God of Cuisine Reborn: I Became Invincible by Cooking

Chapter 7 – Cook well

They rushed over as soon as possible, but unexpectedly, this group of cunning ones arrived even earlier.

"Were you guys waiting here all afternoon?"

"No, we just got here."

First come, first served. Everyone naturally lined up, the early ones were extremely excited, while the latecomers grumbled.

However, no one cut in line, because this was a rule set by Ye Changqing, and even if he didn't say anything, the other disciples wouldn't agree.

For a bowl of braised noodles, never doubt the determination of these disciples.

Fairness benefits everyone, and anyone who cuts in line would surely become everyone's enemy.

The long line stretched outside the courtyard. At this moment, the two girls who missed the noodles at noon and had been looking forward to them all afternoon hurried over.

On the way, they said smugly.

"Sister, this time there's no problem, we came so early, it's not even time yet."

"Mm."

They thought they were early enough, but who would have thought that before even entering the courtyard, they saw the long line and were instantly dumbfounded.

"Junior Brother, what's going on?"

"Waiting for the meal, Senior Sister is here to eat too? Then please queue up."

Seeing the line extending outside the courtyard, the smiles on the girls' faces froze. It wasn't even mealtime yet, what was going on with these people?

They thought they were early enough, but who knew this group of cunning ones came even earlier.

This was even more outrageous than the monthly distribution of cultivation resources, back then they weren't this excited, and now just for a bowl of braised noodles?

They wanted to go ahead and see what was happening, but as soon as they took two steps forward, many disciples discontentedly said.

"Hey, hey, hey, Junior Sister, don't break the rules, go queue at the back."

"Yeah, yeah, we're all in line, first come, first served, don't you understand?"

Just taking two steps forward, they were met with opposition, so the two girls shrank back, reluctantly lining up at the end of the queue.

"What do we do, Senior Sister, are we going to miss out again? What's so special about this bowl of braised noodles?"

"Uh, let's wait, maybe we'll get to eat it."

They could only comfort themselves like this, hoping to get a taste.

Meanwhile, at the top of Divine Sword Peak, where the elders, direct disciples, and the Peak Master resided.

Inside a cave abode, a drunken old man was speaking to a young girl.

"Youyou, did you remember everything I just said?"

"Yes, I remembered it all."

"Do you have any questions?"

"No, Master."

"Then you may leave."

"Disciple takes her leave."

Respectfully exiting the cave abode, the girl didn't linger and headed straight for the foot of the mountain, ignoring anyone who called out to her along the way.

"Huh, what's Junior Sister Youyou up to? She's in such a hurry."

"Yeah, she didn't even respond when called, and she's heading straight for the foot of the mountain."

They spoke in confusion, as a direct disciple, she shouldn't be so flustered. Could something urgent have happened? But they hadn't heard of any major events.

This young girl was none other than Lu Youyou, the first to taste the braised noodles.

After eating that bowl of braised noodles in the morning, Lu Youyou couldn't stop thinking about the delicious taste all day. She had planned to come at noon, but her master called her, and she couldn't get away.

Finally, she endured until the afternoon, and she was determined to have that bowl of braised noodles.

So, after bidding farewell to her master, she hurried to the kitchen.

She moved at top speed, and before long, she reached the foot of the mountain. The people queuing outside the kitchen only felt a gust of wind, followed by a white figure flashing by.

"What just went by?"

"Couldn't see clearly, a big white rat?"

"Nonsense, it was clearly a person."

Wondering why there were so many people outside the kitchen, Lu Youyou didn't care about anything else, she just wanted a taste of the braised noodles.

Her figure instantly appeared in the courtyard, her big eyes blinking as she looked at Ye Changqing.

"Junior Brother Changqing."

She called sweetly, and upon hearing this, Ye Changqing, who was cooking noodles, looked up and saw it was Lu Youyou, then smiled and replied.

"So it's Senior Sister Youyou."

"Yes, I'm here for noodles again."

Upon hearing this, before Ye Changqing could respond, the surrounding disciples spoke up.

"This Senior Sister, you can have noodles, but please queue at the back."

It was clear that Lu Youyou wasn't a menial disciple, but since she wasn't wearing a direct disciple's attire, they couldn't be sure of her status, but at least she should be an outer sect disciple.

But with braised noodles at stake, what did it matter if she was an outer sect disciple? Go queue up.

Perhaps experiencing this for the first time, Lu Youyou looked at Ye Changqing in confusion, seeing this, Ye Changqing helplessly said.

"Senior Sister Youyou, these are the kitchen's rules, I have no choice."

In Ye Changqing's place, there was no distinction between menial, outer, inner, or direct disciples. After all, each person could only provide a bit of praise per meal, so everyone was the same.

Seeing Ye Changqing's firm stance, Lu Youyou pouted in disappointment but still nodded.

"Oh, then Junior Brother, make sure to save me a bowl."

"Alright, don't worry, Senior Sister, there's plenty prepared this time, everyone will get some."

One bowl after another came out, and before long, everyone was eating braised noodles.

Those who had eaten before still devoured it, and those who hadn't were even more excited.

Like those two girls, at this moment, they were eating the braised noodles with tears of happiness in their eyes, not caring about their image.

"Woo woo woo, Senior Sister, it's so delicious."

"I was so stupid at noon, agreeing to exchange five Body Refinement Pills for a bowl of braised noodles, I regret it so much."

They completely regretted it, if they had known it was this delicious, they wouldn't have exchanged it for five, not even ten Body Refinement Pills.

The sound of slurping noodles and requests for more echoed continuously.

Everyone felt a great sense of satisfaction, and some even suggested to Ye Changqing.

"Junior Brother Changqing, how about changing to three meals a day?"

As soon as this was said, it received unanimous support.

"Yeah, Junior Brother Changqing, they say three meals a day is healthier."

"I agree."

"Agreed."

Nonsense about health, a bunch of cultivators talking to me about this?

Thinking about it, three meals a day wouldn't be bad, but would the time be too tight? Ye Changqing was planning to get some cultivation resources recently, and although he had the system, he couldn't slack off. At least before bed, he had to cultivate for an hour or so.

So he shook his head and refused.

"Apologies, Senior Brothers and Sisters, I really can't manage three meals a day, I need time for my own cultivation and to find ways to obtain cultivation resources."

Even as a menial disciple, besides the fixed monthly resources, obtaining cultivation resources required completing tasks.

Upon hearing this, Lu Youyou was the first to stand up, taking out more than ten jade bottles and placing them in front of Ye Changqing.

"Junior Brother Changqing, do you lack cultivation resources? Senior Sister has them, you don't need to worry about such trivial matters, just take them and use them."
