Upon arriving at the kitchen inside the immortal abode, True Lord Liuyun began busily directing the cooking process.
Shen He was very familiar with this.
She used to practice asceticism in the mountains. Although she only ate herbs that calmed the mind, she would sometimes help her master cook.
Gan Yu's movements were a bit clumsy when she tried to help.
She used to work at Yuehaiting, so she really didn't have much experience in this area.
Fortunately, the mechanisms are all very simple to operate; the main problem is handling the ingredients.
"Look at this exquisite little soup pot. It enhances the flavor and tastes better than ordinary soup pots."
Gan Yu glanced at it.
That's it?
It doesn't taste as good as the "Jade Dragon Pot" at the restaurant.
While giving instructions, True Lord Liuyun muttered a few more words.
"Can you smell it? Doesn't it smell delicious? Gan Yu, remember what I told you. Although my cooking is very tasty, you can't eat too much at noon, or you'll gain weight..."
Gan Yu paused for a moment.
"Master, this won't do. Mr. Xia's dishes are much better."
"he?"
"Um,"
"Don't talk nonsense, he can't cook anything."
True Lord Liuyun disagreed.
She knew Xia Zhi's cooking skills all too well.
During the time they traveled together, he grilled fish and fed it to her; the taste was barely palatable.
What makes it delicious?
Hmph, let me give him and you a little magical surprise later!
Chapter 398 A Debt That Cannot Be Repaid (This chapter has been revised)
Before long, Gan Yu returned and told everyone that it was time to eat.
So fast?
Everyone followed Gan Yu to the restaurant, which was actually a floating island. There was a large table with more than a dozen dishes on it.
It has both meat and vegetables, making it quite abundant.
Shen Hezheng lifted something that looked like a wooden bucket with one hand.
She placed it on the table, lifted the lid, and a wisp of steam rose out, revealing perfectly cooked white rice, each grain plump and full.
Just as everyone sat down, they saw True Monarch Liuyun arrive, with several plates of food floating beside her.
Because she cannot take human form, she can only use the power of wind to replace her hands and help her move things.
Several plates were placed steadily on the table, demonstrating Liu Yun Zhenjun's skillful control over the power of the wind element.
Liu Yun Zhenjun said, "You came in a hurry today, and I didn't prepare anything in advance, so I could only make these things to entertain you."
Xia Zhi waved his hand: "You're too kind, True Lord. These dishes are already very plentiful, and we can't possibly finish them all."
Liu Yun laughed and said, "It's alright. If we can't finish it, we can just give it to Guoba to deal with."
Guoba raised its head, looking blank.
"Come, everyone! Don't be shy! Try my cooking!"
"Very well, thank you for your hard work, True Lord."
Under the warm invitation of True Lord Liuyun, everyone picked up their chopsticks and began to eat.
With a confident expression, True Lord Liuyun asked, "How was it?"
Xia Zhi nodded and said with a smile, "Not bad."
This is what he means.
Although these dishes were made by a culinary machine, they were almost as good as the dishes at Liuli Pavilion in terms of taste and cooking time.
It is evident that True Lord Liuyun truly put in the effort to study these things.
This behavior and spirit deserve recognition.
Grandma Ping tasted it and looked a little surprised.
Liu Yun once demonstrated these cooking mechanisms to her old friends, but the dishes she made back then didn't taste as good as they do now.
It is likely that Liu Yun later improved these mechanisms.
Everyone else joined in the praise.
Liu Yun Zhenjun said with a satisfied look, "Don't be shy, eat as much as you like."
"okay……"
Gan Yu finished a bowl of rice and got up to go to the kitchen.
Liu Yun Zhenjun called out to her, "Gan Yu, the food is here."
"I know."
"Come and get some more rice."
"No, Master, I don't want more rice, I'm full..."
Liu Yun immediately started nagging: "You child! You're so old, why are you still so stubborn? I just said a few words to you. I only told you not to eat too much, not that you can only eat one bowl. Is it really necessary to throw such a tantrum?"
Gan Yu looked helpless: "Master, it has nothing to do with you, I just can't eat anymore."
"What do you mean you can't eat? When you were little, you used to eat more than ten meals a day..."
"Master!"
Hearing True Monarch Liuyun suddenly start recounting his embarrassing childhood memories, Gan Yu's face flushed slightly. She quickly interrupted him.
"Say less!"
"What's the big deal... Okay, let's not talk about it..."
Despite being stared at by Gan Yu, True Lord Liuyun still did not persist.
Gan Yu breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and saw the others looking at her with curiosity. Her face immediately turned red again, and she quickly turned and walked away towards the kitchen.
"This child..." True Monarch Liuyun shook his head, watching Gan Yu's retreating figure, and looked at Shen He. "Shen He, eat more. You used to only eat herbs, but now that things have changed, you should eat more good food to nourish your body."
Shen He calmly replied, "Okay, Master."
After thinking for a moment, Liu Yun Zhenjun said, "Speaking of nourishment, the most effective one should be [Immortal Jumps Over the Wall]. I happen to know how to make it, and I have also collected the ingredients. Since you are back this time, I will make it for you to try."
"God Jumps Over the Wall?"
Everyone's expressions turned somewhat strange upon hearing the familiar name of the dish.
Liu Yun Zhenjun nodded: "Yes, this is a dish with a very complicated and difficult process, but it tastes very good. You probably haven't eaten it before."
Everyone's expressions became even stranger: "We..."
Xia Zhi coughed and said.
"We've never eaten it before."
That's the truth. Those two times he did it weren't "immortals jumping over the wall," but "gods jumping over the wall."
The two dishes are similar in preparation but use vastly different ingredients, so they cannot be considered the same dish.
Liu Yun said, "Don't worry, this time you will all get what you want. However, this dish needs a long time to simmer and cook. You will have to wait until tomorrow to eat it."
Xia Zhi smiled and agreed, but the strange feeling of going back to his mother-in-law's house to visit relatives and being warmly received by his mother-in-law, who wanted to bring out all the good things in her house for him to use, was even stronger.
Since my mother-in-law wants to cook, I'll just go along with it for now.
--
After finishing their meal, everyone chatted for a while before starting their afternoon recreational activity—fishing by the large lake outside the Immortal Abode.
Liu Yun Zhenjun didn't go; she and Shen He were busy in the kitchen preparing "Immortal Jumps Over the Wall".
"Master, where's the clay pot?"
"Why use a clay pot? Just use a small soup pot to stew it."
"The soup pot is in the dining area, and it seems like the rice crust hasn't been finished yet."
"I'll go over and take a look."
Liu Yun Zhenjun walked out of the kitchen and into the dining room.
Guoba is working hard to cook rice all by itself.
Liu Yun Zhenjun walked up to it, looked at his old friend's incomplete state of mind, and then thought of himself now that he had been reduced to his original form, and couldn't help but feel a little sympathy in his eyes.
