Melk saw Qin Qi nod and went to prepare to eat. A moment later, a large bucket of rice and two buckets of barbecue were brought out.

Qin Qi cleaned up the food quickly like a glutton, and then patted his stomach. The food was just a small meal but he was not full at all.

"Is there anything left to eat?"

"Well, there are some pickled vegetables that Miss Yisui and the others sent. If you want rice, you can make it right away."

"Then I'll trouble you. I'll go out and buy some meat."

Melk and Binchotan started busy cooking in the shop, while Qin Qi walked out of the shop.

"Manager, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Would you like one of the manager's freshly baked scones?"

"Manager, try my fried meatballs."

Qin Qi bought and ate a lot of things along the way, and finally arrived at the Red Cat Ramen Shop.

After entering, he said to Sasaki, "Give me a bowl of each flavor, and then pack two portions for me to take back to Binchotan and the others."

"Okay, meow, please sit here, manager."

Xiaohua greeted Qin Qi with a smile and led him to his seat. "Manager, you disappeared for so many days and we were all very worried about you."

"I'm sorry, there was a little problem at the time, but as long as the result is good in the end, that's all that matters."

"By the way, Xiaohua, have you tried the vegetables I brought back? They have a strong beauty-enhancing effect."

"After eating it, you can see that my hair is more shiny and I shed less hair."

Xiaohua happily showed Qin Qi her beautiful fur and sharp claws. For a cat, these are the real beauties.

"Ahaha, your ramen is ready, please enjoy."

Puss in Boots came over with ramen and spoke.

"Suck, suck, suck."

Qin Qi was eating his ramen when he suddenly realized he had never seen this cat before. "Is this the new waiter? At first glance, I thought it was Wen Zang wearing a hat as a cosplay."

"They look very similar, right? If you swap their decorations, it would be really easy to mistake them."

Xiaohua nodded, she agreed. "But this isn't Wen Zang, he's Puss in Boots, and he's not a waiter either."

"His official job is to be in charge of the store's security, but since there aren't many problems, he comes here to help entertain customers."

"Puss in Boots? Puss in Boots? The cat who's the hero?"

Qin Qi had also heard of the story of Puss in Boots, but he didn't expect to actually see him here. Well, he looked no different from an ordinary cat.

He just wore an extra pair of boots, a hat, and a rapier around his waist.

"You're right, but I'm no longer a wandering knight. I'm just a cat hiding here under an assumed name, hoping to live a quiet life."

Puss in Boots pulled his hat down to cover his eyes and spoke in a low voice.

"Does he have a sore throat?"

Qin Qi looked at Xiaohua and asked.

"Don't worry about it. This guy is like this from time to time. He says this vicissitudes of life feeling is very handsome."

Xiaohua has no idea what's so cool about this awkward action and tone, but it's good that Puss himself is not embarrassed.

...........................

After eating the ramen, Qin Qi took the packed ramen and went back. When he returned to the store, the rice was already steamed.

The three of them sat around a small table, and Qin Qi placed the ramen and some snacks he brought back on the table.

"I'm starting"*3

The three of them ate and talked at the same time, and most of the time, Qin Qi was telling about his adventures in the past few days.

"A sky vegetable garden tens of thousands of meters above! I'm really curious what those giant sky vines look like."

"And is that red sand a good material for wrought iron?"

"By the way, can you give me this piece of Melk's star?"

Melk looked at the golden iron block that Qin Qi brought back. Melk's star was actually a whetstone.

It is also a top-quality whetstone. Melk's stars are the powder that falls from the stone during the sharpening process.

"Of course, your birthday is coming up in a couple of days, so I brought this back especially for you."

"Of course, my original idea was to bring it back for everyone to eat together. If you want to use it to sharpen your knives, that's fine too."

Qin Qi spoke.

"Um, manager, how did you know my birthday is in a few days? I think I never told you, right?"

Melk said with some doubt.

"I heard it from your father. When I came back, I stopped by the Snake Cave and told him about you and me."

"Ah! What's his behavior?"

Melk asked anxiously with his mouth wide open.

"He picked up a knife and was ready to kill me, but after we fought, he looked at my sword marks and recognized me."

"He mumbled a lot to me about you, including when your birthday is."

"By the way, he also asked me to tell you that he is very sorry for not being able to help you celebrate your birthday in the past few years."

Qin Qi told these things very calmly, but Melk's expression became uneasy when he heard it.

"I originally wanted to tell him the news after we got married, but it's better to tell him now so that he can be mentally prepared."

Melk started to giggle as he spoke. He was of course very happy to hear that his father cared about him so much.

"hold head high!"

At this time, a loud cry was heard from outside. Qin Qi looked towards the door of the store and saw the Glorious Phoenix lying at the door with a wronged look on its face.

He was too big to get in, so he could only watch Qin Qi and the others eat in the store.

"I almost forgot about you."

Qin Qi found a large basin, took some food, and walked outside to the Glorious Phoenix, saying, "We should eat together as a family."

"hold head high!"

The Glorious Phoenix flapped its wings happily, and suddenly a strong wind blew across the entire street, almost blowing the place away.

"Sorry, sorry."

Qin Qi hurriedly apologized to everyone, then looked at the Glorious Phoenix; "This place is a little too small for you, and a little too fragile."

"I have to find a place for you to live. Oh, and where's the big cat? Where did that guy go?"

Qin Qi looked around but didn't see any trace of the Salamandra Sphinx, so he asked.

"hold head high!"

The Glorious Phoenix pointed to the distance, and then took Qin Qi to find the Salamandra Sphinx. They came to a huge food storage warehouse on the seashore.

As soon as I entered the warehouse, I saw the Salamandra Sphinx sleeping soundly.

"You're good at finding a place, but this place is really nice. It's located under a cliff by the sea, and there aren't many people around."

"Well, let's buy this place and build a house."

Qin Qi searched his pockets to make a call, but when he felt nothing, he remembered that his phone had been destroyed.

He had no choice but to go back and call using the phone in Melk's shop. Fortunately, he liked to memorize phone numbers.

Otherwise it will be troublesome.

After a while, the call was connected, and the person on the other end was Shi Meng, the know-it-all on food.

"Whose property is that over on the cliff by the sea in the Shimeng Food Market? Could you help me contact them and buy it?"

"Um, the seaside cliff, you're not talking about the cliff to the north, are you?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"That place is mine too. I have an abandoned warehouse there."

Qin Qi thought about the mark on the warehouse that had almost fallen off and felt that it looked familiar. Then he heard what Shi Meng said.

He suddenly remembered that it was the symbol of the Ten Dreams.

"Then will you sell it?"

"Sell it. I originally bought the place with the intention of making it a port, but the underwater terrain there is really not good."

"If I wanted to develop it, the investment would be too high, so I abandoned it later. If you want it now, I'll sell it to you at 80% off the original purchase price."

"85% off, I want that warehouse too."

"Yes, that's fine. Just let me handle the paperwork. I'll send all the documents to you before tonight."

After the two of them explained everything clearly, they hung up the phone. Qin Qi thought about it and called the designer again.

"Hello, what's going on in the designer studio?"

"it's me."

"Manager, you're here to ask about the progress of the store, right? It's almost finished, and it's been restored to its original state."

"It's just some minor details that are still being polished. By the way, Manager, do you need my help ordering furniture or something?"

"I know a very reliable guy who can make custom furniture for you."

"I've already checked out the gourmet food store and it's been restored pretty well. I won't bother you with the furniture or anything like that. I know someone there."

"I'm looking for you to commission you again. Please help me design two houses by the sea, one for the Glorious Phoenix and one for the Salamandra Sphinx."

“It’s best to design it so that they can live there.”

Qin Qi began to explain his request.

"Glorious Phoenix? Salamandra Sphinx. Manager, please wait a moment while I look up the information."

The designer's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone, followed by the sound of someone frantically searching for something.

After a while.

"A captured radiant phoenix with a level of over seventy, a legendary bird known as the one that harnesses thunder."

"A rare beast, the Salamandra Sphinx, which is in the Gourmet Pyramid and has been captured at over level 90!"

"Manager, you're a little too strong!"

The designer's extremely surprised voice came from the phone. You know, these two guys are the top gourmet beasts in the human world.

"I encountered these two guys while adventuring, and they insisted on following me. I had no choice, but they are still very useful for traveling normally."

Qin Qi asked, "Can you do it?"

“It can be done, but the price will be higher.”

"As expected of the top designer, do you want money or precious ingredients this time?"

"Hahaha, what do you mean by number one? I'm not even number one. I'm just a small designer with some skills."

"As for the reward, let's use precious ingredients. I heard you got a lot of good stuff this time."

"Indeed, there are quite a few. Oh, and I have some ozone grass leaves here. They're very refreshing when used to make tea. I'll give you some."

Although the outer layer of leaves of ozone grass cannot be eaten, it has a special flavor when used to make tea, and it also has the effect of refreshing the mind and relieving fatigue.

The prices sold outside are still quite high.

"Thank you, Manager."

The two chatted about the approximate construction location and detailed requirements and then hung up the phone. Qin Qi then took Binchotan to check out the new food store.

Standing at the door of the store, the facade has been restored to the same state as before, except that there is no sign on it.

When you enter, you will find that the structure is exactly the same. After all, it was commissioned by a designer and the other party still has the drawings.

"It's empty."

Binchotan looked at the empty room and suddenly felt an urge to clean it.
