I won 90 million, all I want to do is lie down and relax!

After a brief silence, a buzz of conversation broke out.

Li Jianxiang's eyes instantly lit up with excitement.

Gao Caiyun and Xu Jiehuan looked at Lu Zhaoyang, surprised, but also delighted.

They never expected that Lu Zhaoyang had such a trick up his sleeve, which allowed him to pull off a stunning comeback.

It can only be said that they are in the real estate industry and have developed a habitual way of thinking, so they have never thought about this aspect.

The other agents at the scene were no different; they hadn't even considered Lu Zhaoyang's method.

For Lu Zhaoyang, it was indeed a lucky accident.

It was because of that five hundred yuan from years ago that he trusted Chen Hengxin, an old man he had never met, and that he dared to make the payment so readily.

The other agencies, while looking somewhat dejected, didn't suffer a major blow.

Besides, there are other shops too.

Seeing that there was no hope for this shop, some people have already started doing their homework for their customers.

At this moment, Bai Yunfeng walked up to Lu Zhaoyang and said with a gentle smile, "Congratulations, Mr. Lu, on acquiring this shop."

Lu Zhaoyang smiled faintly: "I'm sorry, Manager Bai, I was in a hurry and I was very rude just now."

"Where, Where"

Bai Yunfeng waved his hand with a smile and said sincerely, "You're right. Since it was already agreed upon in advance, it should be considered as fulfilling the agreement. President Chen values ​​reputation, and you've done me a favor by keeping this rule."

Lu Zhaoyang was surprised that Bai Yunfeng was so easy to talk to.

"This is my business card. We'll sign the agreement later, and we can go over to change the name as early as tomorrow."

Lu Zhaoyang accepted the business card with both hands, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Manager Bai, I'm currently unemployed and don't have a business card at the moment."

Bai Yunfeng was slightly taken aback, somewhat surprised, but didn't take it too seriously.

First of all, Lu Zhaoyang is too young. He spends two million on a shop. Even if he is unemployed, he is definitely not from an ordinary family.

The two parties quickly signed the agreement.

Soon after, other shops were taken over, and Bai Yunfeng went to handle the related matters.

The renaming process went very smoothly.

The next day, the full amount was paid on the spot, and the shop name change was successfully completed.

Not only Lu Zhaoyang, but also five other shops in the same area changed their names.

Among the other buyers, there were two familiar faces who had been competing with the previous day.

The bald boss bought two small shops, while the mature-looking middle-aged man acquired a shop of over 200 square meters, not far from the one Lu Zhaoyang bought.

After the house was registered under a different name, Lu Zhaoyang handed over the remaining matters to Li Jianxiang.

Next, we will begin the intensive renovation process.

Lu Zhaoyang's ideal is to be a hands-off manager.

Besides, Li Jianxiang is much more professional than him in all aspects of the restaurant business.

He would strictly adhere to the initial agreement and would not easily interfere unless Li Jianxiang actively sought him out for work.

……

After two days of peace and quiet, Lu Zhaoyang...

The old man with the dark complexion not only kept his house very clean, but his kitchen was also quite impressive.

Finally, he can seriously think about how to improve his cooking skills.

These past two days he has calmed down, gotten up early every day, and developed a new habit of going to the farmers' market after exercising.

There is a farmers' market near his residence, which opens every morning and offers all kinds of the freshest vegetables.

Early in the morning, many elderly people came to buy fresh vegetables.

Not far away, there is also a poultry and seafood market, which is open all day.

Chicken, duck, fish, and meat—you name it, they had it.

That noon, Lu Zhaoyang took a nap and then strolled to the poultry market as usual.

After circling around for a while, he finally stopped in front of a shop that advertised "free-range chicken" or "local free-range chicken".

A plump young woman, who looked to be in her thirties or not yet forty, was reclining on a deck chair, fast asleep.

"Hey, big sister!"

Lu Zhaoyang shouted.

The eldest sister slowly opened her eyes, saw Lu Zhaoyang, and rubbed her eyes with a smile.

"Handsome young man, you're here again?"

"I'm here again."

Lu Zhaoyang responded loudly.

This wasn't his first time visiting this store.

To be precise, I've visited three times recently.

The story begins when he discovered a large iron stove at the old man's house.

Originally, Lu Zhaoyang was eager to learn how to cook home-style dishes, but when he saw the large iron pot and stove that could hold a big pot for stewing meat, he was shocked.

This gave him a new idea.

So he decided to stew a free-range chicken for his fellow workers as a treat.

However, he was self-aware and knew his own limitations.

Therefore, Lu Zhaoyang spent the last few days collecting instructional videos and studying them diligently.

Moreover, he's not just all talk and no action.

He actually bought two chickens to test the poison on himself and learn from his mistakes.

Now, he is confident that the taste is close to or even better than that of a typical small restaurant.

Today, Lu Zhaoyang greeted Zhang Zhizhong and made an appointment with them to have dinner together after get off work.

"Do you still want one?" the older woman asked directly.

"No, bring two today."

Lu Zhaoyang confidently held up two fingers.

"Alright, shall we just chop it up?"

"Yes, just chop it into pieces."

The older sister deftly grabbed two cleaned free-range chickens from the side, holding one chicken down with one hand and a knife in the other.

With a swift movement of the knife, the cutting board quickly echoed with a rhythmic sound.

"Little brother, do you own a restaurant?"

The older sister was busy with her work but didn't miss the chance to chat with Lu Zhaoyang. She said with a smile, "If you regularly get them from me, and you buy a lot, I'll give you a discount, a real bargain."

Lu Zhaoyang only bought the items three times in total; the timing was probably too similar, which led to the misunderstanding.

However, strictly speaking, it wasn't a misunderstanding. He immediately laughed and said, "Sis, it's not up to me. I'll introduce you to the boss sometime, but it depends on his opinion."

"Okay, you can tell your boss that you can tell the difference just by tasting it. I guarantee that these are pure free-range chickens." The older woman seized the opportunity to promote the product with a cheerful tone.

"Okay, I'll let him try it later," Lu Zhaoyang replied.

Chop the free-range chicken into pieces, soak it in water to remove the blood, put it in a pot of cold water with ginger slices and cooking wine to remove the scum, and then rinse it with warm water and set aside.

Heat a wok, add a little cooking oil, and sauté scallions, ginger, star anise, cinnamon, and dried chili peppers until fragrant.

Although it wasn't my first time doing it, I've already gained some skill.

But after all, this was the first time I had someone come to my home to show off my skills.

Lu Zhaoyang dared not be careless.

After arranging the firewood sticks, I cautiously opened the blogger's tutorial video to humbly learn and reinforce my understanding once again.

"Add light soy sauce for flavor, a little dark soy sauce for color, and salt to taste. Stir-fry evenly..."

While listening to the broadcast, Lu Zhaoyang carefully washed the chicken pieces.
