Chapter 1996

Little Brother Ye Zhangqing, your skill is truly superb.

Not bad, I've lived most of my life, your skill is absolutely the best.

Little Brother Ye Zhangqing, don't forget to save me a table tomorrow.

Right, right, right, and mine too.

As they left, Li Chengshan, Ma Lin and the others each became extremely enthusiastic.

This meal truly gave a feeling of enjoyment; everyone felt for the first time that eating could actually be a happy thing.

Seeing everyone off with a smile, today's Good Review Points weren't many, but Ye Zhangqing didn't mind, it's just the beginning.

The main show is yet to come.

After a few days, Ye Zhangqing plans to get breakfast and big pot rice going too, after all that's the tool for harvesting Good Review Points, far faster than the small stove.

Furthermore, Ye Zhangqing intends to only make big pot rice from now on; the small stove takes time and yields few Good Review Points.

To make a quick breakthrough, relying on the small stove would take till the year of the monkey and month of the horse.

Closing up, resting, he didn't plan to keep burning the midnight oil.

The next morning, Ye Zhangqing had breakfast ready, very simple—just noodles, nothing else.

He didn't even give them a choice.

Even so, as soon as he opened the door, he saw over a hundred people already gathered outside.

At the forefront were Li Chengshan, Ma Lin and their group from yesterday.

What's this, everyone?

Looking puzzled at the crowd, he asked; hearing that, Li Chengshan couldn't help but blush, giving an embarrassed laugh.

Hehe, Little Brother Ye Zhangqing, didn't disturb you, did we?

That's not the case, but why are you all here so early? Aren't you supposed to come at night?

「I this............. 」

Alright, at our age we can't even speak clearly; I'll handle it.

Li Chengshan felt a bit embarrassed; Ma Lin beside him, seeing the situation, rudely interrupted, his eyes full of contempt.

「You................. 」

Upon hearing that, Li Chengshan blew his beard and glared in anger, but Ma Lin completely ignored him, stepped forward, his old face equally red, yet he forced himself to speak.

It's not that yesterday we tasted Little Brother Ye Zhangqing's skill, then went back and tossed and turned, unable to wait until evening, so we brought our families here.

By the way, Little Brother Ye Zhangqing, do you sell breakfast here?

Yes, yes, yes, we too.

Me too, I came before dawn.

Who isn't like that? Yesterday after returning, my mind was full of the aroma of that food.

Hearing everyone's words, Ye Zhangqing smiled; breakfast is naturally available, though only noodles, as long as you don't mind.

No problem, no problem, eat whatever there is; as long as it's made by Little Brother Ye Zhangqing, it's fine.

Exactly, I'm not picky.

Hmm, then please wait a moment, everyone.

Ye Zhangqing was quick-handed; in no time he had the noodles ready for over a hundred people.

Even though it's just a simple bowl of noodles, with Ye Zhangqing's culinary skill added, it still makes people reluctant to leave, eating with utter satisfaction.

After eating breakfast, the crowd finally left content and satisfied.

By noon, even more people came rushing over, obviously having heard what Li Chengshan and Ma Lin said.

There were many new faces, all curious to come taste the flavor; Ye Zhangqing greeted them with a smile.

The number of people wasn't large yet, so he hadn't prepared the big pot rice.

Everyone who ate Ye Zhangqing's food, without exception, gave a thumbs-up; the flavor was simply superb.

In the town, Li Chengshan and Ma Lin, having been busy most of the day, originally intended to rush over to Ye Zhangqing's place.

But now it's already past mealtime.

Even when out training, Ye Zhangqing's tavern still follows three meals a day.

It's not laziness; it's that preparation time is needed, ingredients must be handled, so in fact Ye Zhangqing has little rest time; to quickly raise his cultivation, he's indeed giving it his all.

Originally, Li Chengshan and Ma Lin were both at the Ancestor Realm; whether they ate or not made no difference.

Anyway, it's just a matter of satisfying a craving.

But who knows if after eating Ye Zhangqing's food, the two are now craving it uncontrollably.

Unfortunately, Ye Zhangqing's mealtime hasn't arrived yet; with no choice, the two thought of going to Prison Immortal Tower to grab a bite.

Old Master Li, Master Ma, please come inside quickly.

The proprietor of Prison Immortal Tower, seeing Li Chengshan and Ma Lin, also greeted them with a smiling face, personally stepping forward.

Though their Ancestor Realm cultivation is nothing special out in the world, in this small Prison Immortal Town they are undoubtedly mighty.

Moreover, since both families have lived in Prison Immortal Town for generations, growing up there from childhood, they are essentially local tyrants in this place.

As an outsider, Prison Immortal Tower naturally dare not offend the two if it wants to establish itself here.

They've visited Prison Immortal Tower many times before; it's familiar territory, a nod and they were led to a private room on the second floor.

Speaking of decorations, Ye Zhangqing's little tavern certainly can't compare to Prison Immortal Tower, even if you tried to flatter it.

Not only is the area larger and the decor more luxurious, even the shop assistants inside are all lovely young ladies hired by Prison Immortal Tower.

It's basically a masterful grasp of customers' psychology.

Furthermore, there are other services, such as listening to a tune and the like.

However, Li Chengshan and Ma Lin don't care about those; they're just craving food, simply coming to eat.

So after ordering, when the shopkeeper asked if they wanted to hear a piece, Li Chengshan directly waved his hand and refused.

"No need, just serve the food quickly."

"Yeah, cut the nonsense, we're hungry."

Ma Lin echoed from the side.

"Huh???"

But that remark left the shopkeeper dumbfounded—hungry? You two are at the Ancestor Realm, what the hell are you hungry for?

Not daring to offend them, the shopkeeper could only smile and nod repeatedly, thinking the two were acting strange today, and then respectfully withdrew from the room.

Soon the dishes were served, and he didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest.

The service was thorough.

But Li Chengshan had just taken a bite with his chopsticks when, the next second, he spat it out.

"Pah pah pah, what is this? It's disgusting."

Ma Lin beside him was no better, even cursing angrily.

"Is this meant for people to eat?"

After trying other dishes, Li Chengshan and Ma Lin quickly felt they had lost their appetite altogether.

They then got up and left downstairs.

Seeing them about to leave so quickly, the shopkeeper stepped forward, puzzled, to ask.

"Old Li, Master Ma, what's going on with you..."

But the two had dark faces, ignored the shopkeeper entirely, and just walked away.

Watching their backs, the shopkeeper was utterly bewildered, wondering what the hell was going on.

They'd barely sat down before wanting to leave—no, the dishes had just been served.

"Money? Holy shit, you haven't paid."

Only then did he realize the two hadn't paid, but at that moment the shopkeeper didn't dare chase after them to demand payment.

After all, the street is busy with traffic; openly demanding payment would embarrass the two gentlemen, and the Prison Immortal Tower couldn't afford to offend them.

All he could do was wait for another chance to bring it up later.

But the shopkeeper didn't know that for Li Chengshan and Ma Lin, there would be no next time.
