Becoming The Food God In This Cultivation World

The system acted quickly. In the next second, Qi Han watched as the menu on the wall changed.

Small portion Egg Fried Rice – 5 Gold Coins per serving

Large portion Egg Fried Rice – 10 Gold Coins per serving

After a brief silence, Qi Han spoke again.

“System, please add the rule of not wasting food as well.”

After all, it was quite tiring for him to remind any new customer every time they stepped into the shop

The system readily accepted Qi Han’s reasonable request.

Not long after the menu was updated, a figure walked into the small restaurant. The person’s steps were quick, indicating a sense of urgency.

“Is this a restaurant?” The figure was short and chubby, dressed in a sophisticated and slightly tight-fitting outfit. He casually found a table and sat down, looking around before his gaze landed on the menu.

“Those who are wasting their food would be blacklisted?” the chubby man muttered under his breath. “There are so many rules here.”

“Boss, how much bigger is the large portion of Egg Fried Rice?”

Qi Han took out a new plate from the kitchen and showed it to the chubby man.

It was a new plate recently added by the system, specifically designed to hold a double portion of the regular Egg Fried Rice. It was meant for serving large portions of Egg Fried Rice.

The chubby man glanced at it, compared it to his own appetite, and then spoke eagerly.

“I’ll have a small portion of Egg Fried Rice. Please make it quick, I’m in a hurry.”

Qi Han nodded and went back into the kitchen.

At this point, Qi Han could cook a serving of Egg Fried Rice in less than two minutes. Shortly after, a steaming plate of Egg Fried Rice was placed in front of the chubby man.

The chubby man sniffed the aroma and exclaimed in surprise. He took a spoonful of Egg Fried Rice and put it in his mouth.

After a few bites, his eyes lit up, and he started eating faster. Soon, the plate of Egg Fried Rice was completely empty.

The chubby man’s previous anxiety disappeared, replaced by a smile. He walked up to Qi Han and handed him 5 Gold Coins.

“Boss, have you ever considered opening a branch?”

Hmm?

Qi Han took the money and felt somewhat surprised by the man’s question.

But he still answered sincerely, “No, I haven’t considered it.”

“Let me introduce myself first, Boss. My name is Pan Kong, and I’m the owner of Pan Trading Company. We have branches all over the Douluo Continent and are financially strong.”

As if to strengthen his persuasiveness, Pan Kong puffed out his belly. “Even in Shrek City, we have a branch. You should know how valuable the space is there, which proves the financial strength of Pan Trading Company.”

“Boss, how about partnering with me? Your Egg Fried Rice is so delicious that opening branches all over the Douluo Continent would definitely make a lot of money!”

Qi Han glanced at the enthusiastic Pan Kong but replied in a calm tone, “I remember you said you were in a hurry?”

“I was, but the situation has changed!” Pan Kong waved his hand casually. “I was in a hurry to meet a client for a business deal, but now I’ve found a better opportunity, so I’m not in a hurry anymore.”

“Alright.” Qi Han shrugged. “I think you should hurry to meet your client now.”

Saying that, he turned around and returned to the kitchen.

“I apologize, but as of right now, I have no plans to open up a branch.”

“This…” Pan Kong was slightly taken aback. He didn’t expect Qi Han’s reaction to be so indifferent. With decades of business experience, he could naturally tell that Qi Han was genuinely not interested in opening a branch.

Could there really be someone who doesn’t care about money?

Pan Kong found it hard to believe.

Letting out a sigh, Pan Kong turned around and left in a hurry.

If he couldn’t do business here, he would move on to the next opportunity.

Whether it’s doing business or being on the road to doing business, it is the motto of Pan Trading Company and also Pan Kong’s motto.

Watching Pan Kong leave, Qi Han remained unaffected.

Although someone had recognized his value after only two days of opening the shop, it made him somewhat happy.

But he was clear about his own abilities.

Currently, he was just a chef who knew how to cook one dish.

Not to mention that according to the system’s judgment, he was only an apprentice chef.

Open a branch?

That was impossible, at least for now.

As lunchtime was coming to an end with no customers, Qi Han closed the door and entered the system space.

Braised Pork Stomach with Chicken, here I come!

According to Qi Han’s estimate, he could master this recipe by tomorrow at the latest, and then he could add new dishes to the menu.

When Qi Han emerged from the system space again, it was already evening.

He shook his head to clear his mind from the dazed training state and then opened the door to the shop.

Several men dressed in Tang Sect attire, grouped in threes and fives, entered the shop.

Qi Han was slightly surprised but quickly recognized a few familiar faces from yesterday among the crowd.

All of them wore Tang Sect uniforms with distinct yellow stripe patterns.

This was the emblem of the Defense Hall.

Having been in Shrek City for two to three days, Qi Han had already learned about the distinctive characteristics of Tang Sect attire.

Based on the different positions within the sect, Tang Sect uniforms were divided into six colors: white, yellow, purple, black, red, and gold. And the four halls of Tang Sect were represented by different colors in the patterns on their clothes.

Black represented the Power Hall, yellow represented the Defense Hall, purple represented the Agility Hall, and green represented the Medicine Hall.

Most of the people entering the shop were wearing white uniforms, but three of them were wearing yellow uniforms.

Among those three, Qi Han noticed Zhou Long.

Seeing Qi Han’s surprised expression, Zhou Long laughed heartily.

“Boss, I told them that your Egg Fried Rice in this shop is amazing, but they didn’t believe me. So here they are, coming to taste it for themselves.”

‘They are here to taste the food?’

‘Well, I hope they all become regular customers.’

Qi Han nodded and then walked towards the kitchen.

The men from the Defense Hall were all muscular and had large appetites. As soon as they sat down, one of them ordered a large portion of Egg Fried Rice.

Afterwards, they sat in groups of three to five and chatted.

This was the first time the shop had a lively atmosphere since it opened, and Qi Han nodded in satisfaction. His hands moved swiftly, quickly serving plate after plate of Egg Fried Rice.

The entire dining area was filled with the aroma of the dish, and even some of it drifted out onto the street, attracting passersby.

Many pedestrians caught a whiff of the enticing aroma and, seeing the bustling atmosphere inside the shop, eagerly entered to give it a try.

Thanks to the influence of the Tang Sect members, the shop reached full capacity for the first time.

It was a virtuous cycle. Once passersby tried the food and became satisfied customers, the shop would attract even more new customers.

By the time the shop closed, Qi Han collapsed onto a recliner, exhausted.

In one evening, he had sold hundreds of servings of Egg Fried Rice.

Cooking in the shop didn’t allow him to enjoy the system’s high-tech feature of eliminating fatigue. Combined with the mental exhaustion accumulated in the system space, Qi Han just wanted to lie down and get some rest.

His Spirit Power flowed slowly, alleviating his physical fatigue, but unfortunately, the amount of Spirit Power was too little. Perhaps when his Spirit Power level increased in the future, situations like this would improve.

This made Qi Han even more eager to complete the Main Quest 3.
