Ancient Strengthening Techniques
Chapter 75 - The troublesome Black Fish
Over the past two days, Qing Shui immersed himself completely into his cultivation, and comprehended the techniques he had discovered. Now that he had sensed how powerful Xiantian Qi was, he could not wait to break through it.
These past two days, the Yu He Inn hired a new chef with outstanding skills. Be it steaming, grilling, boiling, frying, or even making soup, the flavor of the dish could only be described as delicious as a celestial banquet.
During these two days, there were many in the city, even visitors from outside the city, who had heard about the heavenly food news, but the majority of them only considered it a rumor. After all, the dish was still only a dish. How amazing and wonderful does a dish taste?
However, the truth immediately prevailed, as emanating from the Yu He Inn was the irresistible scent of a ripe fish that seemed to be constantly spreading out into the streets, that caused the majority of the crowd to salivate, fan their tastes and attract them. The smell of the fish was so satisfying that just by inhaling the smell of cooked fish, one could almost imagine themselves tasting the fish.
The most important factor was that/it was only a small amount of black fish that the Yu He Inn would sell every day. Even when the price is too high, there are still people lining up for it. Finally, only those with money and status, could enjoy the fish, which caused Yu He to feel somewhat helpless. After all, the supply of 10 fish per day seemed too little for the size and reputation of a high-class inn like the Yu He Inn.
Although the number of fish provided was low, news of the fish's flavor became more and more exaggerated, attracting more visitors while improving the name of the Yu He Inn.
Since the Yu Clan was one of the four great clans in Hundred Miles City, although there were many customers who were unhappy with the low number of fish sold, they did not dare to make a ruckus openly. However, soon after, the elders of the Yu Clan became knowledgeable about this, and after they had their first taste of meat, they were unable to stop themselves. How can only 10 fish per day be enough to be divided between them?
As someone from the junior generation, Yu He was truly in a difficult position. The different elders all watched him grow up, and had over 10 years of a very deep relationship with his father. Further, what is the money for them? Even if the black fish was worth twice, or even 10 times more, it would still not bother them in the least.
Yu He, under great pressure, could only give in to the demands of the old man. After all they were all pillars of the Hundred Miles City.
Of course, after people saw how prosperous the Yu He Inn business was, they also wanted a piece of cake. Using every possible means, they try to uncover the secrets behind the new chef. Although Yu He did not reveal any information, there must have been spies, as well as more talkative maids, trying to get close to his day.
Very tired of their complexity, Yu He began to issue a depressed******* whenever the black fish mentioned, subconsciously, the figure of a young man would appear in his mind. 10 Fish per day is really too little. What was going on in Qing Shui's head? Why did he refuse to get such easy money? She really felt like hitting him back then.
” Hmm, but still, he said that/it was these fish were reared using a secret breeding method, and thus their supply was very low. 10 Fish per day was already the absolute maximum amount he was able to sell me. ’’Yu He thought back to Qing Shui's words.
There were many who begged Yu He to sell them more black fish but helplessly, he could only use excuses such as the previous ordering, a large amount of effort required to cook the fish, he could only use excuses, lack of manpower etc to reject their request.
” No, this should not be allowed to continue, after the discussion with uncle hong, the 100 black fish that were supposed to last for 10 days were already out of half after three days. We should limit the number of fish sold further. ’
There were many sneaky people within the customer who wanted to target the head chef, but Yu He was not worried, however no matter how good the chef was, it was still useless. The main key to all of this was a young man named Qing Shui!
In the northern region of Hundred Miles City, there was a pavilion that looked ancient yet elegantly designed! The interior of the pavilion was beautifully designed, without considering the cost, bearing in mind that/it the owner of this place was someone who was extremely rich and had an extraordinary status.
” Useless trash, get lost. You better open your eyes wide and monitor the movements of anyone you find suspicious at the Yu He Inn. Scrams. ’’
” Understand that! ” That figure, whose back is bent deeply bent for the whole conversation, quickly retreat!
The kind old man, carrying a black fish on a plate, walked as he declared, ‘’Ba`er, let's try that fish.’
‘’Ah, Uncle Lei, you should have told the waiter to serve us. Come on, let's eat. Eating with Uncle Lei will definitely bring out the right taste of dishes. However, this fish ... is really something, even our status, we can only eat one per day. How unsatisfactory! ” Situ Ba angrily declared, as he brought the old man to the dining table.
The old man lowered his head in agreement, as the two of them started to enjoy the fish, both bound by mutual understanding.
’Very good, this fish is really delicious, every time I taste it, I never feel enough. F*k this. ’’The old man unhappily said.
’If we can command the main chef at Yu He Inn, we can eat this every day. However, the Yu Clan was really good at looking after mom. So far, there has been no news about who the main chef is. ’’
’’ Main chef my feet. ’’ The old man snorted. ’” By Yourself, with extensive years of experience I can say that/it is no ‘main chef ’in Yu He Inn. Special taste, can be produced by anyone. The only secret to this is fish. No matter the smell, taste, feeling when you chew meat, all of this comes from fish. ” Old man named Uncle Lei, eats quickly when he talks.
Situ Ba was shocked, this Uncle Lei was a precious guest of his Situ Clan and was a very close friend to Situ Nantian. This person, was a Precious Alchemist. Even in the major cities of the continent, his status would still be greatly respected.
”What? Uncle Lei you said that/that this fish is his secret? No master chef? ’
” Even though I am old, my eye strength is still pretty good. You should know that/that they only sell 10 fish per day, which means that/that this type of fish cannot breed en masse, which is why they have to control the supply. ’’Cynic light shone in his eyes as Uncle Lei explained.
” Uncle Lei, do you think we should investigate the source of this black fish? If there are so many, in the near future, we will all revolve in wealth. Back then, recruiting Xiantian Cultivators to help my Situ Clan was no longer a problem. ” A glint in Situ Ba's eyes, reflecting the old man's gaze.
’Although it may be difficult, we can not give up as long as there are strands of hope. 10 fish to fill the bucket, we can not give up, arrange for some men to stand guard at the main door and the side entrance of the Yu He Inn for anyone who seems to be transporting something. ” Uncle Lei smiled, as he lost himself in the delicious taste of the black fish.
Qing Shui, had no inkling of the problem his black fish caused, and had no idea how depressed Yu He was due to this matter. Of course, he did not know the plan hatched by the Situ Clan.
