Becoming The Food God In This Cultivation World

After savoring a spoonful of Egg Fried Rice, Ji Yunruo, delighted by the long-lost delicacy, turned her attention to the Kung Pao chicken beside it.

Due to her previous order of Smashed Cucumber, Ji Yunruo was proficient with chopsticks. She skillfully picked up a piece of chicken and placed it in her mouth. Her eyes lit up with joy.

The chicken was tender and succulent, with a rich and flavorful sauce on the surface. The sensation of the almost bursting texture brought Ji Yunruo an entirely new experience.

Qi Han, sitting across from Ji Yunruo, unsurprisingly witnessed the swaying of her cat tail and even the emergence of pointed cat ears.

Realizing what happened, Ji Yunruo hastily retracted her cat ears and tail, her face blushing even more.

The three of them quickly finished their working meals. Fu Ya, familiar with the routine, promptly cleaned the plates.

With a few minutes left before the Small Shop opened, Qi Han looked at the three employees in front of him and suddenly had a peculiar idea.

With the 2 1 Star Optional Recipe Fragments from before, along with the 1 Star Optional Recipe Fragment obtained from completing the Time-limited Quest after hiring Ji Yunruo, Qi Han now had 3 unused 1 Star Optional Recipe Fragments.

This meant he could exchange them for 3 1 Star recipes.

Since there were 3 employees, why not let them suggest new dishes?

With this thought in mind, Qi Han cleared his throat. “Do you have any ideas for new dishes for the Small Shop?”

The 3 women looked at each other in surprise. Fu Ya instinctively spoke, “Kung Pao chicken is delicious, and it pairs well with Egg Fried Rice.”

Hearing this, the other two, who had also tasted the Kung Pao chicken, nodded in agreement.

“No, no, no,” Qi Han chuckled, “I didn’t mean Kung Pao chicken. I’m asking if you think the Small Shop is missing any new dishes.”

Understanding the question, the 3 women exchanged glances, and then a hint of hesitation appeared on their faces.

Every dish in the Small Shop was delicious. Was there really anything missing?

Fu Ya, being a seasoned employee of the Small Shop, had a better understanding of its situation. She quickly came up with an idea, “Boss, I think the Small Shop lacks some staple dishes. Currently, besides ordering other dishes, customers can only choose Egg Fried Rice as their main dish. Although no one has expressed dissatisfaction, having only one option for the main dish may not be ideal.”

This was indeed a piece of practical advice.

Almost every customer who visited the Small Shop would order a serving of Egg Fried Rice. After all, it was impossible to have a meal without a main dish.

Even though Egg Fried Rice was delicious, loved by almost everyone, and no one had expressed boredom with it, the lack of variety in main dishes might be noticed by customers.

Qi Han’s eyes lit up. Indeed, asking employees for suggestions was a wise move. If he had to decide on his own, he might not have thought of this aspect.

Feeling a craving for staple food, Qi Han thought about choosing a noodle dish. He remembered seeing various types of noodles in the 1 Star recipe catalog.

He looked forward to selecting a good one later!

He then turned his hopeful gaze toward Yin Shuang and Ji Yunruo.

However, compared to Fu Ya, who was familiar with the Small Shop, Yin Shuang and Ji Yunruo were not as acquainted. Their faces showed signs of hesitation.

Qi Han smiled slightly and came up with a new idea.

“Don’t be nervous. You should be familiar with the dishes currently available in the Small Shop. Just suggest something you’d like to eat, but it should be a food item not currently on the Small Shop’s menu.”

This method was excellent!

Yin Shuang and Ji Yunruo’s eyes brightened, and suddenly, their thought processes opened up.

After a moment of contemplation, Yin Shuang had an idea. “Boss, I want to eat baozi!”

Hmm?

Qi Han’s eyes instantly brightened.

Although there were baozi in the Douluo Continent, they were typically simple meat buns. They tasted good, but compared to the rich culture of baozi in his previous life, it was a world of difference.

In that instant, Qi Han had the embryonic form of a new dish in mind. All he needed to do was select one from the recipe catalog.

Giving Yin Shuang an approving look, Qi Han cheerfully said, “No problem, let’s go for baozi!”

Next, Qi Han shifted his gaze to Ji Yunruo.

Ji Yunruo suddenly became nervous, feeling a similar sensation to when a teacher singled her out to answer questions back in the Junior Spirit Master Academy.

“Um,” Ji Yunruo pondered for a moment and then her eyes lit up, “I like sweet things. Can we have desserts?”

Desserts.

There was a sudden silence.

“If desserts are not possible, sweet fruit juice like Qinan Juice is also okay,” Ji Yunruo quickly added, feeling that her request might be a bit too much.

How could she ask a restaurant for desserts? Such a request seemed excessive.

“No,” Qi Han lifted his head, a confident smile on his face. “Desserts it is; that’s a great idea.”

At this moment, like a flash of lightning, a classic snack unique to the Earth suddenly appeared in Qi Han’s mind.

That’s it.

Did the boss really agree?

At this moment, Ji Yunruo’s tiny heart raced, feeling pleasantly surprised.

With ideas for 3 new 1 Star dishes, Qi Han announced the opening of the shop.

Fu Ya continued her usual tasks, attending to customers, taking orders, collecting payments, and cleaning. Yin Shuang was responsible for verifying takeout orders and collecting deposits. She also helped Ji Yunruo organize the orders in chronological order, making it easier for Ji Yunruo to deliver the food to different customers on time.

As for Ji Yunruo, she only needed to take the orders and accurately deliver the corresponding dishes to the customers. This job was the simplest but also the most tiring, as it required constant travel throughout the entire Shrek City area.

Fortunately, the delivery set provided by the system was powerful, with a helmet guiding the best routes, shoes enhancing speed and reducing fatigue, and a large-capacity backpack allowing Ji Yunruo to carry more meal boxes at once, significantly improving her efficiency.

This was just the beginning. As the delivery business expanded, Ji Yunruo’s workload would increase. She would not only need to deliver takeout but also collect the meal boxes from previous customers. Additionally, she would provide on-site ordering services for those who preferred not to come to the shop.

By that time, a single delivery person might be overwhelmed.

Fu Ya nervously pushed open the door, and the seven Title Douluos glanced at her before entering the Small Shop.

“Little girl, where does this Fish Belly Stuffed with Lamb come from?” Bai Changfeng, the White Plum Douluo, was the most impatient and asked the question first.

Deep meditation made time pass even more quickly. For someone like Fu Ya with her cultivation base, 24 hours of deep meditation had already brought significant progress. However, for Title Douluos at their level, it was a torment.

Normal deep meditation wouldn’t be forcibly interrupted. Once successfully entered, it would naturally continue until the meditator had gained insights, ranging from a few days to several months.

However, Fish Belly Stuffed with Lamb was different. Its effect only lasted for 24 hours, and after that time, deep meditation would be forcibly terminated.

Bai Changfeng, a Title Douluo, had almost touched the threshold of the Super Douluo level during his deep meditation. However, it was brutally interrupted just when he was on the verge, like watching a crucial moment in a movie only to be reminded to recharge and continue watching.
