Staying In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 72: Brother, You've Changed

Su Fan led the person into a private room and served the dishes before leaving them alone.

He went to the backyard and saw two bronze-armored zombies busy there.

These two creatures were capable of fighting, their claws tearing people apart in an instant.

However, they were not good at delicate tasks. They could chop meat into mince, but when it came to starting a fire, they only knew how to add more firewood.

Eventually, Su Fan had them do simpler tasks.

One zombie was responsible for chopping firewood, while the other continuously flipped the grill, on which a whole sheep was being roasted. This was a type of monster called "Brown Armor Plate Lamb," a specialty of the Cangjiu Mountains.

Yes, Su Fan had included the tradition of roasting a whole lamb from his past life in the menu of his private kitchen.

The zombie chopping firewood was decent, but it didn't know how to clean up after itself.

On the other hand, the zombie flipping the grill did a good job. It tirelessly kept flipping the grill for several hours.

Swish! Su Fan suddenly felt a chill behind him and saw Sister Sadako appear, transmitting a thought to his mind.

He turned around and went to a row of hanging stoves and barrels, lifting the lid to take a look.

Hmm, the fire was just right.

Su Fan glanced at Sister Sadako behind him and gave her an encouraging look.

Sister Sadako was good. She could help him take care of the stove and barrels.

After all, she was a Ghost Soldier-level Yin Spirit, highly sensitive to changes in temperature and precise in controlling the fire.

Now, this courtyard had at least two tables every day, and sometimes even five or six.

For Su Fan, it wasn't really a big deal.

Because these people were all here for lunch, and there weren't any difficult dishes. Even if ten tables came, he could easily handle it.

As the other two tables arrived one after another, Su Fan had nothing to do and went back to his original courtyard to cultivate.

There was no need to leave anyone here. Several barrels of strong liquor were placed in the courtyard, and anyone who wanted to drink could help themselves.

Various fresh fruits, dried fruits, preserved fruits, melons, vegetables, refreshing pickles, and some worldly pastries were arranged in the main hall. Even condiments and dipping sauces were labeled and stored in small jars, just like in his past life.

Customers could choose and use them freely.

Except for the main dishes, Su Fan prepared enough for the number of people.

Other side dishes were completely self-service style. People could take whatever they wanted.

After finishing their meal, these people would leave a few spirit stones on the table and quietly leave.

Those who had eaten here found the self-service style quite novel.

Even paying for the meal was based on their own conscience, with a lot of flexibility.

Doing this in Ashen Dove City would definitely not work. Those Independent Cultivators would take advantage of you.

But the people who came here were all young disciples of the Shifting Yin Sect, and they cared about their reputation. They wouldn't stoop so low.

They came here specifically for this taste, which couldn't be found elsewhere.

Anyway, "Su's Private Kitchen" had been open for less than a month, and business was getting better and better.

Now it was early winter, and the weather was gradually getting colder.

Coming here to enjoy a meal of traditional Beijing hot pot, Sichuan spicy hot pot, or Cantonese hot pot was extremely satisfying with the steam rising.

Or they could have some clay pot dishes and dry pot dishes, with charcoal burning underneath, the pots bubbling with steam, accompanied by a few ounces of worldly strong liquor.

That taste would leave even immortals bewildered.

The next day, Liu He came excitedly, his face beaming.

"Big brother, Senior Sister was very satisfied yesterday."

Su Fan glanced at him and jokingly said, "What's this? Do you like this Senior Sister?"

Liu He was so scared that he almost sat on the ground, quickly waving his hands to deny it.

"Big brother, please don't harm me. She is a descendant of the Gold Core family and is highly respected in the inner sect. I have always wanted to become her disciple, but no one pays attention to me."

Su Fan frowned. Was the situation in the sect really this chaotic?

"Don't you have many influential families in the inner sect?"

"They are all descendants of various families within the sect. They stick together and compete for resources."

"Yesterday, your senior sister was satisfied with you. You can consider yourself as entering her door."

Liu He immediately became excited and showed off on his face.

"Well... from now on, in the inner sect, at least it won't be like before. I also have someone to rely on."

Looking at Liu He's appearance, Su Fan shook his head.

After finally entering the inner sect, why not focus on diligent cultivation? Why bother with these crooked paths?

"So, you've made it big. Does that mean I have to pay my respects to you when you come?"

Even if Liu He was foolish, he could tell that Su Fan was mocking him with those words.

"Big brother, we are brothers. How can I treat you like that? I joined this sect not to cause trouble, but to have a more comfortable life in the inner sect."

Su Fan couldn't be bothered to deal with him and continued to draw symbols on his own.

"Tomorrow, senior sister wants to reserve a table. We need more people, around a dozen."

Looking at Liu He's sycophantic appearance, Su Fan felt a bit emotional.

Brother, you've changed.

"Just for this, you came all the way here?"

"No... not really. I mainly wanted to come and see you."

"Well... come then, have you decided what you want to eat?"

Liu He thought for a moment and said, "Then let's have hot pot, skewers, and roast duck..."

What kind of eating style is this? Can you even eat all of that together?

Fine, if you say you can, then you can.

The next day, before noon, Su Fan prepared several main dishes.

Nowadays, Su Fan has become more particular, especially about ingredients. He tries to choose Spirit Beast meat whenever possible.

Even for grilling, he uses spirit wood charcoal, and many of the seasonings he chooses are also spiritual materials.

Even so, the cost can be ignored.

Whether the taste is good or not is uncertain, but the level of various dishes has clearly improved. They can now be considered as spiritual food.

The restaurants in the city are the same. Who doesn't brag?

When the senior sister from the inner sect arrived, her momentum was like the leader of a gang bringing her followers to make trouble.

She was followed by more than a dozen inner sect disciples, walking with a breeze and even having their own background music.

Liu He couldn't squeeze in at all and could only follow behind like a lackey.

Fortunately, when designing the private rooms, Su Fan deliberately left a larger one that could accommodate more than ten people.

It's not easy to accommodate such a large group of people.

After arranging the tables, Su Fan returned to his small courtyard and focused on practicing spells.

He took a duck out of the cage and cast three spells on it in turn.

There's no way around it. The spells of the curse path must have a target to cast on in order to improve proficiency.

Su Fan once summoned two zombies, but it didn't work. The curse path had no effect on evil and ghostly creatures, and the proficiency increased very slowly.

Fortunately, the roast duck sells quickly recently, so he finally has a target to cast spells on.

But these ducks have suffered a lot. Every day, Su Fan tortures them to the point of death, carrying a grudge as they enter the oven.

After causing harm to a few ducks, Su Fan sighed.

This won't do. The ducks can't withstand his torment at all. Customers have even complained that the ducks are not as tender as before.
