Hou Shiyun was so angry that he walked into Yu’s Restaurant with a flick of his sleeves.
As soon as he entered the door, Shopkeeper Yu spotted him and hurried over to greet him: "Mr. Hou, why didn't you let me know before you came?"
"I've made an appointment to meet Sigong here and have a drink." Hou Shiyun had just finished speaking when he suddenly felt something strange.
The lobby was full of guests and noisy. It wasn't meal time, so it shouldn't be so busy.
So he asked, "Why are there so many people today?"
Shopkeeper Yu hesitated and stammered, "This, this..."
"Why are you hesitating?" Hou Shiyun frowned, "Is there something you can't say?"
Shopkeeper Yu had no choice but to tell the truth: "Just now the City Lord's Mansion informed the whole city of the Immortal Punishment. Ahem, the situation of Fubiao Mountain. The whole city is discussing this matter now."
It turned out that after the earthquake subsided last night, the people in the city were in a panic. Many people had been gathering outside the city lord's mansion and refused to leave, waiting for the city lord to give everyone an explanation.
So just as Hou Shiyun left, the City Lord's Mansion sent out an order to explain the situation to the people waiting outside.
This was explosive news for Changping Territory, and the shock it caused was no less than last night's earthquake.
In a short while, the news spread to most of the city.
Yu's Restaurant was some distance away from the City Lord's Mansion, so the news did not spread here so quickly. However, many merchants and monks with extensive connections lived in the inn.
These people all had jade edicts to communicate, so they knew about it earlier than many city residents.
In addition, after the earthquake, many people gathered in the lobby to find out what was going on. When the news came out, they just started gossiping.
Not to mention Yu's Restaurant, all the teahouses and pubs in the city will probably be full soon.
Sure enough, the tables were filled with fruits and tea, and everyone looked excited, obviously in the mood to chat.
Hou Shiyun was already annoyed by this matter, and his face became even darker when he heard this: "I'm so bored."
"Yes, yes, there are many chatterboxes in the mortal realm." Shopkeeper Yu echoed and led him inside. "Go to the private room to rest first, so as not to pollute your ears."
"Why are you so nervous? I can't be so nervous that I can't listen to what others say." Hou Shiyun felt that his attitude was a little strange.
Just as I was about to go up the stairs, I heard two people at the table next to me start talking excitedly and raising their voices unconsciously.
"Now that you mention it, that Master Zhu is truly amazing. They all say that the magic formation on the mountain is extremely powerful, and even Yong Zhoutian was helpless, but he actually broke it."
"Of course, they have defeated the Yuxu Sect."
"By the way, Fubiao Mountain is so close to the main city. If the spiritual energy is really revived and spiritual plants grow to attract strange beasts, I'm afraid that Changping Territory will have another great figure in the future."
"The funniest thing is the elder on Mount Dai. He didn't even understand the situation clearly, but he directly sent someone to ask the city lord for the mountain. He didn't expect that he would make a big joke in the city lord's mansion. I'm afraid the story will spread around the city for several days."
"Tsk, this elder Hou's hands are really long..."
"Oh, that's unspeakable."
"Then I will say it anyway. I don't care what Daishan says. If you have the guts, go to Shangqing Shumen to get me."
"So you are a fellow Taoist from Qingshu Sect. I am so sorry for the disrespect. Please speak freely and we are listening."
The Qingshu Sect is a large Dan sect, and its original strength was slightly inferior to that of the Yuxu Sect.
Later, he bought a spiritual power rice cooker from Zhu Changyang, and his efficiency in alchemy soared. With the disintegration of the Yuxu Sect, Qingshu Sect is now the top 1 alchemy sect.
They speak with natural confidence, and are one of the sects in Piaomiao Continent that has the best impression of Zhu Changyang.
"Oh, let's not talk about anything else. Anyway, if someone were to target the masters for no reason, we at Qingshu Sect would definitely not stand idly by."
Hou Shiyun: “…!”
It turned out that along with the news of Fubiao Mountain breaking the formation and returning to its master, there was also news of Hou Shiyun's actions in the City Lord's Mansion.
The people in the city are reluctant to say it openly, but the guests from other places don’t have so many concerns.
He became more and more excited as he talked. He would explain the commotion Zhu Changyang had caused in the cultivation world over the past year or so, and would make subtle references to Elder Hou, occasionally bursting into laughter.
The more Hou Shiyun listened, the darker his face became, and his breath was stuck in his throat and he almost couldn't breathe out.
Shopkeeper Yu was almost crying. He had no idea that Hou Shiyun would come to the store at this time. There were many VIP guests in the lobby at that time, and he couldn't openly drive them away.
Fortunately, Hou Shiyun was probably also worried about something, so he swallowed his anger and said coldly: "You are so talkative. I don't know what you are talking about."
Shopkeeper Yu wiped his sweat off his forehead, quickly led him into the private room, and asked someone to serve him the best spiritual tea.
Hou Shiyun drank two large pots of wine before he calmed down a little. After thinking for a while, he called Manager Yu and asked, "How is the restaurant's business recently?"
"Thanks to Shaojun and Elder Hou, things have been pretty good these days." Shopkeeper Yu hesitated for a moment, then continued with some worry, "But it seems that Shen's is about to reopen, and I'm afraid they'll come up with something new."
"What are you afraid of? It's just some tricks." Hou Shiyun was very unimpressed and tapped his fingers on the table. "Well, I'll go back and tell my father that I'll give you Ru Zhou for a while. When the Shen family collapses completely, I'll take it back."
"Thank you, young master." Shopkeeper Yu was overjoyed and stood up to bow. "I feel relieved with your words."
He was very discerning and immediately took out a brocade bag containing spirit stone receipts from his pocket and handed it over, "Mr. Hou, I am really grateful for your kindness. This small gift is not a token of respect, please accept it."
"You don't have to be so polite every time." Hou Shiyun smiled, "My father and I both think highly of Si Gong, so we will naturally pay more attention to his family affairs."
Just as he was about to take it, there was a sudden knock on the door of the private room, and the waiter shouted loudly: "Boss, Boss, please come out and take a look..."
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Shopkeeper Yu walked over to open the door. "Can't you see I'm entertaining you..."
There was a pause before he finished speaking, and then he heard a burst of exciting drum music coming from outside.
At the same time, there was a lot of noise on the street, and it was obvious that a lot of people were gathering.
"What's going on?" Shopkeeper Yu frowned, "Why is it so noisy outside?"
"Shen's just suddenly opened." The waiter panted, "and even used a loudspeaker to announce outside that they welcome the owner of Fubiao Mountain..."
Shopkeeper Yu:
Hou Shiyun looked over.
.
Zhu Changyang, Jun Shu and Chang Fengchi stayed in the City Lord's Mansion until the afternoon before leaving.
It was a rare opportunity to see the city lord, and with so many powerful people from aristocratic families present, Zhu Changyang took the opportunity to talk about the power plant.
Think about laying the groundwork first to avoid being tripped up by others in the future.
The concept of a power plant is not easy to explain, but Zhu Changyang carried a large number of electric lights with him and demonstrated it to them.
After this operation, everyone from the city lord to the family heads were amazed and their attitude towards Zhu Changyang became more and more enthusiastic.
There is no doubt that these people will be the first customers of future power plants.
After dealing with the situation for a long time, Zhu Changyang was finally able to get away. He, Jun Shu, Chang Fengchi and the developer hurried back to Shen's Restaurant.
The opening was originally scheduled for tomorrow, but the trip to Fubiao Mountain delayed it for more than a day. I wonder how Shen Zha and Jie Li are preparing.
If the progress is delayed, we will have to postpone it for another day...
Zhu Changyang was thinking as he turned the corner. At this moment, an excited shout came from the front: "Zhu Shaojun is here!"
Zhu Changyang was startled suddenly, looked up and immediately:
In front of me, I saw that the bamboo frame outside Shen’s Restaurant had been dismantled.
According to Zhu Changyang's plan, the wooden frame should not be dismantled until the night before the opening.
Because in the world of cultivation, magic can be used to dismantle things, which is relatively simple and does not require too much time in advance.
Once the shelves were removed, the newly renovated exterior wall was revealed, and the first thing that caught the eye was a large plaque.
The plaque is hung in a relatively modern way, standing vertically on the wall at right angles to the wall so that passers-by on the street can see it from a distance.
However, the plaque is now covered with a red cloth, so its true appearance cannot be seen.
A lot of people gathered outside the restaurant, looking at the restaurant's exterior wall curiously and discussing with each other.
The one who shouted was a waiter in the restaurant. As soon as he finished shouting, Shen Zha and Jie Li walked out of the hotel and quickly came to meet him.
"Brother, you are finally back." Shen Zha was delighted. "I heard about Fubiao Mountain. Congratulations!"
Jie Li was so excited that his face turned red: "Master, this is great!"
Zhu Changyang was still confused: "What's going on with the restaurant..."
"Oh, to celebrate your becoming the master of Fubiao Mountain, I decided to open the business ahead of schedule, so that we can have a double happiness." Shen Zha rubbed his hands and said, "The timing is just right, I just took down the scaffolding outside."
Chang Fengchi suddenly realized: "No wonder you kept asking me when I would be back, I thought you cared about me!"
Shen Zha: "Hehe, how can you not care about me?"
As they were talking, a group of people arrived at the entrance of the restaurant.
At this time, all the waiters of the restaurant had come out and were standing in two neat lines in front of the door, each holding a loudspeaker in his hand.
As soon as Zhu Changyang saw those loudspeakers, he immediately had a bad feeling.
Before he could think about it, the two teams of waiters had already raised their horns and shouted loudly: "Welcome Master Zhu Changyang, the master of Fubiao Mountain, to Shen's Restaurant."
It was deafening and echoed throughout the street.
Not to mention the people who were already watching, even some customers from other stores ran out out of curiosity.
In an instant, all eyes on the road were focused on them.
Especially Zhu Changyang, the Lord of Fubiao Mountain is the hottest topic in Changping Territory right now and the man that the whole city pays the most attention to.
There was a lot of discussion for a while.
"Ah, is it really the Lord of Fubiao Mountain who has come?"
"This Shen family is quite something. Fubiao Mountain just recognized its master and they invited the mountain master here."
"I heard that many people are trying to find out the news about the master of Fubiao Mountain. They must be rushing to the Shen family now."
Zhu Changyang: “…!”
This is what Shen Zha’s double happiness means!
Studio:
[Fuck, this is a socially dead scene! ]
[Hahaha, Changyang's toes can dig out another restaurant on the spot! ]
[You use the loudspeaker to blast others all day long, but you never thought that you would be blasted on yourself!]
[It's so funny, Mr. Shen is an old capitalist, he's so good at freeloading, he just became a free spokesperson! ]
Zhu Changyang wiped his face and wanted to go in quickly, but Shen Zha did not give him a chance.
As soon as the waiter finished shouting, he began to maintain order and asked the crowd to stand further away.
Shen Zha flicked his finger, and a burst of golden light exploded above the restaurant. Spiritual birds that symbolized auspiciousness appeared, hovering in the sky and chirping.
The sound of drums and music then sounded, followed by a few roars, and four auspicious beasts appeared, causing passers-by to scream in surprise, and then they disappeared in an instant.
The developer was so excited that he kept shouting “meow meow”. If Zhu Changyang hadn’t held him down in time, he would have probably rushed up and danced with them.
Zhu Changyang sighed: "Is your opening performance so exciting?"
"What does scroll mean?" Shen Zha asked, "They are illusionists who specialize in this."
Zhu Changyang understood that these days, those who perform opening performances must have some skills and be able to do some fancy moves.
The lively and festive sound of gongs and drums completely woke up the entire street, and more and more people gathered around.
When Manager Yu and Hou Shiyun opened the window of the box and looked out, they saw that the street outside was already packed with people.
The bird's sharp claws hooked and peeled off the red cloth covering the plaque.
The plaque was revealed, and it looked similar to the signs of other stores around it, with the traditional black background and gold letters.
The difference is that this sign is double-sided. If you look closely, you will find that the golden characters on it are not written with gold powder, but have a kind of glass-like luster.
Not only the signboard, but the entire exterior wall of the restaurant is shining with the luster of colored glaze.
At this time, the performance ends and the birds and auspicious beasts disappear.
The passers-by did not leave, but instead stretched their necks to look at Shen's Restaurant with even more curiosity.
I saw that the windows of the entire restaurant had no window paper, and what was used to block the wind and rain were pieces of colored glaze.
The glass is crystal clear and reflects bright light in the evening sunlight.
Shopkeeper Yu and Hou Shiyun:
Colored glass is not a rare thing in the world of cultivation. Larger sects have quite a few of them, but only a few cultivators can use it to make items such as screens. How could mortals afford such luxury
What’s more, it is used as window paper, and it fills up all the windows of a restaurant.
Shopkeeper Yu couldn't believe his eyes and yelled in anger: "Shen Zha, this prodigal son, is so extravagant that he uses this kind of thing to install windows. I'm going to tell his father!"
