Chapter 71: Even if I have to be my boss’s concubine, I’m willing!

The facade of Jade Cuisine Pavilion looked ordinary, and the decoration was relatively simple and unadorned, not as good as the Lu family’s spirit talisman shop.

But the business inside was very good, and it wasn’t even lunchtime yet, but more than half the seats were filled.

After the two found a place to sit down, Lu Miaoge ordered two dishes and two servings of spirit rice from the waiter.

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but smile and said, “Sister Miaoge, you don’t have to save money for me. I’ve saved some spirit stones over the years.”

His conditions had also improved in the past six months.

So he had quite a few spirit stones left.

Before going out, he counted them, a total of three hundred and six.

He left thirty spirit stones at home as household expenses, and took the rest with him.

So he wouldn’t be stingy when treating Lu Miaoge to a meal.

“Two dishes are enough for us to eat, more would be a waste.”

Lu Miaoge said with a light smile.

In the past six months, they had been studying talisman-making together at the Fourth Elder’s place, and the two had become much more familiar.

This light smile was no longer as distant as it had been at the beginning, but just a polite smile, which seemed much more natural.

“Okay.”

Lu Changsheng said, hearing this, without saying much more.

Before long, the waiter brought a water lily the size of a washbasin and placed it on the table.

The water lily bud automatically opened, revealing the two dishes and two bowls of crystal-clear spirit rice inside, steaming and fragrant.

“This ‘Carp Soup’ is the specialty here, made with the red-blooded carp from the Yu family of Bihu Mountain. I order it every time I come, you can try it.”

Lu Miaoge pointed to a fish soup with perfect color, aroma, and taste.

“The red-blooded carp from the Yu family of Bihu Mountain? Could it be that this restaurant is opened by the Yu family of Bihu Mountain?”

Lu Changsheng asked in surprise upon hearing this.

The Yu family of Bihu Mountain was also a major immortal cultivation family under the jurisdiction of the Qingyun Sect.

There were three Foundation Establishment cultivators in the family, which was a level stronger than the Lu family of Qingzhu Mountain.

And this red-blooded carp was a specialty of Bihu Mountain.

A bit like the Jade Bamboo Wine and Emerald Spirit Rice of Qingzhu Mountain.

“The owner of this restaurant married a daughter of the Yu family of Bihu Mountain, so he can stably purchase a batch of red-blooded carp from the Yu family every month.”

Lu Miaoge said softly.

“I see.”

Lu Changsheng nodded, didn’t ask much, and tasted a mouthful of carp soup.

Immediately, he felt a rich but not greasy umami flavor spread from his mouth all the way to his stomach, then to his abdomen, and then to his brain, leaving him with a long aftertaste.

“Delicious!”

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but exclaim.

He thought that he was already used to delicacies and delicacies in the Lu family, but this carp soup was indeed fresh.

“The chef here is also a spirit chef, right?”

Lu Changsheng asked.

Although this red-blooded carp was a kind of spirit fish, without a spirit chef, it was impossible to make this kind of taste.

“That’s right, the chef here is the owner of this restaurant, and he is a spirit chef.”

“His prices here are more favorable compared to other places, so business has always been very good.”

Lu Miaoge said softly.

She also pointed to another dish and said, “This is Tu Lou meat, the taste is also very good, and it is also one of the specialties here.”

Lu Changsheng picked up a piece of meat to taste, the skin was crispy and the meat was tender, the gravy was overflowing, smooth and refreshing, and couldn’t help but pick up another piece.

He nodded and praised, “Delicious.”

At this time, he saw that Lu Miaoge didn’t move her chopsticks, just watching him enjoy the food.

He couldn’t help but say, “Sister Miaoge, why don’t you eat, eat together.”

“Okay.”

Lu Miaoge nodded lightly, then picked up her chopsticks and picked up the Tu Lou meat.

Her eating movements were very elegant, but the speed at which she ate was very fast.

Lu Changsheng had only eaten two or three bites, but she had already eaten seven or eight bites.

When Lu Changsheng had only eaten half a bowl of rice, Lu Miaoge had already finished eating.

“Uh”

Lu Changsheng was a little surprised to see this scene.

He couldn’t believe that Lu Miaoge, such an elegant and immortal woman, would actually behave like this when eating.

“I usually eat faster”

Lu Miaoge also felt that she was a little rude, a little embarrassed, and a blush appeared on her beautiful and refined face.

“It’s okay, it’s okay, I eat too slowly.”

Lu Changsheng smiled, feeling that the eldest lady in front of him suddenly became a lot more cute and approachable.

Sure enough, there are not so many fairies and goddesses in the world who can only be viewed from a distance and cannot be desecrated.

It’s just that the gap between the two is too big, making the other party look unattainable, and only then will there be this feeling, an illusion.

After really getting close and getting along, it’s just like that.

He immediately beckoned for the waiter to add two more dishes and rice.

“No need, I’m full.”

Lu Miaoge said upon seeing this, took out a handkerchief and gently wiped her mouth.

“Okay.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t force her upon hearing this, and then finished the remaining food and went to pay the bill.

Two dishes and two servings of spirit rice, a total of four spirit stones.

No wonder Lu Miaoge only ordered two dishes, because the price was indeed a bit expensive.

Like when he first came to the Lu family, he only had two spirit stones a month.

Now a meal cost four spirit stones.

However, Lu Changsheng didn’t feel too distressed.

He felt that the price was still okay.

The carp soup and Tu Lou meat were both spirit food, and the rice was also spirit rice, which could nourish the body after eating.

He could still feel the spiritual energy slowly flowing in his dantian, lower abdomen, and meridians.

Moreover, the process of tasting food made people feel satisfied and very happy.

It’s just that he thought Lu Miaoge was so cute when eating, thinking that he could invite Lu Miaoge to dinner more often in the future to get closer.

But now that he thinks about it, he should forget it.

His current financial resources do not allow it.

It will be almost enough when all the talismans on his body are sold and exchanged for spirit stones.

“Sister Miaoge, is there a place for loose cultivators to set up stalls and trade in this Nine Dragons Market?”

Lu Changsheng asked Lu Miaoge.

He also wanted to sell talismans and buy natural treasures for cultivating the Hundred Refinements Precious Body Technique on this trip.

So he wanted to go to the place where loose cultivators set up stalls to take a look first.

“At the junction of the West and South Districts, there are several streets that are specially opened for people to set up stalls for free trade.”

“Although things there are a bit cheaper than in the shops, there are a lot of scams and deceptions, and there is no possibility of finding a bargain.”

“If you want to buy something, try to find a regular shop to buy it.”

Lu Miaoge guessed Lu Changsheng’s intention upon hearing this, and reminded him.

“I’m just curious about this kind of stall, I want to take a look and broaden my knowledge.”

Lu Changsheng smiled and said.

He didn’t have any ideas about finding a bargain or being greedy for cheap, after all.

After all, these loose cultivators are all scrambling and crawling at the bottom, and they are all very shrewd. Without some means, how can you find a bargain from them.

In the meantime, the two walked back to the spirit talisman shop.

“Sister Lu!”

At this moment, a milky voice sounded.

Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw a dignified, graceful, and plump young woman in front, holding a three- or four-year-old little girl, carrying a food box, and walking towards here.

It was the little girl in the young woman’s arms who waved and shouted at Lu Miaoge.

“Shopkeeper.”

This young woman was wearing a goose-yellow, simple dress, her black hair was tied into a woman’s bun, and a black wooden hairpin was inserted diagonally, which looked dignified and elegant.

Seeing Lu Miaoge, she also walked over quickly, bowed slightly, and said softly.

Her face was not very beautiful, only fair, with curved willow eyebrows, peach lips and apricot eyes, and a delicate nose, with a mature and charming young woman’s charm.

But her skin was very white, whether it was her fair face or the skin on her neck and neckline, it was all snow-white and delicate, powdery and soft.

This snow-white skin like condensed fat and plump and round proud figure made the young woman look like a ripe peach, giving people a feeling of fullness and juiciness.

“Aunt Bai, Nannan, come to deliver meals to Uncle Zhang.”

Lu Miaoge obviously knew the two, and nodded with a light smile.

She transmitted her voice to Lu Changsheng: “This is Zhang Shan’s wife and daughter, they come to deliver meals to Zhang Shan every day.”

Zhang Shan in the spirit talisman shop also saw his wife and daughter coming, and immediately got up and walked out the door quickly.

First, he cupped his hands slightly to Lu Miaoge and Lu Changsheng aside, and then explained: “Second shopkeeper, this is my clumsy wife, here to deliver meals to me.”

“It’s okay.”

Lu Changsheng smiled.

Knowing that the latter explained this because he was worried that he, the new shopkeeper, would have an opinion.

He naturally didn’t care about this kind of thing and wouldn’t say anything.

It’s just that he didn’t expect that Zhang Shan looked like he was fifty years old.

His wife was not only an immortal cultivator, but also so young, and the child was only three or four years old.

But thinking about it, this kind of thing is also very normal.

Most immortal cultivators choose to get married and have children when they are old.

Moreover, this woman looks mature and charming, only twenty-eight or nine years old, but the actual age is not necessarily so.

After all, most female cultivators will buy beauty pills and youth-preserving pills.

Like Lu Miaoge, she had obviously also taken youth-preserving pills.

Compared to when Lu Changsheng first saw her five years ago, her appearance was almost the same, and she still looked like she was twenty years old.

This made Lu Changsheng think about buying a youth-preserving pill for his wives and concubines as well.

His cultivation of the Immortal Appearance Technique can not only enhance his charm, but also maintain his youthful appearance forever.

But his wives and concubines cannot, and except for Lu Miaoyun and Qu Zhenzhen who can cultivate, the others are mortals and will gradually grow old.

However, considering the price of the Beauty Preservation Pill, and the fact that he needed to prepare gifts, more than a dozen at once, Lu Changsheng could only temporarily dismiss the idea.

Lu Miaoge didn’t chat much with Zhang Shan, only nodding slightly before leading Lu Changsheng to the third floor with a cool expression.

She usually spent most of her time on the third floor, either cultivating and resting, or drawing talismans, rarely being on the first floor.

Now, the third floor had an additional Lu Changsheng.

However, Lu Miaoge and Lu Changsheng were already quite familiar with each other, and she didn’t mind being alone with him in the same room.

At this time, Lu Miaoge also said to Lu Changsheng that although Zhang Shan was an old employee of the shop, she couldn’t show too much closeness to him.

If she was too close, it would be difficult to manage him in the future.

Lu Changsheng naturally understood this principle and nodded in agreement.

The newest novels are first published at 69shu.com!

Afterward, Lu Miaoge discussed some shop matters and management experience with Lu Changsheng.

These were all simple and easy-to-understand experiences, and Lu Changsheng understood most of the principles.

After all, even if he hadn’t eaten pork, he had seen pigs run.

In his previous life, under the baptism of big data, Lu Changsheng still knew a lot about the art of managing people.

Of course, knowing was one thing, but putting it into practice was definitely another.

“Sister Miaoge, I used to think you were the kind of fairy who didn’t eat the food of the mortal world. I didn’t expect you to know so much. It makes me feel like I’m getting to know you all over again.”

After listening to Lu Miaoge’s words, Lu Changsheng joked with a smile.

Today, he had seen another side of Lu Miaoge, so he wouldn’t be as restrained in their conversations as before.

Lu Miaoge couldn’t help but smile upon hearing this, like a fairy flower blooming, incomparably moving.

“I don’t even know if you’re praising me or mocking me with those words.”

“But I’ll just take it as a compliment.”

Lu Miaoge’s eyebrows were like paintings, and she said with a faint smile, “Alright, I’m going to make talismans. You can go to the lounge to rest or cultivate.”

“Usually, there’s nothing much to do in the shop, and Zhang Shan and the others will come to inform you if there’s anything.”

Lu Miaoge said this, then got up and went to the talisman room to calm her mind and make talismans.

Lu Changsheng nodded and went to the lounge to rest.

After all, he hadn’t had much rest in the past two days of traveling.

Although he wasn’t particularly sleepy or tired, he still needed to recover his mental fatigue through sleep.

After a short nap, Lu Changsheng saw that Lu Miaoge was still in the talisman room and felt a little bored, so he found something to do and went to the second floor.

He wanted to see the talisman-making skills of Li Shi and Wang Wu and prepare to guide them in their talisman-making techniques.

He possessed the second-order talisman-making skills given by the system, and his basic knowledge of talismans was extremely solid.

It was completely incomparable to those who relied on their own learning and research.

Not to mention guiding two talisman apprentices.

Even his grandmother, the Fourth Elder of the Lu family, a top-tier first-order talisman master, he could give some pointers.

“Second Boss!”

“Second Boss!”

In the workshop on the second floor, Li Shi and Wang Wu, who were making talisman paper, saw Lu Changsheng coming and their eyes lit up immediately, stopping their work and calling out sweetly.

Their voices were a few degrees softer than usual.

“I’m here to see how your talisman-making skills are and to guide you in making talismans,”

Lu Changsheng said.

The two women in front of him were not bad-looking, not extremely beautiful, but still considered pretty.

After all, they were descendants of cultivators, and their genes were generally not bad.

However, he didn’t have any ideas about the two women in front of him.

Although he wanted to find a woman with spiritual roots to have children.

But he wouldn’t just ask any woman he met to have children for him.

Besides, he had just come to the shop and hadn’t done anything yet, and he would be making a move on the apprentices, what kind of image would that be?

It would not only affect Lu Miaoge and the Fourth Elder’s perception of him.

His reputation in the Lu family, which had just improved a little, would be ruined again.

It wasn’t necessary, it wouldn’t be worth it.

“Thank you, Second Boss.”

“Second Boss, please have a seat.”

The two women looked at Lu Changsheng and said sweetly, arranging a chair and making tea.

“Which talismans have you learned now?”

Lu Changsheng waved his hand and asked.

Immediately, the two women said the talismans they knew.

They had both been in the spirit talisman shop for five or six years, and each knew ten or twenty basic talismans.

This was also because, as apprentices, they had to create profits for the shop and had to learn many different talismans.

Although basic talismans didn’t earn much money, as a spirit talisman shop, they had to have enough types of talismans.

“Okay, show me the talismans you’ve been practicing recently.”

Lu Changsheng nodded.

Immediately, the two women took out their talisman brushes, talisman paper, and spirit ink, and began to make talismans.

“Pfft!”

At this time, Li Shi was halfway through drawing when she failed, and the talisman paper emitted green smoke.

She immediately said to Lu Changsheng with some nervousness and stuttering, “Second Boss, I’m sorry, I, I’m a little nervous.”

She was usually very cheerful, but in front of Lu Changsheng, she couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.

“What’s there to be nervous about? I’m not some monster or beast, and I won’t eat people. Just continue if you fail.”

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but smile and waved his hand.

Hearing Lu Changsheng’s comfort and seeing his smile, a blush immediately appeared on Li Shi’s delicate face.

She felt a little breathless and her heart beat faster.

There were many handsome men in the world.

But how many men were handsome, had a good family background, and were also a middle-grade talisman master?

At least Li Shi usually had no contact with such men, so Lu Changsheng’s smile made Li Shi’s heart flutter, making her even more nervous.

“Why is your face as red as a teapot!”

Lu Changsheng was a little speechless when he saw the other party’s blushing face and lovestruck look.

I haven’t even done anything yet, and you’re already like this?

“Unknowingly, my charm has become so great?”

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

He suddenly realized that he was no longer the same person he used to be.

Not only was he handsome, but he was also young, rich, and promising.

Hmph, vulgar woman!

Lu Changsheng restrained his smile, his expression indifferent, and his tone calm, “Continue.”

At this moment, he vaguely understood why Lu Miaoge didn’t like to smile and always had a calm and detached look.

This was the trouble of being good-looking.

“Yes, Second Boss.”

Li Shi nodded quickly upon hearing this, immediately calmed down, and didn’t dare to look at Lu Changsheng too much, and started drawing talismans again.

Lu Changsheng could see that the two women were quite solid in their basic talismans.

They were almost ready to try learning to draw low-grade talismans.

However, he didn’t have the idea of teaching the two women to draw low-grade talismans for the time being.

Once the two women started learning to draw low-grade talismans, most of their time and energy would be spent on low-grade talismans.

Their current work would be delayed.

It was better to let the two women continue to build a foundation, and then try low-grade talismans after they were completely solid.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng pointed out and taught the two women to make talismans with a calm expression.

He made the two apprentices feel that this Second Boss spoke more thoroughly than the Great Boss, making it easier to understand and benefiting them greatly.

“Alright, you guys practice more on your own usually.”

“After a while, if you perform well, I’ll teach you low-grade talismans.”

After Lu Changsheng drew a pie, he left the second floor.

He could clearly feel that even if he showed an indifferent expression, he still couldn’t dissuade the two women.

It was estimated that as long as he beckoned, these two apprentices would take the initiative to stick to him.

However, he still didn’t have any ideas.

It was still that sentence, it wasn’t necessary, it wouldn’t be worth it.

“Speaking of which, is this considered good luck with women?”

Lu Changsheng suddenly thought.

“Thank you, Second Boss!”

“Thank you, Second Boss!”

Hearing this, the two women were overjoyed, and the gazes they looked at Lu Changsheng with seemed to be dripping with water.

Handsome, with a good family background, and also a middle-grade talisman master, he was simply the dream lover.

“If I could marry the Second Boss, that would be great.”

Li Shi whispered after seeing Lu Changsheng’s disappearing back.

“Little girl, you’re infatuated and your heart is throbbing, right?”

Wang Wu joked from the side.

“The Second Boss is so handsome, speaks so gently, and is also a middle-grade talisman master, don’t you like him?”

Li Shi said confidently in the face of Wang Wu’s teasing.

“I like him, but so what if I like him, how can we be worthy of this Second Boss? I would be satisfied even if I married him as a concubine.”

Wang Wu also said confidently.

Li Shi was a little discouraged when she heard this.

There were more men than women in the cultivation world, so young female cultivators were very popular.

Like the two of them, they naturally had suitors on weekdays, and many people came to propose marriage.

But they had some talent in talisman-making and were expected to become entry-level talisman masters in the future.

As long as they became talisman masters, even if they were only entry-level talisman masters, they could marry into a good family when the time came.

But at this time, in front of Lu Changsheng, thinking of marriage, she couldn’t help but feel a little inferior.
