~8 min read 1,422 words

There is peach blossom brew for drinks, and soda and peach juice for beverages.

Chen Nuo said.

"Beverages?"

Zhao Gongming was startled: "What is it?"

"Just some fancy water."

Chen Nuo explained it very clearly.

But Zhao Gongming's interest was piqued: "How much does this fancy water cost?"

"Half the meal cost."

Zhao Gongming nodded: "I bought it.

He now feels somewhat at ease using the money from the Wealth Treasury, no way, he didn't want to, but who let Shopkeeper Chen collect so much!

He loves dry rice!

"Do you want soda or peach juice?"

Chen Nuo asked.

"What's the difference?"

Zhao Gongming is still rather cautious, after all, it's five thousand taels of gold, so he must choose something more worthwhile to drink.

"Peach juice is fruit juice squeezed from fruit, soda is fruit juice with gas added."

Like this, Zhao Gongming rubbed his chin: "Then give me a soda."

He felt this could be even more fancy.

Ding!

Another five thousand taels of gold entered the account.

He really is rich.

Chen Nuo now has only one thought: Does the Heavenly Court's God of Wealth still need people? This is too awesome!

Chen Nuo went to the Back Kitchen, poured a large cup.

Due to Zhao Gongming's extravagance, he also poured a little extra, and came out together with Ao Ling who had just finished serving the rice.

Sitting in the chair, Zhao Gongming had his rice bowl and soda in front of him, looking spirited and vigorous, continuing to eat dry rice!

The soda bubbled with small bubbles, Zhao Gongming had some doubts in his heart, could it be some poison? In his previous life he was killed by yin, so he is still rather cautious about this.

But after thinking it over, Shopkeeper Chen, with such great ability, could kill him with a single finger, there's no need for this, so he put his mind at ease.

Pinching up the meat, he again sweated from the spiciness, hastily ate a few mouthfuls of rice, and his hand reached for the soda.

At the moment of touching the cup, it felt like being pricked by a needle and shrank back, unexpectedly cold? Zhao Gongming's heart jumped, but the spiciness in his mouth was truly unbearable, so he grabbed the cup again and gulped a mouthful.

Instant explosion, refreshing!

Zhao Gongming now wishes he could spiral ascend to heaven, he Zhao Gongming since birth has never drunk something so satisfying.

This taste, what nectar and jade liquid, even lifting shoes doesn't match!

"This is the life of immortals ah"

Zhao Gongming lay back in the chair, let out a burp, and sighed.

This sentence directly echoed the inner voices of several people present, feeling that previous years were all wasted in vain!

The dishes of Chaos Residence are the soul!

"Junior Brother, what is this?"

Jin Ling again swallowed a piece of fried chicken, her face full of satisfaction, she sucked the remaining flavor in her mouth, was about to take another piece, but noticed Zhao Gongming's cup in his hand, and opened her mouth to ask.

"This ah"

"This is called fancy water"

Zhao Gongming, focused on eating and drinking, happily took another big gulp.

He gripped it tightly, five thousand taels of gold per cup, cannot waste.

What the hell is fancy water? Jin Ling is a bit dazed, looking at Zhao Gongming's enjoying expression, Jin Ling became even more curious.

"Shopkeeper!

Give me a cup of whatever fancy water he's drinking"

Jin Ling shouted at Chen Nuo.

Chen Nuo had a black line on his face: "That's called soda"

Jin Ling still wanted to say something, but Zhao Gongming's side then showed an abnormality.

"This water!

This water"

Zhao Gongming seemed to sense something, staring with wide eyes, somewhat incredulously said: "Inside there is the taste and efficacy of peach"

"Peach?"

Jin Ling didn't understand, how did good soda get involved with peach? It must be!

It must be!

Zhao Gongming's heart trembled greatly, he had eaten it before, this is definitely the taste and efficacy of peach, and moreover, not less than six thousand years!

"How could there be peach in this water?"

Zhao Gongming unconsciously spoke out.

"Right, this is peach soda, definitely has peach"

Bixiao ate half a piece of braised pork with rice, eating happily, but was interrupted by Zhao Gongming.

Regarding her Senior Brother's rustic appearance, Bixiao helplessly rolled her eyes.

"Isn't the peach from Wang Mu Yaochi?"

Jin Ling was very puzzled.

Bixiao hehe smiled mysteriously, lowered her voice and said: "Peaches, Chen the shopkeeper's backyard has a whole orchard planted with them, and they are all nine-thousand-year-old, you know."

One orchard, nine-thousand-year-old peaches!

Not only Jin Ling and Zhao Gongming, but even Wu Dang Shengmu, who had been quietly drinking peach blossom porridge, was startled.

The cultivation of peaches is extremely particular, ordinary immortals may have peach pits but still cannot grow them.

Moreover, peaches can be said to be the treasure of Yaochi; if someone else were to plant them, there would certainly be no good fruit to eat!

As a result, Chen the shopkeeper not only planted them, but dared to plant a whole orchard—this is too bold, no wonder he's Chen the shopkeeper!

Jin Ling, Wu Dang, and Zhao Gongming, the few who now understood the situation, instantly felt their respect for Chen Nuo rise another level.

"Chen the shopkeeper, give me a cup of peach soda too."

Holy Mother Jin Ling could not wait any longer.

"I'll have a cup too."

Wu Dang was comparatively tranquil.

Yunxiao and Qiong Xiao, seeing this, also wanted to do the same, but were stopped by Bixiao.

A flash of slyness passed through her eyes; Bixiao, facing Zhao Gongming who was eating with great enjoyment, said: "Senior Brother, you pay."

"Why?"

Zhao Gongming wore a face full of question marks—wasn't it agreed that he only needed to pay for the meal? Although the younger sisters' meal expenses are nothing compared to his, even a mosquito, however small, is still meat!

He has already used so much money from the Heavenly Court; there must be a risk assessment in this way of being an official—he must be extra careful, extra careful.

But Bixiao's nagging cannot be brushed off with a casual refusal; her eyes rolled, and a plan formed in her mind.

On her clever little face appeared several more degrees of rigidity and dignity; her gaze toward Zhao Gongming carried even more of a heartbroken and indignant meaning.

Zhao Gongming looked utterly bewildered.

"Cough cough!

I never thought, Senior Brother, that for such a simple meal, you would act out of self-interest, pervert the law, embezzle as a guardian, and misappropriate a large amount of gold from the Heavenly Court's Wealth Treasury!

What crime do you deserve?"

"Even if you are my Senior Brother, I, Bixiao, cannot tolerate the existence of such vile behavior."

With a slap, she slammed the table and stood up.

Bixiao muttered to herself: "I'm leaving; this matter must be reported to the Jade Emperor."

Upholding celestial rules, the immortals have responsibility.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gongming broke out in cold sweat, his face instantly turning remarkably colorful—not because he, Zhao Gongming, is timid and fearful.

Normally, even if he were afraid, if provoked, he would dare to fight Haotian.

But now he has been handed a note saying he has already spent twenty-three thousand taels of gold.

As the God of Wealth, he does have a salary, but it has mostly been spent on his daily drinking.

If exposed, he wouldn't fear punishment, but if dismissed, wouldn't that be disastrous!

How would he then come to Chaos Residence to eat? Ten thousand taels of gold—he would have to work himself to death to produce it!

Although he has only eaten for a short while.

But just the first bite, he already knew this was a flavor he could not give up.

Even if he cannot come every day, he must have a meal every few days to be satisfied.

If he can no longer afford to eat in the future, he will go mad!

Zhao Gongming shook his head repeatedly—no, he absolutely will not allow this to happen!

From today onward, the position of Martial God of Wealth surpasses all; he gave a smug smile and hurriedly stopped Bixiao.

Feigning generosity, he said: "What the younger sister says, which family? As elder brother, how could I be so stingy?"

"This water!

I'll cover it."
