Staying In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 71: Su's Private Dishes

Now that Liu He has become an inner disciple, it's quite a blow to his previous fellow outer disciples.

Although many look down on him, there are always people who flatter and curry favor with him.

I guess these two guys are that type, coming all the way to Hongye Lane just to have a meal. They must be really lacking in brains.

Because of the rush, Su Fan took the easy way out and made a Sichuan-style hot pot.

The base of the pot was made by Su Fan himself and the taste was not bad.

The ingredients were thin slices of iron-skinned beef tenderloin and brain, cut evenly into small pieces and arranged on a plate.

There were also beef tripe, yellow throat, beef meatballs, duck intestines, duck blood, mushrooms, and various types of vegetables.

Su Fan brought the pot to the table, arranged the ingredients, and then went back to his room.

He didn't have time to accompany them. Drinking and bragging were all they knew. Instead of that, why not practice some spells?

Anyway, in the future, he must make it clear to Liu He that he can come alone, but bringing others is absolutely not allowed.

Liu He and his group spent nearly two hours on the meal, enjoying it to the fullest. They also had some drinks and were all in high spirits.

When they were about to leave, an outer disciple put two middle-grade spirit stones on the table.

Su Fan was a bit confused. They were actually paying.

Apart from the effort put into the condiments, the other ingredients had almost no cost.

Two middle-grade spirit stones seemed a bit too much.

How could he accept this?

A few days later, Liu He came early.

When he saw Su Fan, he looked embarrassed.

"Big brother, it's my fault. I won't bring anyone here anymore."

Su Fan was anxious when he heard this. How could that be?

But he didn't show it and maintained a calm expression.

"If you want to bring them, go ahead. There aren't many people here on regular days, so it'll be more lively with more people."

"Really..."

Liu He became excited. The two people he brought last time have been looking for him these past few days, wanting to come again for a meal.

"If they want to come, let them come. It's not like they won't pay."

Liu He ignored Su Fan's words, thinking he was joking.

People like Liu He, who grew up in the sect and had his father taking care of him, had no concept of spirit stones.

He didn't think Su Fan was doing it for the spirit stones, but rather for his face.

"Can I bring them over tomorrow?"

Liu He cautiously looked at Su Fan's expression, afraid that he would refuse.

Su Fan had no expression on his face, but he was already overjoyed in his heart. If you're giving spirit stones, you can come every day.

"Um... then come."

Damn it, four middle-grade spirit stones. Even if I set up a stall for a whole day, I wouldn't earn that much.

"Big brother, this time I want to bring a few more people and have that hot pot again."

"Sure, let me know in advance when you guys are coming."

Liu He took out a communication talisman and said he would use it to notify Su Fan.

Two days later, Liu He brought five or six people with him, and Su Fan was already prepared.

This time, he was more meticulous, whether it was the ingredients, dipping sauces, or the presentation, everything had a sense of ceremony.

In addition, he also prepared a non-spicy hot pot for those who couldn't eat spicy food.

These people were also Liu He's fellow outer disciples, all of whom held lucrative positions in the Outer Affairs Hall.

Just like last time, they enjoyed the meal very much.

After a few drinks, they left with flushed faces.

When Su Fan went out to check, he found four middle-grade spirit stones on the table in the hall.

This...

Too polite, there's no need for so much.

Muttering like this, but already feeling ecstatic in his heart.

In the following period, Liu He would occasionally bring people over for a meal.

At first, it was probably to get on good terms with Liu He, but after eating once, they couldn't forget it.

Later on, even some of the outer disciples brought people over themselves.

Of course, Su Fan welcomed them with open arms. It's better to bring people along.

He doesn't even set up his stall anymore.

After a day of running around, he doesn't earn much without cooking a meal. How can he bear it?

Actually, Su Fan's cooking skills aren't that great, definitely not comparable to the head chef at Ling Food Restaurant.

But dishes like hot pot and skewers, these delicacies from his previous life, can still captivate the taste buds of most people in this world.

And if judged by the standards of the restaurants in the city, Su Fan's dishes can also be considered as Ling Food.

After all, the iron-skinned wild bull is also a monster.

And these young disciples from the sect are quite generous, leaving behind several middle-grade spirit stones each time they come.

If calculated like this, Su Fan can earn several thousand spirit stones in a month at least.

In order to keep these people, he uses all kinds of methods, such as hanging skewers, Peking roast duck, pan-fried steak, and the four major cuisines.

The alcohol he buys in the mundane world is all fiery liquor that sets the body aflame.

Although it's not spirit wine, it's still very popular.

Why? Because it's satisfying.

Su Fan's little courtyard has become more and more lively, with people coming almost every day.

As more and more people came, the small courtyard seemed too small.

Su Fan specifically rented a larger courtyard nearby and converted several rooms into private rooms.

All that's missing is a sign that says "Su's Private Kitchen".

Now, Su Fan holds a bunch of communication talismans in his hand and only accepts advance reservations, not receiving any others.

On this day, Su Fan was preparing ingredients when the communication talisman in his pocket rang.

He took out a communication talisman and heard Liu He's voice.

"Big brother, reserve a table for tomorrow, make sure it's done well. Some inner disciples are coming."

Su Fan curled his lips, what's so great about inner disciples?

He said this out loud, but in his heart, he was calculating whether the inner disciples would give him more spirit stones.

After all, this was something personally instructed by Liu He, so Su Fan was more concerned.

Skewers, fillet steak, along with some refreshing side dishes, and a pot of tender and delicious soup, that should be enough.

At noon, Liu He led a few people to the front gate of the courtyard.

Liu He brought three inner disciples, two males and one female.

That girl was quite pretty, but even after flying here for an hour to eat, she still had a dissatisfied expression.

"So many restaurants in the city, why did we have to come to this rundown place?"

The two male disciples just smiled and listened, not saying anything.

Liu He smiled awkwardly and said, "You should have eaten at most of the restaurants in the city, so I chose this place for a different flavor."

The girl showed impatience on her face, gave Liu He a disdainful look, and walked into the courtyard.

Just then, Su Fan came out of the house and saw the expression on the girl's face, as well as the two people beside her who were just here to watch the show.

He immediately understood that Liu He had suffered a loss.

Why bother? They clearly look down on you, yet you still insist on saving face.

Of course, this has nothing to do with him.

As long as you give spirit stones, the customer is god.

Su Fan led the group of people to the private room, and the girl kept complaining along the way, only stopping after entering the room.
