Chapter 446 New Decoration


    After the gold medal producer joined, Ma Lu collected a total of 2316 business points in the next five days.


    After acquiring the business location, Malu immediately started decorating the restaurant.


    ??He first replaced the cheap second-hand chairs of the same style in the canteen that he originally bought with black walnut upholstered seats, and then replaced the dining table with black walnut.


    After that, he also changed the light bulb above his head. In fact, lighting is also very important for restaurants, because lighting will directly affect the dishes and the sense of ritual during dining. Especially at night, good lighting will make the dishes on the table better. Looks more palatable.


    ?Ma Lu had to make do with lighting in order to save money during renovations. Later, when he made money, he found it too troublesome to renovate, so he never moved on. The visual aspect was completely saved by Lao Wang''s presentation.


    But now that he could solve this problem with just a few clicks, there was no reason for him to procrastinate any longer, so he replaced all the previous incandescent light bulbs with full-spectrum color temperature and brightness adjustable strip chandeliers, about 75 centimeters away from the dining table. high.


    ?In addition, a vase was placed on each table, and the atmosphere was immediately felt.


    But the original floors and walls of the hot pot restaurant seemed out of place again. Ma Lu replaced the floors with herringbone solid wood. However, by this time, the more than 2,000 business points on hand had been used up.


    ?There are not enough tiles on the wall to be replaced at the moment, so we have to wait until next week.


    ?However, even if it was only half-renovated, the guests who came to eat were shocked. Some people thought that Ma was always planning to increase the price.


    Because of the war-stained decoration of the Universe Infinite Canteen, a dish could be sold for hundreds of dollars. Now that the decoration level has gone up, wouldn’t the price also have to go up again?


    ?Some diners came forward to inquire about Malu in fear, and got good news and bad news.


    The good news is that Universe Infinite Canteen has no plans to raise prices recently. The bad news is that their question reminded Ma Lu and made him realize that they can increase the price of vegetables after the installation is completed.


    ?The queues at the entrance of restaurants are getting longer and longer every day. Sometimes, if you don’t line up two or three hours in advance, you won’t be able to get a meal. To be honest, this also affects the dining experience.


    The price increase can also shorten the queuing time.


    ?However, this was a critical period for diverting traffic to Chiling, and Malu was reluctant to bear such a large amount of traffic, so he decided to wait and at least finish decorating the restaurant.


    After finishing what he was doing and not having time to relax, Malu embarked on another journey to look for ingredients and returned to Yuchang County again.


    ?This time nothing happened. Gu Qingyi went directly out of the city to wait for him, and the two met smoothly.


    ?Ma Lu learned from Gu Qingyi what had happened in the county in the past few days after he left.


    Because he and Gu Qingyi caught the real culprit who killed Deputy Sect Master Xu, Yi Te successfully restrained Tan Mazi and others who were determined to avenge Deputy Sect Master Xu, so that they did not go to the Beggar Gang to fight for their lives.


    ??As for the Beggar Gang, due to the persuasion of Chu Qianyuan and several elders, they also temporarily shelved their attack plan on Tianlongmen.


    ?But just yesterday, another person died in the city.


    ??Moreover, seven people died this time. These seven people were neither from the Tianlong Sect nor from the Beggar Clan, but they were martial arts masters who came to help the Beggar with their fists, and their backgrounds were not simple.


    ??They are either long-established masters in the world or core disciples of famous sects. The combined power behind these people is such that not even the Beggar Clan can afford to offend them.


    ??The first person to be suspected of their death was the Tianlongmen. Since they came to help the beggar, the beggar''s gang naturally couldn''t just sit idly by and do nothing, so the atmosphere in the city immediately became tense again.


    “It’s a coincidence that these people died.” Ma Lu commented after hearing this. Gu Qingyi nodded, "Yes, the Beggar Gang just decided to postpone the attack on Tianlongmen. They died in less than two days after that, which simply forced the Beggar Gang to continue fighting against Tianlongmen."


    She paused and then continued, "I found the person you asked me to find to send colorful butterflies to Xu Mansion. Manager Zhou had some impressions of him and said that person''s name was Liu Huozui, who was the most famous person in Yuchang County. He not only sold people but also houses, but he died three years ago. "


    “His eldest son said he died of wind evil, but some neighbors said it was because he had done too many immoral things and he suffered retribution and was haunted by evil spirits and died.”


    "Three years ago? Does that mean he died a year after Cai Die entered Xu Mansion?" Ma Lu touched his nose, "This is a coincidence. The people behind the scenes are cautious in doing things."


    He looked at Gu Qingyi again when he said this. He originally thought that the girl would be a little disappointed after this clue was broken, but he did not expect that Gu Qingyi was not in a hurry at all and looked confident.


    ?Ma Luqi asked, "Why, do you have anything else to gain?"


    ??Gu Qingyi nodded, "According to Liu Huozui''s eldest son, Liu Huozui was a little uneasy a month before his death, but when his family asked him what he was worried about, he remained silent.


    "But he also has a good friend named Qin Feng, whom he has played with since childhood. Qin Feng was originally a servant of the county government, but once he escorted a prisoner, the prisoner escaped. He was worried about coming back. Even if he was punished, he would simply run away.


    "The grass fell in the nearby mountains and became a robber. Liu Huozui''s eldest son said that Qin Feng had returned to Yuchang County a month before Liu Huozui''s death and met Liu Huozui. Liu Huozui also began to become restless and suspicious after that meeting.


    "So Qin Feng came back to warn Liu Huozui. If we find Qin Feng, we should be able to find out who killed Liu Huozui." Ma Lu said.


    “That’s what I thought too.”


    “Have you found Qin Feng?”


    "Not yet." Gu Qingyi shook his head, "I only know that he dropped grass in Wohu Gang, but there were several waves of green forest bandits in Wohu Gang. I don''t know who he followed. I was planning to go to Wohu Gang to see him. Take a look."


    “Then let’s go together, but before we go, I have to do one thing first.”


    "What''s up?"


    “I want to pay my condolences to the seven masters and decent disciples you said were dead before.”


    "Ah? Do you want to worship again?" Gu Qingyi didn''t understand why Malu was so interested in mourning the dead, and would go to worship whenever he saw someone.


    ?Is it possible that there is another teacher inside?


    ?This, this is not possible either.


    Afterwards, she heard Ma Lu explain, "These people were probably killed by the people behind the scenes. Maybe we can get some other clues from them."


    Well, that makes sense.


    ??Gu Qingyi said, "I went to check. The corpses were badly damaged. Even if there are any clues, it would be difficult to find them. But if you want to go, I will accompany you to have a look."
