Chapter 2172: Thanks, Elder Zhangqing, for the gift

These offerings are also for the sect, so Qi Xiong naturally won't be stingy; whatever treasures are needed, as long as they are within his ability, the Dao One Immortal Sect will do its best to satisfy.

However, the representatives of the offerings are not interested in treasures; upon hearing this, the offering who had just spoken clasped his hands and said.

"Sect Master, we only need one thing."

"What thing?"

Qi Xiong asked, and the offering's reply was.

"Canteen rations."

They want no treasures; they just need to bring back a batch of canteen rations, which will give them confidence to persuade their family head and the sect.

Hearing this, Qi Xiong nodded, but this matter still needs to seek Ye Zhangqing's consent.

Accompanied by the various offerings, they came to the canteen early the next morning.

By the way, they also had breakfast, which was very comfortable.

And Ye Zhangqing heard that the various offerings wanted to return to persuade their sect and family, during which they might need to bring back a batch of rations.

Such a small request, Ye Zhangqing naturally wouldn't refuse; he immediately nodded and agreed.

"Like this, come pick it up tomorrow; I'll have it ready by then."

"Thank you, Elder Zhangqing, for the gift."

"Huh???"

Seeing Ye Zhangqing so readily nod, the various offerings excitedly nodded and thanked him, which instead left Ye Zhangqing feeling somewhat helpless.

"It's just some rations; how did it become a gift? In the Zhu Tian Wan Jie, Qi Xiong and them had stored plenty of this."

"Even now, Ye Zhangqing knows that Qi Xiong, Hong Zun, and these fellow Shī xiōng each still have plenty of supplies."

Noticing Ye Zhangqing's gaze, Qi Xiong lowered his head and stayed silent, wearing an expression of "I don't know what you mean."

"What rations? I've never seen such things; they're prepared as a precaution, how could I tell others?"

Having received Ye Zhangqing's nod of agreement, the offerings left satisfied; with a day's time, they weren't in a hurry to return.

And since he had promised everyone, Ye Zhangqing also announced that the canteen would be closed for the day.

After all, they needed to rush the rations, so naturally there was no time to make three meals a day.

Bringing Bai Hua Xianzi and the few girls to the kitchen, at this moment the dog system suddenly gave a response.

【Dried food production, preservation method updated, can claim second-level dried food production method.】

"Huh???"

Hearing this, Ye Zhangqing froze for a moment; this dog system is truly in sync with his heart.

He immediately claimed it, but after receiving the second-level dried food production and preservation method, Ye Zhangqing's expression turned somewhat strange.

"Why does this process feel so familiar?"

A distant term unconsciously surfaced in Ye Zhangqing's mind.

"Pre-made dishes..............."

"This is totally the pre-made dishes from my past life, right? The dog system calls this an upgrade?"

"But after thinking, aren't pre-made dishes more advanced than instant noodles? So counting this as an upgrade in the dog system is fine."

"Moreover, according to the upgraded production method, the flavor of the rations has indeed improved, no problem."

"Immediately, Ye Zhangqing began producing the newly upgraded rations according to the upgraded method."

"Similarly, he selected a few representative, simple, and easy-to-handle dishes."

"Stir-fried fire pork, braised ancient savage ox, immortal spirit eggplant minced meat, and sweet and sour dragon fish."

"Four flavors, none too complicated, production is very simple."

"Furthermore, Bai Hua Xianzi and the few girls were helping on the side."

"Having followed Ye Zhangqing for so many years, the girls' cooking skills have naturally improved greatly; in many aspects, they are no worse than true spirit chefs."

"Also, the girls haven't taken the professional spirit chef examination; otherwise, they would at least be a proper ninth-level spirit chef now."

"Ye Zhangqing is confident about this."

"To be safe, Ye Zhangqing prepared a full hundred thousand portions of rations; the offerings, exactly ten portions each to take back."

"It didn't take an afternoon; soon the batch of rations was finished."

"Just as it was finished, Xu Jie and Zhao Zhengping happened to arrive together."

"Junior Brother, look what good thing I brought you."

"Entering with ease, Xu Jie smiled and took out a jar; this was a seasoning he specially sought for Ye Zhangqing, available only in the Immortal Realm, never seen before in the Lower Realm."

"However, as soon as he finished speaking, Xu Jie's attention was drawn to these rations that hadn't yet been stored in the space ring."

"He quickly stepped forward, looking at the rations before him, left and right, probing as if examining some strange novelty."

"Only then did he speak."

"Junior Brother, how is this rations different from before?"

"This batch of rations is indeed different; the difference from the previous rations is easily visible to the naked eye."

"Hearing this, Ye Zhangqing didn't hide it, smiling and replying."

"Hmm, with nothing to do, I simply made some upgrades; they're easier to store and the texture is better than before."

"Ye Zhangqing didn't exaggerate, but upon hearing this, Xu Jie's eyes lit up; he didn't absorb the rest, just hearing that the texture was better than before."

"He unconsciously swallowed, 'The texture will be better?' ………………"

"He turned his head, gazing intensely at Ye Zhangqing; being looked at like that made him feel a bit nervous inside, Ye Zhangqing asked suspiciously."

"If you have something to say, just say it; don't stare at me like that."

"Hehe, Junior Brother, this new thing, let me, your senior brother, have a taste."

"I thought it was something big, but it's just this; Ye Zhangqing nodded without even thinking."

"This little matter, Shī xiōng, just pick a box for yourself."

"I also want to eat."

Zhao Zhengping, standing to the side, seeing this, Youyou said, the look of anticipation in her eyes could not be hidden either.

Immediately, each of the two picked a box, then, following the previous method, they heated it with Línglì, and directly started eating.

After a mouthful, their eyes lit up.

To be honest, the two have eaten quite a bit of dry rations; after all, they have this kind of relationship with Ye Zhangqing, and usually they hardly lack dry rations.

Having eaten a lot, the two actually no longer feel any wow factor about the dry rations; after all, compared to freshly cooked food, the taste of these dry rations is still inferior.

But this time, with Ye Zhangqing's newly improved dry rations, that taste, compared to before, is absolutely a great improvement.

It's not at all as Ye Zhangqing himself said; it was just a spontaneous whim, he casually made some improvements.

Otherwise, how could there be such a big improvement?

This dry ration is not bad; for future outings or when Ye Zhangqing is not around, it can be used as an emergency supply.

Mainly, compared to before, it's indeed much better.

And given Xu Jie's character, since there's something better, how could he possibly still cling to the outdated previous one?

So, looking at the hundred thousand packs of dry rations before him, Xu Jie's eyes rolled, obviously already scheming about this batch of dry rations.

Such a good thing, it ought to be his, Xu's.

"Hehe, Shī dì, Shī xiōng wants to tell you something."
