Ji Mingqing, acting with valor, earned the heavens' favor. His soul ascended to join the immortal ranks, becoming an inconspicuous cog in the Celestial Court. By chance, he acquired a piece of ...
Chapter 36
Ji Mingqing has been very busy recently. The sausages are selling better than he expected, and even Cui Ding and Xu Yihe have been drafted by him to serve as soldiers.
"How much meat do you want to chop today?" Cui Ding asked angrily, holding a knife.
"Two hundred kilograms. Chop two hundred kilograms first. I don't have enough sausage casings here. I need to contact Zhao Yu to buy some first." Ji Mingqing said while stirring the meat filling with his hands.
Although not many people come to play with the train in the past two days, the grilled sausages next to the train have been very popular for a while. When people come, they may just want to try one, and when they leave, they take away ten or twenty sausages. The supply is really in short supply.
"I think I need to find some help. This won't work. I don't have time to do anything else." Ji Mingqing prepared the meat filling and asked Cui Ding beside him, "I want to recruit some new immortals. Where can I find them?"
"What did you say? Boss, speak louder." Cui Ding held two kitchen knives in his hands, making the sound of chopping meat. He could only watch Ji Mingqing open his mouth to him, but could not hear clearly what he was saying.
Ji Mingqing slapped his forehead and motioned Cui Ding to stop for a moment. "I'm just asking where you can find workers."
"Just write down what needs to be done to recruit workers, and then go to Yuexian Pavilion and hang up a notice."
Yuexian Pavilion is truly almighty. "I'm just asking if any of your colleagues are looking for a job. I'm going out to buy something soon, so I'll just hang up a notice at Yuexian Pavilion on my way there."
"Yes, yes, yes. I remembered it as soon as you mentioned it." He has not been at home recently, and his subordinates have been extremely lazy. It is a good time to ask them to help Ji Mingqing.
Maybe it can help me do more work.
"I know quite a few people. Just tell me who you need and I'll call them all." Cui Ding assured, "They're all decent people. I can guarantee it."
"That's good. I'm going to find a few more this time." Ji Mingqing said, then he spread out his fingers and counted, "We need one more person for the train, and two more for the restaurant. Do you know anyone who can cook? I really can't do it all by myself."
As the number of customers increased, Ji Mingqing became powerless, but he always wanted to prevent his formula from being leaked, so he always chose to do it himself. Later, when he got the scroll in Yuexian Pavilion, Ji Mingqing had a flash of inspiration.
It would be better to just put some restrictions in the employment agreement so that he can teach the formula to others without worrying about it being leaked.
Heaven can help watch over it.
"Someone who can cook? There is such a person, but he may not come." Cui Ding really didn't know anyone who could cook. He only knew people who could fight.
However, Kunze Palace should have a chef, but he has no final say on matters concerning Kunze Palace, so he has to ask the Lord first.
Ji Mingqing was concerned. "Then please ask them for me. If they are willing to work, they can come. If there are not enough people, I will go to Yuexian Pavilion to recruit more people." After that, Ji Mingqing smiled at Cui Ding and said, "I still trust you more."
Hearing this, Cui Ding felt a sense of responsibility, "Don't worry, I'll take care of this!"
The next morning, when Ji Mingqing was about to go out, he saw a storage bag on the table.
This storage bag is not his. He keeps all his storage bags on him and never puts them on the table so casually.
Ji Mingqing picked up the storage bag with full of doubts, and then cautiously reached inside. This exploration gave him a shock.
How can there be so much money!
The storage bag is filled with fairy beads and fairy stones. The total amount of fairy stones in it is almost as much as his current wealth.
Ji Mingqing held the storage bag in his hand and was suddenly at a loss.
This thing should be handed over to the police, but there are police in the fairy world. He knows that only the Lord has functions similar to those of the police. But he can't take this storage bag directly to Kunze Palace to hand it in.
No, he is now in Anding Palace. If anything unusual happens, the immortals in Anding Palace should also find it. The protective measures here are not fake.
Besides, did this person come to where he lived just to give money? What kind of weird habit is this?
Thinking of this, Ji Mingqing felt uneasy. He walked out the door, thought for a while, and knocked on Lu Jiyao's door again.
At this time, Lu Jiyao was practicing sword dancing in the yard. When he heard the knock on the door, he came out with a sword in hand. Ji Mingqing looked at the weapon in Lu Jiyao's hand that was shining with cold light, and his heart suddenly felt a lot more at ease.
"I just want to ask, did you feel anything unusual last night?"
"What's unusual?" Lu Jiyao looked confused after hearing Ji Mingqing's question, which made Ji Mingqing even more certain that the immortal who gave him money must be more powerful than Lu Jiyao.
Moreover, after the work was done on Anding Palace, there was no reaction to any foreign invasion. Even if he asked, he would definitely not get any answer.
But what was this person trying to achieve? Ji Mingqing didn't understand.
Ji Mingqing casually found an excuse to leave. On the road from Anding Palace to Fengxi Garden, the storage bag in Ji Mingqing's hand was like a hot potato, making him at a loss.
After arriving at the restaurant, Cui Ding came forward and said, "Boss, I found a few people and a chef. They should be here tomorrow."
"Really? That's great. Have you told them about the monthly salary?" Ji Mingqing looked dying, but he still cheered up and replied.
"They all agreed, but they have to deal with some things at home today." For example, handing over patrol work or something. This time, Cui Ding looked for all his subordinates, except for Xu Yi and the people over there.
This time Xu Yihe couldn't defeat him.
"Okay, then let them come early tomorrow." Ji Mingqing forced a smile.
Cui Ding didn't notice anything unusual about Ji Mingqing. Instead, Xu Yihe felt that something was wrong with Ji Mingqing today. However, he had no intention of delving into Ji Mingqing's private affairs, so he could only ignore it.
Ji Mingqing returned to the courtyard alone and saw Xiaowan lying on the table, then he started talking.
"Xiao Wan, guess what happened to me!" After hearing Ji Mingqing's voice, Bai Cangze withdrew his spiritual sense and raised his eyes slightly to look at Ji Mingqing.
"Someone sent me money. There was no storage bag on the table last night, but when I opened my eyes this morning, there was a storage bag on the table. There was so much money in it, almost catching up with the total amount I earned in the fairy world in the past few months."
Bai Cangze moved his paws and stood up. Ji Mingqing knew that he was interested, so he quickly sat next to him, and the two of them got closer.
"Who do you think I should give this money to? I definitely can't accept it. It's not my money. I dare not tell anyone else. What if others think I stole it?" Ji Mingqing was worried.
"Are there any patrol teams in the fairy world?" Ji Mingqing looked at Xiaowan with a worried look on his face. "What should I do? I really don't know who to talk to."
Bai Cangze thought about it and figured out the key.
The person who stole Ji Mingqing's recipe should have made a profit from it, but he did not expect that Ji Mingqing would sign a contract with the Heavenly Dao. He just thought that he was an immortal who had just entered the immortal world and knew nothing.
Bai Cangze pressed his claws on the storage bag that Ji Mingqing had been holding tightly. He smelled a familiar scent again. This scent was the unique smell emitted by the Father God when he used the formation before.
Bai Cangze wanted to tell Ji Mingqing, but he swallowed the words that were about to come out. After all, in Ji Mingqing's eyes, he was a cat that couldn't talk.
"You said this money is so hot in my hands. What if someone falsely accuses me of stealing it? Wouldn't I feel wronged?" Ji Mingqing leaned on the table and said weakly, "I never thought that I would have such troubles even though I have money."
At this moment, there was an immortal thousands of miles away who was furious. He was mobilizing everyone in the palace to find his lost storage bag.
"Where's my money? Where did my money go?" The man was holding his waist and cursing, "If I catch you stealing the money, you'll be sent to Mount Fuyu to suffer ten thousand years of torture!"
"And if you can't find it, forget about this month's salary!"
