Xihu covers an area of ten acres, and it would only take four or five days to plant all the spiritual lotus roots. Fu Shiyi planned to divide the people into two groups. She and Sanniang could use the spiritual energy, so they were responsible for digging holes, and Ma My aunt's family is responsible for planting.
"When you plant, you should pay attention to the direction of placing the lotus root seedlings, with the tail upward and the bud end of the lotus root seedling tilting downward. This will ensure that there are leaking parts at the head and tail ends and no water will enter."
Fu Shiyi personally demonstrated it and asked each of them to try planting. He found that except for the eldest daughter-in-law, the Magu family was a bit clumsy, and the rest of them were able to learn it immediately. It looked like they were used to doing farm work.
The group of them cooperated with each other, and the process was neither fast nor slow.
When they finished planting half an acre of land, they saw Fu Da's wife and her son wearing long leather boots at the edge of Xi Lake: "Fu Da's wife, Shenyi, why are you here?"
Fu Shiyi's reminder made Magu, who had been bending down to plant, straighten up suddenly. She looked at the smiling Fu Da's wife and felt wary. She originally wanted to find an opportunity to mention the matter to Shiyi, but now Fu Da My daughter-in-law and her son are here. It seems that today is not convenient.
"Shengyi and I finished the things at hand, so we thought of coming over to help."
It would be nice to have two more people working.
Fu Shiyi asked them to return to the planting team.
More than a dozen people were busy until dark, but they only completed two acres of work. When the work was over, Fu Shiyi briefly explained the arrangements for tomorrow:
"Xihefang Restaurant will open tomorrow. Me, Sanniang and Brother Sixteen will go there, and I will leave it to Magu. You don't have to rush, just take your time."
Originally, Fu Shiyi wanted Sanniang to stay and lead the team, but Sanniang shook her head: "I said, wherever you go, I have to follow you."
The restaurant opens in the morning.
If you want to get to Xihefang before the opening.
They had to get up at midnight and go on their way, and they had to take shortcuts.
Then we must go through the Qin Bamboo Forest.
Pass through the entrance to the foggy restricted area.
The first time she went to Xihefang, she and her uncle had encountered the ghost bride in the Qin Bamboo Forest. When she stepped into this bamboo forest again after so many years, Fu Shiyi's heart was still pounding.
I don’t know if it was early in the morning, but the fog in Qin Zhulin was extremely heavy, almost to the point where I couldn’t see my fingers. And the fog always makes people feel uncomfortable when it hits their bodies.
When we're almost at the end. From the southeast of the bamboo forest, panicked shouts came:
"Third brother, third brother, where are you?"
"Here you are, just stand where you are and I'll go look for you."
How could anyone stay in Qin Zhulin in the middle of the night?
Fu Shiyi was agitated, but was pulled out of the bamboo forest quickly by Sanniang. The three of them didn't say anything, and they all hurried on as fast as possible. When they passed the entrance of the Mist Forbidden Land, they didn't know if it was an illusion for a moment.
She felt that the faucet seemed to come alive.
When we walked along the Minyang River to Xihefang, it was already midnight. It was the time for the city guards to take over their duties. The three of them entered the city and went straight to the Treasure Pavilion.
Waiting for a cup of hot tea.
The weird feeling dissipated.
Uncle Qi finished busy with what he was doing, gave a few instructions to Xiao Shi, and then went to the courtyard of the backyard. After sitting down on the empty stone bench next to Brother Sixteen, he saw Fu Shiyi and others looking strange, and stared at them: "You guys But you took a shortcut?"
Fu Shiyi nodded hurriedly: "When we were in Qin Zhulin, we heard someone shouting inside."
Qi Bo frowned even deeper:
"Mostly those desperate casual cultivators thought about it and tried their luck. A month ago, someone discovered the first-order dusk mist spirit grass in Qin Zhulin. After the other casual cultivators learned about it, they swarmed in. Qin Zhulin is in the fog restricted area. On the other side, I’m afraid there are changes in the foggy restricted area!”
"Our four major families in Jingzhou also went in to investigate this matter some time ago. When they came back, they all said that it was very strange, but they didn't find any clues, so they reported it to the Qingxu Sect. It is estimated that they will send someone to the Qingxu Sect soon. People came to investigate.”
"When you go back, it's safer to take a long way around."
After Qibo finished speaking, he went to the front to work.
Because of the changes in Qin Zhulin, the market, which was supposed to be in the off-season, is now crowded with people. Fu Shiyi spent less than half an hour lining up to enter the city. Even the business in their store has improved a lot.
"Eleven, let's go too. In two quarters of an hour, the opening ceremony will begin."
Brother Sixteen couldn't hold himself back for a long time.
The restaurant is located in the middle of the west side, and it is a two-story building. Therefore, when it was rented to the Zhang family, the annual rent was one hundred spirit stones.
When Fu Shiyi arrived, the tribe's lion dance team was already in place, and the high-hanging plaque was covered with red cloth. Several waiters in the waiting room on the first floor wear uniform clothes, and there are ten accommodations on the second floor.
Yage also arranged a formation to isolate spiritual consciousness.
Everything is ready, just waiting for guests to take their seats.
Brother Sixteen entered the door, said hello to the second brother in charge of the restaurant, and then ran to the back kitchen. After the second brother explained a few words to the accountant at the front counter, he took time out and wiped his forehead. Sweating weakly, he walked towards Fu Shiyi:
"Oh, Shiyi, I'm really sorry to have to get you up in the middle of the night and rush on your way. The process of the opening ceremony is just like what I told you in my letter... You wait until the gongs and drums sound, and the first time After the firecrackers are fired, just come out and unveil the plaque and red cloth with me."
The second brother gave a few more instructions, and when a servant came to ask questions, Fu Shiyi stepped aside knowingly.
The second brother used to be the shopkeeper of Mihuang Restaurant in Jingzhou City for five years.
And Jingzhou City is the largest cultivation city in their area.
Therefore, the second brother had some experience in hotel management. He was very happy when he learned that the family was going to open a restaurant. After finding out from the eighth uncle that it was Fu Shiyi's idea, he made sure to come together to unveil the plaque together.
...
At this time, many people had gathered outside the restaurant.
The Fu family had been decorating the shop in the past few months, but did not announce what it would be used for in the future. After arousing everyone's curiosity, the news was released ten days before the opening that it would be a restaurant.
And on the day of the announcement, delicacies instantly appeared on the walls of the first and second floors of the restaurant, such as a large plate of Huoyun chicken. Just like an animation, chicks hatched from Huoyun eggs. After the chicks grew up little by little, they The chef cooks it into a delicious dish.
The casual cultivators from all walks of life pass by here every day and can't help but stop and take a look. The more they look at it, the more curious they become about how it tastes.
Especially the casual cultivators. On weekdays, they are short of money and cannot afford and are reluctant to spend a lot of money to buy a Huoyun chicken. Now it is reduced to pieces. A medium-sized dish only contains dozens of spirit beads. Ten days ago, they made an appointment with friends to wait for the restaurant to open and have a good meal.
A piece of spirit stone can be exchanged for a thousand spirit beads.
If they work together in small groups and eat more sumptuously, the average meal will only be about one hundred spirit beads.
