As Qi Han savored the lingering taste of the Boiled Cabbage in Clear Broth, he began to ponder a significant question.
Maybe... he shouldn't save any for the Qin sisters and just finish the remaining two portions himself.
It was so delicious that it felt insufficient.
However, this thought only lingered briefly in his mind before dissipating.
After all... the sisters had already arrived.
Seeing the Qin sisters and the long queue outside the door, Qi Han walked to the entrance of Small Shop's restaurant and opened the door.
"Come in," he said with a smile as he looked at the Qin sisters.
Just then, Qi Han noticed Tang Qianqiu dressed in a golden robe at the front of the line, with Cao Rang behind him. He politely nodded at them, "Greetings, Senior Tang and Senior Cao."
"Boss Qi, no need to be so polite," Tang Qianqiu smiled reservedly, curiosity evident in his eyes as he asked, "Boss Qi, was that disturbance earlier caused by Fish Belly Stuffed with Lamb?"
Qi Han shook his head with a smile, "It's another new dish, but Fish Belly Stuffed with Lamb will be available today too."
"Oh?" Tang Qianqiu and Cao Rang's eyes lit up.
Another new dish? Could there be another dish that could cause such a fluctuation in the world's energy like Fish Belly Stuffed with Lamb? Would it also have such miraculous effects?
They were extremely curious.
Cao Rang chuckled, "In that case, Sect Master and I might have to spend a lot today, haha."
Qi Han smiled and nodded, closing the door.
It wasn't business hours yet.
Star Remnant Douluo's hand, hidden in his sleeve, clenched into a fist and then slowly relaxed.
When the restaurant owner appeared earlier, he had wanted to restrain him and question him about the fluctuation in the world's energy. However, seeing Tang Qianqiu and Cao Rang conversing with him so amicably, Star Remnant Douluo hesitated and eventually gave up.
The two big shots seemed familiar with the restaurant owner. Forcing a confrontation might not be wise, and he wasn't sure if Tang Qianqiu and Cao Rang would intervene on the owner's behalf.
Better to observe for now.
Meanwhile, Tyrant Blade Douluo kept chattering non-stop beside him, making Star Remnant Douluo's relaxed hand clench into a fist again.
He really wanted to punch him!
But he couldn't beat him...
...
As soon as they entered the restaurant, Qin Yao hurriedly asked, "Boss, is that uncle who often comes to our shop the Sect Master of Tang Sect?"
She still felt like she was dreaming.
That middle-aged man who often appeared in the hotpot area on the second floor frequently chatted with Qin Yao. Sometimes, when he was in a good mood, he would even have a conversation with her.
She thought he was just an ordinary neighborhood uncle, but today he appeared wearing the golden uniform of Tang Sect?
Qin Yao knew very well what the golden robe of Tang Sect represented.
It was a symbol worn only by the Sect Master of Tang Sect.
And the current Sect Master of Tang Sect was none other than the legendary Limit Douluo, Tang Qianqiu.
Qin Yao felt completely overwhelmed.
Qi Han nodded, "Yes, that senior is indeed the Sect Master of Tang Sect."
As soon as he spoke, he noticed his two waitresses looking at him with eyes full of admiration.
The Sect Master of Tang Sect personally came to eat at his restaurant. Could there be anything more honorable?
That was the number one sect on the continent!
Qi Han, however, didn't have much of a reaction. After all, Tang Qianqiu had long been a regular at Small Shop, frequently visiting even back when they were at the Shrek City Small Shop. He was used to it.
Qi Han's calm demeanor made the Qin sisters feel that their boss was becoming increasingly mysterious.
"Enough about that." Qi Han pointed to the menu on the wall, "The restaurant has two new dishes. Take a look."
When the Qin sisters heard there were new dishes, their attention immediately shifted to the menu.
"Boss, did you add an extra zero to the prices by mistake?" Qin Yue blurted out instinctively, making Qi Han chuckle.
It seemed Fu Ya had asked the same question once.
"No, these dishes are indeed priced that way," Qi Han replied with a slight smile, pointing to the Boiled Cabbage in Clear Broth on the menu. "You'll get to taste the Boiled Cabbage in Clear Broth at lunch today. As for the other dish, Fish Belly Stuffed with Lamb, it can't be offered as a staff meal for now."
Qi Han wasn't being stingy; consuming Fish Belly Stuffed with Lamb would put them into deep meditation for 24 hours, which would leave the shop without any staff. It would be hard for him to find two replacement waitresses quickly in Star Luo City.
The Qin sisters had no objections. They were already satisfied with the opportunity to taste a dish worth 1.000 Gold Coins. After some discussion, they decided to change their lunch plan.
They would have lunch on the first floor and enjoy hotpot in the evening!
After ordering their preferred dishes, the sisters sat at a table and waited while Qi Han returned to the kitchen.
"Sis, what do you think a dish costing a thousand Gold Coins tastes like?" Qin Yue asked, her eyes shining with curiosity as she glanced at the menu again.
Previously, the most expensive dish was already a hundred Gold Coins, which they found worth the price after tasting.
But a thousand Gold Coins? What kind of extraordinary taste could justify a price ten times higher than the Dongpo Pork Knuckle?
"I have no idea," Qin Yao murmured after a moment of contemplation, her gaze fixed on the busy Qi Han in the kitchen, lost in thought.
After a while, Qi Han brought out the dishes they had ordered and, finally, placed two bowls of Boiled Cabbage in Clear Broth before them.
As soon as the Boiled Cabbage in Clear Broth was revealed, the ambient energy of heaven and earth began to fluctuate again. It was as if invisible hands gathered the energy into two dense, misty clouds above the table.
The Qin sisters had never seen such a sight and were stunned.
Before long, the misty clouds condensed, and an extraordinary heavenly phenomenon unfolded.
Two golden lotuses slowly emerged from the jade pool, their buds blossoming gracefully. Numerous auspicious signs appeared, celebrating the lotuses' splendor. This magical scene left the Qin sisters in awe.
Eventually, the heavenly phenomenon faded, and the sisters snapped back to reality. Qin Yue gave a small shiver before turning her attention to the bowl of Boiled Cabbage in Clear Broth in front of her.
The clear, colorless broth held a piece of cabbage that bore a striking resemblance to the golden lotus from the heavenly phenomenon.
She nudged her sister, bringing Qin Yao back to her senses, and carefully scooped up a spoonful of broth with a lotus petal-shaped piece of cabbage.
The cabbage, sculpted into the shape of a lotus petal, had soaked up the broth's essence. As soon as it entered her mouth, it melted, releasing a burst of flavors. The delicate yet harmonious taste of the broth and cabbage exploded, making Qin Yue's eyes widen in delight as every taste bud on her tongue seemed to cheer.
Could something really taste this amazing?
Qin Yue suddenly felt that a thousand Gold Coins for this dish wasn't expensive at all.
