Chapter 458: Catering
"So according to your estimate, how much does the cost of the worst super-grade immortal weapon of the 'Blade Xuan' cost?" asked Zhang Huban, his eyes slightly flashing with the essence of the yellow-robed Dao Leader. [Full text reading]
Even the Wind Chasing Knife can be sold for a million, then his Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover has to be at least doubled, from a certain point of view, the alchemy of the Wudang School is more superior than alchemy, because the use of microscopic technology in the refining material link can save time, effort and materials!
"About fifty thousand!" said the yellow-robed Taoist chief after pondering for a while.
Zhang Huban's eyes lit up again!
While speaking, everyone arrived at the "Blade Pavilion", "Blade Pavilion" according to the Yellow Robe Dao Chang is the property under the name of the first family of Qinglong Island, the same as visiting the Tongdan Room, and the farthest to the ancestral continent.
There are no super-grade immortal weapons in the "Blade Pavilion", and the most powerful ones are high-grade immortal weapons, Zhang Huban is a master of refining, of course, he can't look down on it, so he also asked the shopkeeper for a price list.
The worst of the top grade immortal weapons is 5,000, the highest is 10,000, the middle grade immortal weapons are 500 to 1,000, and the first grade immortal weapons are all 100, as for the following immortal weapons, the "Blade Pavilion" is not sold. Zhang Huban glanced at it, handed it to Blair casually, and after Blair looked at it, he left the "Blade Pavilion".
Out of the "Blade Pavilion", Zhang Huban and others completed the preliminary market research on the future products and raw materials of the Wudang faction on Xuanguan Island.
"Now let's go to the business district on your main island. Zhang Huban said.
So everyone changed the street and walked into the local store on Genkan Island, the shop here is indeed much smaller, both the raw materials and the finished products are a little worse than the street just now, but the popularity is much more prosperous than the street in front. Of course, Zhang Huban does not think that this is because of the "patriotic" behavior of the residents of Xuanguan Island who support "domestic products", but because they are short of money, and most people can only afford to consume things here.
The entire Qinglong Kingdom will also have a "patriotic" spirit for the residents of Wudang City, Zhang Huban secretly thought proudly. In recent years, the Wudang faction has grasped the "spiritual and material civilization" with both hands, and the residents of Wudang City have supported the Wudang faction to an almost terrifying degree. Now as long as Zhang Huban appears in Wudang Xian City, the entire Xian City will be boiling, all the residents kneel down in the street to welcome, and some residents who feel a little bit of affection even burst into tears, so that Zhang Huban did not dare to go out at all without using the blind method. It's like the yellow-robed island owner next to him, where he passed, everyone avoided it one after another, with a look of fear in his eyes, if he wants such a resident to "love the country", pull it down!
Everyone walked all the way and looked at it, although the raw materials here were a little worse than the street just now, they were still much better than Wudang City.
There is still a large piece of land vacant in the Linglang Garden in Wudang City, it seems that a large amount of Lingcao immortal medicine will have to be transported back to Wudang City from the old brother in the yellow robe, if these medicinal materials grow in a good land like Linglang Garden, the growth speed and quality will definitely be greatly improved, so that everyone in Wudang City can take the good pill, Zhang Huban thought while walking.
Just as everyone was walking and watching, a strong smell of vegetables suddenly wafted in the distance. The yellow-robed Daoist's nose twitched, and his eyes lit up.
Zhang Huban looked up with some curiosity and saw a restaurant not far away.
"Fragrant Building!"
Zhang Huban shook his head, secretly despised the vulgarity of the catering industry in the fairy world, Canglang Yangdu used to have a Xiangmanlou, but I didn't expect that the restaurant here was still named Xiangmanlou, is there no other name to take? It is estimated that after walking a little further, you can see Juxianglou.
Blair and Athena's expressions also showed a faint disdain, look at our Wudang City, the names of the restaurants are varied, what Shangri-La, Prince Building, Caesar.......
"Big brother, this Xiangmanlou is the most famous restaurant in the entire Xuanguan Island, and the younger brother often comes here to satisfy his hunger, let's go up and try it!" said the yellow-robed Taoist leader warmly invited.
The catering industry is also one of the main industries in the future planned by the Wudang faction, although almost all the people in the fairy world have passed the Bigu period, and the diet is much worse than that of mortals, but the immortals are desperately cultivating not to enjoy the "flower world" of the fairy world?
Wudang City now has a special food street, Chinese food, Western food, Thai food....... Chinese food is also divided into Hangzhou cuisine, Fujian cuisine...... These restaurants are full almost every day, and it is not difficult to see that the immortals are also very interested in eating and drinking.
If the drug trade is the most lucrative industry on the earth, then in the fairy world, according to Zhang Huban and Blair's observation of the catering industry in Wudang City, it is believed that the catering industry is definitely a more lucrative industry than the drug trade in the fairy world. Moreover, the more prominent advantage of the catering industry is that there is no risk and the operating requirements are very low. Like alchemy and refining, it is necessary for the disciples of the Wudang faction who are good at alchemy and refining to come out, and the catering industry is not needed, even if there are only residents of Wudang Island in the Jindan period, as long as he has a talent for cooking and receives the incomparably unique training in earth cooking techniques compared to the fairy world, he can be sent out to take charge of the spoon and become a chef after the master is completed, and earn back a large number of immortal stones for Wudang City. So when Zhang Huban discussed with Blair about the future pillar industry of the Wudang faction, it was rare for the two to unanimously rank the catering industry first. For this reason, the Wudang faction has also specially recruited many residents of Wudang Island who have a talent for cooking, and they are seizing the time to do training work. One day, Zhang Huban was interested and taught them a lesson in person. The owner of the island can cook, and he cooks superbly, which shows what a noble and great profession cooking is, so excited that these future culinary masters can't close their eyes for a few days, and when they meet people, they say that the island bishop has cooked by himself, and then the chef has become a profession favored and respected by everyone in Wudang City, jokes, even the owner of the island is a top chef, how can the profession of chef be humble!
Seeing that it was the owner of the island who came, the man of Xiangmanlou hurriedly and respectfully led the way, and soon the boss also respectfully came over to guide the way.
The business of Xiangmanlou is very good, although it is not full, but there is also a seventy percent attendance rate, and the shopkeeper was ready to clear the venue immediately. Zhang Huban waved his hand to stop the shopkeeper's rude behavior, seeing that the yellow-robed Taoist was still puzzled, Zhang Huban knew that this kind of thing must happen often, so he glared at the yellow-robed Taoist and said: "You have to remember that in the store, the customer is the Jade Emperor, there is no distinction between inferiority, you can't let the boss here clear the scene again, you know?"
The boss is willing to teach that it is to save face, where is there a reason to shake his head, the yellow-robed Taoist immediately nodded and was taught, firmly remembering the wise saying that the customer is the Jade Emperor.
When the fat boss saw that Zhang Huban dared to teach the supreme leader of Xuanguan Island, he was almost so shocked that he died of cerebral congestion.
The shopkeeper who came back to his senses, and then tasted Zhang Huban's words, the whole person was almost petrified, and his eyes the size of mung beans looked at Zhang Huban with incomparably complicated eyes, faintly with tears.
Long live understanding!
The boss accompanied Zhang Huban and the others to the private room upstairs, and his head wandered around what Zhang Huban had just said.
The dishes here are obviously much more upscale than those that Zhang Huban once ate in Canglang Yangdu, because the "age" of the dishes here is obviously much older than the fragrant Manlou dishes in Canglang Yangdu, and the plant dishes are at least more than a thousand years old.
The yellow-robed Taoist nodded with great interest, picking the "oldest" one.
Zhang Huban and the other three shook their heads, when they first came to the fairy world, they might feel that these dishes were high-end, and they were also a little fresh, they could be eaten and tonic, but after staying for a long time, they found that there were many things in the fairy world, and they didn't need to rely on dishes to make up for them. This made the top culinary master Zhang Huban fiercely despise the legendary immortals.
Food, deliciousness is the true meaning!Zhang Huban muttered silently in his heart.
"Brother, order a few more vegetables. "Zhang Huban saw that the yellow robe Taoist nodded a thousand-year-old salmon, a 10,000-year-old turtle, and the pores were terrifying, I really don't know what kind of mentality this group of immortals is!
Seeing Zhang Huban open his mouth to ask for vegetables, the yellow-robed Taoist grinned, and secretly despised the eldest brother in his heart, a Wudang guy who had never seen the world, of course he had to eat the most expensive meat dishes when he came to such a place! But of course he didn't dare not listen to Zhang Huban's words, and then ordered the vegetables with the largest "age".
After ordering more than 20 dishes, Zhang Huban roughly calculated that he would ask for more than 500 low-grade immortal stones, which was almost the price of a medium-grade immortal weapon.
Zhang Huban and Blair glanced at each other, and each saw the sparkle of greed in each other's eyes. Although the Huangpao Dao Chang ordered the most expensive, as long as the dishes cooked by the chefs trained by the Wudang faction were better than this, then its price should not be inferior to this. Five hundred low-grade immortal stones, no need for Wudang disciples to go out in person, and the materials almost do not cost anything, in such a place where water and grass are fertile, catching a snowcock, elk or something, is as convenient as catching an ant on the earth.
It seems that after going back, the deity will have to give them a few more lessons in person! When do you have to let Dijiang go back to the earth, and let the Wudang faction recruit more cooks and management elites in the catering industry into the Wudang faction, Zhang Huban thought with bright eyes.
"Hey, brother, why don't you order wine?" Zhang Huban asked a little strangely when he saw that after the Yellow Robe Daoist finished ordering the food, he didn't order wine.
