Chapter 527: with translation of chapter title

~7 min read 1,233 words

After several days of busyness, because the sect gave full support, the construction of the canteen proceeded quickly, and Ye Zhangqing's dong fu was likewise.

Although some details remain unfinished, such as Chen Bing's furniture and Zhāng Tiānzhèn's formation, habitation is already no problem.

Following Bai Hua Xianzi's suggestion, Ye Zhangqing simply moved directly to Zhu Feng.

Having finished with the canteen affairs, Ye Zhangqing hummed a tune, walking with an eight-character step back to his dong fu.

"Clang clang clang........."

""Husband, you're back.""

"Mm, you've always been at Zhu Feng; is Yu Nü Peak alright?"

"It's fine; the people below will handle it."

Gently she took off Ye Zhangqing's outer robe, personally brewed tea, then sat gently beside him and said.

"Husband, I have something to tell you."

"Go ahead; as an old married couple, what can't we say?"

Holding a large tea jar, he took a comfortable sip, even spat out the tea leaves, and Ye Zhangqing said indifferently.

"Today I invited Zhang Shī xiōng and them."

"Oh, what's up?"

"I want them to carve some formations at home and craft some furniture, and also take a bodhi tree from Muyou Shī xiōng; I also took one sapling."

"Huh???"

Hearing this, Ye Zhangqing looked doubtful; making formations makes sense, but why ask Peak Master Chen Bing for furniture? He's a Ninth-Rank Artifact Refiner who deals in divine weapons—why would you have him make furniture?

And as for the bodhi tree, that's practically the lifeblood of Peak Master Muyou—could he give you one?

Faced with Ye Zhangqing's gaze, Bai Hua Xianzi also spoke frankly.

"They all agreed, but the condition is seven meals."

Seven meals—that's seven days; hearing this, Ye Zhangqing didn't mind, nor did he get angry, after all Bai Hua Xianzi was doing it for the family.

However......... his eyes slightly narrowed, Ye Zhangqing said with an ambiguous smile.

"Meals are simple, but lately, husband, I've been busy with the canteen every day, and this body is really somewhat fatigued."

Here it is, still that familiar taste—this dog of a man truly won't cast his hawk unless he sees a rabbit.

But having long been prepared, Bai Hua Xianzi merely gave Ye Zhangqing a flirtatious glance, then spoke resignedly.

"Husband, speak plainly."

"Seven games."

"Too many."

"Six."

"Three."

"Five, the final bottom line."

"Good."

Then that night, inside Ye Zhangqing's dong fu, faintly there came the sound of "dad" calling.

Although Bai Hua Xianzi also didn't know what "dad" meant, after all that was Ye Zhangqing's former address; in Haotu Shijie, everyone calls father "die".

But Bai Hua Xianzi could tell with her toes that it definitely wasn't a nice term.

The next day Ye Zhangqing left refreshed, under Bai Hua Xianzi's resentful gaze; just as he was about to depart, he gave her an ambiguous look and said.

"Madam, do you know what 'dad' means?"

"I don't know."

Bai Hua Xianzi shook her head honestly, and then Ye Zhangqing laughed and said.

"It just means 'for the father'."

"For the husband?"

At first she didn't react, after silently repeating it a few times Bai Hua Xianzi suddenly came to her senses and then gritted her teeth and said.

"Ye Zhangqing, stop right there..........."

However, by then Ye Zhangqing had already slicked his soles and slipped away.

"If you've got the guts, don't come back tonight."

"Oh, then about the meals................"

"I was wrong."

"That's more like it; wait for me, tonight I'll change to something else."

"You................"

She stamped her foot hard, Bai Hua Xianzi turned with a flushed face and ran back to her dong fu, only going to Yu Nü Peak at noon.

The canteen is nearly finished, at most another day or two, and recently the sect has been in an uproar over staffing issues for the canteen.

In Dao Yi Sect there's naturally no shortage of spirit cooks, and not only those spirit cooks but also some elders, stewards, and even inner disciples all want to enter the canteen.

As for the purpose, that goes without saying.

"Sect Master, many disciples and elders have expressed willingness to help in the canteen; look at this............."

In the main hall, the steward beside Qi Xiong spoke helplessly, and at the same time there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes, because he also wanted to enter the canteen.

Once inside the canteen, could one still fear having nothing to eat?

In response, Qi Xiong glanced at him, took in his expectant look, then pursed his lips and said sourly.

"Don't even think about it; I can't get in either."

"Huh? Sect Master, what do you mean?"

"The uncles-master have already stayed in the canteen; what do you say?"

Huh???

Cultivation: Great Saint Old Ancestor helping in the canteen? Upon hearing this, the steward's heart instantly turned to ashes; there really is no chance left.

All the disciples who wanted to enter the canteen, the elders, were grief-stricken, but facing the six of Yu Mo, they had no temper at all.

What can you say? He is the Cultivation: Great Saint Old Ancestor; how dare you still have any complaints?

Thus, the initial staff of the canteen was set: the Canteen Master Ye Zhangqing, then Zhu Wu, and the six of Yu Mo.

The six of Yu Mo don't know Chúyì, but washing vegetables, cutting meat, etc. are no problem.

Moreover, thanks to the Cultivation: Great Saint's cultivation, the speed is surprisingly fast; as for Zhu Wu, he can do some more technical tasks.

As for Ye Zhangqing, he just needs to handle the final stir-frying.

【68】 As for Ye Zhangqing, he just needs to handle the final stir-frying.

"Yè Chánglǎo."

"Peak Master Chen, don't wear out the young man."

That day, Chen Bing came to the canteen on his own initiative and delivered a set of pots and pans he personally crafted to Ye Zhangqing.

When the canteen was first established, Ye Zhangqing set the rule: daily meals for fifty thousand people, and the rule remains unchanged.

For added convenience, Ye Zhangqing specially requested Chen Bing to craft a dedicated set of pots and pans.

Now it has finally been finished.

"Yè Chánglǎo, this set of pots and pans has already reached the top-tier Treasure Weapon level, containing space, similar to a Space Ring, enough to prepare meals for fifty thousand people at once."

"Thank you very much, Peak Master Chen."

"It's nothing, this is what I should do."

"By the way, Peak Master Chen, if you're free, why not wait a moment? I just steamed a basket of buns; have a taste."

"How could I possibly?"

Chen Bing was polite in words, but his body couldn't wait and he sat down; the look in his eyes seemed to say, "I'm ready, Yè Chánglǎo, serve the buns."

Seeing this, Ye Zhangqing didn't refuse, but personally brought a basket of buns for Chen Bing to enjoy.

Unexpectedly, there was such a surprise joy; Chen Bing's eating was sheer delight.

Even after finishing, possibly feeling embarrassed, he proactively inquired about the furniture requirements.

"Yè Chánglǎo, I plan to start making furniture soon; do you have any specific requirements?"

"This.......... To be frank, this matter is mainly decided by Bai Hua; I don't interfere, but it's really troublesome, Peak Master Chen, and Bai Hua is indeed clueless—how could such a small matter have you, Peak Master Chen, personally handle it?"
