Chapter 289: The First Day of Opening the Store
Chapter 289: The First Day of Opening the Store
After half a month of preparation, the monk’s food restaurant finally opened on this day.
The teahouse under the cloud tree, facing the east gate of the city to the south, was converted into a small restaurant by Lao Zhang and his second sister.
The original plaque was also taken down and replaced with a new one.
The new plaque had a few big words written on it: "Second Sister's Gourmet Restaurant".
At this time, Yunshu was standing at the door of the store with her second sister who was dressed up beautifully.
The handsome boy Ning Zhi was sent by Yunshu to Luohui Canyon to look for food.
Yunshu also gave Ning Zhi one of the rarest high-level teleportation talismans he had.
"Remember what I told you, the first element of cultivating immortality is to stay alive. If you encounter danger that you cannot handle, you must escape at the first opportunity. Do you understand?"
It was Ning Zhi's first time going out alone, and Yun Shu taught him earnestly.
"Ning Zhi knows that there are no monsters in Luohui Valley that are higher than the third level of Qi Refining. Uncle Master can rest assured."
"Xiaozhi, you must remember that monsters are not dangerous. The most dangerous people in this world are cultivators. Do you understand?"
Before Ning Zhi left, Yun Shu reminded him again.
Only after Ning Zhi left from the east gate did Yunshu and his second sister open the door and start their first day of business.
On the first day of opening, my second sister dressed up specially.
"Monk, do I look beautiful today?" The second sister gently lifted the ends of her hair by her ears with her hands, her movements were very charming.
"Well, it's really beautiful, like a flower, attracting flies!" Yun Shu snorted coldly in response to his second sister.
"You're talking nonsense. Flowers don't attract flies. What attracts flies is..."
"You stinky monk, who are you scolding?" The second sister, who had just reacted, punched Yunshu.
"Stop messing around, let's get started!" Yunshu pushed his second sister, who was dressed up in fancy clothes, into the kitchen, then stood at the door of the food store and shouted loudly.
"On the first day of the new store opening, everything is free. Don't miss it if you pass by. The food in our store is comparable to immortality elixirs, containing pure spiritual power. Mortals can prolong their lives by eating it, and monks can improve their cultivation by eating it!"
Yunshu's shout immediately attracted the attention of the people on the street.
A group of people surrounded the Yunshu.
"Black Monk, is what you said true? Can delicious food also contain pure spiritual energy?" asked a young cultivator of the third stage of Qi Refining in the crowd.
"Of course." Yun Shu replied with a smile.
"You're just kidding. I've only heard that elixirs contain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and that cultivators can refine them for their own use. But I've never heard that delicious food can also contain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."
A horse-faced cultivator at the twelfth level of Qi Refining said in the crowd.
Yun Shu replied with a smile: "My fellow Daoist, the world is so vast that nothing is impossible. Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I am a direct disciple of the Tianchu Sect. Preserving the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into delicious food is the unique skill of the Tianchu Sect."
"Whether it is true or not, you will know after trying it. It's free anyway!" Someone behind the horse-faced monk said this and pushed him into the food store.
"Yes, you'll know once you try it. Our restaurant is free on the first day, so everyone can eat as much as they want!" Yunshu still greeted the guests with a smile.
Generally, after a cultivator reaches the sixth stage of Qi Refining, he will start fasting.
Before reaching the sixth stage of Qi Refining, most cultivators would choose to take the Qigong Pill because it is convenient.
Few people still eat three meals a day like ordinary mortals.
Only occasionally, to satisfy my appetite, I would taste some worldly delicacies.
So Yun Shu shouted hard, but apart from attracting a group of curious people at the beginning, not many cultivators on the street paid any attention to him.
"Second sister, make it smell better!" Yunshu shouted to his second sister in the kitchen.
"You stinky monk, you just know how to make a fuss. Can't you see how busy I am? Come in and help me!" The busy second sister shouted at Yunshu.
Yunshu saw that his shouting outside didn't attract many customers, so he went into the kitchen to help.
Yunshu brought out plates of freshly prepared dishes.
The customers in the store are all working hard.
"My fellow villagers, my fellow Taoists, don't just focus on eating. Tell us about these dishes." Yun Shu asked with a smile while standing in the middle of the store.
"Boss, this dish is amazing. It also contains a small amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth. Although the amount is not much, as long as you eat it, the spiritual energy will be absorbed. It is completely different from elixirs that need to be refined."
A cultivator at the twelfth level of Qi Refining Stage described it in great detail.
An old man with white hair and a youthful face in a gray robe, with his mouth full of food, muttered, "What this kid said is all right. It's just that he forgot to mention another advantage."
"What are the advantages?" asked another customer in the store.
"It's delicious!" said the gray-robed old man, and continued to eat.
After eating and drinking their fill, the first group of guests left satisfied.
When leaving, they all bowed to Yunshu and sincerely thanked him for the meal.
After the first group of customers left, no matter how hard Yunshu tried to attract customers, there were not many more.
By the evening, no more customers came into the store.
The second sister also had time to come to the store and chat with Yunshu.
"Monk, why is there no one here? And today it's free and there are still few people. If it's charged tomorrow, won't even flies come?"
"How would I know what's going on? These people's practice of cultivating immortals has damaged their brains and they don't know how to enjoy themselves anymore." Yun Shu shook his head and sighed.
"What's the big deal? Aren't you the same?" The second sister sneered.
"Me too?" Yun Shu was puzzled.
"Yes, you don't even enjoy the fun that's right at your doorstep." After the second sister said that, she began to rub Yunshu with her body, and then kept raising her eyebrows and throwing flirtatious glances at Yunshu.
Yun Shu couldn't stand it anymore. He pointed at his second sister and said sternly, "If you dare to have improper thoughts about me again, I won't forgive you."
"Oh, I see. What should we do now?" asked the second sister.
"What else can I do? There are no customers. Let's close the stall!"
"Great, we can go home now. Xiaozhi hasn't come back yet."
"How about? The two of us..."
Yunshu didn't say anything either, but pointed his index finger at his second sister's nose.
The second sister made a face and said nothing more.
Yunshu and his second sister returned to the courtyard and found that Ning Zhi had already returned.
"Uncle-master, second sister, you are back. I just arrived too. I have made a good harvest today! How is it? How was your first day's business?" Ning Zhi asked Xiang Yunshu and his second sister.
Then he threw a Qiankun bag to Yunshu.
"Normally." Yun Shu agreed and took the Qiankun bag with a wry smile.
Then he turned and went into his room.
In the room, Yun Shu supported his forehead with one hand, lost in thought.
He never expected that even though the first day was free, there still weren't many customers.
If we start charging a fee in the future, how many people will still come?
"Alas...it seems I still have to use some tricks." Yun Shu muttered to himself.
