After transmigrating, I cultivated immortality by smelling the scent.

Chapter 13 Ye Xiaobai is invited to Xiaoyao Restaurant

While Ye Xiaobai and Niu Dazhuang were sitting drinking and chatting, Manager Li stood at the shop entrance, looking up into the distance and muttering to himself, "With this kind of business situation, it seems like it's time to close down and go back to my hometown to retire."

"Dad, why close the shop? This shop is the culmination of your decades of hard work. I strongly oppose you closing it!" A melodious young girl's voice rang out.

Then, the fragrance of apricot blossoms slowly approached the shop, and Ye Xiaobai couldn't help but turn his head to look at the shop entrance.

Soon, a young woman with skin as white as snow and eyebrows as delicate as a painting appeared beside Manager Li. She wore a light blue long dress, typical of outer disciples of the White Tiger Sect, an elegant outfit that accentuated her slender and graceful waist. With her sleeves lightly rolled up, every gesture she made exuded a refined and ethereal beauty.

"Business is bad now, and we can't keep losing money like this! To be honest, I don't want to close down the shop either," Manager Li said helplessly.

"I know it's because the chef left without saying goodbye. Our food isn't as good as it used to be, so naturally we have fewer customers. But I heard there's a place in the market that sells Qiankun Fried Rice that's really popular lately. Let's see if we can poach him!"

Upon hearing "Qiankun Fried Rice," Ye Xiaobai was momentarily stunned, thinking to himself, "Is this a trap?"

"Senior Brother Ye, what are you daydreaming about? Eat!" Niu Dazhuang said, looking at Ye Xiaobai who was in a daze.

"Eat, eat, eat!" Ye Xiaobai replied hastily.

The girl and Manager Zhou chatted as they walked into the shop.

"I heard that the owner of Qiankun Fried Rice has already rejected the owner of Fresh Fresh, so he'll look down on a small shop like ours even less!" Manager Li said with a hint of regret.

To everyone's surprise, the young woman said, "With my stunning beauty, winning over that little stall owner will be a piece of cake!" She then tidied her makeup.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaobai couldn't help but spit out the food and wine in his mouth with a "pfft!"

The girl was immediately drawn by the noise, walked to Ye Xiaobai's table, and sneered, "What? Are you two dissatisfied with the taste of our food and drinks, or are you questioning my..."

Without uttering the word "appearance," Ye Xiaobai quickly wiped herself clean, stood up, and explained, "Senior sister, we didn't dislike the taste of the food and wine; we were just thinking about something happy."

"What's so happy about it?" The girl wouldn't budge.

With a "pfft!" sound, Niu Dazhuang burst out laughing for some reason.

The girl turned around and pointed at Niu Dazhuang, saying, "So you've thought of something happy too?"

Niu Dazhuang quickly explained, "Yes, I couldn't help but laugh when I thought about how I could make a lot of spirit stones by catching monsters in the future!"

"And you?" the girl persisted.

"This..." Ye Xiaobai was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to explain.

Manager Li immediately came over and smoothed things over, finally ending this unexpected incident.

After the meal, Ye Xiaobai and Niu Dazhuang went back. When they parted, Niu Dazhuang said that he would treat everyone next time he caught monsters and made money.

……

The back room of Xiaoyao Restaurant.

An old man and a young man were discussing something there.

"Dad, actually I've been thinking of other ways to solve the crisis our store is currently facing," the girl said.

"What method?" the elder asked calmly.

"My daughter is currently trying to contact Elder Liu Santong of the Outer Sect. I've heard that he is an excellent cook and a connoisseur of fine wine. If our chefs could receive his guidance, our crisis could be resolved."

Why should he help you?

"That's why my daughter said she would find the person who makes Qiankun Fried Rice, buy a bottle of 50-year-old spirit fruit wine, and invite Elder Liu over to give his critique and some pointers on cooking."

"This method might work, but you still need to focus on your cultivation. After all, you've already reached the peak of the fourth level of Qi Refining. You'll soon reach the fifth level, and if you break through to the ninth level as soon as possible, you can enter the inner sect!"

"I understand, my daughter knows what she's doing."

These were things Ye Xiaobai was naturally unaware of.

……

Ye Xiaobai returned to his cave and began to cultivate. After all, with the Qi Refining Powder, his cultivation progressed much faster.

However, the thought that the senior sister might contact him tomorrow made him feel a little lost.

However, considering that his cultivation level was only at the second level of Qi Refining, which was quite different from that of his senior sister who was almost at the fifth level of Qi Refining, Ye Xiaobai realized once again that he had to improve his cultivation level as soon as possible. At the same time, he also bought some other basic spells and techniques to practice.

Having finished his cultivation, Ye Xiaobai went to sleep, as he would be setting up his stall again the next day.

The next day.

Ye Xiaobai got up early again, got ready, and went out to set up his stall.

When Ye Xiaobai arrived at the market, many people had already started queuing up.

Ye Xiaobai was already quite adept at cooking fried rice.

An hour later, Ye Xiaobai suddenly smelled a familiar scent—the fragrance of apricot blossoms. The girl had arrived.

Ye Xiaobai couldn't help but feel nervous. The girl from Xiaoyao Restaurant arrived quite quickly. There was nothing to be afraid of; he could just refuse her. That was Ye Xiaobai's original plan.

Because he had been focused on frying rice, Ye Xiaobai had just finished a plate of Qiankun Fried Rice and handed it to a customer when their eyes met. The girl exclaimed in surprise, "So you're the owner of the Qiankun Fried Rice stall!"

"That's right, Senior Sister Li, you'd like a Qiankun Fried Rice too!" Ye Xiaobai said enthusiastically.

"I'll have one to try first!" The girl wasn't in a hurry.

Soon, Ye Xiaobai finished making the Qiankun Fried Rice. Watching Ye Xiaobai's skillful movements and the delicious-looking Qiankun Fried Rice, the girl gained a completely new understanding of him.

Senior Sister Li tasted it and said, "The taste is indeed good, but I don't like fried rice. The loss of spiritual energy is also well controlled. It's really only slightly different from 'Fresh on the Bone'." She paused and then said, "I'd like to invite you to be a chef at Xiaoyao Restaurant. What do you think?"

"I can only make Qiankun Fried Rice, I can't make anything else, my abilities are limited, I'm sorry, I can't help you, Senior Sister!" Ye Xiaobai quickly found various reasons to refuse Senior Sister Li.

Senior Sister Li smiled slightly and said, "With the foundation of Qiankun Fried Rice, you'll learn other things very quickly. Besides, an outer sect elder specifically asked to try your Qiankun Fried Rice. You wouldn't refuse the elder, would you?"

"An outer sect elder called for attendance? If you want to eat, tell him to come here." Ye Xiaobai immediately found another excuse; he was simply not going to Xiaoyao Restaurant.

"You expect us, the dignified outer sect elders of the White Tiger Sect, to stand on the street to eat? Don't you have any dignity at all?" After saying that, he glanced at the diners around him. Most of the diners at Ye Xiaobai's stall were standing on the street to eat, while some were taking the food home. Most of them were outer sect disciples and didn't seem to care.

"This is indeed not a good idea, but..." Ye Xiaobai couldn't find an excuse to refuse.

"But what? Besides, this elder's culinary skills are exceptional. You'll definitely benefit greatly from his guidance!" Senior Sister Li added.

"This..." Ye Xiaobai dared not offend the outer sect elders, so he could only agree to go and take a look first.

"Wait for me to let you know the specific time!" Senior Sister Li said and left.

Watching Senior Sister Li's departing figure, Ye Xiaobai couldn't help but sigh, "Sigh, there's no escaping it now!"
