Chapter 477: Chapter 477: The Difference Between the Master's Wife and the Beautiful Female Disciple
Seeing the girls from the Sorority having a pleasant chat with other beauties, Luo Yang took a seat at Zhu Li's table.
Liao Shengyang was like a withered blade of grass, listless and hanging his head low.
He was well aware that today's affair couldn't just be ignored.
Currently, he only had two options: either refuse Luo Yang or transfer the seafood restaurant to him, naturally for only half the price.
"Old Liao, I've heard a saying, 'A man without his word is nothing,'" Luo Yang got straight to the point.
"Big brother, I was wrong. How about we run it together?" Liao Shengyang tried to persuade Luo Yang.
Luo Yang detested those who didn't keep their promises the most.
For him to go back into business with Liao Shengyang was something he couldn't accept.
"Sister Kick, for half of the shop, how much should I give him?" Luo Yang asked Zhu Li.
"One hundred thousand dollars," Zhu Li answered.
"Old Liao, then I'll give you one hundred thousand, and the shop will be mine. What's your bank account number, I'll transfer it to you," Luo Yang said.
Liao Shengyang sat there, stunned, not responding.
"So, do you want to settle this according to the rules of the jianghu?" Luo Yang said coldly.
If Liao Shengyang had enough strength, he could indeed disregard the bet they made initially.
But having just seen Luo Yang discipline Shou He, Liao Shengyang knew he had no power to challenge Luo Yang anymore.
Such verbal bets are common among common folk, and though they're not written in black and white, they're still expected to be honored.
"It should be more than one hundred thousand, right?" Liao Shengyang said with a pained expression.
He had resigned himself to his fate.
So, after some haggling, Luo Yang ended up paying Liao Shengyang one hundred and twenty thousand, and the seafood restaurant was his.
After the payment, there were still some formalities to take care of.
Luo Yang left these matters for Zhu Li to handle.
He had thought about asking his family to manage the money, but the idea of the Lin Family causing trouble at the restaurant seemed risky, so he let Zhu Li find a manager for the time being.
Having sent Liao Shengyang on his way, Luo Yang gathered all the staff in the courtyard at the back.
"I am the new boss here now. Everything remains the same, just carry on as usual. Today, each of you gets a two hundred yuan bonus," Luo Yang generously declared.
At first, seeing the staff all look so dispirited, Luo Yang added that last part on the spot.
Indeed, money can be persuasive.
The staff cheered and applauded, welcoming the new boss.
This was the only seafood restaurant in Xiaoshulin Market, and acquiring it for one hundred and twenty thousand was not a loss.
Moreover, with his own supply of excellent ingredients, Luo Yang anticipated that the business would only get better.
Not seeing Xiao Daniu arrive, Luo Yang called him, only to learn that the teacher of the last two classes wanted to finish the content, which had delayed him.
Xiao Daniu and Dai Baojian arrived quickly.
A while later, Zeng Xiaomei also arrived.
At school, Hong Jiaxin had a good relationship with Zeng Xiaomei, so naturally, she invited her to taste the fish as well.
Upon seeing Zeng Xiaomei, Xiao Daniu behaved as if a mouse had seen a cat.
"Damn, Concubine Yang, you dare to come here where there's all beauties?" Xiao Daniu mocked.
"Shut up! Do you think you're handsome?" Zeng Xiaomei said with a flushed face.
Just by looking at Zeng Xiaomei's robust stature, you could scare away many boys.
Seeing Xiao Daniu grinning, Zeng Xiaomei said sullenly, "It looks like you want to date me?"
As she spoke, Zeng Xiaomei twisted her waist.
Unfortunately, her waist was too thick to twist, and only her shoulders swayed slightly.
Hearing this, Xiao Daniu shrank back in fright.
"Da Baojian! Concubine Yang has her eyes on you!" Xiao Daniu slapped Dai Baojian's shoulder.
Dai Baojian lived solely to keep his hairstyle intact.
```
Startled by what Xiao Daniu said, Dai Bao Jian's hairstyle almost got messed up.
"Shui Niu, Concubine Yang has taken a fancy to you, you're blessed," Dai Bao Jian conceded.
The other beauties wanted to laugh but it wouldn't have been appropriate.
"Concubine Yang's features aren't bad, Shui Niu, you two have a couple's look," Luo Yang chuckled.
"Damn it, Concubine Yang, just kill me," Xiao Daniu pleaded.
If the conversation continued, Zeng Xiaomei's cheeks would be red enough to bleed.
"Let's order quickly, eat and talk," Luo Yang diverted the topic.
While dining, Luo Yang decided to change the restaurant's signboard to 'Niu Zai Seafood Restaurant', and all the beauties agreed.
Luo Yang left the making of the signboard to Zhu Li.
"Sister Lin, how is the cost for radio advertising divided into categories?" Luo Yang asked.
"The best is the T-level time, like 7:30 to 8:30 in the morning, 11:30 to 12:30 at noon, and 5:30 to 6:30 in the afternoon. During these three periods, a 30-second commercial costs 200 yuan each time."
"Next is the A-level time, which is less effective than the T-level, costing 150 yuan for each 30-second spot."
"There are even less desirable times with lower fees. Naturally, the effect won't be as good."
Lin Xixin recited the details like an expert.
"Then let's advertise during the T-level time. Let's start with 100 spots to see what the effect is like. I will transfer the money to your account; can you handle it for me?" Luo Yang inquired.
"Sure can," Lin Xixin responded promptly.
Luo Yang offered her beauty stream water for free and treated her to Yellow lip Fish, Yangtze shad, and Yangtze River sword fish. Just these favors alone were enough for her to be indebted to him.
The chefs in the restaurant were somewhat skilled, understanding how to cook Yellow lip Fish dishes; they made fish maw and scallop stewed with lean meat, which tasted quite good.
The Yangtze River sword fish was steamed with spring bamboo shoots, ginger, and scallions on top, with a dash of cooking wine, and drizzled with oyster sauce and pork fat.
When eaten, the flesh was tender and fresh, and the texture was very pleasing.
As for the Yangtze shad, it was also steamed.
However, Luo Yang was surprised to learn for the first time that steaming Yangtze shad did not involve scaling the fish.
He asked the chef and learned that the scales of Yangtze shad are rich in fat, so they don't remove them during cooking in order to enhance the fragrance of the fish.
All three types of fish fry were acquired by Luo Yang from streams and ponds in the 'Shennong Scripture' landscape painting, which allowed them to have such delicious fish meat.
All three kinds of fish were rare, so naturally, the price was not cheap.
After tasting, each of the beauties praised the dishes endlessly.
Luo Yang joked, "Whoever wants to eat them in the future, I'll treat you."
Hearing this, the beauties were overjoyed, almost dancing with excitement.
At Luo Yang's house, four fish ponds were dug specifically to breed Giant Tuna, Yellow lip Fish, Yangtze River sword fish, and Yangtze shad, ensuring a steady future supply for the seafood restaurant.
He indeed had the capability to let the beauties frequently taste such good-flavored fish.
Now that he had become the owner of the seafood restaurant, Luo Yang was extremely satisfied and proud.
They had intended to drink, but most of the beauties had low tolerance for alcohol.
Besides, they had things to do in the afternoon, so they had to give up the idea of drinking.
The restaurant only had fans, no air conditioning.
The air blown by the fans felt just like the air wafting out of a furnace, causing people to sweat profusely.
The beauties were also drenched in fragrant sweat.
Of course, only Luo Yang, who possessed the X-Ray Ability, could appreciate the beautiful sight of the beauties' bodies glistening with sweat.
Everyone was eating seafood and chatting casually.
When it came to the amateur martial arts competition between Chinese and Japanese fighters that evening, the girls from the Sorority also wanted to go and cheer for Luo Yang.
Luo Yang suggested with a smile, "It would be better if everyone wore the same outfit. The class monitor will wear a Tang suit, what about you guys?"
Zhang Xue said, "We'll also wear Tang suits."
Last time, during the grand opening of the martial arts school, only Tang Guihua and An Yuying wore Tang suits.
It wasn't that others didn't want to wear them; it was just that at that time, to differentiate between the master's, mistress's, and disciples' attire, aside from Luo Yang, Tang Guihua, and An Yuying, the rest of the disciples all wore sportswear.
