On the riverbank of Xingzhu Immortal Fox Royal City.
【Spicy Palace】Grand Hotel.
By this time, the interior decoration of the Spicy Palace had been completed.
A thousand large round dining tables are set up in the three-story hall.
Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi were sitting in the lobby on the first floor, interviewing Hu Xiu.
Zhao Ziyi held a notebook, asking questions and taking notes.
"Name, age, cultivation level, spiritual root attribute."
A fox spirit leaped onto a chair, its paws gripping the dining table, its furry mouth opening and closing.
"Little Fox, three thousand years old, Void Refining stage, dual spiritual roots of water and wood."
Song Chen nodded in satisfaction and handed over a packet of seeds and a jade slip.
"This is the secret to growing mushrooms. I hope you can learn it and start growing them as soon as possible."
Zhao Ziyi wrote down Hu Xiaoxiao's name in his notebook.
"Next."
...
"Suitable for growing ferns..."
Because the fox cultivator in the royal city has profound cultivation.
They are no longer afraid of fox cultivators in the Void Refinement stage; they have become quite accustomed to it.
Moreover, with the protection of the Celestial Fox Ancestor, the two of them can basically do whatever they want in the territory of the Star Pivot Celestial Fox, as long as they don't do anything bad.
Therefore, they are even more unscrupulous when it comes to recruitment.
Finally, the vegetable and meat suppliers they hired were all demon cultivators at the Void Refinement and Nascent Soul stages.
During the recruitment period, the Celestial Fox Ancestor also visited the Spicy Palace.
The enormous Celestial Fox Ancestor stood quietly on the performance stage, quite satisfied with its position.
Standing in this position gives it a sense of being the center of attention.
The Celestial Fox Ancestor looked at the fox balls scattered on the ground and snorted disdainfully.
These lazybones are too lazy to do anything on a daily basis; they don't even build houses and just live in fox dens.
Now, they've become more proactive just to have something to eat.
Once all suppliers have been recruited.
The remaining foxes stared at each other, looking pitifully at Zhao Ziyi.
"Cultivator, don't you need our help?"
Zhao Ziyi's face was full of smiles:
"Please be patient, everyone. Although today's recruitment is over..."
But in the future, you will all be able to seek a position in the Spicy Palace.
"Come back when the vegetables are ripe, and I'll put the job posting back where it was earlier."
The remaining foxes, though reluctant, could only leave Spicy Palace with many backward glances.
A moment later.
There were only 120 little foxes left in the arena, along with a giant fox ancestor.
Song Chen took out an apron from his storage bag and tied it around his waist.
"Please wait a moment, everyone. I'll prepare the food. Today's canteen menu is as follows:"
Sweet and sour eggs, stir-fried romaine lettuce, eggplant with soy sauce, braised potatoes, stir-fried pork slices, and crispy fried pork.
Upon hearing this, the fox suppliers all swallowed hard.
Just hearing about it makes my mouth water.
But the fox patriarch was not satisfied:
"You promised I'd have eight dishes!"
Song Chen rummaged through his storage bag and said with a smile:
"Then let's add another pig's trotter soup and another stir-fried pork kidney for the old man."
The old fox nodded in satisfaction.
It lay on the counter, watching Song Chen cook with the fox balls.
Gradually, the aroma filled the spicy palace.
The different scents stimulated the foxes, who stood up and eagerly inhaled the fragrances in the air.
When a dish was served, the foxes' eyes were practically glued to it.
But Zhao Ziyi snapped a wooden lid over his shoulder and covered the pot of vegetables completely.
"Please be patient, everyone. We'll start serving the meal once all the dishes are cooked."
This wait lasted for an hour.
One hour later.
Song Chen was sweating profusely from exhaustion. He had to prepare the ingredients, chop the vegetables, and cook them all by himself, which was quite overwhelming.
In addition, his pot is too small, so it takes a long time to cook the dishes.
These are the areas that need improvement if we want to successfully open [Spicy Palace].
After finishing cooking all the dishes, Song Chen wiped his sweat. When he looked up, he saw all the foxes staring at him with resentful eyes, including the fox ancestor.
This one hour really tormented the foxes.
You can smell it, but you can't taste it. The aromas blend together, making them salivate for an hour!
As the last dish was being cooked, the fox patriarch couldn't sit still any longer. He stood up impatiently, eager to be the first to eat.
But then, Zhao Ziyi tossed it a communication talisman.
"Ancestor, you eat first. There won't be too much food."
But if you're the last one, no matter how many are left, they all belong to you, the fox!
After careful consideration, the Celestial Fox Ancestor realized that what he said made sense.
It lay back down on the ground, smiling contentedly. It had a good relationship with Zhao Ziyi, so eating a little more wouldn't be excessive.
Zhao Ziyi smiled and explained to the fox suppliers:
"If you want to eat, you can go over there and get a set of plates and utensils. We will serve you food according to the size of the plates. This is fair to every fox."
The fox cultivators with high cultivation levels lined up at the window to get their food.
The vegetable supplier can prepare three dishes and a bowl of clear soup.
The meat supplier can prepare four dishes and a bowl of clear soup.
With the fox patriarch in charge, every fox is very polite.
When the last fox finished eating.
The smile on the fox ancestor's lips could not be hidden.
Sure enough, the last one to eat is the best.
There was not only enough food for two people left in the pot, but also a lot of soup. It was going to lick the plate clean!
After a while.
After finishing their meal, the fox cultivators sat in their seats, discussing the matter with satisfied expressions.
Zhao Ziyi stepped forward, smiling broadly as he offered the fox cultivators a rosy picture.
"Fellow Daoists, I wonder if everyone is satisfied with today's meal?"
The fox cultivators responded excitedly.
"Satisfied! It's so delicious!"
"It's comparable to 100 spiced beef cubes!"
"I'm extremely satisfied!"
Zhao Ziyi nodded and smiled:
"Because my fellow Daoists are employees of Spicy Palace, they are able to eat and drink for free."
But all of this comes at a price. I hope fellow cultivators will work hard in planting and raising livestock!
If our suppliers can provide high-quality vegetables and meat on time, then we can eat and drink for free indefinitely!
The fox cultivators were very excited and all expressed their determination to complete the breeding/planting tasks!
“But!” Zhao Ziyi changed the subject, his brows furrowing.
The cheering fox cultivators were startled.
"However, if a supplier is lazy and causes a shortage of materials, they will probably be blacklisted by our Spicy Palace."
Lazy suppliers will no longer be able to enjoy Spicy Palace's food, and their supplier positions will be taken by other fox cultivators.
For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat tense. The fox cultivators felt some pressure.
Until a fox cultivator stepped forward.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, I will definitely set aside half an hour each day for cultivation and to take care of the plants."
The other cultivators echoed their sentiments.
"Yes, it's so worth it to lose half an hour of training every day but get to eat such delicious food!"
"I will definitely continue to take care of the fields! Just like I will continue to cultivate myself!"
Zhao Ziyi nodded in satisfaction.
These fox cultivators are all powerful cultivators, with strong abilities and high efficiency. Summoning wind and rain is just a small trick for them, and taking care of plants and animals takes no time at all.
They are willing to give up half an hour of cultivation time for a meal.
This shows that eating is good for them.
Partnering with Spicy Palace is a win-win situation.
The fox cultivators washed their plates by hand using hand seals, and then excitedly ran off.
The vegetable supplier took the seeds and rushed back to plant them.
Fox Xiu, who was engaged in animal breeding, instantly traveled thousands of miles to buy cubs.
Everything was developing rapidly, just as Zhao Ziyi and Song Chen had predicted.
Zhao Ziyi slowly turned around with a smile, only to see that Song Chen's expression was somewhat strange.
He quickly went over and asked with concern:
"What’s wrong with you?"
Song Chen looked embarrassed.
"Uh... something's not right with my dantian."
