Chapter 36 Stove

Seeing Mo Hua's smile, Master Chen and the others also became happy.

Master Chen couldn't help but praise: "Little brother is really amazing. I have lived for most of my life, but this is the first time I have seen a cultivator as young as you draw a formation."

Mo Hua was a little embarrassed by the praise, and said shyly: "Master Chen, let's see if the stove with the formation drawn on it can be used."

Master Chen called out, and reinstalled the stove with several strong apprentices, threw a few spirit stones into it, and soon, the flames ignited in the stove.

Master Chen nodded and said: "No problem, except that the specifications are a little smaller, this stove is no different from those forged at a high price in the dining hall, and the fire is even more fierce."

Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief, and then Master Chen asked Dazhu and several disciples to deliver the stove to Mo Hua's home.

After discussing with his parents, Mo Hua finally decided to open a restaurant in his own home.

First, it was convenient, and second, the shops near the market were too expensive. Originally, it was a small business, and if it lost money, it would really be a bankruptcy.

Moreover, although most of the people living in Mo Hua's place were poor casual cultivators, it was close to the main road, with a lot of people, and it was also quite lively during festivals. As long as the food was delicious, there was no worry about not being able to sell it.

Mo Hua's house was relatively small, with only an ordinary two-bedroom and one-living room, and a small yard outside, which was the basic layout of a Qi-refining casual cultivator's house. It was OK for a family of three to live in, but it was not enough to open a restaurant.

Mo Shan discussed with several neighbors, paid some spirit stones every month to buy their yard, and then asked friends from the demon hunting team to help, renovated a kitchen, and connected several yards together, so that there was a large open space in the yard, where some tables and chairs could be placed for people to eat and rest.

The stove was a bit big and could not be put into the storage bag, so Dazhu and several disciples carried the stove to Mo Hua's house. When a group of people carried the painter to Mo Shan, Mo Shan and his wife were still cleaning up the yard, digging soil and building walls, and the yard looked a little messy.

Da Zhu and his friends took great pains to help install the stove, then sat down to drink a cup of tea and said goodbye.

Although Mo Hua had promised solemnly before and had always been trustworthy, Mo Shan and his wife still found it unbelievable to see that Mo Hua had really asked someone to forge a stove, and this stove was right in front of them.

Liu Ruhua touched the stove and said, "It looks similar to those in the big dining hall, just a little smaller, but obviously more solid and more delicately made, but it must cost a lot of spirit stones."

"I helped Master Chen fix the formation in the refining furnace, and he gave me a 50% discount, and the formation in this stove was also drawn by me, so it didn't cost too many spirit stones." Mo Hua was a little proud.

Liu Ruhua and Mo Shan looked at each other in surprise. They only knew that Mo Hua had some talent in formations. They didn't expect that Mo Hua could not only help others repair formations, but could even draw formations on spiritual tools by himself.

Liu Ruhua took Mo Hua into her arms and praised, "Hua'er is amazing!"

Mo Shan also looked at his son with relief in his eyes.

He was originally worried about Mo Hua's weak body. Now that he saw Mo Hua's talent in formations, he knew that even if he couldn't refine his body, he would be able to make a living by formations in the future, and he didn't have to take risks like himself to fight monsters, which was naturally the best.

"Mom, I'll tell you how to use the stove."

Mo Hua took Liu Ruhua's hand and told her how to use the stove, the amount of spirit stones to use, and how to control the heat. These are actually not difficult. Liu Ruhua knew it after listening to it once.

Liu Ruhua used the stove to make a dinner, a pot of clear rice porridge, a few simple vegetables, and white and soft steamed buns, simple and delicious.

Mo Hua was deeply moved by the food cooked by his mother, especially since most of the meals at home were cooked by Mo Shan recently, so the taste was self-evident.

Mo Hua said bluntly: "Mom, the food you cook is much better than that of Dad!"

"Little bastard!" Mo Shan rubbed Mo Hua's hair unhappily, and then saw the smile on his wife's face, and couldn't help laughing.

After the family of three finished their meal, Liu Ruhua asked: "It's okay to open a restaurant, but what should we sell?"

Mo Shan and Liu Ruhua both looked at Mo Hua.

Mo Hua met his parents' eyes and said, "Beef!"

Mo Shan was stunned for a while, frowned and said, "Where can we get beef? Meat with spiritual energy is very expensive. We can't afford it. There are only casual cultivators around, and we can't sell the beef."

Mo Hua said, "Dad, didn't you kill a bison before? Just use that meat."

"Bison meat... is too hard, dry and woody, no one wants to eat it."

"Then stew it for two days and two nights. Even the hardest meat should be stewed. As long as it is stewed for a long enough time, it will be tasty."

"Stew for two days and two nights..." Mo Shan couldn't help but turn his eyes to the stove, "So you forged this stove, in addition to allowing your mother to cook without spiritual power, is it also for stewing meat..."

"Yeah!" Mo Hua nodded.

"Will this work?" Mo Shan hesitated.

"It can be done." Liu Ruhua's eyes lit up. "Meat with spiritual power is fresh and tender. It doesn't need to be stewed for too long, otherwise it will lose its spiritual power. But this meat is very expensive. It's not something that families like us can afford."

"Although meat without spiritual power is cheap, it is woody and hard, and needs a long time to stew. Ordinary casual cultivators can afford it, but they don't have the conditions to stew it, so they rarely eat it."

"With this stove, you can stew cheap but delicious meat. Even ordinary casual cultivators can afford it."

Mo Shan nodded, and then said: "But for two days and two nights, it will cost a lot of spiritual stones just to drive the fire."

Mo Hua counted on his fingers, and then said: "It should cost about ten spiritual stones, but a furnace can stew a lot of meat. If it is sold, it should not lose money."

"Okay, I will try to stew a pot tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and then calculate the cost." Liu Ruhua said.

Mo Shan nodded and said: "I will get some more bison meat back. After eating at home, Lao Zhao should have some at home. If this kind of meat can be sold, the meat of hunting monsters will also have a market in the future, and everyone's life will be better."

After speaking, it was getting late, and Liu Ruhua urged Mo Hua to go to bed quickly.

Mo Hua stood up and suddenly thought of a question, and asked:

"Mom, it shouldn't be too difficult to forge a stove, but why do ordinary casual cultivators rarely use it?"

"Silly child," Liu Ruhua touched Mo Hua's face and laughed:

"Let's not talk about refining the equipment. If you don't draw the formation on the stove yourself, how many more spirit stones will it cost to ask other formation masters?"

"It's so difficult to be a formation master. Once you become a formation master, you will naturally want to go further, rely on your family and sect, draw higher-level formations, and earn more spirit stones. How can you care about us poor casual cultivators?"

"Not only formation masters, all cultivators are the same. When people go up, they won't look down..."

Mo Hua's mood was very complicated and he couldn't speak for a while.
