Chapter 10.3. First Experience with Soul Tools
Suddenly, a figure appeared blocked his way, scaring Huo Yuhao. When he raised his head to see who the figure was, he realised that it was actually Tang Ya.
“Teacher Xiao Ya?”
Tang Ya had a somewhat mysterious smile on her face as she pulled Huo Yuhao over to the side and whispered to him, “Little Yuhao, you don’t have any money, right?”
Huo Yuhao nodded. “That’s right! Eldest senior brother told me that there were some jobs that I could take for the academy if I needed some though. I was planning to see what was available after class.”
His yearly tuition was ten gold coins. At the same time, there were daily expenses that he’d need to spend money on. Although he was willing to spend all of his energy cultivating, he still needed to stay alive.
Tang Ya giggled and said, “You’re a disciple of my Tang Sect, so as your teacher, it’s only right that I take care of you. I’ve thought of a way for you to make money. I know the auntie who’s responsible for buying food for the canteen; I’ll help you ask her to buy twenty fish everyday. Afterwards, I’ll help you set up a grill outside, along with help you obtain some charcoal. I’ve also prepared some other ingredients. It should be fine if you just sell roasted fish by the academy’s entrance after school. With your cooking skill, you’ll definitely be able to sell them off. These fishes normally cost around one copper coin, but after you’ve finished roasting them, selling them for five copper coins won’t be a problem at all! If we do it this way, won’t you be able to make some money?”
Huo Yuhao’s eyes lit up. “Teacher Xiao Ya, that’s a pretty good plan. I have my Spirit Eyes, thus I’m able to very accurately control the fire. Why don’t we try this out tonight?”
Tang Ya nodded her head repeatedly. Afterwards, she revealed her true intentions. “About that… since I’ll have helped you buy all of these things, you’ll have to give me priority when you’re selling the roasted fish. Don’t worry, I’ll still buy them from you. As for your future ingredients, you’ll have to buy them yourself.”
Ever since she’d eaten Huo Yuhao’s roasted fish that day, she’d constantly thought about it. After finishing her exams yesterday, she’d finally thought of this method that would benefit them both. Naturally, she’d hid this from Bei Bei.
