Since he recovered, Chen Xiao has been eating three meals a day, plus afternoon tea and supper. He did the same when he came to Fan Village. The former Feng Shui master didn't intend to let his mouth down, so of course he would choose good food.

On the first day after returning home, he asked Sanshuan to go to the village evening market to buy a small piece of meat, and bought some fine noodles for his aunt to make steamed buns. He called it improving the family's life, but he ate more than anyone else.

He was at an age where he could eat a lot, and the Chen family thought he was still practicing martial arts, so even though he ate a lot and got hungry quickly, they didn't think it was strange.

Aunt and Ershun cooked pancakes and noodles for him in various ways, with meat and oil in almost every meal. Chen Changgen and Sanshuan even went to their neighbors to exchange some sweet potatoes, roasted them for him in the afternoon and evening, for fear that he would be too hungry to sleep at night. During the few days he was at Chen's house, Sibao knew to go to the mountains to pick up nuts that fell last year for him to eat.

Chen Xiao also felt very embarrassed. You know, the custom in the village is to eat two meals. This disrupted the routine. But there was nothing he could do. As soon as the time came, the glutton in his stomach would rebel. He also tried to endure it. But his stomach was twitching with hunger, and his heart was still panicking. He couldn't bear it at all.

Fortunately, the food in this village is cheap, otherwise, eating like this would make the Chen family members heartbroken even if it was not their own money.

After eating like this for a few days, the situation suddenly changed the next day after the house was renovated. Chen Xiao ate as usual that morning, and he didn't realize it at noon. It was not until afternoon tea that he realized that at this time, he didn't feel like eating.

So he skipped the afternoon tea and supper and gave them to Sanshuan and Sibao. He carefully felt it before going to bed and found that he was no longer so hungry that he couldn't sleep.

The next day, before he could figure anything out, something happened at the Wu family, implicating him and the Chen family. After all this trouble, not only did he miss lunch, but he also missed afternoon tea time.

Chen Xiao was already too hungry to feel anything. With this proof, he was sure that he had gotten rid of his inexplicable ability to eat.

He only did one special thing during those two days, which was to arrange the Feng Shui layout of the Chen family. This was incredible to Chen Xiao, as he had never heard that Feng Shui could fill one's stomach.

Until tonight, he still didn't feel abnormally hungry. Chen Xiao didn't dare to jump to conclusions. It remained to be seen whether his body had recovered or was just temporarily healed.

The next morning, Chen Xiao sat on the stagecoach to the county town. The spacious and comfortable seats made him feel almost uncomfortable. Just like sitting on a high-speed train, he could adjust the backrest. Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel fortunate for the slightly strange development trend of the world. At least as long as he was willing to spend money, he would not suffer when he went out.

It was already late when he returned to the county town, so he had to rush to the shopkeeper's house first to cancel his leave and get the key to the store.

The shopkeeper's house was not too far from the antique street, so Chen Xiao gave him the specialties he had bought as a gift. The shopkeeper said to him politely, "I thought you would come back two days later. The immortal sect is recruiting disciples, and the family is in a mess. We all understand."

Chen Xiao lowered his hands and said with a smile, "Things went pretty smoothly. I didn't dare to delay the work in the store, so I hurried back."

The head shopkeeper nodded and said, "You are very calculating, smart, and good at dealing with people. This time, when you come back, you will be promoted to a senior clerk. Go work with the shopkeeper of the Qi Ding cabinet, and start as a clerk."

This is simply pie in the sky!

Chen Xiao was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly said: "Thank you for your cultivation, boss! But I am really ignorant, and I don't know how I won the favor of the boss. Please give me some advice, so that I can keep up the good work." This is definitely not something that can be achieved with just a bag of specialty. There must be a reason why it happened so suddenly.

The head shopkeeper raised his head and laughed, pointing at Chen Xiao: "I've always said that you are a shrewd kid. Let me be frank. I happened to mention it to the boss about your return to your hometown to participate in the immortal sect's disciple selection. You are lucky that the boss is very interested in you and wants to ask you questions. You should prepare for the next two days and think carefully about how to respond when the time comes."

The shopkeeper mentioned Chen Xiao's matter, originally intending to lay the groundwork in front of the boss. When Chen Xiao came back, he would ask about the selection of disciples of the immortal sect and tell the boss as an interesting story. Unexpectedly, the boss was very interested this time and wanted to meet Chen Xiao directly, which also caught the shopkeeper off guard.

So that's what it is. The boss wanted to call him over for a private talk. No wonder the head manager suddenly promoted him.

Although he was just a small clerk, the other party was the head of the Taxue Xunxian Pavilion, and the boss would definitely trust him more. However, if this clerk said something unpleasant during this private meeting, it would also make people unhappy. It was just a piece of cake to promote Chen Xiao. After the favor, Chen Xiao was smart and knew what to do.

As expected, Chen Xiao immediately said, "I understand. I will keep in mind the training of the shopkeeper and will definitely not fail to perform well in front of the boss."

The head shopkeeper nodded with satisfaction: "You can go back now. It's getting late. Besides, since you have been promoted to a cashier, you won't have to be on duty at night in the future. Next time you have a day off, find a house and move in."

The daily salary of a counter clerk is higher than that of a low-level clerk or an ordinary senior clerk, which is 150 copper coins per day. A qualified counter clerk usually has a certain knowledge of antiques and can conduct transactions with customers alone. He is considered a mid-level employee on the antique street.

Although he regretted the job of working the night shift where he could earn money just by lying down and sleeping, Chen Xiao behaved himself and said nothing. He just agreed in a low voice and left.

Anyway, the house has a bad orientation, it's so cold in winter and must be very damp in summer. It's better to rent a house by myself, so that what I do won't attract attention.

The next day, Chen Xiao was transferred to the utensil cabinet. Zhao Erhu was very envious of this change. However, he himself admitted that he did not have Chen Xiao's spirit of studying hard and studying hard even if others looked down on him.

The owner of the Qi Ding counter and another clerk were quite welcoming to him. Chen Xiao's arrival was like a small promotion for both of them. The clerks could go to see more expensive booths, and the owner didn't have to stare at the counter all day, which made it easier.

Chen Xiao showed his thick skin and flattered the shopkeeper and the clerk, and gave most of the specialties he bought to them. He still needed to ask them about the knowledge of the utensil cabinet, so he had to curry favor with these two teachers.

The cashiers had two days off a month, but all the cashiers in the store had to take turns taking the days off. Before Chen Xiao got his first day off, he was called back to his boss's office.

The owner's surname was Pang, and his name was Hemu. He was a plump man in his thirties. Chen Xiao had seen him several times in the store, and had also toasted him with others at a celebration party for a big order.

But noble people tend to forget things easily, and Pang Hemu obviously didn't remember his face or name. But when someone mentioned the one who ate the most, he was more impressed.

Pang Hemu was the only son in his generation. Therefore, his parents were reluctant to send him away, and since he had no outstanding talents, they decided to let him stay in his hometown and become a rich man.

Perhaps the more you can't get it, the more you want it. Pang Hemu has been obsessed with legends and traces of immortals since he was a teenager. He often travels on business and when he hears of any signs of immortals passing by a place, he goes to take a look.

Now he is married and has two sons and one daughter. These three children are not very talented and do not meet the standards of the immortal sect to accept disciples. This disappointed Pang Hemu, who wanted his children to become successful and wanted to send his children to practice immortal cultivation one day. As a result, he became more interested in the immortal sect to accept disciples.

The rules for recruiting disciples in these immortal sects are quite strict. People who are not related to the young men and women who are selected are not allowed to come close to watch. In addition, most of these immortal sects recruit disciples every ten years. Therefore, Pang Hemu did not have many opportunities to see it with his own eyes.

This time, it had been several years since he last saw a sect accepting disciples. Otherwise, he wouldn't have called a servant to his home and asked him personally.

The procedures for selecting disciples in the immortal sects are actually similar. However, Chen Xiao knows how to satisfy the hearts of fans like Pang Hemu, and makes the already tortuous process even more ups and downs and thrilling.

Among all these, the most fascinating thing is Wu Xinzhi's experience. From the original endorsement failure, to the re-election list where he was clearly on the list but was replaced by someone else, to the unexpected turn of events where the immortal master personally intervened. This was already a plot of the play, and Pang Hemu was very satisfied to hear it. But he didn't expect that the content behind it would be even more jaw-dropping. The Fan family slandered the Wu family for the re-election, which led to the immortal master to question the Chen family.

Of course, in this tortuous and bizarre story, Chen Xiao would not mention anything related to Feng Shui.

In Fan Village, he could use the excuse that he had learned the art of housing from the antiques of immortals in the Snow Seeking Immortal Pavilion. But in front of this boss, he could not reveal the secret that he could see the aura of the antiques of immortals with his own eyes. Therefore, he did not mention Feng Shui or anything like that.

Even so, after the whole story was told, Pang Hemu was still very excited.

"It's so satisfying! It's so satisfying!" He slapped his thigh without complaining about the pain. "I really wish I could be there and see it with my own eyes! Alas - it's a pity that I was not in the county town at that time and missed it! What a pity, what a pity - I really don't know how charming the two immortal masters were at that time."

Pang Hemu was lost in thought for a while before he came back to his senses. During this time, Chen Xiao sat on a chair beside him and drank tea silently.

Pang Hemu looked at Chen Xiao and said, "This is such a wonderful experience. Nothing I've seen before can compare to it. I have to reward you well——"

Chen Xiao quickly declined: "I don't deserve it! Boss, it's just a little bit of my experience. It's my honor to make you laugh."

Pang Hemu laughed and said, "This kind of happiness is rare. Don't refuse, this is what you deserve." After saying that, he turned around and called the butler to give instructions.

Chen Xiao stopped talking. He had just declined the reward. He felt completely at ease with the reward. Even if it was a storyteller, he would still be rewarded after the story was over. Moreover, he had been talking so much that his mouth was dry.

However, he did not expect Pang Hemu to be so generous and actually reward him with a full three hundred silver coins!
