If Yu Wuwei knew what the God of Cookery was thinking at the moment, he would definitely laugh and say: You're overthinking it!
After seeing the God of Cookery happily agree, Yu Wuwei nodded and said, "Also, when you grow chili peppers in the future, don't forget to give me some."
The God of Cookery immediately nodded and replied, "Of course, of course!"
Yu Wuwei was teaching and learning at the same time, and both were very satisfied with the results.
They were having a pleasant conversation when suddenly, there was a noise on the other side.
"What's going on?" Yu Wuwei and the God of Food looked at each other and immediately returned to the main hall, only to see that Zhang Guolao had actually started a fight with those naughty kids, while Lan Caihe was standing aside with a pained look on his face.
"Excuse me, Fellow Daoist Lan, what is going on?" Yu Wuwei asked curiously.
"Uh...this..." Lan Caihe thought about it for a long time, and finally told the reason with a painful look on his face.
It turned out that Zhang Guolao ate quickly and soon finished his own portion of barbecue.
Before he started eating, Zhang Guolao was able to remain rational and not argue with a group of kids. But when he was halfway through eating and was in high spirits, his appetite suddenly disappeared and he couldn't eat anymore. This was torture.
The naughty kid was so distracted by watching cartoons that he ate slowly and left a lot of food.
When Zhang Guolao saw that they still had so many skewers, he couldn't resist his foodie nature and started fighting with the children for them.
These naughty kids don’t care who you are or what you are. They actually dared to rob them. Of course, I don’t want to do that!
"Hey, old man on the donkey, you've already eaten forty skewers, much more than us, and you're still trying to snatch it from us?"
"That's right, you old man, actually competed with a bunch of kids like us. Isn't it shameful?"
"That's right, you shameless old man! How could you be so shameless! Guys, quickly protect our barbecue! We can't let this shameless old man take it away!"
The two groups of naughty kids joined hands for the first time and faced the outside world in unison, refusing to bow their heads.
Zhang Guolao, as expected, threw all his pride into the air and started to speak: "Hey, why are you kids eating so much? You should respect the elderly. There are so many of you, so just give me a few skewers each!"
Upon hearing this, Lan Caihe on the side had already turned his head away and held his forehead with his hand, as if to say, "I don't know this guy, he is not one of us Eight Immortals!"
"Stop it!" Yu Wuwei shouted immediately after seeing this. "No fighting or snatching of food is allowed in this restaurant."
Upon hearing this, the naughty kids acted like they had found a savior. They rushed behind Yu Wuwei and complained, "Goddess, please help us! That shameless old man actually stole our food!"
"Exactly. He ate forty skewers himself, and he still tried to steal twenty from us!"
"That's right, this old man is really bad. You should spank him, just like you spanked me that day..."
"Ahem! Immortal, you must not let him go. This old man is too evil!"
Listening to these naughty kids complaining, Yu Wuwei couldn't help but twitch his lips. He stepped forward and said, "My fellow Taoist, your beard and hair are almost black. Isn't it shameful to snatch food from a bunch of naughty kids?"
Zhang Guolao's face flushed with shame, but after such a commotion, he finally calmed down.
This is so embarrassing!
"Ahem! What the Immortal said makes sense. I... I, an old man, was just joking with them, to lighten the mood after dinner. Right, right! Lighten the mood! Haha! Haha!"
Zhang Guolao smiled apologetically, and his embarrassed expression was so strong that even a child could tell how fake his words were!
"Tsk~~" Seeing Zhang Guolao admitting his defeat in an instant, the naughty kids booed and immediately returned to their seats.
After the fight with Zhang Guolao just now, the naughty kids felt very sad that they missed a lot of the plot.
However, even though they sat back down, they all kept their distance from Zhang Guolao, and looked at him with vigilance. Who knew when this shameless old man would sneak up on them?
Thinking of this, the naughty kids ate even faster, finishing the barbecue in their hands in no time to prevent future troubles, and then concentrated on watching cartoons.
Zhang Guolao's eyes were filled with greed, regret and reluctance, and were extremely complicated.
At this time, Lan Caihe also spoke up: "Alright, Zhang Guolao, we have finished eating. It is time to go back and report to the Jade Emperor."
He didn't want Zhang Guolao to stay here any longer. If he made any more trouble, the Eight Immortals would lose all their face.
When Zhang Guolao saw that he could no longer enjoy the delicious food, he looked as if he had lost all desire to live. He thought it was better for him to leave, so that he wouldn't be annoyed.
Seeing the two immortals walking towards the door, Yu Wuwei hurriedly called out to them: "Hey, stop!"
Zhang Guolao and Lan Caihe turned around upon hearing this and asked doubtfully, "Is there anything else, Immortal Wuming?"
Yu Wuwei tried to widen his eyes and said, "Did you two forget something? Don't you know you have to pay for meals at a restaurant? Why do you want to dine for free?"
A naughty kid nearby heard the words "free meal" and quickly turned around and said, "Free meal, spanking!"
"Yes, Immortal, spank them, especially that shameless old man riding the donkey, spank him hard!"
Obviously, they were still resentful of Zhang Guolao for stealing their food just now, and they really wanted to see him get spanked.
Zhang Guolao and Lan Caihe were somewhat bewildered upon hearing this. Finally, Zhang Guolao stepped forward and said with a dry laugh, "Shangxian, do immortals like you and me still care about those yellow and white things?"
Yu Wuwei shook his head and said, "I'm not particularly interested in those yellow and white things, but I just don't want to encourage the unhealthy trend of always wanting to get something for nothing. Whoever gets it has to pay a price, and I can't let you guys just get away with nothing."
"Yeah, that's right. You even have to pay us for our meals with toys! You're such big shots, but you don't even pay for meals. You're so shameless!"
The naughty kids continued to finish off the enemy, and Yu Wuwei silently gave them a thumbs up in his heart.
Zhang Guolao smiled awkwardly upon hearing this and said, "But, Immortal, we have been enlightened for tens of thousands of years and have never touched those yellow and white things. I really don't have any money on me!"
Lan Caihe also nodded in agreement. He also hadn't touched money for tens of thousands of years.
Yu Wuwei pretended to be silent for a moment before speaking, "I can't force you to do anything. Since you don't have the money, then use something else to pay off the debt! Magical weapons, immortal objects, or anything else will do. I'm not picky. Although your things are of no use to me, you still have to pay something. You can't get something for nothing."
Zhang Guolao and Lan Caihe felt their whole bodies when they heard this. They had just returned from a mission to report back, and they were exhausted and didn't bring anything with them. They couldn't possibly hand over their own life-saving magic weapons, could they?
