Chapter 1167: Chapter 733: Dinner at the Xue Family Ancestral Home_2
Just when Lu Siyue was immersed in the happiness of the cuisine, Yang Xuan beside her widened her eyes, then stared straight at the boy sitting next to her.
As the girl who knew Chu Mo the earliest and lived with him for three years, Yang Xuan had tasted Chu Mo’s cooking countless times.
In the beginning, Chu Mo’s cooking skills were even quite immature, and he would even burn braised pork ribs, but later, as he cooked more and more, his skills gradually became proficient.
Yang Xuan couldn’t even remember when she started getting used to eating the meals he cooked. At that time, their dinner together every night seemed to have become a routine part of life.
However, back then, Chu Mo’s cooking skills were just ordinary home-cooked food level, the kind that was edible but not particularly delicious, at least compared to now, they were worlds apart.
For Yang Xuan, this man by her side was incredibly mysterious. It seemed that since the night he put on a Patek Philippe watch worth tens of millions, he was no longer the silly youth she knew but had become a stranger.
“Try this sweet and sour fish, I made it lighter, just the way you like!”
As the young man beside her carefully served her the food, Yang Xuan gently looked up and saw his face filled with smiles.
Just like two years ago, when the two lived together in a shared apartment, Yang Xuan’s favorite dish was sweet and sour fish, and every few days, she would get to eat this dish. To cater to her taste, the boy, who originally preferred spicier food, would deliberately make this dish lighter.
Picking up the delicacy from her bowl and gently tasting it, the incredibly sweet flavor gave Yang Xuan an unreal feeling, as if she was in a dream, where everything around her seemed to disappear, and she and the man in front of her seemed to return to that warm and romantic shared apartment from two years ago…!
As Yang Xuan fell into boundless memories, having already finished the rice in her bowl, Lu Siyue sighed deeply, then suddenly spoke:
“Mr. Chu, this is definitely not flattery… Today, I have truly been amazed. I used to think that the most delicious food in the world was the top-tier Kobe beef steak cooked by the only Michelin six-star chef in the world.
The ingredients used in that dish are all top-notch globally, incredibly delicious and truly exceptional.
But as the only Michelin-certified six-star chef, tasting that chef’s skills is not just something you can do with money; you also have to make a reservation in advance. Even so, many people are willing to queue for half a year and spend tens of millions just to taste that master’s culinary skills.
However, today, after tasting your cooking, Mr. Chu, I’ve really understood the saying, ‘There is always a higher mountain.’ The ingredients you used might not be as exquisite as his, but the delicacies you’ve created are not at all inferior to those of the six-star chef. Moreover, if we talk about this rice alone… I have never eaten rice this delicious; it feels like I’m in heaven!”
With a fortune worth hundreds of billions, serving as the chairman of a top-tier luxury brand, at this moment, Lu Siyue has none of her usual high-class demeanor; she seemed like a little fan seeing her idol, completely in adoration and pride,
Lu Siyue’s words fell, and the one across, Ru Yu, finally put down her chopsticks and bowl, as she was the one who had been most worried about Chu Mo’s cooking, even thinking about how to refuse Chu Mo’s ‘dark cuisine.’ However, at this moment, having been completely conquered, Ru Yu vigorously nodded and then said seriously:
“April’s right, previously when Rou Rou and I went to Britain to discuss projects, we had met that chef. Although his steak is touted as the most delicious food in the world, honestly, compared to Mr. Chu’s cooking, it’s pretty average.
I believe if Mr. Chu is willing, just with the plethora of delicious food on this table, he could definitely be recognized as the second Michelin six-star chef…
No, considering this bowl of rice, even breaking traditions and being recognized as the world’s only Michelin seven-star chef is not impossible.
By the way, Mr. Chu, the rice you cooked is truly fragrant, eating it makes my entire body feel warm. Usually, I only eat half a bowl, but today I feel like I could eat two… no, even five bowls! Is there any more!?”
In a serious expression on her face like a jade, Chu Mo, who was sitting in the chief seat, shook his head with regret.
Dragon Flame Rice is worth one hundred points of divine wealth. Previously, Chu Mo had only exchanged for one catty, and even if he cooked it all, each person’s bowl would only contain slightly over half a bowl; not a single grain was left in the pot.
Even Chu Mo cannot casually exchange for such rice, as one hundred points of divine wealth is truly too precious. He was merely induced by curiosity and a desire to taste the culinary delights produced by the system, which is why he hardened his heart to make the exchange. After this time, it is unlikely that Chu Mo will exchange for Dragon Flame Rice again anytime soon.
Therefore, even though the few exceptionally beautiful ladies in front of him appeared unsatisfied, Chu Mo could not possibly exchange for Dragon Flame Rice again.
He continued to taste the exquisite dishes in front of him leisurely, then amidst Ru Yu’s expectant gaze, he slowly spoke:
“This type of rice is top-level special supply, with extremely rare production. Even the top families like the eight major clans can’t get a share, and only the world’s most covert forces can enjoy it. Even the bit we tasted was acquired by me through great effort; the amount everyone just ate was already the last of it. It might be a long time before we can taste it again.”
“Ah… why is it like this… I wanted another bowl!”

Ru Yu’s face immediately turned into a bitter melon expression, while at this moment, Lu Siyue on the side nodded very much in agreement:
“Such high-level cuisine, most people won’t taste in their lifetime, having it once at home is already Mr. Chu’s generous treat. Besides, such rice, being more precious than the carmine rice priced at three hundred thousand per catty, is understandably rare and absolutely should not be greedily requested.”
As Lu Siyue’s words ended, the other representatives nodded as well; obviously, even if they were unwilling to let go, they very much agreed with Lu Siyue’s words. This level of top-tier cuisine, tasted once, was already great fortune, how could one frequently enjoy it.
Ru Yu, who was not the kind to make a fuss, was just feeling a bit sentimental, and not really unsatisfied. Seeing that the Dragon Flame Rice was gone, she did not insist and quickly shifted her gaze to the splendid array of dishes spread before them.
The table held twenty-eight dishes, which even if they stretched their bellies, they couldn’t finish. Moreover, these dishes were made by Chu Mo using his system skills, their flavors even surpassing usual Michelin five-star chefs, and only that world’s single Michelin six-star chef could barely compare.
Such top-tier food was equally irresistible, and Ru Yu naturally wouldn’t give it up.
While everyone in the dining room was engrossed in enjoying the food, far away thousands of miles in Zhongzhou, on a mountain path in front of the Shaolin Temple, within a radius of one kilometer, it had been sealed off by Shaolin, strictly forbidding ordinary tourists from stepping foot there.
At this moment, the new Abbot of Shaolin, who was also the former head of the Discipline Court, Grandmaster Zhi Hui, stood by a cave on the mountain path with a grave expression.
The diameter of the cave in front of him was about one meter, but its depth was completely unseen. Even with Grandmaster Zhi Hui’s divine sense, at the peak of upper-level great grandmasters, he couldn’t reach the deepest part of the cave.
Just then, Grandmaster Zhi Hui suddenly gazed ahead, deeply bowing to the empty woods in front of him, and spoke with utmost respect:
“Amitabha!
Shaolin’s 27th Abbot, Zhi Hui, greets the elder of the Xue family!”
As the faint words fell, in the next moment, a middle-aged man exuding an elegant scholarly aura appeared in front of Grandmaster Zhi Hui!
“Just one strike, creating a hole with a diameter of one meter, and a depth of two thousand meters… And moreover, there’s no trace of residual powers of laws around it… Interesting, interesting!”
