After finishing all the delicacies on the table, Lin Xiu returned to the inn and had a good sleep. He only stretched his body when the sun was high up in the sky the next day.
Ever since he came to the Ancient Desolate World, Lin Xiu had been living cautiously because he was not familiar with this world. He was afraid that others would see through his roots. After he built a good relationship with the city lords of Cloud Sea City, he was anxious to tailor a training plan for them. Therefore, Lin Xiu had been busy for more than a year and did not have a chance to rest at all.
Although the Venerable Residence did not seem to have any ill intentions towards him, Lin Xiu did not dare to be careless. After all, Yao Kun was too strong and he might make a move on him at any time.
This time, although Lin Xiu tried to shirk responsibility, the conditions that Zhu Hai proposed were too tempting. And Lin Xiu thought that if he could temporarily leave the Venerable Residence, it might be an opportunity for him, so he agreed. It was not just because of those high-end skills.
After freshening up, Lin Xiu had a simple breakfast in the inn and then strolled around the city.
He already knew that Liu Cheng's adoptive parents ran a restaurant in the city, but it was still early in the morning and the restaurant had not opened yet. Therefore, Lin Xiu could only wander around the streets and look at those trendy things to pass the time.
Shou Zhou City was extremely martial and it was not a baseless rumor. Lin Xiu just walked around the city and could see shouts coming from every household. It was obvious that young children, under the supervision of their parents, had started a day of homework.
And for safety reasons, Lin Xiu did not choose to release his spiritual consciousness. If Liu Cheng and the Dao Comprehending Realm experts of Shou Zhou City found out, it would be hard to avoid the suspicion of alerting the enemy, which would not be good.
Even so, Lin Xiu had a deeper understanding of the city after walking around for a whole morning.
Shou Zhou City was extremely strong overall. Almost every youth in the same realm was enough to crush the people from other cities.
While the children of other cities were still pampered by their parents and only knew how to play all day, the children of Shouzhou City already understood that if they wanted to survive in this world, they had to possess great strength.
After sighing in his heart and seeing that it was almost noon, Lin Xiu finally arrived at the restaurant where Liu Cheng's adoptive parents were.
The restaurant wasn't big, but it was clean and tidy. Because it was close to noon, there were many diners eating heartily in the restaurant.
Seeing Lin Xiu's arrival, a slightly hunchbacked old man strode over with a smile on his face and greeted Lin Xiu enthusiastically, "Little brother, you look unfamiliar, it must be your first time coming to our restaurant, what would you like to eat?"
This made Lin Xiu slightly surprised. For some reason, this old man gave him an unfathomable feeling.
Seeing the puzzled look on Lin Xiu's face, the old man didn't keep him in suspense and explained the reason directly.
"I have been running a restaurant in Shouzhou City for hundreds of years. Ever since I found out that my cultivation talent wasn't enough to break through to the Universe realm, I became disheartened and came here to run a restaurant. After I got up, I realized that my cooking skills aren't bad, so I have a little reputation in the city." The old man raised his head slightly as he said this, his tone filled with endless pride.
"It's also because of this that I know that what I'm best at is actually cooking. To put it bluntly, in this Shou Zhou City, from the nobles to the peddlers, almost everyone has come to eat at my place. As for our Shou Zhou City's children, as long as they grow up, they basically have the strength of the Sky Origin Stage. Having a photographic memory is a simple matter."
This made Lin Xiu think highly of the old man, but he really didn't know what was so special about this small restaurant. He sat down in front of a simple table. The boss had already prepared the menu and gently handed it to Lin Xiu.
"Although this is a small restaurant, even those real chefs might not be able to cook as well as I do. Please take a look at what you need." The old man rubbed his hands. Although he looked extremely honest, he was extremely confident in his cooking skills.
But the moment Lin Xiu opened the menu, he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. He saw that some of the things sold were snacks that could be seen everywhere on the streets, there was really nothing novel about them. He didn't know where the old man got his confidence from to actually dare to boast like this.
After a moment of silence, Lin Xiu finally made up his mind and said to the old man in front of him, "This is my first time here, why don't you personally point out the maze for me, see which ones are your best, and give me a portion of them."
When the old man heard Lin Xiu's words, he suddenly beamed with joy, patted his chest, and gave Lin Xiu a thumbs up.
"Alright, please go ahead."
The old man put on an apron and then went to the back kitchen. Although it was called the back kitchen, it was actually a separate space separated by a transparent glass.
In this way, the old man's every move inside could not be hidden from the eyes of the diners. Over the years, there have been many diners who came because of this method and wanted to observe the special cooking skills of the old man at a close distance. However, whenever they felt that they had mastered the real trick, when they returned home and tried it themselves, they found that things were far from as simple as they thought.
Not long after, the old man prepared all the snacks, but it was not the old man who served the dishes, but an old woman with a head full of silver hair who was a little unsteady.
The old woman's legs and feet were extremely stiff, and the hand holding the plate was also trembling non-stop. It made people afraid that if they were not careful, they would spill all the food.
Lin Xiu looked at the expressions of the surrounding diners and found that they were all used to this, so he was relieved.
"Little brother, the dishes you've ordered are all here. If you need anything, you can just call us two old geezers." The old woman placed the exquisite dishes on Lin Xiu's table, then smiled kindly. Although her legs were not nimble, she was extremely talkative.
