He poured tea for the cat and Xu Yan.

The cat got straight to the point: "I need to talk to you about something."

"Let's just say it," Tan Zheng said. There was no need for such boring formalities between them.

Cat said, "I've decided to open a top-tier luxury restaurant, but Chen Doudou's abilities aren't sufficient to be a chef at that level. I remember that Cemen used to have someone in charge of the imperial kitchen; does that still exist?"

Tan Zheng was a little surprised because the cat's idea was indeed very bold.

He immediately asked, "It's not that no one has tried to set up a restaurant of this caliber; on the contrary, many have failed because of various factors. They couldn't reproduce the true essence of top-tier Chinese cuisine and ended up just going through the motions. I advise you not to."

The cat, however, looked at Tan Zheng.

"I brought some things with me, take a look first and then decide."

The bodyguard came in and put down more than twenty food containers, which were filled with the freshest vegetables and fruits.

Tan Zheng couldn't help but pick a grape and taste it, then stared at the cat in shock, "This, this..."

He knew it must be a spiritual plant; he could even smell its fragrance.

However, it's no secret that cats can grow spiritual plants, but what surprised him now was that these grapes were really delicious!

He even had a strong urge to grab the whole bunch of grapes and eat them without a care for appearances! He barely managed to control that thought.

It has a rich flavor and a strong aroma, which is completely different from the ingredients in 7+1, and even different from Cat Food No. 1! It's not even in the same league!

"How could this be?" Tan Zheng couldn't understand it at all.

The cat said, "That's it. I need a chef who truly understands top-notch cuisine to handle these ingredients."

Tan Zheng's attention was drawn to other food storage containers, as they remained unopened. "What's this?"

The cat said, "Grains."

Tan Zheng: "Is it also a spiritual plant?"

The cat nodded.

Before 7+1, we didn't grow grains; we bought them from other sources. This is the first time the cat has taken out grains.

Tan Zheng immediately understood; the cat was well-prepared, only lacking a chef.

Just then, Grandpa Tan walked over. While tasting the fruit that Maomao had brought, he said, "I've heard your conversation. Maomao, I can find the person you want."

Tan Zheng looked at her grandfather, "Is that Old Qiao? Hasn't he stayed away from the kitchen for twenty years?"

Grandpa Tan chuckled, “When a swordsman stops wielding his sword, it’s not because he can’t wield it anymore, but because he has no opponent.”

Tan Zheng understood. So, the reason why Old Master Qiao didn't go near the kitchen was because no one in the world appreciated such a top-notch feast anymore.

The cat asked, "So, there really are people like that?"

Grandpa Tan nodded, "Yes, there is. I can introduce you, but the old man is stubborn. I'm afraid even I can't persuade him. Cat, if you are really sincere, you still have to go by yourself."

The cat immediately agreed, "Okay, you can pass on a message for me, and I can come over anytime."

After that, the cat left without lingering.

Of course, she couldn't just take the things she brought with her; they all stayed at the Tan family's residence.

Grandpa Tan couldn't help but say, "Cat has grown up a lot and is much more composed now."

Tan Zheng continued playing his game.

Then Old Master Tan said, "How come you haven't made any progress? Old Master Qiao is a treasure of the sect, and now we're about to give him away."

Tan Zheng said, "Grandpa, didn't you say that the Eight Gates are inseparable? Haven't I been following your lead?"

Old Master Tan glanced at him and said, "Keep talking nonsense. I'm handing the book business over to you, so don't squander it all."

Old Master Tan was clearly well-mannered; even when he was angry, he didn't say anything harsh.

He ate some of the fruit the cat had brought, and then went to listen to everyone playing music.

Tan Zheng played the game for a while, but became increasingly impatient. In the end, she simply turned off the game, took off her headphones, grabbed her coat, and went out.

He rode a motorcycle to Mu Jin's warehouse. The huge aquarium was still there, but other fish were now inside; the big white fish were gone.

In the huge warehouse, there was only Nan Jue, but he was sleeping in broad daylight, looking extremely tired.

Everyone seems to be like this these days, except for Tan Zheng who has some free time.

He didn't help much with the cat's situation, which made him feel quite uncomfortable.

Today, it was actually the cat who took the initiative to go to him. Just as his grandfather said, the cat has grown up a lot and become more mature.

Sometimes, he felt that Maomao and Mu Jin were really similar; on one hand, they seemed to be living a carefree life, but on the other hand, they did things that no one could even imagine.

Tan Zheng was already used to Mu Jin. From a very young age, he had accepted that among their playmates there was a god, and that they should not treat him as a normal person.

But he never imagined that there would be a second god in this world, namely, the cat.

Ye Mingshi started practicing medicine at the hospital, and within just ten days, he gained both fame and fortune. Ye Hua Hospital was also greatly promoted by Ye Mingshi.

Gu Zeyi has been busy with the handover of his duties recently and will soon officially take office as the director of the Archives Bureau. I haven't been able to see him for a while.

It had been a long time since the group of them had gotten together to play games.

He genuinely thought he could live his life like this, living carefree and unrestrained, but unexpectedly, everyone started to take things seriously.

He alone might really squander the entire temple.

Tan Zheng lay on the sofa without any regard for his image, seriously considering for the first time whether he should do something too.
