He glanced at Lu Yang, then at Meng Jingzhou, and slowly asked: “Did you guys come up with those names?”

Lu Yang nodded: “I came up with ‘Second Round BBQshop’.”

Meng Jingzhou also nodded: “I came up with ‘Thank You for Your Patronage BBQShop’.”

Man Gu thought the name Sheep Sheep Sheep BBQShop he came up with was rather ordinary.

Man Gu was the first one to open up a shop named after Lu Yang, according to the rules, the barbecue shop is now called “Second Round.”

“By the way, do any of you know how to conceal your energy?” Lu Yang asked. While on the streets, Lu Yang noticed the breathing patterns of many people, their different affinities towards spiritual energy suggested they were cultivators, but he couldn’t determine their cultivation level when he scanned them with his spiritual sense.

One or two people having higher cultivation levels than himself was reasonable, but everyone having a higher cultivation level was clearly impossible.

Yanjiang County is different from Taiping Village. There are many cultivators, but not so many that everyone has reached the Foundation Establishment Stage.

After a bit of thought, Lu Yang understood that the level of a cultivator’s cultivation determines their status. To wander the martial world without being bullied, you either need to have exceptional cultivation or be able to hide your cultivation level, so as not to make others act rashly.

For them to go out without concealing anything was like telling everyone that they were novices.

If they wanted to infiltrate a demonic sect, they had to pose as experienced martial artists.

“I have one, it’s something we used when hunting back home.” Man Gu pulled out a rolled-up sheepskin scroll from his bosom.

“The animals in the wilderness are very cunning, they run away at the slightest rustle of leaves. To be successful in hunting, you must hide your presence and lay in ambush in advance.”

The barbarian tribe that Man Gu belonged to was a large tribe in the wilderness, and Man Gu had the highest bloodline status in the tribe.

Not only the Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment Stages tribesmen of the barbarian tribe go hunting, even those in the Golden Core Stage who could fast went out hunting.

For the barbarian tribe, the game was not just for satisfying their appetite, but also provided them with heaven and earth treasures.

“However, you can’t move while using my scroll. If you move, the effect will be ruined.”

The bigger the restriction, the greater the effect. When it comes to the ability to hide, the concealment effect recorded on the sheepskin scroll can rank in the top three.

“1 have a common concealment spell here. Only those who are one rank higher than you can see your cultivation level.” Meng Jingzhou took out a bamboo scroll from an amulet around his neck. Despite its age, it still gave off a faint bamboo fragrance.

The quality of the bamboo could tell how extraordinary the magic spell recorded on the bamboo scroll was.

There were many magic skills and divine abilities stored in Meng Jingzhou’s amulet, which he brought from home. There were so many that he hadn’t had time to learn them all.

Lu Yang looked at Meng Jingzhou strangely: “Weren’t you a runaway? How did you get all these good things?”

“My sister sneaked them to me.”

“Alright.”

The trio began to study the concealment spells. They were all gifted individuals, and to them, this little spell was easy to master. They pretty much had it down in a little over half an hour, with practice being the only thing left to do afterwards.

With hands clasped in a martial salute, Lu Yang was deeply grateful: “Once I learn new spells, I will certainly teach you guys!”

Despite the casual manner in which Man Gu and Meng Jingzhou brought it up even if they didn’t mention it, Lu Yang knew that these two concealment spells were incredibly rare. The trust the two of them had towards him was clearly seen.

Meng Jingzhou let out a hearty laugh and told Lu Yang not to worry about it. Man Gu also said something similar.

“Huh, didn’t this used to be a tea house? Now it’s changed into a barbecue shop?” Under the evening sky, two travelling martial artists discovered that the original tea house was gone, replaced by a BBQshop with an interesting name. Second Round BBQShop, such a savory smell.”

Travelling martial artist A sniffed, the fragrance of the barbecue hit his nostrils, it was irresistible, it made drool run from his mouth.

“Should we eat here?”

“Let’s go, let’s go in.”

Agreeing in an instant, the two men entered the barbecue shop.

As soon as they entered the shop, they were blown away by the bustling atmosphere. Guests were enthusiastically eating, drinking merrily, and having a good time. The noise was loud enough to rock the roof. A muscular man was running in and out with skewers in hand, presumably a waiter of the restaurant.

Such a robust waiter, is he there to prevent customers from dining and dashing?

“How did a new shop become so popular?”

The two men were a bit excited, a shop so popular must have a reason for it, they must try it out.

The two men were lucky, there was only one vacant table left.

They settled down at the table, and another waiter named Lu Yang took out a small notebook, his face wearing the standard smile of someone in the service industry: “Hello, what can I get for you today?”

“Two jugs of wine, a plate of boiled peanuts, thirty mutton skewers, thirty beef skewers, two portions of roasted potatoes… all medium spicy, we can’t eat too spicy food.”

As Lu Yang was jotting this down, he transmitted a message to Man Gu: “Could you maybe adjust your recipe? The barbecue is too delicious, it attracts so many people, how are we supposed to keep an eye on Qin Yuanhao?”

Lu Yang had not expected that Man Gu’s secret recipe would be so effective. On the first night there were several customers, on the second day there were several tables, on the third day the tables were filled up, and now it was the fourth day. After the two martial artists took the last table, people were queuing outside.

Lu Yang was worried that by the fifth day, there would be people trying to reserve tables or share tables with others. By the thirtieth day, they could open a chain store in the neighboring county. One year later, they could open two hundred chain stores in the northern part of the Central Continent. Three years later, they would become popular all over the Central Continent. Five years later, they would be listed on the stock market… if there was such a concept here.

Was there a problem with Man Gu’s recipe? He didn’t add any banned substances to the sauce, did he?

That was a joke. Both Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou had tasted the food Man Gu grilled, it didn’t contain any banned substances, it was indeed delicious. However, they hadn’t expected it to attract so many people.

Later, Lu Yang realized that he had become accustomed to fine food at Sky Gate Mountain, so his taste buds were sophisticated. If Man Gu’s barbecue recipe was capable making him, who was used to fine dining, say that it was delicious, it truly had something unique.

In short, they absolutely could not let the shop become any more popular.

“It seems quite busy downstairs, do you need my help?” Meng Jingzhou’s lazy voice rang in their ears.

Right now, Meng Jingzhou was the only one on the second floor keeping an eye on Qin Yuanhao.

“You just stay on the second floor and watch Qin Yuanhao, don’t come down and make trouble!” Lu Yang warned, there was more to Meng Jingzhou coming downstairs than just being a waiter.

Based on his understanding of Meng Jingzhou, the man could crack jokes even while serving food, delivering a stand-up comedy show in the process.

Meng Jingzhou yawned widely, making one feel drowsy: “But it’s really boring up there on the second floor. Qin Yuanhao has absolutely no intention of leaving his house these last four days. All he does is meditate, with absolutely no entertainment or life.”

“I think it would be better if we disguised ourselves as wandering performers. I can perform a stand-up comedy at Qin Yuanhao’s house, you can perform a jar-lifting act, while Man Gu can take advantage of the distraction to install an Eavesdropping Talisman or something.”

Neither Lu Yang nor Man Gu paid any attention to Meng Jingzhou.

The best way to deal with incessant talkers was to ignore them.

Seeing that no one was paying him any attention, Meng Jingzhou had to change the subject: “Man Gu, are you sure you don’t want to make the skewers taste worse?”

Man Gu had his own conviction: “Our family has been a barbecue family for eighteen generations, all of whom knew how to barbecue.. I can’t tarnish the reputation of the barbecue barbarian tribe!”
