“Is this…appropriate?
Song Jie was a little at a loss for a moment. Even before time travel, he had never been a father to anyone.
“There’s nothing appropriate or inappropriate, as long as you are willing, Brother Song.”
“Of course I am willing, but it’s a little too sudden, hahaha…”
“Then it’s settled.” Shi Lei laughed loudly, picked up the wine pot, and filled Song Jie’s and his own glasses, “Here, let’s have another drink!”
“Okay, let’s have another drink!”
Song Jie picked up the wine glass, touched it lightly with Shi Lei’s, then raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.
“Don’t just drink, you should also eat some food.” Li Caiwei reminded with a smile from the corner of her eyes.
“Yes, let’s eat food. Come and try my cooking skills, brother.”
“Looking at the appearance of this dish, you know it must be delicious.”
Song Jie smiled, picked up a piece of braised pork, put it into his mouth, and took a bite.
Immediately, the meat juice erupted directly in his mouth, and the fat but not greasy crispy texture kept hitting Song Jie’s taste buds.
Chew it gently, savoring the meaty aroma in your mouth, which can be said to leave a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth.
Song Jie gave a thumbs up without even bothering to speak.
After swallowing a whole piece of braised pork in his belly, Song Jie started to praise: “Brother Shi’s braised pork is really amazing!”
Seeing Song Jie’s reaction, Shi Lei also laughed happily, “Brother Song, you can try other dishes.”
So Song Jie tasted a few more other dishes and found that they were all delicious, not inferior to the meals Li Caiwei cooked before.
It can also be seen from this that Shi Lei probably cooks a lot on weekdays.
After drinking a few glasses of wine and tasting almost all the dishes on the table, Song Jie just found the opportunity and was ready to talk about building an alchemy furnace.
Before he could speak, Shi Lei said with a smile: “Brother Song, just now I heard from your sister-in-law that you have been promoted to the first level alchemist?”
“Yes, I was lucky enough to make a pot of Fuling Pills yesterday.”
“After becoming a first-level alchemist, Brother Song’s elixirs will definitely be easier to sell than before.
“I wonder if Brother Song has plans to open a shop?”
After hearing this, Song Jie’s eyes flickered, he pondered for a moment, and said: “I do have this plan, but not now.
“With my current success rate of first-grade elixirs, I’m afraid I’ll lose money if I open a store.”
Song Jie is indeed thinking about opening a store these days.
However, his plan was to wait until he could sell the first-grade elixir in bulk before finding a better store.
Then recruit two or three unqualified alchemists, who will be responsible for refining aphrodisiac elixirs, while Song Jie himself specializes in refining first-grade elixirs.
This plan is also the result of his careful thinking.
After all, there is an upper limit to personal productivity, and the upper limit of productivity also affects the upper limit of earning spiritual stones.
If you want to earn more spiritual stones, you must either refine higher-grade elixirs, or expand your productivity and refine a large number of elixirs.
It was impossible for Song Jie to refine a higher-grade elixir in a short period of time, but he could refine a mid-level elixir to his death.
Therefore, if you want to earn more spiritual stones, you can only find ways to expand your productivity and exchange quantity for spiritual stones.
If one person is not productive enough, then use two people.
If two people are not enough, then three people.
Of course, this also involves cost control, how to achieve a relatively healthy input-output ratio…
Song Jie hasn’t even begun to make detailed calculations yet, because he is still far away from his plan to open a store.
At this stage, his main goal is to improve his proficiency and skill points. He will first increase his proficiency in the first-grade elixir and Qingming Nether Fire.
When Shi Lei heard that Song Jie had indeed planned to open a store, his eyes immediately lit up.
Song Jie blinked his eyes and said with a smile: “I wonder what Brother Shi thinks?”
He was not surprised that Shi Lei had this plan.
If Shi Lei had no plans to open a store, he wouldn’t ask himself if he had any plans to open a store.
Coupled with the suggestions on signboards and logos that he gave to Li Caiwei half a year ago, it can be regarded as laying the foundation for Shi Lei to open a store.
Without even thinking deeply, Song Jie guessed that Shi Lei probably wanted to open a store with him as a partner.
The fact was just as Song Jie thought. Shi Lei thought about it twice and spoke directly without beating around the bush.
“Brother, I want to find someone to open a store with me. After much thought, I think you are the most suitable person, Brother Song.
“Although we have not known each other for long, in the past six months, I have often heard your sister-in-law mention you.
“So I also know very well that Brother Song is a person who is definitely trustworthy.
“Besides, Brother Song, your mind is very useful. Now you have been promoted to a first-level alchemist. You are also a famous person in Xinyuefang City.
“Coupled with the past few months of operation, our Xinyue Xuanbing Store has become somewhat famous and has accumulated some loyal customers.
“If we open a store together, we will definitely have a bright future.”
Shi Lei’s eyes shone, and the more he spoke, the more impassioned he became, almost standing on a chair to speak his mind.
Song Jie pondered what Shi Lei said and found that it was indeed feasible.
With his cultivation at the third level of the Qi Refining Stage, he has no background. Even though he is a first-level alchemist, in the world of immortal cultivation, the strong will always be respected.
If I open a store by myself in the future, I don’t know how much trouble there will be.
And Shi Lei has a cultivation level of the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage. He is also a first-level weapon refiner, and he is also a first-level weapon refiner who can create first-class inferior spiritual weapons.
Whether it was cultivation or status, Shi Lei was far superior to him.
It is indeed much better for two people to open a store together than one person working alone. They can solve problems together and share the cost of opening a store.
As for the personalities of Shi Lei and Li Caiwei…
On Li Caiwei’s side, Song Jie has been in contact with her for half a year, and naturally she knows very well that she is a close friend.
As for Shi Lei, although they have just met him, they feel very good so far. He should be a sincere person.
Otherwise, Li Caiwei would not have become a Taoist couple with Shi Lei.
Besides, as a third-level monk in the Qi Refining Stage with no identity or background, he has nothing to plot against.
Shi Lei would ask him to open a store as a partner, probably because of his character and fairly good business acumen.
When looking for a partner to open a store, the most important thing is the character of the partner and whether he is a trustworthy person.
Thinking of this, Song Jie suddenly realized.
Just now, Shi Lei asked himself to be the godfather of his child, probably to bring the two of them closer, which would also be beneficial to future cooperation.
Seeing that Song Jie had been brooding for a long time without speaking, Shi Lei quickly said: “Brother Song, there is no need to rush to answer me about this matter.
“This is not a trivial matter after all. Brother Song can think about what he just said after he goes back.
“If you think about it clearly after some time, you can come to me at any time.”
Song Jie smiled slightly and said: “It won’t take a while, I can give Brother Shi an answer now.
“Brother Shi invited me so sincerely, how could I not agree?
“And I also believe that if we open a store together, it will definitely bring huge wealth and bright future!”
