Chapter 338: All Parties Aware of the New Dish
The leaves of the Wudao Tea Tree possess Dao power, which can aid ginseng in comprehending the Dao; their effect is incredibly heaven-defying, and even for a Holy Person, they are quite beneficial.
Their true value far surpasses that of the ginseng fruit and the Pantao Tree, but precisely because of this, the Wudao Tea Tree has lost the opportunity to transform into a humanoid form.
The Dao power is simply too overwhelming—so overwhelming that even the slightest sign of nascent spiritual intelligence is forcibly destroyed by it.
Spirit root transformation is usually extremely difficult; among the innate ten great spirit roots, only the Bodhi Tree and the ginseng fruit tree succeeded, becoming respectively the present Zhunti Holy Person and Zhenyuanzi.
Chen Nuo doesn't care whether this one can transform into a humanoid form; as long as he can pick the leaves, it's fine.
Chen Nuo examined the Wudao Tea Tree from top to bottom, reached out to touch the leaves on the tree, and then slowly plucked them down.
Smiling slightly, he could already harvest them!
Looking ahead, my Chaos Residence tomorrow will not only need more new dishes, but also another beverage.
One leaf steeped in one cup!
Chen Nuo nodded in satisfaction; he truly is a conscientious merchant, at least using tea for the tea water!
It's not that he's stingy—it's simply that these Wudao Tea Leaves are too rare, and their effect is too heaven-defying; even a Holy Person would be moved by them.
He isn't just serving one leaf per cup; price-wise, he also needs to raise it to match that of regular dishes, after all, this thing cannot be compared to Pantao.
When there are more tea leaves, can he also buy some tea eggs? Wudao Tea Tea Egg—just thinking about it sounds luxurious enough.
Or perhaps turn it into milk tea? There are so many things one can do with tea; he can have all kinds of uses, as long as the yield can keep up.
Plucking the tea leaves one by one, he stored them away.
Chen Nuo turned and walked back into the room; today, he'll first stir-fry the tea leaves.
"I didn't expect this hot pot to still have another flavor."
Inside the Wahuang Palace, Nüwa slowly and deliberately wiped her vermilion lips with a napkin, softly commenting.
She originally thought the hot pot needed to be cooked by themselves, and wouldn't be that delicious.
But she didn't expect that the flavor of the soaked base ingredients plus the sauce would be not at all inferior; on the contrary, because of participating in it, it became even more enjoyable.
However, compared to the delighted Nüwa, Xuan Feng here is not doing well—when she eats, she still has to watch Nüwa's facial expression.
She originally really wanted to try the scallop, but unfortunately Nüwa likes it very much and keeps picking at it nonstop.
As a result, she didn't get to eat a single one in the end—it's really too difficult!
Yet Xuan Feng still forced a smile: "What the Empress says is absolutely correct."
Nüwa lightly swept her brows and eyes, her jade finger tapping once, and a stream of energy instantly injected into Xuan Feng's body.
This familiar sensation made Xuan Feng's mouth slightly open, her face full of surprise.
"Isn't this exactly the Empress's Holy Person's power?"
After coming to her senses, her face showed uncontrollable joy; she hurriedly bowed and thanked: "Thank you, Empress, for bestowing the Dharma."
With this divine power, she should still be able to indulge freely for a few more days!
Nüwa slightly nodded: "From now on, half of your dishes shall be given to me."
"Ah?"
Xuan Feng suddenly lifted her head to look at Nüwa, unable to help but exclaim in surprise.
"Empress, I..."
Xuan Feng stammered, unable to utter a word for a long time; if she has to give half to the Empress, she simply won't have enough to eat!
But since the Empress has spoken her golden words, she dares not directly oppose her.
"I haven't finished speaking yet."
Nüwa gently supported her cheek with her right hand, lazily saying: "Accordingly, I will grant you the Holy Person's power, allowing you to freely order meals."
Is there really such a good thing?!
Xuan Feng's eyes instantly lit up.
Being able to freely order meals every day!
This is too satisfying!
Xuan Feng was overjoyed; she did not ignore Nüwa's saying of giving half every day, although she was very unwilling, but she could still distinguish between a full meal and half meals.
"Thank you, Empress, for your Divine Favor."
"It's nothing."
Nüwa spoke lightly.
Although Nüwa's face showed nothing particular, her mood was excellent!
Having agreed is enough; she was just worried that every day there wouldn't be enough to eat.
This is only proper and better.
Nüwa's heart stirred; she was about to eat her own portion as well, having been eating hot pot all along, and to prevent the dishes from getting cold, she directly took them back.
But suddenly, the takeout machine placed on the table made a sound.
Hmm? Nüwa slightly furrowed her brows, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, she sat upright, picked up the takeout machine, and opened it.
What met her eyes was the information on the homepage about Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
Luxurious, abundant, incredibly appetizing,
Exactly the same as her previous menu!
For this dish, she could already describe it as constantly on her mind.
"Finally out."
Nüwa couldn't help but softly exclaim, her voice carrying a faint tremor; one can imagine her inner excitement at this moment.
"Empress, what came out?"
Xuan Feng looked at Nüwa with a curious face; she had already stored away the takeout machine earlier, so she didn't know.
"Manager Chen will launch the new dish Buddha Jumps Over the Wall tomorrow—this takeout machine's notification says so."
Nüwa said, waving her hand casually.
Upon hearing this, Xuan Feng hurriedly pulled out his food delivery app to check.
Indeed!
Clearly displayed on it was Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!
However... Xuan Feng's pupils shrank slightly—this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is so expensive, it's actually ten times the price of a regular dish!
With a limited-time 90% discount, nine times the price is still no ordinary expense!
Unlike Xuan Feng, Nüwa is wealthy and unbothered; this price had no effect on her whatsoever.
Holy Person's power is nothing more than basic sustenance to her—she can have as much as she wants, and she pays no attention to discounts, but to something else entirely.
No proxy purchases, no takeout.
"Only available for in-store purchase."
Nüwa murmured softly.
A trace of something inexplicable flashed in her captivating eyes.
Shopkeeper Chen, are we finally going to meet? The corner of her vermilion lips twitched imperceptibly upward.
"Then let me see—just what kind of divine being are you?"
Tai Bai Jin Xing rushed into the Qin Zheng Dian in a hurry; his usually kind brows and eyes now held a hint of joy, his long beard fluttering in the wind and flung behind him.
Hearing the commotion, Haotian furrowed his brow, his face displeased, and said in a deep voice: "Didn't I say before, when I'm busy, I don't want to be disturbed?"
Had it been an ordinary immortal, they might have been frightened into retreating, but Tai Bai Jin Xing, a seasoned veteran who's weathered countless storms and also a loyal subject of Haotian, naturally had greater courage—he cut straight to the point and directly reported what he needed to say.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Chaos Residence has just launched a new product!"
Tai Bai Jin Xing reported this with an excited expression.
A new product?!
Upon hearing this, Haotian's heart jolted; the imperial edict in his hand showed no hesitation as he slammed it directly onto the desk, not even glancing at it again, as if his earlier focused demeanor had been mere empty talk.
"What new product has been launched? How did you find out?"
Haotian snapped his gaze toward Tai Bai Jin Xing and urgently asked.
"Just now, I suddenly heard the food delivery app make an unusual sound, so I picked it up and saw—a new image had appeared on it, exactly the announcement of the new dish!
Starting tomorrow."
Tai Bai Jin Xing flicked his duster and told Haotian everything in full detail.
That makes sense.
Haotian nodded, without hesitation pulling out his own food delivery app, he placed his order and immediately stored it away, thus hearing nothing unusual.
Upon opening it, sure enough—it really was the new dish!
