Chapter 130 Soul Saint... Slicing Tofu
It's important to know that the customers at Jiubao Restaurant are all wealthy people who don't care about money, and their demand for private rooms is obviously much higher.
Therefore, Jiubao Restaurant had far more private rooms than tables in the main hall. Surprisingly, even so, Jiubao Restaurant still didn't have a single private room left.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Jiubao Restaurant has already set up tables outside the restaurant, and it seems to have occupied some areas of other Jiubao Chamber of Commerce shops as well. It's understandable that the private rooms are full.
I don't know why, but the business of Jiubao Chamber of Commerce has suddenly become so booming.
……
"A table in section A, number 13, has ordered an extra serving of braised lion's head meatballs. Lao Xu, please get that done first!"
"Area B..."
"This is for area A, number twelve. Don't send it to the wrong address!"
In the bustling kitchen, a person was giving instructions to the kitchen staff while looking at a hundred or so orders.
For each dish delivered, Uncle Nine would cross out the corresponding dish name on the order form.
At this moment, the kitchen team of about a hundred people seemed extremely weak, and the speed at which they served dishes was barely faster than the speed at which diners ordered more food.
"Uncle Jiu! Uncle Jiu!" The receptionist who had left earlier carefully avoided the people delivering food and ran towards the person directing the kitchen staff.
"What is it now?" The man called Uncle Nine roared irritably at the front desk.
Can't you see how busy he is right now? All these orders are only kept in order because he's here watching over them.
"Someone wants a private room," the receptionist said breathlessly.
Uncle Nine roared angrily, "Didn't I say there are no more private rooms available!"
"But..." the receptionist suppressed her heavy breathing and said loudly, "But the people who want the private room are from Shrek Academy!"
"Even if they're from Shrek Academy, they'll have to wait!"
Uncle Nine roared furiously, even silencing the sounds of cooking in the kitchen.
"Wait!" Uncle Nine suddenly realized something.
"You mean...it's the Shrek Academy staff who want a private room?"
"Yes!" The receptionist nodded quickly.
"He's a treasure!" Uncle Nine cursed under his breath.
"Hey you, yes, you, stop helping with the delivery and come over here to keep an eye on things for me."
Uncle Nine yelled at the girl who had previously been in charge of mediating between the kitchen staff and the waiters, and immediately walked outside.
At the same time, Uncle Nine was frantically thinking about the list of forces inside each private room.
Uncle Nine quickly found his target and headed towards the corresponding private room.
After much persuasion and negotiation, Uncle Nine finally convinced the sons of noble families inside to give up the private room, offering them considerable concessions.
At least most of these sons of nobles were born out of wedlock, making them much easier to deal with than those in the other private rooms.
Looking at the messy private room, Uncle Nine waved his right hand with a dark face. The light of the storage soul tool flashed, and the private room was instantly emptied.
Then he waved his left hand, and a brand new set of tableware appeared out of thin air in the private room.
"Go and invite those people from Shrek Academy in. Be polite to them."
After resolving the issue with the private room, Uncle Jiu hurriedly returned to the kitchen. That girl was rather slow-witted and prone to making mistakes when she got busy, so Uncle Jiu was really worried about leaving her alone in the kitchen.
With the help of the receptionist, Shrek and his group finally managed to secure a private room.
Sitting on the plush sofa, Jiang Nannan remarked, "The Jiubao Restaurant is really booming!"
They hadn't even had a place to sit down during the long time they were outside.
Wang Yan greeted everyone, saying, "Alright, let's order some food."
Jiang Nannan rushed over instantly. She had seen several delicious-looking dishes outside, and the others were naturally not to be outdone. They had been drooling just looking at them outside.
"What are you looking at? Just give me one of everything first."
Elder Xuan said without any politeness.
He was so focused on the competition that he didn't even notice the Nine Treasures Restaurant in Xingluo City, which he felt was a huge mistake.
Jiang Nannan glanced at the menu and was immediately shocked.
Even the cheapest dish on this menu costs fifty gold soul coins; it's called something like Wensi Tofu, a strange name...
What does "tofu" mean?
The highest price is tens of thousands of gold soul coins, which seems to be the meat of some ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, but it says that the supply is irregular and it is currently out of stock.
This is the cheapest.
Huo Yuhao naturally activated his mental detection to see how many dishes the Nine Treasures Chamber of Commerce had produced, but he was immediately drawn to the Wensi Tofu.
This Jiubao Chamber of Commerce is impressive; their knife skills have developed to the point where they can make Wensi Tofu in such a short time.
With Elder Xuan's order, the Shrek group gave up on ordering food, not even bothering to look at the menu. Instead, they eagerly awaited what kind of dishes the popular Nine Treasures Restaurant would deliver.
"Damn, those Shrek guys really know how to eat!"
Upon seeing the receptionist who came to deliver the message, Uncle Nine immediately swore again.
The Jiubao Restaurant currently has a menu of about a hundred dishes, which can be divided into thousands of different dishes depending on the ingredients. Shrek actually ordered one of each of them.
Are you kidding me? Those thousand-year-old soul beast meats can't be cooked through in a short time. We have to order them half a month in advance. These Shrek guys should just use hundred-year-old ingredients.
Remembering Shrek's identity, Uncle Nine prioritized sending some of the dishes that were meant for other tables to Shrek's table.
While thinking, Uncle Nine skillfully instructed the kitchen staff to prepare the ingredients, and at the same time, he took out a piece of tofu while cursing.
At the same time, he summoned his own martial spirit.
Uncle Nine's martial soul was actually a short sword, and most importantly... this short sword actually had seven soul rings, two yellow, three purple, and two black, which meant he was a Soul Saint.
With a flash of the knife, the tofu instantly transformed into thousands of fine, thread-like strands, which fell into the bowl under the influence of gravity.
"Damn it, I'm definitely going to report this to my superiors later and have this 'Wen Si Tofu' dish removed from the menu. Isn't this dish just plain disgusting?"
This was the first time Uncle Nine had ever seen a dignified Battle Soul Saint come to get his Martial Soul to chop vegetables in the kitchen.
Don't let him find out who made this damn Wensi Tofu!
"Achoo!"
Huo Yuhao suddenly sneezed for no apparent reason.
Strange, who's talking about themselves at this hour? Could it be that Xiao Hongchen has awakened?
"Hey, what are you standing there for?" Wang Dong said to Huo Yuhao, who was distracted.
Wang Yan had finished his celebratory speech and was holding up a wine glass, waiting for everyone to clink glasses.
"Cheers to our champions!" Ma Xiaotao said first.
"Cheers!"

Unlike the enthusiastic atmosphere at Shrek Academy, the atmosphere at the Sun and Moon team was surprisingly oppressive, with the team leader and Master Ma staying together in the room of the Hongchen siblings.
"According to those healing-type Soul Masters, Xiao Hongchen should have woken up by now!"
The teacher in charge said anxiously.
"Water...water..."
As soon as the teacher in charge finished speaking, Xiao Hongchen's weak voice rang out.
Old Ma quickly took out a glass of water and brought it to Xiao Hongchen's lips.
After awkwardly licking up a few mouthfuls of water, Xiao Hongchen weakly asked, "Meng... how is she?"
Have things been a bit too slow lately? I spent a lot of time organizing the later plot, and on top of that, I'm busy during the day, so I can't seem to move the plot forward (lol v lol).
