Chapter 698: Wild Fox Atlas
Gong Mengbi talked about the wine he drank at Fox Hill yesterday. It was not only beautiful but also intoxicating.
Fatty Kang laughed heartily and said, "I told you not to keep it, but you did anyway. The older the wine gets, the more intoxicating it becomes. Xiao Yi'er, quickly bring a few jars of this year's newly brewed wine to your Master Gong, so he doesn't have to give out the old wine when he gets too excited."
Gong Mengbi said, "I haven't finished my old wine yet."
Fatty Kang said, "Aged wine can be used in cooking to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor. A little bit can also be used to make rice dumplings with fermented rice wine. However, I most recommend drunken shrimp, drunken crab, and drunken clams. They are all great dishes to go with wine."
Gong Mengbi laughed: "You still know how to eat."
Fatty Kang said, "I'm a cook. If I don't satisfy my appetite, what else can I desire?"
Xiao Yier brought over the wine jar and said, "Uncle Gong, come back after you finish your drink. I know Master has hidden a few bottles of immortal wine. I'll steal them for you next time I come."
"Little brat!"
Fatty Kang slapped Xiao Yi'er on the head and said, "You're a traitor here, right?"
Little Yier bared his teeth but kept smiling foolishly.
Gong Mengbi put away the wine jar and glanced at the soul wandering outside the restaurant. He pointed and said, "Is everything okay?"
Fatty Kang said, "What's the problem? Why don't you let the cook rest?"
Even as he said this, the burly man still stood by the window looking out.
Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "I'll go back first. Brother, please open the door to welcome the guests."
Fatty Kang complained twice and said, "Alright, I won't keep you here any longer. If you need anything, just send me a message."
Xiang Jun also stood up to say goodbye, saying, "My two little brats are greedy for money and have given me another job. I'm leaving now."
Xiangjun wanted to leave first and not dwell on the separation.
Gong Mengbi watched her disappear into the night. He watched Fatty Kang take down the closing sign and Xiao Yi'er light up the lantern. The rough man complained, "You really don't let me rest all day. Can't you guys just go and reincarnate sooner?"
Gong Mengbi laughed and soared into the air like a cloud of smoke.
Wen Xiu and Fei Xing flapped their wings, one on the left and one on the right, and headed straight for Lanyin Temple.
The lights of Anyi Restaurant kept getting smaller and smaller, and soon, only a few of them could be seen in the entire Jinhua City.
Standing in the vast void, the vast world is ultimately just a tiny thing.
Returning to the Fox Courtyard of Lanyin Temple, Gong Mengbi ordered Xiaoqian to call Huangfu Yuliu.
Huangfu Yuliu was already prepared. When he received the summons, he took a picture album and followed Xiaoqian to the monastery where Gong Mengbi lived.
There is a lingering fragrance in the monk's house. The aroma from the small golden incense burner seeps into the wood of the monk's house, and echoes with the spring orchids blooming on the windowsill at this time of year.
When Gong Mengbi saw him coming with the atlas, he smiled and said, "You already know what I want you to do."
Huangfu Yuliu said, "Before Hu Zheng left, he ordered me to investigate and compile an atlas of foxes in Jinhua County. Now that I'm back, I'm sure I can't get away from this atlas."
Gong Mengbi took the atlas, which was quite substantial. It included not only Jinhua County, but also all the counties near the county seat.
Whether it is oral information obtained through Fox's network of relationships or in-person visits, all are registered here.
After flipping through the album, Gong Mengbi actually had a rough idea in his mind.
There are quite a few foxes in the world, but only a few of them can finally awaken themselves and keep their spirits clear.
Gong Mengbi's ideal was to expand Fox Courtyard and then destroy it.
If it were only aimed at wild foxes, this ideal might not be difficult to achieve.
In recent times, most of the students at the Fox Orchard in Wuning County are foxes from other places. The Fox Orchard in Lanyin Mountain started later, but because it is the seat of government and the sacred way is more prosperous, the number of wild foxes is not as large as imagined.
At this rate, in twenty years, they will be looking for students all over the world, instead of students coming to them because of their reputation.
However, there is no need to worry about this problem in the short term. Whenever there is troubled times, evil spirits will emerge.
Last time, the toad disappeared in Taiqing, Taiyin was hidden, and Yuebei was visible, and demons were rampant in the world. In the future, the number of intelligent monsters will not decrease, but increase.
Gong Mengbi now wants this atlas not only to improve his understanding of the wild foxes under his control, but also to take the opportunity to select some useful talents.
No matter whether you have studied in Fox Academy or not, or whether you want to study in Fox Academy or not, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can be of use.
Even some fox demons that violate fox laws and commit evil deeds may play a role in other aspects.
Gong Mengbi told Huangfu Yuliu two things. One was that if anyone was willing to sign a contract and pass the review of Yue Mansion, they could be educated in the same way as in the Fox Court in Wuning County.
Those who lack long-term vision and are afraid of the so-called "king's rule" should also be given more advice.
There will be many more places to use people in the future. If we don't plan now, and if we really reach the point where there are no talents available and have to rely on other people, it would be a bit of a disregard for our own people.
Huangfu Yuliu actually didn't quite understand Gong Mengbi's intention, but since Gong Mengbi had already shown enough foresight, he didn't have any more doubts.
After discussing the business, Gong Mengbi asked again, "How is Miss Chanyuan doing?"
Huangfu Yuliu naturally didn't think that his contact with the Huangfu family could be hidden from Gong Mengbi. The basis of cooperation was trust between the two parties, so he didn't hide it and said, "Hu Zheng can call my cousin the young master."
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "Miss Chanyuan is very magnanimous. Now that she has become the young master, she can also take on important responsibilities."
Huangfu Yuliu said, "The young master's character and magnanimity are beyond my reach. To become the young master of the Huangfu family and to hold all his peers in a low esteem, one must not only cultivate well, but also possess sufficient virtue."
"I am convinced and support you wholeheartedly, but it's inevitable that there are some unwise people in the Huangfu family who want to compete with my cousin." Huangfu Yuliu said with a hint of sarcasm, "My cousin has put in a lot of effort to save their reputation."
Gong Mengbi knew the twists and turns involved. Sometimes it is more difficult to make others look decent than to make oneself look decent.
"I haven't visited Miss Chanyuan since I came out of seclusion. Please send me a letter and I will go to visit her soon to congratulate her on taking another step towards fulfilling her wish."
Gong Mengbi also instructed: "I will not be far away from Dongyang these days. If you have any problems, just come to me."
Huangfu Yuliu agreed.
After Huangfu Yuliu left, Gong Mengbi lit the small golden furnace, and his yin spirit separated and disappeared into the monk's house with the smoke.
Although I will not leave Dongyang, some things have to be put on the agenda.
We can't let old friends wait too long.
