A Bite of Douluo Continent

Chapter 236 Boss Qi is truly unfathomable

Yu Hua's wait did not last long.

One piece of pork belly from a rare pig is enough to cut into four cubes, each ten centimeters long and wide, to serve as the raw material for cooking four portions of Qing Dynasty Imperial Braised Pork.

In addition, the cooking process of Qing Palace Wanfu Meat allows for the cooking of multiple portions at once, so in fact, when Tang Qianqiu's portion was finished, Yu Hua's portion was also finished.

The reason for serving the dishes later is mainly to wait for his boiled cabbage in clear broth.

"Senior Yu, your boiled cabbage in clear broth and Qing Dynasty-style braised pork are ready."

As Fuya carefully placed the boiled cabbage in front of Yu Hua, Gulu also jumped up and presented the Qing Dynasty-style braised pork he was carrying to Yu Hua.

In the next instant, strange phenomena surged. This time, the phenomenon was not only the celestial light shining on the heavens, but also the phenomenon associated with boiled cabbage: golden lotuses growing in the Jade Pool.

Two extraordinary phenomena intertwined in the air, attracting the attention of all the diners.

After admiring the captivating spectacle, Yu Hua's gaze did not fall on the dishes, but slowly settled on Gulu, who was squatting on the table.

He noticed the new changes in the small shop when Gulu was serving the dishes.

"what?"

He noticed Gulu's strangeness at first glance.

Although Yu Hua, as the head of the medicine hall, mainly deals with rare and precious herbs, he also has some research on soul beasts.

At this moment, he was completely unable to match the soul beast in front of him, which clearly had soul power fluctuations at the level of a hundred-year-old soul beast, with any soul beast he knew.

"A mutated soul beast? Or an unknown soul beast?" Yu Hua's face showed a hint of curiosity, and he subconsciously reached out to touch Gulu.

"Meow!" Gulu's face became wary, its pupils slowly narrowed, and its fur stood on end. It was a soul beast's instinct that made it vaguely sense the terrifying strength of the old man in front of it.

That's enough power to easily take its life.

But when it met Yu Hua's gaze, its pupils slowly relaxed.

There was no malice in the other person's eyes, only curiosity and goodwill.

Seeing that Gulu had relaxed, Yu Hua picked it up and carefully stroked its body hidden under its long fur, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Such vigorous vitality!"

Upon direct touch, Yu Hua, who had long been dealing with life energy, instantly detected the immense life force hidden within the little guy.

A hundred-year-old soul beast possesses a life force comparable to that of most thousand-year-old soul beasts, or even weaker ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.

Moreover, judging from its reaction and the way it carried the plate, this soul beast is clearly more intelligent than a typical hundred-year-old soul beast.

This little beast is absolutely extraordinary.

Seeing that Gulu seemed a little nervous, Yu Hua smiled kindly, put it back on the table, and turned to Fuya, "What is this cat?"

“This is the boss’s cat from Xingluo City. I don’t know exactly how it got here.” Fuya smiled slightly and picked up Gulu. “But it’s a new waiter in our shop now.”

"Soul beasts as waiters?" Yu Hua chuckled. "Interesting."

After Fuya carried Gulu away, Yu Hua finally turned his attention to the dishes in front of him.

He had already seen the Qing Dynasty-style braised pork, so he quickly turned his attention to the boiled cabbage in clear broth on the other side.

His first thought upon seeing this dish was...

The old tit will surely love this dish.

Immediately, a smile appeared in his eyes.

That old sparrow went to Xingluo City to steal food with the old monkey yesterday without inviting me. As a result, I missed Boss Qi by some twist of fate. He really deserved it.

After admiring the exquisitely presented boiled cabbage, Yu Hua picked up his chopsticks and reached for the Qing Dynasty-style braised pork next to him.

After all, he was more concerned about whether the poison from the pills and medicines could be removed than about improving his innate soul power level.

After just one bite of pork belly, Yu Hua's face showed a satisfied expression.

This dish has such a rich meaty flavor and such a wonderful texture; the old monkey will definitely love it.

As he thought about it, he soon felt a warm current rising in his stomach, and his expression became more serious.

The warm current flowing through his limbs and bones gave Yu Hua a feeling of comfort.

As if he had just stepped out of a sauna, his body felt noticeably lighter in an instant.

At the same time, the flow of his soul power accelerated, and the previously blocked feeling began to show signs of being relieved.

Wow... it worked so quickly?

Yu Hua was taken aback at first, then overjoyed.

My soul power level is likely to break through!

Feeling the gradual relaxation within his body, Yu Hua began to eat even faster.

On the one hand, the deliciousness of the Qing Dynasty Imperial Blessing Meat was so tempting that one felt hungrier the more one ate. On the other hand, Yu Hua was already eager to completely remove the erysipelas and drug poisoning from his body.

When the small cup was completely empty, Yu Hua's face was full of smiles.

The erysipelas and drug poisoning in his body have been completely removed.

Moreover, many of the injuries he had suffered in the past, the hidden wounds and chronic illnesses that had never been able to heal completely, also disappeared entirely.

A look of surprise flashed in his eyes. Only after he finished eating all the side dishes in the small cup did he speak softly, "Sect Master, what are those lotus seeds?"

He had some guesses in his mind, but he was hesitant to believe them.

If that's the case, isn't Boss Qi being a bit too extravagant?

"You can taste it too?" Tang Qianqiu smiled. "That's right, the lotus seeds in this dish are the lotus seeds of the Nine-Life Pure World Lotus."

"Hiss..." Yu Hua took a deep breath, his heart once again shaken.

He had only ever heard of the Nine-Life Pure Lotus in his life, never seen it before. He never expected that Boss Qi would use it to cook dishes, and that such a wasteful dish would have a full nine of them.

However, thinking about the dish's amazing effects, he fell silent.

It doesn't seem like such a waste?

Setting aside the small bowl of Qing Dynasty-style braised pork, Yu Hua turned his gaze to the boiled cabbage in clear broth on the other side.

He picked up the spoon beside him, scooped up a spoonful of soup with a piece of cabbage, put it in his mouth, and sipped it slightly.

The cabbage melts in your mouth, creating a perfect and multi-dimensional taste when combined with the rich and flavorful broth.

It was clearly just a bowl of soup, colorless and as clear as water, without even a glimmer of oil, yet it seemed to contain all the delicious flavors in the world. Such magical culinary skills were truly astonishing and left one in awe.

What a delicious boiled cabbage dish!

After briefly savoring the texture of the cabbage slowly melting in his mouth, Yu Hua's expression suddenly became somewhat strange.

The texture... the taste...

Why does it feel so familiar?

"Jade apricot and delicate vegetable?" Yu Hua exclaimed in a low voice, having once again discovered the true nature of this so-called cabbage.

Is this also such a precious natural treasure?

“Indeed, it is the Jade Apricot Delight.” Tang Qianqiu’s face showed a strange expression.

Although it wasn't the first time she'd found out, Tang Qianqiu still felt a pang of anxiety every time she thought about the ingredients for these dishes.

Whether it's the Jade Apricot Delight or the Nine-Life Pure Lotus, they are both special natural treasures that do not exist in the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.

Even though it is very precious to him, it is sold here like cabbage and ordinary lotus seeds, with no limit on quantity.

This Boss Qi, and the vast and mysterious force behind him, are truly unfathomable.

Although he was filled with emotion, Tang Qianqiu did not forget that he had come here to have a meal.

He and Cao Rang quickly ordered their desired dishes and, after a short wait, began to enjoy their delicious food.

After a hearty meal, Tang Qianqiu glanced at the pile of empty plates on the table and sighed softly.

"What a pity, there's no hot pot."

Upon hearing this, Cao Rang nodded vigorously.

He hadn't had hot pot for a few days and was really craving that magical and delicious way of eating it.

At this moment, countless question marks appeared on the faces of both Yu Hua and Qi Poxiao.

What is hot pot?

Are these two hiding something from us?

"Senior...Senior!" The socially awkward Ye Haoran mustered his courage and looked at Fuya in front of him, "I want a crab-stuffed orange, a xiaolongbao, and..."

His tone became a little hesitant, "Another order of foil-baked pig brains, please."

When asked about the order, Fuya simply smiled and nodded, wrote it down, and then turned and walked towards the kitchen.

Seeing that his senior was alright, Ye Haoran finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Ever since he mistook Boss Qi for an evil spirit master two months ago because of the foil-baked pig brains, and killed him on the spot, this descendant of the Holy Angel family has been so embarrassed every time he orders foil-baked pig brains, for fear that Fuya will laugh at him.

Although this has never happened before.

You ask him why he still wants to eat?

Perhaps it's because he can't resist the taste of braised pig brains in tin foil.

Ye Haoran hadn't tasted the delicious cold food for a month.

Such a long wait, and Shrek Academy's delicious food could no longer fill the void in his heart.

and…

With the Cold Food Festival approaching and the doors closed, Ye Haoran couldn't find a reason to talk to his crush, a senior student.

Although it was just a normal order of food, Ye Haoran felt extremely satisfied when he heard his senior's gentle voice.
