786: Chapter 786: Tang Monk: Let’s Order Takeout Today 786: Chapter 786: Tang Monk: Let’s Order Takeout Today “Give us five of the best rooms!”
In an inn within the Lion Cal Kingdom, Sha Wujing, appearing the most fearso, acted as if he were the leader of the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team in this Lion Cal Kingdom.
“Alright, honored guests!” Seeing Sha Wujing’s towering height and fierce appearance, an innkeeper with a beastly head and a human body, who was a Demon Marshal, quickly nodded in agreent.
However, as the innkeeper spoke, he glanced over at Jiang Liu and the others.
The Journey to the West Team, including the White Dragon Horse, totaled five people, and they actually wanted five rooms?
The others might be okay, but looking at the bald-headed man who was chained up, was he a human Monk?
Did he really need a separate superior room too?
“What are you looking at?
You don’t have rooms?” Generally mild-mannered within the team, but in Lion Cal City, Sha Wujing displayed a nacing behavior that was really convincing.
After all, by definition, Sha Wujing was a demon.
“Yes, yes, sirs, I’ll prepare the rooms for you imdiately!” Seeing how nacing Sha Wujing looked and feeling the aura he deliberately exuded, the innkeeper, despite his confusion, did not dare to ask further and hurriedly responded.
During the conversation, he quickly prepared five rooms for Jiang Liu and his companions.
Imdiately afterward, the innkeeper was very enthusiastic as he pitched: “Honored guests, the delicacies of our humble establishnt are also excellent.
You may want to try them.
We have Human Bone Licorice Soup, Fried Human Palms, and oh, our newly introduced Soft Human Milk Cake…”
“Enough with the nonsense!
We are sowhat tired and will go rest first!” Waving his hand, Sha Wujing interrupted the innkeeper impatiently.
During the conversation, Jiang Liu and his companions went to their rooms to rest.
The master and disciples, traveling westwards, enjoyed excellent als daily thanks to Jiang Liu’s culinary skills.
However, upon entering Lion Cal City, human flesh was the main delicacy.
Although Zhu Bajie and the others didn’t have a big aversion to eating humans, Jiang Liu didn’t allow it, and naturally, they dared not break this rule.
Perhaps the sole precept they had to follow after joining the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team was not eating humans.
After entering their rooms, Jiang Liu and his companions all gathered in one room, naturally, the chains around Jiang Liu’s neck were also unlocked.
“Master, I, Old Pig, am so hungry!
What are we eating tonight?” Zhu Bajie rubbed his belly and asked Jiang Liu.
“Hmm, it might not be great to cook for ourselves in this inn tonight, right?
How about we just have so fruit?” Sun Wukong thought about it and didn’t mind much as he suggested.
“No way, no way!” But as soon as Sun Wukong finished speaking, Zhu Bajie imdiately shook his head and said, “Monkey Brother, you’re a monkey, it’s fine if you eat fruits, but if I, Old Pig, don’t eat at, I’ll waste away!”
“Second Brother, Big Brother is a monkey and eats fruits, aren’t you a pig supposed to drink swill?” As soon as Zhu Bajie finished speaking, Sha Wujing wryly chid in.
Zhu Bajie: “…”
Little White Dragon didn’t speak and bowed his head.
It was better not to join in while his brother disciples bickered.
Otherwise, since he was now a horse, should he start eating grass?
Watching the disciples bickering, Jiang Liu smiled knowingly; he didn’t think the relationship between the disciples was bad, quite the contrary, he felt it was rather harmonious.
“Alright, enough talking, if it’s inconvenient to cook tonight, let’s just order takeout!”
Seeing that the disciples had almost finished their quarreling, Jiang Liu spoke up.
“Takeout!?
Master, what is takeout?” Hearing Jiang Liu’s words, Sun Wukong and the others looked at him curiously.
Was this another new word that had popped out of the Master’s mouth?
“Well, takeout, as the na implies, ans that you order food from ho, and then soone cooks it and brings it to you!” Seeing all of them waiting for an explanation, Jiang Liu smiled and explained what ‘takeout’ ant.
“Ah?
Order food from ho?
How do we order?
How will it be delivered?”
Even though Jiang Liu explained the aning of takeout, Sun Wukong and the others looked at each other, even more puzzled.
“You’ll know once you see the Master do it!” With a slight smile, Jiang Liu didn’t explain further.
During the conversation, Jiang Liu asked Sun Wukong, “Wukong, what would you like to eat?
I’ll order it for you!”
“Master, I, Old Sun, want to eat waterlon!” Sun Wukong thought for a mont and said.
“Hehe, I, Old Pig, want to eat a whole roasted sheep!” Zhu Bajie also spoke up, chuckling.
“Master, I’ll just have so simple food!” Sha Wujing didn’t have any particular request.
“I’ll have a mix of at and vegetable dishes!” Seeing that the Master’s final gaze fell on him, Little White Dragon thought about it and spoke up.
“Okay, understood!”
After making an OK gesture, Jiang Liu spoke up, not caring whether Sun Wukong and the others could understand, silently noting their orders in his mind.
Then, Jiang Liu closed his eyes slightly, clearly getting ready.
Zhu Bajie and the others were all looking at Jiang Liu expectantly.
Takeout!?
That sounds incredibly convenient and quick!
I don’t have to do anything myself, just order?
Soone will cook it and even deliver it!?
Under the watchful eyes of Sun Wukong and the others, Jiang Liu seed to be communicating with half-closed eyes for about half a tea’s ti; soon after, he opened his eyes and said to them, “Okay, the other party is preparing now, we’ll have to wait a bit!”
Since they had to wait for the takeout to be ready, Sun Wukong and the others naturally continued to wait patiently, chatting casually amongst themselves as disciples would, and occasionally watching Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie bicker, which made the ti pass quickly.
“Master, the weather is getting hotter, and if we could have chilled waterlon, that would be perfect,” Sun Wukong said during their casual conversation.
“Don’t worry, no problem!” Jiang Liu said, making an OK gesture as usual.
“Monkey Brother, you want waterlon, and it has to be chilled?
Such high demands?
Won’t that take more ti, and we’d have to wait even longer?” Hearing the request from Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie couldn’t help but comnt, clearly poking fun at Sun Wukong’s excessive requests.
“You fool…” Zhu Bajie’s mocking words visibly annoyed Sun Wukong, who grabbed Zhu Bajie’s ear and said, “I, Old Sun, am just asking for chilled waterlon.
Junior Brother Sha and Xiaobai’s als are simple, only you want a whole roasted sheep!
Feel your conscience and say, who’s item takes the longest to prepare!?”
“Uh, this…”
With his ear grabbed by Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie cried out in pain but couldn’t deny that Big Brother was right—his roasted sheep indeed took the longest to prepare.
“Monkey Brother, I was wrong, I was wrong…” Left speechless and feeling the pain in his ear, Zhu Bajie quickly admitted defeat and pleaded for rcy.
In the beginning, Zhu Bajie was no match for Sun Wukong, but it was mainly due to his own laziness; if he really put his mind to it, Zhu Bajie could still compete with Sun Wukong for hundreds of rounds.
However, during their journey to the west, Zhu Bajie’s cultivation level didn’t increase much, while Sun Wukong had advanced to level 84, increasing his cultivation level significantly.
Thus, in both argunts and physical fights, even if Zhu Bajie wanted to be serious, he was no longer a match for Sun Wukong.
The two of them enjoyed bickering, and the team had long been used to it, so no one else spoke up.
After waiting for about a Chinese hour, Jiang Liu suddenly spoke up to them, “Okay, disciples, our dinner is all prepared!”
Hearing Jiang Liu’s words, even Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie who were bickering stopped and looked at Jiang Liu expectantly.
Jiang Liu raised his hand and brought out a basin directly, a fine basin filled with crushed ice, and on top of the ice lay neatly sliced pieces of waterlon.
“Wukong, this is your chilled waterlon!” Jiang Liu said.
“Wow!?
It’s really here!” Seeing that the Master had actually managed to get chilled waterlon, Sun Wukong’s eyes lit up.
“Bajie, this is your roasted whole sheep!” Following that, Jiang Liu held a thick wooden stick.
The stick skewered a whole roasted sheep, sprinkled with chili powder and cumin powder, and it slled incredibly appetizing, making Zhu Bajie’s drool flow.
Sha Wujing, Jiang Liu, and Xiaobai all had als too, so the table was also set with nine dishes and one soup, a mix of at and vegetable dishes, looking very lavish indeed.
“Hmm, not bad, not bad, the flavor is decent; it’s not as good as Master’s cooking, but it’s quite good!” After tearing a large piece from the roasted sheep and taking a bite, Zhu Bajie nodded and said.
“Junior Brother Sha is right, the flavor of these dishes is also quite good!” Seated next to the table, Sha Wujing first picked up a piece of cold century egg with his chopsticks, chewed it for a mont, and nodded in agreent.
“Master, if you had this takeout ability, why didn’t you use it earlier!?” As Xiaobai was eating, he couldn’t hold back his curiosity and asked Jiang Liu.
“Xiaobai, do I even need to say it?
The Master is very particular about food; although the takeout tastes decent, how can it compare to Master’s cooking?
So, of course, the Master prefers to cook it himself!” Before Jiang Liu could reply, Zhu Bajie explained on his side.
Ding ding ding!
While eating, a ssage notification sound ca from the friends list.
Jiang Liu opened the list; it was Red Boy’s avatar flashing.
“Sect Hierarch, how is it?
The new chefs we hired at Fla Cloud Entertainnt City are decent, right?
This Gang’s Treasury is really handy, isn’t it?”
