"Golden needles?!"
Fu Wan was shocked, and Qin Fu noticed something amiss. "What, are you interested?"
Fu Wan smiled calmly, "I am indeed a little interested, Brother Qin. What do those gold needles look like? Do you know where they come from?"
Qin Fu tried hard to recall, "I didn't look closely, but it should have been left by someone's ancestors, and they brought it to be auctioned off because they were short of money."
Oh dear, you know perfectly well that the capital city is only so big; a single brick falling from it could hit several members of the imperial family.
That thing doesn't belong to those people, it's...
Qin Fu paused for two seconds, then lowered his voice and said, "It was taken from those bastards who used a pretext to confiscate our property a few years ago."
That makes sense, Fu Wan thought.
Those scoundrels who confiscated property under the guise of justice in previous years, how could they not pocket the good stuff if they found it?
They probably waited until the storm had passed and then ran into trouble and needed money, so they secretly put it up for auction.
"If you're interested, why don't you skip going back this time and come to the capital with me in a few days?"
Qin Fu immediately extended an invitation, "Third Master has been talking about you too, he'll definitely be happy if you come over!"
"Haha, it seems I have no choice but to go."
Fu Wan smiled and said that she had originally planned to go to the capital, but she did not expect to encounter the golden needle that was about to be auctioned off.
Bai Qianzhou said she would hand over the golden needles she retrieved from the sea last time, so surely she can keep the ones auctioned this time.
Oh dear, I wonder if selling the gold bricks will be enough. If not, she might as well take a few gold bars and have someone make a pair of gold needles.
As Fu Wan pondered this, Qi Sheng listened quietly without interrupting while she spoke to Qin Fu.
In a way, Fu Wan could be considered his client.
After all, Qin Fu had told him more than once that the real boss behind the project they were working on was Fu Wan.
The wages of their construction team were also paid by Qin Fu on behalf of Fu Wan.
Seeing that Fu Wan and Qin Fu had stopped, he quickly stood up and poured tea for them.
"Comrade Xiao Fu, I'll call you that too. I wonder what kind of houses you plan to build in Shanghai?"
Fu Wan shook her head, "It's not certain yet. What I want to build is a commercial and residential economic zone, which needs to be urbanized enough."
I already told Brother Qin about this. By the way, where's that architectural designer? Didn't you bring him along, Brother Qin?
He was the key figure in this trip, and Fu Wan planned to take him to Pudong to see if he had any planning ideas.
"Ugh, don't even mention it. We drove here, and that kid got carsick like a weakling, throwing up the whole way. He's still not recovered and is sleeping at the hotel!"
Qin Fu couldn't help but complain. This guy had vomited on his brand new car, making it smell sour and foul.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have had Fu Wan take a taxi; he would have gone to pick her up himself.
Fu Wan felt deeply sympathetic upon hearing this. Motion sickness is quite common, but the journey from Beijing to Shanghai is not short. She wondered how that person was doing after vomiting all the way.
As they were talking, the food gradually arrived.
Qin Fu hurriedly greeted them, "Come, come, this is a restaurant recommended by my friend. He said their seafood is the best in the whole of Shanghai."
You guys should try it and see how it is!
Qin Fu put in so much effort, Fu Wan couldn't let him down.
He immediately picked up a piece of grouper with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
The grouper meat is tender and melts in your mouth, but the taste of this dish seems somewhat familiar.
"Hey, I have to say, the fish and shrimp are pretty good. They're comparable to the food at Jinlai Restaurant back home."
Fu Ming swallowed the fish in his mouth and couldn't help but praise it. After saying that, he was afraid that Qin Fu and Qi Sheng would not know the origin of Jinlai Restaurant.
"Jinlai Restaurant is a restaurant in our county, and their cooking is the best I've ever had."
Oh, by the way, it seems that Mr. Sun Youjin is also from Beijing…
Fu Ming paused abruptly as he spoke, and at that moment, Fu Wan also had a guess in her mind.
"Brother Qin, this restaurant of yours wasn't recommended by Sun Youjin, was it?"
Fu Wan turned to look at Qin Fu, who nodded speechlessly, "He recommended him. I heard from Third Master that the Sun family is doing well in Shanghai, so I gave him a call."
"Damn it, so he owns this restaurant!"
Fu Wan couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Ye Lin and Fu Ming couldn't hold back either.
"Hey, this tuna sashimi, could it be the batch we caught when we went out to sea the day before yesterday?"
And then there's the pomfret, ribbonfish, mantis shrimp… Oh my goodness! No wonder these fish looked so familiar! Isn't this the batch of fish that Sun Youjin hauled away from us a few days ago?
Fu Ming counted them one by one, and unsurprisingly, apart from the grouper, all the fish on the table were the species they had caught at sea a few days ago.
When Qi Sheng heard that the fish were caught by Fu Wan and her group at sea, he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.
He had heard Qin Fu mention that Fu Wan had other livelihoods, but he never expected that she was a fisherman.
And it seems like I've learned a lot from listening to it.
Qin Fu was right next to him when he ordered the food. The dishes on this table were not cheap: grouper was 88 yuan, steamed pomfret was 78 yuan, and pan-fried ribbonfish was 68 yuan.
That plate of tuna, which had less than twenty pieces in total, cost around 128.
This meal cost approximately 1,600 to 1,700.
Goodness, how much money must Fu Wan and her group have made from that one trip to sea!
Qin Fu's face turned green. "That son of a bitch Sun Youjin, he's tricking me again! I'm going to call him later and make him give me a discount!"
"Haha, it definitely deserves a discount."
Fu Wan also heard Qi Sheng's mutterings, and now she understood why Sun Youjin spent money on her without batting an eye; it turned out he earned it back this way.
This tuna costs 128 yuan a plate. How many plates would it take to cut up a 20-pound yellowfin tuna?
There's also pan-fried ribbonfish, a plate of ribbonfish that costs less than ten yuan, but it's selling for sixty-eight yuan!
Goodness, compared to that, Jinlai Restaurant in Longhai City is much more affordable!
However, considering that transportation also incurs costs, and that these fish are all very fresh for Fu Wan to eat, it's likely that Sun Youjin will transport them to Shanghai as soon as he buys them.
Although they were sitting in a private room, she had seen what was happening outside when they came in.
The lobby was packed with people, not a single seat was available!
This business is quite good!
Speechless as he was, Qin Fu thought for a moment that these fish were all transported from Longhai City and were caught by Fu Wan's family, so the quality of the meat must be guaranteed.
In addition, the chef at this restaurant was indeed very skilled, so Qin Fu couldn't help but eat three bowls of rice and only put down his chopsticks after finishing all the dishes.
Of course, before settling the bill, he made a call to Sun Youjin without any hesitation. After a sarcastic remark, Sun Youjin wondered how he knew that he owned the restaurant.
Upon hearing that Fu Wan and the others were in Shanghai, and discovering the source of the fish, Sun Youjin was overjoyed and simply gave them a free meal!
