Universe Infinite Canteen.

Chapter 446 New Renovation

After the gold medal producer joined, Malu collected a total of 2316 business points in the next five days.

After acquiring the business point, Malu couldn't wait to start decorating the restaurant.

He first replaced the cheap second-hand chairs that he had bought in the cafeteria with upholstered black walnut chairs, and then replaced the dining table with black walnut.

Afterwards, he also replaced the light bulb above his head. In fact, lighting is also very important for a restaurant, because it will directly affect the taste of the dishes and the sense of ritual when dining, especially at night. Good lighting will make the dishes on the table look more delicious.

In order to save money, Malu had just made do with the lighting when renovating the place. Later, when he made some money, he thought the renovations were too troublesome, so he never made any changes. The visual aspect was entirely saved by Lao Wang's plating.

But now that the problem can be solved with just a few clicks, there is no reason for him to delay any longer, so he replaced all the previous incandescent bulbs with full-spectrum adjustable color temperature and brightness straight strip chandeliers, about 75 cm above the dining table.

In addition, a vase was placed on each table, and the atmosphere was immediately felt.

But this made the original floor and walls of the hot pot restaurant seem out of place again. Malu replaced the floor with a herringbone pattern of solid wood, but by this time the more than 2,000 business points he had in hand had been mostly used up.

There are not enough tiles on the wall to replace at the moment, so we have to wait until next week.

However, even though the renovation was only half completed, it still scared the diners, and some even thought that Mr. Ma was planning to raise the prices.

Because of the battle-damaged style decoration of the Universe Infinity Canteen before, a single dish was sold for hundreds of dollars. Now that the decoration level has been improved, shouldn’t the price also increase?
Some diners approached Malu fearfully to inquire, and ended up getting both good news and bad news.

The good news is that the Universe Infinite Canteen has no plans to raise prices recently. The bad news is that their question reminded Malu, making him realize that he can raise the prices of the dishes after the installation is completed.

Nowadays, the lines in front of restaurants are getting longer and longer every day. Sometimes you can’t get a meal if you don’t queue up two or three hours early. To be honest, this also affects the dining experience.

Raising prices can also shorten waiting times.

However, this is the critical period to attract traffic to Chiling, and Malu is reluctant to give up such a large amount of traffic, so he decided to wait a little longer, at least to complete the decoration of the restaurant.

After finishing the work at hand, without having time to relax, Malu embarked on a journey to find food and returned to Yuchang County again.

This time, nothing unexpected happened. Gu Qingyi went out of the city to wait for him, and the two met successfully.

Malu learned from Gu Qingyi what had happened in the county during the days after he left.

Because he and Gu Qingyi caught the real murderer who killed Deputy Sect Leader Xu, Yite successfully restrained Tan Mazi and others who were determined to avenge Deputy Sect Leader Xu, and prevented them from seeking revenge on the Beggars' Sect.

The Beggars' Sect also temporarily shelved its attack plan on the Tianlong Sect due to the persuasion of Chu Qianyuan and several elders.

But just yesterday, someone died in the city again.

And this time, seven people died. These seven people were not from the Tianlong Sect or the Beggars' Sect, but they were martial arts masters who came to help the Beggars' Fist, and they all came from unusual backgrounds.

They are either long-time masters in the martial arts world or core disciples of famous sects. The combined forces behind these people are so powerful that even the Beggars' Sect cannot afford to offend them.

After their death, the first group to be suspected was the Tianlong Sect. However, since they came to help the Beggars' Sect, the Beggars' Sect could not sit idly by, so the atmosphere in the city immediately became tense again.

"It's really a coincidence that these people died." Ma Lu commented after hearing this. Gu Qingyi nodded, "That's right, the Beggars' Sect just decided to postpone the attack on Tianlongmen, and they died within two days. It's simply forcing the Beggars' Sect to continue fighting Tianlongmen."

She paused and continued, "I have found the man you asked me to send the butterfly to the Xu Mansion. Manager Zhou has some impression of him. He said that the man's name is Liu Huozui, and he is the most famous man in Yuchang County. He not only sells people but also houses. However, he died three years ago."

"His eldest son said he died of evil spirits, but some neighbors said it was because he had done too many evil things and suffered retribution. He was haunted by an evil spirit and died."

"Three years ago? Does that mean he died a year after Caidie entered the Xu Mansion?" Ma Lu touched his nose, "This is another coincidence. The person behind the scenes is really cautious."

When he said this, he looked at Gu Qingyi again. He originally thought that the girl would be a little disappointed after this clue was broken, but he didn't expect that Gu Qingyi was not anxious at all, and looked confident.

Ma Lu asked curiously, "Why, do you have any other gains?"

Gu Qingyi nodded and said, "According to Liu Huozui's eldest son, Liu Huozui was a little uneasy a month before his death, and when his family asked him what he was worried about, he kept silent.

"But he did have a good friend named Qin Feng, who grew up with him. Qin Feng was originally an officer in the county government, but one time when he was escorting a prisoner, the prisoner escaped. He was afraid that he would be punished when he returned, so he ran away as well.

"He became a bandit in the nearby mountains. Liu Huozui's eldest son said that Qin Feng had returned to Yuchang County a month before Liu Huozui's death and met with Liu Huozui. It was after that meeting that Liu Huozui began to become uneasy and suspicious.

"So Qin Feng came back to warn Liu Huozui. If we find Qin Feng, we should be able to know who killed Liu Huozui." Ma Lu said.

"I think so too."

"Then did you find Qin Feng?"

"Not yet." Gu Qingyi shook his head. "I only know that he has become a bandit in Wohugang, but there are several groups of bandits in Wohugang. I don't know who he followed. I am planning to go to Wohugang to take a look."

"Then let's go together, but before we go, I have to do one thing first."

"what's up?"

"I want to go and pay my respects to the seven masters and upright disciples you mentioned earlier who died."

"Ah? Are we going to pay our respects again?" Gu Qingyi didn't understand why Malu was so interested in mourning the dead and would pay his respects to everyone he met.

Could it be that his teacher is among them?

This, this is not possible.

Then she heard Malu explain, "These people were most likely killed by the person behind the scenes. Maybe we can get some other clues from them."

Well, that makes sense.

Gu Qingyi said, "I checked, and the bodies were badly damaged. Even if there are any clues, it would be hard to find them. But if you want to go, I will go with you to have a look."
