, especially when he looked so young.

Zhang Yin was an excellent breakthrough.

"No problem, Brother Xiaoshan, your medical skills are much better than those licensed doctors. Don't worry, I'll definitely refer people to you," Zhang Yin pinched his chest, the firm touch causing her heart to flutter once again.

"I'll go sort something out for you. I've recently invited some classmates from RB and had some Kobe beef air-shipped over. It was hard to get, and I'm so reluctant to sell it. I only served it to the Director of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce when he came over. I'll get you a few portions."

Zhang Yin went to arrange things.

"To think there's Kobe beef, we are in for a treat," Su Wan's eyes lit up as she spoke.

"Sister little Wan, what's Kobe beef, is it famous?" Little Ling asked.

"Kobe beef comes from the black Tajima cattle breed in ShenH County, RB. It was once rated by America as one of the 'world's nine most premium foods.' Only around 4,000 kilograms of this quality beef are produced a year. I only got to try it once when I was vacationing in RB with the chairman. This beef costs at least three or four hundred RMB per half kilo, and the expensive pieces can be thousands of RMB per half kilo. I didn't expect Sister Yin Yin to get such high-end ingredients," Su Wan explained.

While they were talking,

three fragrant pieces of grilled beef were served.

Having just heard Su Wan's introduction, Long Xiaoshan was also very curious and cut a piece to put in his mouth. The tender, resilient texture and the rich aroma instantly filled his mouth.

"This beef is so delicious," Little Ling had never even eaten ordinary beef before, so tasting such high-end beef almost made her bite her tongue in delight.

After trying a piece herself, Su Wan said, "It is indeed good, but this must be just regular Kobe beef. The A5-grade Kobe beef I had last time was much more delicious than this. However, a single steak of that kind costs three thousand RMB."

Long Xiaoshan was taken aback.

A steak that costs three thousand, that was even more expensive than his Spirit Shrimp.

He wondered if raising cattle with Spiritual Liquid would rival Kobe beef as he mused inwardly.
