“Tie on your aprons and open all one hundred gilded wormhole delivery chutes—tonight, Mom and Dad right are cooking the 100-Planet Grand Family right Reunion Banquet for two hundred billion people at once!”
In the entire history of the Nine Heavens and Three Thousand Worlds, not even a Rank 9 Galactic Culinary Immortal had ever attempted to cook. Moreover, Serve a piping-hot, simultaneous family dinner for nearly two hundred billion people across one hundred planets at the exact same second!
The sheer scale of the raw ingredients stacked on the floating prep-islands around the 500-Mile Golden-Bronze Reunion Cauldron defied mortal imagination:
- Ten billion tons of freshly milled Golden-Sun Spring-Wheat Flour for hand-pulling unbroken longevity noodles;
- Eight billion gallons of slow-simmered Rank 7 Spirit-Chicken, Pork-Bone, and Star-Dragon Marrow Broth;
- Three billion tons of aged Pixian Doubanjiang Chili Bean Paste, roasted Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, clove, cinnamon bark, and fermented rock-sugar soy glaze;
- And ten million floating cold-storage barges piled mountain-high with prime Frost-Marbled Spirit-Lamb and Snowflake Beef, alongside fresh baby bok choy, lotus root slices, golden enoki mushrooms. Sweet corn grown under Su Nuannuan’s blossom rain!
Yet standing on the main floating chef’s platform directly above the rim of the five-hundred-mile bronze cauldron, Gu Changsheng wasn’t flustered in the slightest.
