Chapter 167 Xian Palm Island [6,000-word chapters(1/2)

Cao Wei quickly found a small fishing boat through an acquaintance he met in the town.

Today, the sun is shining brightly and the wind is calm, which is convenient for going to sea.

As the saying goes, looking at the mountain and running to death, but looking at the island is almost the same.

The island seemed to be visible, but it seemed not far from where Qin Zhengfan and the others stood, but in fact it was more than ten kilometers.

The small fishing boat drove for about 40 minutes before taking Qin Zhengfan and others to the island.

The island is called Xianzhang Island.

The reason for this name is that there are five reef islands outside the island that are not suitable for people to live. This island has the largest area and is located in the middle of the five islands that are not suitable for people to live. Looking down from the air, it is like a big palm. Xianzhang Island happens to be a palm, and the five islands outside that are not suitable for people to live are like five fingers of the palm.

It is precisely because of this that the five reef islands are named Daxian Island, Shixian Island, Zhongxian Island, Wuxian Island and Xiaoxian Island.

When Qin Zhengfan just arrived at the five rocky islands around him, his eyes were already flashing with a hint of surprise. When he stepped onto the Immortal Palm Island, he felt even more happy.

This place is not only quiet and undisturbed by the outside world, but what is even more rare is that the spiritual energy here is much richer than that on the beach of Nanlan Bay.

"Master's books record that the inheritance of some major sects on Liuhe Star has formations that can gather spiritual energy. Unfortunately, Master does not understand this aspect and does not have a record collection of records in this aspect. Otherwise, if I set up a spirit gathering array here and practice here every day at midnight and Mao hour, it would be a real fairyland on earth, and the speed of practice would inevitably increase greatly." Qin Zhengfan looked around and felt that the five reef islands on the periphery had a mysterious connection with this immortal palm island, and even extended to the underwater world, as if they were integrated, and they could not help but feel both surprise and regret.

In the middle of Xianzhang Island is a mini mountain range, about sixty or seventy meters high, covering most of the island, lush and green on it, with many birds living in it.

The owner of the small fishing boat told Qin Zhengfan that this mini mountain is called Palm Mountain, which means the Palm Pattern on the Immortal Palm.

Around the foot of the Palm Mountain, dozens of old houses that have mostly collapsed were scattered, as well as some overgrown fields, and some natural depressions and ponds were scattered in the middle of these fields.

"The island is very small and there are no rivers. In the past, villagers could only use these natural ponds and some of their own facilities to store fresh water. These fresh waters are not only used to drink from people and animals, but also used to irrigate the fields. However, because water storage depends on the weather, once drought is encountered, it is a problem for people to irrigate the fields, not to mention watering the fields, even people will drink water."

"This is a problem, and people are sick, children's education, daily necessities, typhoons, etc. are all problems. So sometimes when people see this island from afar, they imagine that the islanders on the island seem to live a leisurely life that is as peaceful as a paradise."

"In fact, we have always struggled with nature for life, and it was actually quite hard to live. Especially for the education of our children, we don't want our later generations to continue to live on this small island like our ancestors, so we all moved one after another." The owner of the small fishing village introduced.

He was also an islander on this Xianzhang Island before.

"Zhengfan, let's forget about it. This island has been completely abandoned now. Just to flatten these collapsed old houses is a considerable amount of work and investment, not to mention the investment in the transformation of the island. Moreover, it is more than ten kilometers away from land. It is really inconvenient to enter and exit. From time to time, you will encounter waves and can't even leave, so this kind of place is suitable for occasional vacations."

"But I really want to take a vacation, there are many places, and the scenery is much more beautiful than here. You can keep changing places. Why spend a lot of money here?" Qin Jiaqian heard the words of the fishing boat owner and looked at the surrounding environment. He thought that it would cost about two million to buy an island, and then the investment in renovation would be at least several million. He couldn't help but frown and persuade him slightly.

"Uncle Second, it's getting late, let's go back." Qin Zhengfan smiled without comment.

He must buy this island, not only this island, but also the five reef islands around him.

But now there is a small fishing boat owner present, so he doesn't have to say much, otherwise once the words spread, the town government will start the price, and then there will be more money.

Qin Zhengfan’s money was not blown by the strong wind, so he was still unwilling to pay for the money he wasted.

"Well, it's really getting late. If you don't rush back, it's probably going to get dark until Cangyun." Qin Jiaqian saw that Qin Zhengfan had just glanced a few times and said he was leaving. He thought he had accepted his suggestion and showed a gratified smile on his face.

So soon the group returned to Lansha Town on a small fishing boat.

After returning to Lansha Town, the group got into the car without stopping.

This time, Qin Zhengfan and Qin Jiaqian were in Cao Wei's car, while Huang Xiaozhi drove the worn-out small van alone.

Originally, according to Qin Zhengfan's intention, the broken car was thrown in Yinyue Shopping Mall first, but Huang Xiaozhi and Qin Jiaqian were reluctant to let it go and insisted on driving back, so Qin Zhengfan had to go with them.

"Mr. Cao, you should know the people from the Lansha Town Government? Let's have an appointment with me another day. I want to talk to them about the purchase of Xianzhang Island and the surrounding five reef islands. There are several plots of land around the Lantian Bay Resort Hotel and Villa Project. I am also interested and want to talk to them." Qin Zhengfan said to Cao Wei who was driving.

Cao Wei's hand holding the steering wheel trembled slightly when he heard this. He thought Qin Zhengfan had given up on Xianzhang Island. Unexpectedly, he was not only interested in Xianzhang Island, but also interested in the five reef islands around it. He was even planning to buy land in Lansha Town.

"Zhengfan, are you really going to buy those islands?" Qin Jiaqian looked surprised. Before Cao Wei could speak, he had already asked.

"Yes, my second uncle, after I graduated from my doctorate, I will find a way to teach at Yongtong University. I will set up my home on Zhangxian Island by then. I have considered all the questions you mentioned before."

"After all, there are few bad weather. As for the distance, it is inconvenient to enter and exit. At most, I will build a helicopter apron at the Lantian Bay Resort Hotel and Villa Project and on the Palm Fairy Island. It should be much more convenient and quick to enter and exit helicopters." Qin Zhengfan replied.

Cao Wei and Qin Jiaqian opened their mouths wide when they heard this, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time. They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that the world and ideas of rich people are really not something that we poor people can imagine. I was still thinking that it would cost a lot of money to buy an island, and it was inconvenient to take a boat to enter and exit the island. As a result, he had already decided to buy a helicopter and enter and exit directly.

"So, you must be ready to buy the Lantian Bay Resort Hotel and Villa Project?" After a while, Qin Jiaqian asked again.

Compared with Lantian Bay Resort and Villa Project, Xianzhang Island is always a small amount of money, and the real big end is still in Lantian Bay Resort and Villa Project.

Not only will it invest about 70 million at once, but it will also invest more in the future.

Even though Qin Jiaqian knew that Qin Zhengfan had more than 300 million cards, according to Qin Zhengfan's method and speed of spending money, Qin Jiaqian was still a little panicked.

"Yes, Uncle Second, I like this place and I also like this place." Qin Zhengfan replied with a positive look.

He once visited almost half of Chu'an City, and only then did he find that the area around Liuhe Mountain is more suitable for practice.

Although he did not look for places suitable for cultivation in Yongtong City, when he was riding through the city and suburbs in his second uncle's small van, the spiritual energy of the world was so thin and turbid that it was even one or two points inferior to Chu'an City.

Now I suddenly saw such a place with relatively rich spiritual energy in Lansha Town, especially the islands on the Palm Fairy Island, which is even more rich in spiritual energy, and those islands seem to extend along the seabed, integrating them.

Qin Zhengfan was almost 100% sure that it was impossible to find a more suitable place for cultivation in Yongtong City than here.

Whether Qin Zhengfan makes money or continues to stay in the world to temper his mind, his biggest purpose is to serve his practice.

Since this place is the most suitable one now, how could Qin Zhengfan let it go?

Not to mention that he has money now, even if he has no money, he will probably find a way to raise money immediately.

"But this requires a lot of money. Even if you have more than 300 million in cash now, at your investment rate..." Qin Jiaqian said with concern.

"More than 300 million!" Cao Wei heard this, his hand holding the steering wheel shook suddenly, and almost had an accident.

Of course he had guessed that Qin Zhengfan was very rich, but he never dreamed that he had more than 300 million in cash in his hands!

"Don't worry, Uncle Second, we have to discuss doing business together when we go back this time. With my unique secret recipe, this business is basically a unique business. As long as there is no problem, I usually make a profit without losing money. Moreover, my cash is actually more than 300 million yuan, which is only part of me, so you don't have to worry. You should know my personality. I have been more conservative and cautious in doing things since I was a child." Seeing Qin Jiaqian's face showing worries, Qin Zhengfan had to pat the back of his hand and continue to reveal some of his family's background.

"More than 300 million?" Qin Jiaqian opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak for a long time.

He thought more than 300 million was already an astronomical figure, but he didn't expect that this was just a part of his nephew's net worth.

As for Cao Wei, he felt that his feet were soft on the accelerator, and then suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself in the face.

"Mr. Cao, what are you doing?" Qin Zhengfan blurted out and asked.

"I want to wake myself up!" Cao Wei replied.

"It's not that exaggerating, Mr. Cao, you are the owner of a big hotel after all." Qin Zhengfan said laughing and crying when he heard this.

"Dr. Qin, no, what big hotel do you want to mention, I just found a crack in the floor to drill. You don't know, you helped me a lot at that time, and I also privately asked my cousin Sun Yu and asked him if he wanted to give you some money to thank you. Fortunately, I didn't take it, otherwise I wouldn't be so funny." Cao Wei said.

"Actually, I didn't have much money at that time, otherwise I wouldn't have watched my second uncle work so hard. I only had this money recently. As for how it can be, you don't need to ask, it's very legal anyway." Qin Zhengfan said.

Cao Wei and Qin Jiaqian grew up again after hearing this, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

After a long time, Qin Jiaqian came to his senses and looked at Qin Zhengfan with a serious face and said, "Zhengfan, do whatever you want in the future, and you don't need to explain to your second uncle. You are a person with great ability, and the second uncle believes in you!"

"Haha, I have some skills, but there are always times when I am negligent. Uncle Second has to remind me if I should remind me." Qin Zhengfan said.

"Haha, then you won't be too long-winded at that time, you're not allowed to think that your second uncle is too long-winded, and you're thinking!" Qin Jiaqian said with a smile when he heard this.

"How could it be!" Qin Zhengfan said.

I was talking all the way, but it was already dark when I got home.

As soon as Qin Zhengfan arrived home, he saw that the ingredients were ready, so he waited for him to start work himself. He took out the secret seasonings one by one and placed them on the countertop, and then started to work hard.

Cao Wei runs a hotel and used to be superb in cooking. He originally wanted to show off and start something, but when he saw Qin Zhengfan arching left and right, the knife lights up, and the potato slices of the same thickness fell neatly on the cutting board like petals. Then the knife light rose again, and the potato shreds of the same thickness had been cut, while Qin Zhengfan's other hand was still shaking the pot.

On the spot, Cao Wei was so scared that he dared not speak.

Qin Jiaqian and Huang Xiaozhi, and Jie Yanling were naturally stunned.

This is not cooking, it’s simply performing magical acrobatics!

And this was just the beginning. Later, the smell in the pot floated out, let alone Qin Jiaqian and others, even Cao Wei, who had visited many hotels and had eaten many delicacies, couldn't help swallowing his saliva and his nose was twitching hard.

Finally, Qin Zhengfan cooked eight dishes and a large pot of longevity noodles and put them on the table. Except for everyone who greeted Huang Qiuling at the beginning and wished her a happy birthday, most of the rest of the time were devoted to dealing with the delicious food, as if she had been hungry for many days, even Huang Qiuling, the birthday star, was no exception.

It was not until my stomach was finally overwhelmed that I slowed down.

"Dr. Qin, at your level, the chefs of five-star hotels are not qualified to be your apprentice. Moreover, I have never seen the cooking methods of these dishes before." Cao Wei finally put down his chopsticks, gave Qin Zhengfan a thumbs up, and exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.

"Not only the taste of the dishes and noodles is super good, but the action of cooking is also very cool." Qin Zhengyu said with admiration.

Qin Jiaqian and others also praised Qin Zhengfan, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

After a while, Qin Zhengfan looked at Cao Wei and said, "Mr. Cao is right. Some of these dishes are lost by the people, and some are lost court dishes. As for this noodles, it is actually nothing surprising. I have some secret seasonings."

"So, these dishes and noodles are so delicious, not only because of your personal skills, but also because they are lost recipes and your secret seasonings?" Cao Wei's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this. He looked at the dishes on the table, as if he had seen mountains of gold and silver.

"Do you think if our restaurant can launch these dishes, will the business become popular?" Qin Zhengfan asked with a smile when he saw Cao Wei's eyes shiny.

"Full, of course it can be hot! The key to a restaurant is the dishes. If the dishes are delicious, then you don't have to worry about customers! Dr. Qin, what you are talking about should be to invest in opening a hotel, right?" Cao Wei nodded suddenly when he heard this, and then an extremely bright smile appeared on his fat face.

Cao Wei must definitely hold on to Qin Zhengfan's thigh. But Qin Zhengfan's level is too high, and Cao Wei is actually very nervous, afraid that he will not be able to play any role and will sooner or later become an optional pawn.

But now it’s different. The business that Qin Zhengfan is going to do is obviously a hotel. For him, that is the area he is best at. How could Cao Wei be unhappy and excited?

"Come on step by step. I didn't want to take it and open a big restaurant. I thought about opening a few pasta restaurants first." Qin Zhengfan said.

"How many pasta shops?" Cao Wei was stunned when he heard this. He was obviously a little uncomfortable with Qin Zhengfan, who had always said he wanted to invest tens of millions or hundreds of millions in Lansha Town, suddenly became so petty and only invested in opening a few chain-locked pasta shops.

But soon, Cao Wei seemed to think of something, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and later he even slapped and said, "Doctor Qin wants to open a chain store? This idea is really wonderful. Although your dishes are delicious, once they are launched, some chefs in the hotel can probably learn it if they eat them a few times. Once they launch these dishes, they will promote them again. With their reputation, those who don't understand think they are the original creators and authenticity of their family!"

"But the pasta is different. As long as we master the secret seasoning, it will be difficult for others to learn. This noodles are so delicious, once they start to be opened, they will definitely not worry about customers. As long as it becomes popular and with this secret seasoning, we can quickly copy it one by one."

"A store may only make small money, but if it is opened as a chain store and accumulates continuously, the profit will be quite considerable."

"And with the foundation of a pasta restaurant, after we gained a reputation, we will raise the level of opening a chain lock restaurant and launch these dishes. Even if some other hotels and restaurants have learned secretly, in the hearts of customers, our restaurant is authentic to cook these dishes. If you want to eat authentic, you will definitely come to our restaurant."
