Chapter 25
"I want to buy a lot of dewberries. Boss, can you give me a discount?" Ji Mingqing raised his hand and asked the stall owner in front of him.
For some reason, many people came to buy their plum blossom drink recently, and many of them were assistants to the palace masters. When Ji Mingqing asked them what was going on, they just said that it was an order from their superiors.
Some people even said that they would take full responsibility for the survival of the plum drink in his store.
This won’t do. If you do that, the guests behind you will make a fuss.
Ji Mingqing took back a storage bag full of dew plums. This bag should be enough for him to use for a week. When the dew plums first became popular, he was very cautious when buying ingredients, fearing that he would buy too much and not be able to sell them. However, he did not expect that the dew plums that were originally expected to sell for a month were sold out in just three days.
Even when he wasn't prepared on the first day and it was out of stock.
However, Ji Mingqing made a lot of money these days. A portion of Lumei Drink was only a small pot, and he sold three fairy beads. Although it didn't seem like much, he could make a large bucket at a time. A bucket could hold at least fifty portions of Lumei Drink, and the raw materials together only cost about fifty fairy beads.
As reluctant as Ji Mingqing was to buy the Lumei, he was happier when he received the money. What's more, when people bought the Lumei drink, many of them would also buy a few dishes to take home.
In just a few days, he almost earned back the money he spent on a Qinggangmu tree, pure profit!
Ji Mingqing returned to the restaurant full of energy. At this time, there was already a long queue in front of the counter. Seeing him come back, Cui Ding hurriedly spoke to the immortals in the queue.
"He's back! The person who knows how to make Lumei Drink is back! Everyone, just wait a little longer, it'll be ready soon!"
As soon as Ji Mingqing heard this, he knew that it was sold out again. He nodded slightly apologetically to the customer, then immediately went to the kitchen and started making the plum drink.
"Have you found out why so many customers come to buy Lumei drinks?" Ji Mingqing wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and asked.
Cui Ding answered truthfully: "I don't know. They just said it was ordered by their own palace master."
Ji Mingqing was really confused this time, but he immediately came to his senses and started making the plum drink.
The way he made the plum drink was actually similar to that of other people in the fairy world, except that he took one more step than others, which was to add the juice of a kind of fruit. The taste of this fruit was a bit like lemon, but the lemon tasted better. Adding a few drops to a large bucket of plum drink could neutralize the sweet taste of plum.
He picked this fruit from the roadside because he was thirsty on his way to fish.
Ji Mingqing didn't have time to think too much. He waved his hands and left afterimages. Fortunately, no matter how busy he was, he never forgot to practice, otherwise he would definitely be too tired these days to have time to lift his arms.
A few days passed like this, and the trend still hadn't passed, and it even intensified. However, Ji Mingqing was no longer as panicked as he was in the previous few days. This time he prepared enough goods. In addition to the cage cabinet, he also prepared five storage bags, all of which were filled to the brim.
"We will inspect Xu Yihe's results today. Just hold on, we will be back soon." Ji Mingqing patted Cui Ding's shoulder and comforted him.
Cui Ding had no choice but to curse Xu Yihe silently in his heart. Not only did he slack off for a week during the busiest time, but he even delayed his boss's time for the entire morning.
His heart is worthy of death! His heart is worthy of death!
Xu Yihe and Ji Mingqing arrived at the border, and what came into view was a wide and flat road. There were even two rows of unknown wild flowers neatly planted on both sides of the road.
"Did you do this too?" Ji Mingqing was a little surprised. He would pass by this road every night when he went home, so he knew what the road looked like. Today he came here just to walk through it from beginning to end, but he didn't expect there would be such a surprise.
Xu Yihe nodded and said, "That's me. You said earlier that the scenery on both sides of the road was more important, so I took the initiative and went to the mountain to find some extra soil and transplanted some flowers and plants here."
Xu Yihe was too modest. This was not just a coincidence. He must have put a lot of thought into such a long road.
Without saying anything, Ji Mingqing gave all the remaining money to Xu Yihe, "Well done!"
Xu Yihe took the money with a smile, and took Ji Mingqing with him to walk around the place, finally stopping at an open space not far from the restaurant.
"If we build it further forward, it may become inconvenient. I wonder if you need to build it near the restaurant as originally planned?" Xu Yihe asked at the last moment.
Ji Mingqing took a look and estimated the distance from here to the visit. Although it was not close, it was not far either. However, he could see the restaurant as soon as he got off the car, and it should be reachable in five minutes' walk.
After all, everyone who comes here is here to eat.
"Okay, that's it. But it would be better to put up a sign here, and then put one up over there at the restaurant. That way it will be more eye-catching."
But speaking of this, Ji Mingqing couldn't help but think that he and his friends were busy in the kitchen and had no time to build the train carriages.
And according to the date, the Yangshen Grass is about to mature.
Ji Mingqing was overwhelmed, feeling that all the things had come together, but he still felt happy. If he were to be idle for two months without any purpose like when he first came to the fairyland, he would be really annoyed.
Ji Mingqing returned to the courtyard, holding his tools and said to Xiaowan who was observing him, "Xiaowan, I'm going out to adopt the magical grass. Do you want to come with me?"
Bai Cangze stood up immediately. Of course he had to go. He wanted to observe Ji Mingqing at all times.
The two of them arrived at the land where the immortal grass was planted. A sea of yellow flowers was trembling slightly in the wind, as if nodding to Ji Mingqing. Ji Mingqing looked at the flowers in front of him with satisfaction, and said to Xiaowan with a sense of accomplishment, "They all say that growing immortal grass is difficult. I think they are just making excuses for their laziness."
I have never heard that farming is difficult. The environment in the fairyland is so good. There are no natural disasters or man-made disasters. How is it possible that nothing can be grown?
"Xiao Wan, wait for me here, I'll be done soon." Ji Mingqing took the tools and storage bag, took off his outer clothes, leaving only a slightly tight lining. His waist was tightly tied, and his long hair was casually tied on his head, leaving a smooth and white neck.
Bai Cangze looked at Ji Mingqing like this, his expression was slightly stunned, and then a little annoyed.
How could Ji Mingqing be so unbecoming? Bai Cangze had never seen anyone in the fairy world working in public with his underwear on, so how could he behave like the demons?
The male demons of the demon clan all had their breasts exposed, and the women and demons were dressed in clothes that he couldn't look at directly. And compared to them, Ji Mingqing now was not much better!
Bai Cangze wanted to leave in anger, but the next second he heard Ji Mingqing calling his name.
"Xiao Wan! Please help me check if there are any flowers that have been missed or not picked. They are growing too lushly. I am afraid that some flowers will fall."
If other people heard what Ji Mingqing said, they would probably be furious. If an ordinary immortal planted the same area of nourishing grass, they would have to work very hard to harvest even one-tenth of Ji Mingqing's harvest. They might even have to recite spells for a whole month without sleep to ensure the quality.
But Ji Mingqing did it very easily. He was there when the spirit gathering fruit was planted before. At that time, Ji Mingqing was very responsible and would water the fruit every day and observe the growth of the spirit gathering fruit.
As for the Yang Shen Grass, Ji Mingqing didn't even bother to water it every day. Ever since he bought the jade slips for learning formations from Yang Lingkong last time, he had set up two crude and flawed formations, one that needed watering every three days, and the other that drove away birds.
This is all he did for this bountiful harvest of nourishing grass.
Bai Cangze thought he was being ridiculous, but he had to admit that Ji Mingqing was indeed gifted. Bai Cangze really wanted to make good use of Ji Mingqing's skills, and even tried to hide them. If others discovered his differences, it might bring him disaster.
The fairy world is not as peaceful as it seems.
While Bai Cangze was secretly calculating in his mind, Ji Mingqing was already exhausted and sweaty. He sat down on the ground, took out Xiaowan's bowl, poured a full bowl of Lumei Drink, and then poured himself another bowl and drank it down in big gulps.
"This is too much. I've heard before that it seems very difficult for people in the immortal world to grow immortal herbs. As a result, I don't dare to tell others that I have a lot of harvest."
After hearing Ji Mingqing's words, Bai Cangze felt inexplicably relieved. It turned out that Ji Mingqing was not a brainless person. But the next second, Ji Mingqing lowered his head and gave Xiaowan a sly smile, "It's mainly because I'm afraid they will beat me."
Bai Cangze closed his eyes, took a deep breath and secretly felt lucky that he was still a cub and there was no need to talk to him. This guy had no idea that he was just a child holding treasure and would step into the abyss if he was not careful.
At this time, Ji Mingqing didn't know what Bai Cangze was thinking. After he had rested enough, he stood up, took out an umbrella, opened it, and stood on the ground.
"The sun is too hot, just wait for me under this umbrella. I'll pick the flowers soon and then we'll go back. I'll make you a cold drink!" He had done a lot of work today, and he wanted to make himself some ice cream.
