Uncle Jiu: I am Chen Yulou, the leader of the Xiangling gang

Chapter 26, Changes in Wencai and Qiusheng

Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiu stared at Qiu Sheng in surprise and asked, "You can practice all night long?"

"I think he's sleeping like a dead pig!"

Seeing that Uncle Jiu didn't believe him, Qiu Sheng suddenly said excitedly: "Master, if you don't believe me, ask Wencai."

"Wencai, you say!"

"Have I been practicing every night these days?"

Wencai immediately looked at Uncle Jiu, nodded quickly and said, "Master, I can prove that Qiu Sheng has been really working hard on his cultivation these past few nights."

Uncle Jiu glanced at Wencai, then glanced at Qiu Sheng, and said in surprise, "Is it true?"

"Yulou, go out and see if the sun rises from the west today!"

Chen Yulou suddenly laughed.

With Uncle Jiu's strength, how could he not know what Qiu Sheng, who lives just across the wall, is doing every night!
"master!"

Qiu Sheng suddenly became anxious and looked at Uncle Jiu and said, "I am also your apprentice. You can't be too partial to me, especially since I am so talented. I won't have time to take care of you in your old age or give you a clock."

"You still have to rely on me and Wencai!"

Upon hearing this, Wencai immediately agreed, "That's right, Master. You still have to rely on us to take care of you in your old age!"

"So, don't be partial!"

Uncle Jiu immediately glared at Wencai angrily and said, "Why would I be partial? Are you two bastards not going to eat anything I cooked today?"

"Also, Qiu Sheng is practicing hard, how about you?"

Wencai was suddenly speechless and could only lower his head like an ostrich.

"Besides, I don't expect you two lazy guys to support me in my old age. When I am old, I will be very pleased if you two stop cheating and begging all the way and run to your junior brother's door to act pitiful!" Uncle Jiu said lightly.

Wencai was originally a little afraid of Uncle Jiu, but Uncle Jiu's words really irritated him. He immediately stopped pretending to be an ostrich and said with his neck stiff, "Master, your words are too contemptuous."

"I can't become a Taoist, that's because of my talent. How do you know I won't be able to provide for your retirement in the future?"

"And... and... I can cook. When I have enough capital, I'll open a restaurant. Even if I don't make a lot of money, I can still support you, my chef!"

Hearing this, Uncle Jiu was rarely startled and looked at Wencai carefully.

This kid!
Uncle Jiu couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart.

Wencai is almost his own son, but he doesn't see any good qualities in this kid.

So ugly!
Amorous!

Lazy temperament!

Stupid brain.

Almost anything can be screwed up.

This may be his previous opinion of Wencai.

But now it seems that at least this kid is filial and knows how to support himself in the future.

What also made him happy was Qiu Sheng.

This kid is smart, but lazy and likes to cheat. Although he has a talent for Taoism, he has no ambition.

I didn't expect that this brat now knows how to work hard on cultivating Taoism.

This made him look at Chen Yulou who was sitting opposite him.

His third disciple was so gifted and hardworking that he could actually bring about such changes in Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai.

This made Uncle Jiu's already happy mood even happier.

After thinking for a moment, Uncle Jiu glanced at Wencai calmly and said, "Then you should practice your cooking skills. After a while, when I have a surplus of money, I will open a restaurant for you in town."

Wencai was stunned when he heard this, and quickly looked at Uncle Jiu and asked, "Master, is this true?"

"You want to open a restaurant for me?"

Uncle Jiu immediately said in a bad tone, "When have I ever broken my promise?"

"That's a lot..." Wencai muttered softly.

"what?"

Uncle Jiu immediately glared at Wencai. Wencai was startled and quickly changed his words, "No! No, Master, you are the most trustworthy!"

"Humph!"

"So, if you don't want to practice Taoism, just cook well. It's a skill. Don't wait for me to open a restaurant for you. You'll close it down in less than three days."

"When that happens, I will kick you out of the charity cemetery and make you a beggar!" Uncle Jiu warned.

"Master, don't worry, I promise to do my best. I... I am going to get married!" Wencai seemed very excited and patted his chest to make the promise.

Uncle Jiu immediately laughed and scolded: "You are useless!"

"Senior brother, your cooking skills are very good. Your restaurant will definitely be prosperous. Maybe it can become a chain store in the future!" Chen Yulou said with a smile as he looked at Wencai.

To be honest, although he knew that he had played a certain "catfish effect" in the transformation of Wencai and Qiu Sheng, it still showed that Wencai and Qiu Sheng were not without potential, but that Uncle Jiu had over-indulged them and used the wrong teaching methods.

He was also very happy that there was such a change between the two of them.

After all, if they become a scourge like the one in the movie world, Uncle Jiu’s life wouldn’t be enough to harm the two of them.

Besides, this isn't a movie world.

If these two really became the scourge in the movie world, the harm they caused would definitely be more than what the movie showed to the audience, and the killing they created would definitely be much greater than that of the zombies and ghosts in the movie.

"Thank you, Junior Brother!"

"By the way, junior brother, what is a chain restaurant?" It was the first time Wencai heard this term.

Chen Yulou immediately smiled and said, "After you build a reputation for this restaurant in Renjia Town, you can open a restaurant in each of the other towns in Zhong County. Use the same name for all of them. From now on, anyone who eats at your restaurant will know it's you when they see the name. By then, you'll be the most famous chef in Zhong County."

"Once you're famous, keep opening new ones. Open new ones all over the mountain city and even outside Shu. By then, you'll be the best chef in Shu!"

When Wencai heard what Chen Yulou had said, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Uncle Jiu glanced at Wencai, shook his head, and interrupted Wencai's sweet dream, saying, "Don't dream, wait until you manage to run the first restaurant!"

"hey-hey!!!"

Wencai immediately smiled foolishly at Uncle Jiu.

Uncle Jiu glanced at Wencai, shook his head helplessly, and ignored him. Instead, he looked at Qiu Sheng and said, "Qiu Sheng, don't you want me to cook for you myself?"

"Well, when you break through to the second level of the Soul Nourishing Realm, I will personally cook you a sumptuous meal as a reward!"

"Really? Master?"

Qiu Sheng immediately stared at Uncle Jiu with anticipation.

"Yeah!" Uncle Jiu nodded seriously.

If this kid can really work hard to practice Taoism, it would be no big deal for him to cook a meal to reward him.

Qiu Sheng suddenly showed a look of joy and asked, "Master, I feel like I can draw a talisman to exorcise evil spirits!"

"Really?" Uncle Jiu looked at Qiu Sheng with a surprised look on his face.

"I'm sure!" Qiu Sheng said confidently.

Uncle Jiu immediately laughed and said, "Then let me see it after dinner!"

"If it's true, I'll cook a treat for you tomorrow."

"Really?"

Qiu Sheng was immediately surprised.

"It's just cooking a meal, what's real or fake?" Uncle Jiu glared at Qiu Sheng.

"But if you can't draw the talisman to exorcise evil spirits, wait and see how I punish you!"

"Master, don't worry!" Qiu Sheng responded happily.

"Okay, let's eat!" said Uncle Jiu.

"Master, good food goes well with good wine. Look...your snake and dragon medicinal wine..." Qiu Sheng looked at Uncle Jiu with a flattering smile.

"You kid..."

Uncle Jiu saw that Qiu Sheng was actually trying to get his snake dragon medicinal wine again, and he immediately wanted to refuse. But after thinking about it, he thought it was worth drinking some wine today, so Uncle Jiu nodded and said, "Forget it, I'll go get two jars!"
