"You're back." Ye Liusha stood up.
"Hmm, you're back. This is what you've accomplished today. Not bad, not bad." Ye Xiruo smiled, her eyes crinkling. It seemed that the six chefs had strong comprehension and practical skills. Yesterday, she had only written down some home-style recipes and given them to practice and experiment on their own. In just half a day, they had already made them look quite professional.
On the table were familiar dishes such as stir-fried green beans, eggplant with garlic sauce, eggplant with minced meat, tofu with minced meat, steamed egg with minced meat, steamed pork with five-spice powder, hot and sour shredded potatoes, candied sweet potatoes, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stewed pork ribs with winter melon, braised beef with potatoes, stir-fried beef with green peppers, pickled fish, and sweet and sour pork tenderloin. The rice had also been steamed for a long time and was kept warm on the side, so that dinner could be served when Ye Xiruo and the others returned.
Regardless of the taste, it certainly looks good.
"Everyone has worked hard, let's eat. I'll treat everyone to drinks." Ye Xiruo took out five large jars of spirit wine from her spatial ring and placed them on the dining table.
Everyone's eyes lit up instantly, seemingly glowing with a green light, like wolves that hadn't seen a bone in decades.
"These are all brewed by my own hands, the finest delicacies from Zuixianlou. You're in for a treat tonight."
In the future, I will collect more spiritual herbs or fruits suitable for brewing wine on the Azure Continent, and brew more fine wine to honor my master.
The longsword in Ye Liusha's arms vanished instantly, replaced by a jade bowl of turquoise in his right hand. Tai Yanli and Tai Yanheng, Ying Xun, Zi Shu, Hua Rong, Qing Zhiyi, and the people of Tai Yan Continent all had bowls ready in their hands.
Although the dishes were delicious, the spirit wine was clearly more appealing to them.
Chi Yi and the others had been mining for three years, and they had never even seen ordinary wine, let alone spirit wine. Now, upon hearing that there was spirit wine, brewed by Master Ye himself, they were all immediately excited.
Dozens of eyes were glued to the spirit wine jar; the scene looked quite comical.
Ye Xiruo didn't want them to wait too long, so she and Xiu Qiyu went over and opened the wine jar, and the aroma of the wine immediately filled the air.
This taste is absolutely amazing.
Hidden in the shadows, Xue Junhan couldn't resist the aroma of the wine even more. It turned out that what his little apprentice said was true; a single dish contained several hundred blue crystals.
The wine brewed by my youngest apprentice is truly exquisite. The taste is amazing, I can't resist it.
Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu were pouring wine for everyone when they didn't pay much attention. By the time they noticed, one of the spirit wine jars had already been opened and half of it had been drunk.
Damn it, someone came to steal the wine, and a pro at that; none of them noticed.
Xue Junhan couldn't stop drinking it once he started. It had been such a long, long time since he had tasted such pure and fragrant spirit wine. It was so refreshing!
Ye Xiruo was furious.
This wine thief is incredibly arrogant.
"Is it good?"
"Delicious, delicious." Xue Junhan finally managed to pull his head out of the wine jar, only to see Ye Xiruo's fiery eyes.
"Master Xue Dan—" Ye Xiruo drawled.
"Little girl, what do you want? I'm willing to trade with you."
What do you want? Spirit crystals.
"Fifty thousand blue crystals." Ye Xiruo would be a fool to offer a "friendship price." Having finally caught a fat sheep, she was naturally going to fleece it properly.
Fei Yang Xue Junhan was dumbfounded. Fifty thousand blue crystals, if it were a lot, it wouldn't be too much. This stall of spirit wine was worth the price, but he didn't have any.
He had used all his spirit crystals to buy spirit medicine, seeds, and wine, so he was really broke right now.
Xue Junhan was embarrassed; he had lost face in front of his little apprentice.
"You don't have any spirit crystals, do you?" Ye Xiruo and Xue Junhan spoke privately, while Xiu Qiyu continued to pour spirit wine for everyone.
"Little girl, I don't have any spirit stones. How about I use something else to pay for it?"
Ye Xiruo narrowed her eyes: "I still have many different kinds of spirit wine here. It's a pity you don't have any money."
Haha, I got looked down on by my little apprentice.
"You have to believe me, I can easily make a lot of spirit crystals with just one move."
"I believe that. Never mind, consider this jar of spirit wine as a treat. If you don't mind, you can sit down and have dinner together."
"Little apprentice, are you willing to become my disciple?" (Looking expectantly)
No.
Xue Junhan's smile immediately froze; he realized he had been overthinking things.
But it doesn't matter, he has already decided that Ye Xiruo is his disciple, and no one can take her away from him.
If Ye Xi were to bring out two more jars of spirit wine, everyone could drink to their heart's content.
After finishing their drinks, Tai Yanli and Tai Yanheng were naturally pleasantly surprised. This spirit wine was indeed purer than the one sold at Zuixianju, and the spiritual energy it contained was also quite astonishing.
As expected of the young palace master personally named by Jing Li, not to mention her talent, her skill in brewing spirit wine alone is enough.
The chill around Ye Liusha seemed to have dissipated somewhat. With the spiritual wine and the top-grade Rejuvenation Pill, he felt that his injuries had healed by more than half.
The people of Taiyan Continent were completely intoxicated by the wine, not to mention Chi Yi and the others, who were practically in tears. They hadn't drunk any alcohol for three whole years, and now they were drinking top-grade spiritual wine. They were excited and thrilled, and at the same time, they were very fortunate to have met Ye Xiruo and her group. They were so lucky.
Even if the poison in their bodies cannot be cured, being able to drink such a top-quality spiritual wine before they die is a great blessing in life.
After everyone had drunk their fill of the spirit wine, they began to eat.
The six chefs practiced many times today, and all the previous ones were eaten by everyone; this was the pinnacle of their culinary skills.
As expected, Master Ye Dan was learned and skillful. With his guidance, they had almost reached the threshold of becoming spirit chefs.
Master Ye Dan said that this was only the first step, and that they should practice first, as the signature dish of their restaurant had not yet been decided.
If these ordinary dishes are already this delicious, I can only imagine how amazing the signature dishes will be. It's something to look forward to!
The six chefs also looked at Ye Xiruo with anticipation, waiting for her comments.
"Everyone, eat up!"
After a busy day, although cultivators aren't too tired, they are naturally full of anticipation for this meal, which is the result of half a day's work.
Ye Xiruo tasted every dish, silently noting the advantages and disadvantages of each, and then had a good exchange with the six chefs after the meal.
Believe it or not, cooking really is a matter of practice makes perfect. In just one day, the six chefs' skills have improved rapidly. On average, they can retain 40% of their spiritual energy, and some can even retain 50%, which is already quite good.
Xue Junhan found a corner to sit down and began to eat heartily. He had initially thought that since this wasn't made by his little apprentice, he didn't know how it would taste, so he would only try it reluctantly. But once he started eating, he couldn't stop.
Any dish here could easily outshine the signature dishes at Shixiangju.
