Chapter 54: Naming the Shop

~8 min read 1,452 words

After knowing the target location, Lu Yang met with the other two and analyzed:

"Judging from Qin Yuanhao's walking posture and breathing frequency, he should be at the late Foundation Establishment stage."

"The place where he lives is an ordinary courtyard. The courtyard is not big, and it doesn't look like there are servants. He lives alone."

"We will live nearby and observe him for a while. One is to observe his habits so that we won't be ignorant when asked by others after joining the demonic sect later. Second is to follow him to see if we can find the Yanjiang Branch stronghold."

The barbarian didn't understand: "Qin Yuanhao has so many younger brothers, why don't we follow these people to find the location of the Yanjiang Branch?"

Meng Jingzhou rejected this method. He knew more about the demonic sect: "Those people have no cultivation. It's true they are Qin Yuanhao's younger brothers, but they are not demonic sect members. The demonic sect is not as easy to join as you think. It's questionable whether these people even know Qin Yuanhao is a member of the demonic sect."

"But where should we hide to observe him? There are no inns nearby, only a few teahouses and taverns. We can drink tea in the teahouse during the day, but what should we do at night?"

The demonic sect likes to act at night the most.

Lu Yang was also a bit troubled. Suddenly, he saw a teahouse with a rental sign out of the corner of his eye, and his eyes lit up.

"This teahouse is in just the right position. The second floor can be used to observe Qin Yuanhao. We can rent this teahouse and observe Qin Yuanhao's movements under the guise of opening a shop!"

Meng Jingzhou nodded and then asked: "What kind of shop should we open?"

"Although opening a shop is a disguise, it must be disguised realistically. I'm not good at making tea, so I definitely can't continue to open a teahouse. I have elders in my family who are good at language spells, and I have followed them for a period of time to learn crosstalk."

Meng Jingzhou had a professional spirit: "I suggest opening a crosstalk hall, and I will perform crosstalk."

Lu Yang admired the multi-talented Meng Jingzhou: "However, crosstalk is lively during the day, but there are no people at night. The best way is to find a job that opens at night. It's an entertainment venue, and it needs to be lively, drinking and having fun, letting everyone play happily. This way we can observe Qin Yuanhao on the second floor, and Qin Yuanhao won't notice us."

Meng Jingzhou blushed when he heard this, a bit hesitant, but more excited: "A job that opens at night, could it be that you want to open..."

Lu Yang nodded: "Yes, I'm talking about a barbecue shop."

Meng Jingzhou: "... Yes, that's what I thought too."

Lu Yang thought it was a good idea. Barbecue is simple and easy to learn. Even if you are inexperienced, you should learn it after burning and scorching it more than ten times.

"I can handle the barbecue." Seeing Man Gu smiled very confidently. To prove his strength, he even took out a piece of paper from his arms, on which was written "Ancestral Barbecue Secret Recipe".

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were very familiar with this secret recipe. Isn't this the ancestral barbecue secret recipe that requires 100 contribution points to redeem on the exchange list!

Seeing Man Gu smiled honestly: "When I was in my hometown, I often roasted wild beasts myself, black bears, wild boars, little rabbits, etc. I saw that the Congwendao Sect bought a lot of food, but there were not many barbecue shops, so I hung up the ancestral barbecue secret recipe."

At that time, Lu Yang was wondering who would hang the barbecue secret recipe on the exchange list for no reason. It turned out that you put it on the list!

"Did anyone buy it?" Meng Jingzhou was curious.

Seeing Man Gu said honestly: "A senior brother told me that after he bought the barbecue secret recipe, he went out on a mission with a senior sister. This senior brother used barbecue to capture the senior sister's heart."

Meng Jingzhou: "..."

I shouldn't have asked.

Seeing Man Gu showed a smile and said: "And there is another advantage to opening a barbecue shop."

"What is it?"

Seeing Man Gu summoned two chang-ghosts: "I don't need to do it myself. Let these two chang-ghosts barbecue in the back kitchen, and I don't need to pay wages. It's very convenient."

In this way, even the waiter doesn't need to be hired, saving money and keeping secrets. It's really a thoughtful consideration.

Seeing Man Gu had learned a lot after following Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou for so long.

Lu Yang firmly refused to admit that Seeing Man Gu learned it from him.

Seeing Man Gu studied the secret recipe overnight. Seeing Man Gu's hometown is in the wilderness, and many materials in the original barbecue recipe are unique to the wilderness. Seeing Man Gu needed to study what things could be replaced.

"By the way, do you eat roasted insects and roasted cow eyes?" Seeing Man Gu suddenly asked.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou shook their heads in unison, dissuading Seeing Man Gu from roasting things that ordinary people could accept.

Seeing Man Gu said "oh", thought simply, first he is a normal person, second he can accept these things, so what he can accept, normal people can accept.

Argument completed.

Seeing Man Gu kept a series of barbecue materials with regional characteristics such as roasted insects and roasted cow eyes on the menu, hoping that the people of Yanjiang County would like them.

Early the next morning, Meng Jingzhou showed his financial resources beyond ordinary people and bought the whole teahouse.

"Wait, didn't we agree to rent it?" Meng Jingzhou acted too fast, Lu Yang hadn't reacted yet, and the teahouse was already under the names of the three.

Lu Yang looked at Meng Jingzhou in surprise. We are doing the mission for a few months. Do you want to open it for a lifetime?

Meng Jingzhou had his reasons: "I have always used my own things. If I can buy it, I will never rent it! At worst, I will sell it after finishing the mission."

The original teahouse owner saw Meng Jingzhou give money quickly, so he packed up his things and left.

After the owner left, a very serious problem was placed in front of the three—what should the barbecue shop be called?

"I suggest calling it Meng Xiaoer Barbecue Shop," Meng Jingzhou said.

Lu Yang glanced at Meng Jingzhou and said disdainfully: "Your name is too vulgar. I suggest calling it Three Bowls No Crossing Ridge Barbecue Shop. Eat skewers and drink wine, then go up the mountain to fight tigers. It's very suitable."

Meng Jingzhou and the barbarian shook their heads in unison, not feeling it was suitable.

Seeing Man Gu rarely put forward a different point of view: "Three Bowls No Crossing Ridge is too long. It's better to use our tribe's style, call it Hahaha Barbecue Shop, or Heeheehee Barbecue Shop."

Lu Yang had heard of the naming method of the wilderness barbarian race. This naming method is quite advanced in the Sect of Following the Way with advanced thinking: Hehehe Weapon Shop, Houhouhou Tavern, Aoaoao Brothel...

"How about calling it Tribulation Transcendence Stage Barbecue Shop?"

"Better call it Become Immortal Barbecue Shop."

"I think Qingzhou Barbecue Shop is okay."

"Whose family gives a barbecue shop such an elegant name?"

The three discussed for a while, and finally had to helplessly admit a fact: none of them knew how to name it.

"Forget it, the three of us write a name on a paper ball, and whoever it shakes to is it." Lu Yang proposed a solution, which was agreed by the two.

Considering that Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou's minds were not very pure, it was safest to let Seeing Man Gu shake the paper balls.

Seeing Man Gu closed his hands, covered the three small paper balls, shook them up and down, opened his thumb, and two of the small paper balls flew out.

He opened it and saw that one note was written "Come Again".

Seeing Man Gu opened the other note with confusion, and it was written "Thank You for Your Patronage".

Seeing Man Gu: "???"

Seeing Man Gu couldn't turn his head for a while. He should be naming the shop, not drawing a lottery... right? ===== CHAPTER 55 =====
