Chapter 43, Restaurants Opening (4)

Seeing that Master Yan has taken the first step, the others didn't want to be outdo and also show their intention. Besides, the food they just ate can be called anything but ordinary. 

"The manual is on the wall, all the dishes written there are available. Please order as you like." Li Jain said and pointed at the menu hung there.

When the others look over, they saw a blank paper instructing them to import their spiritual energy. Once they did, the shock could Ge seen on their faces. The menu was writing in detail. From main dishes, to side dishes, to sneaks. The function and the price of the dishes were all listed. The list even included the ingredients and the names of the people cooking them.

This is not only good, it's incredible! If I eat this every time, my spirit will evolve from ordinary spiritual power to great level! They thought excitedly and started reading. Their eyes got bigger and bigger with every page they read. When they reached the last section of the manual, they couldn't help but exclaim "wow!"

There are a total of nine levels. From low spiritual power to high spiritual power, from normal spiritual power to god level spiritual power, from medium spiritual power to king level spiritual power, then higher level to great level. The more spiritual energy or higher quality the dish is, the more expensive it is.  

"What is that dragon fish dish?" Asked master Yan  curiously. It seemed like he was interested in    the dishes. Dragon fish are extremely rare and very expensive, so it is understandable why master Yan would ask that question. He must've been shocked by the fact that the dishes listed there are available here. Even if he was a cultivator, this is beyond his capabilities. So, for him, this is a dream come true. If there's a dragon fish here, then it's horn should be also. That's why he asked about it.

"It's a two horns dragon fish, raised in fresh water for two hundred years."  Li Jain explained. The years fish that are capable of containing spiritual energy live for, the more balanced and  pure the spiritual energy they contain. They're also quite delicate and quick to die, therefore, for a fish to live for over a hundred years,  it requires an extraordinary amount of effort to preserve it.  

"This is really a two horns dragon fish? Then, can I buy the horns?" Master Yan asks again with hopeful eyes.

Li Jain looks at him, hesitates, then says slowly "After you buy the dish, we can discuss the horns price"

Master Yan nodded enthusiastically and said "Give me two orders of the dragon fish dish, and four horns." He took a deep breath, calmed himself, then looked at the others. The horns of Dragon fish can be used for both weapon refinement and  medicine. With such powerful medicinal effects,   its market value would definitely skyrocket.  

While Li Jain served master Yan, the other old men were also searching the menu for some valuable dish. Old man Ling looked for a long time and his eyes suddenly caught a dish. He frowned and said "this dish can be eaten raw, but after boiling it, the dish becomes delicious. The meat has a very strong aroma. This dish can help increase your cultivation base. It's a bit pricey but worth it, right?" He gave it another look and then continued looking for more recipes. "No way! I want pure lotus soup." Old man Ling order.

Li Jain looked at the ingredients list and  shook her head disappointedly. " This lotus soup is not suitable to be eaten here. You can order a takeout."

Old man Ling understood. The function of pure lotus soup is to clean impurities in one's  body.   The pure lotus soup served here is full of toxins that make the person  unable to absorb any external factors. It's better to eat it at home where you'll be able to take a bath.

"Then give me two orders."

Li Jain was thankful for his interspatial space at this moment. His space was capable of keeping hot food hot, and cold food cold. Li Jain prepared a lot of dishes earlier on and kept them all in his space. Not only would these dishes not go bad, the spiritual energy in the space will increase its effect.

After the four masters order, Li Jain went into the kitchen, took the food out of the space and served them. 

Old man Lan: "Your food is really good, just that they're expensive."

Boss Wu: "Their benefits are not small, I say it's worth it." 

Li Jain: "The right customer will come when they see their goods. Besides, I just need the spirit stones."

...

"Two orders of the dragon fish dish are fifty high grade spirit stones. I'll give you a discount for the horns. Each horn is cause10 high grade spirit stones. You can pay twenty five spirit stones for all four, and your total will be seventy-five high grade spirit stones."  Li Jain handed the two orders to Master Yan and gave them his best customer service smile. His face is pretty good, and the color of his skin is clear too. 

 Master Yan nodded his head: "That's fine, thanks." Master Yan takes the two orders and gives Li Jain some money. Li Jain accepted the money and smiled again.  

"The pure lotus soup is twenty high grade spirit stones and the total will be forty high grade spirit stones."

Once everyone was done eating and paying, Li Jain earned over two hundreds high grade spirit stones. He also gives out free VIP cards.  With the VIP cards he gives out, they'll receive a discount anytime they order from his restaurant.

When everyone left, it was already late at night. The children had all gone to sleep and didn't disturb Li Jain, knowing that he'd been busy all day. Li Jain lay on the sofa in the living room to relax. Suddenly, he heard someone knock on the door. Li Jain didn't get up and only said "Come in" lazily.

Soon, five unfamiliar faces appear in front of him. Li Jain was not surprised, from their aura and connection, he could tell they were the ghosts he summoned. He looked at their faces calmly. Their beauty could easily turn heads without much effort.   Most of them have an elegant air about them while the rest are handsome. 

Li Jain looked at Liu Xiong, who was wearing black silk robe, he'd a gentle appearance but the sharp eyes told that he was a ruthless man who didn't care about human life. This appearance, aura and temperament all look familiar to Li Jain but he couldn't tell where he'd met this person. Since he can't recall at the moment, Li Jain decided to ignore the feeling. 

He looked at them with a warm expression: " You guys succeeded really quick, congrats."

"It's all thanks to you, boss. If it wasn't for the high level technique you give us, we couldn't have succeeded in forming our physical bodies so quickly." Bai Lian smiled politely and thanked Li Jain. The others nodded and echoed his words.

 Li Jain nodded too then sat up. "The big day is tomorrow, the official opening of the Spiritual Tavern. Bai Lian, you'll be responsible for serving the take outs and collecting the money. Hou Mingyu, you'll serve the customers who prefer to eat in the restaurant. Zhou Lifen, your only job is standing at the gate, watching who comes in and exits this place.  As for Liu Xiong and Ding Weiyuan, you two are responsible for hunting and gathering. Remember, only  high level beasts and rare items are required. Said Li Jain seriously while holding his chin, thinking about what to do.

Everyone nodded their heads. Li Jain continued: "You guys don't have any missions right now, have a   rest and we'll begin tomorrow."

Liu Xiong and Ding Weiyuan look at each other, feeling pleased with their assigned jobs.

"This job doesn't seem hard to do." Bai Lian said with some doubts. Apart from hunting high level beasts and gathering rare herbs, their job seems like what any mortal could do.

 Li Jain however, shook his head and answered: "It's not easy, you need to work hard to complete the job. A week after opening, there will definitely be people seeking trouble. By then, you can practice your skills on them."

When they hear that there will be a lot of unreasonable people for them to beat,  Bai Lian and the others' eyes open wide in excitement. After all, it isn't often that one gets a chance to fight those crazy humans. They immediately got excited.

Seeing them being so energetic made Li Jain happy, he laughed and continued: "If there's nothing else, you guys can leave."

Bai Lian and the others all nodded, then turned around and left.  

Another peaceful night went by.
