Chapter 5 Making Money
As soon as the dish came out of the pot, Bai Mengmeng picked up a piece of pork belly and tasted it. The taste was okay. She was very satisfied with the taste that could be achieved with such few ingredients.
When she picked up another piece of potato, her eyes widened. How could it be so delicious? It was even better than pork belly!
Just one bite, the soft and delicate texture of the potato melts in your mouth, salty, fresh, fragrant and soft.
The taste was many times better than what Bai Mengmeng had made before. She felt like she could finish two bowls of rice in an instant.
The wonderful flavor of potatoes is harmoniously and naturally combined with the pork belly, which significantly improves the taste of the whole dish.
The pickled cabbage is also very crispy and appetizing. If it could only bring out half of the flavor of the vegetables before, now almost all of the deliciousness of the vegetables has been stimulated.
Moreover, she could feel that these ingredients were not of the best quality. If they were grown by her, they would definitely taste better.
This talent is so amazing! As a foodie, Bai Mengmeng closed her eyes and wanted to cry with happiness.
As if she had sensed something, she opened her eyes and saw that her three disciples had all returned and were now leaning against the door, looking at her eagerly.
Xu Bo was even more exaggerated. He stood by with chopsticks in his hand, his saliva almost dripping onto the ground.
"Don't be so exaggerated." Bai Mengmeng was speechless: "Get ready to eat."
The eldest disciple Liangcha picked up the bowl and chopsticks, took a step directly to the side of the dining table, and sat down gracefully.
Bai Mengmeng was shocked. Was that Qinggong just now?
The others were no less excited, as if they had been injected with chicken blood. Some served the dishes, some served the rice, and they sat around to eat.
Wang Hao didn't care about the heat and quickly picked up a piece of braised pork. As soon as he put it in his mouth, his eyes lit up immediately. The fat melted in his mouth, and the lean meat was not dry. His mouth was filled with rich meat aroma.
Thinking of the zombie meat he had eaten at noon, he immediately complained angrily: "So this is what human beings eat. Old Liu, you gave us pig food before!!"
Xu Bo stuffed his mouth with potatoes and meat stew, tears in his eyes: "Master, I have lived for so many years, but this is the most delicious potatoes and meat stew I have ever tasted, especially the taste of these potatoes! Wow, it's so delicious."
Huaguduo looked at the pickled cabbage, which was silver-red in color and had a shiny sauce. She quickly picked up a piece with chopsticks. Before she put it in her mouth, the strong sour, spicy and sweet aroma hit her nose. When she put it in her mouth, she felt that it tasted better than meat. It was sour and spicy, very refreshing, and it whetted her appetite.
Liangcha ate silently the whole time. When all the dishes were eaten up, he simply took an enamel basin to scoop out the remaining rice, and stuffed the rice with the remaining soup from the stewed potatoes and meat into his mouth.
After finishing the rice, he still felt it was not enough, so he used a spatula to scoop away all the rice crusts, and then scraped the plate clean with the broth.
Bai Mengmeng watched him eat in horror. He must be a glutton reincarnated! Look at that skinny waist. Where did all that food go?
I couldn't help but feel a little sorry. If he didn't look like a minor and cause some controversy or trouble, he could have supported his sect just by doing food broadcasts.
Finally, Liangcha put down the bowl with satisfaction. It was so delicious! A rare smile appeared on his face.
After the meal, the other three were also full and just rubbed their stomachs happily.
Seeing that everyone had finished eating, Bai Mengmeng coughed and said, "Now that everyone is full, as the leader, I have a few words to say."
"I've been here for a few days now. Although, we gathered here because of cultivating immortals."
When the word "cultivation" was mentioned, Bai Mengmeng couldn't help but blush slightly, feeling a bit childish. She immediately said seriously, "But as you can see, spiritual energy is almost gone these days, and there's no future in cultivation. Many people never awaken their talents, nor can they upgrade their talents in their lifetime."
"Although I promised Grandpa that I wouldn't disband the Qiongye Sect, if everyone doesn't work now, it's definitely not okay to just sit back and eat all the food. We have to find a way to make money!"
Wang Hao quickly raised his hand and said, "I have a job. I do odd jobs at a scrap recycling station...but all the money I earn is used to buy materials."
"I have one too. I'm doing a live broadcast of tarot card divination right now..." Huaguduo glanced at Bai Mengmeng and her voice gradually lowered.
Bai Mengmeng crossed her arms and asked, "How many fans do you have? How much have you earned?"
"cough........"
Very good, very good, Bai Mengmeng thought. It is worthy of being the Qiongye Sect. Several of its disciples, including herself, are unemployed vagrants. What a bunch of lazy people.
But she actually already had a way to make money. When she went to the town in the morning, she found that the Phoenix Mountain Scenic Area was very close to here.
The scenic area is rich in attractions, including a botanical garden, a film and television city, and a Phoenix Temple nearby. There are also many farmhouses and B&Bs along the way.
Anyway, their yard is very big, and no one lives on the first floor, so it is almost empty. Why not just open a farm stay and sell farm-style food?
My cooking skills have always been very good, and now, I don’t know if it’s because of my talent in growing vegetables, but the taste of the vegetables I make is even more amazing. I am fully qualified to be a chef.
She is not afraid of being tired. After awakening her talent, her physique is much stronger than before. Sometimes she even feels so energetic that she can kill pigs.
Besides, there are so many cheap disciples!
All come to do chores for her! Haha!
My talent is planting. Once I till the fields in the backyard and plant vegetables, I will be self-sufficient in fruits and vegetables in the future. If that is not enough, there are several fields at the foot of the mountain behind.
Thinking of this, she told others her thoughts.
Although everyone looked confused, no one raised any objections.
Bai Mengmeng breathed a sigh of relief and laughed out loud, "Since everyone agrees, then it's happily decided. I've also decided on a name for the restaurant: Qionghua Restaurant. Let's finish the decoration first!"
Bai Mengmeng was busy as hell for the next few days. She first hired a special decoration team to tear down the first floor and redecorate it.
The original kitchen was too small, so I moved it to a nearby bungalow where I had previously stored my belongings. I hired someone to reinstall the kitchen equipment. I also hired someone to make a sign for the door, and bought tables, chairs, tableware, and other supplies, using up most of my savings.
I simply didn't hire anyone to design the front yard. I just pulled out the weeds in the surrounding private plots and scattered some sunflower and evening primrose seeds.
The original cement floor in the middle of the yard was not moved. A few parasols were set up and a few outdoor tables and chairs were placed, and it was complete.
Several disciples of the sect were also suffering. They were forced to wipe the tables and floors and do the cleaning every day.
Thanks to everyone's efforts, the preparations were finally completed bit by bit.
By the time all the business licenses, health certificates and other certificates came down, the weather had gradually warmed up.
