AST 2108 - The Extremely Expensive Imperial Cuisine Hall Dishes (1/2)

Nuo Lan watched Qing Shui as he turned the building into a clinic. They were only one step away from opening it. Though it was a bit small, it was as Qing Shui said: So long as there was a Miraculous Physician in it, there was nothing to be worried about.

“When will it open?”

“Probably within the next few days. I am not in a rush to open it, so we can find a good date to do so.”

While speaking, Qing Shui decorated the sign of the Imperial Cuisine Hall. When it came to advertising a brand, the techniques used in this world could rival against the ones from his previous incarnation. After all, the World of the Nine Continents was also a colorful world. One of the simplest examples was the beast’s blood. The blood of a lot of the demonic beasts wasn’t red. Of course, there were also things like the branches and leaves of a particular plant.

However, Qing Shui’s signboard was designed to be quite simple. The majority of the rectangular shaped board was made of snow-white beast’s parchment, whereas the materials for the frame on the right-hand side were the beast’s bones of the same color. Qing Shui wrote the words “Imperial Cuisine Hall” himself. His writing seemed bold and at the same time retained some of its elegance. From here, it could be seen that Qing Shui had decent writing skills.

The signboard only acted as a guide to tell people what they did. Even though a good quality signboard might be important, it didn’t mean everything in a business.

Qing Shui didn’t expect Nuo Lan to be like Qing Ci or Yuan Su in the future. Nevertheless, he still hoped that she could be good enough to support the business on her own. After all, it was not easy to find a person with a medical background but also trustworthy.

Qing Shui’s room was on the second floor, whereas Nuo Lan’s was on the third. In the past, that was where Nuo Lan also used to live. Each floor already had the size of a big house from his previous incarnation. There were living rooms, kitchens, and so on. Everything was prepared in full.

They decided not to run the business today. Nuo Lan seemed to be very eager to learn more about medical skills. Seeing that, Qing Shui handed her some of the medical notes that were hand-written by himself. Considering it was his own records of different medical knowledge, it was one of his treasured possessions.

It was already noon, and yet the woman didn’t seem to want to stop at all. Seeing that, Qing Shui went up to the second floor and started preparing some food. The building was soon filled with the smell of smoke and fire as well as some pleasant smell. Very quickly, an abundant fragrant food aroma diffused across the area.

The food which Qing Shui prepared mostly centered around medical cuisines. There were also some Crystal Buns. These things were indispensable if he wanted to increase the reputation of the clinic.

Nuo Lan glanced towards the second floor the moment she smelled the fragrance. Driven by curiosity, she neared the area with the medical notes in her hand. By the time she noticed Qing Shui, there were already three dishes on the table. There was also an additional plate with four crystal-like buns on it.

“Alright, let’s have some food.” Said Qing Shui as he took out a bottle of wine and two Crystal Night Light Rings.

He poured the wine into two separate cups while Nuo Lan sat there and looked at him blankly. She couldn’t believe that the dishes which he had prepared would be so perfect in both their looks as well as their smells. Most importantly, in this world, the majority of the powerful warriors wouldn’t bother making dishes. Despite that, chefs also held a considerably high status in this world. A lot of people wouldn’t mind spending thousands of gold just to request a famous cook to help them prepare their meals.

“Are you the one who made this?” Nuo Lan’s mouth was slightly opened as she looked at Qing Shui in shock.

Looking at the woman’s current expression, especially her sexy lips, Qing Shui felt a strong urge to move forward and nipped on it. To Qing Shui, her lips were even more seductive than the food on the table.

“Since the Imperial Cuisine Hall will be opening tomorrow, I feel that it’s necessary for you, the female owner, to have a taste of our food.” Qing Shui smiled and said. But he soon realized that what he had said was a bit incorrect. A female owner?

Actually, Qing Shui didn’t have any special meaning with his words. However, the statement which he just made had too much ambiguity to it.

Meanwhile, Nuo Lan also gave Qing Shui a weird look. However, she remained silent as she took the chopsticks from Qing Shui’s hands. She picked up the food from the dishes and put it in her mouth. She revealed a lot of different expressions as she was doing so. Her seductive eyes were tranquil and beautiful.

“Delicious! This is the most delicious food I have ever eaten!

In the beginning, Nuo Lan was still reserved with herself but eventually, she let herself go and ate more than half of the food on the table. Among the dishes, the Crystal Buns seemed to be her favorite. She ate all four of them.
