Chapter 118 Upgrades and Special Arms

Writing down everything he thought of on paper, Yan Xu decided to complete two tasks in the next year.

The first is to unify the secondary island as soon as possible and complete the promotion of faith in order to obtain stable luck points and incense.

The second is to find a more systematic way of extraordinary practice in the late Qing world and determine the direction of practice.

Although Yang Zhenze is good, he is only proficient in boxing and medical skills. He is okay in laying the foundation, but he is a little lacking in further skills. After all, he has not even mastered the Dan Jin, while Yan Xu has already stepped into the extraordinary realm.

After writing a lot of things, Yan Xu made a preliminary plan for the future development, and then burned the filled papers.

Of course, I will definitely forget a lot of details after burning it, but it doesn’t matter. Nothing is constant, including plans.

During the three days that Yan Xu was resting, Bao Ming had already made several new dishes using the dry goods that were sent to him. Now they were waiting for him to taste them. If they were suitable, they would be added to the menu.

Yan Xu, who has already tasted the benefits of personal connections, is very interested in the private restaurant and comes here specifically to taste its food.

"Buddha jumped over the wall."

"Shark fin with abalone sauce and rice."

“Ginseng and shark’s fin hotpot.”

“Dendrobium and fish maw stewed with lean meat.”

“Sea cucumber in golden soup.”

Yan Xu slowly tasted the authentic ingredients and masterpieces of modern cooking. It had to be said that this was a critical hit to his taste buds and his mood became more and more cheerful.

"Yes, these can be added to the courtyard menu of the private restaurant." Yan Xu wiped his mouth and said.

"Okay, boss." Bao Ming smiled happily after being recognized, and he seemed to be more and more confident.

"In addition, the porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, including tableware that I brought with me are all antiques and are also placed in the small courtyard and managed by Ye Mei." Yan Xu continued. Ye Mei smiled and nodded when she heard this, then glanced at Bao Ming, who suddenly looked three inches shorter.

As the private restaurant became more and more famous and attracted more and more customers, Yan Xu specially divided it into two parts.

The original large courtyard was open to the public as usual, but the chef was invited from the city, not Bao Ming.

Behind the big courtyard is a small courtyard that Yan Xu quietly bought, which after renovation has four private rooms.

Although there are not many private rooms, the carefully designed corridors and scenery ensure that the four private rooms have independent spaces, without interfering with each other or seeing each other, thus ensuring the privacy of each guest to the greatest extent possible.

After all, when you come here to eat, delicious food is just a by-product. There are more important things that are not convenient for too many people to know, so privacy is also a key point.

Therefore, although the consumption in the big courtyard is not low, anyone can come. If the status of the small courtyard is not high enough, it would rather be empty and not receive guests, just to create such a high-end place.

This has invisibly raised the threshold and has become a privilege for a certain small circle.

This is not enough. In order to satisfy the guests who come here, in addition to good chefs, high-end ingredients are also indispensable. For this reason, Bao Ming took great pains to create a small courtyard menu.

He was a little worried before. Although the ginseng and wolfberry chicken soup is good, people will get tired of it. Now with these dry goods, he is confident that he can satisfy even the most discerning customers.

"These are some old recipes I found. You can take a look at them and learn more." Yan Xu handed the collected recipes to Bao Ming who was busy wiping his hands.

Good ingredients are not enough, so Yan Xu specially asked his master to collect some recipes in the late Qing Dynasty, including the Northeastern cuisine, which is known as the criminal law menu. Northeastern cuisine is not just stew and soybean paste, which was also popular in the past until the Wildlife Protection Law came into being.

The main reason is that the ingredients of Northeastern cuisine are so well selected. If you take a look at the Northeastern menu of that time, it’s not a menu at all, it’s clearly the criminal law, and the part behind it is not a price, but a sentence.

It is only the early 2000s, and management in all aspects is not as strict as it is later. For example, the last time Yan Xu went to Chen Deli's store, wow, there were pangolins, civets, and cobras, but there were even dolphins, which really opened his eyes.

But since he could make money steadily, there was no need to challenge himself and make things more difficult. Anyway, he could make a lot of money doing anything with his cost, so Yan Xu didn't touch those sensitive things.

Then Yan Xu went to the hardware factory and the wood furniture factory. The two factories were in the same place, which made management easier.

After completing the orders obtained through personal connections, the hardware factory became half-dead again and could only focus on anti-theft doors and windows.

As stores in counties and cities opened up, business was getting better and better, and this product was about to become the mainstay product of the hardware factory.

But Yan Xu knew the severity of piracy. There were already many similar products, so the huge profits would not last long.

This gave him a headache, and he could only look to Chen Deli to see if he had any connections to help introduce some equipment and technology to upgrade the hardware factory.

Now the purpose of the hardware factory's existence is no longer as simple as making profits, so Yan Xu would rather spend money to upgrade, not to mention that this will also gain more support from the town.

The wood furniture factory has developed quite well. Thanks to the cheap and high-quality wood, its products are very popular. The store was originally set up just to sell anti-theft doors and windows, but now its main product is furniture.

After reporting some problems with the close-fitting armor, Yan Xu asked Master Jiang and his team to make a better one.

Ignoring a group of people scratching their heads, Yan Xu leisurely went to the supermarket and the gold shop for a stroll.

Modern industries have already entered the right track and do not require too much interference. After a brief understanding, Yan Xu went to the Japanese world, which will be his focus for some time to come.

During the month that Yan Xu was away, Fu Island was very peaceful. The families had no intention of going to war and were all busy farming.

This is mainly because all parties have suffered heavy losses before, and it would be impossible to recover without three to five years of rest, so there is no rush to start a war.

Another reason is that the balance has not been broken, and whoever starts a war first will undoubtedly become the target of public criticism.

The balance of the secondary island was deliberately created by Yan Xu before, but now it is no longer in his interest, so he will break it with his own hands. It has to be said that things in the world are unpredictable.

There is no way. The appearance of the Golden Finger Incense Shinto has made the importance of the Japanese world rise sharply. As long as Yan Xu wants to go further, he cannot give up.

Now the unification of Fushi Island has been put on the agenda, and it is just waiting for him to implement it.

But before that, Yan Xu plans to strengthen his trump card first, and at the same time, explode the wave soldiers to increase his chances of winning.

After opening the system and seeing the accumulated luck points, Yan Xu was slightly dissatisfied. As expected, luck points would come slowly if he didn't start a war or cause any trouble. You know, he now needs to spend one hundred luck points every day to stay here.

"Looks like we need to speed up." Although he felt bad, Yan Xu still prepared to upgrade the system.

In the past, he was very indifferent, but he didn't see the real benefits. Now that he has them, Yan Xu chose to use most of his luck points to upgrade without hesitation.

After upgrading from intermediate to advanced level, Yan Xu was surprised to find that he could recruit two special types of soldiers, Onmyoji and Miko, and also unlocked more functions. Obviously, the advanced system is the complete cheat code, but the consumption of luck points and gold is also high, which makes him love and hate it.
