Chapter 27 Master Lin

The game needs three days to upgrade. When I was free, I suddenly found that I had nothing to do except the game. In the game, I had the life I pursued, the fun of upgrading and the joy of getting good equipment. But now I found that after leaving the game, I could not do anything. Only in the game can I have room to display my "talent", although this "talent" is not worth mentioning at all outside.

I cannot live without games in my life. After thinking about it for a long time, I had to come up with such a certain fact.

Since there are three days of free time, you have to have fun.

The city I live in is the type of newly developed old town, so some ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties are still retained in the old town. However, this kind of building is too popular and too dilapidated, and even cultural relics protection units do not take it seriously.

So, in this way, most old buildings were pushed down, and the replacements were either tall buildings, villas, or ordinary houses... This situation is probably the characteristic of most parts of China today. This makes the city's sky dark and dull, and what I yearn for is the relatively fresh air in the suburbs and the blue sky that can clearly see.

So, during these three days, I planned to go fishing at a fishing ground on the outskirts of the city.

The fishing ground was not very big, only 40,000 to 50,000 square meters; it turned out to be just a small artificial lake in a factory, but it was idle because the factory went bankrupt. Later, a more intelligent businessman took a fancy to the beautiful environment around the factory and bought it. He focused on developing the artificial lake, transformed it into a small fishing ground, and established a tourist resort around him. Men and women in the city rushed to shine in the city.

On weekends, the resort is the most lively because most families choose to go out collectively at this time and have fun in the resort for two days. But for me, there is no weekend problem at all. In addition, these three days happen to be Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, so the resort seems very quiet.

After completing the accommodation procedures, I came to the fishing ground with the fishing rod, bait and bucket specially provided by the resort.

There are only a few people fishing around the fishing ground, but the lake is sparkling, with several small fishing boats rippling back and forth, filled with a breath of life. The whole picture gives people a sense of tranquility and tranquility.

Such a beautiful scenery, but almost no one appreciates it. For example, the guy beside me, with a fishing rod aside, and he was lying on a stone recliner, holding his cell phone in his right hand, whispering there alone, probably chatting with his girlfriend; across this guy, about 30 meters away, an old man with white hair was leisurely looking at a thread-coated ancient book, and smiled when he saw the wonderful things, and would shake his head from time to time.

There was another big man who was even more exaggerated. Every ten seconds, he would sprinkle a handful of bait into the lake, causing half a foot long fish and grass carp to gather to compete for the bait, as if he was "tasting fish".

Has the orthodox fishing been abandoned by everyone? Or have I been too out of society and even this most basic leisure method changed? Looking at the strange behaviors around me, I shook my head and couldn't understand it.

Regardless of others, I catch my own fish. Anyway, I come out to relax. What do I care about so much? This afternoon, I spent the lakeside and the harvest was quite gratifying. There was a grass carp about seven inches long, two groupers, a crayfish and a stone crab the size of a palm. There were special people in the resort to cook the harvest in the fishing grounds for tourists, and of course tourists could also cook their own knives.

Although my cooking skills are OK, based on the principle that the chef does not need to be used for free, I of course chose the former. In the open-air square, the one who cooks for me was an elderly master, about 50 years old. Like most chefs, this "Master Lin" was chubby because she soaked in the kitchen for a long time and probably sucked dozens of kilograms of vegetable oil.

Master Lin was very happy about how I could achieve such results. He complained to me while cooking: "Now there are very few people who really come here to fish. You are so patient!"

"Why do you say that?" I have long wondered why everyone is so unfamiliar with fishing.

"Haha, young man, don't be so polite. You, you are not used to it." While speaking, he poured some golden vegetable oil into the pan and said, "Society is getting more and more progressive. Everyone is always busy, and they bring their work habits into leisure, and they are filled with urgency. So everyone has no time to fish. Anyway, there are all kinds of fish in the restaurants in the resort area, so there is no need to bother yourself."

"So that's it." I suddenly realized that this compact living habit is really boring to bring into my heart. In this way, there is no leisure at all!

"So, there are a lot fewer chefs who cook specifically for tourists now. I originally brought 6 people to cook for tourists, but now most of them eat in the restaurant, so I am the only one who stays at my post here, and everyone else has been transferred to the restaurant kitchen." No wonder Master Lin is the only one who hosted the huge open-air square, and it turns out that they have all been transferred.

When Master Lin started cooking grouper, I also started to grill the lobster and stone crab. To be honest, barbecue is my best in the game, and I am very clear about the various steps. I had an idea just now when I looked at the barbecue grill. The part about barbecue in the game is completely designed according to reality, so it should be used outside the game.

Although the barbecue in the game was just a kind of thinking activity, it is not much different now. From the initial awkwardness to the later exquisiteness and skill, I felt great joy. "The World of Domination" is so exciting. It seems that what skills do you want to learn in reality in the future can be just practice it in the game.

On the other hand, Master Lin widened his eyes, looked at me in surprise, and shouted: "Okay, young man, your technique is very proficient! It seems that you are just a chef expert!"

The word "master" made me feel ashamed, and my face turned hot: "Master Lin, don't praise me. I'm just a little interested in this barbecue. In addition, I often barbecue in the game, so..."

"Game?" Master Lin looked at me in confusion and said in confusion: "What does the game have to do with barbecue?"

I said my game experience in a complete manner, and Master Lin was surprised and his face changed constantly. After a while, Master Lin calmed down and sighed: "It turns out that this game is so magical. You can do business inside. If you open a restaurant inside--"

Speaking of this, Master Lin stopped and looked at me and said, "Young man, how about I discuss with you?"

"Of course." I vaguely guessed what he was going to say below after hearing what Master Lin said.

"Oh, by the way. Let's introduce myself first. My name is Lin Wanshan. Everyone usually calls me Master Lin. The main reason is that I am older." Master Lin said happily.

"My name is Mo Sui, Cuttlefish's Mo, Sui Master Lin of the Sui Dynasty, you can call me nickname - Moshui." I also introduced myself.

"Moshui? Your name is really interesting. It would be better for me to call you Xiao Mo." Master Lin put away his smile and said seriously: "Xiao Mo, I suddenly thought that if I brought the real cooking skills to the game, it would definitely have a good development."

Speaking of this, Master Lin stopped to see my reaction, and I nodded, and the guess in my heart became more and more obvious.

With my approval, Master Lin happily continued: "Then my idea is to open a store in the game and be the boss by yourself. But after hearing what you say, what else does it take to open a store? It's about reputation, and now you are the only one who can open a store, so I want to cooperate with you, you provide the store, and I provide technology, profits are 50% shared. What do you think?"

I thought about it for a little while and found that this plan is very feasible. Because players can understand skills by themselves, this should be easy for Master Lin, an experienced chef. After all, while the game pursues reality, it also brings some rules in reality into the game. Just like I refine medicine, good medicinal materials and reasonable formulas can be used to refine new medicines.

The same is true for cooking. With countless recipes in reality, and Master Lin’s rich experience, it is not a problem to make new dishes. The key is to take up the job as soon as possible and increase proficiency. If I were led by the former, I would soon reach level 10; after taking up the job, as long as Master Lin continues to practice skills and comprehend the recipe himself, his proficiency will soon increase.

Therefore, this plan has a great chance of success. As long as you improve your chef's skills as soon as possible before others' reputation reaches 100,000, it will be easy to gain fame, not to mention that I, the number one store in Pangu City, is the foundation.

After thinking it through, I looked at Master Lin with a serious face and said, "Master Lin, the solution you mentioned is very fully realized to a large extent. However, there are also many problems."

"Oh, then tell me, after all, I don't understand the game at all." Master Lin looked humble and thought that he listened to the teachings. I felt very funny.

I coughed and said, "The first question is that if you enter the game, it will take a long time to go online, so you need to quit your job in the resort-"

"No problem." Master Lin waved his hand and said, "I have no future for development here. The chef in the restaurant has some conflicts with me, so I was sent here. If it weren't for the hard work now, I would have quit a job long time ago. So this problem did not exist at all!"

"Okay, the second question. At present, my store is a grocery store, which is a store that sells everything, just like a department store. If you want to open a tavern, you need to buy another store again. My consideration is like this. There are two solutions. One is that we each pay half of the money. I provide the reputation of opening a store. Master Lin provides cooking skills. The future profit sharing is 73 cents, and you are 73 cents, and you are 73 cents. Second, I pay all the money for opening a store, just think that I hire you Master Lin, and the profit sharing is 55 cents. Of course, if the store is upgraded in the future, we will pay half of each of the costs of any plan."

As the saying goes, "Brothers settle accounts clearly", not to mention that Master Lin and I are just a first-time meeting now, but as the saying goes, know people and don't know each other. Some brothers who have a very good relationship on weekdays have a big fight in the end because of interest issues. Although Master Lin's temperament is not that kind of person, it is better to explain it clearly now than to have disputes in the future.

After hearing what I said, Master Lin lowered his head and thought for a while, and asked, “How much does it cost to open a store?”

"It costs about 1,000 RMB, and the exchange rate has not been officially announced yet."

After hearing this, Master Lin's eyes lit up and said happily: "I can still afford this little money. Let's choose the second solution."

"So, the third question. If, I mean, Master Lin, your cooking skills cannot be used in the game or your cooking skills in the game are not very high for other reasons, then-" I don't know how to speak at this point.

"Haha, Xiao Mo. You can be completely relieved of this. Old man, I am not the kind of person who can't stand the blow. If I fail in the game, I can do other professions; let alone even if you, who don't know how to cook, can learn barbecue, how could I fail? I am very confident in myself." Looking at Master Lin's expression, I really look confident. Think about it, even me can do it, how can an expert figure like Master Lin not do it?

"Then there is no problem." I suddenly patted my head and added: "By the way, there is another thing, that is, Master Lin, you can buy a game helmet first. The cheapest helmet costs 20,000 yuan."

“20,000 RMB?”

Master Lin was a little stunned after hearing this. A helmet costs such a high price? His monthly salary is only a little over 3,000 yuan. In addition, his granddaughter is in school and it costs a lot, so his deposit in the bank is only a little over 20,000 yuan. Otherwise, he would not have heard that he could make money in the game and impulsively wanted to cooperate with this young man.

If the store fee of about 8,000 yuan was removed, I could not pay for the game helmet at all. Thinking of this, Master Lin's eyes showed a look of embarrassment.

Seeing the expression on Master Lin’s face, I knew that he probably had financial difficulties, otherwise he would never be able to afford a gaming helmet. After all, with a legitimate job, he would never be able to afford a gaming helmet with years of savings, unless he had financial difficulties. This indirectly confirmed the reason why Master Lin was eager to cooperate with me.

"Well, that Master Lin." I hesitated for a moment and then said, "It's better to do this. If you are inconvenient at hand now, I will pay for the game helmet for you first. After our restaurant makes money in the future, we will deduct it from your dividends. What do you think?"

"Ah--" Maybe I couldn't believe that there was such a good thing, Master Lin opened his mouth and closed it for a while.

In fact, I was also very surprised by my impulse. In my opinion, every family has a difficult sutra, which is normal. I am no longer a innocent, kind and carefree little boy, and I don’t have so many kind-hearted beggars on the roadside with all their hands and feet, because they have lost the most basic dignity of being a human being. I despise these people who won for nothing, even though I almost became one of them back then.

But facing this Master Lin who had known him for less than a day, I couldn't help but feel a sense of intimacy; this sense of intimacy made me easily agree to his cooperation plan, and once again generously expressed my willingness to temporarily pay for the game helmet for him.

"Thank you so much, Xiao Mo." Master Lin glanced at me deeply, with gratitude in his eyes.

In the next two days, I enjoyed my leisure time with ease and joy, fishing, listening to music, or chatting with Master Lin who is also free. Now I eat delicious food carefully cooked by Master Lin at every meal. Of course, I cannot do without showing my own barbecue skills and learned a lot of cooking skills from Master Lin.

These three days can be said to be the most relaxed and leisurely day since I became a professional player. Maybe it was because I handed over to Master Lin, a very friendly old man.

Note 1: The chef's primary skill "barbecue" is a variety of meats; while "conditioning" only provides a few ordinary recipes, such as one of which is to steam and cook meat and related ingredients together. In reality, stir-frying and frying are all intermediate skills of the chef; even the intermediate skills are just a few recipes.
