Cultivation from the top

Chapter 3
However, Cheng Tianye, who was outside the kitchen, could clearly see what Mu Gongweng thought was a seamless plan.Whether it was Mu Gongweng's rhetoric to trick his disciple into giving medicine, or Mu Gongweng's own complacency, Cheng Tianye saw everything, but Cheng Tianye did not make any noise at this time, but left quietly.

"Who!"

Mu Gongweng noticed that there were people outside, and immediately appeared outside the kitchen. Except for a few crickets, there were no other living things.

Too suspicious?
Mu Gongweng thought so, but he quickly put this matter behind him, compared with a few crickets, how much fire is left in the refining furnace is more important.

So Mu Gongweng turned around and walked towards the refining room.

Just as the disciple in the kitchen was processing the remaining ingredients, he suddenly felt dizzy, and then his eyes went dark, and he fell to the ground.

Getting up again, the disciple shook his head, the dizziness just now made him almost unable to stand up.So, the disciple took a deep breath, trying to recover his physical strength with the help of spiritual energy.However, faster than the aura entering the body, a burnt smell first penetrated into the nose, making the disciple frown.While pinching his nose, he looked for which pot to burn.

Following the burnt smell, he found the burnt pot. The disciple staggered two steps back and fell to the ground.

It's so hard to die, it doesn't matter which pot is burnt, but it's the pot that the ancestors put the medicine on.Although I don't really seem to be drugging that pretentious rich second generation, but now how should I explain to my ancestors?The paste pot was still very thorough, and there was no soup left in it, only the burning smell that filled the room came from the bottom of the pot.As long as you can make another pot of soup with the leftover soup base, what should you do now?
The disciple smelled the pungent burnt smell, looked at the ingredients on the cutting board next to him, and thought of an idea.

Although there are risks, at least it is much better than the current situation.

So, the disciple stretched out his hand to the ladle in the water tank...

The sun was setting soon, and Cheng Tianye came to the living room of Mu Gongweng's residence on time. Various dishes were already set up on an expensive table. Mu Gongweng, who was sitting on the chair, saw Cheng Tianye push the door in. Hastily stepped forward to meet.

"Young master, you are finally here, sit down."

Mugongweng greeted Cheng Tianye enthusiastically. Compared with the previous high-cold attitude, Mugongweng was like a small restaurant owner in the world, his face was full of enthusiasm, without any falsehood.

Cheng Tianye sat on another chair next to the table, looked at the table full of dishes, and complained about Mu Gongweng.

"Didn't I say that four dishes and one soup are enough? Why do you still cook so much?"

"The young master said that, but the old man dare not do that. The old man can't afford to neglect the young master. The young master should just try something new and eat whatever he wants."

Mu Gongweng set the table and chopsticks for Cheng Tianye, and the set of rhetoric in his mouth was very pleasant.

"And this foie gras, I feel nauseated when I see it."

Cheng Tianye didn't move his chopsticks, but pointed to a plate on the table and said dissatisfiedly.

"Oh, I'm confused, I forgot to tell the kitchen, it's my fault. Someone, remove the foie gras."

The disciple behind Mu Gongweng immediately took the plate containing the foie gras from the table, which made Cheng Tianye calm down a little.

"Either you stew the whole goose, or you don't eat anything with so much fat, it's not good for your health."

Cheng Tianye also backed down a bit, and said a word of concern, which made Mu Gongweng burst into tears.

"The young master is so considerate of the old man, it is really a blessing for the old man. Please let the old man serve the young master on the left and right, without any complaints!"

After saying that, Mu Gongweng was about to kneel down, but Cheng Tianye hurriedly helped him up.

"Look at you, you're always doing something like this. Mu Gongweng is the family's master craftsman, how can I accept such great etiquette? No way."

Cheng Tianye's speaking style was a bit biased by Mu Gongweng.

"I didn't expect the young master to have such a heart at such a young age. It really makes this old man feel ashamed. Come, please let this old man offer a toast to the young master."

Mu Gongwen raised the jug and poured wine into the two wine cups. One cup was first handed to Cheng Tianye, and the other cup was picked up by Mu Gongwen, signaling to Cheng Tianye.

However, Cheng Tianye raised his hand and rejected Mu Gongweng's toast.

"Thank you Mu Gongweng for your kindness. I am underage and cannot drink alcohol."

After Mu Gongweng heard this, his expression was a little displeased, but he quickly changed his expression.

"Since the young master is still young, it doesn't matter if he doesn't drink alcohol. Then let the old man replace the wine with tea and toast the young master."

Cheng Tianye took the teacup without refusing, and drank the tea inside.Although the effect of tea on the dinner table is not as good as wine, but under the premise that Cheng Tianye refuses to drink, tea is a good choice.

Just when Cheng Tianye was about to pick up vegetables with his chopsticks, he was stopped by Mu Gongweng.

"My young master, why not drink the appetizing soup first, and then eat other dishes, it will be more delicious."

The original plan was to serve the soup mixed with sleeping powder at the end of the meal.But Mu Gongweng couldn't wait to charm Cheng Tianye and throw it into the refining furnace, so Mu Gongweng directly proposed to eat the soup first and then eat the vegetables.

"Is there such a thing as this?"

Cheng Tianye has only heard of "wash your hands before and after meals" and "rinse your mouth after meals". He also knows that Western food has soup as an appetizer before eating a meal, but he never imagined that Chinese food should drink soup first. Chinese soup is served in Cheng Tianye In my impression, it can actually be treated as a dish, instead of being taken out and tasted separately like now.

"This is the food order that I have summed up over the years. Drink the soup first, and then eat the vegetables, which will greatly increase your appetite."

Mu Gongweng started to talk nonsense, and he didn't know if there was such a rule.

"OK then."

Cheng Tianye compromised.

"Come here, serve the soup."

The disciple who served the soup brought a casserole. After the disciple opened the lid of the casserole, a burst of fragrance came out.

"smell good."

Cheng Tianye said involuntarily.It is really that the aroma in this casserole is too strong, and the smell makes people appetite greatly.

"Then you're welcome."

Cheng Tianye picked up the spoon, put a few spoonfuls of soup from the casserole into a bowl, blew on the heat, and tasted the thick soup with the spoon.

Seeing Cheng Tianye drinking the soup, Mu Gongweng almost laughed out loud.

The plan was so smooth that the next step could be carried out almost without any twists and turns.

"Thick but not heavy, fragrant but not greasy, lingering fragrance, endless aftertaste, it is really the best."

Cheng Tianye spoke highly of the soup made from the casserole.

"Can I have some more?"

Cheng Tianye asked Mu Gongweng.

"The young master can drink it all if he likes it, don't worry about the old man."

Mu Gongweng confirmed Cheng Tianye's thoughts with a smile.

"Really? That's a shame."

Then, Cheng Tianye almost devoured all the soup in the casserole.

Just as Cheng Tianye was stroking his swollen belly, he suddenly looked distressed, his eyes widened, and his breathing became short of breath.

"Mu Gongweng, you..."

Seeing Cheng Tianye's painful expression, Mu Gongweng knew that his plan had succeeded.
