Chapter 503 Should I Collect the Money?

Five people were cleaning a hall, and they were very fast. After a short while, the whole hall was cleaned up, and there was no trace of the mess it had been in before.

After finishing the work, Li Xiaodong began to think: "Brother Fan, what delicious food should we eat tonight?"

Lin Fan threw the question back to Zhuo Yuanquan: "Today is Brother Quan's birthday, we'll eat whatever Brother Quan says."

The others immediately pestered Zhuo Yuanquan: "Brother Quan, I want to eat braised pork, can you ask Brother Fan to make it?"

"Brother Quan, I want to eat the seafood hotpot. Order this. It's delicious!"

"What is that dish?" It was the first time that Zhuo Yuanquan heard of this dish.

Lin Fan explained: "The seafood hotpot is a large plate filled with more than a dozen kinds of seafood, such as king crabs, sea cucumbers, lobsters, various shellfish, marine fish, turtles, etc. In short, as long as it is seafood, it can be put in."

It is also very simple to make. Just steam the seafood, then place it in a container, and finally pour the secret sauce and special soup on it. At this time, the seafood is already cooked and can be eaten directly.

You can also heat it with an open flame at the bottom like a hot pot. As the temperature slowly rises, the seafood absorbs the flavor of the soup and becomes more flavorful.

This dish is actually a large seafood platter, which looks very domineering and tastes unique. Moreover, Lin Fan and his friends are now on Huahai Island, so it is convenient to buy seafood and the ingredients are fresh. This made them greedy.

Zhuo Yuanquan was very distressed: "I thought about just having hot pot. Otherwise, with so many of us, it would be so tiring for Brother Fan to cook alone. But after hearing what you said, I want to try this seafood hotpot again..."

Lin Fan patted Zhuo Yuanquan on the shoulder: "It's okay, just tell me if you want to eat. I don't have anything else, but I'll treat you to a good meal, no problem!"

Chen Xianwu raised his hand silently.

Lin Fan was speechless. What kind of habit was this? It was all caused by Li Xiaodong! But he still pointed out: "You say."

Chen Xianwu said weakly: "Actually, I can cook too... Maybe not as good as Brother Fan, but I can still help out with cutting vegetables and making side dishes..."

Li Xiaodong's eyes lit up instantly, and he stretched out his arm to hook Chen Xianwu's neck: "Sure, Brother Xian! Good job!"

"Pfft!" Lin Fan was a little bit nervous when Li Xiaodong called him "Brother Xian". Looking at Chen Xianwu who was confused, Lin Fan had something to say in his heart but didn't know how to say it: Brother Xian, you are here! A good man is - ugh! There is a picture!

Silently kicking the images in his mind, Lin Fan assigned tasks to others: "Then let's order a seafood restaurant first, plus a hot pot. Do you want to eat anything else?"

Zhuo Yuanquan shook his head: "I think it's OK. With hot pot here, are you still worried about not having enough to eat?"

At worst, we can just make some more hot pot dishes, and besides, isn’t there a seafood guru here?

The others also shook their heads, saying that one hot pot was enough.

Lin Fan made the decision directly: "Okay, let's eat like this today. Li Xiaodong, you are familiar with this area, so you can take our birthday boy to buy vegetables. Buy whatever he wants to eat. But there is no need to buy green vegetables. I have a lot of them in my backyard, so we can just eat fresh ones."

"Okay!" Li Xiaodong accepted the task.

Lu Bingyang asked: "What about me? What should I do with Gao Yan?"

Lin Fan pointed to the spray box in the corner of the backyard and said, "We just weeded the field, so you can go and apply some fertilizer. I'll prepare the proportions for you in advance, and when the time comes, you just need to spray all the liquid in the spray box. Do you know how to use this thing?"

To be honest, I really don't know how to use it, and this is the first time I've seen this thing.

Lin Fan taught them how to use it: "Look, put it on your back, use your left hand to press the pressure valve of the pesticide box up and down to increase the pressure in the box, hold the spray rod in your right hand towards the seedlings, and spray while walking."

This thing is not difficult. Lin Fan demonstrated it once, and let Lu Bingyang and Gao Yan try it twice. Both of them were able to operate it smoothly. Lin Fan explained the key points of the work: that is, spray evenly, don't spray hard on one place, and make sure that all the seedlings can get fertilizer.

Lu Bingyang and Gao Yan both nodded to indicate that they remembered.

Seeing that everyone else had a job, Chen Xianwu couldn't help but ask, "What about me, Brother Fan?"

Lin Fan said as a matter of course: "Help me! By the way, go to the backyard first and pick the vegetables you want to eat and wash them."

As for the other dishes, let’s wait until Li Xiaodong and Zhuo Yuanquan come back after buying the ingredients.

That's right, Chen Xianwu looked up at the sky: "But Brother Fan, it's only three o'clock in the afternoon, do we have to start preparing dinner now?"

Isn't it a bit too early?

Lin Fan waved his hand to indicate that it didn't matter: "This is how it is here, you'll get used to it. If you think it's too early, I suggest you go back and take a nap for an hour, and it won't be too late to prepare dinner after you wake up."

Given Li Xiaodong's poor sense of direction, Lin Fan felt that it would take at least an hour for him to return after taking Zhuo Yuanquan to buy groceries.

Lu Bingyang's work also takes some time, just enough time for him to take a nap.

And is it too early to start preparing dinner at three o'clock? Not really. I cleaned up, prepared, and dawdled until five o'clock to start eating. It's a normal routine.

Lin·Xianyu·Fan said that in "Longing for the Yard", life is like this! The host said so, so Chen Xianwu naturally followed the local customs and did whatever Lin Fan said.

…

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The tasks Lin Fan assigned to the two teams were simple, and with the cameramen following them, he didn't have to worry about anything happening to them. So Lin Fan went to take a nap with peace of mind, and Chen Xianwu, seeing that there was nothing else to do, also went back to his room to rest.

An hour later, Li Xiaodong returned to the yard with Zhuo Yuanquan and a large amount of food they had purchased.

Lin Fan could hear Li Xiaodong's loud voice calling him from a distance: "Brother Fan! Look what good stuff I bought!"

Lin Fan casually put on a pair of slippers and came out. As soon as he came out, he was surprised by the huge king crab in Li Xiaodong's hand: "Wow! Such a big one, Li Xiaodong, you are really good. This blue king crab is of very good quality! Where did you buy it?"

Lin Fan wanted to give the money for buying vegetables to Li Xiaodong. Although his program did not restrict the guests from spending their own money to buy vegetables, these were obviously not ordinary ingredients, and Lin Fan was still unwilling to let Li Xiaodong pay for them out of his own pocket.

However, Li Xiaodong smiled and said, "It's free."

Lin Fan didn't believe it: "How could you not want money?"

Zhuo Yuanquan explained, "It's not that they don't charge money, but this crab, and the other seafood in the back, such as Australian lobster, champagne crab, and rich shrimp, are all purchased by Li Xiaodong from his own supermarket."

Lin Fan looked at Li Xiaodong in confusion: Is this what I understood?

Li Xiaodong smiled very proudly: "It's like this, I called my dad and asked him what ingredients are better for seafood. Then my dad asked me what I was doing and who wanted to eat it. I told him that it was Brother Fan who had to cook for us."

Then, Boss Li made a phone call and dispatched the best seafood from the supermarket on Huahai Island, which belonged to his own business, and sent it to Li Xiaodong, or rather, to Lin Fan.

Lai Siu-tung said: "Brother Fan, my dad is also your fan! He's treating us to this seafood dinner. He also said that he'll give you a 50% discount when you shop at our supermarket in the future!"

Lin Fan watched the staff in supermarket uniforms unload two large boxes of seafood from the fresh-keeping truck. Looking at the distinctive supermarket logos on their clothes, he wiped his face with sadness: "It turns out that the largest supermarket on Huahai Island is owned by your family."

Li Xiaodong nodded: "Yes, Brother Fan, don't you know? The supermarkets with this logo are all owned by my family. It's just so-so, there are only a few dozen of them in the country."

Lin Fan and Zhuo Yuanquan looked up at the sky in silence: You evil rich second generation, stop showing off, or we will turn against you!

However, should I charge you for this wave of advertising?
