Chapter 477: Chapter 56 Red Moon Square 【Seeking Monthly Tickets!】_1

"What should we call it?"

Jiang Yuebai held her cheek in thought in front of the empty and yet-to-be-opened restaurant.

Next to her were Xu Hongqiu and her junior sister Mu Yuetong. The shop is a joint venture between these sisters.

It started with Jiang Yuebai’s original idea, but she didn’t have the time to oversee it. When Xu Hongqiu got wind of it, she volunteered enthusiastically, given that Whale Guild had already opened so many establishments, there was no harm in opening one more, making this venture a partnership.

But Jiang Yuebai’s concept was to open a restaurant.

Fed by a hidden foody at heart.

However, in the Immortal Cultivation World, the catering industry is quite hard to profit from.

Common ingredients won’t make much of a sell, no one would spend Spirit Stone Coins to buy your beef, mutton, and vegetables. The few large-scale restaurants in Taotie City all run gourmet banquets like medicinal meals, Spirit Plant banquets, Spirit Beast banquets, it needs to be upscale to be worth the price.

This involves extremely professional sourcing channels and cooking techniques, which are difficult to prepare in a short period of time.

So the idea was just an embryonic form, how to operate specifically still needed to be discussed. After the sisters had a brief discussion, they decided to ask Chu Liang for advice. He was so smart and might have some good ideas.

Chu Liang came here with Little Chu Yi.

After hearing their thoughts, Chu Liang suggested with a smile, "Since it is a partnership between you and Miss Xu, why not call it ’Red-White Celebration’."

It could be specialty banquet service... He silently added a sentence.

Jiang Yuebai glared at him immediately.

"Humph." Xu Hongqiu’s gaze shifted, and she said: "But we can take a character each, why not call it ’Red Moon Square’."

"That can do..." Jiang Yuebai nodded gently.

"Hehe." Chu Liang laughed: "This name is indeed good, suitable for opening a sophisticated hot pot restaurant."

"Hot pot?" Several people looked at him.

There had never been a special hot pot shop in the Immortal Cultivation World.

Generally speaking, when you find a business that no one is doing, what you should think about is why no one is doing it, not how smart you are to discover that this market is completely empty...

Before that, they discussed this issue because compared to those high-end Spirit Plant and Spirit Beast banquets, the cooking method of hot pot seemed to lack style, and who among the Shu Mountain Sect disciples didn’t know how to make a hot pot?

Why should they come to your place to eat?

Chu Liang said: "The history of Shu Mountain Sect’s hot pot is long-standing, it can be said to represent the Shu Mountain Sect. The disciples of Shu Mountain Sect are good at this skill, and usually, they don’t need to eat here."

"But people from outside Shu Mountain Sect are different, they may not have this hobby and only come to Shu Mountain for fun. If they can taste the classic delicacies of Shu Mountain, wouldn’t that be great?" Chu Liang explained with a smile: "Cuisine is also an important part of culture."

"As for the many difficulties you mentioned..." Chu Liang continued leisurely, "We indeed can innovate the traditional hotpot, making more use of high-end Spirit Plants and Spirit Beasts as ingredients. We can either purchase these in the market or breed them ourselves. We definitely need to put in a lot of effort in for the initial ingredients... However, I happen to know a friend who is an expert in this field."

"What you can eat, what you can’t eat, what is delicious, and what is not, he will know as long as he tastes it, so the choice of initial ingredients will go smoothly."

"Ah, you mean that..." Jiang Yuebai thought, "That disciple from Yunyao Peak!"

"Correct." Chu Liang nodded.

What he was referring to was Henchman B.

Once the hotpot ingredients are miscellaneous, the choice becomes important. This fellow has been a gourmet for a lifetime, so having him to do tasting work now must be extremely welcome to him.

"Having addressed the most crucial issue, the next thing we need to pay attention to in other aspects is the service." Chu Liang said again.

"Service?"

"Correct." He continued: "What we worry the most is that the hotpot doesn’t worth the Spirit Stone Coins. However, good service can add value. If we can train a group of servers to make the guests feel at home, greet with smiles as soon as they enter the door, serve tea attentively, present fruits and candies, provide entertainment, do eyebrow painting, manicures, celebrate birthdays..."

"If we can do all these aspects perfectly, even if the guests eat ordinary ingredients, they won’t mind spending a little more."

While Chu Liang was speaking, the sisters were listening and couldn’t help but feel that their minds had broadened, and his analysis made a lot of sense.

On their side, Little Chu Yi also followed along and nodded his head seriously.

Finding this amusing, Xu Hongqiu jestingly said, "Do you little fellow understand this as well?"

"My little brother is smart." Chu Liang said.

Little Chu Yi sat upright on a stool, solemnly bowing his hands, "Sisters, I am already six years old, no longer a child of three or five. I understand these things."

...

Chu Liang was only offering a possibility. They would have to handle the specific details themselves.

In fact, Chu Liang believed that even without his help, their restaurant could still be successful. After all, they were all intelligent people.

Not to mention, just because of Senior Sister Jiang’s reputation, wouldn’t all the cultivators from all over the world want to come and have a taste?

After touring around the Red Cotton Peak and imparting a bunch of random knowledge to Little Chu Yi, Chu Liang left the child at the Law Protection Hall.

During his absence, the child could learn from Senior Brother Yuan, who had a square face.

Senior Brother Yuan had a vast ocean of knowledge inside his square head. Even a little bit of his wisdom would be enough for the kid to learn for a long period of time. Besides, Senior Brother Yuan was upright, and for a child, learning by example is more important than learning from words.

This was better than staying at Silver Sword Peak and being influenced by its environment.

On the same day, Chu Liang headed to the Mountain of Ten Thousand Poisons in the southwest.

Since it wasn’t too far from Shu Mountain, he arrived quite quickly. From mid-air, he sensed a dark and eerie aura.

This place in the Southern Region was even more dreaded than the Zhennan Region’s Mountain.

If the Zhennan Region’s Mountain was famously perilous and mysterious, filled with uncertain danger, the danger of the Mountain of Ten Thousand Poisons was certain and it was poison.

You could find traces of poisons from all over the Nine States here. Even if you combined all the books from Nine Heavens and Ten Lands and the Yu Dynasty, you couldn’t possibly document all these poisons.

In the deepest part of the Mountain of Ten Thousand Poisons, not even an expert in the Seventh Realm dared to enter, for it was indeed life-threatening.

Many years ago, a coalition of immortal sects placed a seal on the Mountain of Ten Thousand Poisons to prevent the poisonous gases from leaking out. Otherwise, the miasma leaking from the mountain alone could wipe out all humans and animals within a thousand miles.

After that, some immortal sects began to set up camps around the Mountain of Ten Thousand Poisons, clearing out the poison monsters that escaped from the mountain, and occasionally venturing into the mountain to hunt, albeit only around its edges.

Chu Liang’s target, Demon Spider Forest, was located on the outermost western side of the Mountain of Ten Thousand Poisons. The closest sect to it was the Red River Sect.

Before entering the mountain, he prepared extensively, carrying more than a dozen different types of antidotes. This should be enough to deal with the outermost layer of the Mountain of Ten Thousand Poisons.

With the sound of the wind, he landed.

Chu Liang arrived in the eerie forest.

Contrary to what he had thought, not every inch of the Demon Spider Forest was covered with Red Demonic Spiders. They were hidden amongst the dark red trees and leaves, spinning dark red webs that were nearly invisible to the naked eye.

Even using a Divine Sense sweep, it was difficult to detect any abnormalities.

They didn’t just hunt insects, they hunted birds and beasts too. Anything that touched the web of a Red Demonic Spider would immediately be knocked unconscious. Subsequently, it would be wrapped into a large cocoon, gradually corroded, with not even a skeleton being left behind.

So, although the Red Demonic Spiders did not individually possess high cultivation, together they often posed a serious threat to powerful demon beasts.

Facing such a cruel and cunning poisonous creature, Chu Liang’s hunting method was also quite cautious.

He first used the Immortal Method of making an army out of peas to call forth a puppet, making it slowly walk through the forest. It hadn’t gone far before two hissing sounds were heard.

The puppet’s hands and feet had each touched a strand of spider silk.

Even though it was a puppet, its skin started turning black.

After a moment, two Red Demonic Spiders dashed out from two different directions. They faced each other briefly, and then the smaller one turned around and left. Only after that did the larger one crawl over, preparing to spin its prey into a cocoon.

At that moment, Chu Liang took action.

His Sword Qi claimed both Red Demonic Spiders.

Considering the spooky environment here, he didn’t dare let his Dustless Sword touch any poisonous substances in fear that it might poison him.

Using this method, he managed to harvest seven or eight Red Demonic Spiders on the spot. He assumed this amount would probably not be enough for a single strength increase for Wen Yulong, so he slowly moved to another location.

Just then, he faintly heard a cry for help coming from deep within the forest.

"Help..."

"Help..."
