Chapter 26: Tang San Enters the Shop

The next day, on Furong Street

"I'm exhausted!"

Su Mu stretched and adjusted the menu in the food shop.

Driving all the way back yesterday had worn him out.

Fortunately, he managed to return on the third day itself.

So, as soon as he got back, Su Mu prepared to reopen for business.

No choice; every day lost means money lost!

"System, your prices are getting more and more ridiculous!"

As soon as he added Beef Noodles and Watermelon Juice, Su Mu started complaining about the System's pricing.

That egg fried rice before was already expensive at ten taels of gold.

Yet you price this single bowl of beef noodles at fifty taels of gold.

That's a fivefold increase; it's absolutely absurd!

The most absurd thing is that Watermelon Juice at the end.

I thought it was a free gift, but who knew the System would price it at a hundred taels of gold!

Damn it, System, you might as well tell him to rob a bank!

A watermelon juice costing over a million; why not just fly to the sky!

"Beep, Host, have confidence in your own cooking skills!"

The System's prompt sounded, and Su Mu could only chuckle helplessly.

He had great confidence in his cooking skills.

But he had very little confidence in the intelligence of the customers who would come.

Was he treating those customers like fools?

A hundred taels of gold just to drink a cup of your watermelon juice!

Unless they were crazy!

"Forget it; who am I to say I have no pricing rights!"

Sighing, Su Mu was powerless.

He could only hope this watermelon juice wouldn't affect the sales of the other dishes.

As soon as Su Mu's food shop opened here

in the jianghu world of Smiling Proud Wanderer, a large amount of white mist suddenly rose within Yue Buqun's guest room.

Yue Buqun, who was sitting cross-legged adjusting his cultivation to prepare for tomorrow's duel, immediately jumped up in alarm.

"The Immortal has returned!"

Seeing the familiar white mist before him, Yue Buqun murmured excitedly.

Without hesitation, his figure stepped directly into the white mist and vanished.

The next moment, Yue Buqun's figure appeared inside the food shop.

"Huh, you're here so early?"

Having just opened for business a short while ago, Su Mu saw Yue Buqun walk in from outside and couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

True to form, the big fat sheep who loves food—pfft, the regular customer—is so diligent!

"As soon as I saw the shop owner return, I hurried over immediately; I'm disturbing you again, Shop Owner!"

Bowing respectfully to Su Mu, regarding an Immortal like Su Mu who loved to play around in the world.

Yue Buqun had also vaguely found the trick.

"Hmm, is it the same as usual this time?"

Seeing Yue Buqun's attitude was so good, Su Mu wondered whether to recommend the new dish to him.

After all, big fat sheep like Yue Buqun who are so easy to fool are rare.

"Hmm, naturally, but wait, Shop Owner, you have a new product!"

Yue Buqun was about to nod when he saw two new dishes clearly added to the menu.

Beef Noodles, priced at fifty taels of gold!

Watermelon Juice, priced at a hundred taels of gold!

The exaggerated prices made Yue Buqun excited immediately.

Yes, not shocked, but excited.

As a regular customer in the shop, Yue Buqun knew best: the higher the price, the better the effect.

Mere fifty taels of gold and a hundred taels of gold; Yue Buqun didn't care.

What he cared about was the strength increase it provided.

"Ahem, Shop Owner, please add a serving of Beef Noodles for me!"

Clearing his throat lightly, Yue Buqun added a serving of Beef Noodles without hesitation.

He planned to see the effect of the Beef Noodles first.

Having learned from the incident with the cold boiled water last time, Yue Buqun also had a guess about the Watermelon Juice.

Perhaps the effect of the Watermelon Juice was similar to that of the cold boiled water.

Huh, are rich people these days so generous?

I haven't even recommended it, and he ordered it himself!

Truly, as expected of a foodie who enjoys fine food!

Giving Yue Buqun a mental thumbs-up, Su Mu prepared to get the food ready.

As a result, just as he was preparing to set off, Zhang Sanfeng, Song Yuanqiao, Abbot Xuan Ci, and Monk Xuanji arrived at the doorway.

"You have indeed come very early!"

Seeing that all the old customers had arrived in one go.

Su Mu could not help but sigh; these old customers were simply the best.

He had barely opened the door, and they had already rushed over in haste.

"Disturbing the shopkeeper again!"

Zhang Sanfeng, Abbot Xuan Ci, and the others said with smiles on their faces.

Seeing Yue Buqun, who had arrived a step ahead of them, they nodded in mutual recognition.

It was just at this moment that Song Yuanqiao noticed the change in the menu.

"Shopkeeper, you have released new items!"

Looking at the two extra dishes, even though Song Yuanqiao had already guessed, he was secretly shocked by their prices.

An egg fried rice costing ten taels of gold had already increased internal energy by ten years.

What terrifying existence would this fifty-tael beef noodle soup be!

Prompted by Song Yuanqiao's reminder, Abbot Xuan Ci, Monk Xuanji, and the others also noticed the change in the menu and could not help but draw in a sharp breath.

Monk Xuanji's gaze fixed even more intently on that one hundred-tael gold watermelon juice!

If one drank a cup, wouldn't that directly grant a hundred years of internal energy?

Thinking that if it were truly so, then he, Monk Xuanji, would not he take flight right there on the spot!

Sharing the same thought as Monk Xuanji was Abbot Xuan Ci standing nearby.

The two exchanged a glance, and their breathing grew rapid.

"Shopkeeper, please bring two portions of every dish!"

With a grand wave of his hand, Abbot Xuan Ci, displaying his immense wealth, prepared to order every single delicacy.

Yue Buqun, standing nearby, watched this scene, his mouth twitching.

Those bald Shaolin monks are showing off their wealth again!

Thinking of his own worth of merely ten thousand taels of gold, Yue Buqun held his tongue for now.

On the other side, Song Yuanqiao and Zhang Sanfeng likewise, without revealing any emotion, ordered every single delicacy.

Seeing that as soon as these few appeared, they were so wealthy and extravagant.

Su Mu could not help but reveal a smile.

He simply loved these fat sheep who threw thousands of gold away.

Plucking them was simply delightful!

For a moment, the few who had finished ordering sat down.

Meanwhile, on the other side

Douluo World, Suotuo City

"Let's just sleep here for the night!"

Inside the Rose Hotel, Tang San sat cross-legged, looking at Hearing Xiao Wu sleeping soundly on the bed, and could only shake his head with a bitter smile.

Just at this moment, a white mist silently spread throughout the room.

Tang San, who was sitting in meditation, was instantly startled awake, and the Purple Demon Eye shot forth from his eyes.

But strangely, the Purple Demon Eye could not penetrate the white mist even a fraction!

"Not good, Hearing Xiao Wu!"

Seeing the white mist before him, obscuring his view of Hearing Xiao Wu, Tang San hurriedly moved toward the bed.

Yet with just a single step, amidst the shifting of stars and the turning of the universe, Tang San found himself already within a vast starry sky.

At one end of the starry sky, the figure of the Food Shop floated above it; apart from that, there was nothing else.

"Is it an illusion? Or?"

Tang San, by nature vigilant, immediately brought the Purple Demon Eye to its utmost limit.

But even so, he could not see through it even a fraction.

Within the starry sky, after hesitating for a long time, Tang San finally gritted his teeth and pressed forward, wanting to investigate the truth of the Food Shop.

Stepping out from the starry sky, he took a single step into the Food Shop.

A flood of information instantly surged into Tang San's mind.

In an instant, Tang San was stunned!

Is this a fairyland?
