My Father Is Definitely Possessed-Chapter 283 - 173: The New Grandmaster of Dao Mountain Ancient Land

Chapter 283: Chapter 173: The New Grandmaster of Dao Mountain Ancient Land

"Uh... Don’t rush, eat slowly, there’s more." Bai Linwan watched their ravenous eating and worried they might choke to death.

They wolfed down the food as if they hadn’t eaten in months.

Watching them, even Bai Linwan couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

Why does it look so delicious when they eat?

Is it really that tasty?

Maybe I should try it for dinner too?

"Shopkeeper Bai." Chen Guan, mouth full of food, mumbled, "Can I buy a portion to take away later? I want to bring some back for my junior sister to try."

"Uh." Bai Linwan hurriedly instructed someone to pack a portion to go for everyone who came.

This excited everyone; they could have it again at night, something they dreamed of during their time in the Ghostly Realm.

Such occurrences weren’t limited to No Interval City.

The same situation happened wherever an Evergreen Commerce Association opened; none of the shopkeepers expected self-heating meals to sell the best.

However, due to requirements from above, only twenty to thirty self-heating meals were made daily, so even when the disciples wanted to buy many to take back, there simply weren’t enough.

Changgu State.

At this location, the Evergreen Commerce Association was just as vibrant. Due to an early start, recent business was thriving, to the envy of other associations.

But they had no choice; despite their envy, they dared not act.

After all, the Evergreen Commerce Association was under the protection of the Iron Saber Sect.

By noon, scores of Iron Saber Sect disciples arrived at the Evergreen Commerce Association, creating a massive scene, which happened almost daily. This further discouraged other associations from causing trouble.

"Shopkeeper, give us self-heating meals."

Iron Saber Sect disciples shouted with their booming voices as they entered, each towering over nine feet, their eyes gleaming with hunger as they yearned for self-heating meals.

Seeing this, Zhao Yichuan, the president of the Changgu State Evergreen Commerce Association, couldn’t help but smile wryly, saying, "You all have been eating self-heating meals for a month now, haven’t you? Aren’t you tired of it yet?"

"Haha, it’s delicious! We never get tired of it!" the lead disciple of the Iron Saber Sect laughed heartily.

Little did they know, Li Changqing’s trick had left a deep impression of self-heating meals in their hearts.

"Alright then."

Zhao Yichuan hurriedly had someone bring up the self-heating meals.

The pricing for self-heating meals actually wasn’t cheap.

Each meal cost two silver coins, and for these dozens of disciples, it amounted to quite a few taels, enough for a big feast at a restaurant. Yet, they were obsessed with eating self-heating meals, something Zhao Yichuan couldn’t understand.

No matter how delicious, how had Iron Saber Sect’s disciples managed to eat it daily for a month?

For the Evergreen Commerce Association, self-heating meals were just a small part; the real profit came from tea orders.

Evergreen Commerce Association’s tea had become wildly popular throughout the Eastern Wilderness in these two months.

Thanks to their popular stir-fried tea, orders were absurdly high, to the point of being oversubscribed, with orders booked up to six months ahead.

The profits of these two months had brought joy to many families in Changting Town!

This income exceeded what they had earned in the past several years, and the small families in Changting Town finally gained confidence.

Due to the popularity of their tea, many-commerce associations bought the tea to study, trying to figure out Evergreen Commerce Association’s secret.

Some associations, with a bit of skill, noticed after some time that the tea had been stir-fried.

So they also followed Evergreen Commerce Association’s method and stir-fried the tea.

But when they finished frying, they found it was incomparable to Evergreen Commerce Association’s tea.

They were completely different.

The difference was significant.

They later speculated it might be due to poor control of heat, so they tried various levels of heat for frying. Unfortunately, in the end, they wasted a lot of tea but still couldn’t reproduce Evergreen Commerce Association’s tea.

It left them completely baffled.

Little did they know, Evergreen Commerce Association used their hands to fry the tea, while they used iron shovels, which removed much of the tea’s aroma, making it incomparable.

They could only watch Evergreen Commerce Association rake in money while they were helpless.

During these two months, Li Hengsheng had written to Li Changqing multiple times.

His letters mainly brought good news, telling Li Changqing he had won first place in the Ghostly Realm trials. Besides that, they included daily trivialities, reminding Li Changqing to take care of his health.

Regarding the dangers of the Ghostly Realm trials, Li Hengsheng mentioned nothing, to spare Li Changqing any worry.

And this morning, Li Changqing unexpectedly received a gift.

This gift also came from the Mountain Ancient Land.

"Mr. Changqing, your son sent another letter." Zhang Fuguang placed the letter and gift on the table.

Curious, Li Changqing opened the letter and was surprised to find out that today, the ninth day of the eighth month, was his birthday?

Li Changqing himself didn’t even know when his birthday was.

He didn’t expect Li Hengsheng to remember.

Besides blessings, the letter said this gift was particularly meaningful, granted by the sect, and he had saved it to give to Li Changqing today.
