Chapter 306
Thank you, Manager Chen.
The two immortals had no choice but to say thanks again, sitting back down respectfully, the Kitchen God with a face full of emotion: "Is this water also something you made?"
"Of course."
Chen Nuo smiled and nodded.
This is something he figured out himself; back then he felt a great sense of achievement, happily eating three meals a day for several days straight, almost making Sun Wukong cry from hunger.
"Truly ingenious, Manager Chen, your cooking skills are superb and you also have unique craftsmanship."
"You actually managed to create such a novel and delicious drink; Little God is deeply impressed."
The Food God praised without reservation.
With his professional eye for food, judging solely by flavor, Manager Chen's so-called Peach Soda will surely flourish within the Three Realms.
This soda is completely different from common drinks like tea and alcohol; tea requires one to calm down and savor slowly, recalling bitterness and sweetness, while alcohol needs strength and clinking cups, with lively conversation.
But this Peach Juice is straightforward and refreshing, stimulating and crisp; drinking it is simply refreshing, seeking only satisfaction.
The Kitchen God rubbed his hands, smiling apologetically: "Manager Chen, we can't order more dishes, but can we have more Peach Soda?"
At this moment, the Kitchen God's eyes were filled with two words: refill!
Chen Nuo chuckled, still shaking his head: "Sorry, the rules for Peach Soda are the same as for dishes; although the price is only half that of a dish, you can still only order one cup per day."
The Food God stared blankly: "Half? But I just paid the price of a dish earlier."
He was in a hurry and didn't ask, just handed it over directly.
"Me too."
The Kitchen God nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Chen Nuo spread his hands, indifferent: "You can wait until your second visit to consume again."
"Here, every diner has their own account; all extra money is stored there for next time, convenient."
"You two are the same; after paying the first time just now, your account was already set up."
Chen Nuo gave a rough introduction.
Indeed so.
The two immortals nodded helplessly, not willing in their hearts; in their eyes, this wasn't water at all, clearly a divine object that could break through cultivation.
Not only does it have the effects of Peach, but it's also especially good; most importantly, one cup costs only half a thread of incense, a huge profit!
But since Manager Chen has spoken, they must obey.
At this moment, Chen Nuo's status in the hearts of the two immortals rose sharply, already comparable to Haotian, so they could only come back tomorrow.
The Food God suddenly thought of something; it seemed Manager Chen had called Sun Wukong the Great Chef for important matters, and these idle people shouldn't linger too long, anyway they've already eaten and drunk their fill.
He quickly gave the Kitchen God a meaningful look.
The Kitchen God understood instantly, his old face smiling happily, with slight apology: "Manager Chen, it's getting late; we won't disturb you further."
Chen Nuo nodded, not stopping them: "Welcome to come often."
"That's for sure."
The two immortals spoke with conviction.
With Manager Chen's cooking skills, going a day without eating would make them feel terrible all over, let alone missing the Peach Juice they cherish in their hearts.
How could they not come?!
Seeing the two immortals about to leave, Sun Wukong pondered, then said: "By the way, my monkey clone can only exist for this one day; by then, the Imperial Kitchen will still need your help."
"Ah?"
The two immortals opened their mouths, somewhat confused.
"Only one day?"
Sun Wukong the Great Chef's clone will disappear tomorrow, so they'll have to take charge of the Imperial Kitchen themselves; how will they manage tomorrow? The Food God and Kitchen God were like bereaved dogs.
"Please please."
Sun Wukong laughed hehe, clasped his hands in request.
The two immortals sighed heavily; the Food God stood up helplessly: "Great Immortal Sun Wukong, you'd better hurry back, otherwise we two alone can't hold down the Imperial Kitchen."
A Peach Banquet directly elevated the taste of all Heavenly Court immortals; now with their cooking skills, what they make is simply not enough to look at, and the immortals won't buy it.
Although they have also put in effort to study, learning Sun Wukong the Great Chef's cooking skills, but the path of culinary arts is that simple.
They have made some progress, but wanting to achieve a satisfying flavor is still about the same; their two positions, each one deserves the title.
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong laughed hehe, scratching his head: "I'll do my best, do my best."
He also didn't know what his master wanted him to do, so he didn't dare speak rashly about returning early.
His face showed some embarrassment.
Back then he didn't think much, just casually created two clones to temporarily fill in, but forgot to consider how long they should last.
The two immortals then expressed another wave of gratitude and tears, before slowly leaving.
No outsiders remained.
"Master, what do you want me to do?"
Sun Wukong still couldn't hold back, asking out loud.
Chen Nuo didn't speak immediately, but placed his hand on the table, tapping irregularly; the dining hall instantly quieted down, leaving only the sound of chopsticks.
Sun Wukong and Ao Ling didn't dare breathe; Sun Wukong felt each tap as if striking his own heart, wondering if he had caused some disaster; anxious, he looked at Chen Nuo's solemn face and gritted his teeth: "Master, did I do something wrong?"
"You're going to the Buddhist Sect to be the chef for their Buddhist Dharma Feast, right?"
Chen Nuo said lightly.
Sun Wukong heard this, stunned, nodded: "Yes, but Master, how did you know?"
"Haotian came here to eat, so I naturally know."
"Haotian?"
Sun Wukong somewhat did not understand.
"That's the Jade Emperor everyone talks about."
Sun Wukong felt somewhat surprised in his heart; he did not expect the Jade Emperor to also come to Master's restaurant to eat.
But this also makes sense; after all, the news about Chaos Residence back then was still something he let out.
"Master, is there any problem with this Buddhist Dharma Feast?"
Sun Wukong asked, "If Master does not want me to go, then I will not go."
"There is no not letting you go."
Chen Nuo spoke softly, "Just that, some things need to be explained."
Turning around, Chen Nuo was about to walk toward the back kitchen.
"Come on, follow me."
Sun Wukong stepped forward and was about to catch up.
"Master, Master."
Suddenly, Ao Ling, who had been standing silently by the counter area, spoke up.
Seeing Chen Nuo turn to look at her, Ao Ling spoke cautiously with a slight hesitation: "Master, I think, I want to go back to Long Gong to have a look."
Having just finished speaking, she quickly added: "I have nothing else, it's just that the gemstones I need to pay for my meal are almost gone, so I want to go home to get a little bit more."
Her words were completely sincere; her stockpile had already been nearly exhausted, and the little remaining were all her most precious gemstones. Thinking of what she had lost, Ao Ling's heart bled.
Or maybe I should just take a bit more from home to make up for it!
Ao Ling was thinking, and it just so happened that Senior Brother Sun Wukong also came today, so she could take advantage of this opportunity.
Moreover, she sensed that the matter Master and Senior Brother were going to discuss was important, so it would be better for her to avoid it.
Chen Nuo frowned, did not stop her, and after a moment of contemplation said: "Good."
With a wave of his hand, a small stack of flat peaches appeared in midair, floating toward Ao Ling.
"Take it."
Chen Nuo's tone was calm; after all, having come from his Chaos Residence, he must carry something to shock the scene.
