Apocalypse: I rescued the big boss with millions of supplies

Chapter Sixty-Six: The First Clash with Fu Yang

“Uncle Pao.” Long Yangyang walked up to the third floor and saw a slightly chubby middle-aged man behind the counter. Long Yangyang compared this man with the person in the original owner’s memories and found that the other party really hadn’t changed much.

When Pao Shanzhen saw Long Yangyang and Fu Muyu, her eyes were filled with obvious surprise: "It's Yangyang and Muyu! You're back. You must have encountered a lot of trouble on the way."

Seeing some unfamiliar faces following behind the two, I said, "You brought friends? You must have met them on the way. Well then, to celebrate your return, I'll treat you to dinner."

Pao Shanzhen's ancestors were imperial chefs, and his family had lived in Qingdu for generations. Long Yangyang and Fu Muyu often came to their Zuixianju restaurant to eat when they were young, and Pao Shanzhen practically watched them grow up.

"Uncle Pao, we appreciate your kindness, but we're here today because someone wants to treat us to dinner." Long Yangyang gave Fu Yang a meaningful look.

Pao Shan Zhen: ? ? ? Oh dear, isn't that the Fu family's illegitimate son who came from who-knows-where? Why are the three of them eating together?

"Uncle, there are many of us, so could you please go to the trouble of getting us a Manchu Han Imperial Feast first?" Long Yangyang ordered the food without any hesitation.

Paoshanzhen: ...It's the end of the world, things are hard to find.

“Yangyang, as you know, times have changed. Some things are hard to find now, and prices are different too. You know the rules here.”

"Uncle, don't worry, I definitely know your standards. Don't worry, I guarantee that no matter how many dishes are served, we will finish them all," Long Yangyang assured.

Sometimes, when Qing and Yinzhu, those two gluttons, are around, they can finish any amount of food. "As for the price, Uncle, you don't need to be polite with me. That guy, Fu something, says he's some kind of regimental commander, very powerful, and he's not short of money."

Upon hearing this, Pao Shanzhen immediately understood what Long Yangyang was up to. Well, she was just trying to cause trouble for Xiao Muyu. Oh well, he didn't like this illegitimate child who had appeared out of nowhere anyway.

"Yangyang, you have a lot of orders. Wait a minute, let me call your brother Dahai out to help you out," Paoshanzhen said in a loud voice. "Dahai, come out quickly, get ready to start cooking! This is the first big order after the rainstorm, so we have to do it well."

"Dad, I heard you, stop shouting." Unlike Pao Shanzhen's tall and fat figure, Pao Haiwei was a noble young master with severe mysophobia. He had fair skin, was handsome, and his most precious feature was his hands that held a kitchen knife.

Long Yangyang didn't know if the post-apocalyptic world had cured this person's germaphobia, but judging from the fact that he was still wearing gloves when he came out, it was probably hopeless.

Long Yangyang's little scheme naturally didn't escape Pao Haiwei's notice. "We'll prepare the meal right away. Yangyang, you can ask for more if you need it."

"Brother Dahai, don't worry, I'll definitely patronize your business." Long Yangyang urged everyone to sit down quickly, smiling as she looked at Shi Qing's androgynous face.

"We've finally arrived at the base today, and someone's even generously treating us to a meal. Everyone, don't be shy, eat as much as you want, understand? Shi Qing also has Silver Candles?"

When Shi Qing met Long Yangyang's smiling face, he felt that something was off. Shi Qing subconsciously moved closer to Fu Muyu, wondering if he had upset Long Yangyang recently.

Silver Candle didn't have the same high intelligence as Shi Qing. After hearing Long Yangyang tell it to eat, it climbed from Fu Muyu's wrist onto the dining table. Looking at the empty table, the snake's head turned 180 degrees to look at Long Yangyang: Where's the food?

“It will be available soon,” Long Yangyang replied.

"Yangyang, this is... a mutated beast?" Long Yuanchen looked at the silver bracelet on Fu Muyu's wrist in surprise. He was wondering why Old Fu was wearing an ornament on his wrist. It turned out to be a snake.

Most animals mutated into enormous sizes after the apocalypse, but I never imagined there were even smaller mutated ones. It's truly eye-opening.

"Old Fu, you're truly something else. The people at the base only keep cats and dogs as mutated beasts, but you're raising snakes. It's just that these snakes are rather tiny," Long Yuanchen said.

Yun Cangshu gave Long Yuanchen a strange look, thinking of the original form of Yin Zhu, and hoped that Long Yuanchen would not be frightened when he saw the real form of Yin Zhu in the future.

"Come on, steamed lamb. This is a mutant lamb. Uncle has always been reluctant to take it out. Today, Xiao Yangyang, you and Xiao Muyu have returned safely, so Uncle specially prepared this for you. Try it."

Looking at the steamed lamb that Pao Shanzhen brought out, which was more than three meters long, and seeing that the plate, which was no more than one meter in diameter, contained a steamed lamb that was more than three meters long, Long Yangyang felt that the giant mutant animals that had grown to enormous sizes after the apocalypse seemed to make the small plate seem a bit superfluous.

"Since it was specially given to me by my uncle, I'll share it with people who aren't important." Long Yangyang glanced in the direction of Fu Yang and Han Nanjun, and the two of them paused in their chopsticks.

Fu Yang: ...I will endure it, for a small act of impatience could ruin a great plan.

Long Yangyang happily distributed the steamed lamb to everyone, and even the chefs who were busy in the kitchen, Pao Shan Zhen and Pao Hai Wei, were given a separate portion.

Long Yangyang took a bite and found it incredibly delicious. Not only that, but even after eating the mutton, a warm feeling spread through her body, and Long Yangyang felt her superpowers increase slightly: "Xiao Fei, it's so delicious. If you could finish it, I would have saved some for you."

[Once your superpower reaches level 30, I can regain my physical form. Yangyang, you must find a high-level mutant sheep and treat me to a Manchu Han Imperial Feast. And the Imperial Chef superpower—there are two of them! These two are worth your investment; raise their superpower levels. You'll be lucky in the future.]

The ability of a royal chef is extremely rare and very useful. Many people have already discovered that using mutated plants and animals can replenish energy, which is of great help to those with superpowers.

The chefs' superpowers not only make delicious food, but the dishes they create using mutated ingredients can fully utilize the energy contained in mutated plants and animals, allowing humans to absorb it completely.

Those with the ability to cook can immediately identify the most edible parts of mutated plants and animals, making them the best candidates for finding usable ingredients from these plants and animals.

Roast duck, roast chicken, roast goose, braised pork, braised duck, soy sauce chicken, cured pork, preserved pork belly, dried meat, sausage, assorted cold dishes, smoked chicken belly, steamed eight-treasure pork, glutinous rice stuffed duck, and other meat dishes were then served by the chef.

More than twenty dishes were served in succession, each with a generous portion, demonstrating the exceptional skill of the Pao family father and son. Not to mention others, even Long Yangyang couldn't wait to reach out and grab each dish as soon as it was served. They were all mutated chickens, ducks, and pigs, not only delicious but also full of energy.

The Imperial Chef's ability really is as Xiao Fei described, it's really useful. Long Yangyang secretly considered the possibility of poaching him back.
