Bai He’s "Vegetable Soup" was the first to be completed.
Zuzi and Bao Gucheng sat at the square table in the store, first tasting this "Vegetable Soup."
"Ancestor Master, does it taste good?"
Zuzi took two small sips and put it down.
Bai He’s eyes were almost red; did Ancestor Master not like this flavor?
Otherwise, why would she only drink two small sips?
Bao Gucheng glanced over but said nothing.
The little woman was already doing a big favor for Xiao Bailian, considering she usually only tries one small bite of everything.
But he didn’t say anything, letting Xiao Bailian worry a little more, ha.
Bai He held back and finally asked, "Ancestor Master, doesn’t it taste good?"
Zuzi: "Not at all, it’s very good."
Bai He’s little heart felt like it went on a roller coaster ride!
She excitedly introduced it, starting with pride: "This is the ’Immortal Jumping Wall’ I’ve ntioned before, all vegetarian, with a recipe I developed myself."
Zhou Youjian heard this in the kitchen, took a deep breath, and thought the vegetable soup really was refreshingly unique, unlike the bland soups of ordinary restaurants. This young girl has so real talent.
However, his Shihui Jian’s 108-course banquet would be even more stunning!
Amidst a flurry of activity, the banquet dishes were finally ready.
The chefs of Shihui Jian brought out the dishes one by one, gathering them on the restaurant’s square table, setting them one by one... the 70th dish, the 71st dish, the 72nd dish...
The dazzling array of exotic foods left people dazzled!
"Squirrel Mandarin Fish, Young Pigeon, Wen Si Tofu, Boiled Cabbage, Tiger and Phoenix Battle, Lion’s Head atball..."
The nas of the dishes were simple, yet they whetted the appetite.
Zuzi, as usual, picked a few interesting ones and tried a small bite.
Xi Rubao, however, didn’t skip any dish, sampling them all, and after trying more than 70 dishes, his belly was rounder than a basketball.
Zhou Youjian was particularly proud.
Teacher Cao Yu seed to really like their dishes. Even if they closed down tomorrow, today they finally t soone who truly appreciated their creations.
Too full to live-stream, Xi Rubao recorded a short video and uploaded it to the "Qing Bo" app.
"Burp! Wait a sec, I just have one question, it seems like these dishes aren’t the full 108 as claid, sothing’s missing..."
Zhou Youjian: "Ahem, Teacher Cao Yu, you’re right, we... so have been lost..."
Xi Rubao felt a bit regretful: "If all 108 courses were complete, this video would definitely go viral, but now with more than 30 dishes missing, I’m afraid netizens will criticize it as incomplete and inauthentic, which might bring negative feedback."
Zhou Youjian sighed deeply: "Alas, the Ancestors didn’t pass them down, we really are powerless."
It’s like not being able to pay rent when a store’s lease is due, or loyal custors being lured away to the neighboring French restaurant—situations he can’t control or reverse.
Xi Rubao sighed along with him: "Netizens are very strict, especially foodies, they’re very particular. What are we going to do with this incomplete nu? I’ll think of sothing..."
Amidst the sighs, Zuzi’s calm, lazy voice slowly ca through: "In that case, Ancestor will give you so guidance to complete your incomplete nu, even more spiritual than your ancestral recipes."
An... Ancestor?
Zhou Youjian was startled.
But seeing Xi Rubao and Bai He both showed great respect for Zuzi, and even Bao Gucheng was doing nothing but sitting beside Zuzi, preparing her food, peeling shrimp, picking fish bones, choosing tender tips of vegetables...
