The business philosophy of the Ludi Jinqian Chamber of Commerce is quite advanced. In order to expand its popularity, it created the concept of a "brand mascot" and asked the master painter Xuan Daozi to design it. After three revisions, it was finally decided that the first draft would be the mascot.
The first draft was a fat little pig holding coins, and it looked very cute.
After the Jinqian Chamber of Commerce had a brand mascot, it really expanded its popularity and achieved remarkable results. After learning about it, many businesses followed suit and had their own mascots.
The tofu shop on Qianmen Street in Yanjiang County is one of them.
Qin Yuanhao didn't really kill his younger brother. After calming down and thinking about it, he realized that his younger brother was conscientious and never made mistakes. If he couldn't find the person, then it meant he really couldn't find him.
It can't be that the tofu shop's mascot really came out to spread rumors and cause trouble.
"He's so conspicuous and yet we can't find him. It seems like my fellow disciples in the Demon Sect want to frame me!" Qin Yuanhao sneered. He couldn't help but guess that someone did it on purpose, but he didn't know who did it.
This is not uncommon in the Demon Cult, and Qin Yuanhao himself has done things that harmed his companions.
So much time has passed and there are no clues left. Qin Yuanhao can only swallow this loss and slowly figure out who to settle the score with in the future.
"Since you can't find it, there's no need to look for it anymore."
Qin Yuanhao took out a stack of papers and a few silver coins from his arms and threw them to his younger brother.
This is also one of the reasons why no one was killed. Someone has to do the work assigned by the helmsman. Where can we find people if we kill someone
"Early tomorrow morning, you will gather your brothers and go to the eight nearby counties to secretly distribute these papers to the black market. This silver is your monthly salary and travel expenses. Do you understand?"
"Listen, hear it clearly." The younger brother was frightened by Qin Yuanhao's last shout.
"Louder."
"I heard it clearly!" The younger brother straightened his back and shouted again, his neck turning red.
The lady next door shouted angrily, and I could hear her shouting clearly through the wall: "Don't you know what time it is? Why are you shouting?"
The lady next door has a louder voice than me.
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Qin Yuanhao's eyes.
"Brother, the other party is a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, who came here to live in seclusion." The younger brother said hurriedly. Many cultivators like to play around in the world, and maybe those selling skewers on the street are all cultivators.
Qin Yuanhao snorted coldly, left without saying anything more.
The younger brother yawned, thinking that the boss had finally left, and fell asleep.
I have to get up early to work tomorrow.
The younger brothers often received some incomprehensible tasks assigned by Qin Yuanhao. In order to keep it secret, Qin Yuanhao told them nothing and just asked them to do it.
The same is true this time.
When his younger brother fell asleep, Lu Yang crawled out of the soil, took away the three pieces of paper, and followed Qin Yuanhao.
Qin Yuanhao came out just to find his younger brother, and went back after explaining things.
Qin Yuanhao stopped for a moment when he passed by the "Come Again" barbecue restaurant.
"I just closed myself off for four days, and I opened a new barbecue restaurant? And it's so popular?"
Qin Yuanhao came up with the idea of having a meal. Having a lot of people doesn't matter. At most he can just cut in line. It's good enough that you don't have to kneel to greet a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage who comes to your small place to eat. How can you still want to queue up
Qin Yuanhao finally gave up the idea. Barbecue is more fun when there are many people eating together. Eating alone is less fun after all.
"Let's talk about it later."
Qin Yuanhao returns home.
Lu Yang went back to the barbecue restaurant to help out. As soon as he got back, he saw Meng Jingzhou performing a stand-up comedy. The diners were cheering and clamoring for another performance.
Lu Yang took a deep breath and thought, You two really want to make the barbecue restaurant bigger and stronger.
Meng Jingzhou felt Lu Yang's cutting gaze and quickly shut up. He then obediently became a waiter and ignored the diners' calls.
After a busy period, the diners gradually left and the barbecue restaurant was finally quiet.
The two minions tidied up the grill and dishes, counted the ingredients consumed today, and estimated the amount of ingredients needed for tomorrow. The three of them sat on the second floor and talked about today's harvest.
"How much money did you earn today?" Meng Jingzhou asked excitedly, rubbing his hands. Starting a business from scratch gave him a great sense of accomplishment.
"Who told you about this harvest!" Lu Yang slammed the table and glared, "Have you forgotten what we are here for?"
"Open a chain store?" Man Gu was still thinking about making the family business bigger and stronger.
Lu Yang ignored the two idiots, took out three pieces of paper, and repeated what happened during the tracking tonight.
"White paper?"
Meng Jingzhou took a piece of paper and read it front and back, but still couldn't make sense of it.
Lu Yang didn't know how to use this piece of paper: "Qin Yuanhao had people spread these papers to the black market. There must be information on the paper, but I don't know how to read it."
"Is it a unique method of transportation between demons?"
Meng Jingzhou nodded and agreed with Lu Yang's guess: "It's very likely that these sneaky guys always like to use some secret codes or something."
"This is a piece of paper for all the magic cultivators. All the magic cultivators can understand it. With our eyesight at the foundation-building stage, we can't see the words on the paper, and it's even more impossible for the magic cultivators at the Qi training stage to see it."
"So the problem isn't with the code, it's with the paper."
Lu Yang thought about it and roasted the paper over the charcoal fire.
"What is this for?" Man Gu was puzzled.
Lu Yang baked the paper carefully and said casually, "I read in a book that if you write on paper with sugar water, there will be no words on the paper after it dries. You need high temperature to remove the water in the sugar, and the words will appear brown."
Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu found this piece of knowledge very interesting.
After baking for about five minutes, there was nothing on the paper, so Lu Yang had to give up this method.
Lu Yang summoned a small ball of water in his palm again, which suddenly exploded, and the splashing water mist fell on the white paper in an instant.
"What is this for?"
Lu Yang explained: "Special liquids like shower gel and laundry detergent absorb water very well. If you write with these special liquids, you won't be able to see anything after they dry. Only by sprinkling water on the paper and taking advantage of the different water absorption rates can the words appear."
The Central Continent looks like it is from ancient times, but in fact it is not. Due to the existence of magic, whether intentional or coincidental, many products that do not belong to ancient times have appeared here.
For example, the shower gel and laundry detergent mentioned by Lu Yang.
Unfortunately, nothing shows up on paper.
Lu Yang was not discouraged. He pondered for a moment and came up with a new idea.
"Since this is a way for the demons to communicate with each other, perhaps we need to use the usual methods of the demons to unlock it?"
Lu Yang bit his thumb and a few drops of blood dripped onto the paper. The blood seemed to come alive and flowed on the paper.
"Sure enough, this is the magic way of refining paper, which cannot be judged by common sense." Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, finally succeeded.
There seem to be invisible grooves on the white paper, and the blood will fill the grooves as it flows through them, forming words.
"On the first day of April, the Immortal Cult will recruit followers at Yanjiangduo. The specific location will be announced the day before the recruitment."
