After the opening hours, Luo Ruo and Ning Yichen returned to the backyard and went into the kitchen. Then, Manager Gao asked him.
"Store Manager Mo, how should I address these two?"
Gao Zhan squinted his eyes and smiled.
"Uh, the one in the green dress is an employee called Luo Ruo, and the one in the white dress is also an employee called Ning Hanyue."
Mo Tiankong explained. Since they were going to eat together later, it was necessary to introduce them.
"They're both employees, so they're in a favorable position."
Manager Gao said softly while stroking his mustache.
What favorable position? Since when was he in a favorable position? Manager Gao was too gossipy, the key was his divergent thinking.
"Manager Gao, these two are indeed employees of the store."
Mo Tiankong explained again.
"I know, I know. Then you need to work hard."
Gao Zhan patted Mo Tiankong's shoulder and said.
Wait, what was this old man thinking? Why was he thinking so much? Why was he adding fuel to the fire?
"Manager Gao, the reason why these two are in the kitchen is because I wanted employees who knew how to cook, so …"
Mo Tiankong explained patiently.
"Oh, oh, you don't need to explain. Do you think this old man doesn't understand?"
Gao Zhan waved his hand and said as if he was an experienced person.
Who's the same as you? When he was in the Gao family, it seemed that this old man had several wives.
Although because of his cultivation, it was not a big deal, but he was definitely not serious.
Speaking of which, this world was not monogamous, so it was reasonable for him to have several wives.
Zhang Yun's family was too powerful, so she only had one wife. But look at Tang Shen, who knows how many wives he had. Anyway, it was not a small number.
But most of them were not to his liking, so he only had two sons, Fatty Tang and Tang Lin. The rest were all daughters.
Mo Tiankong felt a little sad when he saw the tall old man's nonchalant expression. You don't care, but I do. It would be awkward if the tall old man said something shocking at the dinner table.
Although Luo Ruo and her daughter were indeed not bad, Luo Ruo was still too young. Mo Tiankong only treated her as a neighbor's little sister. His appetite was not that heavy. As for Ning Hanyue, she had already thought of the name of her first child at first sight. After chatting for a while, she had also thought of the name of her second child.
The problem was that Mo Tiankong was a novice when it came to relationships. Firstly, he was shy when it came to such matters. Secondly, he did not know what to do. There was no senior to teach him either.
Besides, Ning Hanyue had an engagement before. Although she ran away from the engagement and came to the shop, what if she was just testing her? Or maybe she didn't want to get married so early? Or maybe there were other reasons.
In short, there were many reasons. Mo Tiankong could only let nature take its course. As for opening his mouth, it would be difficult for him to do so.
He could only let nature take its course. Mo Tiankong did not have any strong feelings right now. After all, who wouldn't like a beautiful girl? If it was a man, he would also like her.
Of course, his body was against it. But the brain was still the master, so it suppressed the body's objections.
Tonight, Luo Ruo was going to make seafood. Xiu Mi Empire was an inland empire, so seafood was definitely scarce. So he asked Luo Ruo to make more seafood.
The ingredients were all ordinary ones. The reason why Mo Tiankong was so confident was because of the kitchen utensils and the all-purpose seasoning box. These were the main points.
As for the precious ingredients that Gao Zhan brought over, Mo Tiankong did not touch them. Since Gao Zhan could take them out as gifts, he must have eaten them. So there was no need to make more. It was better to make some local specialties.
Just like demon beast meat, there was still a lot to eat, so there was no need to make too much. There was still some left over from the demon beast meat that he hunted on Sky Island. It was enough to make a few dishes.
These precious ingredients would be left for him to slowly enjoy in the future. After all, he might not be able to collect them. Where would he go to collect them from?
Moreover, ingredients such as rainforest bamboo shoots were a tribute from the imperial family. Even if he had spirit stones, he might not be able to buy them. Also, it would take too much time.
He did not need to run a store. If he ran all over the world to collect ingredients, even the System would probably kill him.
An hour later, Luo Ruo and the other two girls came out with the dishes. Mo Tiankong saw this and did not help. After all, the old man Gao was a guest and he needed to accompany him.
Prawns, abalone, elk meat, stir-fried mushrooms, a plate of kingfish, a plate of sea oyster, and a plate of silver pomfret appeared on the round marble table.
Auspicious should be the most excited. What day did Old Mo make so many dishes today? Her two little paws grabbed the marble table and her mouth was almost drooling.
Her eyes were shining, but when she was about to eat, Ning Hanyue took her away. There were guests today. She could eat as much as she wanted in the store, but not today.
After picking up some dishes, she let go of Auspicious. Ning Hanyue was also careless. She did not know Auspicious's cultivation, but she still disciplined her.
"Old Gao, there is no wine in the store. We can only drink the Thousand Island Lake beer."
Mo Tiankong took out a box of beer and said.
"Do you two want it?"
Then he asked Ning Hanyue and the other two girls.
"No."
"No need."
The two girls immediately refused. Even if the Thousand Island Lake beer could slowly increase their spiritual power, the two girls still did not like drinking.
If it were some other female mercenaries in the Mercenary Group, they would definitely fight for it. It could only be said that they were used to it.
Some people liked it, and some didn't. What's more, the two girls drank quite a bit. When they needed to cultivate, they would drink it. When they were on vacation at the Sky Island, they would drink it.
"Hehe, the Thousand Island Lake beer is good. Today, I will make your heart ache."
Old Gao did not think that the Thousand Island Lake beer was bad. After all, it cost 500 Spiritual Stones per bottle. Whether it was the effect or the taste, it was much better than ordinary wine.
In terms of price, it was also quite expensive. Very few wines could be sold for 500 Spiritual Stones, unless it was some fine wine from the Royal Family.
But that wine was brewed with a lot of natural treasures. It was not cheap. There was a price but no market.
"It's okay. You can drink as much as you want. Try these dishes. They are all authentic seafood."
Mo Tiankong said as he poured the wine. Then he signaled Old Gao to try the dishes.
Mo Tiankong had stayed in the Gao family's house for a few days, so he knew that the food in the Gao family's house wasn't as good as the food in the store. Mo Tiankong was very confident about the food produced by the system.
He felt that it was unlikely that there would be a restaurant that would be better than the food from the store. Even the best chefs from the Royal Family's banquets would not be as good.
He had this much confidence, but the color of the dishes was not as good. After all, Luo Ruo was not a professional chef.
To be able to do this was already good enough. Anyway, Mo Tiankong was a taste buff, so it was fine as long as the appearance was average.
"This taste is amazing. Store Manager Mo's food is also amazing."
Gao Zhan said as he ate. The speed at which he picked up the food became even faster, causing Ji Xiang to become restless.
"I don't boast."
Mo Tiankong said proudly. Even Luo Ruo, who didn't want to take advantage of the restaurant, didn't mention it after eating dinner in the restaurant for the first time.
The spices from the Universal Condiment Box, even if they were the ones Luo Ruo was used to, the taste was still very different.
The quality was always the same, and the spices were all of the best quality. The taste was also very good.
Luo Ruo did not say anything and continued to eat quietly. Ning Hanyue rolled her eyes. She had been in the kitchen with Luo Ruo every day, so she more or less knew about the spices.
"Let's have a drink."
Mo Tiankong raised his glass and said.
"Yes."
"Okay."
Gao Zhan chewed a mouthful of food and said vaguely. Then he also raised his glass.
The meal didn't last long, and Gao Zhan didn't get drunk. After all, they were in someone else's house, so he had to be vigilant. Although Old Gao was old, he didn't want to do anything to him.
Gao Zhan left and did not rest in the store. There were not many rooms left in the store, so they were all his own. Mo Tiankong did not have the habit of letting others sleep in his room.
However, the two had made an appointment to go out to sea together tomorrow. Gao Zhan still remembered this.
Luo Ruo had already left through the back door. Ning Hanyue also went upstairs with Auspicious to rest.
After returning to the backyard, Mo Tiankong could not wait to wash up. Although the meal did not last long, less than an hour, they drank a lot of beer from the Thousand Island Lake. The main reason was that Gao Zhan had a good alcohol tolerance.
Therefore, both of them drank a lot, two full boxes. Yes, two boxes each. Their bodies reeked of alcohol, and it was uncomfortable to smell it.
After washing up, Mo Tiankong went directly to the Starry Room to sleep. He was a bit drunk now, so he decided to rest well. What was more, he had to go out to sea with Gao Zhan tomorrow morning.
Speaking of which, the Gao Family bought the Armor-piercing Battleship and really used it as a fort. Old Man Gao said that it was placed in the Gao Family.
Rich people were more capricious. Mo Tiankong did not have a fort. Otherwise, he would have sold eight or ten of them to the Gao Family.
It was a bit of a waste to use the Armor-piercing Battleship as a fort. Although the Xiu Mi Empire was an inland empire, the Teleportation Formations of all the empires in the Eastern Xuan Domain were almost finished. It was very convenient to go out to sea.
Of course, Pine City was very close to the Wild Beast Forest, so it should not be short of resources. Its strength and foundation were much stronger than some of the new Venerable Realm forces.
The old man of the Gao Family seemed to be a high-ranked Venerable Realm or even a peak Venerable Realm expert. Moreover, when he left, the Gao Family's eldest and second eldest seemed to be in closed-door cultivation to make a breakthrough.
Just from the fact that the Gao Family could take out about 50 million Spirit Stones to buy things before he left, he could almost see their strength. Combined with Gao Zhan's age, the Gao Family should have been around for a long time.
Mo Tiankong did not think too much. He turned off the bedside lamp and went to sleep.
