I open a restaurant in the martial arts world

Chapter 37 Depressed
Of course, the reason for this situation is also Xu Yang's intention.

Judging from the performance of the past few days, Jia Bufan has shown considerable malice towards him, how stupid must Xu Yang be to not guard against the opponent?
So in the past few days, he never added ingredients from the system to the food he cooked for Jia Bufan, not even a grain of monosodium glutamate.

Of course, Xu Yang at this time has no time to pay attention to this guy who is temporarily hiding in the dark and trying to plot against him.

Because just a moment ago, the system issued a task to him.

System task: As the saying goes, if the old ones are not removed, the new ones will not come. Since the tables and stools in the store are damaged, the host is requested to replace all the tables and stools in the lobby with more beautiful and durable nanmu furniture within one month.

(Remarks: A mid-level treasure chest will be rewarded for completing the task, and [-] spicy points will be deducted from the host for failing the task.)
At this time, Xu Yang was very excited. This was the first task the system issued to him. It didn't look difficult, and the rewards were quite generous.

A primary treasure chest can produce something as heaven-defying as [Kaiqiao Pill]. Just imagine, what kind of treasure can an intermediate treasure chest produce?

Of course, the punishment for mission failure is also very heavy. Five thousand spicy points is not a small amount.

But when Xu Yang went to Carpenter Xu in the town to understand the situation, his excitement disappeared without a trace.

According to Carpenter Xu, due to the excessive logging in the past few years, some nanmu sporadically grew on the entire territory of Taiping Town, including Matou Mountain in the west.

Moreover, those nanmu trees that have not been cut down are basically grown in relatively remote and difficult places. It is very difficult to organize people to cut down these nanmu trees immediately.

More importantly, the wood used to make furniture cannot be used directly after being cut, it has to have a process of air drying.

And this drying process takes at least several months.

Xu Yang couldn't help being disappointed.

The distance is like a mountain. Before that, he didn't know that it was so difficult to make some nanmu furniture.

The deadline for the task is one month. Even if someone is sent to the mountain to cut trees now, even the day lily will be cold after the wood is dry.

"Uncle Xu, is there no dried nanmu in our town?" Xu Yang asked a little bit unwillingly.

Carpenter Xu's answer completely chilled his heart.

"Don't say that we don't have any in our town. You probably won't be able to find a piece of ready-made nanmu within a radius of several tens of miles. If there is such a good wood, it would have been made into furniture long ago."

Xu Yang walked out of Carpenter Xu's house with a depressed face.

What the hell, this time it was considered a dark loss by the system, the [-] spicy points were deducted.

As soon as he returned to the street, he happened to meet Liu Xishui.

Seeing Xu Yang's dejected look, the Taiping town resident suddenly asked in surprise, "Hey, brother Yang, what's wrong with you? Could it be that you lost your wallet?"

These days, the business of Xu's Restaurant has been booming. This kid should have earned a lot of silver taels. Why is he showing such a half-dead look today?
"Oh, Uncle Liu, don't mention it. Some of the tables and stools in my shop have just been smashed. I wanted to ask Carpenter Xu to make some nanmu furniture, but he said that there is no ready-made nanmu. This matter is in vain." Xu Yang Can't help but sigh.

Since the establishment of the system, he has earned more than 6000 spicy points by working hard. Now that the [-] spicy points are gone, he feels his heart hurts.

"You're really crazy, you just want to make some money and want to make nanmu furniture." Liu Xishui smiled and slapped Xu Yang on the head.

Immediately afterwards, he changed his voice, "But if you really want it, I know there is a place where there is still a piece of dried nanmu."

Xu Yang was overjoyed immediately, "Uncle Liu, where is it?"

It's just that Liu Xishui's answer seemed to have poured cold water on his head.

"Last year, I asked someone to cut a nanmu tree on Matou Mountain, and I put it in the small temple on the top of the mountain for almost a year. Root nanmu, I am afraid it is a bit difficult."

Hearing this, Xu Yang's face immediately collapsed.

Damn, I'm so happy.

The 52 strong men had already confirmed that two days ago, the current Matou Mountain was not something he could care about.

Coming in high spirits and returning in disappointment was what Xu Yang used to describe the Shahe gang before.

But now this sentence can just be applied to himself.

Xu Yang was depressed all night because of the [-] spicy points that were about to be confiscated by the system.

Early the next morning, Xu Yang picked up the kitchen knife and waved it in the backyard, wanting to take the opportunity to vent the depression in his heart.

After practicing a set of basic knife skills, Xu Yang's depression was finally relieved a lot.

"Pfft..." An uncontrollable laugh came from behind.

Xu Yang turned his head and saw that it was Qin Ruoyu covering his mouth and laughing.

"Boss, your saber technique is really unique." Qin Ruoyu said with a sweet smile.

Xu Yang blushed slightly and said, "Small tricks are hard to be elegant, and the girl will laugh at you."

Although the girl in front of him lives in his shop, she either stays in the room or goes out alone. Except for eating every day, Xu Yang doesn't meet her very often, and even fewer opportunities to talk alone.

Now being bumped into by her suddenly, Xu Yang was a little surprised. After all, the image of him holding a kitchen knife and practicing knife skills is indeed a bit unorthodox.

Hearing this, Qin Ruoyu was embarrassed to laugh again, she cupped her fists and arched slightly: "Sorry, this is the first time I have encountered such a unique sword technique, so I couldn't hold it back for a while, but forgive me, the Canglongmen seems to be Without this kind of saber technique, you can count it as an ancestral inheritance?"

Although she is not very old, in the past few years, Qin Ruoyu has seen a lot of the world by traveling with her father Qin Tianbao. She has also come into contact with some members of the Canglongmen, but it is the first time she has seen someone who uses a kitchen knife as a weapon.

"I practiced it by myself. I came back in a hurry this time and forgot to bring a knife. I don't have any weapons at home, so I can only make do with a kitchen knife." Xu Yang explained impressively.

The ancestors of their Xu family have never heard of any warriors, so how can there be any ancestral sword skills?
Of course, saying that he forgot to bring the knife back is purely putting gold on his face. After all, in front of beauties, one still has to show some dignity.

The predecessor of this body spent most of his time fighting in the kitchen of Canglongmen. Even if he was asked to bring a knife back, he would probably only be able to bring a kitchen knife.

Because his predecessor was just a Xibei who couldn't practice martial arts at that time, even if he was given a dragon sword, it would be useless.

"It's a pity, if you were in Xuzhou, I could lend you a knife, but I can't help you here." Qin Ruoyu said regretfully.
