Chapter 357

Chen Nuo narrowed his eyes: "What do you think?"

Tianpeng broke out in a sweat; Chen the shopkeeper's posture clearly meant you should gauge it yourself.

After a moment of inner turmoil, Tianpeng finally made up his mind.

"Then give me one."

A flicker of pain crossed Tianpeng's face; he still didn't dare show it so openly in front of Chen the shopkeeper, or else if Chen targeted him, it wouldn't be good.

"I, I want it too."

Seeing Tianpeng buy it, Xiong Dao Ren, who aspired to learn from Tianpeng, also shouted out.

Xiong Dao Ren didn't even consider the price; as long as Peng Ge had it, he would definitely go after it too!

"Alright, the money's already been deducted."

Chen Nuo said gently.

Tianpeng unconsciously shivered.

The words "the money's already been deducted" — ever since he entered the shop, he didn't know how many times he'd heard them; they'd already become a conditioned reflex.

Chen Nuo's heart stirred, and he used magic to lift two takeout machines directly in front of Tianpeng and Xiong Dao Ren: "Here, take them."

Tianpeng reluctantly took the takeout machine, opened it following the method the Two Demons had said, fiddled with the images on it, and his eyes showed a hint of novelty.

This thing seems pretty fun.

Pressing the transmission stone tablet, Tianpeng whispered softly: "Chen the shopkeeper, Chen the shopkeeper, can you hear me?"

Chen Nuo, not far away, twitched the corner of his mouth, speechless in his heart.

"I'm not deaf, how could I not hear?"

Chen Nuo rolled his eyes.

"No, I mean, can Chen the shopkeeper hear you using this takeout machine?"

Tianpeng nodded and smirked.

"You can hear it."

These things have all been tested by the system and him personally; there's no way anything could go wrong.

"Then that's good."

Tianpeng carefully put away the takeout machine; this isn't just any ordinary expensive item, you can't buy a defective one.

"Come on, come on!

Eat, eat."

Peng Demon King, seeing that things were about ready, opened his mouth to greet them.

As these words were spoken, the gazes of the Three Demons and Tianpeng all turned to the soup bowls in front of them.

The patterns were beautiful, the shape exquisite.

Tianpeng frowned slightly.

This soup bowl isn't that big; I doubt it can hold much food. Why on earth did Chen the shopkeeper price this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall at ten times!

Let him find out for himself!

Tianpeng thought this in his heart, and together with the Three Demons, he lifted the lid.

Hiss... as a small sound rang out, four streams of hot steam rose, making the entire Chaos Residence seem like a celestial realm on cloud peaks, illusory and ethereal.

The Three Demons and Tianpeng, in unison, took a deep breath, and then their faces all showed signs of intoxication.

Fragrant!

It's too fragrant!

Tianpeng only felt his heart and mind sink into it.

Although it was fragrant like the others, it differed from all the dishes Chen the shopkeeper had made before; if one wanted to sum it up in words, there was only one term.

Sea Embraces All Rivers!

The Three Demons were still dazed, but Tianpeng first came to his senses from the aroma, picked up the soup spoon, and stirred it in the small cup; such an expensive thing, if just gulped down whole, would really be a loss; it's better to savor it carefully.

Just the golden broth alone showed this dish's extraordinary nature; as the spoon turned, abalone, tendon, and quail egg rolled with it, gathering everything from water, land, and sky into this one small cup — it's not just the phrase "Sea Embraces All Rivers" that can describe it.

Peng Demon King picked up the soup spoon, scooped out an abalone and put it in his mouth; the abalone's fresh fragrance immediately burst forth in his mouth; the whole piece of abalone meat, upon touching his teeth, bounced from one tooth to another.

After chewing a few times, Peng Demon King felt his scalp tingle from the freshness, yet he couldn't stop his mouth; he didn't care about anything else, immediately picked up the spoon again and gulped down several spoonfuls, while letting out a huge sigh from his nostrils — it's really too delicious!

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, indeed it is Buddha Jumps Over the Wall; even if the Buddha smelled this flavor, he would jump over the wall to come eat.

After eating until only a little broth remained in the cup, Peng Demon King reluctantly put down the spoon, wanting to see how the others were eating; he lifted his head, and Tianpeng was still holding the spoon, stirring there; Peng Demon King asked him, "How come? You're not eating?"

Tianpeng looked at Peng Demon King's eager hand, quickly lifted his own small cup, fearing this demon would snatch his: "I don't know what's wrong, I always feel that if I start eating, I'll definitely finish without even tasting a bit of flavor; better to be cautious."

Peng Demon King looked at the bit of spoon in his own cup, then at Tianpeng's small cup still untouched, his eyes greedy beyond bearing, and he spoke angrily:

"Hurry up and eat; after you finish, you can buy again; when has Chen the shopkeeper ever shortchanged you on eating?"

"As you say."

Tianpeng finished speaking, lifted his small cup, and drank it down; after one gulp, he was just like when he first ate braised pork — he even licked the utensils clean, inside as good as new.

The Three Demons and Tianpeng were no strangers to eating Chen Nuo's dishes, but the flavor of this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was indeed extraordinary; in a daze, these few felt as if they had returned to the beginning, to the first time they ate Chen Nuo's cooking.

Chen Nuo watched these few in their intoxicated state, feeling a bit nauseous.

Three monsters and a burly general, with the expression of having taken spring medicine, really not a pretty sight, even if these people were like this because they ate his food.

"Chen the shopkeeper"

The Three Demons and Tianpeng spoke at the same time: "Can we have another serving?"

"Yes."

Chen Nuo nodded: "Just pay."

One sentence pulled them back from dream to reality; although Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was truly delicious, it was indeed too expensive; if they ate another serving, they wouldn't know when they'd get to eat it again, so they could only sigh: "Then let's wait until next time."

Chen Nuo snorted coldly and walked out.

After Chen Nuo left, the Three Demons and Tianpeng all sighed in unison, sitting around the table gazing at the empty small cups, Tianpeng lifted the bowl, thinking he wanted to smell the lingering aroma inside once more.

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall truly lives up to its name; even though he had licked the cup completely clean, the fragrance inside seemed as if it had just been opened. Tianpeng kept sniffing, and suddenly a golden light flashed in his mind.

The golden light was blinding to the extreme, as if it wanted to pierce through him from inside out.

Immediately, Xiong Dao Ren beside him also let out a cry of surprise, and at the same time, golden light pierced through his eyes and instantly enveloped his entire body.

Chen Nuo stood beneath the Enlightenment Tea Tree, seeing not far off the small hut emitting golden light; it seemed these few had decent comprehension, so their third divine awakening was inevitable.

The effect of this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is so good, it would be a waste not to use all those rare ingredients he had prepared.

Anyway, they still need some time to attain the Dao, so the remaining time can be used for him to slowly study how to make this Enlightenment Milk Tea well.

Chen Nuo waved his hand, plucked the tender shoots of the Enlightenment Tea Tree and stored them in his space; making milk tea is easy, the key is stir-frying the tea, and he has Nezha's Three Flavors True Fire—these tiny tea leaves pose no challenge to him.

After putting away the Three Flavors True Fire, the tea aroma in the pot had already wafted out; the black tea fragrance is rich and mellow, and the milk tea made from it, even if he failed, would not be undrinkable... However... thinking this, Chen Nuo chuckled lightly—he has cooked for so long and never once messed up; he could even make Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, so this little milk tea shouldn't make him fear failure? He first placed the stir-fried tea leaves into his space, then left some out to prepare for the milk tea experiment. Chen Nuo hooked his fingers, and milk and sugar already appeared before the stove.

In his previous life, he had watched many short videos, so naturally he had seen this milk tea tutorial before.
