Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 232 - 332 What is Flat Peach Juice?
The God of Cookery managed to resist the urge to gnaw directly on the bone, slipping his hand underneath himself to maintain control.
After all, another bite would have polished it off completely.
The Two Deities felt their souls elevate, basking in an indescribable comfort. This wasn’t just a wisp of Incense Value!
Even for ten wisps of Incense Power, they would buy.
A flicker of disappointment crossed Chen Nuo’s eyes, it seemed highly likely they wouldn’t experience an Awakening.
But then again, Chen Nuo shrugged, people with low cultivation usually didn’t have great fortune either, so it was normal not to Awaken on the first try.
Meanwhile, Sun Wukong had finished eating too. Since he had already Awakened his Divine Skills with egg fried rice, he couldn’t go through a second Awakening.
But now, with multiple Divine Skills, he didn’t care much about that, eating whatever he wanted and savoring the taste was what mattered most.
He leisurely picked up a piece of paper and wiped his mouth. He had witnessed the ongoing conditions of the God of Cookery and the Kitchen God while focusing on his meal.
Sun Wukong frowned slightly, surprised that neither of the two deities had Awakened from their first meal, their luck was truly poor.
But Sun Wukong didn’t mention anything about Divine Skills. Experiencing such earth-shattering events first-hand was more shocking, and if there was no Awakening this time, there would be another chance.
"How was it? I didn’t lie to you, did I?" Sun Wukong grinned, looking at the Two Deities who were comfortably leaning back in their seats.
Hearing this, the Two Deities quickly straightened up, smiling broadly.
The Kitchen God slapped his thigh, his old face trembling with excitement, "Fantastic! Shopkeeper Chen’s braised pork is truly unparalleled!"
"I’ve lived for so long and never tasted such a perfect dish. I am truly without regrets after tasting it today!"
"I am completely in awe of Shopkeeper Chen!!!"
Having said that, the Kitchen God subconsciously glanced at Sun Wukong’s expression and saw only pride, without the slightest displeasure, and he felt relieved. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
He was glad Sun Wukong hadn’t taken offense; they had forgotten to mention Chef Wukong in their praise.
The God of Cookery smacked his lips, longing to relish the aftertaste of the lamb leg meat again, looking towards Chen Nuo with a calm face, his eyes full of intense excitement.
"This grilled lamb leg is truly exceptional; crispy on the outside, tender inside, juicy and rich, the mastery of heat is beautiful to the extreme, the method is simple but not simplistic!"
Compared to the Kitchen God, the God of Cookery described it with professional culinary insight, praising Chen Nuo for high-level cooking.
"This taste is the first of its kind I have ever encountered. Shopkeeper Chen’s culinary skills have impressed me deeply, there’s no one better in the Three Realms!"
He glanced at the lamb leg bone he had gnawed clean on the table and sighed somewhat embarrassedly, "It’s just, not enough to eat."
He felt he could eat ten in one sitting without any trouble, it was just too delicious!
Chen Nuo didn’t speak, just responded with a smile to the Two Deities’ praise, but inwardly he was rather speechless.
If he filled them up to the brim in one go, how would they keep yearning for more every day?
Sun Wukong listened with pure delight. Praise for himself didn’t matter much, but he was truly happy when it came to his teacher.
"It was worth it for ol’ Sun to bring you here." Sun Wukong nodded in satisfaction.
"We are speaking from the bottom of our hearts!" the Kitchen God declared, thumping his chest, "Although I am of a very low status and cultivation, my attitude towards fine food is earnest!"
The God of Cookery also nodded vigorously: "Exactly so!"
Their words might have sounded exaggerated, but they were a genuine outpouring of their feelings, struck by the profound impact of Shopkeeper Chen’s dishes.
"Just one dish, and already you react like this. Wait until you taste the other dishes, you’ll feel even deeper!" Sun Wukong said flamboyantly.
Once their Divine Skills were unlocked, they could even get excited enough to pass out.
What wait for later? He was already overwhelmed. The God of Cookery, unable to contain his inner restlessness, pleaded eagerly, "Shopkeeper Chen, could you please serve me another portion of the grilled lamb leg?!"
"I’ll pay!"
With such delectable flavors before him, what did a little Incense Power matter.
"Me too!!!"
The Kitchen God slammed the table excitedly and chimed in, "Shopkeeper Chen, could you please give me the menu again? I’d like to order another dish to try!"
Faced with the eager Two Deities, Chen Nuo, however, shook his head mercilessly.
"Sorry, Chaos Residence has a rule: each person can only have one dish per day. If you really want more, you can come early tomorrow." While saying this, Chen Nuo smiled amiably, but his tone was indisputable.
Sun Wukong scratched his head and said with a smile, "My bad, I forgot to mention this rule to you guys."
"Ah?!" The God of Cookery and the Kitchen God’s faces fell immediately, their spirits visibly dampened.
How could this be? It’s so inhumane. The food is so delicious, and yet they won’t let us eat more.
Nevertheless, they didn’t dare to say anything. In front of Shopkeeper Chen, their cultivation probably didn’t even amount to that of an ant’s.
It was already a rarity for Shopkeeper Chen to treat them with a smile. What more could they ask for?
Sun Wukong smacked his lips, feeling a bit thirsty from eating.
"Master, I’d like a glass of Flat Peach Juice," Wukong said cheerfully.
Having consumed so much of the Flat Peaches and related items, he still found they paired best with her, especially when chilled!
Before Chen Nuo could respond, the God of Cookery and the Kitchen God were starting to get anxious.
"Chef Wukong, weren’t we not allowed to order anything else?"
"I’m ordering a drink, not a dish," Sun Wukong explained offhandedly.
Indeed, he wanted to order dishes at will, but this was one rule his master insisted on very strictly, and not even he, as a disciple, could bypass it.
"Is that even possible?" The Two Deities were taken aback.
After pondering for a moment, the God of Cookery ventured, "Chef Wukong, is there anything special about this drink?"
If it were just ordinary water, there would be no need for him to buy it.
With a mysterious twinkle in his eye, Sun Wukong spoke in a hushed tone, "To use your words, it’s simply ’unbelievable’!"
Chen Nuo gave Ao Ling a knowing look, and with the message received, Ao Ling headed straight to the kitchen and filled a large glass to the brim.
She walked over slowly, placing the glass carefully in front of Sun Wukong on the table: "Senior brother, your Flat Peach Juice is ready."
"Thanks!" Sun Wukong nodded his thanks.
The moment the glass touched the table, both the God of Cookery and the Kitchen God stuck out their butts and craned their necks, staring intently into the glass.
In the glass, the water took on a faint flesh color with bubbles burbling on the surface, and wisps of steam rising from the rim.
Instantly, the faces of the Two Deities changed dramatically.
The Kitchen God couldn’t help but exclaim loudly, "Is this really water? Why does it look so sinister? It feels, it feels like..."
But in the end, the Kitchen God couldn’t finish his sentence.
"Like poison, right?" Sun Wukong picked up where he left off.
In the horrified gaze of the Two Deities, he took a big gulp from the glass and let out a contented burp.
Seeing the uncomfortable expressions on the faces of the Two Deities, Sun Wukong chuckled mischievously.
"Relax, it’s a type of drink my master invented, collectively called a beverage. It’s really tasty, and not fragrant at all."
Is that so?
The Two Deities nodded hesitantly, watching Sun Wukong gulp it down with ease and relish. Their hearts couldn’t help but be swayed.
Could it be that there was more to this drink than meets the eye?
