Gu Huangyan reluctantly opened the door and let Chu Ci in.
"Sister Gu, why should you close the door in broad daylight? There are so many people queuing up outside to eat."
"Don't mention it. I don't know what happened. So many people came suddenly..." Gu Huangyan was halfway through complaining when he suddenly realized something and his face darkened: "Chu Ci, did you do this?"
Chu Ci was still claiming credit proudly: "I didn't expect you to discover it so soon. No need to thank me. After all, I am also an investor in the store. Now the entire Jiuge City knows your craftsmanship. If it continues like this...
…”
What Chu Ci didn't see was that Gu Huangyan's face was getting darker and darker, almost as black as the bottom of a pot in the kitchen.
"You are really my good 'investor'!" Gu Huangyan's teeth itched with hatred.
At this time, Chu Ci finally realized that Gu Huangyan's tone was wrong. He turned around and saw a white fist getting bigger and bigger in front of his eyes.
Bang!
With a groan of pain, Chu Ci covered his eyes and backed away.
"Sister Gu, why are you hitting me? Aren't you happy that I am recruiting customers for you?"
"Happy! I'm very happy! I'm so happy now that I want to beat you up!"
Bang, another punch.
"Sister Gu, if you have something to say, say it nicely and don't hit anyone!"
Bang!
"If you hit me again, I'll hit you back!"
Bang!
"Don't slap someone in the face!"
Bang!
"Sister Gu, I was wrong!"
After beating Chu Ci severely, Gu Huangyan finally felt much better. Looking at the tortured Chu Ci on the ground, she snorted coldly: "Since you brought these people here, you are responsible for getting them back!" "No, it's rare for so many people to come here." Chu Ci rubbed his bruised eyes: "Didn't you say you want to dominate the entire Chengyang Mansion's catering industry? This is the first step!"
"That's if you join." Gu Huangyan said with a cold expression: "I am alone now, and I will not do such stupid things."
Chu Ci's mouth twitched slightly.
Co-author: Do you treat me as a tool?
"Even if you don't dominate, it would be good to make more money." Chu Ci said helplessly.
"I don't need too much money. Do you think every god looks like you?"
Chu Ci's expression froze. It hurts your heart to say this.
"What's more, you don't consider the issue of raw materials?" Gu Huangyan pointed to the kitchen backstage: "The number of monster eggs is not that many. In just these two days, I have used the monster eggs I got back.
More than half of them have been laid, but the black-chicken beasts can’t lay eggs that fast. What will happen when there are no eggs?”
"To be clear, I will never use those ordinary eggs."
Chu Ci frowned. The raw materials were indeed a problem. Whether it was egg rice or egg fried rice, monster eggs were needed.
After thinking for a while, Chu Ci slowly said: "Then let's limit it."
"Limited?"
"Yes, limit the number of meals per day. This way you can control the consumption of materials within a controllable level without causing resentment to the guests. You also have enough time to... rest."
"This is a good idea." Gu Huangyan raised an eyebrow: "Just do as you say."
The matter of the shop's customers has been resolved, but Chu Ci's problem has not yet been resolved.
Because Chu Ci promoted the store without consultation, Gu Huangyan worked hard for two full days, which was a heinous crime.
After being tried by Lord Gu Huangyan, Chu Ci was sentenced to not being allowed to enter the shop to eat for one month, which made him devastated.
The fine was fine, but Gu Huangyan knew that Chu Ci was short of money recently, so he advanced a sum of money to Chu Ci in advance.
"This is considered a dividend from this investment."
Chu Ci was so moved that he almost hugged her thigh on the spot.
Rich woman, I don’t want to work hard anymore!
With money, Chu Ci can also start carving the amethyst refining array.
As an important resource, Purple Stone is mainly traded in exchange for things.
Of course, you can also use money to trade, but only with partners who are familiar with the Zheng family, and the transaction volume is generally relatively large.
Although Chu Ci didn't do anything, he had a good relationship with Patriarch Zheng and bought a batch of Zi Yao Stone through Patriarch Zheng's secretary.
Soon, five more amethyst refining circles appeared on the ground of the wooden house.
The amethyst refining array occupies less space than the cyan crystal, so Chu Ci does not need to erase the original cyan crystal refining array and can arrange it in a free space.
Amethyst's refining circle Chu Ci has also been improved, but this time it is not to improve the refining efficiency, but to improve the consumption of the refining process.
For Chu Ci, the biggest problem in refining amethyst is not time, but materials. After all, it is all money!
Originally, it took 30 pieces of Purple Stone to extract a piece of Amethyst. With Chu Ci's improved array, now only 10 pieces of Purple Stone are needed, reducing the refining loss several times.
After the amethyst refining circle started to operate, the entire wooden house was filled with blue light and purple fire, accompanied by the "whining" sound of the wind leaking from the wooden house, which made people's hair stand on end.
Coupled with Xiao Pu who wanders around the cabin from time to time, if someone accidentally enters this cabin and is not frightened to death, he has a strong psychological quality.
But Xiao Pu was a little strange today. He stayed in the corner and looked curiously at the Purple Yao Stone next to him.
"Pfft, what's wrong?"
"Puff!"
Through the tone of his voice, Chu Ci could sense that Xiao Pu was very interested in the Purple Yao Stone, but he did not dare to touch it without Chu Ci's consent.
"If you want to play, just take a piece." Chu Ci waved his hand, looking like he had a lot of money.
Xiao Pu excitedly picked up a small piece of Zi Yao Stone and held it in his arms, like a child who got a toy, flying around the room happily.
Chu Ci smiled slightly. After all, he was a little demon who was just born, no different from a child.
After a while, Chu Ci realized something was wrong.
Xiaopu’s aura is a little stronger!
"Huh?"
Chu Ci was a little surprised and observed carefully.
After a while, the puff of breath got a little stronger.
This time Chu Ci saw it, and the source of Xiao Pu’s powerful aura was the Purple Yao Stone in his arms!
It can absorb the energy inside the Purple Yao Stone!
Chu Ci is thoughtful.
He suddenly remembered one thing. Among monsters, the probability of inanimate objects such as stones, flames, and water turning into monsters is very low, but once they turn into monsters, they will have some innate unique abilities.
Xiaopu's strength is still very low, but it is a real monster. Perhaps absorbing energy is its own innate ability.
I just don’t know what the limitation of this talent is, is it all items with special energy, or only minerals like Purple Stone.
I'll have to try it another day.
Xiao Pu didn't know what Chu Ci was thinking. He didn't even know that he was absorbing the energy of the Zi Yao Stone, and he was still having fun playing with this "toy" he just got.
After handling the amethyst refining array, Chu Ci was preparing to find a high place to rest and see if he could meet anyone praying.
Not long after he walked out, he heard the slightly angry voice of a young man not far away.
