Chapter 326: Three Visits to the Barbecue Restaurant
(TL Note: We’ve reached 75 5-stars on NU so here are the 5 chapters as promised, apologies that they were a little late. I didn’t notice. )
“Is this the barbecue restaurant in Yanjiang County that’s known for boosting virility?”
“That’s right, hurry up and get in line. We thought we came early, but it looks like we still have to wait!”
“This place closed down three months ago and has just reopened. The business is even better than before. I came here during the Spring Festival, and the taste was quite good!”
“So, the whole shop went out for training and has come back with great results?”
“That seems to be the case.”
“I wonder if we can get a seat today. I heard some people waited in line for several days without getting in.”
...
“What a booming business!” Petrified Bone stood in front of the barbecue restaurant, feeling the heat of the business much more acutely than when he observed from upstairs before.
The Nine Nether Sect had many businesses, but none had the exaggerated customer flow of this one.
The line started from the entrance and extended to the door of the neighboring shop, directly blocking the neighbor’s entrance.
The neighboring shop wasn’t angry; those waiting in line would come in to eat out of impatience, making their business even better than before.
Huo Huashen said through a sound transmission: “I heard that this shop used to have delivery services, but now the dine-in business is so overwhelming that they’ve stopped offering it.”
“Originally, Zhou Shan and I wanted to taste the food ourselves, but we couldn’t get in line. We had to ask the customers who had eaten there.”
Petrified Bone snorted coldly and headed straight into the shop: “Have you forgotten who you are? Do we still need to queue?”
Two Spirit Transformation Stages and one Unity Stage could establish a second-tier sect. Even a first-tier sect would have to respectfully invite them in.
A mere barbecue restaurant, it’s not like it’s the headquarters of the Heavenly Court Sect.
“Someone is cutting in line!”
“Hey, don’t you three know how to behave?”
“How rude!”
Those in line cursed as they saw the three walking in, but Petrified Bone and his companions ignored them. At this moment, a graceful figure blocked their way.
“Stop! Don’t you know you need to queue?” Qin Yanyan stood at the entrance, her eyes blazing with anger. Everyone else was lining up, so why couldn’t they follow the rules?
Qin Yanyan did not recognize the three. At that time, Huo Huashen had been hiding in the shadows, and only Lu Yang had detected his presence.
“Your barbecue restaurant has been open for over half a month now, but unfortunately, no criminals have come to turn themselves in. It would be great if some clueless person or, better yet, a member of a demonic cult came here. That would solidify my position as chief constable.”
Chief Constable Wei realized he had misspoken and shook his head with a smile: “Listen to me, talking like I’m cursing your place to have demonic cult members.”
At this moment, Chief Constable Wei noticed Petrified Bone and his companions at the door and curiously asked: “Are those three people at the door your friends?”
“Where?” Lu Yang turned his head, but Petrified Bone and his companions had already vanished.
“No one there?”
“Maybe just passersby.”
...
“What a show from the Heavenly Court Sect, chatting and laughing with the Righteous Path, even with the chief constable who wants to capture members of the demonic cult. Are they demonstrating their methods to us?” Petrified Bone, having dealt with government officials many times, knew that a chief constable at this level would have a token. If they encountered an enemy they couldn’t handle, they could crush the token, and a powerful cultivator would come to their aid.
“Sir, what should we do?”
“Queue again tonight!”
...
“We’ve been staking out here for over half a month. Why haven’t the people from the Nine Nether Sect come yet?” Meng Jingzhou wondered. He thought the Nine Nether Sect people should have arrived by now.
“Niece, you stand guard at the door every day. Have you seen anyone who looks like they’re from the Nine Nether Sect?”
Qin Yanyan innocently shook her head. Occasionally, there were a few unreasonable people trying to barge in, but after a few words from her, they obediently went to the back of the line. The Nine Nether Sect shouldn’t be so well-behaved.
Lu Yang was puzzled too. He had made up the Heavenly Court Sect. Anyone with knowledge of ancient times should believe it. He thought there must be such people in the Nine Nether Sect.
Since they believed in the Heavenly Court Sect, they should send someone over.
“Let’s wait a bit longer.”
...
In the evening, Petrified Bone and his companions, having learned their lesson, came to queue early. This time, they were lucky, with only about twenty people ahead of them.
After waiting half a day, it was finally their turn.
“Three pounds of lamb skewers!”
