When Cheng Yu tasted the delicacies in the Immortal Tower, he was shocked.
"Shopkeeper Song, I'm afraid that the price of your Immortal Tower's delicacies isn't low, right?" Cheng Yu placed down his chopsticks and asked.
"Patriarch Cheng, is this dish not to your liking? I will get someone to make a new table for you right now! "Shopkeeper Song was shocked. He had no idea what Cheng Yu meant.
To be honest, not everyone had the qualifications to receive Cheng Yu. However, not everyone could receive them well.
He had no choice but to carefully serve such a person.
"No! You don't have to be nervous. I just didn't expect that I would actually be able to eat spiritual food here. The chef here is not simple. Can I meet him? "Cheng Yu smiled.
"This … Family Head Cheng is too kind. Since Family Head Cheng thinks highly of him, I'll call him over right away!" Shopkeeper Song's eyes flashed with a trace of worry, but he did not dare to hesitate.
Cheng Yu, could it be that you have taken a fancy to their chef? Lan Ya smiled.
"What do you think of this spiritual food?" Cheng Yu enquired.
"Compared to Bai Yuanming's cultivation delicacies, it is much stronger!" a few women said.
They had also eaten the delicacies that Bai Yuanming had used in his assessment, but his delicacies only contained an extremely small amount of spiritual energy.
However, the delicacies in front of him clearly contained a lot more spirit energy. Moreover, this spiritual power was especially easy to absorb.
"That's natural. The spiritual energy contained in this kind of delicacy is basically close to spiritual food." Cheng Yu said.
Spirit food was no longer just enough to satisfy people's appetites.
Although it was food, it could also be considered a cultivation resource.
When it came to cultivation cuisine, it wasn't just the taste that was important. It was also important to know how to pair all kinds of cultivation ingredients.
This was the gourmet talent test that Cheng Yu had set up during the Cheng Family's contribution gathering. However, the Cheng Family had only found Bai Yuanming, a person with gourmet talent.
Compared to modern society, apart from artificial ingredients, there were actually more ingredients in the cultivation world.
In the Cultivation World, the most important ingredient is all kinds of beast meat.
What was different from modern society was that these beasts' meat were all from beasts with cultivation, so the meat was not ordinary.
Modern cuisine had ingredients that reinforced and restrained each other, and it was even more so in the Cultivation World.
Moreover, if the ingredients were to be mixed incorrectly, the resulting poison could even kill a powerful cultivator, let alone an ordinary person.
However, if it was matched appropriately, it could achieve an effect that surpassed many pills. However, the price was far cheaper than pills of the same level. It could be said that it was quite a bargain.
However, it was very difficult for people without this kind of talent to reach this level.
Unless this person was very knowledgeable about gourmet food and had a lot of experience, there was a possibility that he could make spirit food.
Therefore, Cheng Yu wished to meet this person. Was it because he had talent or was it because of his long experience that he was able to cook spiritual food?
Shopkeeper Song quickly brought a middle-aged man over and said with a smile, "Family Head Cheng, this is our Immortal Middle Tower's only high-grade chef, Meng Qun!"
Cheng Yu glanced at Shopkeeper Song. Shopkeeper Song seemed to have been seen through as he quickly retracted his gaze.
"Meng Qun greets Patriarch Cheng!" Meng Qun seemed to be slightly nervous.
He loved studying delicacies wholeheartedly, so when he heard the innkeeper say that Patriarch Cheng had eaten his delicacies and wanted to see him, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
He didn't know if meeting Patriarch Cheng was a blessing or a curse!
"There's no need to be nervous. I'm just very curious about how you made spiritual food!" Cheng Yu smiled.
"Spiritual food? I don't really understand. I only like to study delicacies! "Meng Qun replied blankly.
He was just a mortal and not a cultivator. Therefore, how would he know what spiritual food was?
He only knew that the delicacies he made would be praised by every customer. That was the happiest thing for him.
"These delicacies were all researched by you?" Cheng Yu pointed to the spiritual food on the table.
"Yes! My ancestors were all chefs. Therefore, I like to research all kinds of ingredients since I was young. These dishes are what I'm most proficient in. "
"So it's like that. I really like the dishes you made. Take this as a reward for you." Cheng Yu nodded. He took out 10 gold ingots and placed them in front of Meng Qun.
To a mortal, money might be the best reward.
"This …" Meng Qun and Song Wen were both startled. They didn't expect Cheng Yu would do this.
Although Meng Qun's monthly salary in the Immortal Middle Tower wasn't small, he definitely didn't have so much money.
Gulp!
When he saw the 10 gold ingots placed in front of him, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. It was obvious that he really wanted it.
However, in front of such a big shot, did he dare to accept such a heavy gift?
"Cheng Family Head, I only did what I should do. I don't dare to accept such a heavy gift. Please take it back!" Although Meng Qun really wanted it, he really didn't dare to accept it.
In the small cultivation city, cultivators were the majority. However, not everyone was a cultivator. Many of them were also mortals.
Just like Song Wen and Meng Qun, they originally lived in the cultivation world. However, after Song Wen opened up the Immortal Middle Tower in Qinling Mountain, he called Meng Qun over.
Although they were just mortals, in the small cultivation city, who didn't know of Cheng Yu's prestige?
Cheng Yu's money was something that none of the small cultivation cities dared to accept.
"Take it. This is what you deserve. There's nothing to be afraid of," Cheng Yu said.
"Since Cheng Family Head has opened his mouth, you should accept it!" Song Wen spoke. With so many gold ingots, even if it was him, he would be somewhat envious.
Although there were a lot of cultivators that came to the Immortal Middle Tower to eat, most of them would only give out gold and silver. Of course, there were also some who would take out spiritual stones as food.
A piece of low-grade spiritual stone was equivalent to 100 gold taels. In other words, Cheng Yu had taken out 10 low-grade spiritual stones.
However, even if he had prepared such a luxurious feast for Cheng Yu, it would only cost him 5 low-grade spiritual stones.
Furthermore, these ingredients were very precious. Adding the cost of manpower, it would basically cost him 3 low-grade spiritual stones.
Besides, not everyone could be like Cheng Yu, enjoying such a high level of dishes.
Regardless of whether it was in the Secular World or the Cultivation World, five low-grade spiritual stones for a meal was a very small number of people. Furthermore, it was impossible for them to be so extravagant.
For him to be able to earn 1 or 2 low-grade spiritual stones from this meal, the profit was already very considerable.
But now, when he saw how generous Cheng Yu was, it was equivalent to 5 or 6 tables of luxurious feast. How could he not be envious?
"Since it's like that, this lowly one will thank Lord for your reward!" Meng Qun immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Cheng Yu thrice.
When he kept all the gold ingots, his hands were trembling.
It could be seen that Meng Qun was really stimulated by Cheng Yu's generosity.
So much money, it was equivalent to his salary for a few years. In fact, he had never seen so many big gold ingots in his life.
"Shopkeeper Song!" Cheng Yu looked at Shopkeeper Song.
"Cheng Family Head, this lowly one is here!"
"Chef Meng, with so many gold ingots, your restaurant should be safe right?" Cheng Yu said nonchalantly.
"Safe! Safe! I don't think anyone would dare to have any designs on these gold ingots. " Shopkeeper Song was startled. Naturally, he understood what Cheng Family Head meant. Cheng Yu was trying to warn him.
Don't ever have any designs on these gold ingots!
"Chef Meng, if anyone dares to have any designs on these gold ingots, you can go to the City Lord Mansion and look for him. Just tell him that I'm the one who gave it to you. Naturally, there will be someone who will help you retrieve the gold ingots!" Cheng Yu said to Meng Qun.
"Thank you, Cheng Family Head!" Meng Qun knelt down once again, expressing his gratitude to Cheng Yu.
He had long heard that Cheng Family Head was a very amiable person. Now that he had met him, it was indeed true. It truly caused him to be excited and grateful.
"Get up! Shopkeeper Song, although you didn't charge me for the food, I'm still very happy to be able to eat such delicacies in your Immortal Restaurant.
Therefore, take this small amount of money as a reward for you! "Cheng Yu looked at Shopkeeper Song as he took out 5 gold ingots.
"Cheng Family Head is too polite. How can I accept this? Furthermore, I have already said that I will treat you to a meal today. How could I possibly accept Family Head Cheng's money? Wouldn't I be a dishonest person? "Shopkeeper Song was once again shocked by Cheng Yu's generosity. Only allowed on Creativenovels.com
Although there were only 5 gold ingots, it was still 500 gold ingots. This was even higher than the profit from this meal.
However, how could he go back on his words now?
"I've said it before. This isn't for your food. It's a reward for making my wife and sister eat so happily. Take it. It's time for us to leave!" After Cheng Yu finished speaking, he stood up and walked out of the private room.
"Cheng Family Head, let me send you off!" Shopkeeper Song quickly kept the 5 gold ingots and led Meng Qun to send Cheng Yu and the others to the entrance of the restaurant.
"I am thankful for Cheng Family Head's reward. If Family Head likes it, you are welcome to come back anytime. This restaurant will definitely do its best to serve Family Head and let Family Head eat the best delicacies." After receiving such a huge reward, Shopkeeper Song became even more polite.
"Then I shall look forward to the next time. I hope that Chef Meng will be able to come up with some new dishes. Farewell!" Cheng Yu nodded before leaving with them.
Huff!
Shopkeeper Song heaved a sigh of relief. Today was truly a daunting experience without any mishaps. Furthermore, he had even earned a huge sum of money.
"Shopkeeper, this Cheng Family Head is really a good person. I feel that he is even better than the rumors!" Meng Qun commented.
"Of course! Cheng Family Head's good reputation is very famous. How could it be fake! "Shopkeeper Song sighed.
This was also the first time he had such close contact with Cheng Yu. However, he was truly impressed by Cheng Yu's bearing.
Previously, he thought that Cheng Yu had taken a fancy to Meng Qun and wanted to bring him away. In the end, he had misjudged the heart of a gentleman.
