Chapter 38 Opening
The restaurant’s pricing is not expensive, because most of the diners are neighbors or ordinary low-level practitioners who are not rich. If the price is not too expensive, everyone can at least afford it, and try to make small profits but quick turnover.
The restaurant’s signature dish is still beef. The price of beef is two spirit stones per plate, which is not cheap for casual cultivators, but compared with spirit meat or other restaurants that sell beef, it is already extremely cost-effective.
Beef noodles are cheaper. Plain noodles only cost 3 points of crushed spiritual stones, while adding beef requires 6 points of crushed spiritual stones.
For ordinary Qi refining and casual cultivation, one day’s income is only a few points more than one spiritual stone. A plate of beef requires two days of busy work to afford. It’s okay to try it occasionally, but it’s simply impossible to eat it every day.
But you can eat meat with two spirit stones. This is the only one in Quantong Immortal City. Even if you just want to satisfy your craving and eat a bowl of beef noodles, you only need six broken spirit stones.
Within a few days of opening, there were more and more customers.
Although the casual cultivators nearby cannot eat meat every day, there are always people who want to have a good meal every day.
Some of them are qi refining cultivators from relatively well-off families and can eat once every three to five; some are Taoist friends who meet each other and don’t want to spend too much or be too simple, so they order a plate of beef, add some side dishes, and drink while chatting.
There are also cases where the children have improved in spiritual practice. In order to reward their children, the parents take them to eat spicy beef noodles to satisfy their cravings.
Occasionally, there are some traveling merchants passing by from other places who are tired from traveling. They heard that the restaurants have meat. They want to satisfy their greed, but due to the lack of money, they hesitate to order something but dare not order it.
Until they heard that a plate full of beef only needed two spiritual stones, their eyes widened.
I still have concerns in my mind, wondering if it will taste bad if it is sold so cheaply.
Then I thought again, the restaurant business was so good, the taste shouldn’t be too bad, so I tried to order a dish.
Once you take a taste, you won’t be able to stop.
From then on, businessmen who often passed by would stop at the restaurant, order a plate of meat and have a few glasses of wine. People who passed by without stopping in the past will now stop at restaurants to eat meat and chat.
Some merchants who never passed by would even go to the restaurant specifically to have a few bites of meat, just to taste the beef and relieve their fatigue after a long journey.
After all, there is only one place within a hundred miles where you can eat such delicious meat at such a cheap price.
The number of diners gradually increased, and the store became busy. Dahu and the other three came to the restaurant to help. After a busy day, they ate a large bowl of beef noodles in the evening, and then brought some beef with them, and then went home satisfied.
However, Tongxian Sect is about to start school, and everyone has to start practicing, so there will still be insufficient manpower.
Mo Hua didn’t want his mother to work too hard, so he suggested hiring someone to help. Mo Shan also cared about his wife’s physical condition not being fully recovered and unable to use her spiritual power, so he agreed with Mo Hua’s idea.
After discussing with his wife, Mo Shan invited a family member from the demon hunting team to come to the restaurant to help with thirty spiritual stones per month.
The next day, a young-looking woman with a shy expression came to the door, carrying a basket in her hand. In the basket were some fresh wild vegetables with dew on them. It seemed that they had just been picked up the mountain in the morning.
Mo Hua listened to his parents’ chat and learned that the woman’s surname was Jiang, and her given name also had the character Yun.
My husband’s surname was Chu. His chest was torn open by the claws of a wolf demon while hunting a demon. All the family’s savings were used to treat his injuries. Although he barely managed to save his life, he was seriously injured and could not continue hunting demons. The family had no money. income.
Jiang Yunling’s spiritual foundation was not good. He only practiced to the fourth level of Qi Refining before quitting the sect. After a few years, he got married and had children. After her husband was seriously injured, she wanted to find a job to supplement the family income, but her cultivation level at the fourth level of Qi Refining was too low and she couldn’t earn any spiritual stones at all. Doing some chores, the spiritual stones were meager and very unstable, plus there was a few… They have to take care of a 10-year-old child, so it is very difficult to make a living.
Nowadays, it is very rare to have a stable job in a restaurant and earn thirty spiritual stones a month.
Jiang Yun was grateful in her heart, but she was introverted by nature and was not good at words. She wanted to say something but could not express her gratitude, and her face turned red due to embarrassment.
Liu Ruhua quickly comforted her, telling her not to think too much and just do things with peace of mind.
Jiang Yun felt relieved and listened to Liu Ruhua’s instructions. She is diligent and careful in her work. Although she does not learn things quickly, she is very serious. Liu Ruhua likes her very much.
After closing in the evening, Liu Ruhua packed several bowls of noodles in food boxes, added a few more slices of meat, and asked her to take them back.
Jiang Yun quickly resisted, blushing and saying she didn’t want anything: “Sister Liu, you are good enough to me, I can’t take this.”
Liu Ruhua said: “Take it back and give it to the child.”
Jiang Yun no longer had the energy to shirk. Her child had not had enough to eat for several days, let alone meat. She took the food box and wanted to say thank you, but she was clumsy and kept saying the same words of thanks over and over again.
Liu Ruhua just comforted her, “Don’t think so much. It’s getting late. Let’s go back and see the child early.”
Jiang Yun carefully carried the food box and walked home. When she passed the corner, she stood still. She looked like she was sobbing from behind. After a while, she silently wiped her tears with her sleeves and then continued to go home. Walk.
Mo Hua stood in the distance looking at her figure with complicated emotions.
His family was not rich at first, and their life was very tight. However, in Tongxian City, there were many families of casual cultivators who were even more miserable than his family.
It would be great if the monks in this world did not have to suffer the hardship of making a living.
Mo Hua thought silently.
Liu Ji Restaurant opened smoothly. Liu Ruhua was busy working at the restaurant all day long. She looked thinner, but her face was rosy and her complexion was better.
Opening a restaurant allows you to research various meals, and also save spiritual stones for your son for future practice and marriage. Liu Ruhua felt very satisfied and had more smiles on her face.
Looking at his wife’s current appearance, Mo Shan felt relieved.
And Mo Hua ate more delicious food and became happy.
The restaurant has opened, and the family’s spiritual stone income has increased, so food and clothing expenses no longer have to be as embarrassing as before. By the time Tongxianmen started school, the restaurant had made a total profit of more than 200 spirit stones.
Liu Ruhua gave all the more than 200 spirit stones he earned to Mo Hua, and asked Mo Hua to go to the sect to choose a suitable technique, and told him not to delay his practice.
Mo Hua nodded in agreement.
On the second day, the summer vacation was over, and Tongxianmen opened its gate to welcome the disciples to the school.
Mo Hua also waved at the foot of the mountain, said goodbye to Liu Ruhua who was seeing him off, and then walked into the Tongxian Gate.
As disciples began to enroll one after another, the originally quiet Tongling Peak gradually became lively.
However, after two full months of summer vacation, many disciples were distracted and their practice was wasted. At this time, when they entered school, they looked somewhat uneasy.
In order to gather everyone’s attention, Yan Jiaoxi directly announced a temporary formation assessment.
The remaining heat of the summer was completely extinguished by the cold water poured down from the pocket, and many disciples showed expressions of sadness that outweighed their despair.
This is an on-the-spot assessment, so you can’t take it back to do it, even if you want to do some small tricks.
Ink painting has no fear.
He can already draw five formation patterns, and he is considered an experienced apprentice. The sect’s basic formation assessments are not difficult for him at all.
Moreover, for more than a month after the summer vacation, he also practiced the formation day and night, consuming his spiritual consciousness to the critical line every time. In the continuous squeezing of his spiritual consciousness, he continued to strengthen his spiritual consciousness.
When it comes to such trivial matters as assessment, Mo Hua is full of confidence and feels that he can do it easily.
But when the test papers for the formation assessment were handed out, Mo Hua was a little dumbfounded.
He confirmed it several times and finally determined that what was being assessed was not a single formation, but a complete formation, and it was a formation that included six formations!
