A moonlit night with few stars is always pleasant. After a hearty meal, the friends went home one after another. Zhu Yi sighed: "They really treat this place as a restaurant for gatherings!"
Then I'll open a small restaurant. Scrolling through the comments on Yu Ling Tong that look down on me makes me really want to open a restaurant to prove whether people in the cultivation world really don't like good food.
If she's all talk and no action, that'll be interesting; she'll definitely give them a piece of her mind!
Zhu Yi suddenly felt that her rebellious nature had nowhere to go, so she could only secretly re-examine the seasoning recipe.
Hua Nuansu kept looking around Zhu Yi, chattering about how she could also make seasonings. Zhu Yi respected her ideas and listened patiently to her ramblings without getting bored.
After learning about Hua Nuansu's situation, Zhu Yi became exceptionally patient with her. Perhaps it was out of respect for Senior Hua, or perhaps it was because he felt that Hua Nuansu's tragic background meant that this young girl really needed someone to care for her more.
The following day, Zhu Yi arranged to meet a fellow Daoist who knew how to refine weapons at the small pavilion behind the sect's No. 3 library.
Zhu Yi waited early at the small pavilion. Soon, a thin, small disciple wearing a blue disciple's robe strode over.
The man seemed to recognize Zhu Yi. He paused slightly when he saw Zhu Yi's figure in the distance, but still continued walking in with firm steps.
"You..." Zhu Yi thought to herself, "Could it be that I've run into someone who doesn't like me again?"
After all, it had only been a short time since Shen Hanfang had tried to kill her in the Immortal Peach Secret Realm, and she was still somewhat traumatized.
The scholar in the blue robe was a little shy and tentatively asked, "Junior Sister Zhu Yi?"
"Mmm!" Zhu Yi nodded habitually. "You know me?"
"That's right. The incident where Junior Sister Zhu Yi demanded punishment for Lanxiang and the others in front of our Fu Sect's disciple building caused quite a stir. I was there at the time."
This is awkward. Can such a frail scholar really forge weapons?
With his slender arms and legs and delicate features, he didn't seem like someone who could withstand the heat and force of hammering metal during weapon forging.
Zhu Yi was a little puzzled and carefully observed the scholar in the blue robe.
She remembered that a junior disciple had explained Hua Nuansu's background to her at the time. It was dark that night, so Zhu Yi hadn't paid much attention to him.
The young scholar felt a little uncomfortable being stared at and coughed to cover up his slight unease: "Although Junior Sister Zhu Yi gave the impression of being quite assertive last time, I think you handled it very well."
This time, Zhu Yi said apologetically, "I was just so angry that those people bullied my friend like that. I wanted to punish them fair and square, so I wouldn't have to think of other ways to get back at them!"
Xiao Gua Ning's eyes sparkled like a little fox's. Although she spoke scheming words, they were full of honesty and straightforwardness, which reassured the young scholar.
Such an honest and straightforward person shouldn't be as bad as the rumors suggest.
"Junior Sister Zhu Yi, what kind of kitchenware do you plan to forge? Do you have any blueprints? If you are here, I can study whether it is possible to forge it."
The warm June breeze was a bit smoky. Around the small pavilion were some summer flowers and plants. The young scholar in blue robes spoke slowly and deliberately, which Zhu Yi found very pleasant. She asked a little shyly, "I don't know your name, senior brother. Shall we add the Jade Spirit Connection again?"
"Senior brother, are you a disciple of the Talisman Sect, and also interested in weapon crafting?"
"My name is Lin Hengjin, and I come from the mortal realm." He was a little embarrassed, worried that Zhu Yi would care about his background. After all, girls from aristocratic families like them didn't really like disciples like him who were selected and assessed from the mortal realm.
Zhu Yi listened attentively, her white teeth flashing as she smiled broadly: "If I ever travel to the mortal realm in the future, I'll need to ask Senior Brother Lin for more advice on things there!"
Lin Hengjin felt relieved, thinking that although Junior Sister Zhu Yi was a bit fierce, she was still very easy to talk to.
He had no idea that this was Zhu Yi's little scheme. In her previous life, she had been a mortal for twenty-four years, and the experiences of a mortal body really didn't need to be discussed with others.
Zhu Yi was trying to find a topic to reduce the awkwardness between them.
His taut facial muscles curved into a smile, just like Zhu Yi's: "There's nothing to learn from him. Most people in the mortal realm are ordinary people who live honest lives. They don't have spiritual energy, and many things are not as comfortable as in the cultivation world. For example, there are no cleaning techniques in the mortal realm, so you have to wash your own clothes."
"My father was a blacksmith, so I was interested in metal smelting from a young age. After joining the sect, although I studied more about talismans, I never neglected my interest in weapon crafting."
Zhu Yi immediately understood. It was the bounty post she had made that was being ignored by professional weapon refiners who looked down on making kitchen utensils, but an amateur craftsman had come along instead.
Exhaling slowly, Zhu Yi still smiled carefree: "No problem, no problem. I haven't studied weapon crafting either, but I'm more interested in cooking and pottery making."
"The porcelain I make is barely usable for drinking water."
Lin Hengjin looked at her with admiration, while Zhu Yi felt like she was exaggerating and fooling the child.
"I plan to build a mobile food cart, similar to a small house like this, which can accommodate two or three people to cook, and there is some space on the left side to put a storage shelf to store some commonly used kitchen items."
Lin Hengjin carefully picked up Zhu Yi's RV breakdown diagram, which was drawn very meticulously, with detailed annotations made in colored pens on the side.
Zhu Yi also added a separate layer of requirements explanation, fearing that the natives of the cultivation world might not understand the function of such a mobile food truck. Zhu Yi stayed up late last night and checked it from beginning to end.
"Junior Sister Zhu Yi, did you come up with all of this yourself?" Lin Hengjin was a little excited, his face slightly flushed.
"I guess so..." Zhu Yi said nervously. The feeling of doing things on the shoulders of giants was like a 5G network suddenly appearing in a group of 2G networks. It was different, but also very cool.
"You're amazing! With this portable kitchen, cultivators who can't afford a jade food box can buy one of these as a substitute when they travel!"
A new business opportunity has arrived! Zhu Yi was overjoyed and kept asking Lin Hengjin if these mobile food carts could really be sold.
"Is the jade food box very expensive?" Zhu Yi was a little unsure.
The things she uses now are basically given to her by Master Yujing and Master Miaoyan, such as jade food boxes, storage rings, flying magic tools, and high-grade weapons. She doesn't even know the specific prices, giving her a somewhat otherworldly feeling.
Zhu Yi despised her own extravagance.
“A mid-grade jade food box costs about eight mid-grade spirit stones, so many cultivators are reluctant to spend that money. If they had such a portable kitchen, they would have a relatively convenient place to cook some food when they travel. After all, although the fasting pill is good, it is not suitable to take it for a long time. Cultivators are still human beings after all, and they cannot completely separate themselves from the basic needs of eating, drinking, defecating, clothing, food, shelter and transportation in human life.”
"Senior brother, you have great insight!" Zhu Yi was relieved. There's nothing wrong with amateur enthusiasts. They work out of passion and might even do things more professionally than the professionals.
Whether the mobile food carts are useful to cultivators is another matter. Later, Zhu Yi could set up a franchise store and establish a pilot project in Fenglan City. Some small vendors without fixed shops could buy a mobile food cart to do business. This would save them the trouble of setting up their stalls back and forth, and they would also have a place to rest in the wind and sun. How wonderful would that be!
