Chapter 720 Why I Can't Eat 4 Seasons of Milk Tea
Why can't I get my hands on Four Seasons Milk Tea? The name alone sounds delicious.
If you eat me, what am I supposed to eat? I want to eat them all!
Stop using ancient Chinese characters, why make it sound so sophisticated?
I don't understand, but I'm already looking forward to today's new product. Milk tea is practically a must-have for leveling up and entering dungeons; every sip I take makes me feel like I'm getting tons of spiritual energy.
Shop owner, you need to be more ambitious! Hurry up and update your inventory. I'm practically ready to go home and dig out a sack of potatoes like the commenter above.
If it weren't for this sudden realization, I don't think the shop owner would have launched new products eight hundred years ago.
I don't know what the shop owner's main profession is.
Alchemists, right? Aren't all those who refine spiritual food alchemists?
Seriously, be more proactive in making money. Even buying crystal cores occasionally is fine. I've never seen a shop owner as laid-back as the owner of the "Restaurant Where a Swordsman's Career Is Risked."
It's going on sale soon, don't say I didn't warn you!
Hey, don't tell me! How am I supposed to steal it if I do?
Shangguan Linghu set an alarm and kept a close eye on the store, so she naturally didn't miss this new product launch.
After learning that the shop owner was Jiang He, everything became clear. For example, the dishes listed in the shop would also appear in the three meals.
This time, Jiang He went to Zhongzhou, while she and the other cultivators stayed in Yangzhou. Shangguan Linghu could probably guess Jiang He's reason for going to the new place; it was simply that their Xiaoyao Sect was short of money.
As one of the first cultivators to join the Xiaoyao Sect after its re-recruitment, Jiang He entrusted Shangguan Linghu with a portion of the management authority.
The management team is aware of this. Shangguan Linghu can't afford to let a single penny slip through his fingers; he's living a very frugal life, and he's even had the money to finish building the remaining canteens several times.
Of course, the accounts here are public funds.
Therefore, Shangguan Linghu immediately guessed Jiang He's purpose when she saw the new product preview released by Jiang He.
Driven by the new product, Shangguan Linghu quickly staked out the store, grabbing a few for herself, and then also for Zhong Liyu, Hua Xi, and Huang Mingshi.
Each person is limited to two cups of milk tea. After Shangguan Linghu sold out, they found there was still stock left. A second later, all the new products were sold out, which suggests that there was a lot of stock available this time.
Shangguan Linghu clicked into the sales volume section and took a look. Since the opening of "The Restaurant That Risks a Sword Cultivation Career", the milk tea was the best-selling dish among the newest additions.
The Crispy Crème Brûlée Milk Puff and the Delicious Puff Milk Tea have both achieved an astonishing sales volume of over 2,800 cups.
Each type of milk tea sells around 2,000 cups, and there are ten types in total, which is 20,000 cups in total.
It's clear that Jiang He is really short of money.
After the milk tea order is placed, the warehouse automatically begins shipping the product via the Imperial Transport Chain.
Hua Xi was somewhat surprised when she received the milk tea:
"I don't like drinking."
"Drink it, drink it, it's delicious."
Shangguan Linghu had a good grasp of Hua Xi's personality. She was an arrogant young lady who loved to say one thing but mean another, and she understood that.
Previously, Hua Xi, Shangguan Linghu, and Huang Mingshi had established a deep revolutionary friendship while fighting against online trolls.
Hua Xi found it hard to refuse the gifts Shangguan Linghu gave her, so she reluctantly accepted them.
With Shangguan Linghu watching from the side, Hua Xi felt a little embarrassed and took a small sip.
The smooth, silky liquid entered her mouth, accompanied by soft, bouncy pearls, and Hua Xi instinctively bit down.
As the chewy pearls slid down her throat with the tea, a hint of amazement flashed in Hua Xi's eyes.
The second sip was of smooth crème brûlée, with a subtle milky aroma. Hua Xi took a sip of milk tea, then a few more, her beautiful amber eyes filled with satisfaction.
"Hehe, it's delicious, isn't it?" Shangguan Linghu took a sip. The new product was amazing, with rich layers of flavor. Whether it was because she was fickle or just looking for something new, Shangguan Linghu liked it immediately.
A blush crept across Hua Xi's cheeks. She covered her lips with her hand, coughed lightly twice, and then nodded.
"Ah."
"A divine product! No wonder it's called Crème Brûlée Crispy Milk Puff!"
The creamy milk puffs paired with crunchy nuts were a delight to Shangguan Linghu, who was completely captivated by Jiang He's charm.
I can't live without milk tea and other spiritual foods.

Wanqi Jingyan looked at the mess and was suddenly speechless.
The Rui family were bandits two thousand years ago, and they are still bandits two thousand years later.
Wanqi Jingyan felt ashamed for the Rui family after they robbed the same person twice.
"There's no need to inform the Rui family about the newly discovered spirit stone mine on Star F. If they're sensible, that's fine. Each family has a share of the spirit stone mine. Since the Rui family is so determined, let's give their share to the Xiaoyao Sect."
"But the Free and Unfettered Sect is useless to us and we can't borrow their strength."
"Let's not talk about that now. The Free and Unfettered Sect has won the competition, and our empire should do something to show our appreciation."
The two officials spoke in turn.
The former's family has close ties with the Heavenly Rank families, while the latter is a member of the royal family.
Wanqi Jingyan ignored both of their opinions and sighed slowly.
Connecting with the spirit stone mine is probably not enough.
Wanqi Jingyan gazed at the letter that had been delivered.
It was a debt that the ancestor owed to Yu Cui many years ago.
Not a lot.
There was no amount listed on the IOU; Yu Cui made it clear that she wanted land from their empire.
Wanqi Jingyan was truly in a bind this time.
The national treasury is already empty. If Yu Cui wants money, he can just scrape together what he needs and give it to her.
But what she wanted was land, and land in the center of each state.
Wanqi Jingyan pondered carefully. A minor punishment would suffice to deter the Rui family, but the matter concerning the Xiaoyao Sect could not be taken lightly.
-
Jiang He made a copy of the IOU and sent it to Wan Qijingyan.
The thought that their Xiaoyao Sect would gain even more land made Jiang He very happy.
The spirit soil was taken out of the space. The original soil of this place still had radiation, but it was not harmful to humans. After all, every interstellar citizen was injected with radiation-proof gene needles from birth.
Gene injections are free. After each birth, a person's genes are altered by the injection, making them resistant to a certain amount of radiation.
The radiation on the soil gradually decreases over time, but it is deadly to plants. To lay down the spirit soil, you have to dig out at least a dozen meters of soil and then replace it with spirit soil.
However, Jiang He didn't have that much spiritual soil, so she had a better way to deal with the radiation: purification.
Soil purification involves a complex process, and the technology used cannot guarantee the complete removal of radiation.
But for Jiang He, radiation is not a problem. With the Light Spirit Root, she can purify ghost energy and demonic energy, and naturally she can also purify the land and remove radiation.
Otherwise, with such a large area of spiritual soil as Xiaoyao Mountain, she and the sect cultivators would have to dig through the entire secret realm, which would take a lot of time just to dig. They wouldn't have time to look for clues in the secret realm.
Jiang He used her spiritual root to thoroughly purify the soil before covering it with spiritual soil.
The five men were used to working and were quick and efficient.
After some of the experimental fields were cultivated and planted, Jin Dazhu and Da Dao Da Jian also arrived at the site.
