Chapter 4 Hurricane Season 04 First income, first employee recruitment. …
Song Chi seemed to have heard some words from the last century: "Junior Sister?"
In his impression, titles like Master and Junior Sister were only used by ancient people before the 21st century... Song Chi suddenly realized, could it be that these two were super-antique mutant zombies that had been left behind for five or six centuries? !
He glanced at Jiang Runian, who looked calm, and speculated secretly.
This boss seems calm and confident, and mysterious. Maybe she can really handle these two?
Song Chi took two steps back calmly and hid behind Jiang Runian.
Jiang Ruinian took a deep breath, raised his hand and opened the door.
Song Chi: “?!”
After seeing Jiang Runian's face clearly, a man in white clothes put away his sword. His face was as white as powder and his skin was as white as cream, but he had waist-length silver hair, making it impossible to guess his age.
Next to the man stood a young girl who was about the same height as Jiang Ruinian, but obviously much healthier. The young girl had a lively little round face and a bun-like bun with two ponytails. She was staring at Jiang Ruinian with wide eyes and stretched out her hand to grab the carotid artery in her neck!
Song Chi was shocked!
This mutant zombie is so aggressive that it kills anyone it sees. Fortunately, he hid behind Jiang Runian, so she would be the first to die!
Unexpectedly, the next second, the young girl's hand turned around and she hugged Jiang Runian's neck and cried loudly: "Junior sister, it really is you!"
Li Fu's originally sweet voice sounded as if struck by thunder, and it was obvious that she had said too much and nothing was said.
She complained in an electronic voice: "My master and I met by chance in the woods. We didn't see anyone else at the time. We finally saw a man in the forest. He was running around like a loach. I didn't stop even when I shouted until my voice was hoarse! Just now we saw the sign of Qingshan Inn and smelled the familiar aroma of food, so we wondered if it was you!"
After that, she looked Song Chi up and down: "...Master, do you think this man looks like that loach?"
Bai Yexuan raised his eyes and sighed: "Afu, be polite."
It was obvious that these two were very skilled and were also acquaintances of the owner of Qingshan Inn. Song Chi quickly slid to his knees and said, "I'm so sorry, I mistook you for those terrifying monsters!"
What Li Fu said was indeed true. Song Chi was as slippery as a loach. Every word he said sounded innocent, yet every word he said was sarcastic.
Since these two were not zombies, Song Chi no longer needed to seek refuge. He, the captain of the reconnaissance team, had made such a big mistake, and now he just wanted to leave quietly.
Just as he was moving, he was suddenly stopped: "Wait a moment."
Jiang Ruonian pointed at the half-eaten garlic eggplant on the table and asked earnestly, "How much can a dish like this sell for at your base?"
Song Chi's eyes rolled around twice: "About 5 coins."
He didn't tell the truth.
This dish would be snapped up even if it was taken to any small settlement, let alone a base with abundant money. But the boss looked less than 20 years old, weak, and a woman... Song Chi thought, if she was a little girl who didn't know how to do business, maybe she could make a lot of money for the base, and then he could get a promotion and a raise.
Jiang Runian narrowed his eyes and said, "Only worth 5 coins?"
Song Chi felt uneasy when she stared at him, but he still straightened his chest and said, "Yes, think about how people live now. It's enough to have enough to eat. Who would spend a lot of money on food?"
Jiang Ru Nian pondered and smiled slightly: "Okay, then you sit for a while."
She pushed Li Fu and Bai Yexuan onto the stools and turned to walk into the backyard.
Fortunately, he had squeezed half a basin of rapeseed oil before, which was enough to make another serving of garlic-flavored eggplant. While frying the eggplant, Jiang Runian boiled two more bowls of water and served them on the table.
She took out a small wooden plate, picked up a piece of eggplant flesh the size of a quail egg with clean chopsticks, and handed it to Song Chi.
Song Chi was puzzled: "This is..."
Jiang Runian replied: "5 coins."
Song Chi's face immediately turned red.
It turns out that the boss knew he was cheating.
Jiang Runian sneered and just thought it was a joke.
In the past, the mortal world used gold, silver and copper, and the immortal world used spiritual stones. She originally wanted to estimate the value of the game coins. Before asking Song Chi, she had already glanced at the game mall and found that even the lowest-grade vegetable noodles cost 15 game coins, so it was even more impossible that the garlic roasted eggplant she made by hand was only worth 5 coins.
Song Chi transferred 5 coins in disappointment, and the inn’s funds were finally no longer zero.
Jiang Runian was very friendly and explained, "I don't have much fresh fruits and vegetables today, so I can't supply extra dishes. But starting tomorrow, Qingshan Inn will provide catering services and support takeout. You are welcome to try it."
After sending Song Chi away, Li Fu drank a lot of water to moisten her throat while wolfing down her food, her words slurred as she said, "Why are you doing business with him? He looks cunning and he wants to blackmail you."
"Although he has many thoughts, he is from a large base after all. He will definitely report the matter of the inn when he returns. Words are not enough, so why not let him take a plate away." Jiang Runian held his chin with one hand, smiling, "A little bit of garlic-flavored eggplant in exchange for a good reputation, it's worth it."
At this time, the system that had been idle for a long time suddenly came online: [Host, you have finally made up your mind to run the inn well! ]
A quarter of an hour ago, Jiang Runian was still hesitating.
After all, she had never intended to live alone since she came here.
But the system was right at the beginning. The people she was looking for were right here. The two people in front of her were Bai Yexuan, the head of Qingshan Sect and her master, and Li Fu, her third senior sister. Since Bai Yexuan and Li Fu were both here, the other two should also be suffering somewhere nearby.
Therefore, now she has to shoulder the heavy burden of "supporting Qingshan Sect".
It is not just about farming to solve the problem of food and clothing and fetching water to quench thirst. Food, clothing, housing and transportation all have to be arranged on the schedule, and money is indispensable.
This time, she wants Qingshan Sect to survive.
Live a worry-free life, enjoy a long and happy life, and don’t have to go through a bloody storm again.
The master and his disciple were probably extremely hungry, and they finished a plate of garlic-flavored eggplant in no time.
Bai Yexuan wiped his mouth elegantly: "Anian's cooking skills are still so superb."
"I came to this damn place unexpectedly this morning. I was wondering what I would do if I couldn't eat the food that Niannian made," Li Fu patted her belly with a satisfied look on her face. "I don't know what brought us here."
Jiang Runian conveyed the system's original words in a more popular way.
Li Fu suddenly realized: "No wonder, I was sleeping soundly in my room, how come I found myself lying in the woods when I opened my eyes."
……Wait a moment.
Jiang Runian rubbed his ears and confirmed: "Fu Fu, before you came here... did you sleep in the bedroom of Qingshan Sect?"
"Yes, didn't we just eat your new dish 'Flame Grass Spirit Melon Soup' last night? Then we watched Senior Sister practice drunken boxing for a while and then went to sleep." Li Fu poked Bai Yexuan with her elbow, "Isn't that right, Master?"
Bai Yexuan also nodded.
At this moment, Jiang Runian didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
What Li Fu was talking about was the last night in her memory when smoke rose from cooking fires. Three hours later, the mountain was filled with fog and dark clouds. Tens of thousands of disciples from the immortal sects poured in like a rainstorm, surrounding the Qingshan Sect. The plaque was burned to ashes, the pagoda collapsed, and blood flowed down the bluestone steps, dyeing the mountain springs and streams red.
Jiang Runian will witness her fellow disciples dying one after another in front of her.
Jiang Runian was somewhat delighted. Now it seemed that except for her, everyone in Qingshan Sect had lost this memory. Jiang Runian breathed a sigh of relief. After all, such a memory was equivalent to pain.
But at the same time, Jiang Runian was very sad.
As the saying goes, without going through the bitter cold how can the fragrance of plum blossoms be so strong?
——She was still hoping that this rotten master would learn from his mistakes after experiencing such a massacre, wake up from his mistakes, stand up again from where he fell, live his life again and take back everything that belonged to him!!!
The massacre of the Qingshan Sect was certainly someone else's fault, and the theory that the victims are guilty is not acceptable.
But the villain was able to foam at the mouth and say a few words before he died, how could a serious sect be defeated without even saying a word when facing accusations!!!
Jiang Runian rushed out of the mountain gate upon hearing the noise, crying and shaking the corpse of his fellow disciple, while shouting in grief: "Master! I told you long ago that the rotten wooden pillars of the sect should be replaced, but you just couldn't bear to spend the money! Now look what happened, they've already killed one of our own before they've even started!"
No, I can't think about it anymore.
Her tears of despair were about to burst out again.
Jiang Runian slammed the table and stood up!
If you continue to be a lazy person, there will be only two possible outcomes: being sun-dried to death on the beach or being eaten as a snack!
She said solemnly: "From today on, you are also members of Qingshan Inn."
With a ding, two flashing names appeared in the employee column of the inn information.
【Bai Ye Xuan (New!)】
Ability: Qingshan Swordsmanship
Position: To be determined
Salary: To be determined
【Li Fu (New!)】
Ability: Xuantian Talisman
Position: To be determined
Salary: To be determined Li Fu opened her mouth, wanting to say something but stopping herself. Bai Yexuan took a sip of boiled water and said for her: "But An Nian, we have lost our spiritual power."
"Yes, yes. How can we help you without spiritual power? Master can't fly with a sword, and I can't draw talismans to lead the way. Otherwise, we would have caught up with that man and found you long ago!"
Qingshan Sect is not like the big sect next door, which specializes in one technique and becomes the best in the world after achieving perfection. Rather than saying that Qingshan Sect is a sect, it is more like a group of passers-by picked up by Bai Yexuan when he traveled around.
Bai Yexuan himself is an excellent swordsman. It is said that he once fought a duel with a sword fairy on the top of the Forbidden City, but gave up the competition halfway because he forgot to extinguish the charcoal fire in the room. Li Fu was born in a family of talismans. She was the one who put up talismans when there was a ghost in the sect or when the New Year came. As for Jiang Runian, he was born with a pure wood spirit root. As soon as he was picked up by Qingshan Sect, he was sent to the cave paradise to farm. He learned all the messy magic by himself in the treasure pavilion, and his main feature was to do whatever he wanted.
When Jiang Runian first came here, she discovered that the little cultivation she had in her previous life had completely disappeared. Even her talent for farming and taming animals was probably achieved through the supernatural power of "Shennong Heart Sutra".
Therefore, she was not surprised at all about Bai Yexuan and Li Fu's current situation.
She leaned against the counter, brainstorming rapidly.
"The inn is short of a kitchen knife."
"This requires Elder Yu to come. We don't know how to forge."
"Who said I want you to forge swords?" Jiang Runian raised his eyes like crescent moons, and pointed at Bai Yexuan's waist, "Isn't there a ready-made one?"
The two followed her gaze.
On Bai Yexuan's waist is a scabbard with a wandering Kunpeng wrapped around it, and on the top is a mermaid's tear with rippling waves.
That is the Qingshan Sect’s treasure, the Sky Sword.
Bai Yexuan was so frightened that he trembled three times and quietly covered the hilt with his sleeve: "...Anian, this is the sword that I have used for eight hundred years."
"I know." Jiang Ruonian took out a yellow potato that was bigger than his head from his pocket and said, "Cut it into shreds for me to see."
Bai Yexuan: “…”
Where has his little disciple gone?
Bai Yexuan hesitated and grasped the hilt of the sword. The magic sword was unsheathed, and the white blade emitted a soft blue light. The sword was just like its name, and it looked like the sky where Kunpeng was flying.
He was ready to die, closed his eyes and made a few sword flowers in the air.
The yellow-skinned potato stayed in the air for a moment, and then broke into countless hair-like potato shreds.
Jiang Ruonian picked a few to test and clapped like a penguin: "Good! Very good! Master, you will be my personal assistant chef from now on!"
There was another "ding" sound, and Bai Yexuan's employee information was updated with [Position: Kitchen - Kitchen Helper].
Bai Yexuan: “…”
Li Fu on the side was very nervous.
In the past in Qingshan Sect, Junior Sister was in charge of all logistical matters, big and small. No one had any objection to her determination to open an inn.
Don’t be fooled by Junior Sister’s smiling face all day long. The more serious she is, the more she likes to use a joking tone.
Even the master dared to order the junior sister to be a cook - even a kitchen helper, not even the head chef. Li Fu was afraid that she would exile herself to a pile of monsters to exorcise evil spirits.
Li Fu moved closer to her and said in a hoarse voice, "Niannian, you know I can only draw talismans, nothing else."
Li Fu was once a daughter of a rich family. With her extraordinary talent, she ranked among the top 100 talisman practitioners in the world when she was a teenager. While other talisman practitioners were still slowly taking out their brushes, ink, paper and inkstone to draw talismans, she had already learned to use her spiritual power as a pen, greatly shortening the casting time. But now that she has no spiritual power, she can't do anything.
She thought, there is no reason to assign her to work, right?
Jiang Runian looked prepared. He took out the banknotes from the counter and spread them out neatly: "Fu Fu, write two words for me to see."
Li Fu dipped the rough brush into ink and casually wrote the four big characters "Qingshan Inn".
It is vigorous and powerful, elegant and graceful, and has a hint of the integrity inherited from a famous family.
It was just as Jiang Runian expected.
Li Fu didn't know how long it had been since she last held a pen, but the quality education that her family had paid attention to since she was young and her many years of experience in drawing talismans to exorcise ghosts and evil spirits made her still write well. Given enough time, she could even draw a few beautiful decorative paintings.
Jiang Ruonian applauded his own wit again: "Good! Very good! From now on, the menu plaques of the inn will be handed over to you. It just so happens that you can do arithmetic, so the position of the innkeeper depends on you!"
Li Fu: “…”
The employee information was updated again, [Position: Lobby - Shopkeeper], and the salary column below began to flash frequently, as if it could not be confirmed without filling it in.
Jiang Runian stroked his chin and thought for a while. She hadn't even opened the business yet and couldn't even calculate the cost and profit. It would be too uneconomical to fill in the salary now.
After thinking it over again and again, she quietly filled in "1 coin/month".
system:【……】
Host, you are taking too much advantage of me.
After settling the two new employees, Jiang Runian was satisfied.
A burst of light appeared in the backyard, and another batch of vegetables were ripe. Jiang Ruonian took the two of them to visit her "blessed place" and gave a brief explanation.
Li Fu picked up a head of garlic and said in surprise: "Doesn't that mean that if we just stay in the inn and harvest and plant all the time, we can be self-sufficient and don't need to go out at all?"
After all, none of the three of them have any spiritual power now, and going out is tantamount to seeking death.
"I thought so at first. But we can't just rely on these few dishes. If we want to run the inn, we have to collect more seeds. We can't always be vegetarian. We have to put ranching on the agenda." Jiang Ruonian counted on his fingers and explained one by one, "The inn doesn't even have a stable water source now. There is still a lot to do."
Jiang Runian had no way to explain the inn management system to the two of them. Traveling through time and space was shocking enough for them. In addition, in the past in Qingshan Sect, all logistical work, big or small, was under the management of Jiang Runian, and the others just listened to the scriptures.
Therefore, the matter of how to build the inn still depends on her.
She clicked on the details of the employee information and immediately discovered Bai Yexuan's amazing [Physique: 99] and Li Fu's expected [Intelligence: 99], as well as the extremely high growth value.
Jiang Runian: “…”
They are all cultivating immortals and traveling through time, so does the gap between people have to be so huge?
Of course, these attributes have nothing to do with the player's own qualities, but only with the difficulty of life and combat in the game.
For example, Jiang Runian, whose physique is 1, can rest in peace after spitting out a mouthful of blood, but Bai Yexuan, whose physique is 99, can be beaten and kicked for ten minutes; another example is Jiang Runian, whose intelligence is 1, cannot use any skills, but Li Fu, whose intelligence is 99, can have the opportunity to learn magic skills.
Jiang Runian looked up to the sky and sighed.
She must have been a cabbage spirit in her previous life, otherwise how could she love farmland so much.
It was past noon and the sun was getting dimmer.
Before I knew it, I was already halfway through the first day.
After Jiang Ruonian harvested the vegetables, she had more in her bag. For the third batch of seeds, she only planted a little onion, ginger and garlic. She planned to go out for another exploration in the afternoon. She didn't have time to come back to coax the seeds at every stage, and there was no extra water to irrigate. The amount of these seasonings was relatively small, and they were enough even if the yield was not high.
She handed Li Fu a stack of paper and asked her to freely draw a few flyers.
Jiang Ruinian picked up the kettle, rode on the giant rabbit, and raised his eyebrows at Bai Yexuan: "Master, come with me."
"?!" Li Fu bit the tip of her pen and broke it into pieces, looking unhappy. "Why should you only take Master with you? I want to be with you too!"
Bai Yexuan rolled up his sleeves lightly, looking elegant and refined, and smiled calmly: "Of course, it will be more reassuring if Ah Nian is with me, my teacher."
"Indeed," Jiang Ruonian nodded in agreement, "He has a thick skin and can handle beatings, so it's safer to use him as a meat shield."
Bai Yexuan: “?”
