Not long after, Cheng Xiaofan returned to the bamboo pavilion carrying a large net bag of cucumber snake meat. He placed the meat in a large pot, added various seasonings and water, covered the lid, and started a fire.
Taopao was responsible for tending the fire by the stove.
Cheng Xiaofan then stir-fried two plates of vegetables in an electric pot.
These vegetables were all from the space garden. A little oil and a quick stir filled the room with a fragrance that seeped into one's bones.
Lu Shengming and Li Mingxi couldn't imagine how ordinary eggplants and peppers became so fragrant in Cheng Xiaofan's hands.
Just the smell alone made their mouths water and their stomachs rumble!
Half an hour later.
A large basin of cucumber snake meat was placed on the table.
The beige soup was sprinkled with bright green scallions, and chunks of white snake meat were piled in it. The rich aroma was enough to make one prostrate themselves before the table.
Beforehand, Cheng Xiaofan had already portioned out two basins of cucumber snake meat and placed them outside the door for Taopao and Potianying to enjoy.
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan used a large ladle to scoop a large bowl of soup and meat for Li Mingxi, saying with a smile, "Mingxi, this is the cucumber snake that scared you into calling for help. It's a great tonic. Eat more, it will calm your nerves!"
"Of course, if you're still scared, you don't have to eat it!"
When Li Mingxi heard that the meat in the bowl was snake meat, she was so frightened that she was about to push it away. However, the aroma that wafted to her nose was too tempting to resist.
She quickly said, "Master, I'll eat it. I'll eat whatever you want me to eat!"
Saying that, she picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. The fresh, tender, and juicy meat immediately made her taste buds explode with joy.
"It's so delicious! I can't believe there's such delicious snake meat in the world!" Li Mingxi exclaimed excitedly.
Cheng Xiaofan took out a jar of happy wine and poured a cup for each person, saying, "Today, for my cheap disciple, I'll let you taste some top-grade happy wine!"
"This happy wine, I sell it externally in one-jin portions, each bottle for a hundred billion. I won't sell it for a cent less!"
"Ah, is there such expensive wine in the world?" Li Mingxi asked with a foolish look on her face.
Lu Shengming had already seen reports about it on the news. He just didn't expect Cheng Xiaofan to bring out such top-grade happy wine to entertain them.
It seemed he had indeed benefited from Li Mingxi today.
Gulp, gulp, gulp. The three of them tilted their heads back and finished the wine in their cups.
Dao Dahai had drunk happy wine here many times, but he had never tasted the true top-grade happy wine.
Now, everyone wanted to taste what the hundred-billion-per-jin happy wine was like.
Cheng Xiaofan's heart twitched as he watched. He thought, this top-grade wine is meant for tasting, not for drinking like water, alright!
He quickly called out, "Come, come, everyone listen to me. Drink less, eat more vegetables, stay healthy, and grow handsomer!"
"Haha, this happy wine is too good!"
"Master, I want to drink more!"
"Xiaofan, don't worry, if we can't finish the dishes, we'll definitely pack them up to take away!"
The three of them shouted.
In their opinion, wine that cost a hundred billion per jin was too expensive to ask Cheng Xiaofan to take away. After all, the price was too staggering.
But since he brought out the entire jar, it was probably to let everyone drink to their heart's content, right?
As for the delicacies on the table, since there was no price marked, if they couldn't finish them, they could indeed pack them to take away.
An hour later.
The entire jar of wine was drunk up by Lu Shengming, Li Mingxi, and Dao Dahai, and the dishes on the table were also packed away in plastic bags by the three of them.
Li Mingxi originally wanted to stay in Zhuxi Village, but Cheng Xiaofan drove her away.
Looking at the mess on the table, he suddenly realized that he had taken a cheap beautiful disciple today, and he had been completely tricked.
How could someone as clever as him be deceived?
After Cheng Xiaofan cleaned up the dishes and sat in the rocking chair, sipping the golden tea in his cup, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
A jar of happy wine, a full five jin!
Today, he had earned over twenty billion from two people from the Blood Demon Sect, and not only had he lost it all, but he had also incurred a deficit of over twenty billion.
This debt would be written off on those two from the Blood Demon Sect.
If they hadn't come here, how could these three gluttons have been brought here!
Forget it!
A man does what he does, no regrets!
After all, he still had over twenty billion in his bank card.
It was just five jin of happy wine, he could brew dozens more with a little effort!
Cheng Xiaofan rushed into the space and directly used the power of the space to start brewing top-grade happy wine.
A little over an hour later, he came out of the space, covered in sweat. He took a shower and lay down on the bed.
This time, he brewed a full ten jars of top-grade happy wine, all stored in the space.
He wasn't in a hurry to use the money now, nor did he need to rush to sell the happy wine.
The longer the wine was stored in space, the better its quality.
To be honest, for a descendant of Shennong, there were thousands of ways to make money. He was really reluctant to sell this newly brewed happy wine externally.
Wouldn't it be more enjoyable to keep it for himself, his family, and Bai Goddess to drink?
With these thoughts cleared up, Cheng Xiaofan's mood instantly became pleasant. He threw himself onto the bed, closed his eyes, and instantly fell into a deep sleep.
In his dream, Cheng Xiaofan transformed into a golden dragon again.
However, this golden dragon did not soar into the vast starry sky. Instead, it coiled in a patch of clouds and mist, occasionally extending a claw to trace the traces of the Great Dao.
Occasionally, colorful flowers of the Great Dao would drift down from the depths of the starry sky, landing on the golden dragon.
These flowers of the Great Dao piled up on the golden dragon, and in the blink of an eye, they seeped into the dragon's body, transforming into mysterious power that flowed continuously through its limbs and bones.
When he woke up, Cheng Xiaofan felt refreshed. As he stretched his body, his joints emitted a series of sounds like thunder.
Every inch of his muscles and joints seemed to be under his command.
Awesome!
That feeling was truly great!
The only thing Cheng Xiaofan regretted was that he couldn't have a profound fusion of souls with his Bai Goddess in a dragon boat in the starry sky in his dream.
He wondered if practicing together in real life would lead to a major breakthrough in cultivation?
First, he needed to finalize their marriage. This way, Cheng Xiaofan felt he could legitimately "occupy" his goddess.
With the experience from his dream, he believed Bai Goddess wouldn't refuse him.
His parents had already built a villa for him and Bai Goddess. Today, he needed to prepare some furniture.
Thinking of this, Cheng Xiaofan immediately called Miao Xiuhua.
"Mom, I'm going to make furniture today, so I won't be back!" Cheng Xiaofan said.
Miao Xiuhua immediately replied, "Okay, Xiaofan, where are you making furniture? A few sisters from the village saw the dragon and phoenix bed you made, and they were so envious. They want to see how you made it."
"Mom, you can't see this,"
Cheng Xiaofan said in a very serious tone, "I make furniture using secret techniques. Some of these techniques cannot be exposed to the public. Mom, please don't make things difficult for your son!"
Miao Xiuhua immediately said, "Actually, I didn't want to show them either. Now that you've said it, I understand. I'll find an excuse to brush them off."
