Chapter 42 Chapter 42 Will it work?
Many people noticed this funny scene and laughed:
"The owner of this snack shop is really stupid. How could he open it next to Wangyue Tower? I guess it will close soon."
"Perhaps the owner of this snack bar has his own difficulties. He is also pitiful."
"It's pathetic and useless. Who would go to this crappy restaurant?"
The immortal world suppresses their original desires, while the demon world magnifies them. Although the demons practice fasting, they still have desires for food, so the demon world's restaurant business has always been booming. This period of time happens to be the most prosperous time. The Moon Watching Tower has already been full, but the snack bar opposite it does not have a single diner at a glance.
The Moon-Watching Tower had just opened. The Prince of Jiecheng had been there several times but had never noticed the snack shop next to it. Naturally, he didn't care about the other cultivators' discussions. Someone from the Moon-Watching Tower came out and greeted them repeatedly:
"Oh, Master, why didn't you let me know in advance that you were coming? I'll arrange the best box for you."
The prince of Jiecheng waved his hand: "It's up to you, I just did it on impulse."
"That won't work. I'll go get the shopkeeper."
The monks behind him were dumbfounded. Wangyue Tower had always been arrogant due to its booming business, and they had never seen such warm hospitality when they came here.
"As expected of the prince, he has treated us to a high-end service."
The shopkeeper of Wangyue Tower came out quickly, and his eyes lit up when he saw Prince Jiecheng was followed by a large group of people.
"I'm sorry for neglecting you, my lord. I will arrange the best private rooms for you right away."
Prince Jiecheng nodded and was about to go in when a middle-aged male demon cultivator with a sad face walked out of the shabby snack shop next to him. When he saw Prince Jiecheng and his group of cultivators in front of Wangyue Tower, he opened his mouth and then shrank back.
The shopkeeper of Wangyue Tower spotted him and sneered, "This is the prince of the robbed city. You don't want to attract customers to the prince, do you?"
The male cultivator from the demon clan was obviously the owner of the snack bar. He widened his eyes in panic, obviously frightened by the identity of the prince of Jiecheng.
The Prince of Jiecheng didn't even glance at him. He was just a snack shop owner and was not worthy of his attention.
The shopkeeper of Wangyue Tower surrounded the Prince of Jiecheng and walked into Wangyue Tower, explaining, "We at Wangyue Tower felt sorry for his poor business and wanted to buy his store to expand, but he refused to agree and always wanted to take over our business. Whenever there was someone, he would come to recruit them. It was really infuriating."
The Jiecheng prince casually replied, "It's just a small shop. Would you take it seriously in Wangyue Tower?"
The shopkeeper smiled broadly, "Your Highness is right."
At the last moment of entering the Moon Watching Tower, the last monk suddenly asked, "What is that?"
The Prince of Jiecheng turned around and saw that the monk was looking at the shabby snack shop next to the Wangyue Tower. Following the monk's gaze, he saw a jade plaque hanging in an inconspicuous place in the snack shop.
The monk seemed to be attracted by the jade token and walked into the snack bar unconsciously.
The prince of Jiecheng frowned, but still stopped and waited.
The monk walked into the store, picked up the jade token in confusion, and then his face was filled with shock. He held up the jade token and shouted excitedly, "It's Sang! It's Sang's jade token!"
The prince of Jiecheng was stunned. This time he looked at the jade plate carefully and saw a word engraved on the emerald green jade plate: "Sang".
Moreover, the jade token carries the spiritual energy fluctuations of Sang, which is the spiritual energy that they are very familiar with!
——
The owner of the snack bar walked back into the store with a sad face. There were not many tables and chairs in the store, only a dozen or so, but there was not even one person in these dozen or so.
When his wife saw him coming back with a sad look on his face, she sat down on a chair and sighed, "Didn't you get any customers again?"
The owner shook his head and opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
"That Moon Watching Tower is going too far! They want to take over our restaurant with just a few spirit stones. If we don't agree, they will steal our customers every day. They are trying to outlast us."
The shop owner sighed, "What can we do? They lower the price of whatever we sell. As long as we have customers, they send people to attract them. All the old customers have been recruited by them. We have been able to hold on for more than a month, but now we can't hold on any longer."
He was silent for a long time, "Starting tomorrow... we will close the store."
His wife wanted to say something else, but she opened her mouth, closed it again, and sighed deeply.
As the shop owner sighed, he suddenly heard a puzzled voice outside the door.
'What is that? '
Then, a monk came into the store, walked straight to a dark corner of the store without looking around, and seemed to have discovered something. He raised a jade token and shouted, "It's Sang! It's Sang's jade token!"
The shop owner's wife was full of doubts. She nudged the shop owner and asked, "What is that jade pendant? How come I have never noticed it before?"
The shop owner searched his mind for a long time before he remembered, "It seems that a female cultivator from the immortal world left it in the shop. I just hung it there and forgot about it a long time ago."
If it weren't for the extraordinary temperament of the female immortal cultivator that day, which left a deep impression on him, he would have forgotten the origin of this jade token long ago.
When his wife heard that it was left by a female cultivator from the Immortal Realm, she immediately showed panic in her eyes: "These demons hate female cultivators from the Immortal Realm the most. They won't cause trouble just because of this jade token, right?"
The shop owner's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly comforted himself: "It's okay, I saw that the immortal female cultivator was very polite, so she shouldn't have any enemies."
Although he said it was okay, he now regretted keeping the jade token.
His wife shrank back behind him, her voice a little panicked: "But...but that demon is coming."
The shop owner looked over and saw the monk holding a jade token in his hand, walking towards him quickly with a red face. "Shop owner, who left this jade token?"
While he was speaking, the group of monks outside also walked in and stood behind him. The owner looked carefully and actually saw the Prince of Jiecheng who had just been respectfully received by the owner of Wangyue Tower.
He tried his best to remain calm, stood up straight and replied: "Yes... it was left by a female cultivator from the Immortal Realm."
The shop owner's wife immediately pulled him, obviously scolding him for revealing that the person was a female cultivator from the immortal world all of a sudden, which would only add fuel to the fire of these cultivators.
The shop owner also felt that he had said something wrong, and at this moment he could not even stand steadily, so he said:
"That...that immortal female cultivator only ate at our store once and never came back."
But no one paid attention to his excuse. The monk held the jade token with an excited look on his face: "It really is Sang's!"
The other monks were all excited and pulled him, saying, "Let me touch it, let me touch it."
The jade token was passed around and around until it finally came into the hands of the respectful Prince of Jiecheng, the shopkeeper of Wangyue Tower. The well-dressed, noble and proud prince took the jade token with a calm face, then lowered his head and took a deep breath!
Tao Zui said: "This must have been carved by Sang herself. The jade token is full of her aura!"
The shop owner was stunned. The monks before him were so different from what he had expected.
At this time, the shopkeeper of Wangyue Tower appeared at the door of the store and said respectfully to the prince of Jiecheng: "My lord, the box is ready, please take a look..."
As he said this, he gave the snack shop owner a sneer.
The shop owner lowered his head, not daring to look directly at them. He had only taken a glimpse at them from outside just now, but now that these monks had come in, he realized how many there were. There were more than a hundred of them, but they all came for Wangyue.
Seeing that the prince of Jiecheng was obsessed with a jade token, the shopkeeper of Wangyue Tower could only call out again: "My Lord, the private room is already..."
Before he finished speaking, the prince of Jiecheng looked up with a gloomy face and said, "I will not go to Wangyue Tower. I will eat here today."
The other monks also said in unison: "This is the snack bar where Sang ate. I will definitely eat here."
The shopkeeper of Wangyue Tower twitched his eyes twice, "My Lord, are you kidding me? What good food can there be in this shabby restaurant?"
Prince Jiecheng frowned and was about to speak when he was beaten back by the explosive voice of the snack shop owner's wife.
"What a crappy snack bar! Didn't you hear that this is the snack bar that Sang has eaten at? The one Sang has eaten at must be the best, don't you understand?"
These words resonated strongly with the Prince of Jiecheng and all the monks.
After that, she retreated to the shop owner and asked in a very low voice: "Who is Sang...?"
The owner of the snack shop was also puzzled: "I don't know either. I only know that she is a female cultivator from the immortal world."
The couple who ran the snack shop were so overwhelmed by Wangyue Tower today that they had no time to pay attention to news from the outside world.
The owner of the snack shop didn't know, but the shopkeeper of Wangyue Tower knew who Sang was. A court official who claimed to be an idol could only fool a rich and brainless cultivator like the Prince of Jiecheng.
Although he thought so in his heart, he still bowed respectfully to the Prince of Jiecheng and said, "My Lord, this is just a shabby snack shop. How can it be worthy of your status?"
The brows of the Jiecheng prince were all furrowed, and he looked at him fiercely: "Didn't you hear that the snack shop that Sang ate at is the best? Is it your turn to point fingers here?"
The snack shop owner's wife immediately agreed: "That's right, I will change the sign tomorrow, and our shop will be called 'Sang's Snack Shop' from now on!"
The prince of Jiecheng stroked his hand and said, "Good! You are aware of this."
The owner of Wangyue Tower couldn't have a darker face, but the Prince of Jiecheng was not someone he could afford to offend. He glared at the owner and whispered to him, "So what if you change your name? Even if these hundreds of people support you through today, you won't survive tomorrow."
There were some words he didn't dare to say out loud: he was just a man of the dynasty, what use would he be after today.
The owner of the snack shop opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer. What the owner of Wangyue Tower said was actually quite reasonable. Although there were more than a hundred people, they could not keep his precarious snack shop going.
"Shopkeeper, what are the signature dishes of your restaurant?"
When a monk asked about it, the owner of the snack bar immediately calmed down and came forward to introduce the dishes to the monks.
The Jiecheng Prince waved his hand and said, "Bring up all the dishes in the restaurant. I will pay for everything!"
The Prince of Jiecheng doesn't have many spirit stones on him, so he can't afford to treat the guests at Wangyue Tower, but he can still treat guests at a snack bar like this one.
Amid the warm cheers, the snack shop owner's worried look gradually disappeared and was filled with joy.
He looked at the shop full of monks. Today's order would at least allow them to survive for a few more days.
The prince of Jiecheng and the monks ate while looking at Sang's jade token. When they finished eating, the wife of the snack shop owner had already asked people to carry a sign and install it at the door of the shop.
She was also very quick. After she finished speaking, she went to order the sign and had it made quickly.
The signboard is very eye-catching, and the words "Sang's Snack Shop" are engraved on it in a very beautiful way.
The snack shop owner sighed, "Will it work?"
