As night fell, the sect members began to crave a wonderful and relaxing meal.
A short distance from the martial training ground, there was an inconspicuous little shop. Without any organization, people, attracted by the aroma, unanimously chose this place, the Come Again BBQ Shop.
Just like the name of the barbecue shop, customers who have eaten once wanted to come again to satisfy their ever-hungry stomachs.
Many customers who came here for barbecue were drawn by the Barbarian tribe specialty lamb dish. The Barbarian barbecue formula, passed down for hundreds of thousands of years from ancient times to the present, remains ever popular.
The barbecue formula must be prepared on the same day. The Barbarian ancestors had a deep understanding of mixing spices for roasting beef and lamb. The subtle difference in the taste of skewers among the more than ten barbecue shops in the Dao Seeking Sect lies in these spices.
Master Liu, also serving as the Vice Sect Master of the Undying Sect, had a different opinion. He believed that the best ingredients only need the simplest cooking methods. For skewers, the most important things are the heat and the heart.
Master Liu treated each skewering session as a battle, giving it his all without slack, remaining calm and meticulous in controlling the heat even when orders piled up like a mountain, immersed in his own world.
Eating is like going to war, a timeless truth. A well-operated barbecue shop naturally also requires the cooperation of logistics staff.
The logistics staff at the Come Again barbecue shop, serving as temporary employees, had never dealt with such things before. However, they seemed naturally fit for the job, serving customers with a tacit understanding; one kept the accounts, another cleaned up, and another washed the dishes, coordinating perfectly like brothers.
However, no shop is perfect, and no matter how well they cooperated, there were still those who were absent-minded and distracted.
Whats the matter with you, Little Lu? Cant you focus on your work? Master Gao, also serving as the Vice Sect Master of the Undying Sect, scolded Little Lu for his lack of concentration.
Lu Yang:
Was I too hasty in becoming the sect master of the Undying Sect? This Undying Sect doesnt seem to have much of a future; maybe I should just honestly be a disciple of the Dao Seeking Sect.
You want to leave the sect? The Everlasting Fairy stared at Lu Yang with a displeased expression, daring to talk about leaving the sect in front of the faith itself.
Fairy, do you have something else to do? If not, please go back to sleep.
Of course, theres something. Go tell Little Gao that the way hes grilling the skewers is wrong. Theyre too tender. Use a higher flame, it needs to have a charred flavor to be strong enough.
Hurry up and say it, this is a command from a deity. The Everlasting Fairy urged.
In ancient times, whatever she said was taken very seriously, considered as divine guidance. People would analyze her words from various angles.
Now, she doesnt receive the same treatment; Lu Yang acts as if he didnt hear her at all.
Barbarian Bone secretly found Lu Yang, looking worried: Brother Lu, this cant go on.
Lu Yang was pleased, thinking someone finally realized there was a problem.
We didnt prepare so many skewers; at this rate, well soon be sold out!
Lu Yang began to reflect, wondering if the problem was with Barbarian Bones thinking or his own.
What, were running out of skewers? One of the high-level members of the Undying Sect changed his expression upon hearing this; this was no small matter.
This high-level member, named Jiang Yitian, was responsible for collecting payments.
Then go out and buy more quickly!
Barbarian Bone shook his head: The skewers are marinated in advance. The quality of meat bought now cannot be guaranteed, not to mention theres not enough time for marination.
As a member of the ancient Barbarian tribe, Barbarian Bone couldnt tarnish the brand of the Barbarian barbecue.
Very principled! praised the Everlasting Fairy. In ancient times, she also tasted the Barbarian barbecue, which was indeed exceptional, though it didnt focus on nutritional balance.
The Everlasting Fairy always paid attention to nutritional balance in cooking and had given the Barbarian tribe constructive improvement suggestions, but the tribe didnt listen and stood firm in their ways.
By the time the competition on the martial training ground reached the end of the Nascent Soul group, the skewers were sold out completely.
Everyone began to summarize todays earnings.
Damn it, werent we here to cause trouble for the Dao Seeking Sect? What are you all doing, playing house here? Vice Sect Master Liu took the initiative to scold, realizing he had been too engrossed in barbecuing and neglected their mission, but he couldnt possibly admit his mistake in public.
True to the nature of a demonic cult vice sect master, skilled at doing wrong, he was quick to blame others before being accused.
Vice Sect Master Gao also reprimanded everyone: Where are your principles? Are you doing your tasks so carelessly, worthy of the Everlasting Celestial?
What everyone stifled in their hearts was that it was the two of them who were the most engrossed just now.
Jiang Yitian, who was in charge of collecting payments, thought for a moment and seriously said: Is it still possible for us to switch to running a barbecue shop now?
Another high-ranking member raised his eyebrows: What do you mean, open a barbecue shop? Are you planning to abandon your faith in the Everlasting Celestial?
But really, running a barbecue shop in the Dao Seeking Sect makes a lot of money.
The high-ranking member disdainfully said: How much can you earn?
As much as a months offerings for all of us combined.
The high-ranking member lowered his head in thought: Keeping the Everlasting Celestial statue on one side and running a barbecue shop on the other doesnt seem to conflict with the teachings.
Vice Sect Master Liu scolded the high-ranking member for being unsteady in his principles: This is absurd, we, as loyal believers of the Everlasting Celestial, how could you have such a
Its as much as a months offerings for all of us combined.
Having such an idea is a fortune for the Undying Sect!
Vice Sect Master Liu changed his tune, starting to plan for the future: We can open chain stores, covering the entire continent, not only solving the employment problem for the sect members but also making money. By then, well be major taxpayers in the Great Xia Dynasty!
Vice Sect Master Gao angrily said: Have you considered whether the prices elsewhere will be as outrageous as in the Dao Seeking Sect, whether the holiday consumption level can be the same as usual? Youre only looking at the immediate profits, not considering the long-term! Most importantly, once we open chain stores, who can guarantee that all sect members barbecuing skills will be the same as ours!
Prepare to depart, to the martial training ground!
Lu Yang sighed secretly, the original plan was to use the customers to keep them occupied, giving them a chance, but unfortunately, the skewers sold too quickly, not lasting until the end of the event.
To maximize the effect of the Yellow Millet Pillow, specific positions are needed. Little Lu, you three lead us to scout the martial training ground. Once the moment comes, immediately activate the immortal treasure. By then, youll be the great contributors!
Lu Yang, with a solemn expression, looked as if ready to make a noble sacrifice: We dont seek credit, dedicating ourselves to the Undying Sect is our duty!
Good, I indeed wasnt wrong about you! Vice Sect Master Liu greatly appreciated Lu Yang, truly a person under the sect masters special attention, indeed with commendable qualities.
Under the leadership of the Undying Sects patriarch, the subordinates arrived at the martial training ground and dispersed to their positions.
Vice Sect Master Liu, watching the battles on the martial training ground, nodded slightly. Worthy of disciples from the Five Great Immortal Sects, although their cultivation was not high, their methods of combat were commendable, with no faults to pick.
He said to the great patriarch, Little Lu, watch these battles closely; they will be very beneficial to you.
