Huanfeng and his advisor Jiang Lu reappeared on the list of diners.
Jiang Lu rubbed his hands together and complained, "This time in the Immortal Realm, all I could think about was the feeling of this mountain retreat. I was thinking about it day and night, so how could I have the mood to cultivate? As soon as I came down to the mortal realm, my mood improved and I felt that my cultivation was about to improve. I really want to move this mountain retreat to the Immortal Realm."
Huanfeng chuckled and said, "I think you should stop hoping that the Mountain Cottage will move to the Immortal Realm, Master."
Jiang Lu asked in confusion, "Why is that?"
Huanfeng pointed to the kitchen and said, "In the mortal realm, a meal costs a high-grade spirit stone. Do you think we'd still charge you spirit stones in the immortal realm? Our sect has plenty of spirit stones in the mortal realm. But if we charged you immortal spirit stones in the immortal realm, would you be willing to pay them?"
hiss……
Jiang Lu gasped, asking uncertainly, "It can't be... that ruthless, can it? If the price is set that high, not many people will be willing to take this meal."
Huanfeng affirmed, "Why is it impossible? Look at how many people in the lower realm can afford to eat this? Our sect is considered a top-tier power in the lower realm, which is why we can afford to eat here. Most sects don't even dare to compete for tickets. And yet, we almost wore down the threshold of this place. Not to mention, if Supreme Ye went to the Immortal Realm and put that big pot of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall at the door, do you think some big shots wouldn't be able to resist their curiosity and go in to try it? With the taste of Supreme Ye's food, who could resist after just one bite?"
Jiang Lu's mind began to conjure up the taste of the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup he had eaten that day. It was incredibly delicious, and the aroma lingered in his nose for three days. If this ultimate weapon were to be served, even if it were a bit pricey, there would definitely be people willing to try it. Moreover, there was another point: after Yuanfeng Immortal Lord returned to the Immortal Realm, he did a lot of publicity for this Supreme Lord Ye, calling him the Immortal Lord who grants children and praising his incredibly delicious cooking. He heard that if it weren't for a powerful figure in the lower realm occupying a spot and refusing to leave, some of the powerful figures he knew would have already descended to the lower realm.
I wonder if that big shot is still living in this mountain retreat, and if I'll have a chance to get to know him.
Just as his mind was wandering, the door to the private room creaked softly. The sound instantly pulled Jiang Lu back to reality; he felt that this sound was the most beautiful sound in the world.
Jiang Lu couldn't help but drool as he looked at the plate of duck meat that had just been placed on the table.
Picking up a piece of duck meat, the dark brown sauce clung to the duck leg meat, slowly flowing down with Jiang Lu's movements, looking incredibly tempting.
I couldn't help but take a deep breath, the rich aroma of meat and the slightly sour fragrance made my stomach feel instantly empty, making me feel like I could eat a whole hippopotamus.
With one bite, the duck skin is slightly crispy on the outside and the gelatinous part inside melts in your mouth. Then, the tender and meaty duck leg meat is wrapped in thick juice, and the slightly sour taste makes the duck skin and duck meat blend together tightly. What you are eating is not just a bite of meat, but an overflowing sense of happiness.
"Just this one bite! Just for this one bite! Even if the procedures to go down to the mortal realm are complicated, it's all worth it!"
Jiang Lu didn't know how many times he had sighed like this, but he felt that no matter how many times it happened, it was a cry from the deepest part of his heart.
...
The Ice Phoenix Witch also found the duck meat delicious. Although she was beautiful and seemingly harmless, the Ice Phoenix Witch considered herself a true carnivore. While Ye Zhizun's vegetarian dishes were also quite good, meat was still more to her liking.
Moreover, because she frequently ate at the Mountain Peak Cottage, her cultivation progressed extremely rapidly, almost catching up with her father. This was mainly due to the cultivation methods of their sect. The Blood Demon Sect's methods differed from other sects. In other sects, as one's cultivation level increased, speed, defense, and the power of one's techniques would also increase. However, in the Blood Demon Sect, as one's cultivation level increased, speed, defense, and the power of one's techniques would also improve. Conversely, as defense improved, it would also benefit one's cultivation level.
Ye Feng's food has a stronger effect on those with lower cultivation levels, and this imbalance caused the Ice Phoenix Demoness's cultivation to increase rapidly.
She opened her sexy, full lips and gently bit into the duck leg meat, tearing off a large piece of meat that bulged out her cherry-like mouth, yet she continued to stuff it into her mouth.
"Aunt Wen, I think if I eat this kind of food that enhances defense a few more times, I might be able to touch the threshold of breaking through."
Wen Jun smiled and said, "Then you should come here more often and eat more, so you can surpass your father as soon as possible."
...
Ye Feng had already begun preparing the second dish in the kitchen.
The second dish was a main course, a very pungent one, which was—secret recipe, stinky mandarin fish!
Mandarin fish is a freshwater fish unique to China, and stinky mandarin fish is a dish from Huizhou. Legend has it that over 200 years ago, fishmongers from Guichi, Tongling, and Datong along the Yangtze River would transport Yangtze mandarin fish in wooden barrels to the mountainous areas of Huizhou for sale every winter. Because the journey took seven or eight days, by the time they reached a porter shop in Guocun Township, Huangshan District, a torrential downpour would begin. Combined with the hot weather, to prevent the fish from spoiling, the fishmongers would layer the fish in the barrels, sprinkling a layer of lightly salted water between each layer, and frequently turning them over. When the fish arrived in Huizhou, their gills were still red, their scales intact, and their quality unchanged; only their skin emitted an unusual odor. After cleaning, they would lightly fry the fish in hot oil and then simmer them over low heat. The odor would completely disappear, leaving the fish incredibly fresh and fragrant, becoming a popular delicacy.
Ye Feng took out the marinated stinky mandarin fish from the jade slip, and the disciples who were helping him in the kitchen put on their gas masks at the same time. With their current level of cultivation, they could not withstand this level of stench at all.
Ye Feng didn't care; he simply brought over a basin of spring water and soaked the mandarin fish in it. Because pickling mandarin fish requires a lot of salt, it's inedible without rinsing it first.
