Lin Hai and his son left cursing. Lin Hongcheng boasted so much in front of his fiancée, and now he was humiliated. His face looked very ugly.
Fang Yingying asked: "Hongcheng, can our seafood restaurant still be opened?"
Lin Hongcheng looked at Lin Hai.
Lin Hai was silent for a while, "Open it, of course you have to open it!"
Lin Hongcheng said dissatisfiedly: "Dad, we are not really going to go back and kowtow and cry for the dead, are we? If we had known this earlier, we would not have lost a piece of meat if we had just taken a look at it in the first place. Now, we have become a handle in his hand."
Lin Hai was also very angry, he never thought that this wild child who was picked up from a village could really make a name for himself. If he could have expected this day would come, he would have listened to that old man and adopted Lin Jiu, and there wouldn't have been so many troubles today.
“Beep! Beep!”
Lin Hai tilted his head and saw a commercial vehicle parked on the side of the road. The brand of the vehicle was something that people like them would never dare to even think about.
A man in a suit and tie got in and out of the car with a friendly smile, "Hello, everyone. The boss would like to invite Mr. Lin to get in the car and talk."
Lin Hai looked at the car, then at the man in front of him, and his heart became active. Could it be that a big boss knew that he was Lin Jiu's uncle and wanted to discuss a business deal with him? Thinking of this possibility, Lin Hai followed without hesitation.
Lin Hongcheng and Fang Yingying were stopped, and only Lin Hai was allowed to get on the bus.
As soon as Lin Hai got on the car, Liao Tingyue spoke and put a bundle of cash on the armrest. "Tell me about Lin Jiu, from the small to the big, no matter how big or small, I want to know."
Lin Hai's eyes lit up when he saw the money.
Lin Jiu asked the system to help him keep an eye on whether anyone with the surname Liao had sneaked into the store. He didn't know the Liao family, so he wouldn't know if they had sneaked in. Only the Kitchen God System could detect them.
No one from the Liao family came to visit for the whole day, but Jiang Ge came at dinner time.
The first time Jiang Ge went to the second floor to dine, he was deeply shocked by the Forest Restaurant on the second floor. He asked Lin Jiu which decoration company he hired, as he also wanted to open a restaurant of the same style. Lin Jiu told him to give up his fantasy, as his Forest Restaurant could not be copied.
Jiang Ge passed by, in addition to missing the delicious food here, he also wanted to ask Lin Jiu for a favor.
"What favor?" Lin Jiu was the first to remind, "The ingredients from the Magic Fish Shop cannot be shared with you, and the remaining octopus and bluefin cannot be shared with you either."
Jiang Ge: “…”
Does he look so much like a freeloader
Jiang Ge felt a little embarrassed. "I can see that you have the best relationship with A Xu. Your words may be helpful. I want to join A Xu's team 7, but A Xu doesn't want me. He said that I don't have any advantages except running fast. If I go, I will just take up a spot."
Lin Jiu: “…”
Lin Jiu had heard Si Xu say that Jiang Ge refused to join the "Security Department", so why was he eager to join now? Or did he just want to follow Si Xu and go wherever Si Xu went
Lin Jiu asked: "Are there not enough places for Team 7?"
Jiang Ge slammed the table and said, "Of course it's not enough. There are only ten places. Excluding Ah Xu, there are still nine places left. Ah Xu can choose anyone from the entire 'Security Department'. Almost all the existing enhanced people are in the hands of the Lu team. Ah Xu will naturally not compete with the Lu team for people. He chooses quasi-enhanced people and reserves. There are too many people. Everyone wants to join Team Seven, but the number of places is limited."
There are nine places, and if Jiang Ge is accepted, one place will be taken up.
Lin Jiu looked at him strangely, "This is a public matter, it's not something that an outsider like me can say. You have to apply for it yourself."
Si Xu must have his considerations for selecting the person, and Lin Jiu didn't want to interfere with his decision.
Jiang Ge finished his meal dejectedly and decided to go talk to Si Xu again.
Not long after Jiang Ge left, Si Xu came back. Lin Jiu prepared two dinners and ate with Si Xu.
Lin Jiu did not mention Jiang Ge's visit to him, but Si Xu took the initiative to bring it up.
Si Xu's rejection of Jiang Ge was putting pressure on him. If Jiang Ge really wanted to join the "Security Department", he would certainly not be able to do things as he pleases in the future. Jiang Ge was used to being casual and doing things based on his own preferences. If he was allowed to join easily, he might find it boring after a while or want to leave because the training was too hard. The "Security Department" is not a vegetable market. It is impossible for him to leave whenever he wants.
Lin Jiu understood that Si Xu also wanted to give Jiang Ge more time to think it over.
The world is changing, and no one knows what the future will be like. If you want to protect yourself and your family, you have to become stronger.
Lin Jiu didn't see the Liao family on the first day, so he continued to observe on the second day.
As soon as Lin Jiu arrived at the entrance of the store, he saw an old lady with crutches. Her son was supporting her. The old lady was none other than the one who had been eating in a wheelchair two days ago. She had eaten two meals a day for two consecutive days. This was the third day. The old lady could already stand up and walk slowly with crutches. One of her legs was still not very flexible, but half of her face was no longer paralyzed.
There were a lot of people gathered around the old lady, some were taking pictures, some were talking to her. The old lady spoke clearly and had no sequelae of hemiplegia at all. She was very kind and would take pictures if others wanted to. When others asked her how she felt after eating seafood, she answered them one by one.
The old lady ate in the restaurant two days ago, and she was sitting in a wheelchair. Many people saw it. Today she can walk with crutches. If you didn’t see it with your own eyes, no one would believe that the food in the Magic Fish Restaurant is so magical.
The old lady's surname was Fu, and her son took her surname, named Fu Xi.
Fu Ji saw Lin Jiu passing by, whispered a few words to the old lady, asked her to stand still, and then Fu Ji went over to greet Lin Jiu.
Fu Yu stretched out his hand from a distance, "Boss Lin, thank you so much, we never thought my mother could recover like this."
Lin Jiu stretched out his hand and shook hands with him.
Fu Yu held Lin Jiu's hand tightly, and Lin Jiu fully felt his excitement and gratitude.
The system's voice suddenly appeared in my mind.
Host, there is something the system doesn't know whether to say or not.
Lin Jiu: …
Lin Jiu: If you don’t want to talk, you don’t have to keep silent.
This matter has something to do with the host and the male god. I will ask out loud. If the host is willing to pay the magic value, I will tell him.
Lin Jiu: ... Has the current method of cheating magic points become a fishing route
…
If you don’t want to know, forget it. But if someone else poaches you, you’d better not regret it!
Lin Jiu immediately asked: How many magic points
Lin Jiuken wanted to know about things that were related to both him and Si Xu.
Big sale, only 5 magic points are needed.
Lin Jiu: …
Lin Jiu: Goodbye, I won’t ask any more questions.
You have so much mana, why are you still so stingy
Lin Jiu: Magic value should be used where it counts.
Right now, you are at the edge of a knife. Knowing this news will definitely not be a loss for you, nor will it be a loss for your idol. It will also be of great benefit to your country.
Fu Yu was still expressing his gratitude, "If there is anything in the future, Boss Lin, please tell us. We, the Fu family, will never refuse to help if we can."
Lin Jiu: "Don't be so polite, it's just a matter of money and goods."
They paid to eat in the restaurant, and Lin Jiu was responsible for the reception, so it was indeed a matter of money and goods.
Fu Yu said, "I know that Boss Lin knows that pan-fried dragon meat is good for my mother's health, so he sent it to us. We, the Fu family, will remember this kindness."
Come on, what's your decision, host? You can get a boost by spending 5 mana points. You can't buy a loss or a gain. This great opportunity is in front of you. Do you really want to let it slip away
Lin Jiu: …
Lin Jiu: ... Go ahead.
Lin Jiu realized that the matter might be related to Fu Xi in front of him. Seeing how hard the system was lobbying, Lin Jiu already had a vague guess.
5 mana points have been deducted.
The person in front of the host is a Ruta who is in the awakening stage. If he awakens successfully, he will live, and if he fails, he will die. The Ruta people are very loyal, and the host can help him awaken the Ruta bloodline and gain the loyalty of the Ruta people.
Lin Jiu: …
Lin Jiu: …
Lin Jiu: What kind of tribe is the Ruta tribe
The Demon Sea is one of the most intelligent races on land. They are born with two forms, human and beast, and have strong combat power. The Ruta tribe was once favored by the Demon Spirit Tribe, and they dedicated their loyalty to the Demon Spirit Tribe and are the most courageous warriors of the Demon Spirit Tribe. Now a great opportunity is in front of the host, let's see if the host can seize it.
Lin Jiu: …
Is there any reason not to catch it? We must catch it!
only…
Lin Jiu worriedly said: To help him awaken, don’t we need to use gene enhancers
He himself was short of gene enhancers, so how could he be willing to help others
It’s better to have it, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t have it. You can awaken it successfully by feeding it with magic food and magic wine.
Lin Jiu:
The blood of the Demon Sea descendants has become mixed and thin due to long-term intermarriage. It is difficult for them to fully awaken. Moreover, the stronger the racial genes, the more difficult it is to awaken. The Demon Spirit Clan is the most difficult one.
Everything has two sides, there are mediocre and exceptional, there are messy and thin, there are pure and thick. If this kind of people cannot get magic essence replenishment, their bodies will be exhausted and die. This is the case with the male god, and it will be the same with Fu Yu, but it hasn't started yet. Because he has eaten four meals containing magic essence in a row, he is already awakening. The awakening of the Ruta tribe is not as difficult as the magic spirit tribe, and using magic meals can help him awaken.
When Lin Jiu looked at Fu Xi again, his eyes had become different. He really wanted to see what the beast form of the Ruta tribe looked like. He had seen Zang Ye transform into a living bear with his own eyes, so he was very accepting of such things.
Lin Jiu said: "Mr. Fu, are you free after lunch? I want to talk to you about something."
Fu Yu was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately, "When I'm free, I'm free."
Lin Jiu said: "Okay, let's go line up and let the old lady go in and sit down first."
The old lady was leaning on a crutch and couldn't stand very steadily. Lin Jiu felt a little bit sorry for her standing in the cold wind.
Fu Yu thanked him repeatedly and went to tell the old lady.
Today, there are two more part-time waiters, Lin Han and Weng Cheng. Lin Jiu asked them to notify those who have queued for a table and there are elderly people queuing next to them, that they can enter the store and sit down first.
Mrs. Fu originally didn't want the boss to make an exception for her and wanted to decline. However, when she heard that all elderly people could enter the store, she gave up and entered the store with the help of Lin Han. Several other elderly people were also helped into the store.
Lin Jiu went to the kitchen to prepare lunch, and continued to wait for the Liao family to come.
At lunch, Lin Jiu gave Mrs. Fu a special serving of pan-fried pork belly in addition to the set meal. This was good for the old lady's health. Both Fu Jiu and the old lady knew that they were very grateful to Lin Jiu. When they paid, they wanted to include the cost of the pan-fried pork belly in the bill, but Lin Jiu refused to accept it. He said it was a gift, so how could he take money from someone
The Liao family still didn’t hear the Kitchen God system’s reminder for lunch, so they didn’t respond.
After lunch, Lin Jiu asked Weng Cheng and Lin Han to clean up a private room and leave, and took the mother and son of the Fu family, who had deliberately stayed, to the private room.
Lin Jiu looked at the old lady carefully. The old lady's facial features were very three-dimensional. She didn't look like a pure Asian. She might have Western ancestry. Looking at Fu Ji again, there was no trace of mixed-race at all.
Lin Jiu got to the point and asked, "Old Madam, is the bloodline of our Fu family different from that of ordinary people?"
Mrs. Fu kept smiling. When she lowered her eyes to tidy up her clothes, a gloom flashed in her eyes. When she raised her eyes again, she had returned to her amiable look.
"It's a little different. My ancestors came from the West, and my branch has been here for quite some time."
Lin Jiu was surprised. Does that mean there are also Ruta people in the West
Lin Jiu wondered how to start the conversation.
He called the system: If I directly say Ruta tribe, will it be a foul
No, as long as the host does not actively disclose the existence of the system and the magic sea, it will not be considered a violation.
This made Lin Jiu feel relieved.
Lin Jiu: "Does the old lady know the Ruta tribe?"
Lin Jiu's straight ball was so fast and unexpected that the old lady was caught off guard and was stunned. All her expressions could not be hidden and were all exposed in front of Lin Jiu.
On the contrary, Fu Xi had a bewildered look on his face, as if he knew nothing about the Ruta tribe.
The old lady's lips trembled, her old skin shook, and her old eyes stared at Lin Jiu, "You... How do you know this race? Who sent you?!"
