Chapter 290 - Medicinal Cuisine
When the Old Master spoke, everyone was taken aback.
There was more to come? Were the earlier dishes merely appetizers?
Hiss~
The crowd contemplated fearfully and involuntarily gasped in astonishment!
The Jade King's curiosity was piqued upon hearing this.
“If these are merely starters, I'm even more intrigued!” he exclaimed.
Jiang Hao surveyed the room and then announced,
“Since you're all curious, I see no reason to keep you in suspense any longer!”
He turned to Head Chef Lin, who stood behind him with deference, and commanded,
“Little Lin, clear these away.”
“Bring everyone fresh bowls and chopsticks, and serve my medicinal meal!”
Head Chef Lin bowed deeply and responded promptly,
“As you wish, Grandmaster Jiang!”
The waitstaff swiftly cleared the table, and then Head Chef Lin, flanked by two culinary masters, presented a large earthenware pot.
“Here, serve each person a bowl,” Jiang Hao directed. Head Chef Lin, along with the two masters, began ladling out the soup.
Soon, each guest had a bowl of aromatic soup steaming before them, its scent so soothing that they felt almost ethereal, irresistibly drawn into its allure.
Jiang Hao refrained from interrupting the experience.
After some time, the guests emerged from their reverie, visibly astounded.
Uncle Hai was particularly affected.
He had merely taken a gentle whiff, not expecting the aroma to stir the dormant Genuine Qi within him.
Suddenly, his Genuine Qi surged, hinting at an imminent breakthrough!
He sensed that drinking this soup would propel his realm, stagnant for forty days, to new heights today!
In that moment, he truly grasped the Old Master's earlier words:
“This is undoubtedly a tremendous stroke of luck for me!”
Without further ado, the Old Master eagerly dove in, and the rest followed suit without a word.
With each sip of the soup, a comforting warmth spread through them, their vitality reaching its zenith, as though they had imbibed an elixir of the gods!
Simultaneously, toxins were purged from their systems, leaving them feeling inexplicably rejuvenated and light.
Jiang Hao observed the healthy glow on everyone's cheeks, along with the grime, and met their astonished gazes with an explanation.
“This medicinal cuisine is designed to cleanse and rejuvenate the body, enhance beauty, and boost overall health!”
“The reactions you're all experiencing are perfectly normal, so there's no need for alarm!”
He then turned to Xue Zixi.
“Miss Xue, could you please organize a shower and a change of clothes for everyone?”
The Heavenly-Mansion Tavern's supreme district was fully equipped with amenities, including an upstairs swimming pool, so these were minor issues.
In that instant, Uncle Hai's presence became commanding. Jiang Hao, the Old Master, and the others sensed it and shared a knowing smile.
“Grandpa, go ahead and eat!”
“Uncle Hai needs a little rest. I'll take him to relax for a bit.”
Upon hearing this, the Old Master gestured to Jiang Hao and continued to heartily consume bowl after bowl.
It was then that Uncle Hai truly grasped the gap between himself and the Old Master.
Jiang Hao escorted Uncle Hai to a private room and kept watch from a sofa outside.
Some time later, the group returned, transformed.
Their complexions were radiant, their spirits high, and their bodies brimming with vitality.
It was as if they had all undergone a profound metamorphosis, emerging as entirely new individuals compared to before.
