Chapter 258 The First Martial Arts Tournament Ends

"If I get married in the future, I will definitely go to Caidiexuan to order this steamed pot chicken." Everyone in the military camp who had tasted the steamed pot chicken could not forget the chicken soup. Someone said with a smile while drinking a small bowl of chicken soup.

Because there were so many people participating in the competition, Su Jixiang's pot was used to make the soup all day long, but he could only ensure that each person got a small bowl.

Even this small bowl of food became something that everyone in the military camp longed for every day. Not to mention the whole roasted lamb, there were people setting up bonfires and roasting it outside the parade ground all day long.

According to Su Jixiang, chicken soup cannot make people feel comfortable when drinking it, but the whole lamb can make people feel happier when eating it.

In order to sponsor this first martial arts competition, Su Jixiang bought all the goats he could find in the vicinity of Mangcheng, but he could only gather about 500 goats. Twenty people shared one goat. It was not enough to have a good look around, but it was enough to eat happily.

Assuming five taels of silver for a sheep, Su Jixiang spent more than two thousand taels of silver just on buying sheep. Adding chicken and other items, Su Jixiang spent a total of three thousand five hundred taels of silver.

When Qu Wanning did the math, his eyes widened.

"We just made a little money and we lost it all. We still have a lot to lose." Qu Wanning went to Su Jixiang and said.

"I don't like rouge and powder anyway." Su Jixiang said with a smile, "This money will not be paid from the store's public account. It will be considered as my own donation to the Black Tiger Army."

"That won't work!" Qu Wanning shook his head firmly, "You can't be the only one to post! Besides, you didn't use your own name when you asked for money, but the name of our Caidiexuan. Do you know that although Caidiexuan is not selling steamed chicken these days, the steamed chicken for the next half month has been booked. Should we increase the number of steamed chickens every day?"

"I haven't discussed this sponsorship with you yet. The money in this store is all yours. You can't spend it from the store." Su Jixiang said. "As for the previous limit of 30 pots per day, it can be cancelled. Sell as many as you can. It was for marketing before, but now the effect has emerged, there is no need to hold back. I see that the share of our store in the past few days is not small. Now that no one has the recipe for the steam pot chicken and the steam pot, let's go all out! Sell as much as we can! After I get the money back, I will start selling the steam pot!"

"That's great. I calculated that if the kitchen is fully open, plus our steamer, we can produce no less than a hundred pots a day, and we can sell them all! And as for the sponsorship, I mean, you can't be the only one to benefit from it!" Qu Wanning smiled after hearing this, "After all, my wife is the military advisor of the Black Tiger Army. In this way, I won't compete with you, the wife of a general. You pay the majority and I pay the minority. I agree to pay 1,500 taels of silver, and the remaining 2,000 taels are yours. I'm not discussing this with you, I'm telling you!"

Su Jixiang... "How come after being the shopkeeper for a few days, you already have the aura of a domineering CEO?" Su Jixiang asked with a smile.

"What do you mean by domineering president?" Qu Wanning didn't react for a moment, then she remembered the origin of her general office and couldn't help laughing, "Oh, you mean that, yes, yes, I am going to be the domineering president. What can you do to me?" When Su Jixiang named her room in the store the general office, she asked what it meant. Su Jixiang told her that the general office means the president's office, and in the future she would not only be the owner of a restaurant, but also the president of a large group.

Qu Wanning didn't understand what the so-called big group meant, but when Su Jixiang said so, she thought it seemed very powerful, so she accepted it!

She has to work for Su Jixiang anyway. It’s a big group, so what? Su Jixiang won’t cheat her!

Looking at Qu Wanning's proud eyes, Su Jixiang couldn't help but pinch her cheeks, "Okay, okay, okay, whatever you say. Just don't feel bad!"

"Hey, isn't money meant to be spent? Instead of spending it on rouge and powder, it's better to spend it on meaningful things like this." Qu Wanning said with a smile. In the past, she liked to go to those shops that girls liked. When she was in Dongdu, she was just like other noble ladies in Dongdu, buying clothes, fabrics, and jewelry at any time. Now think about it, those things are just passing clouds. On the day when the palace was broken into, her silk, satin, gold and silver jewelry could not save her life.

The person who rescued her was Su Jixiang!

"Then do you want to discuss it with your family?" Su Jixiang asked.

"Why should I discuss it with him? I didn't use his money. I used my own money!" Qu Wanning raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Okay, okay." Su Jixiang clapped his hands, "Remember this feeling of spending money! We must be tough in the future! The money we spend is the money we earn ourselves!"

Qu Wanning was stunned for a moment, then started laughing.

Indeed, this feeling is particularly good!

At dusk on the third day of the competition, participants from the Black Tiger Army gathered on the training ground again.

After these three days of competition, everyone really made a lot of new friends. Although we were all in the army before, because the bases were far apart, many people didn’t know each other, but after these three days of competition, many people made new friends.

Wei Ling once again stood at the highest point of the martial arts arena, looking at the army that had already lined up in the parade ground.

After three days of competition, although everyone felt physically tired, they were mentally energized and full of energy.

"The three-day competition has ended." Wei Ling said to everyone, "This competition was quite successful. This is the first one. We will have the second one in two years, and the third one in four years. I hope each one will be better than the last! Because of the short preparation time for the first one and the rush to hold it, some brothers were not able to show their actual level. It doesn't matter. We will see the result here in two years! We have selected many talents in this competition. The list will be posted at the entrance of the training ground. You can go and see it yourself. If you have any objection to the result, you can raise it to the chief officer. You can rest for a day around Mangcheng tomorrow. The final result will be posted before the day after tomorrow! Then everyone will receive the award and return to their own base. As for the follow-up, someone will notify everyone!"

After Wei Ling finished speaking, warm applause broke out in the parade ground.

After the applause died down, Wei Ling continued, "Remember the military discipline of our Black Tiger Army. I can give everyone a day off, but if anyone dares to act recklessly in Mangcheng and disregard military discipline and harass the people, I will never forgive them! The meeting will issue new military discipline and regulations. Everyone must follow them. If anyone violates them, they will be punished by military law, and there will be no mercy!" He paused, "Okay, I declare the first Black Tiger Army Martial Arts Competition a successful conclusion!"
