Chapter 38
After hearing that Ji Mingqing had received a sum of money for a hot potato yesterday, Bai Cangze followed the direction to find the person who used Ji Mingqing's formula.
That man's name was Yin Fuzhang, and he was a dominant figure in the Immortal Realm. He not only had restaurants in many places, but he even owned a fairly large city. He had also cultivated to the level of a Earthly Immortal, one level higher than a Spiritual Immortal, and was a dangerous figure.
What Bai Cangze could be sure of was that this person would come to find Ji Mingqing sooner or later. Coincidentally, at this time, Cui Ding wanted to select someone to arrange to Fengxi Garden, so he gave the order.
"The chosen ones must be of a rank no lower than Earthly Immortal. Yin Fuzhang might send someone to Fengxi Garden in the near future, so please keep an eye out."
After hearing this, Cui Ding rolled up his sleeves and said in a loud voice, "Why did he come to Fengxi Garden? Last time, I almost found an opportunity to beat him up."
The last time Cui Ding was so angry was because the army needed to rest near certain cities when it was marching, and at the same time they would go to the city to buy some supplies. One day they happened to come to Yin Fuzhang's city.
Kunze Palace gave a lot of budget, and Cui Ding was usually very generous when purchasing supplies. He would pay the market price to the exact amount, and the transactions were always smooth.
As a result, when it came to Yin Fuzhang's side, he not only refused repeatedly, but also made excuses that he did not have enough food, and also said insinuatingly that he and his fellow citizens never ate low-grade food, so they could not provide the supplies needed by ordinary soldiers.
Even if Cui Ding said that he would pay all the immortal stones exactly, it would not work.
Cui Ding was very angry at the time. He had been a general in Kunze Palace for so many years, and he had never cared about anyone's expression except the Lord. He didn't expect to be turned away here.
Until this time, Cui Ding did not force it, but instead led his subordinates forward for several hundred miles and arrived at the next city.
Unexpectedly, the next city's lord offered an exorbitant price, nearly double the market price. He investigated the reason and discovered that Yin Fuzhang had recently monopolized the supply of immortal plants and herbs in several cities, especially elixirs and talismans. Ever since Yin Fuzhang began this practice, all immortals with some ability had long since departed, leaving behind either those who were indifferent to worldly affairs or those who lacked sufficient abilities.
Cui Ding immediately understood that the reason why this person did not sell the supplies to him was simply because he was confident that he would come back to him and raise the price. This way, he would not offend Kunze Palace and could make money at the same time.
Ordinary immortals can go without food and drink, but soldiers on the battlefield need supplies to replenish the immortal energy in their bodies at any time. This trick is nothing more than making money by doing something dishonest. Cui Ding was so angry that he returned to Yin Fuzhang's residence and directly smashed his entire palace.
Although he was punished by the Lord afterwards, Cui Ding did not regret it at all. He even made a harsh promise to Yin Fuzhang that he would beat him every time he saw him in the future.
I didn't expect that a quiet little immortal like Ji Mingqing would be involved with Yin Fuzhang.
In Cui Ding's mind, Ji Mingqing wasn't even as strong as some of the younger immortals, and was someone who needed special protection. Furthermore, Ji Mingqing was kind, and Cui Ding had already considered him a friend.
"Don't worry, my lord. I will definitely choose the strongest men."
Just like this, the five immortals who came to Fengxi Garden yesterday were all at the advanced level of the Earth Rank. Even the white-bearded chef who looked very kind had killed many people on the battlefield.
Ji Mingqing didn't know what kind of people he had offended. He just carefully arranged these new employees. In his mind, these people were all immortals who were not doing well in the immortal world, so he never mentioned the past. He only asked about their wishes and arranged work for them.
The chef naturally signed a contract with him to help cook in the kitchen, and one of the remaining four people was selected to be sent to Wu Qigu. Ji Mingqing was worried that Wu Qigu would be too busy selling snacks and collecting train ticket money at the same time.
Two of them temporarily helped to cultivate the land. Ji Mingqing left the area that needed to be cultivated, and they could complete it according to the schematic diagram they drew. The last one stayed in the restaurant to entertain guests.
Ji Mingqing actually didn't need so many people. In his mind, three at most would be enough. But since Cui Ding had introduced five people, it was difficult for him to persuade them to withdraw.
Anyway, there is always something for them to do in such a large area.
Ji Mingqing, now free, was eager to start researching other avenues. He approached Xiaowan and asked, "Want to try something new?"
Since Ji Mingqing wants to open a children's playground, he has to choose what kind of amusement facilities to build from now on.
Of course, he must start with the simplest one. He is just getting started with formations and cannot make anything too complicated. The formation of the Duanyun Car is what he is most proficient in learning now.
So what kind of facilities could the improved Duanyun Car's formation be used for? Ji Mingqing pondered for a long time.
"Or let's try bumper cars!" Ji Mingqing thought about it and finally slapped his thigh and made a decision.
"This thing isn't difficult. All you need to do is control the direction. Set up a protective formation outside the car, just like the one outside the train. The only problem is that the materials for building this car are hard to find."
He remembered that when he was playing, the outside of the car would be wrapped with a whole piece of inflatable rubber to reduce the vibration caused by collision.
Ji Mingqing had never seen a material similar to rubber in the fairy world, but he was not worried. Things in the fairy world were no longer restricted by the choice of materials. Even if there was no suitable one, using a few formations might be successful.
It would be a bit monotonous if there were only bumper cars, but he couldn't complete any of the large facilities by himself. Only then did he feel that it was really timely for Cui Ding to find five people to help him.
For example, now: "Xue Qi, can you help me cut these pieces of wood into the same size?" Xue Qi is the man with a beard who looks very strong.
"Okay, it's just a small matter..." Before Xue Qi finished speaking, the wooden boards prepared by Ji Mingqing for him had all become the same size.
“…I can do it in a breath.”
Ji Mingqing swore that he didn't even blink, how could this thing change so quickly!
"Then you take a rest for a while, I'll come to you later. By the way, didn't I just ask you to cultivate the land?" Ji Mingqing asked.
"Everything over there is done. This little thing can still take another day." Xue Qi sat down on the stool carelessly. "I came over to report to you. Zhong Siyun went to the restaurant to help."
Zhong Siyun saw that he was also Cui Ding's colleague. Jimingxing scratched his head after hearing this and said, "Actually, I don't have anything for you to do for now. Why don't you come and help me out?"
When Xuexi heard Ji Mingqing's invitation, he grinned from ear to ear: "Okay, okay, okay, I'll do anything you ask me to do!"
The Lord is watching right next to him, this is his chance to show off!
Ji Mingqing thought to himself, since it is impossible to build too many large facilities, he could just make a few simple ones first, such as the fitness equipment that every community has, as well as swings and seesaws.
Not only did the children like these things, but Ji Mingqing himself also loved them. In the summer, he loved going to the small supermarket in the evening to buy an ice cream and then go to the park to play on the swings. Whenever he did this, his heart would be extremely peaceful, as if at this moment, all the stress and worries could be thrown aside.
This was a rare moment when he could relax both his mind and body.
These things are easy to make. Just measure the length and add a few handles on it, and a simple seesaw is ready.
"Can you make me a few more seesaws like this?" Ji Ming leaned over to Xue Qi and asked, "Thank you so much."
"No trouble, no trouble!" Xue Qi quickly expressed his attitude.
"I'm already very grateful that Boss Ji gave me the opportunity to do something."
Ji Mingqing felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this. It is true that no matter whether it is a god or a human, everyone has difficulties. But since he has encountered it, he will naturally help if he can.
Thinking of this, Ji Mingqing's heart was ignited with ambition. He didn't know how many colleagues Cui Ding had, but he vaguely felt that these people were not a minority. As long as he expanded the scale, he would be able to help more gods who were laid off find jobs again!
Xue Qi didn't notice the change in Ji Mingqing's expression, but Bai Cangze who was standing beside him saw it clearly.
I don’t know what kind of weird things this person is thinking about.
Bai Cangze felt that he had figured out Ji Mingqing's thoughts, which were nothing more than wanting to earn more immortal stones.
He is really obsessed with money.
The author has something to say:
Yin Fuzhang: Let me show you what a true money-obsessed person looks like!
