Today, Linjiang Mansion was extremely lively.
It was unprecedentedly lively.
In addition to the host, there were a lot of guests. Gu Kai and Zhang Yun, Shang Yulin and Liang Xuemei, Wang Jiaojiao and Wang Yongqiang, Wu Yongjian and Lu Guang, and Qin Qin were also here. Of course, Chen Wan, Alice, and Xia Yunqi were also here.
"Dad!"
Seeing Zuo Yi who had just returned, the Bao 'er was the first to pounce on him. "Why are you only back now?"
Zuo Yi bent over and picked her up. He smiled and said, "It's not too late now."
The little girl pouted and said, "My stomach is about to be flat from hunger!"
As she spoke, she touched her small stomach.
Zuo Yi couldn't help but kiss her. "Dad brought back a lot of delicious food. Eat some snacks to fill your stomach first."
"Ma 'am, Uncle Gu, Officer Wu …"
Carrying the Bao 'er, he greeted the guests.
Today was the Mid-Autumn Festival. Under Gu Yunxi's suggestion, he invited a few relatives and friends over for a meal.
The main reason was that it would be more lively with more people.
For this reason, Zuo Yi specially made a trip to the Wasteland World to search for and collect some delicious ingredients.
Wu Yongjian smiled and said, "You're finally back. Chef Li is waiting for you in the kitchen!"
Zuo Yi handed the Bao 'er to Gu Yunxi and said, "Everyone, take a seat first. We'll eat while the dishes are served."
He went to the kitchen.
For this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Wu Yongjian specially invited a chef to help.
This chef wasn't an ordinary person. He was originally the head chef of Hangzhou's Moon Restaurant. He had an annual salary of a million yuan.
Moreover, he was a newly promoted Extraordinaire!
This Chef Li's ability was different from ordinary Extraordinaires. He awakened the smell ability. Not only was his ability to distinguish smells a thousand times better than ordinary people, but he could also tell the quality and source of any ingredient just by smelling it.
With such a special ability, Chef Li's culinary skills had reached a new level. He simply resigned from his position in Deyue Restaurant and opened his own private restaurant. He only cooked one table of dishes a day, and the price was at least 10,000 yuan.
Even so, the people who made reservations were still queuing up for half a year!
Wu Yongjian had met this person not long ago when he went to his place for a meal with someone else. That was how they became friends.
Chef Li belonged to the type of superhuman who specialized in life support. His level was only the lowest, Class F, but he was also considered a member of the inner world. Furthermore, he had a log-in device issued by the Supernatural Management Bureau. Occasionally, he would go online to watch the fun.
Therefore, when Wu Yongjian invited him to prepare a banquet in Zuo Yi's house, Chef Li agreed without hesitation.
It was now the era of Transcendents, and the number of Transcendents was increasing. For someone like him, who was at the bottom of the Inner World, if he could establish a relationship with Zuo Yi, the strongest Alpha, he might be able to save his life in the future.
"Greetings, Chief Zuo …"
Seeing Zuo Yi, the fat and strong Chef Li nodded and bowed, smiling from ear to ear. "I've just made a few cold platters, and there are still two dishes cooking in the stew pot."
This chef was eight feet tall and his waist was eight feet wide. He had a fat head and big ears. He looked festive, and his nose was especially large.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Zuo Yi smiled and said, "I've brought the ingredients. As for how to cook, I'm afraid it'll depend on your skills."
"No matter what the ingredients are …"
Chef Li patted his chest and said, "As long as it's fresh, I can cook it properly!"
This was his pride and confidence as a top chef.
Zuo Yi did not waste any time. He directly took out the ingredients he had collected from the Savage World from his space ring.
Due to the limited time and the fact that he could only cook one banquet at night, he did not collect many ingredients. However, there was a wide variety of ingredients.
In addition to the adductor muscle of the giant swamp clam, there were two black-scaled fish that also came from the Blackwater Swamp, about half a catty of water bamboo, black caltrops, long-barbed vegetables, a spotted tapir, and a single-horned blue sheep.
They were all real wild animals, but since they came from the Savage World, they were not protected by the law.
Seeing Zuo Yi continuously taking out ingredients from his space ring, Chef Li was completely dumbfounded.
What made him dumbfounded was not Zuo Yi's miraculous method of making things out of nothing, but that he had never seen these ingredients before.
Especially the ferocious-looking black-scaled fish, the spotted tapir, and the single-horned blue sheep. Chef Li, who was full of confidence just now, felt his face burning.
He stuttered and asked, "Where, where did these things come from?"
Zuo Yi explained, "I found them in the Savage World. I've eaten some of them before, and I heard about some of them from others …"
He briefly introduced the origins of these ingredients.
After all, Chef Li was a professional chef. After hearing about it, he was somewhat confident in his heart. He carefully took a piece of the adductor muscle of the giant clam and sniffed it with his nose.
"Amazing!"
Chef Li's eyes suddenly lit up. "This Jasper Pillar is amazing. It's absolutely delicious and very fresh. I'll try making sashimi first or use it to make porridge."
Such a huge Jasper Pillar was simply beyond imagination. The aura it emitted made Chef Li feel as if he was drunk.
The best ingredients he had encountered in the past did not give him such a feeling!
"If you like it, I'll give you two pieces later."
Zuo Yi said generously, "Then I'll leave these things to you."
"Don't worry!"
Chef Li gritted his teeth and said, "Even if I have to risk my old life, I'll make a table of top dishes!"
He called his apprentice and asked the latter to help him process the ingredients.
Zuo Yi nodded and left the kitchen with relief.
A large round table that could accommodate more than a dozen diners had been set up in the courtyard. On the table were cold dishes, fruit plates, and mooncakes.
Everyone was already seated around the dining table, chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
At this time, a full moon had risen from the east. It was bright and clear, and the moonlight was like water sprinkling on the earth. Fireflies flew into the small courtyard from nowhere. The scene seemed to be out of this world.
Looking at his relatives, lovers, and friends around him, Zuo Yi's heart was filled with joy and peace.
This was the second Mid-Autumn Festival he had spent in his hometown. Compared to last year, this year was much livelier.
The most important thing was the reunion of the family!
Bao'er asked, "Dad, can we eat now?"
Perhaps because she was too close to Teck, the little girl was becoming more and more of a foodie.
Woof!
Teck, who was squatting at her feet, agreed.
Zuo Yi smiled and touched her head. "Well, it's okay. Let's eat together."
Chef Li asked the kitchen helper to serve the first main dish, which was the giant clam sashimi. The slices were cut as thin as cicada's wings and placed on a large porcelain plate. Together with the embellishments, it looked very appetizing.
"Let me try it first."
Zuo Yi picked up a piece and put it into his mouth. It melted in his mouth and tasted very delicious. A cold liquid went straight into his stomach, but it produced a trace of warmth, making him feel comfortable all over.
"Come on, let's eat together."
After confirming that there was no problem, Zuo Yi asked everyone to taste the top ingredients from the Wilderness World.
It was the beginning of the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet.
