My restaurant connects to the demon realm, and I've become incredibly wealthy!

Chapter 124 My Uncle is Here
Fu Lingshan found a seat in the room, took out the contract, and said, "You all line up! Hu Zi, Liu Zi, you two help me maintain order."

Tiger and Six were called upon and ran over eagerly.

"Brother Fu, leave the task of maintaining order to us."

The two were originally members of the guard team that maintained order in the slums. In the past year or so, every household has been unable to afford food, so who needs the guard team?

So these people had no use for their skills, and now that they can go back to their old profession, it's a job for them.

“Hmm,” Ling Shan began to sign the contract with them.

With people maintaining order, the scene remained calm.

Those who had signed the contracts eagerly went to the grain store with their tokens.

A long queue quickly formed in front of the grain store.

At this moment, a small, low-profile team entered Peach Blossom Town.

The team consisted of six people, all dressed in tight-fitting clothes and with sharp eyes.

These people exude an aura that suggests they've killed people.

"What's going on?" Xu Zhenhai asked, puzzled by the scene as he rode his tall horse.

The attendant went to inquire and asked a few people before returning.

"General, these people are here to collect their food rations."

"Receive food?" Xu Zhenhai's doubts grew stronger.

Without asking any further questions, I went directly to the restaurant next to the grain store.

"My little niece even gives restaurants unique names," Xu Zhenhai said with a smile and a shake of his head.

He only saw the child when she was born, and never saw her again. He was very grateful for what she did for the soldiers at the border.

The attendant went up and knocked on the door.

The white fox Yaoyao was sleeping when she heard a knock on the door and reluctantly opened her eyes.

Now she runs a restaurant at night and sleeps during the day, which has become a habit.

I was woken up by someone and I'm still a bit grumpy in the morning.

"Who is it?" I went downstairs with my hair all messy.

As soon as I opened the door, I was met with a pair of sharp eyes.

Uh?
Xu Zhenhai was dumbfounded. Without a doubt, the unkempt young girl in front of him must be his niece.

This girl's eyes are exactly the same as her sister's.

"Yaoyao, I'm your uncle." Xu Zhenhai tried his best to make his voice sound gentle.

Because of his years of fighting and killing, he naturally exuded an aura of authority and killing intent, and he was afraid of frightening his little niece.

The white fox Yaoyao blinked, her sleepiness vanishing in fright.

"Uncle?"

The man before me was tall and slender with a face as fair as jade. Years of fighting had not darkened his skin; it was fair with a healthy rosy glow.

Wearing a black robe with a qilin pattern and a black fox fur cloak, he looked even more noble and handsome.

Baihu Yaoyao was stunned. Wasn't this the real-life version of Lanling Wang?

With such handsome looks, wouldn't he have to wear a mask on the battlefield?

Xu Zhenhai smiled and ruffled the head of the white fox Yaoyao, his red lips curving upwards. "Yaoyao, you've grown so much? When your uncle first met you, you were just born."

"Hehe, I didn't expect my uncle to arrive so quickly. Come in quickly." Bai Hu Yaoyao was also very happy.

That intimate, blood-related feeling made her not reject his touch.

Xu Zhenhai led his men into the restaurant, where the room was warm and cozy.

Although spring has arrived in Northwest China and the snow has melted, it is still quite cold.

The room is so warm; it must be heated by an underfloor heating system.

Xu Zhenhai sat down, and the rest of his entourage found their own places to sit.

Bai Hu Yaoyao took out a teapot. "Uncle, let them make their own tea. I'll go get some snacks for you."

She ran upstairs as she spoke. She had just gotten up and hadn't washed up yet, so she quickly returned to her room to start washing up.

After washing up, he picked some fruit, some dried meat, and some snacks unique to the demon race before leaving the space.

"Uncle, here are some fruits and snacks, and some dried meat. Please have some first."

They looked travel-worn and must not have eaten properly.

Let them have these things to tide them over first, and we'll cook them a big meal later.

"Thank you, Miss." The guards smiled as they accepted the items.

Xu Zhenhai watched her busy with a smile, "If there's anything you need, let them help you. You should sit down and talk to your uncle."

"Okay." Bai Hu Yaoyao obediently sat down opposite him.

“Yaoyao, I originally planned to come see you before the New Year, but there were too many things to do at the military camp, and the Tianlang Kingdom repeatedly invaded our borders, so I had to stay at the border and only now have I had time to come see you.”

"You won't blame your uncle for breaking his promise, will you?"

They had planned to come and visit before the New Year, and they had already discussed it through the communication stone.

As a result, when the enemy attacked, he had no choice but to fight them first.

The people of the Tianlang Kingdom have lived on the grasslands for generations. They are fierce and resource-poor, and in winter they have no choice but to burn, kill, and plunder on the border.

He, the general guarding the border, will have a lot to do.

White Fox Yaoyao understood the hardships of guarding the border. "Uncle, don't blame yourself. I'm doing well! As long as you're all safe and sound, that's all that matters."

Xu Zhenhai was comforted; it was his little niece who knew how to care for him.

Unlike that brat Sheng Shi, who, upon arriving at the border, didn't even think about helping him defend the city, but instead abandoned him and returned to the capital.

"Yaoyao is still the best." Xu Zhenhai happily took a sip of tea.

"Uncle, did you come here for something else?" Bai Hu Yaoyao could tell that her uncle was a little embarrassed to ask.

It's better if she asks first.

The other guards also pricked up their ears to listen.

They came here because they really needed something from Miss.

"Yes! The soldiers at the border are almost out of food, and the medicinal herbs you provided are also running low. I came here to ask you if you can still get food and medicinal herbs?"

"Originally, with the Crown Prince in charge, even if no grain was transported to the border, at least military pay would be distributed. Now the Crown Prince says he can no longer provide military pay and grain, so I have to find a way myself."

"Don't worry, your uncle has brought you a lot of gold and silver treasures, as well as a lot of beautiful jewelry. These are all for the cost of buying food and medicine."

These gold, silver, and jewelry were all treasures he plundered after invading the Kingdom of Tianlang.

It's perfect for buying grain and medicinal herbs.

Bai Hu Yaoyao was both amused and exasperated. "Uncle, why are you being so polite with your niece? I can get the food and medicine myself."

"How about this? I'll send someone to open a low-priced grain store at the border you're guarding."

The lives of the people in the border town guarded by my uncle are very difficult, even more so than in Peach Blossom Town.

If affordable grain stores were opened in border areas, the people there would have a much better life.

She could also indirectly gain the power of faith, achieving multiple benefits in one fell swoop.

Xu Zhenhai's eyes lit up. "Are you serious? That would be wonderful."

He had visited the affordable grain store in Yunzhou City. Every day, long lines of people waited to buy grain. Thanks to the affordable grain store, Yunzhou City was no longer lifeless.

The people have begun to live and work in peace and contentment, and they are starting to plan to plant crops after the spring.

"Of course it's true!" Bai Hu Yaoyao shared many of her thoughts with him, and before they knew it, it was noon.

To properly entertain them, Baihu Yaoyao made hot pot.

Xu Zhenhai looked at the vegetables and fruits growing in the restaurant and felt completely numb.

Who is this amazing niece of his? She can actually grow vegetables in the dead of winter.

If the people living on the border could also grow vegetables, their lives would become much more prosperous.
