Lin Xuan Qi left the mansion after he had the gifts brought to his room.

He and Lee He Song headed straight to check on the locations of the factories.

The mess in the building allocated by Sima Long for him on the east side of the city was now cleared of all the dead bodies.

He confirmed the measurements one last time and went to the west side of the city to check on the other building allocated.

The building on the west side of the city was in a much more bustling area of the city.

There were restaurants surrounding the area.

He could smell the aroma of food when he stepped into the busy street.

It was perfect for him to generate the oil from the lard and sesame seeds.

No one would have any doubts about someone generating oil from the lard in such a neighborhood.

Lin Xuan Qi and Lee He Song entered the building and saw that it was deserted like the other building on the east side of the city.

Puff.

When he pushed the door to enter the building, the dust came upon his face, and he had to cover his nose and mouth with his hand.

It irritated his throat and airways, making him take a step back to suppress the urge to cough.

The dust settled after a few moments.

He stepped through the entrance and saw that it was sparsely furnished.

There were only an open area and a few chairs strewn around.

Lucky for him, he saw that the building had ample amounts of windows by the side.

Making the oil would give out lots of smoke, hence it was a must for the factory to have enough ventilation.

He started to pace around and got a rough dimension of the factory.

Enough for him to place six to eight huge woks for generating the oil required to make the soap.

After he was done, Lin Xuan Qi and Lee He Song went to one of the inns to have lunch first.

"Welcome. How many guests, sir? To stay or lunch?" The innkeeper greeted him when the innkeeper saw him and Lee He Song enter the inn.

"Just lunch."

He raised his hand with his index and middle finger pointed up, gesturing to the innkeeper that there were two guests.

The innkeeper bowed at him and shouted into the dining area of the inn, "Guest of two here for lunch."

"I'm coming, give me a moment." One of the waiters in the inn shouted as he took down the orders from the customers in front of him before moving out to the front where the innkeeper was.

It didn't take the waiter long to arrive.

The waiter slapped a towel he had onto his shoulder and bowed at Lin Xuan Qi and Lee He Song.

"Please follow me, young master."

Lin Xuan Qi nodded and followed the waiter closely behind.

Inside the inn, it was filled with guests in all sorts of different attire.

Some wore fine clothes with gold and jade decorations on them, while others wore simple clothes and were burly built, most likely due to them doing hard labor work.

The waiter led them to a table near the window.

He took the towel off his shoulder and wiped the table.

After that he glanced back at Lin Xuan Qi and Lee He Song, "Please have a seat. What would you like for lunch?"

Lin Xuan Qi sat down and asked, "Any specialty that would be recommended?"

The waiter stood up straight, with his eyes beaming with pride, and the waiter said to him, "Our beef noodle soup is renowned in the area and in Hong Feng City if I must say so myself."

"Then, give us two bowls of beef noodle soup. And get him a bottle of wine while I'll have some tea." Lin Xuan Qi replied to the waiter.

The waiter took down his order and shouted into the kitchen, "Two bowls of beef noodle soup and a pot of hot tea!"

He walked away the next moment to attend to some other customers.

As they waited, Lin Xuan Qi heard the conversations that were going on around him.

"I hope I get to have a glimpse of Lee Zhen Ren during his birthday celebration."

"Be glad that you were invited."

"I think we should be glad that we've arrived safely."

"What do you mean?"

"Haven't you heard, there are many cases of robbers near the city."

A group of travelers sitting next to him was talking about what they'd heard on their way to Hong Feng City.

Lin Xuan Qi raised an eyebrow and asked Lee He Song, "Is it normal? The robbers?"

Lee He Song nodded and said, "I think that it's most likely due to more travelers coming to Hong Feng City for Lee Zhen Ren's birthday celebration that's fueling these opportunists."

He nodded to what Lee He Song said.

One thing was certain was that this birthday celebration for Lee Zhen Ren was drawing much attention, and many had come to participate in it.

"Young master, here's your beef noodles and beverages." The waiter came back with a tray in his hand.

He took the bowls from the tray and placed them onto the table.

Next were the teapot and wine bottle.

The waiter picked them up from the tray and placed them next to Lin Xuan Qi and Lee He Song.

"Please enjoy your meal. Hope the beef noodle is to your liking." The waiter said as he picked up the teapot.

He poured a cup of tea and wine for Lin Xuan Qi and Lee He Song before leaving.

The beef noodle in front of Lin Xuan Qi was steaming hot.

He took a whiff from it, and the fragrance of the beef entered his nose.

Picking up his chopsticks, Lin Xuan Qi swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

He had been eating pretty much the same cuisine in the mansion, and it was certainly nice for him to have something different.

With strands of noodles on his chopsticks, he slurped them into his mouth.
