Douluo Simulator: I, Huo Yuhao, am cultivating immortality

Chapter 140 The Girl Returns Home
Time always passes by unknowingly. After a few days, it was time to hold the celebration in Mingxue City and the city became jubilant.

All kinds of stalls were neatly arranged on both sides of the street, forming a circle around the inner city. The scale of the stalls was so large that not only the residents of Snow City, but even girls from big cities like Zhu Lu and Ning Tian were quite surprised.

At a glance, almost all of them were street snacks that they had never seen since they were children.

As soul masters, their sense of smell was very sensitive. Even at a distance, they felt that their noses were bombarded. Countless tempting aromas intertwined together, making them purse their lips unconsciously.

"Brother Yuhao, is life in Mingxue City so rich? There are many things I have never seen." Xiaoxiao grabbed Wang Donger, who couldn't control his legs when he saw delicious food, with a very confused expression.

Although she was young, she knew that the heritage of a town was related to the wealth of its ancestors.

The same goes for food. The richer the environment, the more diverse it is. This is because only when people have enough food will they be willing to eat well.

But what can I say about Mingxue City? It’s a bitterly cold place, but it’s not much better either.

But they really don't think that the scale and quality of this rally can be compared with some prosperous big cities.

The stalls were arranged in an orderly manner, the tables and bowls were clean and tidy, and there was also the food truck which was different in form but looked like it had some soul-guiding content!

If this was a backward border city, then what was their hometown? An ancient tribe far away from civilization? Seeing the stove start to burn with just a switch, the girls were surprised but also felt it was reasonable.

After all, they had seen displays that could be turned on without soul power at the auction in Xingluo City. It was normal for them to have soul guide devices that they did not understand in Sun and Moon, where soul guide technology was more advanced.

As the girls marveled at the sight, they recalled their hometown which had not changed for more than ten or even dozens of years, and they felt mixed emotions.

Are Xingluo/Douling/Tianhun really from the same era as Sun and Moon? The girls thought to themselves.

“It’s due to policy reasons. Many of the stall owners here were former miners. After a period of training and examinations, they were allowed to open shops on the street,” Huo Yuhao said.

In the past few days, in addition to teaching Ling Luochen and the others about the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, he also had to deal with a large amount of official documents. Although he had backbones like Yinxue and others, there were still many things that he needed to confirm, and many of them were closely related to the current situation.

Seeing that everyone was still confused, he explained: "Hundreds of years of consumption have reduced the mineral reserves near Mingxue City to very few. If this continues, a large number of workers will be unemployed. Rather than worrying about it then, it is better to seek change now."

"If you look closely, most of the stall owners here are elderly people. The heavy physical labor in the mines for most of their lives has put a strain on their bodies, so we give them priority in arranging jobs. There are also welfare homes in the city, poor families, and children from good families can all receive direct training from the government. And because it is a systematic training, we consciously increase diversity, so many people learn different things. This gives consumers more choices while avoiding vicious competition among businesses."

When the local nobles were cleared out, nine out of ten of them were thrown into jail. After their assets were confiscated, they were left with large tracts of real estate.

It is obviously unrealistic to sell them all, as the local people's consumption capacity cannot support it. However, considering his reputation in Sun and Moon, it would be a good choice to open them up to the outside world. The price is that Mingxue City will become a hodgepodge due to the influx of "spies" sent by other nobles.

Huo Yuhao discussed it with several senior executives and decided to rent out the house at a low price.

It just so happened that the mine was overcrowded, so they spared some people to do side jobs in Mingxue City, a mining city. This collective appearance was to turn the celebration into a food exhibition for publicity.

So far, the effect is good. Many Shenzhou people have settled in Mingxue City with the help of the Shenzhou Chamber of Commerce. With their help, the celebration is indeed lively.

“Everyone, go walk around! With my mental hint, most people won’t pay attention to you.” Huo Yuhao patted Xue Di’s little head. Ever since he raised her to be a foodie, Xue Di would want to put anything delicious in her mouth to taste it.

Although Xue Di had eaten many delicious dishes after being with him, due to time constraints, Huo Yuhao often preferred to cook simple and quick meals. Unless there was an event, he would only make time-consuming dishes when he was in the mood.

Now there is a special food street, and these girls and boys are in for a treat.

"Yeah!" After hearing this, everyone stopped thinking about it and devoted themselves to the journey of exploring delicious food.

At night, Huo Yuhao returned home and saw everyone lying on the sofa. At this time, they were stroking their bulging bellies with their right hands, their expressions were painful but also a little happy, just like pregnant women. Jiang Nannan saw Huo Yuhao covering his belly with his hands in embarrassment, and the others blushed and did not dare to look at Huo Yuhao.

"How much did you eat to become like this?"

"Fortunately, I ate everything once."

Wang Dong'er said bluntly. Although she had no expression on her face, her slightly raised eyebrows showed that she was a little overwhelmed.

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao secretly smacked his lips. That's it? You guys just tasted the whole block! Be thankful that you are soul masters! If you were an ordinary person, you would probably be stuffed to death.

Huo Yuhao was speechless, especially when he found out that Wang Donger was not Wang Donger but Wang Qiuer. He was even more speechless.

So you are also a foodie. He thought Wang Qiuer's personality was similar to the original novel. It can only be said that they are one and the same. Although there are some differences in how they speak and act, some things are engraved in their bones.

"Welcome back, Yuhao. How are things going?" Xue Di was lying on the sofa, raising her head with difficulty, and said weakly.

"Fortunately, there are people in charge of specific matters. I just made a simple appearance and gave a speech."

He separated from the others halfway through, first attending a commendation meeting in the military camp, and then attending various other speaking events. Although he had repeatedly asked to keep everything simple before, it still took him a lot of time to get busy.

“By the way, why are you all gathered in the living room? If you feel unwell, go back to your room and rest.” Huo Yuhao asked curiously.

"Yuhao, we are gathered here to say goodbye to you." Ling Luochen said, "We have been away for more than a month. It's almost the end of the year. It's time to go home."

"It's the end of the year. Time flies. It's already been a year. So when are you going to leave?"

"Tomorrow afternoon. Thanks so much for your care during this period." Ling Luochen and the girls leaned forward slightly. They learned a lot during this period. Although they were a little restrained at the beginning, after getting used to it, they felt a kind of freedom and happiness that was different from at home.

Now that I am about to leave, I feel more or less reluctant.

“You’re welcome.” Huo Yuhao shook his head. At least in his opinion, compared to the wealth brought by the girls, these were nothing.

"You can come visit me when you are free. I welcome everyone at any time."

"Yeah." The girls nodded.

After chatting for a while, everyone returned to their rooms after digesting their food.

Wang Dong'er smoothed her long hair that had been blown dry, then fell onto the soft bed, letting out a cry of pain.

"Alas~ If I had known things would turn out like this, I should have signed up as an exchange student at the college so that I could see Yuhao next semester."

Wang Dong'er's eyes revealed reluctance. After knowing that her father was a despicable bastard who disregarded family affection, she was eager to stay away from everything related to Tang San, whether it was the Haotian Sect or Shrek. She even wanted to discuss with Tang Ya about quitting the Tang Sect after returning.

Now she only hopes to stay by Huo Yuhao's side, only in this way can she feel safe.

Fortunately, Wang Qiuer and Tang Wutong were with her, otherwise she might not have the courage to face her elder and second fathers.
