Chapter 330 Doing the Best (1/2)

Chapter 330 Doing one's best

The day before the auction, in the house rented by Xiao Yan, Xiao Yixian sat at the table with a pen in her hand, looking at the account on the table. Xiao Yan walked over and asked softly.

"Xiao Yixian, how is it?"

"Well, just barely." Xiao Yixian turned the pen in her hand and answered softly: "Excluding various costs and the guard fees that will be added later, it is just enough to cover the rent of the restaurant and this house in a month."

Xiao Yixian naturally calculated the income of the restaurant in the past month. It has been open for more than 20 days. On average, the net profit per day is only about 100,000. After 20 days, it is more than 2 million. According to this estimate, it is about 3 million per month, and it can earn 600,000 per month.

But don't forget, this is not counting the hiring fee of the guards. According to the price Xiao Yan asked before, the base price of the Grand Fighter level is 500,000 per month. Excluding this, it can earn 100,000 per month.

Fortunately, there is no need to consider the issue of employee wages, otherwise it will have to pay money.

It sounds like a lot, but in the Black Horn Region, this amount of money is really nothing.

Fortunately, because I run a restaurant, my daily expenses are not very high, otherwise I wouldn't have even 100,000 left.

As expected, Black Horn Region is not a place to open a restaurant, and it's only one step away from losing money.

"But at least it's enough to let these children live a stable life." Xiao Yixian said, turning her head slightly and looking at Xiao Yan with a smile, "Congratulations, the original goal has been achieved."

Xiao Yan shrugged and smiled slightly.

"It's the first time to open a restaurant, and it's in Black Horn Region. It's good to not lose money. After staying for a while, I want to find a way to sign a long-term agreement with those material suppliers, and then the cost can be reduced a lot."

"Let's talk about this later." Xiao Yixian leaned back in the chair and glanced at the kitchen, "The key question now is, what should I do next?"

"Uh"

Xiao Yan's expression froze, and he looked at the kitchen with some fear.

Just after returning today, Feng Qing'er proposed that she would cook today's dinner on the grounds that today was her last day here, which could be regarded as making up for her regrets for nearly a month.

After staying here for almost a month, I only learned to cook. If Feng Qing'er doesn't learn it, she will be miserable.

"It should be. No problem, right?" Xiao Yan's mouth twitched, "I heard Wen Xing say that the food she cooked recently is edible."

"It's just edible, it doesn't mean it's not bad."

The little doctor shrugged lightly, obviously not optimistic about Feng Qing'er's cooking skills.

At this time, Lu Qiong came to Xiao Yan, raised her head and whispered.

"Brother Xiao Yan"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Xiao Yan squatted down and looked at Lu Qiong in front of him with a smile.

Lu Qiong and Lu Jing were the two children who made Xiao Yan stay here in the first place. It can be said that the series of things Xiao Yan did were caused by Lu Qiong and Lu Jing.

Or, it was because of their sister Lu Yao.

Lu Qiong glanced at Lu Jing who was writing and communicating with other children, and took Xiao Yan to the corner with her little hand.

Then Lu Qiong asked in a trembling voice in Xiao Yan's puzzled eyes.

"Brother Xiao Yan, I want to ask, how is my sister now?"

"."

Xiao Yan's body suddenly trembled, but he was not surprised by Lu Qiong's question.

This is also natural. It has been almost a month. He and Xiao Yixian have not mentioned Lu Yao's whereabouts except at the beginning. It is natural for Lu Qiong to ask.

And now, Xiao Yan is hesitant about this matter.

Should I tell Lu Qiong the truth? How long can I keep it secret?

Just when Xiao Yan was hesitating in his heart, Lu Qiong took the initiative to speak.

I saw Lu Qiong take a deep breath, with deep sadness in his eyes, and asked in a deep voice.

"Sister. Already dead, right?"

? ! !

Xiao Yan's pupils suddenly contracted, and Lu Qiong continued.

"If you and Sister Xiao Yixian were really asked by my sister to take care of us, there is no need to do this."

"Rent a house for us, help us open a restaurant, and teach us knowledge."

"Sister should not know such a person."

To be more precise, it is impossible to know such a person.

Who is Lu Yao?

She is a thief who can be found everywhere in the Black Horn Region, the lowest of the lowest. No one would care if she died.

How could such a person know Xiao Yan, who spent money and time to help these children without asking for anything in return?

Xiao Yan lowered his head, his hair covering his eyes.

"When did you realize it?"

"Maybe, I felt it from the beginning." Lu Qiong whispered, "Sister has always told me that if she doesn't come back one day, I will use the money she left to find a way to take Xiao Jing to live."

"Sister herself should have felt it a long time ago."

Lu Qiong's voice fell, and there was no sound anymore. Xiao Yan didn't know what to say.

After a long time, he could only whisper.

"I'm sorry, I kept it from you all."

"Hmm." Lu Qiong shook her head slightly, "If it weren't for Brother Xiao Yan and Sister Xiao Yixian, Xiao Jing and I might have died a long time ago."

"I don't know how you and Sister Xiao Yan met, but... thank you so much for taking care of me for the past month."

Lu Qiong bowed deeply to Xiao Yan.

"The only thing I can do in return is to thank you."

Xiao Yan looked at Lu Qiong who bowed her head to thank him, and his heart could not help but feel throbbing. He stretched out his hand and gently rubbed Lu Qiong's hair.

"That's enough." Xiao Yan said softly with a gentle look in his eyes: "When I come back from the auction tomorrow, I will take you to see Lu Yao. There is no word on her tombstone."

". Yeah."

Lu Qiong nodded slightly, Xiao Yan smiled and stood up.

"Cheer up, your sister definitely doesn't want to see you so sad, and you still have to eat the meal made by your sister Qing'er~"

"Uh!"

Xiao Yan's words made Lu Qiong's face look ugly instantly.

Although it was not him who taught Feng Qing'er to cook, he was also someone who often went in and out of the kitchen. Lu Qiong was the person who knew how bad Feng Qing'er's cooking was, except for Xiao Yan, Xiao Yixian and Wen Xing.

After a while, at dinner time, the children sat at the table, watching Feng Qing'er bring up the meals one after another, and Xiao Yan also glanced at the appearance of these dishes.

Well, at least, it looks fine.

Xiao Yan just thought so, and Xiao Yu's figure immediately appeared in his mind.

Wait, could Feng Qing'er have evolved to the same level of cooking skills as her sister?

The dishes look delicious, but in fact, they are completely murderous!

Just when Xiao Yan was sweating profusely, Feng Qing'er, who had already served all the dishes, put her hands on her hips and proudly puffed out her chest.

"Eat~ I guarantee with my reputation that today's dishes are absolutely fine!"

Feng Qing'er's confident look can really make people feel relieved.

But don't forget that when she first started cooking, Feng Qing'er was equally confident.

"Let me taste it first." Xiao Yan picked up the chopsticks with trembling fingers and reached for the dishes in front of him.

Some things can't be let children eat casually, there must be someone to test the poison, right?

Then Xiao Yan picked up a chopstick of fried potato shreds, stared at it for a long time, and then closed his eyes and resolutely stuffed it into his mouth.

Hmm? !

Xiao Yan opened his eyes with a look of surprise in his eyes.

Tastes normal?

It's edible!!!

Then Xiao Yan tasted several other dishes separately. The results were no exception. Although the taste was not as good as Wen Xing's, it was indeed fine.

The Little Medical Fairy on the side looked at Xiao Yan and asked in a low voice.

"Xiao Yan, how is it?"

"No problem!"

Xiao Yan grinned and gave a thumbs up. The Little Medical Fairy finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Feng Qing'er.

"It's not easy. Finally, a month has not been in vain."

"Of course! I'm a genius!"

Feng Qing'er raised her head proudly. She had never been so arrogant when she was praised by many people for her rapid cultivation before!

However, before Feng Qing'er could be proud for long, an inappropriate voice came into her ears.

"It's just this time. The cooking level is erratic. It's normal this time, but it may not be the case next time."

This sentence made Feng Qing'er's good mood disappear instantly. Without thinking, she looked at Wen Xing angrily.

Except Wen Xing, no one can say such words to her in such an occasion!

"Will you die if you praise me?!"

"I'm trying to stop you from getting too proud!"

Wen Xing replied confidently. As the teacher who taught Feng Qing'er how to cook in the past half month, Wen Xing knew Feng Qing'er's cooking skills very well.

The dishes she cooked today were normal, but tomorrow she might go crazy and make a mistake!

"You!!!"

Feng Qing'er was furious and was about to say something. Seeing that Xiao Yan was about to quarrel, he immediately stood up and pressed Feng Qing'er's shoulders.

"Today is the last day, both of you should bear with it!"

"Hmph!"

Feng Qing'er and Wen Xing both turned their heads away. Xiao Yixian also looked at Feng Qing'er who was angry with the children helplessly, and then clapped her hands.

"Okay, okay, everyone, let's start eating~"

"I'm starting~~~"

After the meal, when Xiao Yixian and Xiao Yan were cleaning up the dishes, the children gathered around Feng Qing'er and called out.

"Sister Qing'er."

"Ah? What's wrong?"

Feng Qing'er bent down slightly and looked at the children in front of her. Liu Yiyi, who was standing in the front, asked in a low voice.

"Sister Qing'er, are you leaving tomorrow?"

"Well, Xiao Yan and I have agreed to stay until the end of this month. I will leave the Black Horn Region tomorrow after I finish my work."

Hearing Feng Qing'er's words, the children's eyes showed reluctance.

Although Feng Qing'er is not as gentle as Xiao Yixian and Xiao Yan, the children can feel that Feng Qing'er is not a bad person.

Even though Feng Qing'er's face showed displeasure every time Xiao Yan asked her to take care of them, she still tried her best to accompany them.

The children are very simple, but because of their simplicity, they can more deeply understand Feng Qing'er's cold words and warm heart.

"Then will Sister Qing'er come back to see us in the future?"

"Huh? Where can I get so much time?"

Feng Qing'er had just said half of her words when her eyes met the children's hopeful eyes, causing her voice to suddenly get stuck in her throat.

Immediately, she curled her lips slightly.

"If I have free time in the future, I will come and take a look."

Feng Qing'er's answer instantly won the cheers of the children.

Looking at the children in front of her who were happy from the bottom of their hearts because of her answer, Feng Qing'er's eyebrows trembled unhappily.

I just said that if I have free time, I didn't say that I must come.

However, Feng Qing'er did not say this.

Humph. That's all. If you come to the Black Corner Territory again in the future, it won't hurt to come and see them.

Thinking like this, the corners of Feng Qing'er's mouth unconsciously raised slightly.

Although I just wanted to repay the favor, I suppressed my temper and stayed here for a month.

But now Feng Qing'er sincerely feels that this period of time seems to be worth remembering~

Medicine City, in the Medicine King’s exclusive hall.

Han Feng, who was covered in a black cloak, leaned on the broken stone chair. His pale golden pupils were slightly dull, and he was still thinking about Xiao Yan in his mind.

She had a strong premonition in her heart that the two people she had bribed had been exposed, and the Soul Palace was likely to find her recently.

The worst-case scenario is that the old man Mu Gu comes to visit him personally.

During this period, will Xiao Yan take the initiative to find him? What should I do if he doesn't come to me?

Are you going to find the next person? Or should we find a way to forcefully bring Xiao Yan here and let him take over the matter?

No. No way.

That matter must not be forced on him, it must be done voluntarily by him.

Han Feng knew very well that this kind of thing must be done willingly by Xiao Yan. Even if he forced Xiao Yan to take it by force or other methods, it would be meaningless.

Once he dies, no one can keep an eye on him except Xiao Yan himself.

In other words, Han Feng had to find a way to make Xiao Yan take over the matter, but he had to be willing to do it.

These two factors are fundamentally contradictory.

But if Xiao Yan takes the initiative to ask for the next step, then there will be no problem.

But the problem is, how to get him to take the initiative?

Han Feng had been thinking about this issue long before today.

However, Han Feng still failed to come up with the answer.

The thing you have to entrust is like ordering a person to die for another unrelated person. No matter how much reward you are given, you may give up at any time when no one can supervise you.

Therefore, all Han Feng can rely on now is that Xiao Yan takes the initiative to find him and take the initiative to accept what he has to entrust.

This hope is quite slim.

Han Feng frowned tightly. If Xiao Yan was really unwilling to accept his commission, then he would have no choice but to contact that person.

But Han Feng really didn't want to contact that person.

Once you contact that person, everything you have done so far will be in vain.

He must be a villain in her mind, a traitor who sincerely stabs her in the back.

Otherwise, it's pointless.

But no matter how much Han Feng thinks or how thorough her plans are, there are always some things that she cannot control.

Everything I can do has been done, and the rest is up to fate.

I can only pray here. Xiao Yan will take the initiative to come to him according to his own wishes and take the initiative to take care of the matter.
