The water gurgles, and the mountain flowers are reflected on it, exuding a brilliant feeling.

There were people by the stream, one was working and the other was watching them working.

Mr. Chen was preparing the ingredients. In addition to the mercury fish, he also hunted a wind-catching leopard, which weighed over 100 pounds and had firm meat that contained powerful spiritual power.

Kill the fish, cut the meat, clean the internal organs, and the red blood will flow away with the water, leaving no fishy smell around.

"Who would have thought that the two high-ranking officials in the Black Abyss Prison would be so leisurely."

The warden's heart is at peace, and everywhere he looks is beautiful mountains and rivers. It is a different state of mind from staying in the abyss prison all day.

This feeling is really good.

“Gurgle…”

The fire burned fiercely, and two palm-sized earthenware jars were almost engulfed in flames. The stream water inside was churning violently, and smoke rose up, floating three feet away before dissipating.

"When it's time to practice, practice; when it's time to relax, relax."

Mr. Chen put the mercury fish into the earthenware jar, and then put in a mushroom grass and three other different spiritual herbs.

then……

The floating smoke gradually changed, becoming much thicker and taking on an indescribable fragrance.

He looked serene as he stirred the clay pot with a wooden spoon to allow the flavors of the ingredients and the spiritual herbs to better blend.

"Your cooking skills are really good."

The warden was very simple when it came to food, but he was a high-ranking member of the Guangxiu Immortal Sect after all, and had eaten a lot of good food. Even from a high-level perspective, Chen Sheng's level of making fish soup was top-notch.

"If you see it more, you will learn something."

Chen Sheng estimated that it would take about half an hour to boil the mercury fish until its bones and flesh turned into water and the spiritual herbs dissolved.

So he took a step forward to deal with the flesh and blood of the Wind-Catching Leopard.

“Swish, swish, swish…”

Chen Sheng used a stone to sharpen a small stone knife and cut the flesh of the wind-catching leopard into very thick pieces.

He built another fire, skewered the meat, and grilled it over it.

The seasoning is Junshencao and dozens of other spiritual herbs that are dried and crushed into powder. They are sprinkled on the food and burned by the flames, giving off a strong aroma that goes well with the barbecue, reaching a sublime level.

“This is a treat.”

The warden waited.

After half an hour, the fish soup in the earthenware pot was ready. It was thick and white, and a little sticky. When the wooden spoon was stirred, no residue was seen, but it was all melted.

Mr. Chen served the warden a large bowl of mercury fish soup and placed a large pot of barbecue on the stone table, then stopped preparing anything else.

"call……"

He picked up his bowl of fish soup, took a sip, and then gulped down half of the bowl.

Delicious!

It is rich and fragrant, without any fishy smell. When it falls into the stomach, it is like a warm dragon energy spreading out from the body, and every inch of flesh and blood in the body exudes a sense of comfort.

"With this skill, you can be successful wherever you go."

The warden praised the mercury fish soup highly. He had not tasted such a delicious fish soup for a long time. He was so addicted to it that he didn't want to waste even a single bite.

"That's good too."

Mr. Chen used a knife to poke a piece of barbecue, swallowed it in one gulp, his cheeks bulging, and after chewing a few bites, he felt a great sense of satisfaction.

I couldn't help it and took a few more bites.

The warden was inspired and tried it as well, which triggered a new round of praise.

The experiment was successful.

After returning to the Black Abyss Prison, Chen Sheng gave the recipe of the medicinal food to Ling Jian and asked him to find a real chef to teach him so as to support the restaurant.

…

One month later.

Star Travel Fairy House.

This is a large market town with rich spiritual energy, which has attracted wandering cultivators from thousands of miles around to flock in. As the number of people increased, the land price naturally soared, which means that every inch of land is worth a lot of money.

Especially when looking from the edge to the center, the architectural style evolves from simple to luxurious on this span line, which is very obvious.

In the most central area, various buildings are built in a simple and majestic style, like a fairy palace, which is hard to imagine for ordinary monks.

The Yan Tower run by Ling Jian and Su Lin was opened in the most valuable place. It was elegantly built and looked extremely noble.

"The Banquet of the God of Fungi, something that almost existed in the classics, has reappeared now?"

"If it's true, then we have to be extravagant."

"What's fake can't be real, and what's real can't be fake."

…

The Yan Tower rises abruptly from the ground, attracting a lot of attention, especially after it became known as the "Mushroom God Banquet", it seems that everyone knows it.

Today is the opening day of Yan Tower. The gate is surrounded by monks, who are talking about something.

When the auspicious time came, a plump middle-aged man with a kind face came out, as if he was smiling all the time.

"Everyone, since Yanlou dares to call itself a mushroom feast, it is not afraid of you coming to eat."

Shopkeeper Long knew Yanlou's details and was confident in his actions. He waved his hand and said, "Please..."

This is open to welcome guests.

Among the crowd, some were hesitant, but there were also some generous diners who wanted to find out the details of the Mushroom God Banquet.

"Master, if you want to eat something, just ask them to bring it to your house. Why bother making an extra trip?"

In Yan Tower, there were two people sitting at a table. Both of them were old and white-haired. However, one had a respectful posture and the other had a dignified look. It was obvious that they were in a master and servant relationship.

Manager Deng has served the master of Xingyoufang for his entire life. Although he is a slave, being a personal servant is different and he can be considered a big shot in the outside world.

Therefore, he looked down upon the newly opened Yanlou with a condescending attitude.

"Yanlou, you didn't say hello to me."

Xingyoufangzhu smiled, but not much, and it was obvious that he was concerned about this matter.

"ah……"

Manager Deng exclaimed, not pretending, "How dare they be so bold?!"

In Xingyou Xianfang, if you want to make money, you must pass their master's test and send him money as a tribute.

"Not necessarily. It could be a powerful dragon passing through."

Although Xingyoufangzhu is greedy, he is not arrogant. The fact that he built a market from scratch shows how meticulous he is.

The Yan Tower was really simple. If no one had come to see it on the day it was built, it would have caught fire and burned down at night.

"Master, where did the powerful dragon come from?"

Hearing this, the lamp manager became a little cautious and did not foolishly belittle or praise anything, as that would easily touch upon taboos.

"From the Guangxiu Immortal Sect."

Xingyoufangzhu thought about it.

"Master, the Immortal Sect is naturally famous, but not everyone is as powerful as them. Are we really going to put up with this?"

Manager Deng spoke carefully. Having been with the owner of Xingyoufang for a long time, he had some knowledge, such as the origin of the immortal sect. However, people like "fireworkers" would still be bullied.

"Didn't I come to see you today?"

When the owner of Xingyoufang came to see such a merchant who didn't know the rules, he naturally didn't send his blessings, but to spy on and examine the details of Yanlou.

Otherwise, that would be overturning the table.

"Master, my master will come over today, please wait for a moment."

At the same time, Shopkeeper Long came over and revealed a piece of news.

As early as ten days ago, the owner of Xingyoufang had proposed to visit the real boss of Yanlou, but he refused. After some discussion, they finally decided on today and offered to make a brief introduction.

After a few words, he left without wasting much time.

"Master, Yanlou is a bit unruly."

Manager Deng heard clearly that Manager Long used words like "introduce" and "etc.", which are the words that big people use to talk to small people.

As for Yanlou, it clearly placed itself in a high position, overlooking the Xingyoufang City.

"Yes, this makes me afraid to act rashly."

The master of Xingyoufang had a unchanged expression. He had not been in the Xianfang for many years and had been neglected, or rather, treated indifferently.

He felt a little uncomfortable, but also very fearful. The person who dared to act like this could only mean that the person behind Yan Lou might be in a very high position in Guangxiu Xianzong.

Next, it’s time to wait quietly.

Xingyoufangshi and Manager Deng ordered a table of mushroom feast. I have to say it was great value for money and tasted great. It was a rare experience.

Half an hour later.

Two figures appeared in Yan Tower, both wearing black robes. Their faces were different, but their aura was somewhat similar, deep and grand.

"Warden!"

"grown ups!"

At this time, Yanlou is the busiest. Every seat is filled with guests and the staff is busy.

But when the two men arrived, they were still received warmly. Shopkeeper Long and his servants surrounded them.

A breath or two later, Ling Jian and Su Lin also appeared. They looked friendly, as if they were welcoming their superiors. They invited Chen Sheng and the warden to the box in the back.

"There are two more people above the shopkeeper. They never came over to say hello."

Butler Deng is good at observing people's words and expressions. He can tell that Su Lin and Ling Jian's status is far higher than that of Shopkeeper Long. He can see it from the subtle details.

He glanced at his master covertly. He had been sitting here for a while. The senior executives of Yanlou were clearly there, but they just didn't come out to pay attention.

After all, it's a bit disrespectful.

"very good……"

Xingyoufangzhu forced out two words, but did not do anything drastic. Instead, he became more cautious, suppressing his anger and waiting for a chance to vent, or to simply calm down.

It depends on whether the people behind Yanlou are strong enough.

"Not bad, it looks good."

Mr. Chen was led into a private room, which was decorated with carved beams and painted buildings, hollow window sills, etc., which was extremely ingenious. There were bright pearls hanging on the ceiling, which shone softly and brightly. It must have cost a lot of money and thought.

"The money is flowing in like water, and it feels more profitable than exploring secret places."

Su Lin looked very excited. It had only been an hour since the business opened, but the numbers on the account were already looking good.

For the first time, he felt how profitable business was. It was much more comfortable than begging for food in the midst of blood and gore.

This situation was caused by Chen Sheng's plan and the book of medicinal food recipes. After reading them, the chef in the kitchen was so amazed that he said that Yanlou would definitely be a big hit.

The fact is that as soon as the Mushroom God Banquet was launched, it attracted a huge crowd and became an instant hit.

"Hurry up and arrange a table for me and the warden, and you guys can come too."

Mr. Chen had no intention of listening to Yan Lou's business, but the three Dark Blade captains and the warden were in the same room, so it was worth getting together.

"Warden, what do you mean?"

Ling Jian and Su Lin naturally had no objections. They were not treated like Chen Sheng and had a cheerful chat with the warden. Every time they met, they were either reporting or receiving orders. It was a simple superior-subordinate relationship.

If you can break through this level of restriction, some friendships would naturally be what you want.

"Since the Qing Emperor has said so, you should do as he says. Or do you dislike an old man like me?"

The warden nodded, and a rare hint of gentleness appeared on his cold and hard face, which surprised Su Lin and Ling Jian. In their impression, this man was as cold and hard as iron, so he didn't have a gentle side.

After realizing what was happening, the two of them quickly replied, "No, we'll arrange it right away."

No matter what, sitting at the same table with your boss and chatting and laughing is a rare experience.

From now on, there will be no need to take too much care. As long as the warden can remember some good things, it will be enough to make a decision.

The food for this table came quickly and was very sumptuous, filling up the entire table.

Su Lin and Ling Jian were very busy serving soup to the warden and also bringing a bowl to Mr. Chen.

"It doesn't feel as good as what you did."

The warden took a sip of the fish soup, which had the unique aroma of Junshencao and tasted delicious, but he thought of Chen Sheng's mercury fish soup and shook his head, thinking it was not as good.

"It still tastes better than mine."

Mr. Chen thought it was good, but he was not a chef and he couldn't grasp the details of the taste and flavor.

"You have handled the balance of medicinal food very well. I think no one can surpass you."

The warden pointed out the key point: the difference between Chen Sheng’s medicinal diet and Yan Lou’s medicinal diet is not in the taste, but in the ingredients and spiritual herbs.

That kind of balance and perfect fusion is something that the chef at Yanlou cannot achieve, there is a world of difference.

"Brother Chen, where did the recipe for the medicinal diet come from?"

Su Lin and Ling Jian were confused, but they also knew that Chen Sheng's craftsmanship was extraordinary. The former had an idea in his mind.

After several explanations from the chef, he knew the power of the medicinal diet recipe, but he didn't know where it came from.

"I made it up."

Chen Sheng said casually.

"hiss……"

Su Lin took a deep breath. The recipe for the medicinal food was indeed from Chen Sheng's hand. This could explain why the warden admired Chen Sheng's cooking skills.

The taste of food is of course important, but since it is called "medicinal food", its effectiveness is the most important thing.

From a high-level perspective, the warden was right. Mr. Chen's cooking skills were definitely better than those of the chef at Yanlou.

"Don't dwell on such trivial matters."

Mr. Chen signaled everyone to pick up their chopsticks. The medicinal food on the table was the result of the chef's hard work. It was indeed good and must be eaten up.

Seeing him like this, everyone stopped talking and just started eating.

After eating, they sat and talked for an incense stick of time. Then Shopkeeper Deng came in and whispered something in Su Lin's mouth.

"Yanlou really doesn't have much background, and everyone wants to test it out."

Su Lin told him about the matter of the Star Travel Master several times, but he didn't want to pay attention to it. But today, he really had to meet him in person, so as not to affect Yanlou in the future.

"It's a simple matter. Let the warden write a new plaque and hang it at the gate. It will deter all the scoundrels."

When a high-level monk writes, the spirit and energy left on the object can intimidate foreign enemies or even kill them.

Mr. Chen can do it too. At least the Star Tour Master can tell at a glance that he is someone he cannot afford to offend.

"this……"

Su Lin and the other person thought that this was a good suggestion, but they didn't dare to say anything. They didn't have the face to order the warden to do something and spend a lot of energy writing.

Chen Sheng and the warden were like old friends. They didn't need to be reserved about some things and could just talk about them jokingly without any psychological burden.
