I just want to be a salted fish quietly Chapter 074

“Is your profession a bodyguard?”

Old Man Zuo, after all, had some insight. After listening to Lin Xian’s request, he quickly associated it with this profession.

He had previously made several suits for clients in this line of work.

Lin Xian shook his head and chuckled, “No, I just simply think fighting in a suit is cool!”

Hearing this, Yan Xiaoman and Zhang Mengyao couldn’t help but roll their eyes.

Damn, what kind of ridiculous reason is this!

Eh?

The two women thought for a moment, and it seemed that fighting in a suit really did look cool!

Old Man Zuo spoke, “The requirements you mentioned, there are indeed fabrics that can achieve them, but the price isn’t cheap.”

“It’s fine, anything within a million is acceptable!” Lin Xian said nonchalantly.

Let alone a million, even ten million, Lin Xian would consider it worth it.

It was simply that the [Suit Thug] skill effect was too powerful; wearing a suit would cause his combat power to skyrocket countless times.

“…”

Old Man Zuo was somewhat speechless, pursing his lips, “Since you’re not short on money, then just use the best fabric.”

“No problem!” Lin Xian didn’t even ask the price and directly nodded in agreement.

In reality, he didn’t understand suit fabrics. If the other party really wanted to trick him, asking would be useless.

However, Lin Xian didn’t think Old Man Zuo would trick him. Not to mention the connection with Zhang Mengyao, just the few games of chess they played earlier could roughly reveal the other person’s character.

Chess character is like human character.

It has the same profound meaning as discerning a person through their handwriting.

After deciding on the fabric, Old Man Zuo took out a tape measure and began to measure Lin Xian’s various data.

After jotting down the data in a notebook, Old Man Zuo said, “Show me a set of punches!”

“What?”

Lin Xian was startled.

What did he mean? Did tailoring a suit now require a talent show?

“Didn’t you say you wanted to fight in a suit? Of course, I need to record the range of motion of your arms and legs so that the finished suit won’t hinder your limb movements.”

Old Man Zuo was indeed very professional, even considering these details.

Lin Xian said helplessly, “I practice Jeet Kune Do, there are no fixed routines!”

Jeet Kune Do was indeed like that, without fixed routines, it was more of a martial arts philosophy.

It wasn’t bound by any form of attack, and the attacking methods were highly free.

If there had to be a routine, it would be one word: fast!

All martial arts in the world are unbreakable with speed!

To intercept the enemy before they attack you, that is the core of Jeet Kune Do.

And to achieve this, you must be fast!

Bruce Lee’s strength might not have been that strong, and his resistance to blows wasn’t terrifying, but in terms of speed alone, almost no MMA fighter could compare to him.

Just as Bruce Lee’s student, Dan Inosanto, said, when I was about to raise my hand, he had already retracted his fist, which once made me feel despair!

…

Old Man Zuo waved his hand, “It’s fine, just do some basic movements, like swinging your fists and kicking your legs. Remember, use your full strength, otherwise, the data won’t be accurate and will affect the final product’s effect.”

“Okay!”

Lin Xian nodded, and at his request, threw a full-strength punch.

Old Man Zuo wasn’t idle either, immediately taking out the tape measure and beginning to measure the data of his punch.

Then Old Man Zuo had him throw punches from various angles.

Although constantly repeating these movements was tedious and boring, this pursuit of excellence and craftsmanship made Lin Xian very satisfied.

The two of them busied themselves for over an hour before Old Man Zuo signaled him to stop.

And that notebook was already filled with more than ten pages of data.

Yan Xiaoman and Zhang Mengyao, who were standing by, had long been laughing hysterically as they watched him constantly strike silly poses.

At this moment, one was rubbing her stomach, and the other was rubbing her cheeks.

Old Man Zuo picked up his teacup and took a sip, then asked, “Finally, do you have any requirements for the style of this suit?”

“I don’t really understand, what do you think?” Lin Xian inquired.

He sized him up a few times, and Old Man Zuo praised, “Actually, your temperament is very good, as calm as water, giving people the feeling of a gentle and refined gentleman. I think we can incorporate some Celestial Dynasty elements into this suit.”

Lin Xian chuckled, “You decide!”

After deciding, Old Man Zuo instructed, “Come back in a week to try it on!”

“I can get the suit in a week?”

Lin Xian was delighted, not expecting it to be so fast.

“What are you thinking? In a week, you’re just coming for a fitting. It’ll take at least a month to get the finished product!” Old Man Zuo said crossly.

Finally, Lin Xian paid a 200, 000 deposit and left his phone number.

This 200, 000 deposit was just for ordering the fabric; the production cost would be settled after the finished product.

…

Back in the Bentley, Lin Xian glanced at the time and asked, “Where do you want to eat for lunch?”

Yan Xiaoman looked forward, “How about local cuisine?”

“Xin Yuan again?” Lin Xian raised an eyebrow.

Yan Xiaoman hugged his arm and whined, “Please! I haven’t had their braised pork belly in ages, and Zhang Mengyao probably hasn’t been there, so let’s take her to try something new.”

Zhang Mengyao, sipping the drink provided in the car, said lazily, “You guys decide, I’m just here for the free food and drinks!”

“Xin Yuan Private Kitchen requires advance reservations, and since it’s the weekend today, there won’t be any spots left,” Lin Xian explained.

Just then, the driver, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, “Mr. Lin, if you’d like to taste local cuisine, I recommend Guihua Tower at the hotel!”

“Guihua Tower? Is the taste as good as Xin Yuan Private Kitchen?” Yan Xiaoman asked curiously.

“Heh heh, with all due respect, the two are completely incomparable!” The driver chuckled, his tone showing disdain for Xin Yuan Private Kitchen.

So arrogant?

Immediately, the three of them became interested.

Lin Xian nodded, “Alright, let’s go back to the hotel!”

Upon returning to the hotel, the three of them headed straight to Guihua Tower on the second floor.

The restaurant wasn’t too large in area, decorated in a very Celestial Dynasty style, with a predominantly red color scheme.

At this time, there were already a few tables of guests dining in the restaurant. After Lin Xian and the two found a seat, a waiter immediately came forward with a menu.

As a foodie, Yan Xiaoman had difficulty choosing when faced with delicious food. She flipped through the menu for a while but couldn’t decide which dish to order.

As for Zhang Mengyao, she was even more hopeless, like a salted fish.

Lin Xian simply asked, “This is our first time eating here, what are your signature dishes?”

Hearing this, the waiter replied, “As for signature dishes, we highly recommend Crystal Steamed Yellow Croaker with Soup. This dish was originally the top dish in the Manchu Han Imperial Feast, and after being improved by our head chef, the flavor has more layers. Secondly, Fish Head Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is also a must-order dish.”

[PS: I saw some friends saying that the updates are slow. Well, how should I put it, I’ve been trying to conceive recently, planning to have a baby. So, I might not have as much energy to write, and can only maintain four updates a day. After a while, I’ll resume the pace of six updates a day!]
