Chapter 214

"Gold, Gold Peng, I greet Shopkeeper Chen!" The Golden-Winged Dapeng stammered.

The answer did not match the question.

Seeing this, Chen Nuo understood everything—this was yet another person trying to probe his cultivation, only to be frightened silly by him.

There was nothing to be done; being invincible was just this lonely.

Chen Nuo nodded helplessly and asked again: "What would you like to eat?"

Chen Nuo's calm demeanor let the Golden-Winged Dapeng breathe a sigh of relief; fortunately, this great being didn't hold his rudeness against him, otherwise he would have been in trouble.

Even if his brother was Kong Xuan, they might not give him face.

As for what to eat?

The Golden-Winged Dapeng stared blankly, then recalled the Peng Demon King saying this was a restaurant.

He opened his mouth, yet had nothing to say; he also didn't know what was available here.

Before the Golden-Winged Dapeng could react, a booklet was handed to him.

"This is the menu from my Chaos Residence. What would you like? Take a look." Chen Nuo spoke softly.

Never mind whether he could become a delivery person for Chaos Residence—come in, make a profit first, then we'll talk.

"Good." The Golden-Winged Dapeng quickly agreed and nodded, then flipped open the menu as instructed.

In the next moment, the Golden-Winged Dapeng's Dragon King's Eyes were firmly locked, unable to look away.

How could a dish be drawn so temptingly?

Could it really be made?

Just looking at the pictures, the Golden-Winged Dapeng couldn't help but swallow, his appetite growling.

"Is this the menu? Shopkeeper Chen, did you change the menu?" The Peng Demon King curiously stared at the menu, utterly different from the original.

"Yeah." Chen Nuo nodded and casually explained: "Since the shop's decor has been changed, I thought I'd update this too."

"Shopkeeper, your decor truly has vision—unique and striking, just looking at it feels grand and magnificent!" The Peng Demon King laughed heartily, eagerly flattering him.

"At first glance, I almost didn't recognize it! It looks so good!"

"Oh?" Chen Nuo raised his eyebrows, his tone carrying a hint of teasing: "You mean the previous Chaos Residence wasn't good-looking?"

"No, no, no!" The Peng Demon King's face shifted, adding several degrees of fawning: "The original Chaos Residence was also antiquated and fresh, natural—these two are hard to compare, each with its own merits!"

Chen Nuo's mouth twitched. Good partner, opening his mouth just to spout nonsense.

If they're hard to compare, why did he even upgrade this Chaos Residence?

"You—when will you put the energy you use for flattery into actual work? Then I'll be satisfied." Chen Nuo remained unmoved by the Peng Demon King's words.

This kid used to work like that too—always loafing, still far behind the diligent and honest Ox Demon King.

"Definitely! Definitely!" The Peng Demon King nodded and bowed, laughing hehe.

On this side, the Golden-Winged Dapeng was already completely entranced; the dazzling array of dishes overwhelmed him, making him want to eat everything he saw.

Excitedly pointing at the dishes above: "Chen, Shopkeeper Chen, these, these meals—I want one portion each!"

Today he was going to eat heartily; in that broken place of the Buddhist Sect, his mouth would grow bland from boredom.

As the words fell, he looked up—only to see the Peng Demon King staring at him with the gaze of one looking at a fool, which made him somewhat displeased.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" the Golden-Winged Dapeng asked.

The Peng Demon King shook his head while patting his shoulder: "If you could order this much in a day, I'd follow you."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean you can't order that much." The Peng Demon King laughed proudly: "Shopkeeper Chen has ruled that one can only order one dish per day—no more, that's the rule."

This rule had originally been something the Peng Demon King hoped Chen Nuo would abolish; now it had become his boast of superiority.

"Ah?" The Golden-Winged Dapeng stared in disbelief: "How come there's still such a rule?"

Instinctively turning to look at Chen Nuo, seeing him nod slightly,

the thought of rebuttal that had just arisen instantly wilted.

Only one dish can be ordered!

The Golden-Winged Dapeng's heart felt torn—he wanted to eat everything he saw, giving up any one felt like a sin!

This is just too hard!

Seeing the Golden-Winged Dapeng still unable to choose, the Peng Demon King leaned in: "Don't know what to eat? Want me to recommend something?"

The Golden-Winged Dapeng slightly turned sideways, making space, watching the Peng Demon King's eager expression, feeling uneasy inside, and quickly said: "Heads up—don't trick me, don't deliberately pick something bad."

Hearing the Golden-Winged Dapeng's words, the Peng Demon King reacted as if he'd heard a joke: "What did you just say? Not tasty?"

"I'll just say this: the entire Chaos Residence has not a single dish that's not tasty."

"Shopkeeper Chen's cooking skill is unparalleled, unmatched in the world." The Peng Demon King patted his chest, declaring: "I guarantee it with my Peng Demon King's Pride."

Taking the menu from the Golden-Winged Dapeng's hand, the Peng Demon King focused and looked—then suddenly surprised: "Shopkeeper, you've added pictures to every dish?"

"Shopkeeper, I never thought your brushwork and ink technique would be this strong!" The Peng Demon King unconsciously began flattering him.

"Look at your own." Chen Nuo twitched the corner of his mouth, somewhat speechless.

If he had that kind of skill, it'd be great—but these pictures were all taken directly by the system.

The Peng Demon King laughed hehe and continued looking at the pictures above.

Every picture was lifelike; the Peng Demon King had stayed in Chaos Residence for a while, had eaten many of these things, and each one here was exactly the same.

The Peng Demon King scanned them in order, his gaze stopping at the bottom, surprise flashing in his eyes, and he quickly looked toward Chen Nuo: "Shopkeeper, has the shop released new items?!"

Hot pot?!

The Peng Demon King murmured in his heart, feeling excited—this dish looked absolutely awesome!

"Mm." Chen Nuo casually replied.

New dish? It's already this late and still a new dish.

Wait!

The Peng Demon King let out a light "huh," his brows furrowing, his eyes holding a trace of scrutiny; hot pot, this name, why does it sound a bit familiar.

He seemed to have heard it somewhere, seemed like...

"Shopkeeper Chen, this is a dish from the the Heavenly Court Pantao Banquet, right!" the Peng Demon King asked doubtfully.

He had once heard the name hot pot in the Yao Shi Gong, after all this year's Peach Banquet was quite a talked-about event.

"Yes." Chen Nuo nodded.

"Then how..." Then how is it here!

The Peng Demon King did not speak the rest of the words.

But whatever the Peng Demon King meant, Chen Nuo understood as soon as he heard.

Shrugging, Chen Nuo opened his mouth to say: "Hot pot indeed went to the Peach Banquet, but, don't forget who presided over the Peach Banquet?"

Presided over the Peach Banquet?

The Peng Demon King blanked for a moment, then, as if thinking of something, opened his mouth to say: "It's Monkey Brother!"

Right!

The Peng Demon King secretly nodded; Monkey Brother is now the Master Chef of the Heavenly Kitchen, who made the Peach Banquet is clear at a glance.

No wonder this Peach Banquet received great praise; with Monkey Brother's profound Cooking Skill, it is Deserved Privilege.

Monkey Brother is Shopkeeper Chen's disciple, and hot pot is a New Dish developed by Shopkeeper Chen; being able to appear on the Peach Banquet is perfectly normal.

Thinking of this, the Peng Demon King swallowed his saliva, smiling ingratiatingly: "Shopkeeper, can you let me change the dish to hot pot?"

"Up to you, anyway just don't order extra." Chen Nuo replied.

Hearing this, the Peng Demon King revealed an impatient look: "Then Shopkeeper quickly change the Roasted Lamb Leg to hot pot for me."
