"Shopkeeper An, there is no need to worry about this batch of goods. It will be ready in two months. If you can't find the healing medicine, there is no need to force it."
Ling Xiao said.
An An smiled and said: "Sir, I feel relieved when you say this. In the current situation, it is really difficult to find healing pills...except for this, everything else is easy."
Most of the supplies Ling Xiao needed this time were spiritual food and elixirs.
The amount of materials is much less than last time.
After all, he can now save a lot of thunder-attribute materials by making thunder talismans, so he has a stable source.
As for the healing elixir, Ling Xiao was preparing for the future.
The pressure from the front line will inevitably increase, and there is no guarantee that Tian Ling Xiao will really go to the battlefield.
By then it will be too late to buy healing elixirs.
Moreover, even if he didn't have to go to the front line, it was impossible for Ling Xiao to never be injured.
You can never go wrong by planning ahead.
After insisting on paying the deposit, Ling Xiao was ready to leave.
"Brother Ling!"
An An stopped him.
Hearing this somewhat familiar title, Ling Xiao stopped and turned around.
An An caught his gaze and couldn't help but panic, but she still mustered up her courage and asked, "Would you like to have a cup of tea before leaving?"
Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment, then said: "Okay."
He sat down again.
An An called people to see the tea, and various snacks were served. She poured the tea for Ling Xiao, her movements skillful and elegant.
"Brother Ling, let's try the snacks from the merchant house. It tastes good." She said with a slight smile.
Ling Xiao really became interested and tasted the snacks on the table one by one.
It tastes really good.
He smiled and said: "Shopkeeper An, are these snacks customized by you? Well, they are very much in your style. This is fresh and sour, this feeling is like eating dew-stained flower petals in the morning. It can't be said to be sweet, and it will never be greasy. It's bland. There is a little bit of sweetness in it..."
The more Ling Xiao ate, the brighter the smile on his face became.
Dim sum inspired him, and his recipe list didn’t include dim sum yet.
Hearing the compliment, An An smiled instantly, her pink cheeks turned red, and she asked in a low voice: "Do you like such... snacks?"
"of course!"
Ling Xiao's mind was filled with dessert making and he said casually.
An An's eyes flickered and her face turned redder. She was originally a quiet and lovely girl, but now she smiled shyly and looked even more gentle and charming.
Ling Xiao doesn't care about so much. He has a bite of snacks and a sip of tea.
Um!
The tea is also carefully selected and goes well with the snacks!
Ling Xiao swept away all the snacks in a hurry, remembering every taste.
The dim sum is not soulful, but it is really delicious.
This reminded Ling Xiao of the bitter and sour golden bamboo shoots.
Although the bitter and sour golden bamboo shoots are hard to swallow, maybe they can taste good if paired with other foods?
Go back and try it!
There is really no end to learning in the food industry!
"Shopkeeper An, these snacks are great. Do you have a recipe?" Ling Xiao asked.
An An smiled and said: "You...if you like it, I can give you some."
Ling Xiao waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'm only interested in the recipe, can you sell it to me?"
An An was stunned, then she realized that he really just wanted the recipe. After a while, she said, "No money, I'll give it to you." She handed the jade slip containing the recipe to Ling Xiao.
Studying snacks is just a pastime in her spare time and is not worth much. Usually, when guests come, they are given free of charge.
"Thank you!"
Ling Xiao was overjoyed and took it for inspection.
The ingredients, production processes, etc. recorded in the dim sum recipes were of course useless to Ling Xiao. All he cared about was An An's production ideas to see if he could learn from them.
Let’s study it after we get back!
Ling Xiao bowed his hands to An An and said, "Shopkeeper An, I've got something to do here. I'll take my leave. Next time the supplies are ready, just send someone to let me know."
After drinking the last cup of tea, Ling Xiao said goodbye and left.
"You...you can just call me An An, don't call me Shopkeeper An."
Ling Xiao was slightly stunned, looking at An An biting her lower lip, with a shy and delicate look, she was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, An... Miss An."
It's been a long time since I called her like this, and it always feels a little awkward.
The two looked at each other speechlessly, and suddenly they laughed together. All the past problems seemed to have completely disappeared in this tacit smile.
"See you next time, Brother Ling."
"good."
Seeing Ling Xiao's figure disappear at the door, An An was stunned for a while, then sighed quietly, and then showed a smile.
After gathering her mood, she was about to return to the back room, but she happened to see a group of waiters huddled in the corner, looking at her with worried and respectful eyes.
"Sister An An, for the sake of the company's business, you didn't hesitate to fight with that guy. I really deserve you!"
"Sister An An, be careful in everything!"
An An was speechless after listening to everyone's words.
…
Return to the manor.
The first thing is of course to make the talisman.
After that, Ling Xiao’s daily schedule is:
It takes 10 hours to make the Thunder Talisman;
It takes 2 hours to make the second-level talisman;
Take care of the estate for 2 hours;
Study spiritual wine, pickles, and snacks for 2 hours;
The last 8 hours are used for eating, practicing, etc.
There are many things to do and the schedule is full, so there is no time to spare.
And it’s day after day, never slacking off.
Even foundation-building monks will feel mentally overwhelmed when operating under such a high load.
Only former social beasts like Ling Xiao, who have enjoyed nine-nine-six blessings, can grit their teeth and endure.
Anyway, a cultivator will not be bald.
So what else is there to worry about?
Get to work!
Rest is for the dead!
In the blink of an eye, two months have passed.
Ling Xiao was freed from the extremely heavy work and temporarily stopped her schedule.
Two months of hard work paid off.
In terms of pickles, Ling Xiao explored two more types, one was "Lion Core Hollow Core" and the other was "Cold Dew Water Shadow".
The name is very elegant, but the material is an old and mature grass, which is the most common second-level spiritual grass - lion heart grass and cold shadow grass.
Both spiritual herbs are edible and often used as condiments.
Ling Xiao had a sudden idea that day and caught them to pickle, and found that the effect was gratifying.
The other is bitter and sour golden bamboo shoots. After Ling Xiao improved the pickling technique, the taste has also been greatly improved.
In terms of dim sum, Ling Xiao didn't have a good idea yet, so she put it aside for the time being and will try it again when she has the opportunity in the future.
The production of second-level talismans is also getting better. The success rate of ordinary second-level talismans is approaching 20%, and the Qingling Lock Talisman can also be maintained at 15%.
The number of second-level talismans Ling Xiao now possesses is more than enough to cope with actual combat.
However, there is still a long way to go before we can reach the "walking arsenal".
As for the most important task of making the Thunder Talisman, it was of course successfully completed.
Moreover, Ling Xiao also saved a lot more.
Coupled with his original thunder talisman, he would not need to distract himself from making this talisman for the next half month.
"Hurry up and hurry up. I finally squeezed out some time."
Ling Xiao seriously put away the Thunder Talisman and said with emotion.
The reason why I need to spare half a month is because of the great news.
Lingmi, mature.
