The news caused a stir throughout the village.
In fact, some people have tried to clear land in the mountains and forests on their own, but the results have been unsatisfactory.
First, there were no suitable tools, making land reclamation too costly; second, even if land reclamation was successful, the land was extremely barren and impossible to grow crops.
What started as wasteland was transformed into top-quality farmland in no time thanks to Manager Rong's magical powers.
The villagers couldn't help but marvel at the incredible skill of the immortals. As a result, many villagers gave up on clearing land for themselves.
They never expected that the inn would allocate fertile land to them for cultivation. It should be noted that in the Great Ye Kingdom, the best land was primarily controlled by aristocratic families or local gentry.
They've spent most of their lives working the land, and even now that they have a job at the inn, the land remains their greatest source of peace of mind.
Unfortunately, the conditions for contracting land were quite strict. Manager Rong had a sharp eye and could tell at a glance who was good at managing land.
Even so, everyone's gratitude towards the inn was even greater.
They knew the shop manager didn't want to act like an immortal, so he could only secretly set up a longevity tablet for An Ge at home.
Under the big tree at the entrance of the village, a lot of people gathered because of the news about the inn.
"Old Li, I heard you've contracted several acres of fertile land. With your skills, life will be even better from now on." They had heard that after contracting the farmland, they only needed to give 20% of the output to the inn, and they could keep the rest for themselves.
It should be noted that even when the taxes on Daye were at their lightest, they still had to pay 60%.
Moreover, the inn provided them with high-yield seeds, so they won't have to worry about food in the future.
Old Li took a puff of his pipe, a smile spreading across his wrinkled face. "Not at all, not at all. Five of your family members have become full-time employees at the inn, and their salaries are quite high. I envy you. You can just wait to enjoy your retirement."
Although almost every family has someone working at the guesthouse, it is rare for one family to have five people working there.
"Haha, we'll have good days ahead of us."
Everyone chatted and laughed, their words filled with anticipation.
To everyone's surprise, an even bigger surprise awaited them.
Because the second wave of recruitment for the Fairy Inn has begun.
As soon as Xiu Niang got off work, she rushed home, her face flushed with anxiety.
"Xiuniang, what's wrong? Drink some water!" Zhuzi was worried when he saw his wife panting heavily.
Could something have happened at the inn?
"Zhu Zi, the inn is hiring again, this time they're hiring a carpenter, I think you could give it a try!" Her husband was a well-known carpenter in the surrounding area before the accident.
Zhu Zi was somewhat dazed, and asked with a mix of excitement and self-doubt, "Me, can I do it?"
Xiu Niang nodded affirmatively, "The shop manager is very kind to people. Uncle Da Dong is quite old, yet he can still work at the gate. What's your inconvenience?" Xiu Niang knew that her husband was much more cheerful now and didn't have as many concerns as before.
"Then...then shall I give it a try?"
"Hmm!" What Xiu Niang didn't say was that she planned to save enough money to let Zhu Zi soak in the Holy Spring. Even if it couldn't completely heal her husband's leg, it could at least reduce his pain.
When the news of Zhu Zi's acceptance of the job arrived, this man, whose life had been filled with hardship, did not cry when his leg was crippled, nor when his hometown was flooded, but he burst into tears because of the inn's offer of employment.
That day, Xiu Niang's house was filled with laughter and joy.
The whole village was bustling with activity, just like during the Lunar New Year, because of the recruitment drive.
Some elderly people felt an urge to shed tears upon seeing this scene.
They've lived to this age and never expected to encounter such good fortune; even in times of peace and prosperity, this is nothing special.
When they're in a good mood, they feel like they could easily live another ten or twenty years.
They have many good days ahead of them, and they are reluctant to leave.
As the weather gradually gets colder, more and more merchants are traveling south from the north. Many people are taking advantage of the snow blocking the mountains to quickly transport their last batch of goods south, and inns are also experiencing a surge in customers.
Meanwhile, business in all sectors of Huaixi City is booming, especially inns and restaurants, which are almost always full every day.
Since the appearance of the Fairy Inn, the restaurants and inns that were initially most affected in terms of business were the ones that suffered the most.
If it were an ordinary inn, they wouldn't be so helpless if they joined forces. But this was an inn run by immortals; only a madman would target it.
Moreover, the accommodations and food there were several levels above theirs. If they weren't so unwilling to accept their fate, they would have even wanted to go to the Immortal Inn to experience the life of immortals.
But soon they understood what the arrival of the immortals meant for Huaixi City.
On the one hand, the population of Huaixi City is increasing, and their customers are also increasing accordingly. On the other hand, being close to the source, they have an advantage, and the immortals are intentionally providing them with a way out. Those rare and magical items are sold in many inns and restaurants in Huaixi City.
In just a few months, the inns and restaurants throughout Huaixi City have improved significantly in terms of both accommodation and food, showing a trend of surpassing even the capital and other bustling cities.
This year is different from previous years; a considerable number of these guests are members of the martial arts world.
Everywhere you look, you can see guests dressed in martial arts attire, carrying swords and knives.
At first, the shopkeepers were a little scared, but seeing that these gangsters didn't cause any trouble, they let it go.
Anyway, they have the protection of immortals here, so these martial arts practitioners don't dare to do anything.
In the lobby of an inn in Huaixi City, a thin, pale-faced man coughed occasionally, covering his mouth with his hand. He looked like a frail scholar, but his attire as a江湖人士 (jianghu person, someone who travels the martial arts world) attracted the attention of many people.
"Tsk, a sickly guy like him trying to join in the fun? Doesn't he know how to spell the word 'death'?" The burly swordsman slammed his sword on the table with a "bang," clearly looking down on the pretty-boy-looking man.
The man seemed somewhat guilty after being spoken to, and was anxious to explain, but he kept coughing, and his handsome face turned red.
"How can you be like this? What business is it of yours if someone goes to the Holy Spring for treatment?" A voice suddenly came from the corner, speaking out in defense of others.
The swordsman was clearly displeased at being humiliated, but before he could get angry, he saw who had spoken, muttered a few words, and swallowed his anger.
That outfit clearly belonged to Mingyue Manor; he couldn't afford to offend them.
The man took a breath, stood up, and cupped his hands in thanks: "My name is Gu Wen. Thank you for your help, young lady."
Zheng Ting waved her hand dismissively and said, "Young master, you don't need to pay attention to such uncouth people. Are you also going to the Immortal Fate Inn?"
"That's exactly what I was thinking. I've heard that there's a sacred spring at the Immortal's Fate Inn that can cure all diseases, and that's exactly what I'm going there to seek treatment for."
Upon hearing the mention of the Holy Spring, Zheng Ting's eyes lit up. "Looking at how frail you are, why didn't you bring a few people with you when you went to the Immortal Fate Inn? I heard the Holy Spring can also beautify and nourish the skin, I..."
"Ahem, Senior Sister Zheng, what did Master tell you before you left? Have you forgotten?" another woman interjected to stop her.
Zheng Ting pursed her lips, seemingly extremely dissatisfied with the woman.
"I'm sorry, Senior Sister Zheng didn't mean it." Shi Xinyi was dressed in white, her face veiled with a thin gauze, revealing only her large eyes. Her gentle voice attracted everyone's attention.
Gu Wen shook his head, not taking it to heart.
The brief incident did not dampen anyone's spirits, and they continued discussing the Fairy Inn.
