Chapter 302

Even if it were Great Chef Sun Wukong's master, it would be a bit too exaggerated; they must have drawn it nicely, and the two gods thought the same thing in unison.

But they don't know that this thing isn't drawn at all—it's the system capturing a screenshot after Chen Nuo finishes each dish.

"You guys take a look"

Sun Wukong was unconsciously drawn closer and closer by the two gods, making him feel uncomfortable all over.

He shoved the recipe into the Stove God's hand and quickly jumped back, but the two gods were already entranced, completely unresponsive.

After a long while, he finally came to his senses.

"Shopkeeper Chen, I'll have a roasted lamb leg"

The Food God murmured, then spoke respectfully.

The Stove God glanced again at the recipe in his hand, chuckling: "Shopkeeper Chen, I want a serving of braised pork"

That color was just too lustrous; comparing it back and forth, he still wanted to taste that flavor.

Chen Nuo nodded slightly and smiled: "Then just pay"

Just as he was about to mention the rules, Sun Wukong interrupted him.

"Master, this small matter, let me handle it"

Sun Wukong cheerfully agreed.

At a glance, he saw the crystal ball placed before the new counter, strode forward, turned his head to look at the two gods, and proclaimed loudly: "Now I'll teach you how to pay"

Sun Wukong placed his furry monkey paw on the edge of the crystal ball in a proper manner, explaining: "You just need to do as I do—put your hand on it, and the crystal ball will give feedback.

Whatever you give will count as one meal's payment"

As soon as he said that, the Food God and Stove God felt utterly bewildered—this payment method was too bizarre; they had never seen anything like it.

After finishing his explanation, Sun Wukong plucked ten monkey hairs and paid first; the two gods exchanged glances, then one after the other approached.

The Food God tentatively placed his hand on it; after receiving the crystal ball's feedback, his face changed drastically, and he jerked his hand back as if shocked by electricity.

Immediately, he cautiously reached out again.

Then he pulled back once more, repeating the motion over and over.

Everyone watching this strange behavior was left dazed.

"Old Food, what are you doing?"

Sun Wukong looked utterly confused.

After trying two more times with no success, the Food God sighed, somewhat disappointed: "My meal fee is too expensive; I wanted to try a few more times to see if I could make it cheaper"

Chen Nuo twitched the corner of his mouth, utterly speechless—what kind of oddballs surround Sun Wukong? Still swiping? Are you trying to bug me here? "This thing can only be swiped once, it binds for life, and what it gives you as feedback is what? Your lifetime meal fee is whatever that is"

Chen Nuo explained calmly.

"Ah?"

The Food God's face fell instantly.

"But even eating one meal costs too much? It demands a strand of divine essence from me"

The Food God muttered.

"What?"

The Stove God beside him exclaimed in shock: "They actually want divine essence?"

These little gods don't even have much of it to begin with—they rely on divine essence for cultivation and maintaining their immortal power!

Sun Wukong scratched his head, utterly puzzled: "What is divine essence?"

"That's the lifeblood of us immortals"

The Stove God's old face twitched as he spoke.

After saying that, the Food God and Stove God took turns explaining to Sun Wukong what divine essence is.

Sun Wukong nodded thoughtfully: "Now I understand"

This thing is equivalent to faith power.

But... "Isn't it pretty cheap?"

Sun Wukong blurted out: "I've even seen a meal charged for a Golden Immortal's treasure"

Golden Immortal... treasure!

The Food God and Stove God gaped—selling both of them wouldn't even cover a fragment of a Golden Immortal's treasure, yet it's just the price of one meal? They felt their fragile spirits shaken—this shop's pricing is a bit outrageous!

The Food God and Stove God wanted to cry but had no tears, looking at Chen Nuo's kind smile, the two gods felt even more chills down their spines.

The Food God had the words "not buying" on the tip of his tongue, but they were shoved back forcefully; oh well, I'll just eat today's meal, no matter if it's good or bad—I won't come back afterward!

Thinking this through, the Food God fumbled reluctantly and paid.

Then it was the Stove God's turn; he closed his eyes tightly, muttering something under his breath, and reached his palm toward the crystal ball.

"I am also divine essence"

The next moment, the Stove God collapsed like a defeated warrior, but his thoughts were the same as the Food God's—he wouldn't dare to retort even if he had eight times the courage.

Holding the heroic spirit of going forth and never returning.

【Ding!

Payment successful!

】. Listening to the system's voice in his mind,

Chen Sister watched the Food God and Stove God with pained expressions, feeling somewhat helpless.

If they knew that eating once in Heaven would require a Taiyi Golden Immortal-level treasure, they might directly lash out—this shop's pricing could be said to be the cheapest possible.

Making those immortals produce silver and gold wouldn't necessarily feel better than giving up a strand of divine essence.

"Don't worry!

What the master makes—eat it, and you'll definitely not regret it"

Sun Wukong patted the shoulders of the two gods and comforted them with a sentence.

"We definitely believe in Chef Chen's skills."

A bitter smile appeared on the faces of the two gods.

Even if they regret it now, it's too late, ever since they stepped through this door.

"You guys find a seat first, you'll be seated soon."

Chen Nuo called out, just head to the back kitchen.

Although these two gods' meal money is especially little, Chen Nuo wouldn't therefore treat them coldly, and moreover, with the system's guaranteed income, he wouldn't lose out.

"Master, do you want me to help?"

Sun Wukong was about to catch up in three steps made into two.

His enthusiasm for cooking has always been this strong, "Do I still need you?"

Chen Nuo shook his head: "Just entertain your friends well, going to the back kitchen is just adding trouble."

Sun Wukong didn't speak, just laughed and scratched his head, leading the two gods to find a good seat by the window.

Then he looked toward Ao Ling at the counter, Sun Wukong asked: "That... Junior Sister, won't you come over to eat together?"

"Ah?"

Ao Ling was stunned, then quickly shook her head, smiling and saying: "No need, Senior Brother, I've already eaten with Master today, I can't eat anymore."

Sun Wukong nodded, didn't ask further, this is just like back then, although he had taken a master, he could only eat one meal a day made by his master.

Normally the master basically also eats only one meal a day, but when the craving strikes to eat more, don't even mention that itchy feeling, wanting to eat but unable to, it starves him to death!

Until later his cooking skills also improved a lot, being able to casually cook on his own made things better, Junior Sister now should be suffering just like he was at first.

"Junior Sister, you must quickly improve your cooking skills, then it'll be easier."

After thinking for a moment, Sun Wukong solemnly put forward his suggestion.

Not practicing cooking well in Chaos Residence, in the end when mealtime comes, the one suffering will be himself.

"Good."

Ao Ling nodded in agreement, she now genuinely wants to learn Master's cooking skills, naturally she will put in effort.

"Hey, this seat is so comfortable."

The Stove God sat on the seat, slightly shifted, and said curiously.

The texture is smooth and soft, leaning back, the Stove God even let out a long sigh of relief, this person is old, just likes to enjoy and enjoy.

"Yeah!

If the Imperial Kitchen had such chairs, how great would that be."

The Food God followed closely and also echoed a sentence.

He could sit for a year!

How miraculous? Sun Wukong's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and he immediately sat down.

"Refreshing!

Another refreshing sound.
