Back in the Qin Mansion, in the hall, Qin Feng saw several old faces, and also saw a few new faces.

Master Muyu and steamed buns, he was naturally very familiar with them, but a Taoist priest and two Taoist boys, he had never seen them.

Moreover, this Taoist priest was covered in gold, silver and jewelry, as if others did not know that he was rich.

At this time, Fu Bo introduced, "This is a Duobao Dao man from Duobaomen, a master who travels all over the world, and the dragon sees the head but does not see the end, and Wuhou is also an old acquaintance. These two Taoist children are the special protégés of Duobao Taoist, Zhaocai and Jinbao. ”

In fact, seeing that the seats of Duobao Dao people in the hall were second only to Master Muyu, Qin Feng already had a rough idea in his heart, and when he heard Fu Bo's introduction, he immediately bowed and said, "Junior Qin Feng, I have seen my predecessors here." ”

"Hmm. Wuhou's five sons are really talented, mature and steady. The most rare and valuable thing is that you know how to act politely, unlike you Lao Tzu, who knows nonsense. "Duobao Taoist Tong Yan Hefa, sitting upright like a mountain, if it weren't for the worldly spirit of gold, silver, pearls and jade, he really looked like a monk immortal coming down from the fairy mountain.

"If my two disciples can have half of you, then I will really be relieved. ”

Hearing the words of Duobao Daoren, Qin Feng hurriedly said, "The seniors have praised it, the disciples of the seniors are naturally the dragons and phoenixes among the people, how can the juniors compare." ”

It's just that as soon as Qin Feng's polite words came out, he saw that the expression of Duobao Dao was a little unnatural, and when he looked at Zhaocai, he had a lively expression.

Jinbao, the little hand clenched the corner of the clothes, and the little face looked very nervous.

"Senior, did the junior say something wrong?" Qin Feng asked with some embarrassment.

"Hahaha, Bullnose Old Dao, what's wrong? I was poked in the wound? How old is the person, how many years have I been struggling with that incident. If Wuhou knew about it, he would have to die of laughter. The wooden fish master on the side laughed.

"Yes, yes, first of all, laugh at you to death this bald head who can only knock wooden fish, then it's really happy. Duobao Dao people replied without admitting cowardice.

In this matter, for Duobao Dao people, it is second only to gold, silver and jewelry.

Hearing the words of Duobao Daoist, Master Muyu, who was wearing a tattered robe, just smiled slightly, and the Buddha groaned, "Amitabha." ”

"As the saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, and the more you talk, the more speculative you are. It is rare that in the past few days, the two seniors have come to the mansion as guests, and Young Master Qin Feng specially found the three most famous chefs in the city, and waited to taste their craftsmanship together. Fauber hurried to play the round to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Hearing Fu Bo's words, Qin Feng admired Fu Bo very much in his heart, this kind of intimate arrangement could just save the scene.

Of course, Qin Feng also reflected on himself in his heart, these seniors have very different temperaments, they behave as they like, and their preferences are different, and when they get along with them, they must not say much to avoid mistakes.

Otherwise, it would not be a good thing for Qin Feng to provoke anyone.

So, Qin Feng pushed Fu Bo out and asked him to entertain the two seniors, while he used the excuse to deal with the backlog of shop affairs during this time.

In the study, Qin Feng was checking the details of the accounts and inventory of the three shops, as well as the progress reports of the three renovation plans.

"Young Master, Shopkeeper Liu and Shopkeeper Luo have arrived. A waiter reported to Qin Feng.

"Hmm. Let them in. After Qin Feng finished his order, he continued to look through the report.

Liu Zining and Luo Yi entered the study and waited quietly for Qin Feng to finish reading the report.

"Uncle Liu, Uncle Luo, you are here. ”

Qin Feng, who finished reading the report, raised his head and continued, "It seems that Bai Yujing is busy swallowing Qian Yijiang's industry and doesn't have much energy to pay attention to us, the layout of the two uncles in the three shops is very good, I believe that the effect will be seen soon." In addition, the progress of the three innovation projects has been faster than I expected. In this way, it won't be long before we will no longer be elbowed by Bai Yujing. In addition, Baichuan Academy asked the Qin Mansion to receive 30% of Qian Yijiang's industry this time, what do you think?"

"Young Master, although this incident is a bit abrupt, it is also reasonable. What Baichuan Academy wants most now is the stability of the situation in the city, and at the same time, they don't want Bai Yujing to become another Qian Yijiang in this incident. ”

Liu Zining has a very unique view on some things, and he has a rigorous style of acting, considering the internal logic of the event, Qin Feng has learned a lot before.

"In addition, the biggest point about Baichuan Academy's entry into the Qin Mansion is our background. Liu Zining said with a smile.

"Our background?" Qin Feng didn't quite understand.

"The Marquis of Wu is a 'new faction' that has emerged in the past two decades, and unlike the Houmen forces that represent the interests of the 'old faction' aristocracy, these two factions are like fire and water in the court, attacking each other. According to the information I received before, the empire wanted to strongly intervene in the academy this time and incorporate the Baichuan Academy into one of the 'Spring and Autumn Ten Academies', which was promoted by the old faction of the DPRK and China. Therefore, for Bai Yujing, who was closely related to the old school forces, the academy naturally did not want to see his family dominate. Therefore, the Wuhou Qin Mansion, which has the background of the new faction, is naturally the best choice. ”

After listening to Liu Zining's explanation, Qin Feng was surprised in his heart, behind these seemingly strange things or decisions, there were so many power contests and entanglements of interests.

Without Liu Zining's explanation, Qin Feng would probably never have been able to understand why the academy had suddenly given him such a big benefit.

"Uncle Liu, I understand. Since Baichuan Academy wants to pull us into the game to balance the forces of the old faction, they naturally have to show some sincerity. Recently, I have integrated Qian Yijiang's Sancheng industry, and I want you to help me be a shopkeeper, I'm really sorry for you, Uncle Liu. ”

"Young master, where is it. This opportunity can be said to be a once-in-a-century opportunity, once we gain a firm foothold in Cloud Sky City, it will be difficult for Bai Yujing to shake us. Liu Zining was happy from the bottom of her heart to see the growth of Qin Feng and the growth of Qin Mansion.

"Uncle Luo, the planning of the alchemy room, the arsenal and the fighting arena is faster than I expected. According to the report, there will be a trial operation in the next two days. In terms of manpower, there is no problem?" Qin Feng looked at Luo Yi and asked.

"Young Master, the alchemists in the alchemy room have currently recruited one alchemy master, three alchemists, and Liu Zining have also checked it, and there is no problem with the background and ability of several people. The inventory of the arsenal is still affected by the current situation, and the business lines that can be used are limited, and only ordinary weapons have a certain inventory. The preparations for the arena have been smoothest, with the official opening a day later, and tickets for all seats have already been sold. ”

"Well, well done, continue to track these projects, especially the upfront investment and management. If you can't get busy, you can transfer some trustworthy people from the three shops. Take advantage of this opportunity to train a group of core personnel as soon as possible. ”

For the shop, Qin Feng also has his own plans.

It's just that the scale of the industry that belongs to him is too small to form a scale effect, and it can't show the power of money resources.

Then, Qin Feng handed over the documents that Ye Zhiqiu had sent to the Qin Mansion early in the morning to Liu Zining, and said, "Yesterday, Ye Zhiqiu found me and said that he wanted to make a deal with me. He used a bottle of star crumbs in exchange for forty percent of the income of three shops for ten years, but he did not interfere in management. In addition, he needs us to help him with the running and accounting of his private property. Uncle Liu, you take a look at these information that needs to be flowed first, and I will reply to him in a few days. ”

Hearing Qin Feng mention "star dust", Liu Zining and Luo Yi's expressions were a little surprised.

Star dust, as one of the "Nine Wonders" of the empire, the value is naturally clear at a glance, because the annual supply of star dust has long been divided, resulting in a price and no market.

If Ye Zhiqiu only proposed these two exchange conditions on the surface, people couldn't help but doubt Ye Zhiqiu's intentions.

"Okay, young master. I'll take a good look at this information and get back to you in a day. Liu Zining put away the documents and said solemnly.

"Hmm. In addition, Uncle Liu, regarding Lin Xiaohu's injury, you mentioned in your letter that the Six-Color Lingyuan Pill also needs a key medicine 'Cloud Grass', I don't know if there is any news. Qin Feng had a good impression of Lin Xiaohu, he was still the team leader of his first mission, and he wanted to help Lin Xiaohu as much as possible.

"Since the medicine of the six-colored Lingyuan Pill is extremely difficult to find, all the pharmacies in the city have searched for it, but they have not found it. However, don't worry too much, young master, I will continue to expand the scope of searching, and I will inform you in time as soon as there is news. ”

"Well, there's no hurry to do this, so let's find it slowly. ”

Qin Feng knew that some rare and exotic grasses were either obtained by chance or through special channels, and they were not something that could be solved in a hurry. Then, Qin Feng handed a drawing to Luo Yi and said, "Uncle Luo, please help create a mask according to this drawing." ”

Luo Yi took the drawing and looked at it, only to see a blue-faced fang-shaped Shura mask painted on it, and he didn't ask anything more, so he agreed.

After dealing with the desk matters, Qin Feng suddenly felt relaxed.

In a blink of an eye, it was close to noon, and Qin Feng shouted Liu Zining and Luo Yi to go to lunch together.

The dining table is full of all kinds of delicacies, and the skills of the three famous chefs in the city are indeed worthy, and each has its own strengths.

Chef Jiang is good at cooking all kinds of meat dishes, and has a variety of techniques, cooking, frying, stewing, and various delicacies;

Chef Li is good at making all kinds of vegetarian dishes, and all kinds of ingredients not only maintain the original flavor, but also complement each other with various meat dishes;

Chef Zhao is good at the "carving beams and paintings" of ingredients, and each ingredient is like a work of art after his processing.

This meal, everyone ate very happily, because the dish is prepared for two large tables, after all, the amount of rice from the master of wooden fish and steamed buns is getting better and better.

Of course, the mutual affection between the Muyu master and the Duobao Dao people added a lot of fun to the dinner.

It's the disciples of the two, steamed buns, Zhaocai, and Jinbao, and the three of them get along very harmoniously.

Zhaocai fiddles with this plate of peanuts alone, enjoying himself.

Jinbao opened her big watery eyes and stared straight at the steamed bun, in her eyes, the steamed bun had the most dazzling brilliance in the world.

The steamed bun was still gobbling up at first, but when he found Jinbao's gaze, he immediately became nervous, his little face began to blush a little, and his original bold posture was swept away, turning into chewing and swallowing slowly.

Looking at the living treasure-like guests at this table, Qin Feng was relieved, at least he didn't have to worry about saying the wrong thing in front of the two seniors.

After the meal, everyone dispersed, resting, spreading, or busy.

Qin Feng came to the cultivation room in the backyard and did a day's cultivation lunch.

At this time, a figure entered the cultivation room.

"Duobao Dao people?"

Qin Feng, who was moving his muscles and bones and pondering the moves, saw that the Duobao Daoist had come to the cultivation room, so he immediately stopped the moves in his hand and hurriedly asked.

"Qin Feng, did these moves be handed over to you by Wuhou?" asked Duobao Daoist directly to the point.

Qin Feng didn't understand the intentions of Duobao Daoist, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he had to tell the truth, "These moves are my own comprehension. ”

Sure enough, I guessed so. ”

Duobao Daoist walked up to Qin Feng and continued, "Your practice is a mess, it's like spreading joy in a puddle of mud. ”

"Senior, what do you mean by this?" Qin Feng asked with a slight displeasure.

Although Qin Feng also knew that these loose styles of hands and feet were only comprehended by himself according to the general outline of the nine-character mantra, it was difficult to get into the hall of elegance.

But after all, he worked hard to figure it out, and at this time he was said to be worthless, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

"What's the matter? At a young age, I don't have much ability, but my temper is not small. ”

Seeing that Qin Feng was a little breathless, Duobao Daoist touched a piece of gold ingot in front of him, and then said, "If you continue to cultivate like this, don't talk about your future achievements, just knock on the level and ask the spirit, and don't think about the past in your life." ”
