"Uh... Don’t rush, eat slowly, there’s more." Bai Linwan watched their ravenous eating and worried they might choke to death.
They wolfed down the food as if they hadn’t eaten in months.
Watching them, even Bai Linwan couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Why does it look so delicious when they eat?
Is it really that tasty?
Maybe I should try it for dinner too?
"Shopkeeper Bai." Chen Guan, mouth full of food, mumbled, "Can I buy a portion to take away later? I want to bring so back for my junior sister to try."
"Uh." Bai Linwan hurriedly instructed soone to pack a portion to go for everyone who ca.
This excited everyone; they could have it again at night, sothing they dread of during their ti in the Ghostly Realm.
Such occurrences weren’t limited to No Interval City.
The sa situation happened wherever an Evergreen Comrce Association opened; none of the shopkeepers expected self-heating als to sell the best.
However, due to requirents from above, only twenty to thirty self-heating als were made daily, so even when the disciples wanted to buy many to take back, there simply weren’t enough.
Changgu State.
At this location, the Evergreen Comrce Association was just as vibrant. Due to an early start, recent business was thriving, to the envy of other associations.
But they had no choice; despite their envy, they dared not act.
After all, the Evergreen Comrce Association was under the protection of the Iron Saber Sect.
By noon, scores of Iron Saber Sect disciples arrived at the Evergreen Comrce Association, creating a massive scene, which happened almost daily. This further discouraged other associations from causing trouble.
"Shopkeeper, give us self-heating als."
Iron Saber Sect disciples shouted with their booming voices as they entered, each towering over nine feet, their eyes gleaming with hunger as they yearned for self-heating als.
Seeing this, Zhao Yichuan, the president of the Changgu State Evergreen Comrce Association, couldn’t help but smile wryly, saying, "You all have been eating self-heating als for a month now, haven’t you? Aren’t you tired of it yet?"
"Haha, it’s delicious! We never get tired of it!" the lead disciple of the Iron Saber Sect laughed heartily.
Little did they know, Li Changqing’s trick had left a deep impression of self-heating als in their hearts.
"Alright then."
Zhao Yichuan hurriedly had soone bring up the self-heating als.
The pricing for self-heating als actually wasn’t cheap.
Each al cost two silver coins, and for these dozens of disciples, it amounted to quite a few taels, enough for a big feast at a restaurant. Yet, they were obsessed with eating self-heating als, sothing Zhao Yichuan couldn’t understand.
No matter how delicious, how had Iron Saber Sect’s disciples managed to eat it daily for a month?
For the Evergreen Comrce Association, self-heating als were just a small part; the real profit ca from tea orders.
Evergreen Comrce Association’s tea had beco wildly popular throughout the Eastern Wilderness in these two months.
Thanks to their popular stir-fried tea, orders were absurdly high, to the point of being oversubscribed, with orders booked up to six months ahead.
The profits of these two months had brought joy to many families in Changting Town!
This inco exceeded what they had earned in the past several years, and the small families in Changting Town finally gained confidence.
Due to the popularity of their tea, many-comrce associations bought the tea to study, trying to figure out Evergreen Comrce Association’s secret.
So associations, with a bit of skill, noticed after so ti that the tea had been stir-fried.
So they also followed Evergreen Comrce Association’s thod and stir-fried the tea.
But when they finished frying, they found it was incomparable to Evergreen Comrce Association’s tea.
They were completely different.
The difference was significant.
They later speculated it might be due to poor control of heat, so they tried various levels of heat for frying. Unfortunately, in the end, they wasted a lot of tea but still couldn’t reproduce Evergreen Comrce Association’s tea.
It left them completely baffled.
Little did they know, Evergreen Comrce Association used their hands to fry the tea, while they used iron shovels, which removed much of the tea’s aroma, making it incomparable.
They could only watch Evergreen Comrce Association rake in money while they were helpless.
During these two months, Li Hengsheng had written to Li Changqing multiple tis.
His letters mainly brought good news, telling Li Changqing he had won first place in the Ghostly Realm trials. Besides that, they included daily trivialities, reminding Li Changqing to take care of his health.
Regarding the dangers of the Ghostly Realm trials, Li Hengsheng ntioned nothing, to spare Li Changqing any worry.
And this morning, Li Changqing unexpectedly received a gift.
This gift also ca from the Mountain Ancient Land.
"Mr. Changqing, your son sent another letter." Zhang Fuguang placed the letter and gift on the table.
Curious, Li Changqing opened the letter and was surprised to find out that today, the ninth day of the eighth month, was his birthday?
Li Changqing himself didn’t even know when his birthday was.
He didn’t expect Li Hengsheng to rember.
Besides blessings, the letter said this gift was particularly aningful, granted by the sect, and he had saved it to give to Li Changqing today.
