The Mightiest Little Peasant c1-799

by Watermelonian, 西瓜星人

  Magical cuisine had defeated the world’s top chef and won the praise of top food critics and tycoons. Its rise in popularity was to be expected.

  Previously, their opinions had severely criticized magical cuisine, but after the competition, they began to speak highly of it. That was enough to show how amazing magical cuisine was.

  What was even more epic was that the multi-billionaires actually fought over a dish. That gave magical cuisine an aura of mystery.

  It was said that the dish was the ultimate delicacy. Compared to it, caviar and foie gras were nothing.

  Of course, the price was also very expensive. Moreover, it was limited to one serving a day.

  More people flocked to the store the next day. There was a long line outside the main store from the entrance to the end of the street.

  Half of them were foreigners.

  Similar long lines appeared outside of the other branches.

  They were full of praises after tasting magical cuisine. Once they posted their reviews online, the restaurant became even more popular.

  On the third and fourth day, many important people came.

  The Royal Prince of Britannia came. The boss of the Latinian Mafia came. From the Saudian royal family, the first prince, the second prince, … the ninety-ninth prince, and many more princesses came.

  Their fleet of super sports cars of various colors was a spectacular sight to behold.

  Some of the people were putting on airs.

  They did not want to line up and instead requested Master Chef Tang to attend to them personally so that they could try Fantasy Fish.

  “I’m sorry! If you don’t have an appointment, please line up. What? You don’t want to line up? Who are you? The Prince of Morocco? Ha! Who do you think you are?

  “Look at that person. He’s the Prince of Sweden!

  “Look over there. Who is that? He’s the Prince of Belgium, and behind him is the 11th ranked billionaire on the Forbes List!

  “Can’t you see that all of them are obediently queueing up too? Aren’t you ashamed?”

  The Prince of Morocco and his bodyguards were dumbfounded.

  ‘F*ck! This is too crazy! Why are they all here?’

  They had no choice but to line up.

  Indeed, he was not much when compared to all the other figures in line.

  Those important figures only had praise for magical cuisine after tasting it.

  Their praise also pushed the reputation of magical cuisine to new heights.

  In the international elite circles, magical cuisine became a hot topic. Having tasted magical cuisine, especially Fantasy Fish, became a status symbol and a badge of honor.

  The waiting list for that dish was months long.

  The phenomenon was also widely reported by the Huaxia media, which made the Huaxianese very proud.

  “Magical cuisine is the pride of Huaxia!”

  “Now that there are so many people, it’s more troublesome. We have to queue even longer for food! Why doesn’t Haotian open more branches?”

  In the past few days, other than attending classes, Tang Hao had been at the main store to deal with difficult customers.

  At night, he went into the magatama pocket world to feed the spirit skates and study their habits.

  By using century-old ginseng and lingzhi, the fish grew very fast. After almost half a month, they had already grown twice their size.

  The scales were even brighter.

  The bellies of the female fish grew bigger. It was obvious that they were pregnant, which surprised Tang Hao greatly.

  He began to dig and expand the pond several times bigger and deeper.

  At the same time, he prepared more plantation grounds and planted more ginseng and lingzhi.

  He gathered a few female fish of many different breeds so that he could crossbreed them with male spirit skates.

  A few female fish successfully became pregnant.

  “Looks like I really need to set up a fish farm!”

  He considered raising the spirit skates by himself. However, the hybrid species would not be as good, and they could be raised and sold at more affordable prices.

  He did not have any ideas on where to raise them at the moment. He would have to return to Westridge to find a suitable place.

  One morning, he informed Han Yutong and drove back to Westridge.

  After Han Yutong had a car, the two usually drove separately.

  It was noon when they returned to Westridge. Tang Hao went to pick up Qin Xiangyi and went home.

  After half a month, Qin Xiangyi’s cultivation had increased by a lot.

  “What are you making for lunch, Master Chef?” Qin Xiangyi said mischievously.

  “Even you are teasing me!” Tang Hao said helplessly.

  “Aren’t you the Master Chef? Look, they all call you Master Chef!” Qin Xiangyi took out her phone and flipped through many news articles.

  Tang Hao smiled and said, “Of course we’re eating fish! Let me give you a taste of the popular Fantasy Fish. By the way, how is the construction of the new factory coming along?”

  “The construction is complete, and it’s being renovated now. It should take another month,” Qin Xiangyi said. “I’ve also registered the company. All that’s left is to move there.

  “In the future, I won’t just be processing clothes. I’ll produce my own designs and start my own brand!” Qin Xiangyi said proudly.

  “That’s great!” Tang Hao smiled, feeling genuinely happy for her.

  That had always been Qin Xiangyi’s dream.

  She pursed her lips into a smile and said, “Come, call me President Qin!”

  Tang Hao could not help but laugh, though he called out, “President Qin!”

  “Yes!” She responded, walked over, and kissed Tang Hao on the cheek. “This is your reward. There’s more to come after lunch!”

  Then, she shot a seductive glance at him.

  Tang Hao coughed lightly and tried his best to calm himself down. Only then did he focus on preparing the fish.

  “Wow! It’s really delicious! It’s even better than the snake meat from before!”

  Qin Xiangyi’s eyes lit up after she took a bite.

  She finished three quarters of the fish in no time.

  “Since you like it so much, I’ll keep a few at home before I leave!” Tang Hao said.

  “OK!” She nodded and touched her belly, feeling very satisfied.

  “Now, it’s time for your reward!”

  She smiled charmingly and pulled Tang Hao into the bedroom. After closing the door, she kissed him crazily.

  Soon, soft moans could be heard.

  More than an hour later, the two of them walked out and hurriedly tidied their clothes.

  “Quick, quick, send me to the factory. I have something to do! I almost forgot!” Qin Xiangyi urged.

  After sending her to the factory, Tang Hao rushed to the company to meet Liu Yan.

  Chapter 671 - Haotian Fisheries

  “Fish farm?”

  In the office, Liu Yan was surprised.

  “That’s right! Let’s start a fish farm!” Tang Hao said.

  “Are we breeding that fish?”

  Liu Yan’s eyes lit up.

  Earlier, Chairman Tang had brought a lot of raw Fantasy Fish slices for the higher management. It was extremely popular on the Internet, and it was said that even the royal families from Europe and super-rich tycoons all over the world flocked to Huaxia just to have a taste.

  “It’s not exactly that, but it’s more or less the same. These are cross-bred with other types of fish. The taste isn’t as good.”

  “Isn’t as good? But it’s close enough!”

  Liu Yan was quite excited. “We can breed even more. If we can lower the price for a bigger audience, it’ll definitely be very profitable! It can be one of our major subsidiaries!

  “Director Tang, let’s call it Haotian Fisheries! By the way, where are you going to build the fish farm? Also, do you
have a candidate for the manager?”

  “I haven’t decided yet! I’ll go and take a look this afternoon. As for the manager…”

  Tang Hao sank into thought.

  Suddenly, he thought of someone.

  “What do you think of the assistant manager of Masculine Wind?” Tang Hao asked.

  “Assistant manager? Oh, that’s Ma Fangfang, right?” Liu Yan smiled mischievously. She knew about her. Ma Fangfang was a famous beauty in Haotian Group and was Chairman Tang’s classmate.

  However, she was quite capable, and Manager Lin had looked highly upon her as a promising young talent.

  “She’s not bad. I’ve met her a few times. She can shoulder the heavy responsibility of being a manager.”

  “Since you’ve already acknowledged her, it’s decided then!” Tang Hao said.

  The two of them discussed more specific details after that.

  After leaving the office, Tang Hao took the elevator and arrived at the seventh floor of the building, where Masculine Wind Health Product’s office was located.

  “Chairman Tang!”

  The noisy office suddenly quietened down when he appeared at the office. The employees stood up and greeted him respectfully.

  Soon, Manager Lin was alarmed and hurriedly came out of the manager’s office.

  “Chairman Tang, why are you here?”

  Lin Fuquan walked over and greeted him with a smile.

  “I’m here to poach someone!” Tang Hao said.

  Lin Fuquan was stunned, and the employees pricked up their ears.

  Who could make chairman Tang personally come here to poach them?

  Someone had an idea and glanced at the assistant manager’s office.

  “It must be our Goddess Fangfang. Who else could it be?”

  “No! If she’s taken away, we won’t be able to see her every day!”

  Many male employees wailed.

  Hearing the commotion, Ma Fangfang walked out of her office. She was dressed in professional attire, and her slim figure looked charming.

  “Tang… Chairman Tang!”

  She was visibly stunned when she saw Tang Hao.

  “Let’s talk inside!” Tang Hao looked at the noisy atmosphere around him and brought Lin Fuquan into the assistant manager’s office.

  After closing the door, the three of them sat down.

  “What’s the matter, Chairman Tang?” Ma Fangfang looked at Tang Hao and asked.

  “The group wants to set up a new subsidiary company. I’ve discussed it with President Liu. You’ll be the manager,” Tang Hao said.

  Ma Fangfang was stunned and found it hard to believe. “I… will be the manager?”

  Then, she became a little fearful.

  The managers of Haotian Group’s subsidiary companies were at least in their thirties or forties and had years of experience. She was only twenty, far younger than the others.

  “Um, Chairman Tang…” Her immediate response was to reject the offer.

  Lin Fuquan was also surprised. Then, he stood up, smiled brightly, reached out, and shook her hand.

  “Congratulations, Fangfang! Don’t refuse. I know your ability. You’ll be fine.”

  “But…” Ma Fangfang said hesitantly.

  “Eh, no more excuses! Chairman Tang is giving you a chance! Take it!” Lin Fuquan said.

  “Then… OK! What company is it, Chairman Tang?” She looked at Tang Hao.

  “A fish farm!” Tang Hao said.

  Then, he explained the details to her.

  “In the future, the fish farm will be one of the mainstays of Haotian Group. It’s very important,” Tang Hao said. “Later, you can hand over your work here. From now on, you will be the manager of the new company.

  “Tomorrow, come with me to survey a location. After that, you’ll be responsible for the contract and construction work. Is that OK?”

  “No Problem! Don’t worry, Chairman Tang!” Ma Fangfang said seriously.

  “OK, that’s all for now. See you tomorrow.” After saying that, Tang Hao got up and walked out.

  “Goddess Fangfang has been promoted. She’s going to be a manager!”

  The entire floor was in an uproar as they cheered.

  In the evening, Tang Hao brought Qin Xiangyi to a gathering with Liu Dajun and the others to discuss the fish farm company.

  The next morning, Tang Hao drove to Ma Fangfang’s residence.

  After waiting downstairs for a while, he saw her hurrying downstairs with a book in one hand and a slice of bread in the other.

  She was dressed in office wear as usual: Black stockings and a miniskirt, accentuating her graceful figure and shapely rear.

  She wore light makeup on her face, and her black hair was tied up in a ponytail. She looked very clean and neat.

  “That’s your breakfast?” Tang Hao said in surprise.

  It was a slice of plain white bread.

  She was taken aback. “Yep! What’s wrong with it? I always eat this.”

  “It’s just empty calories! Even stuffed jianbing is more nutritious than that!”

  “I can’t help it! I’ve been very busy. This is the most convenient thing,” Ma Fangfang said. “Now that I’m a manager, I’ll be even busier in the future.”

  As she said that, she showed Tang Hao the book in her hand. It was about aquaculture.

  “I’ve never been in this field before. Now I have to make up for it.”

  Tang Hao could not help but laugh. “You don’t have to work so hard. Take it slow. I’ll teach you how to raise it. That book won’t help you!”

  As he spoke, he took the book in her hand and tossed it into the car.

  “Let’s go! I’ll make you some breakfast. We’ll leave after you’re full!”

  Tang Hao closed the car door and walked upstairs.

  She stood there in a daze. Suddenly, a warm feeling rose in her heart, and she felt quite moved. She pursed her lips into a smile, nodded affirmatively, and followed closely behind.

  “What are you making?”

  “Eggs, fish slices, and fruit juice. That should be enough!”

  After entering the kitchen, Tang Hao got busy.

  She sat at the side and leaned on the table to watch with infatuation in her eyes. From time to time, as if she thought of something, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved up, revealing a hint of a smile.

  “Hao!”

  Right after Tang Hao was done with the eggs, Ma Fangfang stood up and hugged him from behind.

  “Hey!” Tang Hao’s body slightly stiffened.

  “Thank you!”

  “Don’t mention it!” Tang Hao said with a smile.

  She smiled charmingly. “Yep! I’m your little mistress, so there’s nothing to mention.”

  Tang Hao coughed and felt a little awkward.

  The relationship between the two was indeed quite ambiguous. They had intimate contact the last time.

  “Well, let’s eat breakfast first!”

  Tang Hao served the eggs on a plate, cut the fish into slices, and put them on the table.

  Chapter 672 - Raising A Fish

  Tang Hao went to many places that morning.

  He went to various villages and towns to look for a place with many ponds so that he could set up the fish farm.

  There were no ponds in Dragonrock Village or Tang Village, so they were not suitable.

  He also went to Cai Village, but it was equally unsuitable.

  In the afternoon, he found a pond in Jade Town.

  That was the biggest pond he found, and it was surrounded by vast farmland. Beyond that was a mountain range.

  Moreover, Jade Town was not far from Dragonrock Village and the Haotian Health Products factory.

  “This place is not bad!” Tang Hao got out of the car and took Ma Fangfang around the pond.

  “It’s still a little small. We have to buy the entire piece of land and expand it!” Ma Fangfang said, “We have to dig a few more ponds, set up a fence, and all kinds of br
eeding facilities. The scale has to be big.”

  Tang Hao nodded and said, “It’s decided then!”

  He took out his phone and contacted the mayor.

  Tang Hao knew Mayor Wu from a long time ago when Hu Dahai went to Dragonrock Village to cause trouble. Haotian Health Products had dealings with him.

  Soon, Mayor Wu arrived with a group of town officials.

  After hearing Tang Hao’s idea, Mayor Wu’s eyes lit up with excitement.

  “This is a good idea! We’ll definitely support you however we can. You want to dig the pond, right? No problem! As long as the dues are paid, I think the villagers will have no objections.”

  “That decides it. I’ll send someone over tomorrow to discuss and sign the contract,” said Tang Hao.

  “OK!”

  After the negotiations, Tang Hao called the survey team to chart the terrain.

  After work, he sent Ma Fangfang home. It was already past four in the afternoon.

  “It’s still early! Can you stay with me a little longer?”

  She looked at Tang Hao and said reluctantly.

  “I’ll just sit for a bit!” Tang Hao hesitated for a moment and said.

  She smiled mischievously and said, “What else can I do! Don’t tell me… you want to eat me?”

  Tang Hao instantly became embarrassed.

  “I don’t mind that though!” She smiled coyly and winked at him. Then, she opened the door and walked inside.

  “I’m going to take a shower!”

  Once inside the apartment, she bent over in front of Tang Hao to remove her stockings. Then, she carefully unbuttoned her coat.

  Her coat fell on the floor.

  Her back was facing him. Her movements were deliberately slow, but they were full of temptation. The setting sun shone through the window and on her body, as though covering her with a golden aura.

  This scene was as beautiful as a painting.

  Tang Hao was stunned.

  Taking off her shirt, she turned around and smiled alluringly.

  Then, she slowly walked into the bathroom.

  Soon, the sound of running water could be heard.

  Ten minutes later, she stepped out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel.

  She dried her hair, walked toward Tang Hao, stretched out her hand, and said gently, “Hao! Nap with me for a while! I’m so tired. I just want to hug you and have a good nap.”
