After transmigrating, I cultivated immortality by smelling the scent.

Chapter 26 Successfully Achieved Cooperation

The next day.

Early in the morning, Ye Xiaobai did not go directly to Xiaoyao Restaurant, but went to a place he had been looking forward to for a long time - Xian Shang Xian.

Back when Ye Xiaobai was still selling Qiankun Fried Rice at a stall, he had heard of Xian Shang Xian, and their manager, Zhou Fuhai, had even invited him.

Ye Xiaobai was in an exceptionally good mood, having been saying he wanted to come to Fresh on Fresh for so long.

Upon arriving at the entrance of Xian Shang Xian, one immediately sees a plaque made of sandalwood hanging above the main gate, bearing the words "Xian Shang Xian" in vigorous and powerful calligraphy, exuding a dignified and magnificent air.

As soon as I entered, someone greeted me: "What would you like to eat, sir?"

Ye Xiaobai had never been here before and was quite bewildered, but the waiter was quick-witted: "Sir, this way please, I'll get you the menu."

Soon, the waiter led Ye Xiaobai to an empty table. A moment later, he brought the menu and let Ye Xiaobai order.

Ye Xiaobai glanced at the menu, thought for a moment, and said, "One order of Mu Shu Pork and one order of Stir-fried Pork Kidney!"

"Okay, almost done!" The waiter confirmed and left quickly.

……

the other side.

Inside a lavishly decorated room.

A servant rushed in and shouted, "Manager Zhou, Ye Xiaobai from Xiaoyao Restaurant is here!"

"Ye Xiaobai is here? He's looking for me?" Zhou Fuhai was a little surprised.

“No, he just came to eat,” the servant replied immediately.

"Understood, let's go down."

"Yes!"

Zhou Fuhai had already heard about Ye Xiaobai's meeting with the Qian family. Although he didn't know what their plans were, there was no harm in getting in touch.

Zhou Fuhai was also afraid that Ye Xiaobai would cause trouble again. Since Ye Xiaobai had come to Xian Shang Xian, Zhou Fuhai, as the manager, naturally had to go and meet him.

After making his decision, Zhou Fuhai went downstairs to where Ye Xiaobai was.

……

After the waiter left, Ye Xiaobai looked up to observe the interior of Fresh on Fresh.

The main building of the restaurant is constructed with precious wood, and the beams and pillars are intricately carved with rich patterns, including auspicious beasts and clouds, as well as landscapes and figures, all lifelike.

"It's really big and beautiful," Ye Xiaobai couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

As Ye Xiaobai was looking around, Zhou Fuhai came up to her and said with a smile, "How is it? Pretty, right?"

Ye Xiaobai was initially taken aback, but then calmly said, "Beautiful! A restaurant with such exquisite interior design is truly enviable!"

"Do you like it?" Zhou Fuhai then asked.

"Of course I like it!" Ye Xiaobai replied without hesitation.

"Do you regret not accepting my invitation back then?"

"That's not true."

"You've got personality, kid, but I quite like it."

As they were chatting, the waiter brought over the dishes Ye Xiaobai had ordered. Seeing Zhou Fuhai there, he immediately greeted him, "Hello, manager!"

Zhou Fuhai waved his hand and said, "You go about your business, don't worry about me."

"Alright, boss," the waiter said, then set out the food and went to his room.

Zhou Fuhai looked at the food on the table and said enthusiastically, "Try the cooking of our chef, Fresh on Fresh."

"Then I won't be polite." After saying that, Ye Xiaobai began to savor the fresh and delicious food.

"Ok?"

This dish of Mu Shu Pork is tender and juicy, with fragrant eggs and crisp vegetables. The overall color is appealing, and the savory flavor is just right, leaving a lingering aftertaste.

The pork kidneys have a smooth and tender texture, without any fishy smell. They are elastic but not tough, and have a rich and delicious flavor.

Ye Xiaobai couldn't help but marvel at how incredibly fresh the food was; every dish was exceptionally delicious and flavorful, truly an eye-opener.

"Truly the freshest of the freshest, truly admirable," Ye Xiaobai praised Zhou Fuhai.

"So? Are you interested in joining Fresh on Fresh now?" Zhou Fuhai asked with a smile.

"No, I've already joined Xiaoyao Restaurant."

"You kid, never mind, it's nothing, I'll be going now, you can eat slowly." Zhou Fuhai realized that inviting Ye Xiaobai was definitely out of the question, so he had no choice but to give up.

As for the matter between Xiaoyao Restaurant and the Qian family, Ye Xiaobai didn't say anything, and Zhou Fuhai didn't want to get involved either.

Watching Zhou Fuhai's departing figure, Ye Xiaobai didn't say anything more, but instead buried herself in enjoying the delicious food.

After finishing his meal, Ye Xiaobai left Xian Shang Xian and headed to Xiaoyao Restaurant.

When Ye Xiaobai arrived at Xiaoyao Restaurant, it was naturally a little later than usual.

Li Minghan asked curiously, "Xiao Bai, why are you late today? What happened?"

"I went to Fresh on Fresh."

"What are you doing there? Talking about a collaboration with the Zhou family?"

"Some people might think that way, but it's just an illusion. I went and tried the delicious food at Fresh on Fresh."

"You mean the Qian family?"

"Exactly."

……

Qian family.

Last night, Qian Baiwan discussed the cooperation with Xian Shang Xian with the Qian family patriarch. After discussion among the family elders, they decided to first put Xiaoyao Restaurant on hold and then try to negotiate a lower price.

Unexpectedly, the next day they received news that Ye Xiaobai had gone to Xian Shang Xian, and that Ye Xiaobai had also met Zhou Fuhai.

The Qian family couldn't wait any longer; if they waited any longer, the cooked duck would fly away. They didn't want to lower the price anymore and were going to sign a contract with Xiaoyao Restaurant immediately to avoid any unforeseen changes.

That afternoon, Qian Baiwan hurriedly went to Xiaoyao Restaurant to complete the signing.

Ye Xiaobai and Li Minghan couldn't stop smiling.

"Elder Qian, it's a pleasure to cooperate! You'll definitely be glad you made this decision soon!" Ye Xiaobai made grand promises.

"I hope so." Qian Baiwan, however, was not entirely confident about the future development.

With the strong support of the Qian family, the franchise chain quickly attracted franchisees who were also related to the four major families and were interested in the restaurant business.

In addition to the Xiaoyao Restaurant flagship store, the initial plan to open three more franchise stores in Fangshi was quickly completed.

After all, the market area is only so big. If too many shops open, they will compete with each other and no one will be able to do good business.

Excluding the franchise fee and the subsequent profit sharing from the franchise stores, Ye Xiaobai still earned 9000 spirit stones, which was enough for him to cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refining and enter the inner sect of the sect.

As the culinary skills of chefs like Sun Tiexin continued to improve, Ye Xiaobai was finally freed from the kitchen.

After discussing with Li Minghan, Ye Xiaobai only needed to occasionally train the chefs at Xiaoyao Restaurant, instead of going there every day. This would also reduce Ye Xiaobai's share of the profits. Ye Xiaobai had no objection to this, since his current focus was on improving his cultivation. He could accept losing a few spirit stones to gain more time.

With this, Ye Xiaobai finally had enough time to cultivate, and he was also temporarily not short of spirit stones.

Ye Xiaobai originally wanted to exchange for an offensive cultivation technique through the sect, but now that he had spirit stones, he directly spent a thousand spirit stones in the market to buy a Xuan-level cultivation technique—the Taixu Wuji Sword.

After all, according to Ye Xiaobai's understanding, the main levels of cultivation techniques in the cultivation world are Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow. Heaven-level techniques are extremely rare; the entire White Tiger Sect might not even possess a few.

The cultivation techniques practiced by Qi Refining disciples are generally at the initial Yellow level.

In the days that followed, Ye Xiaobai spent most of his time cultivating, only occasionally going to the Xiaoyao Restaurant to give pointers on cooking. He lived a carefree life.
