When Cheng Yu tasted Xiuzhonglou's cultivation delicacies, he was more than a little shocked.
"Shopkeeper Song, I'm afraid the food in your Xianzhong Tower is quite expensive, right?" Cheng Yu put down his chopsticks and asked.
"Master Cheng, is this dish not to your liking? I'm going to ask someone to make a new table for you right now!" Shopkeeper Song was shocked and didn't know what Cheng Yu meant.
To be honest, not everyone is qualified to receive Cheng Yu. But it is not possible to receive just anyone.
He had to serve such a person carefully.
"No! Don't be nervous. I just didn't expect to be able to eat spiritual food here. The chef here is very good. Can I meet him?" Cheng Yu said with a smile.
"Well... the Cheng family leader has received the award. Since the Cheng family leader appreciates it, I will let him come over now!" A trace of worry flashed in Shopkeeper Song's eyes, but he did not dare to hesitate and spoke quickly.
"Cheng Yu, don't you have a crush on someone else's cook?" Lanya said with a smile.
"What do you think of this spiritual food?" Cheng Yu asked.
"Compared to the cultivation delicacies made by Bai Yuanming, it is much better!" Several women said.
They had also eaten the delicacies that Bai Yuanming was testing, but his delicacies only contained a very small amount of spiritual power.
But the delicacies in front of me now obviously contain more spiritual energy. Moreover, these spiritual powers are particularly easy to absorb.
"That's natural. The spiritual power contained in this delicacy is basically close to spiritual food." Cheng Yu said.
Spiritual food is no longer just about satisfying people’s appetites.
Although it is food, it can already be said to be a resource for cultivation.
For Cultivation cuisine, you need not only the taste, but also the knowledge of the combination of various Cultivation ingredients.
This was the assessment of gourmet talent that Cheng Yu set at the Cheng family's contribution meeting. However, the Cheng family also found a person with gourmet talent like Bai Yuanming.
Compared with modern society, in addition to artificial ingredients, there are actually more ingredients in the world of cultivation.
In the world of cultivation, the most important ingredient is all kinds of animal meat.
What is different from modern society is that these animal meats come from cultivated beasts, so these meats are unusual.
In modern cuisine, ingredients complement each other, and this is especially true in the world of cultivation.
Moreover, if the poison is caused by the wrong combination of ingredients, even the most powerful monks will die, let alone ordinary people.
However, if it can be properly matched, it can achieve effects that are better than many elixirs. But the price is far cheaper than elixirs of the same level, which can be said to be quite a bargain.
However, it is difficult for people without such talent to reach this level.
Unless this person is really knowledgeable about food and has a lot of experience, it is possible to make spiritual food.
So Cheng Yu wanted to see this person and find out whether he was very talented or relied on long experience to make spiritual food.
"Master Cheng, this is Meng Qun, the only senior chef in our Xianzhong Building!" Shopkeeper Song quickly brought a middle-aged man over and said with a smile.
Cheng Yu glanced at Shopkeeper Song. Shopkeeper Song seemed to have seen through something and quickly looked away.
"The villain Meng Qun meets the head of the Cheng family!" Meng Qun also looked a little nervous.
He wholeheartedly likes to study food. Today, when he heard the shopkeeper said that the head of the Cheng family had eaten his food and wanted to see him, he would inevitably feel a little nervous.
He didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse to meet such a big shot as the head of the Cheng family!
"Don't be nervous, I'm just curious about how you make spiritual food!" Cheng Yu asked with a smile.
"Spiritual food? This little guy doesn't quite understand. I just like to study food!" Meng Qun said in a daze.
He is just a mortal, not a monk, so he doesn't know what spiritual food is.
He only knows that the food he cooks can make every diner praise it, and that is what makes him happiest.
"Did you research all these delicacies yourself?" Cheng Yu said, pointing to the spiritual food on the table.
"Exactly! My ancestors were all cooks, so I have liked to study various ingredients since I was a child. These dishes are what I am best at."
"I see. I like the dishes you cooked very much. Let's consider this as a reward for you." Cheng Yu nodded and took out ten large gold ingots and placed them in front of Meng Qun.
For a mortal, money may be the best reward.
"This..." Meng Qun and Song Wen were both shocked. They did not expect Cheng Yu to do this.
Although Meng Qun's monthly salary in Xiazhong Tower is quite high, he definitely does not have that much money.
Gulu!
Seeing these ten large gold ingots placed in front of him, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, obviously he still wanted them very much.
However, in front of such a big shot, does he dare to accept such a big gift?
"Master Cheng, I just did what I should do. I don't dare to accept such a heavy gift. Please take it back!" Although Meng Qun wanted it very much, he really didn't dare to ask for it.
Although the small town of Cultivation is dominated by monks, not everyone is a monk, many people are also ordinary people.
Just like Song Wen and Meng Qun, they originally lived in the world of cultivation. But after Song Wen opened the Xianzhong Restaurant in Qinling, he found Meng Qun.
Even though they are just mortals, who in this secular town of cultivation doesn’t know Cheng Yu’s reputation!
No cultivation town would dare to accept Cheng Yu's money.
"Take it, you deserve it, there is nothing you dare to do." Cheng Yu said.
"Since the head of the Cheng family has spoken, just accept it!" Song Wen said at this time, even he was a little jealous after seeing so many gold ingots.
Although many monks came to eat in Xianzhong Tower, most of them gave them gold and silver. Of course, some will use spiritual stones as food supplies.
One low-grade spiritual stone is equivalent to one hundred taels of gold. In other words, Cheng Yu is equivalent to taking out ten low-grade spiritual stones at once.
But even the luxurious meal he prepared for Cheng Yu today only cost five low-grade spiritual stones.
These ingredients are very precious, and the cost plus manpower basically amounts to more than three low-grade spiritual stones.
What's more, not everyone can enjoy such high-scale dishes like Cheng Yu.
Five low-grade spiritual stones for a meal, whether in the secular world or in the world of cultivation, is a very small group of people, and it is impossible for Dunton to squander it like this.
He could earn one or two low-grade spiritual stones from such a meal, and the profit was already considerable.
But now that he sees Cheng Yu being so generous when he makes a move, which is worth the profit of five or six tables of luxurious meals, how can he not be envious?
"In that case, I would like to thank you for your reward!" Meng Qun knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Cheng Yu.
When he put away these gold ingots, his hands were shaking all the time.
It was obvious that Meng Qun was really stimulated by Cheng Yu's generosity.
This much money is enough for his salary for several years. He had never seen so many large gold ingots at one time.
"Shopkeeper Song!" Cheng Yu looked at Shopkeeper Song.
"Master Cheng, the villain is here!"
"Chef Meng has so much gold, your shop should be safe, right?" Cheng Yu said lightly.
"Safe and safe! I don't think anyone dares to take advantage of this gold." Shopkeeper Song was startled, and he naturally understood what the head of the Cheng family meant. This was a wake-up call for him.
But don't even think about this gold!
"Chef Meng, if anyone dares to take advantage of these golds, you can go directly to the City Lord's Mansion to find the City Lord. Just say that I gave it to you, and someone will naturally help you get the gold back!" Cheng Yu turned to Meng Qun again! said.
"Thank you, Master Cheng!" Meng Qun knelt on the ground again and expressed his gratitude to Cheng Yu.
He had long heard that the head of the Cheng family was a very approachable and important person. Now that he saw it, he was really excited and grateful.
"Get up! Shopkeeper Song, although you don't charge me for food, I am very happy to be able to eat such delicious food in your Xianzhong Building today.
So, consider this little money as a reward for you! Cheng Yu then looked at Shopkeeper Song, took out five large gold ingots and said.
"The Master of the Cheng family is too polite. How dare you do this? And the villain has also said that if I treat you to a meal today, how can I accept the money from the Master of the Cheng family? Hasn't that villain become a Are you no longer a person of integrity?" Shopkeeper Song was once again shocked by Cheng Yu's handwriting.
Although there are only five gold ingots, it is still five hundred taels of gold, which is higher than the profit of this meal.
However, how can he break his words now?
"I said, this is not food for you, but a reward for making my wife and sister enjoy the delicious food in your restaurant. Take it, it's time for us to leave!" Cheng Yu finished speaking. He stood up and walked out of the box.
"Master Cheng, let me see you off!" Seeing Cheng Yu's words, shopkeeper Song quickly put away the five gold ingots and led Meng Qun to escort Cheng Yu and others to the door of the restaurant.
"I would like to thank the Master Cheng for the reward. If the Master likes it, you are welcome to come to the store again at any time. The store will do its best to serve the Master and let the Master eat the best food." After receiving such a big reward, Shopkeeper Song became even more polite. .
"Then I'm looking forward to the next visit. I hope Chef Meng can come up with some new dishes. Farewell!" Cheng Yu nodded and left with a few people.
call!
Shopkeeper Song breathed a sigh of relief. Today was really a near miss, and he also made a lot of money.
"Shopkeeper, the head of the Cheng family is really a good person. I think he's even better than everyone says!" Meng Qun said.
"Of course! The head of the Cheng family is famous for his good reputation, how can it be false!" Shopkeeper Song also sighed with emotion.
It was also his first time to have such close contact with Cheng Yu, but he was really impressed by Cheng Yu's magnanimity.
Before, he thought that Cheng Yu had taken a fancy to Meng Qun and wanted to take him away, but in the end, he had a villain's heart and judged a gentleman's heart.
Not only did they not take the people away, but they also gave them a big reward. Such people are truly high-ranking people!
