NOVEL WEB Chapter 116 - His Net Worth Rose Sharply
Xue Zixi was just as astonished, yet as she gazed at Jiang Hao, her eyes brimmed with regret.
The moment the food touched their tongues, they were transported to a heavenly realm, convinced they were savoring the ambrosia of immortals!
In no time at all, the group devoured the feast before them like a tempest sweeping through.
Having savored Jiang Hao's culinary creations, everyone was invigorated, brimming with vitality.
They had initially dismissed it as mere fancy.
Xue Zixi, after a long day's toil, was aching all over and exhausted, longing for nothing more than to rest at home.
Yet, learning that Xia Qin was off to see Jiang Hao, curiosity got the better of her, and she decided to tag along.
Jiang Hao certainly didn't disappoint her.
What truly astounded her, though, was that his dishes had miraculously banished her weariness.
Now she felt extraordinarily spirited, her entire being infused with energy.
Driven by curiosity, she turned to Xia Qin and asked,
“Sister Qin, don't you feel a surge of energy after the meal?”
Xia Qin was taken aback by the question.
“Zixi, you've noticed it too?”
But before Xue Zixi could elaborate, Jiang Zixuan, Jiang’s mother, Jiang’s father, and others chimed in.
“I feel it too!”
“Same here!”
……
With that, all eyes were on Jiang Hao.
He met their stares with serene confidence.
“It's nothing more than a little trick!”
“The dishes I prepare have the power to dispel fatigue, rejuvenate the spirit, bolster strength, stimulate the appetite, and even prolong life, among other benefits.”
Jiang Hao's nonchalant explanation caused Xue Zixi, Xia Qin, Jiang’s father, and Jiang’s mother to gasp in disbelief.
“Hiss…”
Could a meal truly possess such remarkable properties?
Was this some kind of therapeutic cuisine?
It was well-known that only a culinary Grandmaster could craft dishes with such potent effects.
And Grandmasters in the culinary arts were far from commonplace; their ranks were exceedingly rare.
In all of Hua, a mere four Grandmasters in culinary skills were known to exist!
The Heavenly-Mansion Tavern, owned by her family, boasted a culinary Grandmaster so reclusive that even she seldom caught a glimpse of him. He would only make an appearance for the most prestigious of banquets!
Moreover, each culinary Grandmaster was well into their fifties or sixties at the youngest!
And Jiang Hao? He wasn't even twenty yet!
With this in mind, Xue Zixi's gaze intensified as she looked at Jiang Hao.
The idea of food possessing such unbelievable properties hadn't even crossed Xue Zixi's mind.
But now, connecting the dots without a moment's delay, she eagerly blurted out,
“Mr. Jiang, I'll offer you 50 million to join our Heavenly-Mansion Tavern!”
Her proposal sent a wave of shock through the crowd as they stared at Xue Zixi in utter amazement.
Yet Xue Zixi remained genuine in her offer, fully aware of the extraordinary value of the dishes before them.
Having had the rare privilege of tasting the medicinal cuisine prepared by the old Grandmaster at the Heavenly-Mansion Tavern once or twice, she couldn't help but feel that even he might be slightly outclassed by Jiang Hao!
Her eyes, alight with eagerness, were fixed on Jiang Hao.
Jiang's father and the others shared her excitement, their eyes also locked on Jiang Hao, anxiously anticipating his response.
However, Jiang Hao remained unfazed by Xue Zixi's offer.
He was unmoved, having anticipated her reaction all along.
While 50 million might be a fortune to most, for Jiang Hao, it held little allure.
