Ranch Story: Start Over

Making good use of the influence of your parents can bring convenience to yourself

Feng Ling walked slowly along the tree-lined belt at the side of the street. There were many residential houses on both sides of the road. What was different from before his rebirth was that the mineral town here not only had Chinese-style buildings, but also many European-style buildings.

Looking at the exterior designs of many small villas, and having seen reinforced concrete on the construction site for so long, I now feel an indescribable comfort when I see these exquisite villas.

Feng Ling touched the fence at the door and found that it was also made of towering wood.

"Hello, is anyone there?"

Feng Ling rang the bells on the fence gates at the doors one by one, but no one responded.

Until Feng Ling saw a big sign:

Udall Cottage.

"Hmm? This is Grandpa Muqi's house."

Looking at the time, it was already half past one in the afternoon. Feng Ling hurriedly rang the bell and shouted:

"Grandpa Muqi, are you home?"

"Grandpa Muchi!"

"Grandpa Muqi, I want to buy a cow!"

"You're just bragging."

Grandpa Mu Qi replied jokingly and walked out.

"What's wrong, Feng boy, why do you have time to come to my place."

"Oh, sorry Grandpa Mu Qi, there is no money at home, I came to the town to sell mountain products."

"What kind of mountain products are these? Let me see."

Mu Qi didn't hesitate and said directly that he wanted to see it, as if the price was not an issue.

Feng Ling put down the big backpack on his back and showed the bamboo shoots inside to Mu Qi.

"The color and luster of this bamboo shoot look good. It looks very fresh. Did you dig it up from the mountain today?"

"Yes, I have been in Nanshan all morning. The products there are so abundant. I don't have that much money on hand right now, so I thought of digging bamboo shoots and selling them to buy some seeds from the seed store."

After listening to Feng Ling's idea, Mu Qi nodded in appreciation.

"You want to sell them to the place that offers the highest purchase price, right?"

"You are so smart, you deserve this."

Feng Ling quickly raised his thumbs up, no matter how many holes there are, flattery will never fail.

Grandpa Mu Qi stroked his beard proudly:

"Go north and keep going along this road until you see the largest Chinese-style restaurant. They often buy fresh mountain products. If you have so many bamboo shoots, you can make a small profit.

"Ah, I've been looking for it for a long time and thought I was lost. It turns out the place is not far away. Thank you so much, Grandpa Muchi."

"Pay attention to their business hours. Luckily you came after 1:30 today. If you came earlier, I might have been taking a nap and wouldn't have heard you calling me."

Mu Qi waved his hand, signaling Feng Ling to set off. Feng Ling did not hesitate and directly put all the bamboo shoots back into the big backpack, then said goodbye to Mu Qi and continued on his way.

Finally, after spending nearly two hours, Feng Ling finally found Dart Restaurant.

Feng Ling wiped his eyes when he saw the magnificent hotel in front of him. What’s going on? Is it so luxurious?

Unlike the shabby little hotel in my memory, the fountain at the entrance of the Dart Restaurant has 12 statues, representing the twelve zodiac signs. And under each sign there is a golden carp sculpture spraying water at the statue of Venus in the center of the fountain pool.

Dart Restaurant is worthy of being the most luxurious hotel in Mineral Town. The hotel itself is 5 stories high. Considering the common height of 2 to 3 stories in the other world, Dart Restaurant has become a landmark building.

Looking at Feng Ling's regional map again, the familiar prompt finally appeared at the current location:

You have discovered Dart's hotel. Due to the massive outflow of population, the other hotel is losing money. Are you interested in starting a business together?

Feng Ling curled his lips at the prompt, this was obviously a trick, but if he followed the pattern in his memory, Feng Ling found that with his cooking skills, he could really consider becoming a chef here to earn some extra money.

He did what he said and did the important work first. Feng Ling walked around the fountain waterfall, passed the small garden between the pavilions and towers, and finally reached the kitchen.

At this time, Dart, the hotel owner who serves as both store manager and head chef, was giving his employees a lecture and seemed to be getting ready to go off work.

"Uncle Dart! Uncle Dart!"

"?"

Hearing someone calling the boss, the apprentices turned to look at Feng Ling. A handsome and strong young man appeared in front of everyone. He wore a sun hat and carried a large backpack on his back. He walked in front of everyone under the scorching sun.

Dart narrowed his eyes. The young man in front of him looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was after thinking for a long time.

He asked:

"Young man, who are you? I don't have any impression of you."

Feng Ling smiled shyly:

"Uncle Dart, I'm Feng Ling, Feng Qingyang's grandson. Do you still remember me?"

"? Feng Qingyang's grandson, that young man?

I didn't expect you to be this big. What a rare guest. What happened? I haven't seen you for so many years. What brings you here? "

As for Feng Qingyang, although the hero has grown old, in the eyes of the residents of Mineral Town, it is because of his existence that Mineral Town has its past glory. Even though he is no longer able to do well now, everyone still respects him.

Feng Ling took out his mountain products from his backpack carelessly. He knew that the other party would be willing to accept his mountain products just for the sake of his grandfather, but now, Feng Ling also wanted to recommend himself.

"Uncle Dart, I just came back to Mineral Town recently, but due to an accident, I have no money left. Look, these are some mountain products I collected in Nanshan today. Name a price and see if you can take them."

Dart walked up to Feng Ling, squatted down and carefully looked at Feng Ling's harvest. After taking a look, he really saw some clues.

"Not bad, Feng Ling. Your excavation skills are superb. The damage to these bamboo shoots is almost zero. Very good. I accept them all."

Dart agreed readily and counted the number of bamboo shoots, 20 in total.

"There are 20 of them here, so I'll take them for 400 each, which is 100 more than the market price. What do you think?"

Seeing Dart looking at him with a smile, Feng Ling immediately developed a liking for him. You know, even in the game, this innkeeper was willing to cook delicious food for him. Although it was his daughter's plot, it also showed that Dart loved the whole family.

Dart quickly ordered his apprentice to go to the finance department to withdraw some money, and when the apprentice brought the money, he carefully counted it in front of Feng Ling and handed it to him.

"Make sure you count clearly. Don't look back if you don't have enough."

When someone returns the money to you, the best thing you can do is to count it clearly in front of him. Feng Ling also counted it and found that there was no problem with the amount. Now there was enough money to buy seeds.

Seeing that they were about to go back, Feng Ling immediately volunteered and shouted:

"Uncle Dart, Uncle Dart, are you hiring a chef?"

"Hmm? You can do it?"

Dart was a little surprised, and looked at Feng Ling nodding vigorously with some doubt. After a moment, he had an idea.

The best way to test the other party's ability is to let him test it himself.

"It's not that easy to be my chef, Feng Ling, make me some egg fried rice first, so I can see how good you are."

"Okay uncle, take me to the kitchen and I'll show you my skills."

Feng Ling rubbed his hands and said, "Finally the chance has come. Let me show off my skills."
