Chapter 2040 A Feast Good Enough To Impress Royals

After a while, the food was ready to be served and Little Shrubby handled that too.

He divided the food into five equal portions, and one massive portion that was intended for Lin Mu. "It's done!" Lin Mu said, gesturing to the plates.

On the table, a total of five dishes were present. First was the steaks that the Crown Prince Feng Shun had requested.

The second was the milk stewed fish requested by Crown Princess Shang Yingtai.

The third dish though was a hearty stew made with various organs that was mostly for Lin Mu and Little Shrubby.

The fourth dish was stir-fried immortal herbs with young Evergreen Pillars Bamboo shoots, and then layered on top of Immortal Rice. This was the vegetarian option that Lin Mu got Little Shrubby to make with Monk Hushu in mind. After all, from what he knew, most Buddhist monks didn't eat meat.

The fifth was a dessert made from various immortal fruits, which were then combined with the gelatin from bones to make a fruit jelly. This was intended for everyone to enjoy as a treat, though Lin Mu reckoned Mei Nienzhen would probably like it the most, considering what he had seen before.

And with that, a relatively 'simple' four course meal was prepared. Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com

Of course, it was only simple when compared to what Lin Mu and Little Shrubby usually prepared for themselves. But even then, the ingredients were nothing but simple. They were fit for a king and would cost a lot if one were to get them in a restaurant at the Capital city.

Most of the time, it wasn't even something that just anyone could cook, and only the imperial court might enjoy it regularly.

And yet, a beast had managed to accomplish the same.

"Haha, sure." Lin Mu replied. "I'll give it to you later." He felt pleased that they were enjoying it.

"Looks like we were still underestimating Little Shrubby." Crown Princess Shang spoke. "His greatest ability wasn't even his speed, but rather his ability to cook!" she was pretty much enthralled. ~Purr~

Little Shrubby showed his appreciation and rubbed his head against her hand, which made her feel quite nice too.

Most of the group enjoyed the food for about an hour, after which the Crown Prince, Crown Princess Shang, Monk Hushu and Daoist Chu were full. Only Lin Mu and Mei Nienzhen were still eating. Of course, the woman had slowed down by this time and was close to getting full.

Lin Mu noticed the way she was eyeing the tray of jelly and guessed what she was thinking.

"If you want, you can keep the fruit jelly for later." Lin Mu replied. "You don't have to finish all of it right now." He added.

"I can?" Mei Nienzhen asked.

"Yeah." Lin Mu nodded.

"Okay." Then without hesitating, Mei Nienzhen stored away the entire tray of jelly for later.

Of course, the tray had at least ten kilograms of jelly on it which would be more than enough for her to eat for a couple of weeks. But it was another question where she would be able to resist and eat it sparingly.

Lin Mu didn't know that gifting Mei Nienzhen the fruit jelly had earned him her trust as well. 'Should I bring him home like mother said?' She wondered.
