The Miscellaneous Sect is located in Beiling, within the territory of Mo State.
In the evening, under the reflection of the setting sun, the mountain peaks seem to be hooked with golden edges.
Canteen.
"Lin Ansheng, is today's price marked wrong?"
On a dining table, there were ninety-six dishes arranged horizontally and vertically, with a charcoal fire warming the lower part and a vegetable cover covering the upper part. A young man in blue robe looked at the price on the sign, his eyes flashing slightly.
Behind the dining table, a young man named Lin Ansheng had a rather immature and delicate face. Facing the question of the young man in blue robe, he smiled calmly and said: "Brother Kai, I heard that you broke through the great realm not long ago. Zong
The monthly mortgage payment has increased by 30%, congratulations."
"It's just a matter of course. It's one month later than I expected. What do you mean? My monthly payment has increased, and the price of vegetables has also increased. What do you think of me?" The young man in blue robe puffed out his chest,
With an accusing tone, there was a spring breeze blowing on his face.
Lin Ansheng shook his head and smiled: "I misunderstood, I mean, your cultivation has improved, your monthly water supply has increased, and the manager's cooking skills have improved, so the price should be raised, isn't it reasonable?"
As he said this, he opened a dish cover and added: "This is the dish cooked by the steward himself."
The exquisite dishes came into view, and the tangy aroma poured into his mouth and nose. The young man in blue swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and then looked at another dining table a few steps away, where there were a large pot and a large pot.
The dishes looked quite rough and lacked any heat, and there was a hint of disgust in his eyes.
Senior Brother Gu followed his gaze, coughed slightly, stretched his brows, and said: "Then do the same as Junior Sister Yurou, and give me a share."
Xia Wanzhu retracted her thoughts and nodded slightly. After sitting down, she saw that Lin Ansheng was about to continue counting. She lightly opened her red lips and said, "There is something about you."
This woman is the "Master Manager" he calls respectfully in front of outsiders. Even if he changes the title in private, he still maintains respect.
"For other outer disciples, with your conditions, no matter how poor your talent is, starting from scratch, in three years, you should be at the sixth or seventh level of body refining, but you are only at the fifth level of body refining, and you just broke through last month.
territory."
In her opinion, the reason why Lin Ansheng was passing the buck was simply because he was reluctant to make money every day, so he simply pointed out the point.
"Senior Sister Qin, look what you said, the manager spent more than half a year developing several new sauces, one of which is specially made for soup. It is not only delicious, but also has beauty benefits."
According to her agreement with Lin Ansheng, 10% will be used for external management, 10% will be given to other Zong Chef staff, she will share 30%, and the remaining 50% will be reserved for Lin Ansheng alone.
It's just that a boy who is now sixteen years old and was only thirteen when he entered the door has single-handedly brought blessings to everyone in the Zong Chef family. Just thinking about it makes people feel unreal and absurd.
Tonight is the biggest price increase since the launch of small pot dishes, from double to triple.
Martial arts practitioners consume a lot of food every day. They have three meals a day, especially the nutritious meal in the evening. The nourishing effect of the ingredients is the key. The ninety-six dishes on Lin Ansheng’s side are called small pot dishes, and the eight dishes on his side are called small pot dishes.
The ones in the pot are called big pot dishes. The ingredients are exactly the same, but there are some slight differences in color and taste. The price difference of three times is simply outrageous.
After that, he turned back to the topic: "The selection of the inner sect is a comprehensive evaluation. Different realms have different standards. A high realm may not necessarily be selected, and a low realm may not be selected. Therefore, you don't need to belittle yourself too much. To say the least, even if you don't
If you are selected, it is an experience. The opportunity is given to you, and it depends on you whether you can seize it or not."
"You misunderstood. Let me tell you the truth. No matter whether it is the inner sect or the outer sect, all the disciples are fighting. That kind of environment is not suitable for me. I just want to stay in Zongchu and live a peaceful life."
He said with a bitter face: "Sister Zhu, I know you have good intentions, but I only practice martial arts to strengthen my body. I don't have any big ambitions, so forget it."
After seeing off Senior Brother Kai, two more female disciples came.
Although she is young, she is already past her prime, but she has girlish hair, a classic oval face, breakable skin, and delicate and three-dimensional facial features.
Xia Wanzhu said calmly: "Outer sect disciples are only allowed to enter the outer sect library twice a month, and stay for up to three hours each time. But with my elder card, you can come and go freely, with no limit on the number of times and no time limit.
.”
Lin Ansheng looked ashamed: "My talent is too poor."
As he said that, he glanced towards where the two senior sisters were sitting.
"Do you know what the problem is?"
Youthful yet mature, the two contradictory temperaments are blended together. Not only does it not feel inconsistent, but it has a unique charm.
Lin Ansheng looked up.
The little fat man let out a breath, looked at the eight large pots that were more than half full after the three people had been busy for a long time, and then looked at Lin Ansheng who was walking to the back hall after Shi Shiran, and shook his head repeatedly in shock.
"Move quickly, you are so dazed and smiling like a fool, you will lose your appetite." The little fat man smiled bitterly, but when he heard a scolding of disgust, his smile instantly froze.
Silently watching Lin Ansheng take out the spiritual stones from the wooden box piece by piece, there was a hint of complexity in his eyes.
Seeing the updated vegetable prices on the sign, the girl in the yellow dress widened her almond-shaped eyes, and her cheeks were slightly angry. The girl in the white dress next to her had slightly bulging cheeks, her small cherry mouth was slightly pursed, and the corners of her lips were curved down, which was obviously different from the girl in the yellow dress.
A girl is an idea.
There are two big characters written on the wooden sign: "SOLD OUT".
"Outsiders don't know how much your monthly income is, but I know it very well. Not only is there no shortage of cultivation resources, there is also a lot of surplus."
Xia Wanzhu shook her head slightly, and her tone became more decisive: "I said, no matter how bad your talent is, it won't be this bad. Your biggest problem is that you work behind closed doors, with no teachers to give guidance, no exchanges with classmates, and lack of practical experience.
, if things go on like this, it is easy to reach a dead end, or even go astray.”
I don’t want to fight, I just want to live a peaceful life.
At the passageway connecting the kitchen, the curtain was opened by a bare hand, and a woman walked in.
In just half a stick of incense, Lin Ansheng sold out all ninety-six dishes, picked up the wooden box filled with spiritual stones in one hand, and took out a wooden sign from his pocket with the other hand and placed it on the empty table.
"Is it really true?"
The little fat man quickly filled up half a spoonful, and then the other party took it, snorted coldly, threw down the silver equivalent to half a piece of mortal spiritual stone, turned around and left.
She didn't think it was unbalanced because Lin Ansheng was a handyman disciple and his monthly income was about to catch up with her, the elder of the sect. Even when Lin Ansheng proposed a distribution plan that was divided equally between her and her, she took the initiative to change it to three or five.
Lin Ansheng sighed to himself, he didn't want to show up in public, let alone anything unexpected.
She was just borrowing her name and could receive hundreds of mortal-grade spiritual stones every month. What else could she be dissatisfied with?
In Zongchu, she has absolute authority, but it does not mean she is harsh. She has her own principles.
"The truth, absolutely the truth."
Facing Lin Ansheng's frank and sincere eyes, Xia Wanzhu was quiet for a long moment, and finally did not insist anymore: "The sect recruits inner disciples once every five years. If you miss it, you will have to wait five years to regret it. I will give you ten days.
Think carefully and give me a final answer then."
This was the most useless and ridiculous thing she had ever heard.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The little fat man apologized repeatedly, quickly packed a meal and handed it over.
Immediately, he stood up and called "Sister Zhu".
The little fat man can't figure it out. He really can't figure it out.
Lin Ansheng came to the back hall, sat down at a square table, and began to count the spiritual stones.
Lin Ansheng's bold proposal and vowed assurance once again became a reality.
"From 30% to 70%, from 70% to double, from double to triple, Lin Ansheng, you are too dark."
Smelling the alluring aroma, the gluttons in the two women's stomachs were immediately aroused. Looking at the pure white color of the soup, it was easy to associate it with the skin that every woman dreams of.
The pronunciation of the word "beautiful" was specially accentuated. At the end of the sentence, Lin Ansheng opened a vegetable cover, and underneath was a bowl of soup that was as viscous as milk.
The delicious taste and beauty make them lose their resistance.
It wasn't until he finished counting half of the spiritual stones that Lin Ansheng, who was too focused, discovered the charming scenery in front of him.
I really don’t know how this guy’s brain grew.
What's even more outrageous is that those who eat small-pot dishes are obviously taken advantage of, and they are still happy, as if they have picked up a lot of spiritual stones. On the other hand, those who eat big-pot dishes, as if they have taken the wrong medicine, are constantly attacking.
He vented his anger.
"One portion of refined grain rice, one portion of Wuguohui, one portion of fried venison with dragon pepper, one portion of bone-building soup, and four ordinary-grade spiritual stones."
The simple plain kitchen robe could not hide her tall and graceful figure. No makeup or accessories, but it could not dim her beautiful face.
The reason is very simple. Small pot dishes are Lin Ansheng's idea, and limited supply only for dinner is also Lin Ansheng's marketing strategy. The most important thing is that the essence of distinguishing small pot dishes from large pot dishes is the taste and dishes, and those sauces
The preparations are all made by Lin Ansheng, and Lin Ansheng is in charge.
Xia Wanzhu couldn't believe her ears. The country of Mo was founded by force. From the top to the kings, generals and ministers, down to the traders and pawns, everyone practices martial arts. Anyone who practices martial arts must have a bloody spirit, but if there is a bloody spirit, there must be a competitive spirit.
Such an extra income is not much different from her monthly payment, and is a hundred times that of Lin Ansheng's monthly payment. The monthly income of other kitchen staff also doubled accordingly.
Even though I see it every day, when I admire it so close, I can't help but feel a flash of amazement in my eyes.
She said: "Next month, the sect will recruit inner disciples. According to the rules, they are selected from the outer disciples. I have a recommendation quota and can make an exception for you to be shortlisted."
A male disciple in linen clothes said displeasedly: "I only took half a spoonful of the venison stir-fried with dragon pepper. Is that intentional?"
At another dining table, three waiters were very busy. One of them, a fat man, took the time to look over. Lin Ansheng spread his hands at him, indicating that I would close the stall here.
She didn't make any noise and stopped in front of the square table. Her tall and erect appearance gave people a sense of quiet beauty.
Xia Wanzhu frowned slightly: "I said, just treat it as an experience. If you are favored by any elder of the martial arts hall and hired into the inner sect, you can still come to my place to help, and you will not be deprived of your share."
At the end of the sentence, his eyes drooped slightly to hide the disappointment in his eyes.
After seeing off the two senior sisters, another handsome male disciple came, scanned the food prices, and frowned slightly.
Lin Ansheng saw this and smiled: "Senior Brother Gu, just now Senior Sister and Senior Sister Qin each ordered two dishes and one soup. What do you want?"
".What you said is not without some truth."
What's even more outrageous is that before half of his store was sold, Lin Ansheng's store was already sold out.
At three times the price, the extra double does not need to be turned over to the sect. Even if the small pot dishes are only for dinner every day, one meal can earn dozens of mortal-grade spiritual stones.
Of course she didn't believe that Lin Ansheng was not competitive, nor did she believe that Lin Ansheng only practiced martial arts to strengthen his body, but she saw that Lin Ansheng really didn't want to participate in the inner sect selection.
Less than one stick of incense, all sold out.
"Two portions of fine grain rice, two portions of Wuguohui, two portions of stir-fried seasonal vegetables with Yanguo, two portions of hibiscus and precious fish soup, and nine pieces of ordinary spiritual stones."
They looked at each other and saw a hint of emotion in each other's eyes.
After hearing this, Lin Ansheng immediately shook his head: "I am only at the fifth level of physical training. There is no way I can be selected. Participating will only make me look embarrassed."
Lin Ansheng has a big head, and Xia Wanzhu has a consistent style, and it is taboo to go against the rules. In the past, as long as she made a decision, he, as a subordinate, would obey her orders, but today, he couldn't do it.
As for the reason, she preferred the one he said at the beginning. He decided that he couldn't choose it and didn't want to embarrass himself.
The success of Xiao Guocai made her fall in love with Lin Ansheng's talents. Now she suddenly realized that it was the fault of others. Perhaps it was the success of Xiao Guocai that made him become complacent and lose the desire to try new challenges.
and the courage to face failure.
Lin Ansheng opposite didn't know what Xia Wanzhu was thinking, so he breathed a sigh of relief and responded: "Okay."
