Chapter 90: Uniform Temptation

A successful, prestigious, and admirable gang leader must lead in everything.

When clearing wasteland and hunting beasts, one must kill at the very front of the team.

When fighting and slaying enemies, one must also charge first.

When acting as a shill, naturally, one must go first as well.

Facing Facing Cang Luo looked at the few people around him and said with a solemn expression: "Senior Brother Wang, Senior Brother Zhao, Senior Brother Zang, and all the brothers, the War Wolf Barbecue concerns the future development of the War Wolf Gang.

Moreover, today is the first day of opening, which is crucial. We must make the business of War Wolf Barbecue hot and ensure that War Wolf Barbecue is completely full."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Wang Fuhai said somewhat awkwardly: "Gang Leader, acting as... a shill, I have never done such a thing, I don't know how!"

Wang Fuhai indeed had never been a shill; his family operated businesses in silk and clothing in Danyang Commandery. The uniforms for Yin Mengruo, Xiang Xiang Yunjiao, the barbecue chefs, and the waitresses were made by his family's tailors, though they were designed by Facing Facing Cang Luo.

Yet he had grown up without ever selling a single piece of clothing and knew nothing of the ways of marketing.

Zang Feng was also somewhat unnatural at this moment. Although he usually pretended to be very mature, he had truly never experienced such "deceptive" matters, after all, he was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old youth.

Zhao Renwu chuckled from the side: "What is so difficult about this? Whatever the Gang Leader does, we just need to follow his example."

Having spoken, he glanced around discreetly, feeling quite strange in his heart: so many days had passed, why hadn't Zhang Zhen and the Fierce Heaven Gang come to cause trouble?

Facing Facing Cang Luo nodded and said: "Senior Brother Zhao speaks correctly. I will go first; you all watch carefully, learn it, and then come up quickly, acting naturally."

Having spoken, Facing Facing Cang Luo deliberately took a detour, pretending to be nonchalant as he strolled along the street.

This street is named Tianmen Street, the most bustling street in Xuantian Town.

To the east, it leads directly to the Outer Gate of the Profound Heaven Sect, the essential path for disciples of the Profound Heaven Sect entering and leaving the sect.

To the west lies the direction of Danyang Commandery.

To the north is the direction of the Beast Mountain Forest; martial artists of all kinds come and go without cease, and all who go to the Beast Mountain Forest for training must pass through Tianmen Street.

To the south is the location of the Spirit Stone Mine belonging to the Profound Heaven Sect, where the flow of people is also extremely high.

By all rights, with such a large flow of people, all of whom are martial artists and business elites, opening a shop here should result in very good business.

But the reality is that, up to now, not a single person has entered War Wolf Barbecue to spend money; although passersby all stop to watch, curious about what this newly opened shop sells, they shake their heads and leave once they see it sells food.

Facing Facing Cang Luo observed from a distance, feeling quite strange, but soon discovered the problem.

He discovered that none of the shops on both sides of Tianmen Street were related to food and drink; they were all weapon shops, pill shops, and the like.

Facing Facing Cang Luo slapped his forehead and understood.

The Yuanwu Continent reveres martial arts above all; only matters related to martial arts and cultivation are what people care about. Things like food and entertainment are secondary, at least they would not be opened on this street.

The taverns and restaurants of Xuantian Town are all located on the west side near Danyang Commandery. The flow of people on Tianmen Street consists almost entirely of martial artists; when they pass through Tianmen Street, they are either going to the Beast Mountain Forest or returning to the Profound Heaven Sect.

What they need are weapons for slaying enemies and pills for healing injuries; who would eat a meal or stay overnight here?

Facing Facing Cang Luo thought to himself, "This is bad; why didn't I notice this problem back then?" But then he thought again, perhaps this is an opportunity. Just because no one does food and drink doesn't mean it can't succeed; the key lies in marketing.

With this thought, Facing Facing Cang Luo quickly walked toward War Wolf Barbecue, glanced at the "War Wolf Barbecue" sign above his head composed of artistic characters, nodded heavily, and then looked at Yin Mengruo and Xiang Xiang Yunjiao standing at the door, their expressions showing slight embarrassment.

Facing Facing Cang Luo frowned slightly and said in a low voice: "Take off your aprons. The uniforms I designed are not for you to hide away; they are for people to see."

Having spoken, Facing Facing Cang Luo looked at the five female waitresses again and said once more: "And you all, take off your aprons as well."

Upon hearing this, the seven young girls reluctantly and slowly took off their aprons. Once they were off, Facing Facing Cang Luo's eyes immediately lit up.

The uniforms he designed were of Earth's style. Yin Mengruo and Xiang Xiang Yunjiao were wearing deep purple flight attendant uniforms; the form-fitting, hip-hugging flight attendant uniforms highlighted the figures of the two women to the fullest, and the two women were too shy to look at Facing Facing Cang Luo.

The uniforms of the five female waitresses were the common black-and-white maid uniforms. The five were also good-looking, and dressed as maids at this moment, they added a few points of allure.

Looking at them, Facing Facing Cang Luo couldn't help but swallow his saliva; uniform temptation indeed!

No wonder no one entered the shop to spend money; it turns out it was because of you...

Suddenly, Facing Facing Cang Luo wondered if he could promote Earth-style uniforms? Wang Fuhai's family sells clothes, which is just right; he should find an opportunity to discuss it with him.

Facing Facing Cang Luo nodded to himself, then suddenly exclaimed loudly: "Wow! Beautiful women!"

Upon hearing this, passersby all turned their heads to look at Facing Facing Cang Luo, and then followed his gaze to see Yin Mengruo and Xiang Xiang Yunjiao, along with the five maids.

Upon seeing this, everyone's eyes immediately lit up; they unconsciously stopped their steps, looked the women up and down, and wore expressions that all men understand.

The clothes they wore were simply too eye-catching, and they were unprecedented: youthful, alluring, charming...

The women felt very uncomfortable being looked at by everyone and all lowered their heads.

Facing Facing Cang Luo coughed lightly, stepped forward a few paces to the cashier counter, and said loudly: "War Wolf Barbecue? Give me two skewers of bone-and-flesh connected, using the meat of a first-order beast, the Spear Pig."

Having spoken, Facing Facing Cang Luo said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid; be bold. This is the territory of the Profound Heaven Sect; at most they will just look, they won't do anything. Looking won't make anyone lose a few chunks of flesh."

Upon hearing this, the two women were still somewhat afraid, but Yin Mengruo was relatively calm. She smiled and said: "Two skewers of Spear Pig bone-and-flesh connected. Please take a seat inside; it will be ready very soon."

Facing Facing Cang Luo nodded, entered the shop and sat down, then immediately signaled to the War Wolf Gang members not far away, indicating that they should hurry and follow.

At the same time, the bone-and-flesh connected skewers he ordered began to be grilled. The fire was fierce; as seasonings such as salt and pepper were sprinkled down, the mouth-watering charcoal-grilled aroma gradually spread.

The passersby lingering in front of the shop, still watching Yin Mengruo and the others, couldn't help but sniff, and all turned their gazes to the bone-and-flesh connected skewers still being grilled.

Someone smacked his lips and said: "So fragrant! Seems very delicious."

The person beside him nodded and said: "Hmm, it is Spear Pig meat. Although I'm not hungry, shall we eat a little?"

Just as they were still hesitating whether to enter the shop, several shills from the War Wolf Gang appeared. Zhao Renwu produced a folding fan from somewhere, looking dashing and elegant.

He looked at Yin Mengruo affectionately and said: "I want... two skewers of bone-and-flesh connected, one grilled oyster, one grilled eggplant, and a jar of fine wine."

Yin Mengruo smiled and nodded, letting Zhao Renwu go inside and sit down.

The others also followed his example, ordered many things, and all took their seats. The War Wolf Barbecue shop, which was originally empty, was now seventy percent full and very lively.

The passersby who had just hesitated at the shop entrance about whether to come in also entered the shop and ordered some things; however, their hearts were not set on the barbecue. Several pairs of eyeballs were secretly staring at the waitresses wearing maid uniforms...

Not long after, the bone-and-flesh connected skewers that Facing Facing Cang Luo ordered first were grilled. The waitress wearing the maid uniform respectfully served them in front of Facing Facing Cang Luo and even bowed.

Facing Facing Cang Luo nodded, casually handed over a piece of low-grade Spirit Stone, and smiled: "A reward for you."

The maid hurriedly expressed her gratitude.

Zhao Renwu and the others were stunned; should they give a reward? They didn't bring any money; what should they do?

Everyone unconsciously looked at Wang Fuhai; he was the Deputy Gang Leader in charge of internal affairs and managed the money, so he should have brought some.

Wang Fuhai nodded awkwardly; he did indeed have them on him, but, we are shills, will the tip be returned later?

Just as Wang Fuhai was still aching over the tip, someone at a nearby table of genuine customers suddenly laughed loudly: "Miss, this is a tip from the master."

Speaking thus, five low-grade Spirit Stones were tossed out, landing accurately in the hands of the five maids.

Then, two more low-grade Spirit Stones were tossed out, landing in the hands of Yin Mengruo and Xiang Xiang Yunjiao.

The customer spoke generously once more: "Your new shop has opened, so we are here to support you; as long as your service is attentive and the food is delicious, we will return."

The women were instantly stunned, forgetting even to give thanks; the Guild Master's tip should be returned, but... but... surely tips from these customers need not be?

At this moment, Facing Facing Cang Luo, having eaten a few bites of bone-and-flesh connected skewers, exclaimed: "Holy crap! So delicious, the meat is crunchy and very fresh, most crucially, the Spirit Power contained within has almost not been lost.

It is truly too delicious; this is what martial artists eat; what the hell did I eat before?

Dried meat? Sesame cakes?

I risked life and death in the Beast Mountain Forest, only to eat these nutritionless things?"

Following Facing Facing Cang Luo's "Holy crap," the items ordered by the crowd were grilled one after another; instantly, the scents of roasted meat, garlic, and wine spread everywhere...

The crowd involuntarily drooled, instantly feeling that Facing Facing Cang Luo made a lot of sense; the master is a martial artist, not knowing when he might die, so one should eat well while still alive.

In the next moment, including the shills of the War Wolf Gang, everyone began to eat meat in huge mouthfuls and drink wine in huge mouthfuls, eating until oil dripped from their mouths and their lips turned red.

"Delicious! Refreshing!"

A customer, looking utterly satisfied, said: "This garlic-roasted eggplant is truly delicious; bring five more, and two more jars of wine."

"I want some too..."

Facing Facing Cang Luo, egging them on from the side, said: "Beauty, pack ten grilled oysters; grilled oysters can boost yang energy; the master is going to play at the Yichun Courtyard later..."

As soon as Facing Facing Cang Luo finished speaking, a nearby customer exclaimed in surprise: "Grilled oysters can boost yang energy?"

Speaking thus, he immediately said: "Miss, bring me one hundred; tonight, the master will conquer the Yihong Courtyard!"

Facing Facing Cang Luo immediately gave a thumbs-up in admiration: "Brother is mighty! Sleeping with ten women in a night is no problem!"

"Hahaha, naturally!" That person smiled proudly, adding: "Brother, you are not bad either; your grilled oysters, I, your brother, will treat!"

Facing Facing Cang Luo was stunned, quickly rising to bow with clasped hands.

That person shook his head indifferently, continuing to drink wine and eat skewers.

These middle-aged martial artists had cultivation levels neither high nor low, mostly at the Martial Master and Martial Spirit stages; they had nothing else, just plenty of spare money, but they spent it fast, earning as much as they spent.

When out of money, they would enter the Beast Mountain Forest; if they could survive and come out, they would continue to live freely.

If they couldn't come out, they could still live freely; their brothers would burn paper money for them...

Everyone ate and drank, enjoying themselves immensely; Facing Facing Cang Luo took the opportunity to signal the War Wolf Gang members with his eyes, telling them to take the skewers out to promote the place, while also vacating seats.

Before long, the shills in the shop became fewer and fewer, while genuine customers became more and more.

This was due partly to the fact that the barbecue was indeed delicious, and partly to the uniform temptation of Yin Mengruo, Xiang Xiang Yunjiao, and the maids.

Facing Facing Cang Luo originally thought someone would cause trouble, such as harassing the maids, but actually nothing happened.

After all, this is territory under the Profound Heaven Gate; the Profound Heaven Gate holds partial tax rights over Profound Tianzhen, with disciples from the Law Enforcement Pavilion patrolling nearby, so generally no one would seek trouble.

Business should get better and better; Facing Facing Cang Luo breathed a sigh of relief; it was time to leave, to go to the Beast Mountain Forest to subdue the second beast!

Thus, Facing Facing Cang Luo rose and left, not forgetting to take away the ten packed grilled oysters.

Xiang Xiang Yunjiao suddenly said: "Senior Brother Luo, you... are you really going to the Yichun Courtyard?"

Facing Facing Cang Luo said awkwardly: "Just joking..."
