Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 337: All Parties Learn of the New Dish
The leaves of the Enlightenment Tea Tree possess Tao Power, which can aid in comprehending Taoist Law, with effects that are incomparably defiant of heaven, even for Saints, they hold great benefits.
Its true value far exceeds that of the Ginseng Fruit and the Flat Peach Tree by an unknown amount, but for the same reason, the Enlightenment Tea Tree missed its chance to transform.
Such immense Tao Power, that even the slightest hint of budding spiritual wisdom would be forcibly destroyed by it.
It’s usually especially difficult for Spirit Roots to transform; among the Innate Ten Great Spiritual Roots, only the Bodhi Tree and the Ginseng Fruit Tree succeeded, becoming Saint Zhunti and Master Zhenyuan, respectively.
Whether he could transform or not, Chen Nuo didn’t care, as long as there were leaves to pick, that was enough.
Chen Nuo looked the Enlightenment Tea Tree up and down, reached out to touch its leaves, and then slowly plucked them off.
A slight smile appeared on his face, they were ready to be harvested!
It seems Chaos Residence will not only have new dishes tomorrow but also an additional beverage to offer.
One leaf per cup!
Chen Nuo nodded in satisfaction, he was indeed a conscientious merchant, at least the tea was made from real leaves!
It wasn’t that he was stingy, but rather the Enlightenment Tea leaves were too rare and their effects heaven-defying. Even Saints would be moved by them.
He didn’t just put one leaf per cup; the price would also have to be raised to match that of regular dishes, after all, this wasn’t something the Flat Peach could compare with.
Once there were more tea leaves, could he also start selling tea-flavored eggs or something?
Enlightenment Tea brand tea leaf eggs, the thought was extravagant enough.
Or perhaps turn it into milk tea?
There were numerous things one could do with tea, he could come up with all kinds of uses, as long as production could keep up.
Gathering the tea leaves one by one, he stored them carefully.
Chen Nuo turned and walked back to the house; today, he would start by roasting the leaves.
"I didn’t expect this hot pot to have its own unique charm," Nuwa commented slowly, wiping her rouge lips with a napkin in the palace of Nuwa, her voice light.
She had thought that hot pot, which they had to cook themselves, would not be delicious.
But surprisingly, the flavors of the broth combined with the sauces were not inferior at all. In fact, because she was involved in the cooking, it added even more fun to the experience.
However, compared to the pleased Nuwa, Xuan Feng was not so cheerful; she had to watch Nuwa’s expression while eating. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
She had really wanted to try some scallops, but unfortunately, Nuwa loved them and kept picking them non-stop.
As a result, she didn’t get to eat a single one, which was tough!
Still, Xuan Feng had to feign a smile, "The Empress speaks the truth!"
Nuwa’s gaze swept lightly, and with a flick of her jade finger, a surge of energy instantly flowed into Xuan Feng’s body.
This familiar sensation made Xuan Feng’s mouth drop open in surprise.
"Isn’t this the Empress’s Power of the Saint?"
Coming back to her senses, joy unrestrainable spread across her face; she quickly thanked Nuwa, "Thank you for bestowing the law, Your Majesty!"
With this Dharma Power, she should be able to indulge for a few more days!
Nuwa nodded slightly, "From now on, half of your dishes will be provided to me."
"Ah?!" Xuan Feng’s head jerked up as she looked at Nuwa, unable to help but exclaim.
"Your Majesty, I..."
Xuan Feng stammered, unable to say anything coherent. Giving up half to the Empress meant she wouldn’t have enough for herself!
But as the Empress’s words were golden, she dared not openly object.
"I haven’t finished yet," Nuwa said languidly, propping her cheek in her hand, "In return, I will maintain your Power of the Saint, allowing you to order whatever you wish."
Such good fortune?! Xuan Feng’s eyes lit up immediately.
To order whatever she wanted daily! That was too delightful!
Xuan Feng was ecstatic, not overlooking that the Empress said "half daily." Though reluctant, she certainly knew the difference between being fully satiated and being half-full each meal.
"Many thanks for Your Grace’s favor!"
"It’s nothing." Nuwa said indifferently.
Although Nuwa showed no sign of it on her face, she was in a great mood!
Being promised was enough, she had just been worrying about not having enough to eat every day.
In this way, it was rightfully so, and all the better.
Her mind and spirit stirred, Nuwa was about to eat her own portion as well, having just been enjoying hotpot. To prevent the dish from getting cold, she had taken it back.
But suddenly, the delivery device placed on the table made a noise.
Hm?
Nuwa’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes as she straightened up, picked up the delivery device, and tapped it open.
The first thing that caught her eye on the homepage was the information about Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
Luxurious, rich, incredibly appetizing, identical to one in her previous menu!
For this dish, she could already describe her longing as day and night.
"It’s finally out!" Nuwa couldn’t help but let out a soft exclamation, her voice trembling slightly, revealing just how thrilled she was at that moment.
"Your Grace, what has come out?" Xuan Feng asked curiously, looking at Nuwa. She had already put away the delivery device, so she was not aware of it.
"Shopkeeper Chen will debut the new dish, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, tomorrow. It’s announced on this delivery device," Nuwa explained, casually shaking the device.
Hearing this, Xuan Feng hurriedly took out her own delivery device to check.
Indeed! There it was, shining brightly—the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!
However...
Xuan Feng’s pupils shrank slightly; the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was so expensive, ten times the price of a normal dish!
A limited-time discount of ten percent off still didn’t make it any less expensive!
Unlike Xuan Feng, Nuwa, being extremely wealthy, was not affected at all by the price.
The Power of the Saint was the most basic thing to her, and she could have as much as she wanted. She wasn’t focused on any discount, but something else.
No purchase for others, no delivery service.
"You can only buy it in the restaurant." Nuwa murmured softly.
A mysterious light flickered through her captivating eyes.
Shopkeeper Chen, are we finally going to meet—a subtle lift at the corners of her vermilion lips was almost imperceptible.
"Let me see just who you are!"
Gold Star Taibai dashed into the Diligence Hall, his typically gentle features now bright with excitement, his long beard blowing in the wind and trailing behind.
Haotian’s brows furrowed at the unexpected noise, his expression displeased, he spoke in a deep voice, "Did I not say that I do not wish to be disturbed when I am busy?"
While ordinary immortals may have been scared off, Gold Star Taibai, who had been through the ranks for many years and was also Haotian’s loyal official, naturally had a bigger courage. He got straight to the point and reported on what he had come for.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Chaos Residence has launched a new product!" Gold Star Taibai excitedly reported.
A new product?!
At these words, Haotian was taken aback, and without any hesitation, he slapped the memorial in his hand on the desk, not even sparing it another glance, as if his previous focus was just an empty talk.
"What new product have they launched? How did you learn of it?" Haotian suddenly looked at Gold Star Taibai, asking hurriedly.
"This subject just now heard some commotion from the delivery device, picked it up, and saw a new picture; a new dish is being launched! It’s tomorrow!" Gold Star Taibai said, flicking his horsetail whisk, disclosing the full story to Haotian.
I see.
Haotian nodded his head; he had put his delivery device away after placing his order, and thus had not heard any commotion.
Opening it to look, indeed, it was a new dish!
