Youth must be formed early, how can it be youthful? Chapter 69: Lack of animal meat
"Okay, fellow Taoist, walk slowly." Lao Luo took the twenty taels of gold and said goodbye as usual.
Then he looked at the next fellow Taoist in line.
"Huh?" But when he saw this person, Lao Luo was slightly surprised, and then smiled and said: "Why are you here again..."
This man was dressed in coarse linen clothes, with a hat on his head and a white cloth hanging on his shoulders. He looked like a waiter and had no spiritual power. He was obviously a mortal.
"Oh, Master Luo, you know, I came here just to ask about the [Red Golden Bear] animal meat, has it been returned today?" the visitor asked with anticipation.
Lao Luo wiped his hands with a cloth and said with a smile: "No, I told you yesterday. If there is any, I will immediately ask someone to notify your shopkeeper."
After hearing this, the visitor's face immediately became depressed, and he said distressedly: "Oh, Master Luo Xian must hurry up. My shopkeeper has been urging me today."
"Okay, okay, I understand, don't block the immortal master behind you!" Lao Luo waved his hand and asked him to leave.
He left quickly like a waiter.
Lao Luo continued to entertain the monks behind him.
...
"Hoo~"
Bai Qingzhou slowly pressed down the palms of his hands, exhaled a breath from his mouth, and ended this afternoon's practice.
I looked up at the sky, made an appointment, then stood up, walked to the yard and washed my face with water.
After he regained his energy, he walked out the door.
Bai Qingzhou walked to the inner hall, looked at Lao Luo who was busy at the desk, and asked softly: "Lao Luo, have you done everything?"
"Okay, boss, this is the last guest..." Lao Luo simply replied, then raised his knife and kept cutting, passing the animal meat to the monk opposite.
In the evening, the butcher shop was about to close.
After many days of observation, Bai Qingzhou found that there were the fewest customers in the evening and evening, so he made a decision that the animal butcher shop would only be open until evening every day, and then close for rest.
After a period of time, the monk learned that the butcher shop closed in the evening, so most people came to buy it in the morning and noon, and there were no more customers at night.
After seeing off the last guest of the day, Bai Qingzhou and Lao Luo began to sort out the animal meat on the table and put it all into the freezer. After putting it away, they washed their hands and went out together.
The two of them go to dinner together at this time every day.
After the cooking task was handed over to Xiao Yin, although she would still go to the store to help every day, she would go back to cook in advance when she was not very busy.
"My boss, today the waiter from Yuelailou came over again to inquire..." Lao Luo said easily while walking on the road.
Bai Qingzhou thought for a moment and said, "Yelai Restaurant...is that the restaurant where you want the [Red Golden Bear]?"
After nearly half a year of development, the business of the animal butcher shop is getting better and better. Not only various stall owners in the small streets come to purchase animal meat, but also various restaurants in the market come to order animal meat from time to time.
"Yes, their signature dish is mainly made from the meat of the [Red Golden Bear]. Now the monk in his family who specializes in hunting monsters has gone into seclusion, and they have no stock of animal meat. These days, every day
Send someone to the store to ask if there is any [Red Golden Bear] meat."
"Well, retreat..." Bai Qingzhou murmured.
The restaurants in the market are all owned by some sects, and the restaurants usually have a dedicated monk who is responsible for hunting monster meat for the restaurant's business. If the full-time monk does not have time, the restaurant will usually go to other places.
Purchase locally.
At this moment, Yuelailou encountered this problem.
"Then we have no inventory?" Bai Qingzhou asked gently.
"No more." Lao Luo shook his head.
"How long has it been since the casual cultivator who hunted the [Red Gold Beast] came to deliver goods?"
"The last time he came was on the second of this month. He hasn't come for more than half a month now. He may have..."
Lao Luo hesitated to speak. The popularity of the animal butcher shop naturally attracted many casual cultivators to come to deliver goods, including those who specialized in hunting [red gold beasts]. However, this cultivator did not come over for more than half a month.
Delivered.
Generally, if it exceeds this time, there may have been an accident...
Hearing this answer, Bai Qingzhou couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
[Red Gold Beast] is a first-level monster with medium strength. It is mainly distributed in the southern part of the monster forest. It is a very rough monster.
In the city, because the [red gold beast] is quite dangerous, there are not many monks who specialize in this beast.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Qingzhou said calmly: "The [Red Gold Beast] can be dealt with in the middle stage of Qi refining."
Hearing this, Lao Luo was startled and asked hurriedly: "My boss, you don't want to hunt monster beasts by yourself, do you?"
"What? What's so difficult about this?" Bai Qingzhou chuckled.
"The monster is so ferocious. My boss is so proud that there is no need to take risks myself!"
"It doesn't matter. I have encountered monsters and killed them before. Monsters are not as scary as you think."
Lao Luo said worriedly: "But you are not afraid of ten thousand, just afraid of the unexpected. There is no need for my boss to earn this small amount of spiritual stones..."
"Hey, how can there be too many spirit stones? The more the merrier, I will treat this as extra money!" Bai Qingzhou smiled and said indifferently.
This matter is exactly what he wants. He has rarely fought in a long time since he came out. Although the business of the animal butcher shop is very good, it is not Bai Qingzhou's private property. This time he has this opportunity to earn some spiritual stones.
He became eager to try.
"Don't do this!" Lao Luo hurriedly tried to dissuade him, saying: "For a few spiritual stones, there is no need to take risks! The business in our store is so good, you can get this small profit in a few days."
"Don't worry, Lao Luo, I still have some confidence in my own strength! I don't take the [Red Golden Bear] lightly yet!" Bai Qingzhou was full of confidence.
It has been two months since he entered the sixth level of Qi Refining, and he has become more flexible in controlling his body. What's more, other casual cultivators on the sixth level of Qi Refining can hunt down the [Red Gold Bear], and he doesn't believe that he can't do it.
"But it's still not safe..."
Lao Luo tried his best to dissuade him, but Bai Qingzhou declined with a smile, and the two of them walked all the way to the small courtyard.
...
In the end, Lao Luo still failed to convince Bai Qingzhou.
Early the next morning, after instructing the two of them to take a good look at the store, Bai Qingzhou left the market, activated his magic weapon, and soared into the sky toward the west.
After nearly half a year of contact with various types of casual cultivators, Bai Qingzhou has become extremely familiar with monsters, and he even learned their specific locations while chatting with the casual cultivators.
Generally speaking, most monsters exist in a huge primitive forest, because the forest contains abundant spiritual energy, and many animals have mutated and become monsters because they have been absorbing spiritual energy all year round.
And that primitive forest is also called the "Monster Forest" by many casual cultivators.
The specific location is nearly a thousand miles to the west of Luogufang. It is also the place where Bai Qingzhou first encountered the Black Ape Shuangsha. It is on the outskirts of the Monster Forest. Most casual cultivators in Luogufang now go there.
Go to the monster forest to hunt monsters.
Bai Qingzhou controlled the spirit paper and flew all the way, and met many returning monks on the way. Because he often sold meat in the butcher shop, most people knew Bai Qingzhou, and many monks said hello to Bai Qingzhou.
After being in contact with casual cultivators for a long time, Bai Qingzhou's character has become much more generous. He is no longer timid, and there is still a sense of martial arts in his movements. When he sees the cultivators he knows, he returns the favor boldly.
Flying all the way, feeling the breeze blowing on his face, looking at the [Flying Cloud Spiritual Paper] under his feet, and feeling the slow speed, Bai Qingzhou made a decision in his heart...
"It seems it's time to change to a flying magic weapon."
[Feiyun Lingzhi] has been accompanying him for several years, but as his cultivation level has improved, he is now slowly unable to keep up, and his flying speed cannot match his full running speed.
While complaining about the speed of the flying magic weapon, he flew slowly. After flying for two hours, Bai Qingzhou finally arrived at the edge of the forest.
As soon as he arrived, he saw another casual cultivator whom he was quite familiar with.
"Eh? Why is shopkeeper Bai so free and come to the Monster Forest?" The casual cultivator saw Bai Qingzhou and said hello first.
"Uh... Fellow Daoist Zhu..."
Bai Qingzhou recognized him. His name was Zhu Lian. He was a monk specializing in the [Red Chicken Beast] business. He was one of the three monks that Lao Luo introduced him to from the beginning.
At this time, he was covered in blood, his face was pale, as if he had been seriously injured, and his face still looked depressed.
"Zhu Daoyou, are you okay? Why are you in such a mess?" Bai Qingzhou asked in surprise.
After all, his cultivation level is at the peak of the sixth level of Qi refining. Generally speaking, if he goes to hunt the [Red Chicken Beast], he can escape completely.
Zhu Lian heard a sigh and said: "Oh, don't talk about it. I was resting on a tree in the middle of the night last night, and a second-level monster with a big white snake suddenly appeared. It scared me. Fortunately, I ran fast.
Otherwise, I will die and disappear there..."
"Ah?" Bai Qingzhou was surprised, "Don't fellow Taoists only hunt [red chicken beasts] in the periphery? How can we still encounter second-level monsters?"
As far as he knew, in the monster forest, the second-level monsters existed deep in the forest and would not appear on the periphery. However, Zhu Lian only hunted the [Red Rooster Beast] on the periphery. Logically speaking, he would not encounter the second-order monsters.
Of the monster beast.
"Yes! I don't know why, but a second-level monster actually ran out. Hey, I can only blame my bad luck. I didn't hunt the meat this time and was injured..." Zhu Lian said bitterly.
"It's a pity..." Bai Qingzhou agreed.
Zhu Lian took a look at Bai Qingzhou's dress and asked: "What's wrong, Shopkeeper Bai, did you come here today to enter the monster forest?"
Bai Qingzhou smiled softly and said: "That's right! I want to hunt a [Red Golden Bear] when I go in this time!"
"Shopkeeper Bai is so rich, why do you want to work hard?" Zhu Lian asked in confusion.
"Hey! No one has too many spiritual stones, right?" Bai Qingzhou smiled softly.
Zhu Lian gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Bai is really diligent!"
"Haha, by the way, Fellow Daoist Zhu, I see that you are seriously injured. Do you want to take a pill? I have a pill here..."
"No need, the province must save it. I can just go back to Fangshi and rest for a few days for this minor injury." Zhu Lian waved his hand.
"That's okay."
"Then I'll leave first! Wish Shopkeeper Bai good luck!" After saying that, Zhu Lian controlled the flying magic weapon and flew into the air.
"Goodbye!" Bai Qingzhou waved his hand.
After Zhu Lian left, Bai Qingzhou took out the [storage bag] and began to carefully check the supplies he had brought, including various elixirs, spells, weapons, etc.
After a quarter of an hour of careful inspection, he put away the spiritual paper and officially entered the beast forest.
