From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 260 Today's Yu Family Noodle House
Chaoju Island, Chaoju City, Yujia Noodle House.

The Zhu family's ship sailed for a day and a night and docked at Chaoju City Ferry Terminal in the evening of the next day. This is the inner harbor terminal on the island, which is specially used to transport goods to the city.

Yu Shuyang brought two boys, and the father and son of the Chi family disembarked here. Zhu Gangbiao stood at the bow and bowed to say goodbye. He still had to turn west. The Zhu family's blessed land was on the north side of Wushuiling on Chaoju Island.

Two shrimp soldiers were already waiting at the dock. They were covered in glazed red shrimp shells and could be seen from a distance. The Quail Fire Shrimp Soldiers are unique in the East China Sea.

"Master Yu, I'm here."

The shrimp soldiers also saw Yu Shuyang and waved to him. The ten shrimp soldiers were considered the demon servants of Yu Shuyang's family.

In terms of affection, he is not as affectionate as Lao Moji, so they call each other according to the rules, which makes both parties feel more natural.

The candlelight spirit Wanjia whispered to Qifeng in a low voice. He was a veteran among the boys and had experienced many things.

Ever since they boarded the Zhu family's ship, the two of them have been together, whispering to each other from time to time. This is also Wan Jia's little thought.

Among all the boys, he arrived the earliest and broke through to the ninth level in cultivation the earliest. However, he is currently not as good as Zhixian Tuliu, who is responsible for taking care of the huge industry on Hushan Island.

Moreover, Tu Liu and Yun Hua were born sword-holding boys because of the Wuzhi Yaocao Sword. They also recognized each other as siblings and were considered to be in the same group.

Now that Qifeng has joined, he naturally wants to win him over. It just so happens that both of them are learning alchemy, so they can be considered a team in the future.

When Yu Shuyang saw the shrimp soldiers harnessing the carriage, he turned around and called out to the Chi family father and son, saying, "Chi, the master carpenter, and Chi, let's get in the carriage together."

The father and son of the Chi family followed Yu Shuyang into the carriage. The two old monkeys had lost all their monkey nature. Although they had not yet transformed into humans, their every move was like that of a human.

"The horse-drawn carriage in the island owner's house is really extraordinary. It looks like a dragon horse from the East China Sea?" Master Chi took a quick glance and realized that the white horse pulling the carriage had a special meaning.

"Longma, I heard that it is only in the Dragon Palace and cannot be leaked out, right?" Yu Shuyang remembered what Lao Moji had said before.

The war horses of the East and South Seas are dragon horses. This kind of dragon horse is not a dragon beast, but a spiritual horse among spiritual beasts. It is made by purifying its blood after swallowing dragon grass.

The master carpenter pointed at the horse's head and said, "You can touch the horse's head where the ears are, and you should be able to feel two round hard bones.

That is where the dragon's horn was sawed off. There is also a white line on the lower jaw, which is where the dragon ball was picked.

This must be a discarded dragon horse. Because the Dragon Palace has a rule not to kill dragons, they removed the dragon's horn, plucked the dragon pearl, and sold it as a spirit horse."

Yu Shuyang was also stunned when he heard this. He remembered that when Yu Fu talked about the transformation into a dragon, he mentioned "dragon liver", saying that it was the hunting and killing in the Dragon Palace and the hunting of dragons by gods.

"Is there a rule in the Dragon Palace that dragons cannot be killed?" Yu Shuyang asked.

“Of course there are. In our Kuhai Cliff Continent, many people practice the Dragon Transformation Method. If they are successful in their practice, they can get a job in the Dragon Palace and Water Palace.

The most taboo thing in the Dragon Palace is killing dragons. This isn't just forbidden among the aquatic creatures in the sea, it's also forbidden in the waters of the East and South Seas." Master Chi explained.

Seeing Yu Shuyang's confusion, the old monkey explained, "It seems that Island Master Yu really doesn't know. This matter isn't really a secret.

There are aquatic grass pastures in the Dragon Palace under the sea. The magical herbs in the pastures will appear on May 5th every year when people offer sacrifices to the Dragon God.

As the dragon grass grows, the evil spirit of the dragon will be born into a dragon ghost. This ghost is an evil beast without intelligence and is not aggressive.

However, if it is born in a place with heavy resentment, the evil beasts born will be ferocious and vicious, and they will be monsters that are born to be bloodthirsty and murderous.

Especially after the death of dragon beasts and dragon demons, most of them wanted to take revenge on the living dragons. Over time, killing dragons became forbidden in the Dragon Palace."

Yu Shuyang nodded in agreement after hearing this and roughly understood. It must be that long ago, the Dragon Palace had suffered a backlash from killing dragons, causing huge losses, so they turned around and banned the killing of dragons.

The carriage was moving slowly at the dock. Two shrimp soldiers and two boys were sitting outside the carriage. Qifeng was a wind spirit who was born with the ability to control the size of his body. He changed into a palm-sized body and squatted on the shaft.

Qifeng has a deer body and a roc head. His eyes can see hundreds of miles away. He looked around along the way and noticed that there were other monsters following him stealthily.

He hurriedly got into the carriage and whispered this to Yu Shuyang. It looked like three groups of monsters were following them slowly.

Yu Shuyang nodded when he heard this and asked Qifeng to continue staring. He thought to himself that this might be the follow-up to the Zhicao business.

He saw that the ruler-maker looked calm, while the carpenter looked a little gloomy, so he knew that the two old monkeys had also heard it.

"You two, after you get the talisman money from the store, you can try the delicious food in the store. The spiritual chefs in our noodle shop have excellent cooking skills." Yu Shuyang said with a smile.

Chi Dajiang said with a smile, "I've heard of the reputation of Yu's Noodle House for a long time. I must try it this time."

Yu Shuyang chatted with him for a while, and neither of them mentioned the tracking. They just waited for the carriage to arrive at the backyard of Yu's noodle restaurant, and the shrimp soldiers shouted outside.

"Master, get out of the car, we've arrived."

Yu Shuyang then lifted the door curtain, stepped out of the carriage, glanced at the backyard, and asked, "When did our noodle shop have a backyard?"

"Master, you don't know, our business is so good that we have joined forces with the teahouse next door, and four restaurants on the left and right have invested in us.

After the six restaurants were renovated, they had a backyard like this. There were red and white countertops on the stove, as well as tea, sour milk and dried fruits.

The rules in the kitchen are now much stricter than before. There are dedicated people for all purchasing, and they also have to keep accounts of income and expenditure.

We have five brothers who follow Ban Zhangxian in the kitchen, and even if we can't keep an eye on it, there are still many troubles.

"Master, I'll take the Wan family to the warehouse. Zhicao and Wucha also need to do the accounting. Now we're six families doing business together, so we need to do the accounting and calculate the capital." Xia Bing explained.

Yu Shuyang nodded with satisfaction. This was the method he had written to Yu Mu. If the noodle shop business wanted to expand, the profits had to be distributed.

"Wan Jia, take half of the mist tea and half of the grass, and go with them to prepare the settlement. I will take the two craftsmen from the Chi family to the counter to collect the talisman money." Yu Shuyang instructed Wan Jia.

Qifeng put the remaining two bags on his back, which contained 1.5 million catties of Zhicao and 20,000 catties of Yunwu tea.

Being held in two Qiankun bags, its volume and weight were reduced, but it still felt like 10,000 to 20,000 pounds when held in the hands, weighing Qi Feng down so much that he could hardly move.

In order to pack and distribute 3 million jin of Zhicao, Yu Shuyang specially asked Fu Yangzi for advice and refined two Qiankun Ruyi magic bags.

The Ruyi magic restriction can make the spiritual objects contained in it as large or small as desired, and as heavy or light as desired. In order to achieve this effect, a lot of effort was spent.

Unfortunately, it happened to be the Dragon God Festival on May 5th, and Uncle Mo wanted to use the aquatic plants planted on Yatou Mountain to attract the evil spirit of the dragon, and the two magic bags were also on him.

For this purpose, Yu Shuyang had to temporarily refine four talismans, which were naturally not as good as the Qiankun Ruyi Magic Bag, and could barely achieve a hundred times weight reduction.

This Qiankun bundle was modified from the Qiankun Bagua handkerchief. Originally a formation to trap the enemy, he had edited it down to leaving only the Qiankun and Kun energies, which could be used to collect and wrap the bundle. From the back door of the backyard, past the fire room, one could reach the front hall, led by another shrimp soldier, followed by a group of monsters.

The fire room is a steaming room that has been expanded four times. It has five rows of stoves in front and back, some for steaming steamed buns, dumplings, pastries, some for steaming spare ribs, and some for steaming meat.

Yu Shuyang took a quick glance and saw more than a hundred stoves, with at least two hundred spirit chefs, not counting the waiters running around.

At present, this is just a steaming room. In addition, there are also a stir-fry room for red cases and a soup pot for white cases, not to mention a tea room for making tea drinks and a water room for making sour milk.

How come the noodle shop business is so big now? Even though he sent out flying talismans many times and gave advice to Yu Mu privately, it would not have expanded to this extent.

After exiting the steam room, you enter the lobby on the first floor. Needless to say, the tables, chairs, benches, etc. are all standard furnishings. The private rooms are located on the second floor and above.

The six buildings and six floors were all connected. In addition to the scattered seats on the first floor, there were three stages, with people playing strings to tell stories, people beating drums and singing, and ten kinds of acrobatics.

There is a teahouse under the stage, where you can order tea or dim sum. The waiters running back and forth are all pig monsters, standing in human form with baskets in their hands.

This basket is also a magic tool. He saw a pig demon taking out flowers, fresh fruits, or various dried fruits from the basket.

When the performance on stage is going well, people from the teahouse on the first floor and the private rooms on the second floor can throw flowers to the audience. Each flower counts as ten talisman coins, which the noodle shop will pay to the artist later.

The fish mother is on the counter on the first floor. This is the cash box, the accounting office for recording daily accounts, and the wine cabinet for dispensing wine.

In addition to the fish mother herself, there were two co-bosses, a chicken demon and a centipede demon. At that time, there were also eight people who kept accounts and twelve big men who helped.

There are guests coming in and out of the door at any time, and the waiters have to receive them. The job of welcoming and seeing off guests is very difficult, and they have to understand the guests' intentions with just a few words.

When you meet a guest who puts on airs, you have to treat him/her with high praise and not let him/her lose face. When you meet someone who invites you to dinner, you have to calculate the guest's wallet and take care of the situation without making a sound.

Yu Shuyang didn't expect that in just half a year, Yu Mu had built up such a big scene and expanded a small noodle shop to this scale.

"Mom, our noodle shop is really lively." Yu Shuyang stepped forward and said to Yu Mu who was fiddling with the golden abacus.

The fish mother was checking the accounts here. Although she knew that her son was coming today, she was too busy to take care of him, so she only arranged two shrimp soldiers to ride in a carriage to pick him up.

"Oh, my silly brother is back, my darling, you are back." The mother looked up and saw her son, with tears in her kind eyes.

Seeing his mother's eyes filled with tears, Yu Shuyang quickly stepped forward and said, "Mom, you should be happy today, how can you cry?"

Yu Mu's cultivation broke through to the sixth level, and her body shape changed again. She was no longer as tall as before, but now she was eight feet tall, and her broad back and strong waist had become much thinner.

"Mom, why have you lost so much weight?" Yu Shuyang asked in confusion.

Yu Mu rolled her eyes at her son, took out two boxes and a purse from the counter, and said, "You two are the carpenters of the Chi family, right?

These two boxes contain New Year's coins, each box contains one thousand New Year's coins, which is equivalent to two million New Year's coins. This bag contains eight hundred thousand New Year's coins.

Please take inventory. We have a private room upstairs for you two. You can try our specialty food later."

After saying that, Yu Mu pushed over the two boxes and a purse, waiting for the father and son of the Chi family to take out the business contract to settle the accounts.

The New Year's money comes in whole boxes, which are specially used for big business. It is rarely used individually on the market. This New Year's money is different from the talisman money, and it can be used as a magic tool.

The father and son of the Chi family, one used his divine sense to check the talisman money, and the other opened the money box to check the annual money. The inspection was completed in a breath.

"Boss, this is the business contract, please keep it." Master Craftsman Chi took it out from his magic bag. This was the work contract that had been finalized earlier on Hushan Island and signed on the spot.

The fish mother glanced around and said to the centipede demon beside her, "Lao Hua, you use the seal and absorb this nourishment."

This old man, whose name is Hua Buzhi, is a Taoist monk who practices the art of wealth and is one of the six partners in the noodle shop.

This centipede monster had hands all over his body, one of which held a wooden seal for stamping. After the job was done, the work contract turned directly into ashes.

A big clerk at the counter directly sent the father and son of the Chi family to the private room on the second floor. The chicken demon and centipede demon on the cash box here both stuck their heads out.

"This is my nephew. He is indeed a handsome man. Look at his appearance and clothes." Hua Buzhi was the first to praise him.

"Alright, you two stay here and watch carefully. I'm taking my son to the backyard. Don't make any mistakes in the account. I'll come back to check the flow of this time."

The fish mother took her son's hand and went to the backyard happily. However, it was hard for the wind demon Qifeng, as he had two Qiankun bags on his back and was staggering with every step.

After entering the backyard, Yu Mu glanced at Qi Feng and asked Yu Shuyang, "Is this the boy you just enlightened?"

The fish mother knew that her son had the habit of training boys, and the few useful goblins around him were all trained by her personally.

"This wind spirit is commonly known as Qifeng. Look at its appearance, it has the head of a wind roc and the body of a moon-shaped deer." Yu Shuyang introduced it to Yu Mu with a smile.

Seeing Qifeng struggling, Yumu reached out and took the bag off the deer's back, saying, "What is this? Why is it so heavy?"

"This is the remaining Zhicao and Yunwu Tea. Half of the Zhicao has been sent to the kitchen, and the other half has to be sent to the Jinlu Island store. I plan to take the tea to Qingqiu.

Oh, half of the Zhicao was sent to the kitchen. Is there any need to divide it again?" Yu Shuyang just remembered.

The noodle shop uses zhicao, and the Yatoushan steamed bun shop has to share a share of the zhicao. The noodle shop here is a joint business, and the steamed bun shop is their own business.

"It's okay. The ones stored in the warehouse are half a fairy and shrimp soldiers. The extra ones will be taken back later. I called you over because I have a few things to tell you.

One is the matter of Zhicao. Now the business of the store is getting bigger and bigger. Even if the six companies join forces, they can’t stop it. Money is attractive.

Fortunately, the news that your godmother is about to break through to the fifth level has spread, temporarily frightening some of the demon fairy families. The problem now is those wild demon cultivators.

There are three demon fairies in charge of our store, and they come to cause trouble from time to time, so we have to be on guard against many things.

Secondly, there is the matter of Hushan Island. The desolate sea has turned from a ghost sea into a thunder sea. Many demon and fairy families have come to discuss cooperation, thinking of moving the floating island there.

This is also a troublesome matter. Not to mention Zhitian's safety, it is also a problem for the Mu family in Chaoju City. They are afraid of being blamed by the Mu family, so they want to find someone to take the blame."

Mother Yu narrated these things to her son. Ever since Father Yu went into seclusion to cultivate, she gradually learned to discuss things with her son.

Yu Shuyang then understood what was going on with the people following him at the dock.

　It’s so difficult to write. I’ve reached a new turning point and I’m so angry.
