However, my junior uncle once said that since we are in the service industry, we should greet every customer with a smile.
We should naturally listen to what our junior uncle says.
But forgetting one or two words occasionally shouldn't be a big deal, right?
Jing Lei decided to selectively forget his junior uncle's warning to the guests that watermelon rinds shouldn't be eaten.
"Tap tap tap tap..."
After composing himself, Jing Lei knocked on the door of the private room with a smile.
Upon hearing the voice, Huanfeng apologized to his advisor and said, "Please come in."
As Jing Lei pushed open the door, he saw a Taoist priest with a long, snow-white beard sitting expressionlessly in the main seat.
Even though one was sitting and the other was standing, Jing Lei could clearly see the Taoist's nostrils.
After placing the plates on the table, Jing Lei smiled and said, "This is the first dessert—watermelon smoothie and watermelon ice cream. Please enjoy, distinguished guests."
After saying that, he politely left the room.
Huanfeng lifted the plate, and a pink dessert came into view.
A layer of white mist enveloped the watermelon smoothie, making this dessert look even more tempting.
Jiang Lu, who was sitting upright, slightly opened his eyes, glanced at the strange shape, and then closed his eyes again to rest.
Seeing this, Huanfeng quickly persuaded, "Master, would you like to have a taste? Do you remember when I was a child, you took me down the mountain to buy food? I still savor those delicious dishes. I swore back then that I would make sure you tasted the delicious food I found at least once in my life. Please give me a chance to have a taste."
Jiang Lu finally opened his eyes.
When she looked at Huanfeng, her gaze softened with warmth.
After all, this is a junior whom I've watched grow up like my own grandson, so it's very commendable that he has this sentiment.
So he nodded and said, "In that case, I'll have a taste."
After saying that, he imitated Huanfeng and lifted the plate in front of him.
The red and green thing with a stick attached was more interesting to him.
So he picked up the ice cream, milkshake, and popsicle.
The sliced ice cream is triangular on top and curved at the bottom, just like a real watermelon cut open.
It's just that the color isn't as vibrant as a watermelon.
He sighed inwardly. He wondered how long it would take to completely expel the poison from that mouthful. Sometimes, the filial piety of the younger generation could be deadly.
He never believed the claim that the food from the lower realms was free of poison from the very beginning!
Jiang Lu opened his mouth and only took a bite of the tip of the ice cream.
Although it was only a little, the cool, sweet, and refreshing taste quickly filled my entire mouth.
That icy-cold, sweet and sour taste is constantly challenging the resistance of the taste buds.
The unusual taste caught Jiang Lu's eye; it was indeed a flavor he had never tasted before in his life.
Uncontrollably, he took another big bite.
He regretted it almost as soon as he took a bite.
Such a huge mouthful, it might take hundreds of years to detox!
But this stuff melts in your mouth, and before you know it, it's already been swallowed.
Jiang Lu hurriedly looked himself over, following the chill, and began to closely observe the changes in his body.
To his surprise, the chill did not release any poisonous effects even after it entered his stomach.
Not only that, he even felt a mysterious power that he couldn't quite explain, repairing his meridians!
During normal cultivation, spiritual energy circulates throughout the body. In battle, various high-intensity skills also require the meridians to transport a large amount of immortal power, which inevitably leads to some hidden injuries in the meridians.
These hidden injuries can be healed with the nourishment of immortal power for a thousand or eight hundred years, but you can't withstand the old injuries not healing before adding new ones!
Taking medicine is not a bad idea, but while it treats the injury, it also creates hidden dangers in the body.
But that mysterious power was different; after a minor internal injury was healed, that power miraculously disappeared.
Not only did it not accumulate in the body to form erysipelas, but it didn't even leave any trace.
If it weren't for that one repaired meridian, he would have thought that his perception was wrong!
hiss……
Jiang Lu couldn't help but gasp.
What Huanfeng said was actually true?!
This thing not only doesn't cause poisoning, but it actually works like a medicinal pill?
Or are you dreaming?!
To verify whether his idea was true, Jiang Lu took a big bite and ate the entire watermelon ice cream.
The icy taste made his teeth feel cold, and he was lucky he didn't spit it out.
This made him even more curious about the effects of this magical artifact.
He could sense that the ice cream was not cold, at most only minus ten degrees Celsius. He could easily cast an Ice Condensation Technique, which would reach temperatures of several thousand degrees below zero, but such an attack could not even make him shiver. How could something that was only minus ten degrees Celsius make his teeth feel cold?
Completely baffled, Jiang Lu turned his attention to the watermelon smoothie next to him.
As Jiang Lu scooped a spoonful into his mouth, his eyes widened involuntarily.
Equally delicious, yet with completely different textures!
The ice cream I just tasted was soft and slightly firm, but this watermelon smoothie was completely different.
The fine ice chips have a very distinct granular texture in your mouth. Take a spoonful and savor the flavor while waiting for the ice to melt into icy water. It's simply heavenly!
After reflecting on it for a while, Jiang Lu couldn't help but ask Huanfeng, "This kind of place must be very expensive, right?"
In his view, something that could not even be tasted in the immortal realm must be extremely expensive and rare in the mortal world.
Seeing his advisor enjoying the meal, Huanfeng couldn't help but feel happy too.
Upon hearing this, he smiled and said, "It's not expensive at all. A mere 100,000 high-grade spirit stones is just a few thousand cents to our sect."
Jiang Lu nodded, saying with admiration, "Although this dish is a bit strange, the taste is perfect, and it's worth the price. This must be one of the restaurant's specialties, right?"
Huanfeng said with a wry smile, "I don't know if it's his specialty. The main thing is that since Master Ye opened this shop, I've never seen him make the same dish twice. I just feel that he's good at every dish."
Jiang Lu was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.
They've never cooked the same dishes twice before, which is quite unimaginable, even though the business has only been open for a few months.
How many dishes can we have today?
Huanfeng hurriedly replied, "Reporting to the clerk, there are a total of 8 dishes."
Jiang Lu nodded and said regretfully, "Such a delicious dish is ranked first. I think it should be the grand finale."
"Please forgive me, sir, this dish is merely a dessert before the meal; the main course has not yet been served."
"ah?"
Jiang Lu was truly stunned, his mouth agape like a hippopotamus.
