The taste of the baozi is perfectly fine.
The people are still the sa.
The only difference is that Chu’s Restaurant no longer has its signboard.
So, where could the problem be?
Xin Lin pondered for a mont and imdiately consulted the Heaven-defying Book.
After deducting 10 Heaven-defying Value, the Heaven-defying Book replied.
"Life Book Tip: Chu’s Restaurant is ranked 100th among all Spiritual Food Restaurants in Purple Cloud City, 204th in the entire city, with 0 regular custors and 0 reputation."
The response from the Heaven-defying Book made Xin Lin’s heart sink to the bottom in an instant.
Just a re month of closure, and it went right back to square one?
This was exactly like the situation when Xin Lin first took over Chu’s Restaurant.
"The old custors haven’t returned. The baozi sent to Taichang Temple was declined because the Minister of Imperial Sacrificial Worship is not around lately. They’ve found another place to get vegetarian baozi, which is donated for free and is just as good as ours."
Ma Jingtian scratched his head in distress.
Custors forget much more easily than Xin Lin expected.
A month of not opening, they can’t just stop eating baozi, so they all went to the new baozi shop.
Especially since Ma Jingtian ntioned another baozi shop.
For a baozi shop that can be accepted by Taichang Temple, it must not be simple.
"Don’t worry for now. You take so people and look around the city to see which baozi shop it is. Also, don’t waste the remaining baozi; give them to the beggars, the elderly, and children, and say they’re gifts from Chu’s Restaurant."
Although Heaven-defying Value is not much, Xin Lin still has a considerable amount of silver taels.
The act of the baozi shop giving out free baozi gave Xin Lin an idea.
To revive Chu’s Restaurant, so strategies are needed.
Upon hearing this, Ma Jingtian took several gang mbers and went out for a walk.
Xin Lin picked up a White Jade Stead Bun, took a bite; it tasted as it always had.
The new baozi shop that made her old custors disappear piqued her curiosity.
Xin Lin thought for a while, packed a few baozi, and headed towards the city.
It was already noon, and most of the shops in Purple Cloud City were open.
Xin Lin first went to the Alchemy Hall and handed today’s batch to Jiang Qing.
"I heard that Chu’s Restaurant has reopened. Congratulations, congratulations. I don’t have much to offer, so I had a signboard made for you."
Jiang Qing had soone make a signboard for Xin Lin.
"This signboard?"
Xin Lin was taken aback when she saw the signboard.
Isn’t this... a coffin board?
Xin Lin widened her eyes, staring at the signboard.
Although the words on it were re-engraved, the material and size were indeed a Phoebe Wood Sign?
Wasn’t it hanging in the De Yue Building? How did it end up in Jiang Qing’s hands?
"You recognize it? I bought this signboard from De Yue Building. A few days ago, Master Chen sent this signboard to be auctioned at the Black Shining Market, priced at five thousand taels. Seeing that the material was excellent and knowing your shop would reopen soon, I bought it. However, the on might not be good, so I had the high monks of Taichang Temple recite scriptures over it for a few days to consecrate it. If you don’t mind, you can accept it."
Jiang Qing was ticulous and knew that soone like Master Chen wouldn’t part with any good stuff easily.
There must be sothing wrong with this signboard.
But the signboard was indeed of good quality. After so thought, he decided to take the risk and buy it back.
A consecrated signboard?
Xin Lin looked at the Phoebe Wood Sign, and the surrounding Ghost Energy had indeed faded sowhat. This could be considered regained.
As Xin Lin hesitated, a familiar cold snort reached her ears.
~ Since both new and old books should have a big burst of updates next month, Da Fu needs to start stockpiling content. I still rember the three Chapters owed at the beginning of the month, and I will make it up. For now, regular updates will be the priority. ~
