Chapter 218: Wealth
Fushanlou occupies a large area. In order to show goodwill to Mohua, Mr. An bought three buildings, connected them together, and turned them into a dining hall.
The location is also very good, with north-south transportation and people coming and going.
Because it is on South Street, the location is cheap, so the spiritual stones spent are not too many, at least not for the An family.
Fushanlou has two floors, the second floor is a private room, the first floor is the lobby, and there are some tables and stools placed outside in the open air.
The entire Fushanlou can accommodate many diners, and there are also some meat snacks that can be taken away.
The recipes used in the dining hall were given by Liu Ruhua, which contain cooking methods for various monster meats. After Liu Ruhua's long-term research and improvement, the taste is rich and unique.
The stove in the dining hall is a first-class stove. The stove is very large, with a first-class complex formation painted on it, strong firepower, and can be adjusted, and can cook many ingredients at the same time.
Therefore, the prices of many dishes in the dining hall are very cheap.
This is also Mohua's original intention, using large stoves to reduce costs and improve cooking efficiency.
In this way, most of the casual cultivators in Tongxian City can spend less spiritual stones and eat better dishes.
Cheap and delicious, naturally there are many customers and a large flow of people.
The restaurant can also achieve small profits but quick turnover, and earn a lot of spiritual stones.
And if the restaurant is big, it will need a lot of manpower to help.
Some injured demon hunters, or the wives of casual cultivators who are not good at Taoism, can also have a job and earn some spiritual stones to supplement their family expenses.
After everything was prepared, Fushanlou opened on an auspicious day.
After opening, Fushanlou has been constantly flowing with people and business is very good.
Mo Hua looked happy and relieved.
But An Xiaofu became nervous.
There were so many diners in the whole restaurant, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
The key is that he is still the shopkeeper. According to Mo Hua, all these will depend on him in the future.
An Xiaofu's head is getting bigger.
Although there were people in the An family who could help him, they could only help temporarily, not in the future. He still had to learn and do these things.
But he didn't know where to learn and where to start.
Mo Hua said, "You don't have to think of yourself as a small shopkeeper. Just think of yourself as a restaurant, eating and chatting with diners. Don't be too rigid."
After Mo Hua said this, An Xiaofu felt relaxed.
He could run up and down, say hello to the familiar demon hunters, offer a glass of wine, send some snacks, and introduce the signature dishes of the restaurant.
He loved to eat, and when he talked about these things, he was even more at ease and well-informed.
When he had nothing to do, he still liked to sit at a table with others, listen to others talk about their experiences in cultivation, or strange stories, and send a pot of wine if he thought others told a good story.
The restaurant sometimes invites storytellers to tell stories.
Some stories were too old, so An Xiaofu made up some stories based on his experiences and asked storytellers to tell them to everyone, which often won applause from the whole room.
Gradually, An Xiaofu got to know more diners, and he talked more and looked more cheerful.
Old Man An and An Yonglu also came to see him, and saw An Xiaofu running up and down, sweating profusely, but full of energy.
This look was completely different from when he was in the family.
An Yonglu sighed and felt relieved.
Old Man An glanced at him, his expression somewhat helpless.
He didn't want the An family to continue to run a restaurant, but his son and grandson seemed to only have the ability to run a restaurant.
They didn't have the ambition to open a tool refining business or an alchemy business.
They didn't have the means to fight openly and secretly with the Qian family.
According to this situation, their An family would probably only be able to run a restaurant for the rest of their lives...
But An Xiaofu thought there was nothing wrong with running a restaurant.
I can eat enough, and I can also feed others, and I can also let everyone eat well.
But he occasionally hesitated, so he asked Mo Hua:
"If I open a restaurant for a lifetime, will others look down on me..."
Mo Hua thought for a while and said: "There are hundreds of professions in the cultivation world, and each has its own strengths. It is amazing to be able to do everything to the extreme. If you can open restaurants all over the nine states of the cultivation world, so that everyone can eat meat, who dares to look down on you?"
An Xiaofu was stunned. He didn't think so far.
"Kiushe is so big, can it really be opened everywhere?" An Xiaofu was a little confused.
"I guess not." Mo Hua said, "But how do you know if you don't try it?"
An Xiaofu nodded and silently made up his mind.
Although he was at a low level at this time and there was only one restaurant, he would work hard to open many, many restaurants so that everyone could eat meat and drink happily!
After the opening of Fushanlou, it gradually got on the right track, and a month later, it was the New Year.
There was still half a month before the Chinese New Year, and the alchemy shop was completely completed.
Master Ban settled the spiritual stone payment, and the craftsmen could go home happily for the Chinese New Year.
Before leaving, Master Ban brought some leading craftsmen to visit Mo Hua and gave some New Year gifts to show his gratitude.
If Mo Hua had not drawn the formation quickly and well, they estimated that such a large Taoist building would not be completed until after the Chinese New Year.
In this way, either they can't go home for the New Year, or they go back without spiritual stones, and this New Year will be difficult.
Master Ban praised Mo Hua, and Mo Shan and Liu Ruhua were also very happy, so they invited Master Ban and his friends to have a meal together.
Everyone had a lively meal and drank a lot of wine.
After the meal, Master Ban and his friends were about to set off.
Before leaving, Master Ban specifically told Mo Hua that if he needed a craftsman, he could just look for him, and he would never cut corners and guarantee Mo Hua's satisfaction.
He also asked Mo Hua to go to Qingxuan City next door when he had time, and he would take Mo Hua to visit and see the local customs and customs.
Mo Hua nodded in response and waved goodbye to Master Ban.
A group of craftsmen and artisans gradually went away.
They carried storage bags on their backs and pushed a small wooden cart with a dilapidated storage box on the cart. The tools that could not be put in the box were piled aside in twos and threes.
Just like that, they walked step by step, through the bluestone streets, out of the gate of Tongxian City, and set out on the road home in a dusty state.
Mo Hua stood at the door, watching their backs as they went away, and waved goodbye.
I hope they can go home safely and have a good New Year.
I also hope that from now on, they can go home safely every year and celebrate the New Year happily.
Ten days later, every family in Tongxian City was preparing for the New Year.
The streets were decorated with lights and colors, and there was a festive atmosphere.
This may be the richest and most lively year for ordinary casual cultivators in Tongxian City in the past hundred years, or even hundreds of years.
The basic cultivation industry is already complete.
The weapon refining industry refines spiritual weapons, the alchemy industry refines elixirs, and the Fushan Building can cook meat.
With spiritual weapons, demon hunters can suffer less injuries, with elixirs, low-level casual cultivators can have fewer patients, and with the dining building, everyone's diet can also be improved.
Moreover, whether it is a weapon refinery, an alchemy shop or a blessed restaurant, they can help casual cultivators make a living or earn spiritual stones.
Whether it is a demon hunter, a weapon refiner, an alchemist, a chef or just an ordinary casual cultivator, they can have a stable job and earn spiritual stones for life and cultivation.
Food, clothing and daily expenses are also better than before.
So this year, it is particularly rich and naturally very lively.
The streets are full of cultivators, and there is a constant stream of people coming and going.
The market is everywhere, and the stalls have a variety of goods, which are dazzling, and there is everything for eating, drinking and playing.
There are many ingenious toys, unique snacks, fragrant wine, and colorful juggling.
Infected by this noisy atmosphere, Mo Hua also became happy.
It is difficult for cultivators to seek the truth and make a living.
Mo Hua can't do other things. What he can do is to make the lives of casual cultivators in Tongxian City better within his ability.
He had been taken care of by many neighbors and uncles and aunts since he was a child.
Now that he has learned the formation, he naturally wants to help everyone.
Thinking of this, Mo Hua couldn't help but feel lucky.
Fortunately, there is a Taoist stele in his sea of consciousness, and fortunately, he learned the formation.
The formation follows the way of heaven, and only the formation can help so many cultivators.
