His cooking is so delicious that he's become the darling of the entire cultivation world.

Chapter 171 Puppet

"Yun Ci, I want five steamed buns. The spirit stones are in the bucket."

The first disciple from the miscellaneous service peak in the group said.

He still has three spirit stones left this month.

He originally wanted to eat vegetable buns, but steamed buns were more filling. Yun Ci's steamed buns were very big, and one could last him two days.

Looking at the exquisitely beautiful Yun Ci in front of him, the servant disciple's eyes were filled with admiration and fervor.

"Okay, shall we eat here or get takeout?"

"Pack it up, I need to go work at Beast Taming Peak later."

The handyman disciple replied somewhat embarrassedly.

Yun Ci nodded in agreement, walked to the side, and lifted the pot lid.

Steam rose from the paper bag containing five large, hot steamed buns.

Looking at the disciple from the Miscellaneous Service Peak in front of him, Yun Ci asked, "Do you want something to eat on the way? We have chili sauce and egg sauce today. You can put some in your steamed buns, would you like some...?"

The egg sauce and chili sauce were made by him yesterday.

The disciple from the miscellaneous service peak was taken aback, and his expression became conflicted.

What should he do? Yun Ci looked at him with those eyes, and he didn't want to refuse Yun Ci.

But if he buys more, he'll go hungry later.

The disciple from the miscellaneous service peak looked up.

Yun Ci blinked at him.

!

The disciple from the Miscellaneous Service Peak exclaimed, "Add, add, add! I want both!"

Yun Ci smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll give you two steamed buns with egg sauce, two steamed buns with chili sauce, and one steamed bun plain. Is that alright?"

Seeing Yun Ci's dazzling smile, the handyman disciple was even more confused.

He kept saying "plus plus plus..."

Yun Ci took out a knife and cut the steamed bun in half, but not completely, so that the sauce wouldn't fall out.

Scoop two spoonfuls of egg sauce into the steamed bun. The egg sauce stains the white steamed bun, making it look delicious.

The chili sauce looks even more appetizing.

It contained chili peppers and crushed peanuts, and some of the ingredients spilled out.

The other people in line behind were drooling with envy.

Steamed buns can be eaten like this?

There were other people waiting to eat, so Yun Ci cooked quickly. "Here you go."

The disciple immediately realized what was happening, and nervously asked, clutching the two spirit stones in his hand.

"How many spirit stones?"

Yun Ci was taken aback, then shook his head, "No need for spirit stones."

The day before yesterday, a disciple from the miscellaneous service peak asked him when he was going to make steamed buns. He then learned that steamed buns were more filling.

So this time he made the steamed buns bigger and also made some sauces to go with them.

"Thank you, Yun Ci. You're so kind."

Thinking back to the days of hard work and eating the unpalatable food in the canteen, Yun Ci was like a ray of light to the people of the Miscellaneous Service Peak.

"Oh dear, everyone knows Yun Ci is great. You can leave after you've bought yours, it's my turn now. Yun Ci, I want a bowl of the wontons you just ate, a steamer of pork xiaolongbao, and the five steamed buns you made earlier..."

The disciples from the Alchemy Peak behind them couldn't wait to speak.

The servant disciple quickly stepped aside, took out a steamed bun with egg sauce inside, and took a bite.

good to eat.

He never knew that steamed buns could taste so good.

The egg sauce is salty and flavorful, with a delicious egg aroma.

As he approached the gate, he noticed that the path leading to Yun Ci's courtyard was covered with a layer of fallen leaves.

He paused, then swept the path clear.

The second disciple from the Alchemy Peak to buy food brought steaming wontons and xiaolongbao to the table, and then went back to get steamed buns with egg sauce and chili sauce.

He walked over to the side, took two small dishes, and poured in chili oil and vinegar.

I walked back, picked up a small steamed bun with my chopsticks, dipped it in vinegar, then in chili oil, and stuffed it directly into my mouth...

Instant satisfaction.

"Yun Ci, I want a steamer of pork xiaolongbao."

"Ok."

"Yun Ci, I want two bamboo tubes of taro balls and taro milk tea."

"it is good."

"Yun Ci, I want a bamboo tube of taro balls and taro milk tea."

"it is good."

"Yun Ci, I want a steamer of pork xiaolongbao, a bowl of wontons, and a bamboo tube of milk tea."

"Yun Ci, I want five steamed buns, with..."

"Yun Ci, we're out of vinegar."

"Yun Ci, is the sausage ready yet?"

"Yun Ci, the milk tea is so delicious..."

"Yun Ci, do you have someone you like?"

"Yun Ci..."

As more and more people came to buy food, Yun Ci gradually became busier.

Chu Ziming was also helping to collect the spirit stones.

Almost every disciple of the sect eating in the courtyard had a bamboo tube on their table.

After they finished their meal, they didn't forget to take the bamboo tube with them when they left, drinking as they went.

Four female cultivators sat at the table, each holding a bamboo tube.

They chatted while drinking taro ball milk tea through a straw.

"This milk tea is so delicious!"

"Yes, I'll buy a few more bamboo tubes later."

One bamboo tube is simply not enough to drink.

"Me too."

"Me too, me too..."

At noon, the crowds increased again, and Yun Ci's fair face became flushed from the busyness.

Seeing this, everyone looked at Yun Ci with a mixture of pity and eagerness, and told her that they were not in a hurry.

The milk tea was sold out before noon, and many female cultivators came to ask if they wanted to buy it.

Yun Ci had no choice but to tell everyone that there would be more tomorrow.

After noon, Yun Ci decided to close up shop and start selling again tomorrow.

He had already decided that earning spirit stones was the most important thing.

Rest is important, and so is spiritual practice.

When the people who arrived later heard that they weren't selling today, they were immediately disappointed and decided to come earlier tomorrow.

......

After everyone left, Yun Ci stretched.

Suddenly, two figures appeared in the courtyard.

Yun Ci and Chu Zimo looked over.

"Grandpa Huaiyuan!?"

"Master!?"

The two boys' handsome faces immediately lit up with surprise.

Elder Huaiyuan looked at Yun Ci with a smile on his face. He opened his arms and said, "Hehe, did you miss your grandfather?"

Yun Ci nodded and walked over. "Yes, I've thought about it."

Hearing this, Elder Huaiyuan laughed even more heartily, "Hehe...Grandpa brought you something fun this time, look..."

Looking at the warm atmosphere over there.

Elder Chengxuan's serious face revealed a hint of envy.

Chu Ziming looked at Elder Chengxuan and asked, "Master, why are you back so early?"

Elder Chengxuan, "..."

Elder Huaiyuan took out three palm-sized wooden puppets.

Yun Ci hesitated for a moment, "...Grandpa, I'm not a child anymore."

Elder Huaiyuan smiled and said, "These are puppets from the Puppet Sect. You can bind these three puppets with your divine sense, and they will obey your commands."

His grandson works so hard cooking every day, so this time he's going to show off his grandson while also finding him a helper.

puppet?

Yun Ci's eyes lit up, and under Elder Huaiyuan's guidance, she used her divine sense to bind one of the puppets.

Suddenly, the puppet's eyes emitted a white light and then visibly enlarged.

It kept getting bigger and bigger, until it became even taller than Yun Ci.

“Now we can give it commands,” Elder Huaiyuan said.

Yun Ci nodded, looked at the puppet, and thought for a moment.

"Go and clear the table."

After saying that, the puppet went to the table and started tidying it up.

In no time, every table was cleaned up, and the spilled vinegar was wiped away.

Yun Ci's eyes lit up.

"Sweep the yard."

In a short while, the yard became clean and tidy, just as it had been before the people came that morning.

Yun Ci immediately liked the puppet even more, and he was overjoyed. "Thank you, Grandpa!"

Elder Huaiyuan was overjoyed to see that Yun Ci liked it.

"As long as my grandson is happy!"

Thinking to himself, since his grandson likes them so much, he'll have to ask the old man for a few more puppets for his grandson to play with next time.

*

The Puppet Sect, tens of thousands of kilometers away.

Inside a cave filled with puppet arms, legs, heads, and fingers.

A short old man was sitting cross-legged on the ground making a puppet, muttering angrily to himself.

"Damn Huaiyuan, damn big sect! They think my little sect is easy to bully, and they stole my puppet..."

It is extremely difficult for a puppeteer to make a pleasing puppet. He has only made two in the past ten years. He originally wanted to show them off, but they were "snatched" away.

Hmph, I knew he shouldn't have gone.

Looking at the stick-like thing in his hand.

What is this? They say it was made by their grandson? Is it even edible? It's just a wooden stick...

As he spoke, he suddenly smelled a peculiar aroma and tentatively took a bite...

*

The puppet walks without any stiffness and looks almost like a human.

Yun Ci touched it; it felt soft, and the skin was like that of a real person.

I don't know how I did it.

amazing.

The three little ones were seeing a puppet for the first time and immediately went forward to take a look out of curiosity.

The little ginseng greeted the puppet, "Hello, my name is Baby, what's your name?"

“Daddy, he’s ignoring the baby.”

The little ginseng pointed at the motionless puppet, its tiny white hand grabbing Yun Ci's hem to complain.

Yun Ci smiled and picked up the little ginseng, "He can't talk."

With the puppet, his life will be much easier from now on!
