Chapter 267 A Different Feeling
The Zhen family did not go to see the house first as she instructed, but rushed back immediately after receiving the news.
When the family entered the bamboo forest breathlessly, they saw a group of people sitting in the yard eating fish fillets.
At the long table, Ling Cang transformed into his original form and took a seat. Zi Yu sat on the left of Wei Wenxin. Gan Lu simply moved a tree stump onto the table and sat on it, just level with everyone's eyes.
Everyone was holding cutlery in their hands and eating attentively.
After scooping out a wave of food from the pot, Ling Cang moved the plate floating in the air over, flew it above the tripod, tilted it slightly, and then used his spiritual sense to control the colander to scoop up the food and divide it into everyone's bowls and plates.
Because of the busyness, even though there were only one man, one beast and two elves, they managed to create a different kind of human atmosphere.
"Meet the true king!"
The five members of the Zhen family took turns to control the flying shuttle. In order to return as quickly as possible, their spiritual power was almost exhausted at this time, and their hair was all blown back. It was obvious that they didn't even have time to spare the spiritual power to put on an aura shield halfway through the journey.
"Let's have a reunion dinner first. I have something to talk about later."
It was her master who set all the rules for her. She always appeared very friendly in front of others, but the five members of the Zhen family did not dare to cross the line.
As the head of the family, Zhen Yuandao hesitated for a while, and finally spoke: "I wonder what you want me to do? Let's finish the work first, the business is more important."
Seeing that the other four people all agreed, Wei Wenxin couldn't help but chuckle.
This was why she had spent a huge amount of money to keep them here.
This style of doing things is so suitable for her!
Knowing that this family were tough people who slept on the ground in the orchard when they worked, and always put business first, Wei Wenxin did not force them and said directly:
"I called you here to check the account books and listen to your work reports. I will be going out on a mission soon and I don't know how long I will be back. You need to make arrangements as soon as possible."
Zhen Yuandao immediately took out the account book.
The homemade bamboo paper was bound into books, and over the decades, there were enough to fill two baskets.
Wei Wenxin didn't say no, she just waved her sleeves to put it away and invited them to eat.
"Let me take a look tonight and I'll tell you the details tomorrow."
Wei Wen thought that if there was anything wrong with the account books, he could scare them severely and give them a good beating that night.
Unexpectedly, after she put away the account book, the whole family sat down at the table, placed plates on the left and right, and started to eat to their heart's content.
The few spiritual fish that Ling Cang caught before were all very high-grade spiritual fish. Zhen Yuandao, the one with the highest cultivation in the family, had just reached the great perfection of foundation building. The ones they ate were all specially caught by Zi Yu sent by Wei Wenxin.
All the profits from the peak are stored in the sect's treasury. Wei Wenxin only needs to check the accounts and then go to the treasury to check whether they are correct.
After the meal, everyone went back to their homes. Wei Wenxin did not try to keep them. He went back to his room and began to look at the account book by lamplight.
The staff on this peak are simple and each has his own responsibilities. Except for the accounts held by the five members of the Zhen family, the account books of the bamboo forest and the tea garden are separate. Wei Wenxin has to check all of them.
She did not read the books one by one, but took them out according to the date and placed them on the long table. She half-lying on the soft couch by the window drinking wine while flipping through the books with her spiritual sense.
Dozens of account books were put together and flipped through. After flipping through them once, they were flipped through twice. After flipping through them three times, another batch was changed.
With such high efficiency, the accounts were settled in just half an hour.
After finishing the calculation, he sent a sound transmission note to the treasury. After verifying that everything was correct, Wei Wenxin couldn't help but sigh.
The five members of the Zhen family earn a lot, but spend the least.
For example, Zhen Yuandao was about to break through the Jindan stage, and Wei Wenxin had already told them to focus on their own cultivation and go to the treasury to get the resources they needed. However, the treasury said that their family had spent less than 10,000 yuan in decades. Since taking in this family, they have created tens of millions of yuan in value for Wei Wenxin. Apart from legitimate expenses such as buying seeds, they have only spent this little on themselves.
To be honest, even someone as hard-hearted as Wei Wenxin couldn't help but feel sorry for them.
The spiritual materials in Ziyu's bamboo forest take a long time to take shape, so even if one starts raising chickens and making talisman paper, the profits are still the lowest. However, Ziyu has a stubborn personality and is a bit like a bamboo spirit. She draws talismans and sells them all year round, and the profits are considerable.
Probably knowing that it would be bound to Wei Wenxin's name for the rest of its life, it was very calm when spending the spirit stones, and its position was quite upright.
I don’t know if it’s because he has been with Meng Xiaoling for too long, but his biggest expense every year is actually clothing!
Beautiful dresses and jewelry. Although they are not high-end products, I still buy a lot of them year after year.
As for Ganlu, it is simply a spirit stone crusher!
All kinds of spiritual materials and formation plates were bought basket after basket. Over the years, the money from selling tea and other output was almost spent!
However, it is also the most powerful one. These things are basically used to improve the quality of tea trees.
In just a few decades, there was no longer even a single ordinary tea tree to be found in that ordinary tea garden. It is truly admirable.
Wei Wenxin checked the accounts for half an hour, sent several notes back and forth with the treasury, then drank more than a dozen jars of wine and fell asleep comfortably on the couch.
Zi Yu was extremely anxious, fearing that Wei Wenxin would blame her. She couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and sneaked to the tea garden.
Ganlu was lying on a huge camellia flower, drooling in his sleep. When he saw it coming, he could only get up and listen to it listlessly.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have bought so many beautiful clothes and jewelry. I wouldn't be able to wear them all."
Ganlu nodded and tried to comfort it in a daze, "You are the face of our Lingsi Peak. If you go out, you will lose face for the master. How can you not dress up properly? If you ask me, the way you spend your spirit stones is wrong. You shouldn't buy so many low-grade ones. Instead, you should buy a few sets of expensive ones. It's better to have less but better ones! It's best to pester the master to make you a set of jewelry by hand!"
After hearing what she said, Zi Yu suddenly understood!
Isn't that the truth?
Now it even belongs to Wei Wenxin. It eats her food, wears her clothes, and uses her things. It is all so reasonable!
Ganlu has been with it for decades and truly regards it as a friend. Although she often scolds it for being a nitpicker behind its back, it is still willing to give her advice when she encounters problems.
"You did nothing wrong in spending the spirit stones, but you made a mistake in spending them in the wrong place!"
Speaking of this, Ganlu became excited.
"Come, follow me and take a look at my tea garden. Do you have any insights?"
Ziyu already knew what it had done, and couldn't help but worry about it: "You haven't made any profit for decades, I'm afraid you'll be scolded."
"What do you know? You should be like me and cultivate more high-level spiritual bamboos. Then you can sell them and get your spiritual stones back, right? Without investment, how can there be output?"
"I think I should ask the master first. I can't make the decision on such a big matter by myself."
The nectar penetrated directly into the middle of the flower, inflating the petals and closing them.
It just said in a dull voice: "The master is always not at home, and you have to ask her everything. She must be fed up with you! You are such a blockhead! I want to sleep! Go away!"
Zi Yu sighed, her original anxiety was gone, but new anxiety reappeared!
They wanted to wait until the next day to meet the owner to get a definite answer, but after Wei Wenxin checked the accounts and saw that there was no problem, he directly sent a message telling them not to come.
Before she went on a long journey, she had to make some things for herself to use.
Once the formation was opened, no one could be seen.
