Lin Fan was making scallion pancakes as he asked, "Brother, are you bringing your mom out here for a tour?"
Li Hong Shan was taken aback . "You managed to tell?"
Lin Fan smiled . "I saw you carrying that big bag, so I guessed you were here on a trip . "
Li Hong Shan looked at the backpack that he was carrying and seemed to realize something . "Yeah, I brought my mother out here for a visit . Back then, my mom always wanted to go out to various places to visit but I was holding her up, so now, I bring her out every year to various places to visit . "
"Brother, that's very filial of you . " Lin Fan smiled . However, there was something he didn't say . This person's luck wasn't very good .
Very soon, the ten servings of scallion pancakes had been sold . Some of the townsfolk who didn't manage to buy them were slightly depressed but they didn't feel too bad either . They quite enjoyed the feeling of queuing .
Coming to queue everyday had really made them a bit addicted .
"Alright, brother, it's your turn . I'm not bragging but these scallion pancakes of mine are really good . If you eat it once and you want to eat it again, it won't be so easy," said Lin Fan with a smile .
Li Hong Shan smiled as well . "That's fine . As long as my mom likes it, it's good . "
Lin Fan chuckled and didn't say more . He started moving his hands . His actions were skilled and without delay . Also, this scallion pancake he was making was very big . It was at least 50% bigger than the usual ones he made .
Fraud Tian took a look and exclaimed in his heart . This kid is working hard again .
Thinking about the shop and how they only sold ten servings of scallion pancakes a day, he felt that the money wasn't enough at all .
However, he knew that this kid didn't lack money . When he had gone to Haojiang, he seemed to have earned quite a lot . Moreover, he had received prize money from that Nobel Prize in Medicine .
This kid hadn't said how much it had been but Fraud Tian guessed that it had been about 8 million dollars .
Thinking about that number, Fraud Tian was slightly frightened . This was an amount that he wouldn't be able to earn in his lifetime . How many fortunes must he have told at the bridge to earn that money?
The overwhelming fragrance of the scallion pancakes gradually filled the air .
Lin Fan packaged the scallion pancake . "Alright, it's done . Have a try . "
Li Hong Shan took out 50 dollars and passed it to Lin Fan before receiving the scallion pancakes . "Boss, this serving size is plenty . "
Lin Fan smiled . "That's not all . The taste is even better . "
Seeing the boss brag, Li Hong Shan didn't quite believe him . However, when he had been doing his research on the Internet, every comment he saw had said that this scallion pancake was delicious . That was why he had come here .
He carefully tore a piece off and blew it . When it wasn't too hot, he slowly placed it in front of his mother's mouth .
His mother seemed to have smelled the fragrance and she opened her mouth . Then, she swallowed this piece of scallion pancake .
Suddenly!
What made Li Hong Shan astounded was that his mother let out a wide smile . This was something that was very rare .
"Delicious . "
Although her voice was soft, Li Hong Shan heard it clearly . Then, he turned to Lin Fan . "Boss, this is brilliantly done . "
Lin Fan smiled . "It's good that you're satisfied . Don't be in a hurry . Fraud, bring a chair over . Let this brother have a seat . "'
Fraud Tian was a little surprised . Has this kid gone crazy today? He would never be this nice to other people in the past . However, he didn't think too much and just brought a stool over .
Li Hong Shan thanked him, "Thank you . "
He felt that there were still many good people in the world .
Lin Fan felt that this brother really suited his task requirement . He said with a grin, "I'm going to prepare something . "
Li Hong Shan had no idea what he was doing . He felt that this shop owner was really kind .
He didn't know about Master Lin, because he was usually very busy at work and he wouldn't look at the news much . The only time he would look at the news was before he brought his mother out for a trip, when he would search for a guide on the Internet . Other times, he basically wouldn't touch the computer .
Lin Fan brought a carving knife and a piece of wood over, then moved a stool and sat in front of him . Then, he looked at Li Hong Shan's mother and etched her appearance into his mind . He lowered his head and his fingers started moving at a great speed .
*Whistle*
Fraud Tian watched from the side as he felt that this kid really knew a lot of things . Seeing it personally, he realized that the kid's carving skills were really amazing .
Looking back twenty years ago, even that self-proclaimed Southern Speed Knife King probably hadn't been a tenth as fast as this kid .
It was perverse . It was really perverse . The longer Fraud Tian interacted with him, the greater the pressure he felt .
It seemed that Fraud Tian would have to resign after working for a while more . Otherwise, if he kept on accompanying Lin Fan, he might just receive a shock that might send him to the grave prematurely .
Minutes and seconds passed and Lin Fan finally stopped . He closely compared the carving with the real person, then tweaked it a little bit . A rectangular piece of wood had become a life-like portrait of a person . Even the minor details had been carved into the wood .
Then, he carved his name onto the back .
Lin Fan .
Perfect . All done .
Li Hong Shan hadn't been noticing this . Instead, he was surprised at his mother's appetite . She had actually eaten two-thirds of that big piece of scallion pancake and she still wanted more . This was inconceivable to him .
But he was now even more sure that he hadn't come to the wrong place . Some of the places recommended on the Internet were indeed good .
He hadn't seen his mother enjoy eating something so much in a very, very long time .
That serving of scallion pancake was finished .
Li Hong Shan took out a handkerchief and wiped his mother's mouth . He was very delicate and gentle . Even old men had meticulous hearts .
"Boss, thank you . We should get going," said Li Hong Shan with a smile . He spontaneously carried the chair inside .
"Wait a moment . " Lin Fan smiled and passed him the wooden carving . "This is your first time in Shanghai . It is fate that we met . This is something I just carved . It's a gift for you . See if it looks similar . "
Li Hong Shan was taken aback . When he saw the carving, he was taken aback once again . It was simply too similar . Then, he gasped in shock, "Boss, I can't accept this . I'll pay . "
Lin Fan waved his hand . "No need . It isn't worth much . How much could a piece of wood cost? My craftsmanship is a gift . If you like it, keep it with you . Perhaps it might bring you fortune . A filial person like you has to be joyful and full of luck . Isn't that right?"
Li Hong Shan was in a tough spot . "This…"
Lin Fan smiled . "Take it . It really isn't worth much . If you decline, it would be meaningless . "
"Alright, thank you so much, boss . Oh right, this is a specialty from my hometown . Boss, please take a box to try . " Li Hong Shan opened his backpack and took out a local specialty .
Lin Fan didn't reject it as he immediately took it over . "Alright, I shall try it then .
After sending this mother and son duo off, Lin Fan giggled cheerily as he returned into the shop . He opened the box of local specialties and tried a mouth of it . He couldn't help but smile . "This is really not bad . Everyone, have a try . "
Fraud Tian picked up a piece and placed it in his mouth . "What kind of drugs are you taking, kid? Wealthy people are willing to pay huge sums to buy things from you but you won't sell to them . But with this stranger, you give him that carving without even asking for money . You're way too strange . "
Lin Fan chuckled . "You wouldn't understand even if I told you . This person is pretty good . "
Fraud Tian shook his head . He really didn't understand . If everyone on this planet was like this kid, it would be really hard to communicate with anyone .
