Chapter 9 Spiritual Power

After watching Zhou Xuebin and the others leave, Yan Nantian and his party also returned to the restaurant, sealed the door panel and closed the windows to prevent spies from infiltrating in other restaurants.

Yan Nantian and the other four sat around the lobby, with a complex expression on their faces, and there was a bit of hidden worries in their joy. They were delighted that Yipinju's business was extremely prosperous, and they were worried that the development method of tofu was being watched.

"Xiaotian, I didn't expect that the ingredients you studied were so successful that they could be valued by Lord Ling Chu." Yan Yunhua stroked his beard and said with emotion.

"Yes, it is precisely because the young shopkeeper invented tofu that our Yipinju business is so popular. I have never seen so many customers." Zhou Dacheng said with a happy look.

"Shao shopkeeper, spies sent from other restaurants, how should we deal with them?" Zhou Dawa asked.

"The shopkeepers of the other restaurants probably have red eyes, and they want to get the method of making tofu as soon as possible. We must deal with this well." Yan Yunhua nodded and said.

"When I just gave Zhou Xuebin and bald head, I deliberately pointed out the identity of each other's Lingchu, and it also said that I would go to deliver tofu in person tomorrow. I believe that the people in other restaurants were afraid and would not dare to do anything tonight." Yan Nantian analyzed.

"The way you dealt with it just now does make them have some concerns for the time being, but we don't have a deep relationship with Zhou Xuebin after all. If we were discovered by other restaurants, we might not be afraid." Yan Yunhua said.

"Yes, Lord Ling Chu just said he wanted to use our tofu, but he didn't say he would protect us." Zhou Dacheng said.

After Yan Nantian came to another world, he also specifically learned about Lingchu's situation. Lingchu's status is far higher than that of a chef, just like the difference between a mortal and an immortal cultivator.

Yan Nantian pondered for a moment and said, "Grandpa, I have a way to alleviate the crisis of Yipinju."

"Oh, what's the solution?" Yan Yunhua said in confusion.

"We can spread news to the outside world, just say that after I developed tofu, I was appreciated by a Lingchu Lord. It is very likely that I will become a disciple of Lingchu, and it should be able to shock some sluts." Yan Nantian said.

"Disciple of Ling Chu?" After hearing Yan Nantian's words, Yan Yunhua showed surprise and murmured.

"Young shopkeeper, it's true that Lord Zhou Xuebin is a Lingqiu, but he didn't say that he wanted to accept you as his apprentice. Will this arouse Lord Zhou Xuebin's disgust?" Zhou Dacheng showed a hint of worry and said.

"Uncle Cheng, don't worry about this. I just said that I might become a disciple of Lingchu. I didn't say that I would definitely become a disciple of Lingchu, let alone that Lingchu was Zhou Xuebin. And there were a lot of Lords on the other side, so I guess I wouldn't care about these things." Yan Nantian said with a smile.

There is another saying that Yan Nantian did not say. The bald man has always been unrestrained and can stay by Zhou Xuebin's side, proving that Zhou Xuebin is not a petty person.

"Young shopkeeper, even if we spread the news, it is just a storm. Others may not believe it." Zhou Dawa shook his head slightly and said.

"Hmph, there is no need for them to believe it completely. As long as they can make them half-believing and half-doubting, they cannot prove the authenticity of this matter. Under the power of Lord Lingchu, no one dares to attack Yipinju." Yan Yunhua snorted coldly and said.

"Okay, since grandpa has agreed, then do it like this." Yan Nantian nodded, then stood up and said:

"It's getting late, so everyone should take a break early and get up early to make tofu tomorrow."

...

Inside the private room of Babaozhai Restaurant, a candle was pointed at the table, and the room seemed a little dim. Zhou Bajing stood in front of the window and looked out, which was exactly where Yipinju Restaurant was located.

"Crack..."

With a sound, the door was pushed open from outside. Zhou Wancai strode into the room and said breathlessly: "Dad, something is wrong."

"Look at how you look like you are in a panic!" Zhou Bajing scolded, then sat on the stool beside him and said, "Tell me what happened."

"Dad, I will send someone to Yipinju as you told me before. It was the news coming from there." Zhou Wancai said.

"What news? Have you found out the way to make tofu?" Zhou Bajing showed a look of expectation and said.

"The method of making tofu is not yet obvious, but it involves a big shot. Zhou Xuebin, the Lingchu of Yuelai Ju Restaurant, has just walked out of Yipinju Restaurant and seems to have reached some agreement with Yipinju." Zhou Wancai said.

"Zhou Xuebin, Lingchu of Yuelaiju! How could such a top figure in Wujiang Town be involved in Yipinju?" Zhou Bajing was shocked, stood up from the stool, walked around the room, and said, "Have you withdrawn the spy sent to Yipinju?"

"As soon as I heard that it was Lord Lingchu, I immediately retreated the people, and the spies sent from other restaurants were gone." Zhou Wancai said.

"Of course, Ling Chu's identity is extraordinary. Without knowing the relationship between him and Yipinju, which restaurant dares to attack Yipinju." Zhou Bajing said.

"Dad, what do you think you should do now?" Zhou Wancai asked.

"About tomorrow morning, you will send someone out to inquire and see what the relationship between Zhou Xuebin and Yipinju is. Only then can we make a plan and move later." Zhou Bajing said.

If it weren't for the unique ingredients of tofu, which could make various delicacies, and had great prospects and abundant benefits, Zhou Bajing decided not to risk offending Lingchu and explore the way to make tofu.

...

In the early morning, the sun slowly rose from the east, and Yipinju Restaurant opened for business. Yan Nantian walked out of Yipinju with a food box. His two dark circles were very dark.

Early in the morning, Yan Nantian got up to make tofu. After making the tofu, he sent Zhou Dawa out and asked him to go to the market to spread news that Yan Nantian might become a disciple of Ling Chu in order to shock those who have ill intentions.

Yan Nantian himself was not idle, and the food box contained fresh tofu. He wanted to rush to the Lingchu Restaurant of "Yuelaiju" to deliver tofu to Zhou Xuebin as agreed.

The reason why Yan Nantian wanted to send him off in person was not how diligent Yan Nantian was, but that he wanted to bring his relationship with Zhou Xuebin closer and to know more about "Lingchu".

After Yan Nantian came to another world, he had not wandered around Wujiang Town. Although the houses and roads in this world are not as good as the steel and concrete on the earth, they also have a unique style.

The tallest building in Wujiang Town is the only four Lingchu restaurants in the town. Each one is four floors tall, which is twice as high as other buildings in the town.

Yuelai Ju Restaurant is in the center of Wujiang Town. According to previous memories, Yan Nantian quickly found the location of Yuelai Ju Restaurant, which is much more luxurious than Yipin Ju Restaurant.

Yuelaiju covers a large area, and the overall building is mainly red. On the second floor is a plaque with three words "Yuelaiju" written in gilded characters. The ground is paved with white marble in front of the door, and two stone sculptures of the Qilin beasts are placed in front of the door.

Yan Nantian walked to the door of Yuelaiju, reported his name to the restaurant clerk, and explained his purpose. The guest asked him to wait aside, and then ran into the restaurant to report the letter.

Yan Nantian was very curious about the Lingchu Restaurant unique to another world, but he didn't dare to break into the restaurant privately. He was able to look around at the door of the restaurant again, but it was still early in the morning and there were no guests in the restaurant.

After a while, a bald man walked out of the Yuelaiju Restaurant. It was Lingchu Zhou Xuebin's entourage. He waved to Yan Nantian and said, "You kid, why did you run away from ancient times so early?"

"I'm afraid that it will delay Lord Zhou's affairs, so I sent the tofu in advance." Yan Nantian walked forward and said with a sincere look on his face.

"Well, you guy is meant to be kind, just give me the tofu directly." The bald man nodded and said.

"Although I have seen it three times, I don't know what you call me?" Yan Nantian asked with a smile while handing over the food box.

"My name is Liu Qiang. If you call me Mr. Liu in the future, you will be able to do it." The bald man responded, then opened the food box to check. After seeing the tofu inside, he nodded and said:

"I have accepted the tofu. Is there anything wrong with you guys?"

"Master Liu, I really have something to ask for advice." Yan Nantian said.

"You kid really know how to hit snakes and sticks. Tell me if you have any problems." Liu Qiang said.

"Mr. Liu, I'm a chef. I hope to become a spiritual chef one day, but I don't know how to achieve it?" Yan Nantian asked.

"Hmph." After hearing Yan Nantian's words, Liu Qiang snorted coldly and said:

"There are so many chefs in the world. There are a few who don't want to become a spiritual chef. It's not just a matter of becoming a spiritual chef. It not only requires a certain talent, but also requires spiritual power, spiritual consciousness, and spiritual fire. How can ordinary chefs do it?"

Yan Nantian heard people mention three abilities: spiritual power, spiritual consciousness, and spiritual fire, but it is difficult for him to understand, and he does not know how to obtain these three abilities.

"Mr. Liu, I don't know what spiritual power, spiritual consciousness, and spiritual fire are?" Yan Nantian asked.

"I am not very proficient in spiritual consciousness and spiritual fire, but when it comes to this spiritual power, I know a little bit." Liu Qiang showed a hint of complacent expression and said.

"I would like to ask Mr. Liu for advice." Yan Nantian bowed and said.

"Seeing that you are so sincere, I will let you see what spiritual power is!" Liu Qiang chuckled and said.

Then, a powerful aura surged from Liu Qiang's body, and a faint red light appeared on his body. He waved his right arm, clenched his fist with his right fist, and suddenly hit him. A red fist flashed across his fist and flew towards the ground ahead.
