Chapter 23
That morning, Ji Mingqing didn't even cook before walking with Xu Yihe to the boundary of his land. Pointing at the boundary marker, Ji Mingqing said, "That's it. Follow the boundary marker and make a big circle around the land, but it would be best if we passed by the restaurant."
"Yes." Xu Yihe said with a bow, "Boss Ji, do you have any other requests?"
Ji Mingqing touched his chin and thought for a moment. "Wide it a bit, maybe this... this wide." Ji Mingqing gestured to the width of four lanes and said, "That's about it."
Xu Yihe asked with a hint of inquiry: "I wonder if Boss Ji has any other plans?"
"Not yet, let's talk about it later!" Ji Mingqing rubbed his fingers and finally reminded: "It must be smooth, but not too smooth, how should I put it..." Ji Mingqing couldn't think of an adjective for a moment, so he simply decided: "How about you show me how far you can go, and then we can discuss it?"
"Alright." Xu Yihe agreed, "Please step back a little, Boss Ji."
After listening to what was said, Ji Ming took a few steps back and let Xu Yihe stand in front of him.
The land construction has started and the dust is flying everywhere, which is really unpleasant if it blinds your eyes.
Unexpectedly, the scene of flying sand and gravel that Ji Mingqing imagined did not appear. Instead, Xu Yihe just raised his hands slightly, and then he heard a rustling sound coming from the ground in front of him, and then he saw the weeds on the ground turn over, and replaced by soil buried deep underground.
Ji Mingqing looked at everything in front of him in amazement, and saw that the land that was full of vitality just now became bare. Then he saw Xu Yihe press down with both hands, and the whole land immediately sank about two centimeters.
"Boss Ji, what do you think of this?" Xu Yihe looked at Ji Mingqing, waiting for Ji Mingqing's evaluation. "It may be a little rough at the moment, but if you give me some more time, I will definitely make it better."
Ji Mingqing didn't say anything, but instead walked forward to take a look. He stepped on the newly paved ground. The ground was very compact, and the surface had become somewhat like asphalt road, slightly rough, but very smooth, although the color was still dark brown. Ji Mingqing jumped on it a few times, and even a trace of dust was not raised.
"That's great!" Ji Mingqing was very satisfied. He squatted down, felt around on the ground with his fingers, and said to Xu Yihe, "Can you fill this dent? It's easy for children to fall if they walk on it with their toys."
"That's certainly possible. Are there any other areas that need improvement?"
Ji Mingqing immediately shook his head: "No more, really no more!"
It really wasn't. Xu Yihe had done better than he had imagined. Ji Mingqing immediately stood up and said, "You don't have to go to the store these two days. Just help me fix the road. Can you finish it within a month?"
Ji Mingqing felt a little nervous after asking this question. This time seemed a bit unreasonable, but he really couldn't wait.
Unexpectedly, after hearing Ji Mingqing's words, Xu Yihe smiled and said, "Just give me a week and I can build all the roads you need."
After listening to it, Ji Ming's eyes lit up, and then he smiled, "Thank you for your hard work!" After that, he took out the storage bag and gave it to Xu Yi and fifty fairy beads.
"Building a road is very hard work. I'll give you a deposit first, and then I'll give you another hundred fairy beads after you finish the work!" After Ji Mingqing said this, his heart was bleeding. This was his biggest expense. Building a restaurant only cost thirty fairy beads.
However, the land area here is large, and a circle around it is almost as long as the overpass, so it is normal to give him more.
"Then I would like to thank you very much, boss." Xu Yi happily accepted the money, and then said to Ji Mingqing, "If you are busy, you can go back now, and leave the rest to me."
Ji Mingqing immediately remembered that he had not cooked this morning, so he quickly gave him a few more instructions to tell him not to work so hard and left in a hurry. When he came back, he saw Cui Ding busy and frantic.
"Don't worry, I'm back." Seeing him like this, Ji Mingqing hurried forward to help, and said at the same time: "Xu Yihe will not be here for the next two days, so we may all be busy."
Ji Mingqing planned to stay here all day and do something else when he returned to Anding Palace in the evening. But Cui Ding quickly served the dishes and came back to suggest, "Should we hire another person?"
Ji Mingqing subconsciously touched his pocket and said, "No, Xu Yihe will be back in a few days. There is no need for us to hire anyone."
Ji Mingqing had just taken out fifty fairy beads and was about to take out another hundred fairy beads. He really had no money left!
Cui Ding was embarrassed, and secretly cursed in his heart: "Xu Yihe really can trick me!"
Xu Yi, who was enjoying himself in his palace, sneezed unexpectedly, then laughed out loud and said to the people around him: "Cui Ding is scolding me."
Xu Yihe felt that he was not being lazy on purpose. It was just that building the road was very simple for him. If he was not worried that Ji Mingqing would notice, he could have told him that it would only take him a quarter of an hour to complete all of Ji Mingqing's requirements.
Xu Yihe thought about it and poured himself another cup of fairy wine. It was Cui Ding who was lazy before, so it was time to change someone else.
Ji Mingqing had no idea of the two men's true level. He was constantly directing Cui Ding to help him. Some time was wasted today, and Ji Mingqing wanted to make up for it, so he had to let Cui Ding get busy.
"How many more dishes are there?" Ji Mingqing's hands flew, one hand holding a spatula, the other hand holding a spoon to taste the flavor in the other pot.
"There are still six dishes." Cui Ding counted the dishes in the cabinet that were almost gone and said, "Or we can open another cabinet."
Ji Mingqing shook his head. "Not for now. I added that this time we can sell for more than a day, which is enough for now. If we want to expand in the future, we can talk about it then."
Ji Mingqing had never thought that his small restaurant would be so popular at first, and he had never thought about expansion before.
"By the way, please help me choose a spot near the restaurant when there aren't many people around. I'm going to set up a stall."
Before Cui Ding could ask what stall it was, Ji Mingqing paused, then quickly poured the seasonings at hand into the pot one by one, then quickly stir-fried them twice and called Cui Ding over.
"Help me stir-fry it for fifty times and then take it out of the pan. I'm going out to meet someone." After Ji Mingqing finished speaking, he quickly wiped his hands and went out to the hall. As soon as he walked out, three people turned their heads and looked at him at the same time.
Ji Mingqing immediately smiled from the bottom of his heart, "Palace Master, I am a senior, you are here!" Ji Mingqing immediately stepped forward.
The people who came were the Palace Master of Anding Palace and his two fishing friends. When Ji Mingqing saw these three people, he remembered that today was the delivery day, and he put the matter behind him.
Fortunately, he had already prepared everything when he received it, so he is not in a hurry now.
The three people who received the storage bag were very satisfied. They picked up the menu on the table and asked curiously, "Is everything you prepared for us on the menu?"
Ji Mingqing replied, "Of course there is. If you seniors would like to taste it, you can order whatever you want. I will treat you to this meal."
The Palace Master smiled and waved his hand, "Do I still need you to treat me? We need to..."
The Palace Master ordered a large number of dishes before putting the menu away. Ji Mingqing listened to the Palace Master ordering and made recommendations to him from time to time. The atmosphere was filled with joy.
After Ji Mingqing left, the Palace Master was even more pleased with himself. "I told you guys you wouldn't be able to hold out for much longer, but look at you, you can't help but come here anyway."
"That's true. I can't concentrate when you're eating."
Fortunately, they have a chance to rest once a month and don't have to stay on the Xieyue Coast.
Everyone thought that the three of them were just fishing enthusiasts, but in fact, the three of them were the guardians sent by the Lord to guard the Xieyue Coast. They knew that the news of their poor fishing skills had spread throughout the fairy world.
However, if this news were to leak out, it would surely cause some turmoil, so they could only look forward to this hard-earned day every month to relax.
"I don't know when the Lord will find someone else. I really don't want to stay in that shabby place every day. It smells so fishy! Yuan Qing doesn't even want to go with me now."
"Don't even mention your crane. Even my Taoist partner finds it boring and doesn't even want to accompany me anymore."
"Alright, alright. The fact that you can do this means the Lord trusts you. Look at how many people want to see the Lord, and it's so hard to come by."
At this point, the three of them all looked very satisfied. "Indeed, we can see the Lord once a month, which is already far better than others."
After saying this, the three of them were all immersed in memories, recalling the scene where the Lord had just spoken to them.
"Apart from the people of Kunze Palace, who else can defeat us!" The three of them encouraged each other, "We must not let the Lord... Eh? What a cute cat."
"Where is it?" Fairy beasts have always been very popular in the fairy world. They understand human nature, and fairy beasts like Yuan Qing who get the chance can even transform into human bodies and become fairies.
The three of them turned their heads at the same time again, and when they turned around, they were all stunned.
The aura, the cultivation, the eyes, the taste, except that it is the prototype cub stage, everything else is exactly the same as the Lord.
Why is the Lord here!
