The mont Monk finished speaking, Xin Lin heard the voice of the Heaven-Defying Book in her mind.
"Congratulations, life master, for completing a random task, and obtaining 25 regular custors, rewarded with one Phoebe wood sign."
The next mont, a wooden box appeared in front of Xin Lin.
This was not the first ti Xin Lin had received a reward from the Life Book, and she knew others couldn’t see the wooden sign box, so she unflappably placed the box to one side.
"Elder Master, please to take your seat here. Manager Ma, have soone wrap up the buns and send them while they’re still hot to Taichang Temple, and make sure not to delay the elders’ al."
Xin Lin’s smile was an epito of fawning.
Ma Jingtian could only secretly swallow his saliva and hurried off with a sour look on his face.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with the plump Monk, Xin Lin learned that it was an elder from the temple who had tried the Delicious Spiritual Delicacy Buns and couldn’t stop praising them, which led them to Chu’s Restaurant after inquiring with a young monk.
"Indeed, no pain, no gain. This ti, we owe a big thanks to Monk Fengxi."
Xin Lin grinned from ear to ear. Unfortunately, she had promised Pride Corpse not to deliver buns to Feng Xi anymore.
But then she thought, well, she could just co up with a new vegetarian dish next ti and send it to Feng Xi.
After all, she had only promised Pride Corpse not to send any more buns!
"Little Boss, all sold out. Our buns will be Taichang Temple’s special supply from now on. Should we use this title and raise the price?"
Ma Jingtian turned his head and calculated that just from two hundred buns, and one hundred bowls of cabbage soup, selling each bun for one tael and each bowl of soup for 500 cents, the daily inco could be two hundred and fifty taels.
That’s 7,500 taels a month. After deducting the cost and labor, the inco of thousands of taels was enough to provide a very comfortable living for everyone from Chu Mansion and the Water Wraith Gang.
Suddenly, Ma Jingtian felt that selling buns wasn’t all that bad, a steadier business than being a local ruffian.
"Short-sighted. Have you seen De Yue Building raising their prices? We are a Spiritual Food Restaurant; the buns are just to attract custors—bait to draw in the crowd!"
Xin Lin lectured.
Her goal was to earn Heaven-defying Value.
While Xin Lin had not previously placed much importance on Heaven-defying Value, she had other plans after discovering the special uses of Qi Stones.
Until she found the Golden Crow Egg Shell, she would occasionally use Qi Stones to treat Silly Chu’s ailnts.
There’s also making Wind Breath Roast Pork, feeding Gui Hu and the Overlord Egg, and not to ntion Xin Lin needed Qi Stones for her own cultivation - all these require Heaven-defying Value. Xin Lin calculated that she still needed to sell buns for one silver each!
"Little Boss, you’re right, but we don’t have a Spiritual Delicacy Master."
Ma Jingtian muttered.
Although Chu’s Restaurant had made so money from selling buns, it was still a bit shy of affording a Spiritual Delicacy Master.
"Ti will tell, we’ll be able to afford one eventually. To restore Chu’s Restaurant to its forr glory, I even ordered a special sign."
As Xin Lin spoke, she symbolically turned around and opened the small wooden box.
Certainly, there was a sign inside the box.
The sign was made of Phoebe wood, and not just any Phoebe wood, but extrely rare Golden Phoebe.
The sign was approximately five feet long and three feet wide, with beautiful golden grains on the reddish-brown Phoebe wood, and "Chu’s Restaurant" was written in flourishing calligraphy.
"Life Book, this thing looks pretty, but aside from that, what’s so special about it?"
Xin Lin glanced at the Golden Phoebe wood sign and quietly asked.
