Chapter 290 A good way to kill two birds with one stone

I guess even though the children aren't in any danger yet, these parents are already extremely anxious - they will have all kinds of worries.

For example, because I didn’t get enough rest in the morning, it affected the children’s martial spirit awakening; because I didn’t give them enough instructions, the children didn’t perform well on the spot; because I didn’t go there to accompany them, the children were timid and made mistakes...

So when the village chief heard that Su Yuntao was coming, his heart sank. Fortunately, Lu Yu was there for everything. At this moment, the village chief was extremely glad that he had adopted this child.

If it weren't for this child, their village wouldn't have the current development. If it weren't for this child, he wouldn't know how to deal with the sudden appearance of the Spirit Hall messenger!

If you are not careful, you may easily offend the other party... The village chief wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly went to get a portion of each of the newly developed snacks in the village.

Of course, he paid for the snacks when he took them - Lu Yu said that even if these snacks were needed by the village, like today when they were going to entertain Su Yuntao.

But you can't take things away empty-handed. You have to pay for them like ordinary people. Whoever buys them will be recorded first, and the village will compensate them later.

This can prevent some people from taking advantage of the situation and thinking that things in the village are easy to get, and moving things into their own homes, which in turn affects the collective interests of the entire village.

When the village chief returned to his home with a series of food, Lu Yu had already found some slightly tricky questions to ask Su Yuntao.

Su Yuntao didn't expect that Lu Yu, who had only been practicing for a short time, had so many ideas and insights on soul master training. For a while, the two of them were discussing enthusiastically.

As for Lu Yu, he had already studied these problems thoroughly, and now he was just sending Su Yuntao away to play with him.

Su Yuntao felt as if he had found a confidant, and as if he was a beacon guiding those who were lost. In short, during the time he communicated with Lu Yu, Su Yuntao actually felt rare happiness.

This was a situation that had never happened in any other village. Especially when they were tired of communicating and the village chief brought back various snacks, Su Yuntao's face showed indifference at first. After all, what delicious food could be made in such a small village?

But when he ate these delicious foods, he was instantly surprised. How could there be such delicious food? Moreover, he had never seen these things anywhere else.

You have to know that as an envoy of the Spirit Hall, he will receive the best treatment no matter where he goes, and everyone will bring the best things to him and ask him to taste them, so Su Yuntao has eaten delicious food before.

However, the food in front of him was far inferior to the one in front of him. The portions were not big, and they did not look very finely made. Compared with those truly precious dim sum, they were a bit rough.

But who would have thought that these seemingly unremarkable snacks, despite their plain appearance, actually taste so delicious... It is not surprising that these things are delicious.

After all, Lu Yu selectively taught the villagers how to make popular snacks according to the tastes that everyone in later generations liked, so how could it be unpalatable?

Su Yuntao on the other side was still sighing in his mind that he had never eaten such delicious food before. He originally wanted to just taste it, but he didn't expect that he had eaten all the snacks without noticing. However, his face still showed a look of being unsatisfied.

Lu Yu has been paying attention to Su Yuntao's changes. After all, this man came from the Spirit Hall, and he will leave the Holy Soul Village in the future, so he must please Su Yuntao and not add any enemies to the Holy Soul Village.

Otherwise, it is hard to say what will happen here after he leaves the Holy Soul Village in the future. However, Lu Yu did not place his hope on Su Yuntao, because this guy is a blind man, otherwise he would not have given up on Tang San just because he saw that Tang San had a Blue Silver Grass martial spirit when testing him.

As long as you don't offend this kind of person, it would be best if you can make friends with him. If not, it doesn't matter, because if there is really a big problem in the Holy Soul Village, this guy won't help.

But thinking of this, Lu Yu couldn't help but think something. It turned out that he was just thinking that after the business of Shenghun Village was good, other villages around it would be jealous. So Lu Yu asked all the stronger young men in the village to act as security guards and patrol the village when they had nothing to do.

One is to have a deterrent effect, and the other is to prevent anyone from coming to cause trouble or causing disturbances. But now he suddenly thought - after all, this world belongs to Douluo Continent, and the soul masters there are extremely powerful.

If other villages bribed soul masters, how would they deal with it? Lu Yu couldn't stay here forever, so the only way was to help the people of the Holy Soul Village find a soul master who could stay in the village for a long time. Of course, the strength of this soul master had to be stronger.

But how can such a person be found easily? Generally, soul masters with higher soul power will be lured away by the Spirit Hall. Lu Yu also wants to make full use of him so that he can be responsible for teaching the children in the village how to learn martial arts.

At the same time, he also takes care of the security work. When a soul master makes trouble, he just needs to help. As for the rest, he doesn't need to do anything. Of course, the monthly salary level must also be increased, so that the truly capable soul masters can be retained.

But this matter is really too difficult to handle... Otherwise, just like Su Yuntao, if he really makes trouble today and I am not in Shenghun Village, then the villagers in Shenghun Village will have to let him control them.

Lu Yu figured out all these ideas in a flash. He planned to start looking for some suitable soul masters to keep watch in the future.

He has already called Su Yuntao: "How about our snacks? It seems that you can eat them."

"In that case...why don't you stay here today? The village head's grandmother is an excellent cook and the food she cooks is especially delicious."

"How about having dinner with us today, Brother Yuntao?"

Although the other party was still enjoying the meal, it was no joke. Lu Yu would never take him to the village to eat snacks. Haha, that was the collective property of the village, so it would be better if he didn't touch it.

If I take Su Yuntao out to eat and drink, then the people below me will see this and start to imitate them. What should I do?

It would be fine for Lu Yu to eat less when entertaining the people from the Spirit Hall, but he would not allow them to eat more. Originally, Su Yuntao thought that Lu Yu would take him to the village to continue tasting these delicacies. He swore that he could eat as much as a cow!

But unexpectedly, Lu Yu only invited him to have dinner at the village chief's house. If it were in the past, Su Yuntao might have rejected Lu Yu and would not have stayed for dinner at all. But today, after eating the snacks in Shenghun Village, Su Yuntao was full of anticipation for the delicious food that Lu Yu mentioned.

I wonder if the food in this village, where the snacks are so delicious, will also be more delicious than other places. So Su Yuntao stayed at the village chief's house for one night.

Grandma knew that the person who came was the envoy of the Spirit Hall, so she put a hundred and twenty points of her heart into cooking. With the help of Luo Shen, the meal was really delicious and tasty, and Su Yuntao's stomach was full after eating so much.

He had never thought that one day he would be so embarrassed because of some food. An embarrassed look appeared on his face and he secretly glanced at the people around him.

But they didn't seem to notice that Su Yuntao had eaten a lot, and Lu Yu put another piece of meat into his mouth, chewing and saying, "It's still the food made by grandma that makes people linger."

"No matter how many times I eat, it's never enough. I just regret that my stomach doesn't have two bigger ones so I can hold more."

Su Yuntao quickly responded beside him: "That's right, I didn't expect that Old Jack, you are so blessed that you can eat such delicious meals every day, you are so blessed!"

The village chief smiled and turned to look in the direction of his wife. Although Old Jack usually looked serious, his wife still held a very important position in his heart.

However, the romance of the older generation does not allow them to express the love in their hearts, so the village chief just looked at the gentle and smiling woman who accompanied him in his old age, his eyes full of emotion.

Although he didn't say anything, everything was implied... Su Yuntao looked at the two old men with affection in their eyes, and tactfully said nothing... As the saying goes, one should be grateful to the one who has eaten his food. Su Yuntao also has time now, so he decided to check the martial spirits of the children in the Holy Soul Village carefully tomorrow.

If there are good seedlings who can become spirit masters, I can also bring them to the Spirit Hall. At that time, not only will I repay the favor here, but I will also make great contributions to the Spirit Hall. It is really a good way to kill two birds with one stone...

The next day, outside the Spirit Hall of Holy Spirit Village, Lu Yu originally came here with Su Yuntao, while the village chief went to bring the children who were suitable for spirit awakening today. However, Su Yuntao did not expect that the shabby little house last year had disappeared this year.

On the contrary, this is the Spirit Hall rebuilt by the Holy Soul Village - the entire Spirit Hall is made of stone. Although it is not as majestic and solemn as those Spirit Halls in other cities, it exudes a tenacious and simple atmosphere.

The new Wuhun Hall in Shenghun Village is built with stones of different sizes. From the outside, the rough surface of the stones shows traces of being hit by hammers and axes.

But it is precisely because of these traces that this Wuhun Hall looks like it bears the traces of time and labor, and the gaps between the stones have been carefully filled with clay by the villagers, and not a single gap has been left unfilled.

Moreover, the clay between the stones was also smoothed out by them. From such details, one can see the villagers' intentions. Su Yuntao nodded with satisfaction.

When they came over just now, looking from a distance, the Spirit Hall of the Holy Soul Village had a rough outline. They also built a tall stone gate for the Spirit Hall, giving it a solemn atmosphere.

Above the lintel of this temple, there is a stone plaque engraved with three simple but powerful characters "Wuhun Hall". The overall look is full of awe for the Wuhun Hall, which surprised Su Yuntao.

He couldn't help but say to Lu Yu: "I didn't expect that you guys even renovated the Spirit Hall. You did a great job!"

"Just looking at the size of these stones, I'm afraid you must have had a lot of hard work building this Spirit Hall?"

Lu Yu heard Su Yuntao's question. Why should he pretend to be dumb when he could show off his skills? So Lu Yu immediately told Su Yuntao how the villagers of their Holy Soul Village built this Wuhun Hall.

"Brother Yuntao, you are right. The villagers of our Holy Soul Village have indeed put in a lot of effort and hard work to build this new Spirit Hall."

"For example, the stones needed for construction, we not only have to look for them in the mountains, but we also have to look for suitable stones in the rivers."

"After careful selection, we will bring back those stones that are hard and have regular shapes to use as building materials."

"In order to transport these heavy stones back, we thought of many ways, such as carrying them in backpacks, carrying them on shoulders, and lifting them by hand..."

"We tried every possible method, but it was too slow. Later, the villagers made a simple cart and moved the heavy stones onto it."

"It was through everyone's efforts, step by step, that these stones were transported back...After these stones were brought back, we couldn't start construction right away."

"We must find experienced masters to start planning and designing the location and purpose of each stone, and young and strong villagers."

"Under the guidance of the construction master, we used hammers and chisels to process the stones so that they could be better connected together."

"During the construction process, in order to ensure the stability of the wall, we have to constantly adjust the position of the stones so that they are closely connected..."

Su Yuntao had not expected that building such a Spirit Hall would be so troublesome. He could not help but ask, "If it is so troublesome, why do you have to build a new Spirit Hall?"

After saying that, he once again looked at the Spirit Hall made of stone: "After all, the Spirit Hall in your village is only used when the spirit awakens, and it is usually idle."

"Especially from what I've seen from a distance just now, you've even rebuilt the roof of the temple, and it's an arched dome."

"I'm afraid this will be even more time-consuming, laborious and thoughtful. I wonder how much manpower and material resources you have invested."

Lu Yu nodded: "Because the people in the village are all ordinary people, there are no soul masters except me."
